(Revised 12-11-14)

INDIANA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

DBE JOINT CHECK REQUEST FORM

Name of DBE Contract Number

Name of Prime Contractor Item Number(s)

Name of Material Supplier

INDOT will closely monitor the use of joint checks. To receive DBE credit for performing a commercially useful function with respect to obtaining materials and supplies, a DBE must “be responsible for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material and installing (where applicable) and paying for the material itself.” Only when a DBE meets all of these requirements should credit be counted for the procurement of the items by the DBE. Please refer to the attached Procedures for Using Joint Checks under the Disadvantaged Business Program for qualifying conditions. If proper procedures are not followed or INDOT determines that the arrangement results in lack of independence for the DBE involved, no credit for the DBE’s participation as it relates to the material cost will be counted toward the contract goal requirement.

I have read and understand the above information and have attached a copy of the Joint Check Agreement relating to this request. I hereby acknowledge that the information provided on this form is true and accurate.

INDIANA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

PROCEDURES FOR USING JOINT CHECKS UNDER THE DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS

ENTERPRISE (DBE) PROGRAM

A joint check is a “two party” check payable to two parties. Typically, a joint check is issued by a prime contractor to a subcontractor and to a material supplier or another third party for items or services to be incorporated into a project.

INDOT understands that prime contractors, subcontractors and suppliers may wish to use joint check arrangements for a variety of legitimate reasons, such as assuring that timely payment will be for the supplier’s items or dealing with situations in which it is difficult for a subcontractor to obtain bonding at a competitive rate. However, INDOT also understands that that the use of joint checks can raise questions about whether it is proper to count DBE credit for the items purchased using the joint check.

When joint checks are utilized, DBE credit toward the contract goal will only be allowed when the DBE is performing a “commercially useful function” in accordance with 49 CFR 26.55(c)(1):

“A DBE performs a commercially useful function when it is responsible for execution of the work of the contract and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To perform a commercially useful function, the DBE must also be responsible, with respect to the materials and supplies used on the contract, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material, and installing (where applicable), and paying for the material itself.”

The following conditions will apply to payments to DBE subcontractors and material vendors using joint checks. INDOT will closely monitor the use of joint checks to ensure that such a practice does not erode the independence of the DBE nor inhibit the DBE’s ability to perform a commercially useful function. Joint checks will not be allowed simply for the convenience of the prime contractor. Failure to follow these conditions may disqualify DBE participation or adversely impact a contractor’s bidding status.

1. Any implementation of a Joint Check Agreement must first be approved by INDOT and requested by the DBE involved using the DBE Joint Check Request Form provided by INDOT;

2. A formalized Joint Check Agreement between the parties involved (including the conditions of the arrangement and expected use of the joint checks) must accompany the DBE Joint Check Request Form;

3. Each party to the Joint Check Agreement must also submit a statement of its history in using joint checks and any related policies with the DBE Joint Check Request Form;

4. Joint checks should be focused on accomplishing the procurement of materials needed for a particular purpose at a particular time (i.e., contract specific).

5. Even with joint checks, the DBE will remain responsible for the other elements of 49 CFR 26.55(c)(1);

6. No requirement by the prime contractor that the DBE is to use a specific supplier nor the prime contractors “negotiated” price;

7. DBE must release the joint check to the material supplier (upon determining that the material supplier or other third party has fulfilled its responsibilities under the contract);

8. DBEs must be more than an extra participant in releasing the check to the material supplier;

9. Prime contractors must make joint checks available to all contract participants, and may not be restrictive to any one participant; and

10. All parties involved in a formalized joint check agreement must provide INDOT (upon request) with any documentation deemed necessary to substantiate compliance.

Storm Water, Erosion, and Sediment Control Inspection Report INDOT (4-2012)

Instructions for the Contractor's representative: Fill out this document completely including filling out the Project Information, Areas Inspected and Parts A, B, C, D, E and F the day of your field investigation and put it on file for the project. Submit the signed document to the INDOT project representative the same day. Always provide pictures to document site conditions observed in your report.

Instructions for INDOT's representative:

� When you receive a completed and signed inspection report as completed by the contractor, visit the site within 24 hours of receipt of the contractor's inspection to verify the contractor's fmdings. If you concur with the contractor's inspection, fill out part F and sign as the INDOT representative. If you don't concur with the contractor's inspection, fill out parts E, F and circle any areas where you believe the inspection misrepresented the site's state of compliance with the intent ofINDOT standards. If possible, provide pictures to document site conditions observed. Upon completion, sign under Part F, put it on file with the project and copy the prime contractor's representative.

� If you are completing this as an evaluation of an INDOT project without regard to the contractor's inspection, fill out all parts of the form including part D, E and sign as the inspector in part F. Always provide pictures to document site conditions observed in your report. Provide a copy to the INDOT PE/PS for the project and the Area Engineer. It is recommended that the inspection report be provided to the contractor immediately for their information (not their concurrence). It is also recommended another INDOT rep. visit the site within 24 hours to verify the inspection for their records and sign concurrence or non-concunence in Part F.

Additional Explanation:

• Part A - Only put BMPs in Part A that were deemed to be in need of maintenance or alteration. Do not provide a list of every BMP inspected on the project. The intent is to document only those which were deemed in need of maintenance or alteration in order to continue to meet the intent of the measure at the location.

• Part B - Only put additional BMPs not yet installed on the project site in Part B. These can be BMPs intended for a different construction phase of the project or BMPs planned for other areas of the project that make sense to be deployed at additional locations. This is also where recommendations of measures would occur that identify new BMPs not in the contract documents.

• Part C - This is a list of known bare/exposed areas of the project and the justification why they are remaining bare or exposed during the review period despite a lack of construction activities. This especially includes any areas that are or are planned to be exposed for greater than 7 days without immediate plans to stabilize.

• Part D - Checking that the project is not in compliance with the intent ofINDOT standards indicates that despite the additional maintenance measures and BMPs, the project's oversight is failing to ensure that sediment is prevented from leaving the project site or has the potential to leave the project site.

• Part E - List principles of storm water or erosion and sediment control that appear to be lacking on the proj ect which demonstrate the lack of oversight of the proj ect by qualified personnel.

• Part F - The "I certify" signature of the inspector is important in order to document whose opinion is being provided by the filling out of this form.

In the execution of this contract, the contractor agrees to comply with the following minimum specific requirement activities of EEO:

a. The contractor will work with the contracting agency and the Federal Government to ensure that it has made every good faith effort to provide equal opportunity with respect to all of its terms and conditions of employment and in their review of activities under the contract. 23 CFR 230.409(g)(4) & (5).

b. The contractor will accept as its operating policy the following statement:

"It is the policy of this Company to assure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, color, national origin, age or disability. Such action shall include: employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship, pre-apprenticeship, and/or on-the-job training."

2. EEO Officer: The contractor will designate and make known to the contracting officers an EEO Officer who will have the responsibility for and must be capable of effectively administering and promoting an active EEO program and who must be assigned adequate authority and responsibility to do so.

3. Dissemination of Policy: All members of the contractor's staff who are authorized to hire, supervise, promote, and discharge employees, or who recommend such action or are substantially involved in such action, will be made fully cognizant of and will implement the contractor's EEO policy and contractual responsibilities to provide EEO in each grade and classification of employment. To ensure that the above agreement will be met, the following actions will be taken as a minimum:

a. Periodic meetings of supervisory and personnel office employees will be conducted before the start of work and then not less often than once every six months, at which time the contractor's EEO policy and its implementation will be reviewed and explained. The meetings will be conducted by the EEO Officer or other knowledgeable company official.

b. All new supervisory or personnel office employees will be given a thorough indoctrination by the EEO Officer, covering all major aspects of the contractor's EEO obligations within thirty days following their reporting for duty with the contractor.

c. All personnel who are engaged in direct recruitment for the project will be instructed by the EEO Officer in the contractor's procedures for locating and hiring minorities and women.

d. Notices and posters setting forth the contractor's EEO policy will be placed in areas readily accessible to employees, applicants for employment and potential employees.

e. The contractor's EEO policy and the procedures to implement such policy will be brought to the attention of employees by means of meetings, employee handbooks, or other appropriate means.

III 4

4. Recruitment: When advertising for employees, the contractor will include in all advertisements for employees the notation: "An Equal Opportunity Employer." All such advertisements will be placed in publications having a large circulation among minorities and women in the area from which the project work force would normally be derived.

a. The contractor will, unless precluded by a valid bargaining agreement, conduct systematic and direct recruitment through public and private employee referral sources likely to yield qualified minorities and women. To meet this requirement, the contractor will identify sources of potential minority group employees and establish with such identified sources procedures whereby minority and women applicants may be referred to the contractor for employment consideration.

b. In the event the contractor has a valid bargaining agreement providing for exclusive hiring hall referrals, the contractor is expected to observe the provisions of that agreement to the extent that the system meets the contractor's compliance with EEO contract provisions. Where implementation of such an agreement has the effect of discriminating against minorities or women, or obligates the contractor to do the same, such implementation violates Federal nondiscrimination provisions.

c. The contractor will encourage its present employees to refer minorities and women as applicants for employment. Information and procedures with regard to referring such applicants will be discussed with employees.

5. Personnel Actions: Wages, working conditions, and employee benefits shall be established and administered, and personnel actions of every type, including hiring, upgrading, promotion, transfer, demotion, layoff, and termination, shall be taken without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age or disability. The following procedures shall be followed:

a. The contractor will conduct periodic inspections of project sites to ensure that working conditions and employee facilities do not indicate discriminatory treatment of project site personnel.

b. The contractor will periodically evaluate the spread of wages paid within each classification to determine any evidence of discriminatory wage practices.

c. The contractor will periodically review selected personnel actions in depth to determine whether there is evidence of discrimination. Where evidence is found, the contractor will promptly take corrective action. If the review indicates that the discrimination may extend beyond the actions reviewed, such corrective action shall include all affected persons.

d. The contractor will promptly investigate all complaints of alleged discrimination made to the contractor in connection with its obligations under this contract, will attempt to resolve such complaints, and will take appropriate corrective action within a reasonable time. If the investigation indicates that the discrimination may affect persons other than the complainant, such corrective action shall include such other persons. Upon completion of each investigation, the contractor will inform every complainant of all of their avenues of appeal.

6. Training and Promotion:

a. The contractor will assist in locating, qualifying, and increasing the skills of minorities and women who are applicants for employment or current employees. Such efforts should be aimed at developing full journey level status employees in the type of trade or job classification involved.

b. Consistent with the contractor's work force requirements and as permissible under Federal and State regulations, the contractor shall make full use of training programs (i.e., apprenticeship and on-the-job training programs for the geographical area of contract performance). In the event a special provision for training is provided under this contract, this subparagraph will be superseded as indicated in the special provision. The contracting agency may reserve training positions for persons who receive welfare assistance in accordance with 23 U.S.C. 140(a).

III 5

c. The contractor will advise employees and applicants for employment of available training programs and entrance requirements for each.

d. The contractor will periodically review the training and promotion potential of employees who are minorities and women and will encourage eligible employees to apply for such training and promotion.

7. Unions: If the contractor relies in whole or in part upon unions as a source of employees, the contractor will use good faith efforts to obtain the cooperation of such unions to increase opportunities for minorities and women. 23 CFR 230.409. Actions by the contractor, either directly or through a contractor's association acting as agent, will include the procedures set forth below:

a. The contractor will use good faith efforts to develop, in cooperation with the unions, joint training programs aimed toward qualifying more minorities and women for membership in the unions and increasing the skills of minorities and women so that they may qualify for higher paying employment.

b. The contractor will use good faith efforts to incorporate an EEO clause into each union agreement to the end that such union will be contractually bound to refer applicants without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, or disability.

c. The contractor is to obtain information as to the referral practices and policies of the labor union except that to the extent such information is within the exclusive possession of the labor union and such labor union refuses to furnish such information to the contractor, the contractor shall so certify to the contracting agency and shall set forth what efforts have been made to obtain such information.

d. In the event the union is unable to provide the contractor with a reasonable flow of referrals within the time limit set forth in the collective bargaining agreement, the contractor will, through independent recruitment efforts, fill the employment vacancies without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, or disability; making full efforts to obtain qualified and/or qualifiable minorities and women. The failure of a union to provide sufficient referrals (even though it is obligated to provide exclusive referrals under the terms of a collective bargaining agreement) does not relieve the contractor from the requirements of this paragraph. In the event the union referral practice prevents the contractor from meeting the obligations pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and these special provisions, such contractor shall immediately notify the contracting agency.

8. Reasonable Accommodation for Applicants / Employees with Disabilities: The contractor must be familiar with the requirements for and comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and all rules and regulations established thereunder. Employers must provide reasonable accommodation in all employment activities unless to do so would cause an undue hardship.

9. Selection of Subcontractors, Procurement of Materials and Leasing of Equipment: The contractor shall not discriminate on the grounds of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, or disability in the selection and retention of subcontractors, including procurement of materials and leases of equipment. The contractor shall take all necessary and reasonable steps to ensure nondiscrimination in the administration of this contract.

a. The contractor shall notify all potential subcontractors, suppliers, and lessors of their EEO obligations under this contract.

b. The contractor will use good faith efforts to ensure subcontractor compliance with their EEO obligations.

10. Assurances Required:

a. The requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 and the State DOT’s FHWA-approved Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program are incorporated by reference.

b. The contractor, subrecipient or subcontractor shall not discriminate on…
