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.

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 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-13-046

Fish Spawning There shall be no instream disturbance of Pheasant Branch Creek at Station 104+99 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 and migration of fish and other aquatic organisms.

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 June 1 and August 15, both dates inclusive. If the required tree clearing/trimming is not completed by May 31, 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

5993-01-77 5 of 52 approved by the engineer. Provide information for the grubbing and grading activities, including the schedule of operations, in the Erosion Control Implementation Plan (ECIP).

Submit a schedule and description of clearing operations with the ECIP 14 days prior to any clearing operations. The department will determine, based on schedule and scope of work, what additional erosion control measures shall be implemented prior to the start of clearing operations, and list those additional measures in the ECIP.

Branch trimming is incidental to other work if no other tree clearing work is necessary.

Charter Communications (Communication) Charter has overhead communication lines that run on the north side of CTH M on MG&E poles located in the existing terrace from the west project limits to the northwest quadrant of the Branch Street intersection with crossings at Station 102+45 EX and at the Branch Street intersection. The overhead communication lines cross CTH M from the northwest to the southeast corner of the Branch Street intersection and continue south on the east side of Branch Street and east on CTH M on MG&E poles located behind the existing sidewalk until the project limits.

Underground communication lines run on both sides of CTH M from Station 102+30 EX to Station 103+60 EX with a crossing at Station 103+60 EX and extend north, perpendicular to the roadway. An underground communication line also runs from the pole in the southeast corner of the CTH M and Branch Street intersection west across Branch Street to provide service to the property in the southwest corner of the intersection.

Prior to construction, Charter plans to relocate their facilities. Overhead utilities will be removed and relocated underground in a new 4-inch duct between the existing MG&E pole at Station 102+50 EB LT and continue east to the proposed joint trench at Station 103+25 EB LT. New 2-inch duct will be buried between a proposed vault located at Station 103+25 EB RT, outside of the proposed sidewalk, and the joint utility trench starting at Station 103+25 EB, 30’ RT. From Station 103+25 EB, 30’ RT, new 4-inch duct will be installed running north perpendicular to the roadway into the City of Middleton trailhead parcel, then continue east under the proposed retaining wall R-13-401, proposed trail and Pheasant Branch Creek into the Pheasant Branch Conservancy. The relocated communication facilities will continue east past the entrance into Pheasant Branch Conservancy before turning south and entering into the project limits perpendicular to CTH M at approximately Station 106+95 EB LT and into the proposed westbound CTH M travel lanes. The communication facilities will then turn east under the westbound travel lanes until Station 107+60 EB where 4-inch duct will continue in 2 directions. One branch will continue east in the joint trench to Station 110+75 EB before crossing under the roadway to connect to overhead facilities on the proposed MG&E pole at Station 110+75 EB RT. The other branch will continue south from Station 107+60 EB to an offset of approximately 36’ RT before turning west and south under the proposed sidewalk to the proposed MG&E pole at Station 11+40 B RT and connect with existing overhead facilities.

A new vault will be installed at 12+60 B RT adjacent to the proposed joint trench and new 2-inch duct will be buried to connect the proposed vault at Station 12+60 B RT and the proposed vault at Station 12+60 B LT.

The existing vault at Station 12+61 B LT will be relocated to Station 12+60 B LT in the proposed sidewalk.

New 2-inch duct will be buried to connect this relocated vault to the proposed vault at Station 105+92 EB RT.

This duct will be buried approximately 9 feet below grade in the area of the proposed storm sewer and signal bases. The existing vault at Station 105+75 EB RT will be relocated to Station 105+92 EB RT in the proposed terrace.

The existing empty 2-inch ducts crossing CTH M at approximately Station 103+50 EB and crossing Branch Street at Station 12+61 B will be discontinued and left-in-place, as well as the empty 2-inch duct between Station 12+61 B LT and Station 105+75 EB RT.

City of Middleton (Sanitary Sewer) City of Middleton underground sewer runs on the south side of CTH M from the west project limits to the east project limits.
