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.

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.

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).

8. Information to Bidders, WPDES Transportation Construction General Permit (TCGP) for Storm Water Discharges.

The following Project IDs have one acre or more of land disturbing construction activity and are required to obtain coverage under the TCGP. The permit requirements are part of the contract:

Project ID Design Calculated Amount of Land Disturbing Construction Activity (acres)

6992-00-76 1.39

This permit is the Wisconsin Pollutant Discharge Elimination System, Transportation Construction General Permit, (WPDES Permit No. WI-S066796-2) and is located at:

https://widnr.widen.net/s/s5mwp2gd7s/finalsignedwisdotcsgp

The department will apply for coverage under the TCGP upon submittal of the complete ECIP from the contractor, and concurrent with the department providing the ECIP to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The DNR will convey permit coverage upon the department’s approval of the ECIP and DNR concurrence that the project has met the requirements for coverage under the TCGP.

Do not begin land disturbing construction activity until the ECIP is approved and the DNR conveys TCGP coverage for the project.

A “Certificate of Permit Coverage” will be provided by the DNR upon conveyance of coverage under the permit. Post the “Certificate of Permit Coverage” in a conspicuous place at the construction site.

Stormwater discharge permit coverage for additional land disturbing construction activities related to contractor means and methods, including temporary support activity sites, will be considered as part of the ECIP review and approval process. Coverage under the TCGP for additional land disturbance areas will be considered if the areas meet all of the following:

• Must meet the TCGP applicability criteria.

• Must be for the exclusive use of WisDOT projects.

• Land disturbance first commences after the ECIP approval, and the areas are fully restored to meet the final stabilization criteria of the TCGP upon completion of the work.

Obtain any permits for areas that are not approved by the department for coverage under the TCGP.

Provide a cabinet of minimum size 44 inches wide, minimum 24 inches deep, and minimum 52 inches to maximum 60 inches high. The size of the cabinet shall provide ample space for housing the controller, all of the associated devices which are to be furnished with the controller, all other auxiliary devices herein specified, and all equipment to be furnished and installed by others as listed in the Description section of this specification.

The cabinet shall comply with the environmental and operating standards outlined in the NEMA TS2 Standard. The cabinet shall provide reasonable vandalism protection. The cabinet shall have a NEMA 3R rating.

Construct the cabinet from type 5052-H32 aluminum with a minimum thickness of 0.125 inches. Prime the inside surface of the cabinet with phosphate treatment and primer. After priming interior surfaces shall be furnished with rust resistant high gloss white enamel. Continuously weld all seams. The surface shall be smooth, free of marks and scratches.

On the top of the cabinet, incorporate a 1-inch slope toward the rear to prevent rain accumulation. Incorporate a rain channel into the design of the main door opening to prevent liquids from entering the enclosure.

Include an exhaust plenum with a vent screen into the roof of the cabinet. Perforations in the vent screen shall not exceed 0.125 inches in diameter.

Equip the lower section of the cabinet door with a louvered air entrance. The air inlet shall be large enough to allow sufficient air flow per the rated fan capacity.

Include on the main door a solid stainless steel rod stop and catch mechanism capable of rigidly holding the door open at approximately 90, 120, and 180 degrees under windy conditions. The operator must be able to engage and disengage the catch with a shoed or booted foot.

The main door hinge shall be a one-piece, continuous piano hinge with a minimum 0.25 inch stainless steel pin running the entire length of the right side of the door (right-handed). Attach the hinge in such a manner that no rivets or bolts are exposed.
