It is hereby certified by the below signed Contractors that there exists a written quote, acceptable to the parties involved preliminary to a binding subcontract agreement stating the details concerning the work to be performed and the price which will be paid for the aforementioned work. This document is not intended to, nor should it be construed to, contain the entire text of the agreement between the contracting parties.

It is further certified that the aforementioned mutually acceptable quote and fully executed subcontract agreement represent the entire agreement between the parties involved and that no conversations, verbal agreements, or other forms of non-written representations shall serve to add to, delete, or modify the terms as stated.

The prime Contractor further represents that the aforementioned mutually acceptable quote and fully executed subcontract agreement shall remain on file for a period of not less than one year following completion of the prime's contract with the Department or for such longer period as provisions of governing Federal or State law or regulations may require. For purposes of this form, the term Prime Contractor shall refer to any Contractor utilizing a SWAM subcontractor, regardless of tier, in which they are claiming SWAM credit toward the contract goal.

Contractors further jointly and severally represent that said binding agreement is for the performance of a "commercially useful function" as that term is employed in 49 C.F.R. Part 26.55 (c), (d).

The Board, or the Commissioner as authorized under § 33.2-209 of the Code of Virginia, will award the Contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder without discrimination on the grounds of race, color, gender, national origin, status as a military family, or other basis prohibited by law, subject to the provisions, if applicable, in § 2.2-4324 of the Code of Virginia.

With such notice the Engineer will specify which routes will be deleted according to the Department’s predetermined listing of priorities.

If after routes are deleted and work proceeds, budgets revisions indicate that the cost of work to be completed by the Contractor will fall below the limits of the budgeted funds, the Department will determine which of the previously deleted routes will be returned to the Schedule to be completed at the contract unit price.

1. Whenever the Contractor receives a net disincentive for rideability on any given lane within a segment of work as delineated in the Contract and the Contractor receives a disincentive for density on any lots within the given lane within a segment of work as delineated in the Contract, no incentives will be applied.

2. Whenever the Contractor receives a net disincentive for rideability on any given lane within a segment of work as delineated in the Contract, the Engineer will determine the density payment incentive per lane, in accordance with the following:

For Incentive-Disincentive- General:

𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐷𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑃𝑎𝑦𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 = 𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝐷𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 (𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑒) × [1 − ( 𝑆𝑢𝑚 𝑜𝑓 0.01 𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑒 𝑟𝑖𝑑𝑒 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ (𝑓𝑡)

3. Whenever the Contractor receives a disincentive for density on any particular lots within any given lane within a segment of work as delineated in the Contract, the lots receiving disincentive shall not be eligible for a rideability bonus. The Engineer will determine the payment incentive per lane by subtracting the lots receiving the disincentive in accordance with the following:

INFORMAL PARTNERING

January 14, 2008c; Reissued July 12, 2016

I. DECLARATION AND DESCRIPTION

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is firmly committed to the formation of a partnering relationship with the Contractor, all subcontractors, suppliers, FHWA representatives;

where appropriate, other federal agencies, local government officials, utilities representatives, law enforcement and public safety officials, consultants, and other stakeholders to effectively and efficiently manage and complete each construction or maintenance contract to the mutual and individual benefits and goals of all parties. Partnering is an approach to fulfilling this commitment where all parties to the contract, as well as individuals and entities associated with or otherwise affected by the contract, willingly agree to dedicate themselves by working together as a team to fulfill and complete the construction or maintenance contract in cost effective ways while preserving the highest standards of safety and quality called for by the Contract combined with the goals of on time/on budget completion. The approach must still allow for the fact that the members of the team share many common interests yet have differing authorities, interests, and objectives that must be accommodated for the project to be viewed as successful by all parties. It is recognized by VDOT that partnering is a relationship in which:

● Trust and open communications are encouraged and expected by all participants

● All parties move quickly to address and resolve issues at the lowest possible level by approaching problems from the perspectives and needs of all involved

● All parties have identified common goals and at the same time respect each other’s individual goals and values

● Partners create an atmosphere conducive to cooperation and teamwork in finding better solutions to potential problems and issues at hand

II. INFORMAL PARTNERING STRUCTURE

It is the business intent of the Department that informal partnering will be required on this project, whereby the spirit and principles of partnering are practiced from onsite field personnel to executive level owners and employees. The VDOT Field Guide to Partnering available on the VDOT website http://www.virginiadot.org/business/resources/partnerfinalallowres.pdf will be the standard reference guide utilized to structure and guide partnering efforts. This guide will be systematically evaluated to incorporate better practices as our partnering efforts evolve. Of particular note is the need for effective and responsive communication between parties to the partnering relationship as emphasized in Section 105.03(d) of the Specifications.

Informal partnering need not require the services of a professional…
