2. The inability of a person to provide the certification required below will not necessarily result in denial of participation in this covered transaction. The prospective contractor shall submit an explanation of why it cannot provide the certification set out below. The certification or explanation will be considered in connection with the department or agency's determination whether to enter into this transaction. However, failure of the prospective contractor to furnish a certification or an explanation shall disqualify such person from participation in this transaction.

3. The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when the department determined to enter into this transaction. 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. The terms "covered transaction," "debarred," "suspended," "ineligible," "lower tier covered transaction," "participant," "person," "primary covered transaction," "principal," "proposal," and "voluntarily excluded," as used in this clause, have the meanings set out in the Definitions and Coverage sections of the rules implementing Executive Order 12549. You may contact the department to which this proposal is being submitted for assistance in obtaining a copy of those regulations.

6.

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.

4. Lane Rental Fee Assessment.

General The contract designates some lane closures to perform the work. The contractor will not incur a Lane Rental Fee Assessment for closing lanes during the allowable lane closure times. The contractor will incur a Lane Rental Fee Assessment for each lane closure outside of the allowable lane closure times. If a lane is obstructed at any time due to contractor operations, it is considered a closure. The purpose of lane rental is to enforce compliance of lane restrictions and discourage unnecessary closures.

The allowable lane closure times are shown in the Traffic article.

Submit the dates of the proposed lane, ramp, and roadway restrictions to the engineer as part of the progress schedule.

Lane Rental Fee Assessment The Lane Rental Fee Assessment incurred for each lane closure on Mineral Point Road, per direction of travel, is as follows:

- $2,175 per lane, per direction of travel, per hour broken into 15-minute increments

The Lane Rental Fee Assessment represents a portion of the cost of the interference and inconvenience to the road users for each closure. All lane, roadway, or ramp closure event increments 15 minutes and less will be assessed as a 15-minute increment.

The engineer, or designated representative, will be the sole authority in determining time period length for the Lane Rental Fee Assessment.

Lane Rental Fee Assessments will not be assessed for closures due to crashes, accidents, or emergencies not initiated by the contractor.

Lane Rental Fee Assessment will not be assessed for lane closures as shown in the plans or described within the interim liquid damages article.

The department will assess Lane Rental Fee Assessment by the dollar under the administrative item Failing to Open Road to Traffic. The total dollar amount of Lane Rental Fee Assessment will be computed by multiplying the Lane Rental Assessment Rate by the number of 15-minute increments of each lane closure event as described above.

Lane Rental Fee Assessment will be in effect from the time of the Notice to Proceed until the department issues final acceptance. If interim completion time or contract time expires before the completion of specified work in the contract, additional liquidated damages will be assessed as specified in standard spec 108.11 or as specified within this contract.

5. Traffic.

Always keep Mineral Point Road open to two lanes of through traffic in each direction for the duration of this project with the exception of the lane closure described in this article and shown in staging plans.

Perform the work under this contract in a manner that will not cause avoidable motorist delay, obstruct or reduce the available traveled way, restrict vehicular access, create unsafe traffic operations, or otherwise impede the movement of motor vehicles beyond the closures, restrictions, and impacts permitted by the plans and special provisions. Materials or equipment may be stored within the right-of-way only at locations meeting the approval of the engineer.

At times it will be necessary to close the second lane of eastbound and/or westbound Mineral Point Road for work such as making utility connections, placing, maintaining and removing traffic control devices including temporary signals, installing permanent signals, paving and to facilitate other construction operations. Perform these closures only during off-peak hours as specified in the Lane Closure section of

5992-10-20 6 of 54 this article. Request approval from the engineer for these second lane closures on Mineral Point Road in writing at least 3 working days in advance of the requested lane closure. Include justification for the lane closure and the anticipated duration of the closure in the request. Do not proceed with the lane closure if the engineer does not approve the request.

Tree Lane and S. High Point Road north of Mineral Point Road will not be allowed to be closed concurrently.

Traffic Control Signs PCMS Install Traffic Control Signs PCMS at the project ends to notify motorists of upcoming construction activities two weeks before the start of construction activities and one week prior to beginning each construction stage or prior to any detour. The engineer may adjust these timeframes.

Coordinate the locations of Traffic Control Signs PCMS with the engineer. Obtain acceptance from the engineer for all messages for all Traffic Control Signs PCMS.

Lane Closures Single lane closures on Mineral Point Road may be permitted during off-peak hours as defined below in this article. During the times when one lane is allowed to be closed, a minimum clear width of 11 feet shall be maintained at all times. Times listed for lane closures include setup and breakdown of any equipment and traffic control devices.

Off-Peak Hours: 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday

Weekend Hours: 7:00 AM Saturday to 7:00 PM Sunday

Request approval from the engineer for all lane closures. Include justification for the lane closure and the anticipated duration in the request. A request does not constitute approval. Terminate single lane closures prior to the end of the Permitted Lane Closure Times. Failure to obtain approval or reopen closed lanes at the required time shall be subject to assessments specified under the Prosecution and Progress article of these special provisions.

Provide arrow boards for use during all single lane closures in accordance to the MUTCD. Arrow boards for single lane closures will be paid for under the item Traffic Control Arrow Boards for each day with a single lane closure where an arrow board is in use.

Flagging operations will be allowed along all local roads, to accommodate the roadway and structure work between one (1) hour after sunrise and one (1) hour before sunset. Use sunset and sunrise information from the nearest National Weather Service office. Delays due to flagging may not exceed 5 minutes in any direction. The engineer will have the ability to suspend work activities in the event any undesirable traffic congestion develops that has the potential to cause lengthy motorist delay or unsafe workings conditions.

Local Access to Project Maintain local traffic access at all times during the construction except as specified in the Prosecution and Progress article of these special provisions. Stage construction activities as required to maintain local traffic access in accordance with the permitted closure and flagging operation times listed in this article of these special provisions.
