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.

8. The contractor may rely upon a certification of a prospective subcontractor/materials supplier that it is not debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows that the certification is erroneous. 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.

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)

3042-01-60 0.583

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: :

16. Installing and Maintaining Bird Deterrent System 219+15, Item 999.2000.S.01;

Installing and Maintaining Bird Deterrent System 234+69, Item 999.2000.S.02.

A Description This special provision describes inspecting, installing and/or maintaining approved deterrents that prevent migratory bird nesting on bridges and culverts. Swallows or other migratory birds’ nests have been observed on or under the existing culvert or bridge at the station identified. All active nests (when eggs or young are present) of migratory birds are protected under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. One deterrent system shall be installed and/or maintained for each applicable structure. Deterrent methods selected shall be appropriate for structure type, size and/or site-specific constraints.

B Materials B.1 Hardware and Lumber Lumber, hardware, and fastening devices shall be durable enough to last through the length of the nesting season. Fastening devices and deterrence system must be approved by the engineer prior to installation on culverts and bridges that will remain in service after removal of deterrent systems. The method of fastening should not compromise the culvert or bridge concrete surfaces or steel protection systems. The attachment locations must be restored and repaired as needed by use of engineer approved fillers, sealers and paint systems.

B.2 Netting Materials Exclusion netting is material either wrapped around or draped and fastened to bridge decks/abutments and culvert corners to prevent bird entry.

Furnish exclusionary netting to deter nesting in bridge decks and abutments and corners of box culverts, consisting of either:

a. 1/2” x 1/2” or 3/4" x 3/4” knotless, flame resistant, U.V. stabilized polyethylene or polypropylene netting with minimum 40-pound breaking strength per strand, or engineer approved equal.

3042-01-60 9 of 12

b. Galvanized wire mesh (hardware cloth) with a wire diameter of .040 inches (19-gauge) and opening width of 1/2-inch.

At a minimum, use either 1” x 2” (nominal) lumber or 3/4” x 2” pressure treated plywood strips and of equal length as the netting.

B.3 Plastic Strip Curtain Plastic strip curtains are strips of plastic attached to vertical surfaces in areas suitable for nesting.

Furnish 3-foot wide lengths of 6 mil minimum plastic sheeting with the lower 2 feet cut into vertical strips 2 inches wide.

At a minimum, use either 1” x 2” (nominal) lumber or 3/4” x 2” pressure treated plywood strips and staples to attach plastic strips to wood to fabricate the strip curtain.

Furnish concrete screws to attach strip curtain to structure.

B.4 Corner Slope Materials Corner slopes are pieces of curved plastic placed in corners suitable for nesting. They are particularly effective in preventing nesting in top corners of box culverts.

Furnish U.V. stabilized pre-fabricated PVC or polycarbonate corner slopes from commercial bird-deterrent manufacturers or an approved equal.

C Construction C.1 General If active nests are observed after construction starts, or if a trapped bird or an active nest is found, stop work that may affect birds or their nests, and notify the engineer to consult with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources transportation liaison Kayla Schmalle, at (608) 206-4805, or the department regional environmental coordinator Sara Atwater at (608) 246-3805.

Efforts should be made to release trapped birds, unharmed.

C.2 Nest Removal Remove unoccupied nests prior to the beginning of the nesting season as designated in Prosecution and Progress. Nest removal involves the removal and disposal of unoccupied or partially constructed nests without eggs or nestlings. Removing all evidence of nesting (e.g. cleaning droppings from structures) eliminates a visual cue for a potential breeding location, especially for first-time breeders. Nest removal is not a type of deterrent and does not prevent nest establishment but can delay the process. As such, it should only be used in conjunction with other methods. It cannot be used on its own to ensure compliance. Nest removal is not required if deterrents are installed before the start of the avoidance window unless nests interfere with successful installation of the deterrent.

Remove nests on the structure by scraping or pressure washing prior to established avoidance windows to deter nesting. Remove only unoccupied or partially constructed nests without eggs or nestlings.

Remove newly built nests every two days before eggs are laid. Nest removal is intended to be used prior to and in conjunction with other nesting deterrents.

C.3 Exclusion Netting C.3.1 Installation Using concrete screws, anchor lumber to bridge or culvert along perimeter of intended netting. Fasten netting to lumber until netting is held taut. Use the minimum length of lumber and netting necessary to avoid sections of netting that are not flush to the bridge or culvert. Eliminate any loose pockets or wrinkles that could trap and entangle birds or other wildlife. Ensure the net is pulled taut in order to prevent flapping in the wind, which results in tangles or breakage at mounting points.

For culverts, attach netting at a 45-degree angle at the culvert corner so it extends at least 12” below the corner.

C.4 Plastic Curtains C.4.1 Installation Attach plastic curtains along the entire length of vertical surface or corner on which nest building is to be deterred. Affix plastic curtain strips to treated lumber with staples spaced a minimum of 1 foot O.C. Wrap plastic curtains around lumber prior to attaching it to the structure to reduce the likelihood of it tearing out
