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. 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.

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.

Interim Completion and Liquidated Damages – STH 26 [CTH S (Center Street) to CTH DF]: 28 Calendar Days At the beginning of STH 26 contract work, close STH 26 to through traffic between CTH S (Center Street) (Station 861+83) and CTH DF (Station 891+44) for a maximum of 28 calendar days.

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.

Contractor means and methods to remove trees/branches will not be allowed. If it is determined that 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.

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

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

The following Project IDs have less than one acre of land disturbing construction activity and do not require coverage under the TCGP:

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

1390-01-76 0.3

If additional land disturbance is necessitated for the project due to proposed contractor means and methods, including temporary support activity sites, and the additional land disturbance results in a total cumulative land disturbance for the project of one acre or more, TCGP coverage will need to be obtained.

The department will be responsible for obtaining TCGP coverage for the project following department approval of the associated 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.

Contractor necessitated changes resulting in the need for permit coverage will not be cause for schedule delays or other damages.

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 the following:

• Must meet the TCGP applicability criteria.

• Must be for the exclusive use of a WisDOT project.

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

If TCGP coverage is deemed necessary and obtained for the project, conform to all permit requirements and post the “Certificate of Permit Coverage” in a conspicuous place at the construction site.

Permit coverage, if necessary, will be under 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

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

10. Environmental Protection, Dewatering.

Add the following to standard spec 107.18:

If dewatering is required, treat the water to remove suspended sediments by filtration, settlement or other appropriate best management practice prior to discharge. Submit the proposed means and methods of dewatering for each required location for approval as part of the Erosion Control Implementation Plan (ECIP). Include details of how the intake will be managed to not cause an increase in the background level turbidity prior to treatment and any additional measures necessary to prevent sediments from reaching the project limits or wetlands and waterways.

Guidance on Dewatering can be found on the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources website located in the Storm Water Construction Technical Standards, Dewatering Code #1061. This document can be found at the WisDNR website:

http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/stormwater/standards/const_standards.html

The cost of all work includes furnishing all materials, excavation, maintenance, cleaning, disposal of surplus material and removal of the dewatering system and is incidental to contract work.
