Section H - Special Contract Requirements Clause List

3.1.9-1 ELECTRONIC COMMERCE AND SIGNATURE (JUL 2020)

(a) The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN) establishes a legal equivalence between:

(1) Contracts written on paper and contracts in electronic form;

(2) Pen-and-ink signatures and electronic signatures; and

(3) Other legally-required written records and the same information in electronic form.

(b) With the submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges and accepts the utilization of electronic commerce as part of the requirements of this solicitation and the resultant contract.

(c) Certain documents may need to be provided or maintained in original form, such as large-scale drawings impractical to convert to electronic format or a document with a raised seal signifying authenticity. This clause does not change or affect any other requirements that a document must be in paper format to satisfy legal requirements such as for certain real estate transactions.

(d) The use of electronic signature technology is authorized under this solicitation and the resulting contract.

(e) Contractors must not digitally sign any documents with software that uses the Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA- 1).

H001 STATE REGULATION OF FEDERAL CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

FAA contractors may encounter requests from State and local governments for FAA’s contractors to obtain building permits, zoning approval, sanitation approval, etc. Based on the “Supremacy Clause” set forth in Article 6 of the U.S. Constitution, construction contractors may not be required to obtain permits or approval from State or local governments for work done on federal contracts. However, State and local governments do have enforcement authority for safety and environmental protection as specified in Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability (Superfund) Act (CERCLA), and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).

Contractors who encounter attempts by State and local government entities to assess various types of fees, permits, or approvals are advised to inform the Contracting Officer immediately if the assessing entity attempts in any way to prevent or hinder the contractor at the job site.

H002 APPLICABLE MINIMUM HOURLY WAGE RATES

(a) The wage determination decision of the Secretary of Labor in this contract specifies the minimum hourly rate of wages which must be paid to the laborers and mechanics employed or work at the job site. The rates have been determined by the Secretary of Labor in accordance with the provisions of the Davis Bacon Act, as amended, to be prevailing rates for the corresponding classes of laborers employed on contracts of a similar character in the locality where the work is performed.

(b) While the wage rates given in the decision are the MINIMUM rates required to be paid during the life of the contract, it is the responsibility of offerors to inform themselves as to local labor conditions, such as the prevailing wage rates, the length of the work day and work week, overtime compensation, fringe benefits payments, available labor supply, and prospective changes or adjustments to wage rates. The contractor must abide by and conform to all applicable laws, Executive Orders, and rules, regulations, and orders of the Secretary of Labor. No increase in contract price will be allowed or authorized for the payment of wage rates in excess of those listed in the contract wage determination decision.

(c) The wage determination decision of the Secretary of Labor in this contract is solely for the purpose of setting for the minimum hourly wage rates required to be paid during the life of the contract and is not to be accepted as a guarantee, warranty, or representation of the wage rates indicated.

NOTE: THE DAVIS BACON ACT IS APPLICABLE (SEE CONTRACT CLAUSES). REFERENCE THE

ATTACHED GENERAL WAGE DECISION NO. WA20210011, dated 4/02/2021, FOR THE STATE OF

WASHINGTON (SEE SECTION “J”). THE WAGE DETERMINATION IS HEREBY INCORPORATED INTO

Unnecessary damage is that which you can avoid through efficient and careful performance of the work, taking into account the land rights you have. If you damage any property, you must at once notify the owner or custodian and make or arrange to make prompt and full restitution.

(e) Maps and specifications FAA (we, us) provides may not give the location of all water supply, drainage, irrigation, and other underground facilities. Before entering a tract of land for contract purposes, you must find out from the property owner (or other reasonably available source) the location of any irrigation system, domestic water system, source of water, and drainage system existing on the property, whether serving that property or other property. You must avoid damaging or obstructing these facilities or polluting water supplies.

(f) You must hold us harmless from any and all suits, actions, and claims for damages, including environmental impairment, to property arising from any of your acts or omissions, your subcontractors, or any of your employees or subcontractor employees, in any way related to the work or operations under this contract.

(g) You must indemnify and hold harmless the property owners or parties lawfully in possession against all claims or liabilities asserted by third parties, including all governmental agencies, resulting directly or indirectly from your wrongful or negligent acts or omissions.

(h) Managing and disposing of hazardous wastes and materials may expose the Contractor (you) and FAA (we) to short- and long-term liabilities.

You must use qualified personnel to handle and transport hazardous materials.

(i) Before commencing work, you must:

(1) Do an environmental assessment of the work the contract requires, identifying tasks which involve using, handling or transporting hazardous materials or wastes. The following work items are known to involve such substances: [Contracting Officer (CO) list items here]

(2) Submit an environmental plan identifying and dealing with each specific task involving the wastes. The plan must be specific enough to demonstrate a thorough understanding of the environmental risks and the appropriate method for dealing with them. The plan must also list the required permits and reference the regulations that govern the activities needed to deal with the materials or wastes.

(3) Meet with the CO's representatives during the preconstruction conference to discuss and to develop a mutual understanding on implementing the plan.

(4) The CO may require other tasks to be added to the plan. If the CO considers your planned methods for dealing with the risks insufficient, the CO may require you to revise the plan. Work involving hazardous materials or wastes must not start until we have approved your plan.

II (JUL 2004)

(a) If either the specifications or the drawings (but not both) mention tasks, the Contractor (you) must assume that the tasks are in both. If the drawings and specifications differ, the specifications govern. If there is a discrepancy in the figures, in the drawings, or in the specifications, submit the matter promptly to the Contracting Officer (CO), who will promptly determine which governs, and notify you in writing. Any adjustment you make without the CO's determination is at your own risk and expense. From time to time the CO will provide necessary detailed drawings and other information, unless otherwise provided.

(b) Wherever in the specifications or the drawings FAA (we, our) uses "directed," "required," "ordered," "designated," "prescribed," or similar words, they refer to the CO's requirements. Similarly, "approved," "acceptable," "satisfactory," or similar words refer to the CO's approval, unless otherwise expressly stated. You must have a complete set of plans and specifications on site and available for our use.

(c) Where we use "as shown," "as indicated," "as detailed," or similar words, they refer to the drawings accompanying this contract, unless stated otherwise. The word "provided" means "provided and installed."

(d) Omissions from the drawings and specifications or the erroneous description of details of work which are necessary to carry out the intent of the drawings and specifications, or which are customarily performed, does not relieve you from performing those omitted or erroneously described details of the work. You must perform them as if fully and correctly set forth and described in the drawings and specifications.

(e) You must check all drawings we provide to you before starting work and must promptly notify the CO of any discrepancies. In general you should follow figures marked on drawings, rather than scale measurements. In general, large scale drawings have precedence over small scale drawings. You must compare all drawings and verify the figures before laying out the work. If you do not verify the figures, you will be responsible for any errors you might have avoided had you verified them.

(f) "Shop drawings" means drawings, you or any subcontractor submit to us under a construction contract, showing in detail the proposed fabrication and assembly of structural elements and the installation (that is, form, fit, and attachment details) of materials or equipment. It includes drawings, diagrams, layouts, schematics, descriptive literature, illustrations, schedules, performance and test data, and similar materials you provided to explain in detail specific portions of the work the contract requires.

FAA may duplicate, use, and disclose in any manner and for any purpose shop drawings you deliver under this contract.

(g) If this contract requires material offers (for example, shop drawings, catalog cuts, certificates of conformance), you must coordinate all of your offers, and review them for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with contract requirements. You must provide evidence that you approve the submittals. If you submit materials to us without this evidence, we may return them and ask you to resubmit them. The CO will indicate whether he or she approves or disapproves your offer, and if the CO does not approve it as submitted, will indicate our reasons for rejecting it. Any work done before the CO's approval is at your risk. The CO's approval does not relieve you from responsibility for any errors or omissions in the submittals, nor from responsibility for complying with the contract requirements, except as described under (h).

(h) If you submittals vary from the contract requirements, you must describe the variations in writing, separate from the submittal, when you submit them. Send this description, a copy of the offer, and a proposal to incorporate it into the contract directly to the CO. If the CO approves a variation, the CO must issue an appropriate contract modification, unless the variation is minor or does not involve a change in price or in time of performance.

(i) You must submit to the CO for approval four copies (unless otherwise indicated) of all shop drawings as called for under the various headings of these specifications. The CO will keep three sets (unless otherwise indicated) of all offers and will return one set to you.

(j) You must insert this clause, with appropriate changes in the designation of the parties, in all subcontracts.

(k) When you finish the work under this contract, you must provide two (2) complete sets of all shop drawings as we finally approve them. These drawings must show all changes and revisions made up to the time you finish the work and we accept it.

(3) Meet with the CO's representatives during the preconstruction conference to discuss and to develop a mutual understanding about the content and implementation of the plan.

(4) The CO or her or his representatives may require other hazards to be added to the plan. If the CO determines that your planned hazard avoidance measures are insufficient, the CO or a designated representative may require you to revise the plan. You may not begin work involving identified hazards unless you have submitted adequate plans to the CO and the CO has reviewed them. This approval does not relieve you of your liability for safe performance.

(End of clause)

To remain registered in the SAM database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the SAM database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete.
