City of Eden, NC Instructions To Bidders Epms Mebane Bridge WWTP Residuals Management System Rehabilitation 0021 14-1 WKD Project Number: 20170041.00.CL 3.0 QUALIFICATIONS OF BIDDERS A. To demonstrate qualifications to perform the work, each Bidder must be prepared to submit within five days after Bid opening upon Owner's request, written evidence such as financial data, previous experience, present commitments, and other such data. The Owner reserves the right to reject any Bid if the evidence submitted by, or investigation of, such Bidder fails to satisfy the Owner that such Bidder is properly qualified to carry out the obligations of the Agreement and to complete the work contemplated therein. Each Bid must contain evidence of Bidder's qualification to do business in the state where the Project is located. 4.0 E -VERIFY Effective September 4, 2013, House Bill 786/S.L. 2013-418, passed by the General Assembly of North Carolina, requires that business entities and employers with whom a public entity contracts provide proof of enrollment and participation in E -Verify, an internet based system operated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which may be used to determine the eligibility of new hires to work in the United States. This legislation applies to all state agencies, cities, counties, school boards, as well as all private employers doing business in North Carolina who employ 25 or more employees in the State of North Carolina. This also applies to all city and county contracts, including all formal purchase and construction and repair contracts let by any public entity, as well as those not subject to competitive bidding requirements, such as service contracts. For other units of local government, such as local school boards and water/sewer authorities, the prohibition only applies to purchase and construction/repair contracts in the formal bidding range. HB786 imposes E -Verify requirements on contractors who enter into certain contracts with state agencies and local governments. The legislation specifically prohibits governmental units from entering into certain contracts "unless the contractor and the contractor's subcontractors comply with the requirements of Article 2 of Chapter 64 of the General Statutes." (Article 2 of Chapter 64 establishes North Carolina's E -Verify requirements for private employers). It is important to note that the verification requirement applies to subcontractors as well as contractors. The new laws specifically prohibit governmental units from entering into contracts with contractors who have not (or their subs have not) complied with E -Verify requirements. Although the new statutes don't specify the consequences for entering into a contract in violation of this prohibition, it may be reasonable to assume that the contract would be void. As proof of enrollment and participation in E -Verify, Public Entities in North Carolina require the following: See Document 00 40 00, E -Verify Affidavit of Agreement for North Carolina Any violation of this provision by the Contractor, would provide grounds for a breach of contract claim by the local government. Should the contractor fail to ensure that his or her subcontractors, if any, or subsequently hired subcontractors are non-compliant, would allow for the contract to be voided by the local government. City of Eden, NC Instructions To Bidders Epms Mebane Bridge WWTP Residuals Management System Rehabilitation 0021 14-2 WKD Project Number: 20170041.00.CL The following websites provide further information about participation and enrollment in E -Verify: www.uscis.gov/everfy. 5.0 EXAMINATION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND SITE A.

F. If the equipment manufacturer or supplier fails to furnish all of the preceding information which has been deemed necessary by the Engineer to evaluate a proposed "or equal" equipment item or product for equivalency with the equipment items or products, the proposed "or equal" qualification package will be rejected by the Engineer. If the "or equal" qualification package is rejected by the Engineer, the Bidder shall furnish one of the named equipment items or products without change to the contract price. G. No proposed "or equal" equipment items or products shall be considered unless, in the opinion of the Engineer, it conforms to the Contract Documents in all respects, except for make and manufacturer and minor details. H. The Engineer shall be the sole authority for determining conformance of a proposed "or equal" equipment item or product with the Contract Documents. Under no circumstances shall the Engineer be required to prove that "or equal" equipment items or products are not equal to the named equipment items or products. I. Contractors shall include all costs associated with any redesign required with their bid. Manufacturers qualifying will be recognized by addendum. 12.0 SUBCONTRACTORS, SUPPLIERS, AND OTHERS A.

Such list shall be accompanied by an experience statement with pertinent information regarding similar projects and other evidence of qualification for each such subcontractor, supplier, person or organization if requested by Owner. An Owner or Engineer who after due investigation has reasonable objection to any proposed Subcontractor, supplier, other person or organization, may before the effective date of the Agreement request apparent successful bidder to submit an acceptable substitute without an increase in bid price. If apparent successful bidder declines to make any such substitution, Owner may award the contract to the next lowest Bidder that proposes to use acceptable subcontractors, suppliers and other persons and organizations. The declining to make requested substitutions will not constitute grounds for sacrificing the bid security of any Bidder. Any subcontractor, supplier, other person or organization listed and to whom Owner or Engineer does not make written objection prior to the effective date of the Agreement will be deemed acceptable to Owner and Engineer.

These are: (1) Ensure MBE/WBEs are made aware of contracting opportunities to the fullest extent practicable through outreach and recruitment activities. For Indian Tribal, State and local Government recipients, this will include placing MBE/WBEs on solicitation lists and soliciting them whenever they are potential sources. (2) Make information of forthcoming opportunities available to MBE/WBEs and arrange time for contracts and establish delivery schedules, where requirements permit, in a way that encourages and facilitates participation by DBEs in the competitive process. This includes, whenever possible, posting solicitations for bids or proposals for a minimum of 30 calendar days before the bid or proposal closing date. (3) Consider in the contracting process whether firms competing for large contracts could subcontract with MBE/WBEs. For Indian Tribal, State and local Government recipients, this will include dividing total requirements when economically feasible into smaller tasks or quantities in order to increase opportunities for participation by MBE/WBEs in the competitive process. (4) Encourage contracting with a consortium of MBE/WBEs when a contract is too large for one of these firms to handle individually. (5) Use the services and assistance of the SBA and the MBDA. (6) If the prime contractor awards subcontracts, require the prime contractor to take the steps in subparagraphs (1)-(5) of this section. Compliance with the instructions on page 1 of this compliance supplement constitute compliance with the six good faith efforts. Definition of MBE/WBE firm: An independent business concern, which is at least 51% owned and controlled by minority group member(s)including _Black Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian -Pacific Americans, American Indian or Alaskan Native . The minority ownership's interest must be real, substantial and continuing. EPA MBE/WBE participation goals: MBE 10.9% WBE 10.4% These are goals that the State reports against and are not quotas. The six good faith efforts must be adhered to regardless of what % utilization is achieved.

Delays beyond the control of Contractor shall include, but not be limited to, acts or neglect by Owner, acts or neglect of utility owners or other Contractors performing the Work as contemplated by Article 7.0, fires, floods, epidemics, abnormal weather conditions, or acts of God. 12.4 Delays Within Contractor's Control A. The Contract Times (or Milestones) will not be extended due to delays within the control of Contractor. Delays attributable to and within the control of a Subcontractor or Supplier shall be deemed to be delays within the control of Contractor. 12.5 Delays Beyond Owner's and Contractor's Control A. Where Contractor is prevented from completing any part of the Work within the Contract Times (or Milestones) due to delay beyond the control of both Owner and Contractor, an extension of the Contract Times (or Milestones) in an amount equal to the time lost due to such delay shall be Contractor's sole and exclusive remedy for such delay. 12.6 Delay Damages A. In no event shall Owner or Engineer be liable to Contractor, any Subcontractor, any Supplier, or any other person or organization, or to any surety for or employee or agent of any of them, for damages arising out of or resulting from: Delays caused by or within the control of Contractor; or 2.

Abnormal weather conditions for rain shall be derived from the most recent 20 -year (minimum) average for the nearest NOAA weather reporting station. The mean number of days of precipitation per month of 0.10 inch or more shall establish the mean number of weather days for the period. When the actual number of calendar days the Contractor could not work due to abnormal weather conditions exceeds the monthly mean as determined above, the Contract shall be extended the number of days in excess of the monthly mean for each month during the Contract period. A Working day is a day when the Contractor or his Subcontractors could work for more than four hours. If the actual number of calendar days the Contractor could not work due to abnormal weather conditions is less than the monthly mean, then the number of days the Contract was extended shall be reduced for the Contract period. At the end of the Contract period the total Contract Time will be the total adjusted. Should the total days the Contractor cannot work due to abnormal weather conditions be less than the mean for the Contract period, no time will be deleted from the Contract. The time extension awarded to the Contractor shall be for time only. No increase in Contract Price will be considered.

ARTICLE 14.0 — PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR AND COMPLETION 14.1 Schedule of Values A. The schedule of values established as provided in Article 2.7, Paragraph A. will serve as the basis for progress payments and will be incorporated into a form of a Partial Payment Estimate acceptable to Engineer. Progress payments on account of Unit Price Work will be based on the number of units completed. B. With the schedule of values, the Contractor shall submit for the Engineer's approval, a complete breakdown of all lump sum items in the Bid form. This breakdown, modified where directed by the Engineer, will be used as a basis for preparing partial estimates and establishing progress payments. C.

Partial payment for materials or equipment properly stored on -Site will be made on basis of the invoice cost of materials or equipment, provided a detailed list of the materials for which partial payment is requested and supporting copies of the invoices are attached to each Partial Payment Estimate. The submitted list of stored materials will be on a form furnished in the Contract Documents or on a form agreed upon by Contractor and Engineer. As Work progresses, the value of stored materials will be reduced as materials or equipment are placed in construction. At completion of the Work, the value of stored materials not utilized in the Work must be zero. 4. The following Articles (a. and b.) are for construction Projects in North Carolina only: a. Sales and Use Tax: With each Partial Payment Estimate, Contractor must furnish a certified and notarized statement using Document 00 62 76, State and County Sales/Use Tax Statement, as provided in the Contract Documents or a form agreed upon by Contractor and Engineer setting forth cost of the property purchased from each vendor and amount of sales and/or use tax paid thereon and shall show both current State sales tax and current County tax paid and shall list any payments made directly to the State of North Carolina Department of Revenue.

Upon 50 percent completion, with written consent of the surety, the Owner at its election may cease to retain any further retainage from periodic payments due the Contractor if any non -conforming Work identified in writing prior to that time by the Engineer and/or Owner has been corrected by the Contractor and accepted by the Engineer and/or Owner and the Contractor continues to perform satisfactorily. If, after retainage has ceased, the Owner determines Contractor's performance is unsatisfactory, the Owner may reinstate retainage for each subsequent periodic payment up to the maximum amount of 5 percent. B. Review of Requests for Payment: 1. Engineer will, within 10 days after receipt of each Partial Payment Estimate, either indicate in writing its approval of payment and present the request to Owner or return the request to the Contractor indicating in writing the reasons for refusing to approve payment. In the latter case, Contractor may make the necessary correction and resubmit the request for payment. Within 30 days of receiving the submittal of an approved Partial Payment Estimate, the Owner subject to Article 14.2, Paragraph D, will make partial payment to the Contractor on the basis of a duly certified approved estimate of the Work performed during the specified period by the Contractor. 2. Engineer's recommendation of any payment requested in a Partial Payment Estimate will constitute a representation by Engineer to Owner, based on Engineer's observations on the Site of the executed Work as an experienced and qualified design professional and on Engineer's review of the Partial Payment Estimate and the accompanying data and schedules, that to the best of Engineer's knowledge, information, and belief a. The Work has progressed to the point indicated; b. The quality of the Work is generally in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon Substantial Completion, to the results of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract Documents, to a final determination of quantities and 3. By recommending any such payment, Engineer will not thereby be deemed to have represented that: (i) inspections made to check the quality or the quantity of the Work have been exhausted, extended to every aspect of the Work in progress, or involved detailed inspections of the Work beyond the responsibilities specifically assigned to Engineer in the Contract Documents; or (ii) that there may not be other matters or issues between the parties that might entitle Contractor to be paid additionally by Owner or entitle Owner to withhold payment to Contractor. a. Neither Engineer's review of Contractor's Work for the purposes of recommending payments nor Engineer's recommendation of any payment, including final payment, will impose responsibility on Engineer to supervise, direct, or control the Work or for the means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction, or the safety precautions and programs incident thereto, or for Contractor's failure to comply with Laws and Regulations applicable to Contractor's performance of the Work. Additionally, said review or recommendation will not impose responsibility on Engineer to make any examination to ascertain how or for what purposes Contractor has used the moneys paid on account of the Contract Price, or to determine that title to any of the Work, materials, or equipment has passed to Owner free and clear of any Liens. 4. Engineer may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment if, in Engineer's opinion, it would be incorrect to make the representations to Owner referred to in Article 14.2, Paragraph B.2. Engineer may also refuse to recommend any such payment or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspections or tests, revise or revoke any such payment recommendation previously made, to such extent as may be necessary in Engineer's opinion to protect Owner from loss because: a. The Work is defective, or completed Work has been damaged, requiring correction or replacement; b. The Contract Price has been reduced by Written Amendment or Change Orders; C. Owner has been required to correct defective Work or complete Work in accordance with Article 13.9; or d. Engineer has actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events enumerated in Article 15.2, Paragraph A.

There are other items entitling Owner to a set-off against the amount recommended; or d. Owner has actual knowledge of the occurrence of any events as enumerated in Article 15.2, Paragraph A. 2. If Owner refuses to make payment of the full amount recommended by Engineer, Owner must give Contractor immediate Written Notice (with a copy to Engineer) stating the reasons for such action and promptly pay Contractor any amount remaining after deduction of the amount so withheld. Owner shall promptly pay Contractor the amount so withheld, or any adjustment thereto agreed to by Owner and Contractor, when Contractor corrects to Owner's satisfaction the reasons for such action. 3. If it is subsequently determined that Owner's refusal of payment was not justified, the amount wrongfully withheld shall be treated as an amount due as determined by Article 14.2, Paragraph C. 14.3 Contractor's Warranty of Title A. Contractor warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials, and equipment covered by any Partial Payment Estimate, whether incorporation in the Project or not, will pass to Owner no later than the time of payment free and clear of all Liens. 14.4 Substantial Completion A. Contractor may, in writing to Owner and Engineer, certify that the entire Project is substantially complete and request that Engineer issue a Certificate of Substantial Completion. Within a reasonable time thereafter Owner, Contractor, and Engineer shall make an inspection of the Project to determine the status of completion. If Engineer and Owner do not consider the Project substantially complete, Engineer shall prepare a list of items to be completed or corrected before Substantial Completion, and shall fix the time within which such items shall be completed or corrected, said time to be within the Contract Time. B. Owner shall have the right to exclude Contractor from the Site after the date of Substantial Completion, but Owner shall allow Contractor reasonable access to complete or correct items on the tentative list. 14.5 Partial Utilization A. Prior to Substantial Completion of the Project, Owner may in writing request Contractor to permit use of a specified part of the Project which Owner believes may be used without significant interference with construction of the other parts of the Project. If Contractor agrees, he will certify to Owner and Engineer that said part of the Project is substantially complete and request the Engineer to issue a Certificate of Substantial Completion for that part of the Project. Within a reasonable time thereafter Owner, Contractor, and Engineer shall make an inspection of that part of the Project to determine its status of completion. If Engineer and Owner do not consider that it is substantially complete, Engineer will notify Contractor in writing giving reasons therefore. If Engineer and Owner consider that part of the Project to be substantially complete, Engineer will execute and deliver to Owner and Contractor a certificate to that effect fixing the date of Substantial Completion as to that part of the Project. B. The Contractor is specifically advised that payment in full for sections so completed and used by the Owner will NOT be made until the entire Project has been completed. Partial payments for Work completed and the retainage will be handled on the basis of the ENTIRE Contract amount as herein specified. The Contractor shall account for this in its Bid and under no circumstances will occupancy and use of completed sections of the Work by the Owner be considered as grounds for reducing the retainage withheld from the Contractor's partial payments, or for an increase in the Contract Price. 14.6 Final Inspection A. Upon Written Notice from Contractor that the entire Work or an agreed portion thereof is complete, Engineer will promptly make a final inspection with Owner and Contractor and will notify Contractor in writing of all particulars in which this inspection reveals that the Work is incomplete or defective.

If any Subcontractor or Supplier fails to furnish such a release or receipt in full, Contractor may furnish a bond or other collateral satisfactory to Owner to indemnify Owner against any lien. B. Review of Payment Request and Acceptance: If, on the basis of Engineer's observation of the Work during construction and final inspection and Engineer's review of the final Partial Payment Estimate and accompanying documentation as required by the Contract Documents, Engineer is satisfied that the Work has been completed and Contractor's other obligations under the Contract Documents have been fulfilled, Engineer will, within ten days after receipt of the final Partial Payment Estimate, indicate in writing Engineer's recommendation of payment and present the Partial Payment Estimate to Owner for payment. At the same time Engineer will also give Written Notice to Owner and Contractor that the Work is acceptable subject to the provisions of Article 14.9.

Payment Becomes Due: On all public construction contracts, the balance due a Contractor shall be paid in full within 45 days after any respective Contract for the Project has been accepted by the Owner, certified by the Engineer to be completed in accordance with terms of the plans and Specifications, or occupied by the Owner and used for the purpose for which the Project was constructed, whichever occurs first. However, when the Engineer in charge of the Project determines that a delay in completion of the Project in accordance with terms of the plans and Specifications is the fault of the Contractor, the Project may be occupied and used for the purposes for which it was constructed without payment of any interest on amounts withheld past the 45 -day limit. 14.8 Final Completion Delayed A. If, through no fault of Contractor, final completion of the Work is significantly delayed, and if Engineer so confirms, Owner shall, upon receipt of Contractor's final Partial Payment Estimate and recommendation of Engineer, and without terminating the Agreement, make payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted. If the remaining balance to be held by Owner for Work not fully completed or corrected is less than the retainage stipulated in the Agreement, and if Bonds have been furnished as required in Article 5. 1, the written consent of the surety to the payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully complete and accepted shall be submitted by Contractor to Engineer with the request for such payment.

Termination shall not preclude Owner's exercise of all C. Owner's termination for convenience shall not release or relieve Contractor from its obligations set forth in this Agreement, including without limitation, obligations for Work performed prior to such termination. 15.4 Contractor May Stop Work or Terminate A. If, through no act or fault of Contractor, the Work is suspended for more than 90 consecutive days by Owner or under an order of a court or other public authority, or Engineer fails to act on any Partial Payment Estimate within 30 days after it is submitted, or Owner fails for 30 days to pay Contractor any sum finally determined to be due, then Contractor may, upon seven days Written Notice to Owner and Engineer, and provided Owner or Engineer do not remedy such suspension or failure within that time, terminate the Contract and recover from Owner payment on the same terms as provided in Article 15.3. In lieu of terminating the Contract and without prejudice to any other right remedy, if Engineer has failed to act on a Partial Payment Estimate within 30 days after it is submitted, or Owner has failed for 30 days to pay Contractor any sum finally determined to be due, Contractor may, seven days after Written Notice to Owner and Engineer, stop the Work until payment is made of all such amounts due Contractor, including interest thereon. The provisions of this Article 15.4 are not intended to preclude Contractor from making a Claim under Article 10.5 for an adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Times or otherwise for expenses or damage directly attributable to Contractor's stopping the Work as permitted by this Article.

City of Eden, NC Mebane Bridge WWTP Residuals Management System Rehabilitation WKD Project Number: 20170041.00.CL THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK ATTACHMENT 1 DBE (MBE/WBE) REQUIREMENTS DBE documentation must be submitted to the North Carolina Infrastructure Finance Section. See the specific Minority and Women Business Enterprise Requirements at the end of Attachment 1. Failure to submit the EEO documentation may subject the contractor to sanctions under Executive Order 11246. It is a federal requirement that recipients of a federal loan for wastewater facilities award a fair share of sub -agreements to small, minority and women's businesses. Fair Share is a reasonable amount of funds commensurate with the total project funding, demographic factors and the availability of minority and women's businesses. A fair share does not constitute an absolute goal, but a commitment on the part of the recipient to attempt to use minority and women's businesses by carrying out the six affirmative steps below. The recipient must document the actions taken to comply with the affirmative steps. If the recipient has a law, ordinance, or executive order, which establishes a goal for minority and/or women's businesses that is higher than the State goals, the recipient may use that goal as the "fair share" objective for the project. The goals for North Carolina are 10.9% MBE and 10.4% WBE. The affirmative steps to be followed by recipients are: 1. Including qualified small and minority and women's business on solicitation lists. 2. Assuring that small and minority and women's businesses are solicited whenever they are potential sources. 3. Dividing total requirements, when economically feasible, into small tasks or quantities to permit maximum participation of small and minority and women's business. 4. Establishing delivery schedules, where the requirements of the work permit, which will encourage participation 6y small and minority and women's businesses. 5. Using the services and assistance of the U.S. Small Business Administration and the Office of Minority business Enterprise of the U.S. Department of Commerce. 6. Requiring each party to a sub -agreement to take the affirmative steps outlined in items 1— 5 of this section. City of Eden, NC Mebane Bridge WWTP Residuals Management System Rehabilitation WKD Project Number: 20170041.00.CL Examples of documentation that are acceptable for demonstrating the Bidder's good faith efforts to meet the goals set forth in these provisions include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following: • Copies of solicitations for quotes to at least three (3) minority business firms from the source list provided by the State for each subcontract to be let under this contract (if 3 or more firms are shown on the source list). Each solicitation shall contain a specific description of the work to be subcontracted, location where bid documents can be reviewed, representative of the Prime Bidder to contact, and location, date and time when quotes must be received. • Copies of quotes or responses received from each firm responding to the solicitation. • A telephone log of follow-up calls to each firm sent a solicitation. • For subcontracts where a minority business firm is not considered the lowest responsible sub - bidder, copies of quotes received from all firms submitting quotes for that particular subcontract. • Documentation of any contacts or correspondence to minority business, community, or contractor organizations in an attempt to meet the goal. • Copy of pre-bid roster. • Letter documenting efforts to provide assistance in obtaining required bonding or insurance for minority business. • Letter detailing reasons for rejection of minority business due to lack of qualification. • Letter documenting proposed assistance offered to minority business in need of equipment, loan capital, lines of credit, or joint pay agreements to secure loans, supplies, or letter of credit, including waiving credit that is ordinarily required. Definitions 1. Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) is a business concern which is: a. Certified as socially and economically disadvantaged by the Small Business Administration. (1) Socially disadvantaged individuals means such persons which are socially disadvantaged because of their identification as members of certain groups that have suffered the effects of discriminatory practices or similar invidious circumstances. (2) Economically disadvantaged individuals means socially disadvantaged individuals whose ability to compete in the free enterprise system is impaired due to diminished opportunities to obtain capital and credit as compared to others in the same line of business who are not socially disadvantaged. Individuals who certify that they are members of named groups (Black Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Asian -Pacific Americans, Asian -Indian Americans), are to be considered socially and economically disadvantaged. b. Certified as a minority business enterprise by a State or federal agency, or c. An independent business concern, which is at least 51% owned and controlled by minority group member(s). (1) A minority group member is an individual who is a citizen of the United States and one of the following: City of Eden, NC Mebane Bridge WWTP Residuals Management System Rehabilitation WKD Project Number: 20170041.00.CL (a) Black American: (b) Hispanic Americans (with origins from Puerto Rico, Mexico, Cuba, South or Central America; and (c) Asian -Pacific American (with origins from Japan, China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Korea, Samoa, Guam, the U. S. Trust Territories of the Pacific, Northern Marianas, Laos, Cambodia, Taiwan or the Indian subcontinent. (d) American Indian or Alaskan Native (all persons having origins in any of the original peoples of North America and maintaining identifiable tribal affiliations through membership and participation or community identification). (2) In order to satisfy this third criteria of the MBE definition, the minority ownership's interest must be real, substantial and continuing. Such interest is characterized by: (a) Risk of loss/share of profit commensurate with the proportional ownership; and (b) Receipt of the customary incidents of ownership, such as salary and/or intangible benefits. (3) A minority owner must have and exercise control of the business decisions. Characteristics of control include, but are not limited to: (a) Authority to sign bids and contracts; (b) Decisions in price negotiations; (c) Incurring liabilities for the firm; (d) Final staffing decisions; (e) Policy-making; and (f) General company management decisions. d. Only those firms performing a useful business function according to custom and practice in the industry are qualified as MBEs. Acting merely as a passive conduit of funds to some other firm where such activity is unnecessary to accomplish the project does not constitute a "useful business function according to custom and practice in the industry." The purpose of this approach is to discourage the use of MBE "fronts" and limit the creation of an artificial supplier and broker marketplace. 2. Small Business Concern: Means a concern, including the affiliates, that is independently owned and operated, not dominant in the field of operation in which it is bidding on government contracts, and qualified as a small business under the criteria and size standards set forth in 13 CFR 121. a. Concern: Means any business entity located inside the United States that is organized for profit (even if it is owned by a nonprofit entity), pays U. S. taxes, and/or uses American products, materials, and/or labor, etc. A "concern" may be an individual, a partnership, a corporation, a joint venture, an association, or a cooperative. City of Eden, NC Mebane Bridge WWTP Residuals Management System Rehabilitation W KD Project Number: 20170041.00.CL b. Non dominant in the field of operation means not exercising a controlling or major influence in an industry. A controlling or major influence can be derived from factors such as business volume, number of employees, financial resources, competitiveness, ownership or control of materials, processes, patent license agreements, facilities, sales territory, and nature of business activity. C. Affiliates. Business concerns are affiliates of each other, if directly or indirectly: (1) Either one controls or has the power to control the other; or (2) Another concern controls or has the power to control both. In determining whether affiliation exists, consideration is given to all appropriate factors including common ownership, common management, and contractual relationships; provided that restraints imposed by a franchise agreement are not considered in determining whether the franchisor controls or has the power to control the franchises, if the franchisee has the right to profit from its efforts, commensurate with ownership, and bears the risk of loss or failure. Any business entity may be affiliate, whether or not it is organized for profit or located inside the United States. Annual Receipts: means the gross income (less returns and allowances, sales of fined assets, and inter -affiliate transactions) of a concern (and its domestic and foreign affiliates) from sales of products and services, interest, rents, fees, commissions, and/or from whatever other sources derived for its most recently completed fiscal year (whether on a cash, accrual, completed contracts, percentage of completion, or other acceptable accounting basis). If a concern has been in business less than a year, its annual receipts for the purpose of a size standard will be based on one year's receipts, and shall be computed by dividing its average weekly figure by 52. If a concern has been in business less than three years, its average annual receipts, for the purpose of a size standard, shall be based on three years' receipts; shall be computed by determining its average weekly receipts for the period in which it has been in business, and multiplying such figure by 52. 3. Positive Efforts are documentable attempts to use small business and minority businesses. 4. Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) is a business which is certified as such by a State or federal agency, or which meets the following definition: "A woman's business enterprise is an independent business concern which is at least 51 percent owned by a woman or women, who also control and operate it. Determination of whether a business is at least 51 percent owned by a woman or otherwise qualified WBE which is 51 percent owned by a married woman in a community property State will not be disqualified because her husband has a 50 percent owned by a married man and 49 percent owned by an unmarried woman will not become a qualified WBE by virtue of his wife's 50 percent interest in his share of the business." In order to comply with the MBE requirements of the federal loan projects, the Special Notice to Bidders shall be, as previously noted, included in the specifications for all contracts and/or subcontracts in excess of $10,000.

(ii)(A) The contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics, including helpers, which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. The contracting officer shall approve an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when the following criteria have been met: (1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the wage determination; and (2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and (3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination. (B) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or their representatives, and the contracting officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by the contracting officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, DC 20210. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30 -day period that additional time is necessary. (C) In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification or their representatives, and the contracting officer do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the contracting officer shall refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the contracting officer, to the Administrator for determination. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30 -day period that additional time is necessary. (D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to paragraphs (a)(1)(ii) (B) or (C) of this section, shall be paid to all workers performing work in the classification under this contract from the first day on which work is performed in the classification. (iii) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof. (iv) If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the contractor may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in City of Eden, NC Mebane Bridge WWTP Residuals Management System Rehabilitation WKD Project Number: 20170041.00.CL providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, Provided, That the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the contractor, that the applicable standards of the Davis -Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program. (2) Withholding. The (write in name of Federal Agency or the loan or grant recipient) shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor under this contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally - assisted contract subject to Davis -Bacon prevailing wage requirements, which is held by the same prime contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed by the contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by the contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or working on the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or development of the project), all or part of the wages required by the contract, the (Agency) may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased. (3) Payrolls and basic records. (i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the contractor during the course of the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937, or under the Housing Act of 1949, in the construction or development of the project). Such records shall contain the name, address, and social security number of each such worker, his or her correct classification, hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in section l(b)(2)(B) of the Davis -Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions made and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in section l(b)(2)(B) of the Davis -Bacon Act, the contractor shall maintain records which show that the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits. Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs. (ii)(A) The contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any contract work is performed a copy of all payrolls to the (write in name of appropriate federal agency) if the agency is a party to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the contractor will submit the payrolls to the applicant, sponsor, or owner, as the City of Eden, NC Mebane Bridge WWTP Residuals Management System Rehabilitation WKD Project Number: 20170041.00 CL case may be, for transmission to the (write in name of agency). The payrolls submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i), except that full social security numbers and home addresses shall not be included on weekly transmittals. Instead the payrolls shall only need to include an individually identifying number for each employee (e.g., the last four digits of the employee's social security number). The required weekly payroll information may be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH -347 is available for this purpose from the Wage and Hour Division Web site at ://www.dol.gov/whd/forms/wh347instr.htm or its successor site. The prime contractor is responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors. Contractors and subcontractors shall maintain the full social security number and current address of each covered worker, and shall provide them upon request to the (write in name of appropriate federal agency) if the agency is a party to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the contractor will submit them to the applicant, sponsor, or owner, as the case may be, for transmission to the (write in name of agency), the contractor, or the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor for purposes of an investigation or audit of compliance with prevailing wage requirements. It is not a violation of this section for a prime contractor to require a subcontractor to provide addresses and social security numbers to the prime contractor for its own records, without weekly submission to the sponsoring government agency (or the applicant, sponsor, or owner). (B) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a "Statement of Compliance,'' signed by the contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons employed under the contract and shall certify the following: (1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be provided under Sec. 5.5 (a)(3)(ii) of Regulations, 29 CER part 5, the appropriate information is being maintained under Sec. 5.5 (a)(3)(i) of Regulations, 29 CFR part 5, and that such information is correct and complete; (2) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper, apprentice, and trainee) employed on the contract during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages earned, without rebate, either directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been made either directly or indirectly from the full wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set forth in Regulations, 29 CFR part 3; (3) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the classification of work performed, as specified in the applicable wage determination incorporated into the contract. (C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional Form WH -347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the "Statement of Compliance'' required by paragraph (a)(3)(ii)(B) of this section. (D) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under section 1001 of title 18 and section 231 of title 31 of the United States Code. (iii) The contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph (a)(3)(i) of this section available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of the (write the name of the agency) or the Department of Labor, and shall permit such representatives to interview employees during working hours City of Eden, NC Mebane Bridge WWTP Residuals Management System Rehabilitation WKD Project Number: 20170041.00.CL on the job. If the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make them available, the Federal agency may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to make such records available may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12. (4) Apprentices and trainees --(i) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the contractor's or subcontractor's registered program shall be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the event the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved. (ii) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and City of Eden, NC Mebane Bridge WWTP Residuals Management System Rehabilitation WKD Project Number: 20170041.00.CL Training Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for the trainee's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved. (iii) Equal employment opportunity. The utilization of apprentices, trainees and journeymen under this part shall be in conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246, as amended, and 29 CFR part 30.

Specifications to carry competitive items; substitution of materials. All architects, engineers, designers, or draftsmen, when providing design services, or writing specifications, directly or indirectly, for materials to be used in any city, county or State work, shall specify in their plans the required performance and design characteristics of such materials. However, when it is impossible or impractical to specify the required performance and design characteristics for such materials, then the architect, engineer, designer or draftsman may use a brand name specification so long as they cite three or more examples of items of equal design or equivalent design, which would establish an acceptable range for items of equal or equivalent design. The specifications shall state clearly that the cited examples are used only to denote the quality standard of product desired and that they do not restrict bidders to a specific brand, make, manufacturer or specific name; that they are used only to set forth and convey to bidders the general style, type, character and quality of product desired; and that equivalent products will be acceptable. Where it is impossible to specify performance and design characteristics for such materials and impossible to cite three or more items due to the fact that there are not that many items of similar or equivalent design in competition, then as many items as are available shall be cited. On all city, county or State works, the maximum interchangeability and compatibility of cited items shall be required. The brand of product used on a city, county or State work shall not limit competitive bidding on future works. Specifications may list one or more preferred brands as an alternate to the base bid in limited circumstances. Specifications containing a preferred brand alternate under this section must identify the performance standards that support the preference. Performance standards for the preference must be approved in advance by the owner in an open meeting. Any alternate approved by the owner shall be approved only where (i) the preferred alternate will provide cost savings, maintain or improve the functioning of any process or system affected by the preferred item or items, or both, and (ii) a justification identifying these criteria is made available in writing to the public.

The Contractor shall operate each mixing system at the maximum water surface elevation in the basins for a continuous period of not less than 72 hours. The Contractor shall correct and resolve all operating problems, deficiencies, etc., determined as a result of the tests. D. After the above testing is complete, field mixing performance testing of the installed compressed gas mixing system shall be performed by the Manufacturer as described below. E. Mixing performance testing shall be conducted in the Sludge Holding Tank. F. All personnel and equipment necessary to conduct and supervise all testing shall be provided by the compressed gas mixing system Manufacturer. Engineer/Owner shall be notified of the test to witness at their option and expense. G. The TSS shall be in typical operating ranges of 20,000 — 30,000 mg/L. No flow shall enter or exit the respective basin for two hours prior to and during the test. H. The compressed gas mixing system Manufacturer shall conduct total suspended solids (TSS) testing using a Cerlic TSS probe, or equal, suspended solids analyzer. I. Testing Procedure: 1. In the first mixing test, the compressed gas mixing system shall have been in normal operating mode for at least two days prior to testing and must have TSS in the typical operating range indicated above. 2. Four horizontal -plane sample sites to be tested shall be selected by the Engineer. At each sample site, three vertical samples shall be collected as follows: 24 -inches from the surface, tank sidewall mid -point and 24 -inches above the tank sidewall bottom. Each sample site must be a minimum of 4 ft away from any structure within the tank. The samples for each location shall be analyzed as described above. 3. The Coefficient of Variation (Cv) shall be determined for the sample set, excluding the maximum and minimum samples. The Cv shall be calculated by taking the resultant set of ten (10) samples as follows: Cv = (100 x Standard Deviation of Ten Samples)/(Mean Value of Ten Samples)." 4. If the Cv is less than or equal to 10% then the mixer performance shall be acceptable for that location. 5. If the Cv is greater than 10%, then the mixer performance shall be unacceptable for that location and the Contractor and/or Manufacturer shall make all necessary improvements (at no additional cost to the Owner) and repeat the testing procedure at no additional cost to the Owner until the Cv is less than or equal to 10% for that location.
