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.

8. 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)

6040-00-76 0.049

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

B.4.2 Pavement Density Determination

B.4.2.1 Mainline Traffic Lanes and Appurtenances

(1) Calculate the average sublot densities using the individual test results in each sublot.

(2) If all sublot averages are no more than one percent below the target density, calculate the daily lot density by averaging the results of each random QC test taken on that day’s material.

(3) If any sublot average is more than one percent below the target density, do not include the individual test results from that sublot when computing the lot average density and remove that sublot’s tonnage from the daily quantity for incentive.

B.4.2.4 Documentation

(1) Document QC density test data as specified in CMM 815. Provide the engineer with the data for each lot within 24 hours of completing the QC testing for the lot.

B.4.3 Corrective Action

(1) Notify the engineer immediately when an individual test is more than 3.0 percent below the specified minimum in standard spec 460.3.3.1. Investigate and determine the cause of the unacceptable test result.

(2) The engineer may require unacceptable material specified in B.4.3(1) to be removed and replaced with acceptable material or allow the nonconforming material to remain in place with a 50 percent pay reduction. Determine limits of the unacceptable area by measuring density of the layer at 50-foot increments both ahead and behind the point of unacceptable density and at the same offset as the original test site. Continue testing at 50-foot increments until a point of acceptable density is found as specified in standard spec 460.5.2.2(1). Removal and replacement of material may be required if extended testing is in a previously accepted sublot. Testing in a previously accepted sublot will not be used to recalculate a new lot density.

(3) Compute unacceptable pavement area using the product of the longitudinal limits of the unacceptable density and the full sublot width within the traffic lanes or shoulders.

(4) Retesting and acceptance of replaced pavement will be as specified in standard spec 105.3.

(5) Tests indicating density more than 3.0 percent below the specified minimum, and further tests taken to determine the limits of unacceptable area, are excluded from the computations of the sublot and lot densities.

(6) If two consecutive sublot averages within the same paving pass and same target density are more than one percent below the specified target density, notify the engineer and take necessary corrective action.

Document the locations of such sublots and the corrective action that was taken.

B.5 Department Testing

B.5.1 Verification Testing

(1) The department will have a HTCP certified technician, or ACT working under a certified technician, perform verification testing. The department will test randomly at locations independent of the contractor’s QC work. The department will perform verification testing at a minimum frequency of 10 percent of the sublots and a minimum of one sublot per mix design. The sublots selected will be within the active work zone. The contractor will supply the necessary traffic control for the department’s testing activities.

(2) The QV tester will test each selected sublot using the same testing requirements and frequencies as the QC tester.

(3) If the verification sublot average…
