The commercial general liability insurance policy shall name as an additional insured: "The City of Detroit" and shall state that the Contractor's insurance is primary, as respect to the

PW-7611 NB. 7

City of Detroit as an additional insured, and not excess over any insurance already carried by the City of Detroit.

The commercial general liability insurance shall provide blanket contractual liability insurance for all written contracts or in the alterative, shall contain a specific endorsement worded substantially as follows:

"During the effective period of the policies mentioned herein, it is agreed that this insurance specifically covers liability assumed by the insured under the provisions of CPA No.

_____________ dated entered into by the insured and the City of Detroit".

If the Commercial General Liability policy does not contain the standard ISO (Insurance Services Office) wording of "definition of insured" which reads essentially as follows:

"The insurance afforded applies separately to each insured... except with respect to limits, then, in the alternative, the public liability insurance policy shall contain the following cross liability endorsement:

"It is agreed that the inclusion of more than one (1) insured under this policy shall not affect the rights of any insured as respects any claim, suit or judgment made or brought by or for any other insured or by or for any employee of any other insured.

H. The Contractor shall be responsible for payment of all deductibles contained in any insurance required hereunder. The provisions requiring the Contractor to carry the

PW-7611 NB. 8

“X”- explosion, “C” - collapse, and “U” - underground damage hazards or exposures.

The bidder is cautioned that any information, in whatever form submitted with his bid, which in any way modifies or changes the stipulated Contract Provisions may cause the rejection of the proposal. A bid will become conditional and unacceptable should a bidder include with his proposal, either intentionally or inadvertently, standard brochures, sales agreements, etc., containing contractual provisions differing substantially from those set forth in Contract Documents, unless the bidder definitely and positively indicates that such provisions are not part of his proposal.

26. CHANGES TO STANDARD CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

The following changes are hereby made and supersede standard provisions of the Contract Documents:

A. Standard Instructions to Bidders - Article 16 - "Bond Requirements"

Delete the third paragraph of this article, and substitute therefore the following:

"The surety company or companies shall be listed in the latest issue of U. S. Treasury Form 570 and shall be licensed to do business in the State of Michigan as evidenced by a copy of the 'Certificate of Authority’, issued by the Michigan State Department of Insurance filed with the Director. Should any surety upon the Contract be deemed unsatisfactory at any time to the City, notice will be given to the Contractor to that effect by the City, and the Contractor shall forthwith substitute a new surety or sureties satisfactory to the City and without any additional cost to the City.”

B. General Conditions

1) Whenever Engineer is referred to, this shall be changed to read, "City Engineer, City Engineering Division - DPW".

2) Delete the second paragraph of Article 28 – “SUBCONTRACTS”, and substitute the following:

PW-7611 NB. 11

"The Contractor shall submit, with the Bid, a separate written request to the City Engineering Division - DPW for approval of each Proposed Subcontractor. Each request shall be on the forms provided by the City Engineering Division - DPW and shall give the name and address of the proposed Subcontractor, the portion and the approximate cost of the work to be sublet. Upon request of the City Engineering Division - DPW, the Contractor who is the apparent Low Bidder shall promptly furnish such additional information tending to establish that the Proposed Subcontractor has the necessary facilities, skill, integrity, part experience, and financial resources to perform the work in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Contract.”

“No portion of the work may be sublet without the prior written approval of the City. Subcontracting of contract items may be permitted after a review of the proposed Subcontractor and the scope of work to be sublet has been made by the City Engineering Division - DPW. The Contractor shall submit the necessary Subcontractor approval request forms, insurance certificates, and such other affidavits as may be required by the General Conditions prior to the review by the City Engineering Division - DPW. Approval of any Subcontractor shall not relieve the prime Contractor of any responsibilities, duties, and/or liabilities as defined in other sections of this Contract. The bidder is particularly reminded that the prime Contractor is required to provide a competent superintendent or general foreman at the site of the work at all times work is in progress on the Contract. Such individual shall have full authority to act for the Contractor.”

“The Contractor shall self-perform at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the total contract work, inclusive of all change orders. Self-perform shall be defined as follows: when the Contractor completes the work with its own employees and not a subcontractor. The City may, at its discretion, conduct in-depth personal interviews, request additional references, request background material, including financial statements, staffing information, and certified payroll to verify the work completed by the Contractor.”

“Whenever possible, subcontracts shall be let to Detroit companies.

Subcontractors must agree to do their work in Detroit, and to use Detroit labor where practicable to give the kind of work specified.”

“The Testing Laboratory required to test both the HMA and concrete mixes, in accordance with MDOT HMA & concrete material acceptance provision is considered a Subcontractor.

However, only one request for approval need to be made when the same laboratory will be used on all paving contracts awarded to the bidder. The insurance required to be carried by the laboratory shall be not less than that specified for the Contractor.”

All materials and workmanship shall be in accordance with the 2012

PW-7611 NB. 12

Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Standard Specifications for Construction.

3) Delete Article 36 – “FAIR EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES” in its entirety and substitute the following:

Part 42) issued pursuant to the Title and in accordance with the Michigan Constitution and all state laws and regulations governing fair employment practices and equal employment opportunity, including but not limited to the Michigan Civil Rights Act P.A.
