About this file

This proposal document pertains to a Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) highway reconstruction project in Janesville involving the reconstruction of US Highway 14 from Interstate 43 to County Trunk Highway K. The project encompasses removal and replacement of concrete pavement with and without subgrade improvement, mill and overlay of asphalt pavement, base aggregate dense, curb and gutter replacement, replacement of storm sewers, improvements to pedestrian and bicycle facilities, permanent signing and marking, and related incidental work. The proposal details extensive utility relocation and coordination requirements involving multiple service providers including Alliant Energy (electricity), Frontier North (telecommunications), Spectrum (cable), Sharon Telephone, Bluebird Fiber, We Energies (gas), and Village of Darien (sanitary sewer and water). Alliant Energy plans to commence utility work in November 2026 and complete it within 6 to 8 weeks, while other utilities have varying start dates between late 2026 and early 2027 with completion timelines ranging from 30 to 75 working days. The project includes specific closure notification requirements, with shoulder closures requiring 16 feet minimum notification and lane closures, ramp closures, and modification of all closure types requiring 3 business days notice.

The document establishes holiday and special event work restrictions prohibiting work on US Highway 14 during Memorial Day (May 28-June 1, 2027), Independence Day (July 2-6, 2027), Labor Day (September 3-7, 2027), Darien Cornfest (September 10-13, 2027), and Thanksgiving (November 24-29, 2027). The proposal specifies detailed utility facility locations and conflict resolutions, including discontinuation of existing overhead and underground lines, installation of new utility infrastructure at precise station locations, and coordination protocols requiring advance notice and confirmation procedures. Support services for utility work are anticipated, with the Village of Darien estimating approximately one day to complete support work at each location where water or sanitary sewer main support is needed. The document provides comprehensive station-by-station designations for utility work along the primary highway corridor and intersecting roads including County Trunk Highway X, Park Street, Market Street, Sharon Street, Bella Vista Street, Winfield Court, Sweet Road, and S&D Town Line Road, ensuring coordinated execution of all utility modifications concurrent with or prior to roadway reconstruction activities.

RESPONSIBILITY MATTERS - PRIMARY COVERED TRANSACTIONS

Instructions for Certification

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.

This option cannot be utilized during September 3-17, 2027 due to the Village of Darien Cornfest preparation, event, and cleanup planned at that time. Use the alternate pedestrian accommodation shown in the plans if construction progress and staging requires temporary pedestrian accommodation in this area at that time. Contact Kevin Day (Village of Darien) prior to locating any temporary pedestrian accommodation on the Public Works property.

Notify the engineer which pedestrian accommodation alternative is planned a minimum of seven calendar days prior to its implementation.
