Instructions for Certification

1. By signing and submitting this proposal, the prospective contractor is providing the certification set out below.

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. The prospective contractor agrees by submitting this proposal that, should this contract be entered into, it shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier covered transaction with a person who is debarred, suspended, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this covered transaction, unless authorized by the department entering into this transaction.

A contractor may decide the method and frequency by which it determines the eligibility of its principals. Each contractor may, but is not required to, check the Disapproval List (telephone # 608/266/1631).

The knowledge and information of a contractor is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.

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.

Perform the work as the plans show and execute the work as specified in the State of Wisconsin, Department of Transportation, Standard Specifications for Highway and Structure Construction, 2025 Edition, as published by the department, and these special provisions.

If all or a portion of the plans and special provisions are developed in the SI metric system and the schedule of prices is developed in the US standard measure system, the department will pay for the work as bid in the US standard system.

100-005 (20260701)

2. Scope of Work.

The work under this contract consists of excavation common, base aggregate dense, concrete sidewalk, curb ramps, storm sewer, concrete curb & gutter and all incidental items necessary to complete the work as shown on the plans and included in the proposal and contract.

104-005 (20090901)

3. Prosecution and Progress.

Begin work within 10 calendar days after the engineer issues a written notice to do so.

Provide the time frame for construction of the project within the 2027 construction season to the engineer in writing within a month after executing the contract but at least 14 calendar days before the preconstruction conference. Assure that the time frame is consistent with the contract completion time.

Upon approval, the engineer will issue the notice to proceed within ten calendar days before the beginning of the approved time frame.

To revise the time frame, submit a written request to the engineer at least two weeks before the beginning of the intended time frame. The engineer will approve or deny that request based on the conditions cited in the request and its effect on the department’s scheduled resources.

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, 7995-02-76 3 of 10 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).

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.

4. Traffic.

Close E Hamilton Ave to through traffic and maintain access for local traffic. Access will be maintained to residences and business entrances within the construction limits.

Maintain emergency, residential, businesses and local traffic access at all times within the project.

Maintain access to the Town of Washington Fire Station at Station 12+26 RT at all times.

E Hamilton Ave & Gateway Drive Intersection Maintain access to Gateway Drive north of E Hamilton Avenue at all times.

Place gravel at the same level of the surface layer if left overnight to prevent dips in the travel surface.

Pave any disturbed travel areas between Station 23+25 and the end of the project before the end of the work week

Wisconsin Lane Closure System Advance Notification Prior to starting work, provide closure information to the engineer for incorporation into the Wisconsin Lane Closure System (LCS).

Discuss LCS completion dates and provide changes in the schedule to the engineer at project meetings in order to manage closures nearing their completion date.
