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.

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 under this construction contract for the following projects:

2703-07-72 C Racine, Lathrop Ave Republic Ave to Washington Ave Local Street Racine County

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 concrete pavement removal, base course, erosion control, sodding, concrete pavement, concrete curb and gutter, concrete driveway and sidewalk, traffic signal, permanent signing, storm sewer lateral, and pavement marking 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 start date to the engineer in writing within a month after executing the contract but at least 14 calendar days before the preconstruction conference. Upon approval, the engineer will issue the notice to proceed within ten calendar days before the approved start date.

To revise the start date, submit a written request to the engineer at least two weeks before the intended start date. 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:

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

2703-07-72 4 of 33 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.

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.

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

Contractor Coordination Attend weekly scheduling meetings to discuss the near term schedule activities, address any long-term schedule issues, and discuss any relevant technical issues. Develop a rolling three-week schedule identifying the previous week worked and a two week “look ahead”. Provide sufficient detail to include actual and planned activities and all the subcontractors for offsite and construction activities, addressing all activities including lane closure schedules to be performed and identifying issues requiring engineering action or input. Subcontractors shall be in attendance at the weekly progress meetings if identifed on the two week "look ahead".

Do not remove residential or commercial driveways from service without sufficient notice given to tenants and/or property owners. Sufficient notice is defined as contacting tenants and/or property owners 48 hours prior to removing a driveway from service. Maintain access to the residential or commercial properties that have only one access by completing work on the approach of driveways that are wider than 20 feet in stages. Maintain access to the residential or commercial properties that have only one access by completing work within 24 hours or as directed by the engineer on the approach of driveways that are narrower than 20 feet.
