If it is later determined that the contractor knowingly rendered an erroneous certification in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government the department may terminate this transaction for cause or default.

4. The prospective contractor shall provide immediate written notice to the department to whom this proposal is submitted if at any time the prospective contractor learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

5.

10. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph 6 of these instructions, if a contractor in a covered transaction knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is suspended, debarred, ineligible or voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department may terminate this transaction for cause or default.

Migratory Birds Area 12

Swallow or other migratory bird nests have been observed on or under the existing structure(s) listed below. All active nests (when eggs or young are present) of migratory birds are protected from purposeful take under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The nesting season for swallows and other birds is from April 15 to August 31.

Either prevent active nests from becoming established or prevent birds from nesting by installing and/or maintaining one suitable deterrent device on the following structure(s) prior to nesting season under the bid item Installing and Maintaining Bird Deterrent System:

• B-13-243, Netherwood Street over USH 14

• B-13-248, USH 14 WB over Irish Lane

• B-13-249, USH 14 EB over Irish Lane

• B-13-250, Haight Farm Road over USH 14

• B-13-260, USH 14 over Nine Springs Creek

Area 12

There shall be no instream disturbance of Nine Springs Creek near Station 640+25 EB as a result of construction activity under or for this contract, from March 1 to June 15, both dates inclusive, in order to avoid adverse impacts upon the spawning of fish.

5105-16-63 5 of 18

Any change to this limitation will require submitting a written request by the contractor to the engineer, subsequent review and concurrence by the Department of Natural Resources in the request, and final approval by the engineer. The approval will include all conditions to the request as mutually agreed upon by WisDOT and DNR.

Fish Spawning Area 12

There shall be no instream disturbance of Nine Springs Creek near Station 640+25 EB as a result of construction activity under or for this contract, from March 1 to June 15, both dates inclusive, in order to avoid adverse impacts upon the spawning of fish.

Any change to this limitation will require submitting a written request by the contractor to the engineer, subsequent review and concurrence by the Department of Natural Resources in the request, and final approval by the engineer. The approval will include all conditions to the request as mutually agreed upon by WisDOT and DNR.

Protection of Endangered Bats Federally protected bats have the potential to inhabit the project limits because they roost in trees, bridges, culverts, and other structures. Roosts may not have been observed on this project, but conditions to support the species exist. The species and all active roosts are protected by the federal Endangered Species Act. If an individual bat or active roost is encountered during construction operations, stop work, and notify the engineer and the WisDOT Regional Environmental Coordinator

(REC).

Ensure all operators, employees, and subcontractors working in areas of known or presumed bat habitat are aware of environmental commitments and avoidance and minimization measures (AMMs) to protect both bats and their habitat.

Direct temporary lighting, if used, away from wooded areas during the bat active season April 15 to October 31, both dates inclusive.

Tree Clearing/Trimming:

To avoid adverse impacts upon protected bats, do not perform tree clearing/trimming between April 15 and October 31, both dates inclusive. If the required tree clearing/trimming is not completed by April 14, the department will suspend all tree clearing/trimming and associated work directly impacted by clearing/trimming.Tree clearing/trimming is limited to that which is specified in the plans. Contractor means and methods to remove additional trees/branches will not be allowed. If it is determined that additional trees with a 3-inch or greater diameter at breast height (dbh), or branches of any size on those sized trees, need to be removed beyond contractor means and methods, notify the engineer to coordinate with the WisDOT REC to determine if consultation with United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is required. The contractor must be aware that the WisDOT REC and/or USFWS may not permit modifications.

Due to potential for erosion, do not perform grubbing operations at the time of tree clearing unless grading activities will commence in those areas immediately following the tree clearing, or as otherwise approved by the engineer. Provide information for the grubbing and grading activities, including the schedule of operations, in the Erosion Control Implementation Plan (ECIP).

Blanding’s Turtle (Emydoidea blandingii) Area 12

Blanding’s Turtle is a Special Concern species in Wisconsin and has been known to inhabit the project area. Install “J-turns” at all silt fence ends adjacent to waterways to redirect them from the project areas.

6. Traffic.

Submit to engineer for approval a detailed traffic control plan for any changes to the proposed traffic control as shown on the plans. Submit the plan 14 days prior to the preconstruction conference, or if after the preconstruction conference, 14 days prior to the intended use of the revised traffic control. A request does not constitute approval.

If plan details are not provided in the traffic control plan, furnish plans for review by the engineer so that approval, or disapproval, is obtained at least three business days prior to any closure.

5105-16-63 6 of 18

Maintain access to all commercial, private, and field entrances for residents, businesses, and emergency vehicles. If access is to be temporarily closed, notify those affected at least two business days in advance of the closure. Do not restrict or close access to a property without notifying the property owner, resident, or business a minimum of 48 hours in advance.

Conduct operations in such a manner that causes the least interference and inconvenience to the free flow of vehicles and bicyclists on the roadways. This includes the following:

• All construction vehicles and equipment entering or leaving live traffic lanes shall yield to through traffic and bicyclists.

• Equip all vehicles and equipment entering or leaving the live traffic lanes with a hazard identification beam (flashing yellow signal) capable of being visible on a sunny day when viewed without the sun directly on or behind the device from a distance of 1000 feet. Activate the beam when merging into or exiting a live traffic lane.

• Do not deliver or store materials or equipment within open travel lanes or open side roads during any stage of construction. Temporary lane closures and/or halting of traffic within open roadways is not permitted.

Area-Specific Information Area 12

General No full freeway closures are allowed.

Active work zones and lane closures along USH 14 shall be limited to a maximum length of 4 miles at a time. Any lane closure exceeding 4 miles in length must be approved by the engineer.

Only one lane closure in a direction of travel along USH 14 will be allowed at a time.

Equipment, vehicles, and materials are not allowed to remain on the freeway shoulders and ramp shoulders when the contractor is not actively working.

If plan details are not provided in the traffic control plan, furnish plans for review by the engineer so that approval, or disapproval, is obtained at least three business days prior to any closure.

During lane closures, keep drums out of the open lane of traffic. When traffic is reduced to a single lane, drums may be placed in the open lane to shift traffic onto the shoulder only in the immediate vicinity of work with the approval of the engineer. Restore drums immediately after completing work in that area.

Material and equipment delivery is only permitted within lane closures.

Do not use maintenance crossovers to make U-turns unless the inside lanes in both directions are closed and the turn can be made without encroaching into adjacent open lanes. Do not use existing median crossovers for storage of equipment or materials.

Lane / Ramp / Sideroad Closures Allowable lane closure times are shown in the table below.
