Section 107. - LEGAL RELATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITY TO THE PUBLIC

107.01 Laws to be Observed. Add the following:

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act

This procurement action will be conducted as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act) dated February 17, 2009. The funding associated with this project will be subject to unprecedented levels of transparency and accountability to ensure that the American public is aware of how, and where, these tax dollars are spent. Contract reporting will be required to accurately track, monitor and report on these funds. The Recovery Act requires extensive reporting from the prime recipients of this Federal funding. See Subsection 109.08(c) for the required reporting form. Allow access to contractor records by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and Office of Inspector General (OIG).

To the maximum extent practicable, the Contractor shall ensure fixed-price sub-contracts are awarded as a result of this contract, and shall ensure they are awarded through the use of competitive procedures.

The Contractor shall ensure that it provides maximum practicable opportunities for small businesses to compete for subcontracts resulting from this award.

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)

Obtain a separate NPDES permit associated with industrial activity for any mobile asphalt and concrete plants that provide material for the project.

Implement the requirements of the NPDES for erosion control due to storm water runoff during construction as specified under the South Dakota DENR General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activities.

Read, understand, and comply with the requirements of the NPDES General Construction Permit SDR10 for erosion and sediment control due to storm water runoff. The permit is located in at http://denr.sd.gov/des/sw/eforms/ConstructionPermit.pdf and a copy is provided in the appendix of this document.

(a) General. Designate the erosion control/water quality supervisor according to Subsection 157.03 who will be responsible for implementing the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Ensure familiarity with SWPPP procedures and practices. Ensure that emergency procedures and the SWPPP are updated as needed and available for inspection.

(b) Preparation of SWPPP. At least three weeks prior to beginning construction, provide a draft SWPPP for the project, which includes the following information:

(1) Site Description, including a site map(s)

(2) Expected sequencing of operations and construction schedule

(3) Weather monitoring procedure

(4) Descriptions and details of erosion and sediment controls, including dust control

(5) Erosion Control Details and Quantities provided in the project plans

(6) Controls for other potential on-site storm water pollutants

(7) Spill prevention, control, and countermeasures plan (see (e) below)

(8) Applicable specifications and Special Contract Requirements

(9) Maintenance and inspection procedures and forms

(10) Description of potential non-storm water discharges at the site

(11) Copy of NOI form submitted by CFLHD

(12) Blank Notice of Termination (NOT) form

(13) Contractor and Subcontractor Certification forms

(14) Other record keeping forms and procedures

(15) “Good housekeeping” practices and requirements

(16) Total area of the site, and an estimate of the total area of the site expected to be disturbed by excavation, grading, or other activities, including off-site material storage areas and off-site borrow and fill areas

(17) A description of the soil within the disturbed areas

(18) The names of surface waters that may receive discharges from the project site

(19) Copy of the General Permit

(20) Description and schedule of interim and permanent stabilization practices

Modify the erosion and sediment control details, layout sheets, and quantities included in the plans if necessary to address project site conditions and proposed construction operations and include them in the

SWPPP.

To comply with the General Permit, jointly review the draft SWPPP with the CO and agree to any needed revisions. Jointly approve and sign the revised SWPPP. The approved SWPPP will describe and ensure the implementation of practices, which will be used to reduce pollutants in storm water discharges to assure compliance with the terms and conditions of the General Permit. When the SWPPP is approved and signed by the CO and Contractor, it will be the document in force on the project. Implement the SWPPP as required throughout the construction period.

Place the SWPPP and all updates in a three-ring binder so that completed inspection forms and other records may be inserted. Maintain a current copy of the SWPPP, including a copy of the authorization letter received from the DENR, the NOI, and all associated records and forms at the job site throughout the duration of the project. Make the SWPPP available for public inspection and for the inspection and use of the CO.

Maintain all related erosion control elements in proper working order throughout construction. Do not perform clearing and grubbing or earthwork until the SWPPP has been implemented.

Prior to construction, the Contractor and all subcontractors must sign certifications (included in the SWPPP) that they understand the requirements of the General permit. Ensure that all subcontractors comply with the requirements of the General Permit.

At the completion of the project, provide the CO with the SWPPP, including inspection forms. The Contractor is also required to retain a copy for a period of at least three years from the date the site is finally stabilized.

(c) Notice of Intent (NOI). For projects in South Dakota, the NOI has been filed by the CO according to the Construction General Permit and the permit number for this project is SDR10E160.

For questions concerning this permit, contact the SD Department of Environment and Natural Resources at (605) 773-3351 or 1-800-SDSTORM.

Post a copy of the NOI at the construction site bulletin board throughout the duration of the project.

(c) Notice of Intent (NOI). The NOI form may be downloaded at the following address:

An electronic NOI form, eNOI, can be electronically submitted by using the form and information accessed at the following address:

http://cfpub.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/enoi.cfm

The CO and the Contractor will each file a separate NOI. All required information must be provided on the form. At least seven (7) calendar days must elapse after the NOI information is posted on the EPA’s NPDES website, http://cfpub.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/noi/noisearch.cfm, before any construction can begin, including clearing and grubbing. Hard copy NOI’s must be submitted to either one of the following addresses:

For specific details on NOI forms contact the Storm Water Notice of Intent Processing Center at (866) 352-7755.

Post the NOI at the construction site bulletin board throughout the duration of the project.

(d) Erosion Controls. Implement soil erosion controls according to the SWPPP and Section 157.

(e) Controls for Other Pollutants. Implement controls to eliminate the discharge of pollutants (other than erodible soil) into storm water, such as pollutants from materials stored onsite. Include the implementation of spill prevention and material management controls and practices to prevent the release of pollutants into storm water. Include these controls and practices and storage procedures for chemicals, construction materials and other pollution prevention measures in the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures section of the SWPPP. In addition, contact the appropriate federal, state, and local authorities to determine the quantity of discharge that initiates reporting of petroleum products and hazardous material spills to those authorities. List the quantities in the SWPPP for all petroleum products and hazardous material used on the project.

A spill prevention, control and countermeasures plan is required if the volume of fuel or oil in a single container exceeds 600 gallons, or if the total storage volume of petroleum products at any one site exceeds 1,320 gallons.
