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.

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.

Existing MMSD facilities are located within the project area and will require 24-hour access for maintenance and emergency response. Refer to the Notice to Contractor – Coordination of Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) Facilities Article for additional information regarding utility restrictions.

Enhanced Final Liquidated Damages Replace standard spec 108.11 paragraph (3) as follows:

The department will assess $10,000 in daily liquidated damages. These liquidated damages reflect the cost of engineering, supervision, and a portion of road user costs.

Anticipated Schedule Project 1060-27-76 The department anticipates that the schedule for each stage shall be as follows:

Conform to the construction staging as shown in the construction staging plans and as described herein unless the engineer approves modifications to the schedule in writing.

Stage 1 Construction:

Off Alignment

Clearing and tree removal

Removals, erosion control, and underground utility construction

Grading and access path construction

Site restoration

Freeway, Ramp, and Local Road Construction

None

Protection of Endangered Bats (Tree Clearing) Federally protected bats have the potential to inhabit the project limits because they roost in trees, bridges and culverts. 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.

To avoid adverse impacts upon protected bats, no tree clearing is allowed between April 15 and October 31, both dates inclusive. If the required tree clearing is not completed by April 14, the department will suspend all tree clearing and associated work directly impacted by clearing.

Tree clearing is limited to that which is specified in the plans. Contractor means and methods to remove additional trees will not be allowed. If it is determined that additional trees with a 3-inch or greater diameter at breast height (dbh) 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.

1060-27-76 5 of 46

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.

Threatened and Endangered Species – Rusty Patched Bumble Bee The Rusty patched bumble bee (Bombus affinis) may be present within the project limits. The project includes disturbing low-quality Rusty patched bumble bee feeding habitat and woodlands potentially suitable for Rusty patched bumble bee nesting or overwintering habitat. To minimize impacts to the Rusty patched bumble bee, trees cleared between November 1 and April 14 will be left in place until the Rusty patched bumble bee active season (April 15 to October 10) to avoid disturbing the overwintering habitat of the Rusty patched bumble bee.

4. Traffic.

Keep all local roads, IH 94, all system ramps and all service ramps open to through traffic at all times for the duration of this project. No lane or road closures are permitted under this contract, unless authorized by the engineer for the purposes of emergency pavement repair.

Maintain access along the Hank Aaron State Trail at all times, unless authorized by the engineer for the purposes of emergency pavement repair.

Do not stage vehicles, equipment, or materials within 10 feet of the existing fence at the existing substation located at the west project limit, the existing billboard, or the existing cell tower site.

Maintain emergency vehicle access at all times.

Work Restrictions Maintain access for We Energies and ATC service vehicles at all times to the existing ATC substation located at the west project limits.

Maintain access for We Energies service vehicles at all times to We Energies facility located at 3200 W Canal Street.

Maintain access to all other We Energies/ATC facilities located within the project area at all times.

Maintain access to the existing billboard located within the project area at all times.

Maintain access to the existing cell tower site located within the project area at all times.

Do not close or restrict traffic on IH 94 mainline or ramps.

Do not close or restrict traffic on 32nd Street or Canal Street.

Do not close or restrict access to the Hank Aaron State Trail. The trail shall remain open and free of construction debris at all times. Cleanup shall be performed in accordance with Special Provision SPV.0075.0206 Pavement Cleanup Project 1060-27-76.

Residential and Business Property Access Maintain access to properties along Canal Street, 32nd Street, and all adjacent side streets, and any other local road affected by construction for local residents, businesses, and emergency vehicles. Maintain and keep open the access to all driveways and parking lots where alternative access is not available at all times by closing one driveway at a time, building half the driveway at a time and/or plating concrete work.

Plating of concrete work, as directed by the engineer, is included in the item that is being plated. In parking lots that are being reconstructed, stage operations so that parking and access is maintained on existing or proposed base aggregate or pavement.

Inform engineer, property owners and tenants at least 48 hours prior to removing a driveway approach that serves that property. Schedule sidewalk and driveway approach removal and replacement so that the time lapse between removal and replacement is minimal.

1060-27-76 6 of 46

Do not close residential approaches or remove from service without giving sufficient notice to the occupants of the premises to remove their vehicles prior to driveway removal or closing of the driveway approach access. If necessary, make other access arrangements, agreed to in writing and signed by the contractor and the property owner serviced by the driveway. Obtain approval from the engineer prior to alternating construction sequencing.

Pedestrian Access Keep pedestrian facilities open unless otherwise shown on the plans or as approved by the engineer.

Maintain pedestrian access to adjacent properties, businesses, schools, and at bus stops or provide where necessary, as directed by the engineer. Protect pedestrians from falling debris at all times when pedestrian facilities are open.

Provide adequate temporary pedestrian facilities as required under Section 644 of the standard specifications and bridging between the curb and right-of-way line over freshly paved concrete or other obstructions in the sidewalk area, as directed by the engineer.

Maintain pedestrian movements crossing the construction zone at all intersections at all times, unless otherwise directed by the engineer. At all times, ADAAG accessible pedestrian walkways shall be maintained free from mud, sand, construction debris, and construction equipment. Closures of sidewalk must be approved by the engineer. At locations where crosswalks exist on both sides of the intersection, closure of one of the two crosswalks is permitted as long as all other crossings are completely open. At intersections where only one crosswalk exists, stage work to maintain a crosswalk at all times.

Traffic Staging Traffic shifts shown in a given stage may occur at different times during that stage depending on the controlling elements for a given traffic movement. The department anticipates that the schedule of major traffic shifts and roadway openings and closings for each stage shall be as follows, unless approved by the engineer:
