Slurry Seal Application
Following satisfactory installation of the steel mesh, the Contractor shall begin spreading the slurry seal mixture
over the steel reinforcement mesh. In order to avoid catching the mesh, the slurry seal machine shall be modified by
widening the skis at the front, and a stiff rubber skirt shall be installed on the auger boxes for control of the dosage.
The slurry seal shall not be placed if either the pavement or the air temperature is below 55°F (13°C) and falling.
The Contractor may apply the slurry seal when both the air and pavement temperatures are 45°F (7°C) or above and
rising. No slurry seal shall be applied when there is a possibility of the finished product freezing within 24 hours of
application. The slurry seal shall not be applied when weather conditions or high relative humidity may prolong the
curing time and prevent opening of the road to traffic in time.
Page 26
When installing the steel mesh directly over the old pavement, the reinforcing mesh shall be fixed to the existing
pavement with a slurry seal layer at a rate of approximately 31 lbs/yd2 (17 kg/m2). In the case of installing the steel
mesh over milled pavement, a rate of approximately 36-40 lbs/yd2 (20-22 kg/m2) shall be required. The Contractor
should note that the pattern of the steel mesh reinforcement should be visible after curing of the emulsions and hardening
of the slurry seal. The complete curing of the slurry seal should take approximately 3-6 hours, depending on the type of
emulsion and weather conditions.
The manufacturer’s recommendations shall be followed as to when to open the road to traffic after placement of the
slurry seal.
After the complete curing of the slurry seal, the asphalt overlay may be applied. Longitudinal and construction
joints in the overlay shall not coincide with the overlaps in the steel mesh.
Measurement.
Steel mesh reinforcement will be measured by the square yard. No separate measurement will be made for
overlapping, clips, slurry seal and preparation of the pavement surface.

A.
General. The fabricator of precast concrete noise barriers is to have a minimum of five years experience with
architectural assemblage of similar products. Perform all precasting operations indoors within a controlled
environment and from a central batch mixer. A plastic or other temporary structure is acceptable provided it is
sturdy enough to endure weather conditions and is able to maintain environmentally controlled conditions.
Deformed Welded Wire Fabric may be used as an alternate to reinforcement steel for precast concrete panels. The
Welded Wire designation and spacing is to meet the minimum area of steel as determined by design. Deformed
welded wire fabric is not be shipped in rolls but shipped in mats. Overlap mesh sheets not less than one mesh in
width or as required by design, whichever is greater. Fasten overlaps at the ends and edges.
B.
Test Posts and Panels. Prior to fabrication, construct and submit to the RE for approval a 24 by 24 by 4-inch
sample panel. Do not fabricate test posts and panels until working drawings have been certified. Construct, at its
plant or, if there is more than one precaster involved with the Project, a location determined by the RE, an
acceptable sample noise barrier wall consisting of five posts and four sections of panels. Erect the four panel
section with a minimum of two panels for each section. These test sections will be used to determine the
acceptability of the various surface treatments, color, and quality of construction of both the roadway and
residential sides of the noise barrier.
Page 39
Notify the RE in writing, at least 14 days before the construction of the sample noise barrier wall so that the
appropriate Department representatives may be present to determine the acceptability of the finished posts and
panels.
C.
Concrete Placement. Assure that all reinforcement steel for cast in place concrete is free of dirt, loose rust, grease,
and other deleterious substances. Place all items that are to be encased in the concrete accurately in the position
shown on the Plans and assure that it is firmly held during the placing and setting of the concrete.
Assure that form liners, where required, do not leak at the joints. Fuse seams must according to the manufacturer’s
recommendations. No unfused seams will be permitted. The placement of seams will be subject to the approval of
the RE. Place seams so that the architectural finish will be unbroken and continuous.
Assure that precast concrete posts and panels are free of honeycombing or voids, are true to size and are within the
following dimension limits:
1.

G.
Storage and Transportation. After curing, store, stack and transport the units in a manner to prevent the
development of cracks or other deformities.
Mark the top side of all precast concrete units for identification and proper placement as per the working drawings.
In addition, indicate the length, size and type of reinforcement on the unit.
613.03.04 Foundations
Construct post holes for noise barriers by augering or as otherwise approved by the RE. Do not initiate excavation of
post holes until final earth grading has been completed along the proposed alignment of the noise barrier for a distance of
at least five panels in each direction. Verify the location of any existing utility conduits. Repair any damage to existing
utility lines.
If borings in the general vicinity of the noise barriers indicate conditions which may impede the advance of augering
equipment, use other suitable equipment and procedures to construct the post holes at the locations and to the depth
specified.
Do not vary the actual location of any post hole from the specified location of the axial center of the post embedded in
that hole by more than 1 inch in any direction. The actual diameter of the hole constructed may be larger, but may not be
more than 1 inch smaller than the nominal diameter indicated on the Plans.
Take all measures and precautions necessary to prevent the collapse of the post hole sides. Where soil surrounding the
post hole is disturbed as a result of the Contractor’s operations, remove all such disturbed soil as directed and replace and
compact it with earth embankment.
Pour the post hole concrete against undisturbed earth or a smooth wall permanent metal casing that is installed in such a
manner that the outside of the permanent casing bears against minimally disturbed earth. A temporary steel casing may
be used to keep the post hole open before placing concrete. Remove all water from all the post holes before foundation
concrete is poured. Assure that the holes are free of all earth, broken rocks, cobbles, boulders, remnants of abandoned
structures, utilities and other debris and materials.
If the permanent metal casing has been installed such that a void exists around the casing or the soil has been excessively
disturbed, apply one of the following methods:
1.
Grout the void. Install the grout at a pressure equal to one-half of the overburden pressure at the bottom of the
casing.
Page 42
2.
3.
Backfill the void with pneumatically applied sand thoroughly tamped into place.
Backfill the void shall with soil excavated from the hole. Backfill in 8 inch loose lifts and compact by the
density control method.
The remedial method will be as specified by the RE and will depend upon the extent of the void or the disturbance.
Use steel or aluminum for permanent casing applications. Galvanize the steel casing.
Set posts plumb in the holes, unless otherwise shown on the plans, and secure them in place in a precise position to
accept the panels. Set the posts into the holes a minimum of 6 inches above a layer of coarse aggregate and encase them
in concrete such that the specified fixed positions of the noise barrier elements are achieved within the following
tolerances:
1.
2.
3.
Do not vary the plan position of the embedded posts by more than ½ inch in any horizontal direction.
Do not vary the vertical position of the embedded posts by more than 1/2 inch from the position shown on the
Plans.
Construct the panel seat area such that the top of the panel is level and within 1/4 inch of the elevation shown
on the Plans.
Assure that foundation concrete does not stain the precast posts. Remove any visible foundation concrete that splashes
onto the posts.
613.03.05 Erection
Precast Concrete Panels and Posts. Erect the panel units before the foundation concrete has reached the specified 28day compressive strength. Erect the units in a manner to prevent excessive bending about either axis. Set the precast
concrete panels with the face of the panel plumb and the top of the panel level. Special care shall be taken in setting the
bottom panel in an exact horizontal position. Assure that the faces of adjacent units are flush within a tolerance of plus or
minus 1/16 inch.
Handle the precast structural members such that no overstressing, crazing, chipping, or cracking of the concrete occurs.
Do not patch damaged panels. Replaced them with new panels. After the precast panels are erected, fill all lifting hook
holes with grout. Stain the grout to match the color of the panels.
Assure that the precast concrete noise barriers do not permit the passage of light after they are erected.
If recessed handling inserts are used, galvanize them according to ASTM A153.

I
GENERAL
1. These contract provisions shall apply to all work performed on the contract by the contractor's own
organization and with the assistance of workers under the contractor's immediate superintendence
and to all work performed on the contract by piecework, station work, or by subcontract.
2. Except as otherwise provided for in each section, the contractor shall insert in each subcontract all
of the stipulations contained in these Required Contract Provisions, and further require their
inclusion in any lower tier subcontract or purchase order that may in turn be made. The Required
Contract Provisions shall not be incorporated by reference in any case. The prime contractor shall
be responsible for compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with these Required
Contract Provisions.
3. A breach of any of the stipulations contained in these Required Contract Provisions shall be
sufficient grounds for termination of the contract.
4. A breach of the following clauses of the Required Contract Provisions may also be grounds for
debarment as provided in 29 CFR 5.12:
Section I, paragraph 2;
Section IV, paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7;
Section V, paragraphs 1 and 2a through 2g.
5. Disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions of Section IV (except paragraph 5) and
Section V of these Required Contract Provisions shall not be subject to the general disputes clause
of this contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the U.S.
Department of Labor (DOL) as set forth in 29 CFR 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the meaning of this
FHWA-1273
Page 1 of 16
January 2007
clause include disputes between the contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and the contracting
agency, the DOL, or the contractor's employees or their representatives.
6.
Selection of Labor: During the performance of this contract, the contractor shall not:
a. discriminate against labor from any other State, possession, or territory of the United States
(except for employment preference for Appalachian contracts, when applicable, as specified in
Attachment A), or
b. employ convict labor for any purpose within the limits of the project unless it is labor performed
by convicts who are on parole, supervised release, or probation.
II.
NONDISCRIMINATION
(Applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts and to all related subcontracts of $10,000 or more.)
1.
Equal Employment Opportunity: Equal employment opportunity (EEO) requirements not to
discriminate and to take affirmative action to assure equal opportunity as set forth under laws, executive
orders, rules, regulations (28 CFR 35, 29 CFR 1630 and 41 CFR 60) and orders of the Secretary of
Labor as modified by the provisions prescribed herein, and imposed pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 140 shall
constitute the EEO and specific affirmative action standards for the contractor's project activities under
this contract. The Equal Opportunity Construction Contract Specifications set forth under 41 CFR 604.3 and the provisions of the American Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.) set forth under
28 CFR 35 and 29 CFR 1630 are incorporated by reference in this contract. 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 State highway agency (SHA) and the Federal Government in
carrying out EEO obligations and in their review of his/her activities under the contract.
b. The contractor will accept as his 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, 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, preapprenticeship, and/or
on-the-job training."
2.
EEO Officer: The contractor will designate and make known to the SHA contracting officers an EEO
Officer who will have the responsibility for and must be capable of effectively administering and
promoting an active contractor program of EEO 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 who 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.
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.
FHWA-1273
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 minority group employees.
Page 2 of 16
January 2007
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.
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 minority groups 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
minority group applicants. To meet this requirement, the contractor will identify sources of
potential minority group employees, and establish with such identified sources procedures
whereby minority group 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, he is expected to observe the provisions of that agreement to the extent that the
system permits the contractor's compliance with EEO contract provisions. (The DOL has held
that where implementation of such agreements have the effect of discriminating against
minorities or women, or obligates the contractor to do the same, such implementation violates
Executive Order 11246, as amended.)
c.
5.
The contractor will encourage his present employees to refer minority group applicants for
employment. Information and procedures with regard to referring minority group applicants will
be discussed with employees.
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, national
origin, age or disability. The following procedures shall be followed:
a. The contractor will conduct periodic inspections of project sites to insure 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.
6.
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 his 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 his avenues of appeal.
Training and Promotion:
a. The contractor will assist in locating, qualifying, and increasing the skills of minority group and
women employees, and applicants for employment.
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. Where
feasible, 25 percent of apprentices or trainees in each occupation shall be in their first year of
FHWA-1273
Page 3 of 16
January 2007
apprenticeship or training. In the event a special provision for training is provided under this
contract, this subparagraph will be superseded as indicated in the special provision.
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 minority group and
women employees 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 his/her best efforts to obtain the cooperation of such unions to increase opportunities
for minority groups and women within the unions, and to effect referrals by such unions of minority and
female employees. 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 best efforts to develop, in cooperation with the unions, joint training
programs aimed toward qualifying more minority group members and women for membership
in the unions and increasing the skills of minority group employees and women so that they
may qualify for higher paying employment.
b. The contractor will use best 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, 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 SHA 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 minority and
women 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, national origin, age or disability; making full efforts to obtain
qualified and/or qualifiable minority group persons and women. (The DOL has held that it shall
be no excuse that the union with which the contractor has a collective bargaining agreement
providing for exclusive referral failed to refer minority employees.) 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
SHA.
8.
Selection of Subcontractors, Procurement of Materials and Leasing of Equipment: The
contractor shall not discriminate on the grounds of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or
disability in the selection and retention of subcontractors, including procurement of materials and leases
of equipment.
a. The contractor shall notify all potential subcontractors and suppliers of his/her EEO obligations
under this contract.
b. Disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE), as defined in 49 CFR 23, shall have equal
opportunity to compete for and perform subcontracts which the contractor enters into pursuant
to this contract. The contractor will use his best efforts to solicit bids from and to utilize DBE
subcontractors or subcontractors with meaningful minority group and female representation
among their employees. Contractors shall obtain lists of DBE construction firms from SHA
personnel.
c.
9.
The contractor will use his best efforts to ensure subcontractor compliance with their EEO
obligations.
Records and Reports: The contractor shall keep such records as necessary to document compliance
with the EEO requirements. Such records shall be retained for a period of three years following
FHWA-1273
Page 4 of 16
January 2007
completion of the contract work and shall be available at reasonable times and places for inspection by
authorized representatives of the SHA and the FHWA.
a. The records kept by the contractor shall document the following:
1. The number of minority and non-minority group members and women employed in each
work classification on the project;
2. The progress and efforts being made in cooperation with unions, when applicable, to
increase employment opportunities for minorities and women;
3. The progress and efforts being made in locating, hiring, training, qualifying, and upgrading
minority and female employees; and
4. The progress and efforts being made in securing the services of DBE subcontractors or
subcontractors with meaningful minority and female representation among their employees.
b. The contractors will submit an annual report to the SHA each July for the duration of the
project, indicating the number of minority, women, and non-minority group employees currently
engaged in each work classification required by the contract work. This information is to be
reported on Form FHWA-1391. If on-the-job training is being required by special provision, the
contractor will be required to collect and report training data.
III.
NONSEGREGATED FACILITIES
(Applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts and to all related subcontracts of $10,000 or more.)
a.
By submission of this bid, the execution of this contract or subcontract, or the consummation of
this material supply agreement or purchase order, as appropriate, the bidder, Federal-aid
construction contractor, subcontractor, material supplier, or vendor, as appropriate, certifies that
the firm does not maintain or provide for its employees any segregated facilities at any of its
establishments, and that the firm does not permit its employees to perform their services at any
location, under its control, where segregated facilities are maintained. The firm agrees that a
breach of this certification is a violation of the EEO provisions of this contract. The firm further
certifies that no employee will be denied access to adequate facilities on the basis of sex or
disability.
b. As used in this certification, the term "segregated facilities" means any waiting rooms, work
areas, restrooms and washrooms, restaurants and other eating areas, timeclocks, locker
rooms, and other storage or dressing areas, parking lots, drinking fountains, recreation or
entertainment areas, transportation, and housing facilities provided for employees which are
segregated by explicit directive, or are, in fact, segregated on the basis of race, color, religion,
national origin, age or disability, because of habit, local custom, or otherwise. The only
exception will be for the disabled when the demands for accessibility override (e.g. disabled
parking).
c.
IV.
The contractor agrees that it has obtained or will obtain identical certification from proposed
subcontractors or material suppliers prior to award of subcontracts or consummation of material
supply agreements of $10,000 or more and that it will retain such certifications in its files.
PAYMENT OF PREDETERMINED MINIMUM WAGE
(Applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts exceeding $2,000 and to all related subcontracts,
except for projects located on roadways classified as local roads or rural minor collectors, which are
exempt.)
1.
General:
a. All mechanics and laborers employed or working upon the site of the work will be paid
unconditionally and not less often than once a week and without subsequent deduction or
rebate on any account [except such payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations (29 CFR
3) issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (40 U.S.C. 276c)] the full amounts
of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment.
The payment shall be computed at wage rates not less than those contained in the wage
determination of the Secretary of Labor (hereinafter "the wage determination") which is
FHWA-1273
Page 5 of 16
January 2007
attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual relationship which may
be alleged to exist between the contractor or its subcontractors and such laborers and
mechanics. The wage determination (including any additional classifications and wage rates
conformed under paragraph 2 of this Section IV and the DOL poster (WH-1321) or Form
FHWA-1495) shall be posted at all times by the contractor and its subcontractors at the site of
the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers. For
the purpose of this Section, contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide
fringe benefits under Section 1(b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 276a) on behalf of
laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the
provisions of Section IV, paragraph 3b, hereof. Also, for the purpose of this Section, regular
contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than
quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs, which cover the particular weekly period, are
deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and
mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage
determination for the classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as
provided in paragraphs 4 and 5 of this Section IV.
b. Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at
the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein, provided, that the
employer's payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which
work is performed.
c.
2.
All rulings and interpretations of the Davis-Bacon Act and related acts contained in 29 CFR 1,
3, and 5 are herein incorporated by reference in this contract.
Classification:
a. The SHA contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics employed
under the contract, which is not listed in the wage determination, shall be classified in
conformance with the wage determination.
b. The contracting officer shall approve an additional classification, wage rate and fringe benefits
only when the following criteria have been met:
1. the work to be performed by the additional classification requested is not performed by a
classification in the wage determination;
2. the additional classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry;
3. the proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable
relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination; and
4. with respect to helpers, when such a classification prevails in the area in which the work is
performed.
c.
If the contractor or subcontractors, as appropriate, the laborers and mechanics (if known) to be
employed in the additional classification 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
DOL, Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration,
Washington, D.C. 20210. The Wage and Hour 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 30day period that additional time is necessary.
d. In the event the contractor or subcontractors, as appropriate, the laborers or mechanics to be
employed in the additional 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
Wage and Hour Administrator for determination. Said Administrator, or an authorized
representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise the
FHWA-1273
Page 6 of 16
January 2007
contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional
time is necessary
e. The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to paragraph
2c or 2d of this Section IV shall be paid to all workers performing work in the additional
classification from the first day on which work is performed in the classification.
3.
Payment of Fringe Benefits:
a. 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 or
subcontractors, as appropriate, shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination
or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly case equivalent thereof.
b. If the contractor or subcontractor, as appropriate, does not make payments to a trustee or other
third person, he/she may consider as a part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the
amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in 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.
4.
Apprentices and Trainees (Programs of the U.S. DOL) and Helpers:
a. Apprentices:
1. 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 DOL, Employment and Training Administration,
Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or with a State apprenticeship agency recognized
by the Bureau, or if a person is employed in his/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 Bureau of Apprenticeship and
Training or a State apprenticeship agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for
probationary employment as an apprentice.
2. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeyman-level employees 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 employee 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 listed in 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 or subcontractor 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-level hourly rate) specified in the contractor's or
subcontractor's registered program shall be observed.
3. 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 journeyman-level
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 for the Wage and Hour Division determines that a different practice
prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with
that determination.
4. In the event the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or a State apprenticeship agency
recognized by the Bureau, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the contractor
or subcontractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable
FHWA-1273
Page 7 of 16
January 2007
predetermined rate for the comparable work performed by regular employees until an
acceptable program is approved.
b. Trainees:
1. 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 DOL, Employment and Training Administration.
2. The ratio of trainees to journeyman-level employees on the job site shall not be greater
than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration.
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.
3. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for
his/her level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman-level 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 journeymanlevel wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits
for apprentices, in which case such trainees shall receive the same fringe benefits as
apprentices.
4. In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training
program, the contractor or subcontractor 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.
c.
5.
Helpers:
Helpers will be permitted to work on a project if the helper classification is specified and defined
on the applicable wage determination or is approved pursuant to the conformance procedure
set forth in Section IV.2. Any worker listed on a payroll at a helper wage rate, who is not a
helper under a approved definition, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the
wage determination for the classification of work actually performed.
Apprentices and Trainees (Programs of the U.S. DOT):
Apprentices and trainees working under apprenticeship and skill training programs which have
been certified by the Secretary of Transportation as promoting EEO in connection with Federal-aid
highway construction programs are not subject to the requirements of paragraph 4 of this Section
IV. The straight time hourly wage rates for apprentices and trainees under such programs will be
established by the particular programs. The ratio of apprentices and trainees to journeymen shall
not be greater than permitted by the terms of the particular program.
6.
Withholding:
The SHA shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the
DOL withhold, or cause to be withheld, from the contractor or subcontractor 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,
as 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, all or part of the wages required by the contract, the SHA contracting officer may, after
FHWA-1273
Page 8 of 16
January 2007
written notice to the contractor, 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.
7.
Overtime Requirements:
No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the contract work which may require or
involve the employment of laborers, mechanics, watchmen, or guards (including apprentices,
trainees, and helpers described in paragraphs 4 and 5 above) shall require or permit any laborer,
mechanic, watchman, or guard in any workweek in which he/she is employed on such work, to work
in excess of 40 hours in such workweek unless such laborer, mechanic, watchman, or guard
receives compensation at a rate not less than one-and-one-half times his/her basic rate of pay for
all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in such workweek.
8.
Violation:
Liability for Unpaid Wages; Liquidated Damages: In the event of any violation of the clause set forth
in paragraph 7 above, the contractor and any subcontractor responsible thereof shall be liable to
the affected employee for his/her unpaid wages. In addition, such contractor and subcontractor
shall be liable to the United States (in the case of work done under contract for the District of
Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory) for liquidated damages. Such liquidated
damages shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer, mechanic, watchman, or guard
employed in violation of the clause set forth in paragraph 7, in the sum of $10 for each calendar day
on which such employee was required or permitted to work in excess of the standard work week of
40 hours without payment of the overtime wages required by the clause set forth in paragraph 7.
9.
Withholding for Unpaid Wages and Liquidated Damages:
The SHA shall upon its own action or upon written request of any authorized representative of the
DOL withhold, or cause to be withheld, from any monies payable on account of work performed by
the contractor or subcontractor under any such contract or any other Federal contract with the
same prime contractor, or any other Federally-assisted contract subject to the Contract Work Hours
and Safety Standards Act, which is held by the same prime contractor, such sums as may be
determined to be necessary to satisfy any liabilities of such contractor or subcontractor for unpaid
wages and liquidated damages as provided in the clause set forth in paragraph 8 above.
V.

p. Conduct a review, at least annually, of all supervisors’ adherence to and performance under the
Contractor’s EEO policies and affirmative action obligations.
7.
Contractors are encouraged to participate in voluntary associations which assist in fulfilling one or more
of their affirmative action obligations (6a through p). The efforts of a Contractor association, joint
contractor union, Contractor-Community, or other similar group of which the Contractor is a member
and participant may be asserted as fulfilling any one or more of its obligations under 6A through p of
these Specifications provided that the Contractor actively participates in the group, make every effort to
assure that the group has a positive impact on the employment of minorities and females in the
industry, ensures that the concrete benefits of the program are reflected in the Contractor’s minority and
female work force participation, make a good faith effort to meet its individual goals and can provide
access to documentation which demonstrates the effectiveness of actions taken on behalf of the
Contractor. The obligation to comply, however, is the Contractor’s and failure of such a group to fulfill
an obligation shall not be a defense for the Contractor’s noncompliance.
8.
A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for women have been established. The
Contractor, however, is required to provide equal employment opportunity and to take affirmative action
for all minority groups, both male and female, and all women both minority and nonminority.
Consequently, the Contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a particular group is
employed in a substantially disparate manner (for example, even though the Contractor has achieved
its goals for women generally, the Contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a specific
minority group of women is underutilized).
9.
The Contractor shall not use the goals or affirmative action standards to discriminate against any
person because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
10.
The Contractor shall not enter any Subcontract with any person or firm debarred from Government
contracts pursuant to Executive Order 11246.
11.
The Contractor shall carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of these specifications and of
the Equal Opportunity Clause, including suspensions, termination and cancellation of existing
subcontracts as may be imposed or ordered pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and its
implementing regulations, by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. Any Contractor who
fails to carry out such sanctions and penalties shall be in violation of these specifications and Executive
Order 11246 as amended.
12.
The Contractor, in fulfilling its obligations under these specifications, shall implement specific affirmative
action steps, at least as extensive as those standards prescribed in paragraph 6 of these specifications,
so as to achieve maximum results from its efforts to ensure equal employment opportunity. If the
Page 3 of 4
January 2007
Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of the Executive Order, the implementing regulations or
these specifications, the Director shall proceed in accordance with 41 CFR 60-4.8.
13.
The Contractor shall designate a responsible official to monitor all employment related activity to ensure
that the company EEO policy is being carried out, to submit reports relating to the provisions hereof as
may be required by the Government and to keep records. Records shall at least include for each
employee the name, address, telephone number, construction trade, union affiliation if any, employee
identification number when assigned, social security number, race, sex, status (such as mechanic,
apprentice, trainee, helper, or laborer), dates of changes in status, hours worked per week in the
indicated trade, rate of pay, and locations at which the work was performed. Records shall be
maintained in an easily understandable and retrievable form; however, to the degree that existing
records satisfy this requirement, contractors shall not be required to maintain separate records.
14.
Nothing herein provided shall be construed as a limitation upon the application of other laws which
establish different standards of compliance or upon the application of requirements for the hiring of local
or other area residents (such as those under the Public Works Employment Act of 1977 and the
community Development Block Grant Program).
15.
Noncompliance by the Contractor with the requirements of the Affirmative Action Program for Equal
Employment Opportunity may be cause for delaying or withholding monthly and final payments pending
corrective and appropriate measures by the Contractor to the satisfaction of the Department.

NOTICE OF REQUIREMENT FOR AFFIRMATIVE ACTION TO ENSURE EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
(EXECUTIVE ORDER 11246)
1. The goals for minority and female participation, in the covered area, expressed in percentage terms for
the Contractor’s aggregate work force in each trade, on all construction work are as shown on Page 2.
These goals are applicable to all the Contractor’s construction work (whether or not it is Federal or
federally assisted) performed in the covered area. If the Contractor performs construction work in a
geographical area located outside of the covered area, it shall apply the goals established for such
geographical area where the work is actually performed. With regard to this second area, the Contractor
also is subject to the goals for both its federally involved and nonfederally involved construction.
The Contractor’s compliance with the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4 shall be
based on its implementation of the Equal Opportunity Clause, specific affirmative action obligations
required by the specifications set forth in 41 CFR 60-4. (3) a, and its efforts to meet the goals. The hours
of minority and female employment and training must be substantially uniform throughout the length of
the contract, and in each trade, and the Contractor shall make a good faith effort to employ minorities and
women evenly on each of its projects. The transfer of minority or female employees or trainees from
Contractor to Contractor or from project to project for sole purpose of meeting the Contractor’s goals shall
be a violation of the contract, the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4. Compliance
with the goals will be measured against the total work hours performed.
2. The Contractor will provide the Department with written notification in triplicate within 10 working days of
award of any construction subcontract in excess of $10,000 at any tier for construction work under the
contract resulting from this solicitation. The notification will list the name, address and telephone number
of the subcontractor; employer identification number of the subcontractor; estimated dollar amount of the
subcontract; estimated starting and completion dates of the subcontract; and the geographical area in
which the contract is to be performed.
3. As used in this Notice and in the Contract resulting from this solicitation the covered area is the county or
counties in which the Project is located.
4. If a project is located in more than one county, the minority work hours goal, only, will be determined by
the county which serves as the primary source of hiring or, if workers are obtained almost equally from
one or more counties, the single minority goal will be the average of the affected county goals.

DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE UTILIZATION ATTACHMENT
FHWA FUNDED CONTRACTS
I
UTILIZATION OF DISADVANTAGED BUSINESSES AS CONTRACTORS, MATERIAL SUPPLIERS
AND EQUIPMENT LESSORS.
The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) advises each contractor or subcontractor that
failure to carry out the requirements set forth in this attachment shall constitute a breach of contract
and, after the notification of the applicable federal agency, may result in termination of the agreement or
contract by the Department or such remedy as the Department deems appropriate. Requirements set
forth in this section shall also be physically included in all subcontracts in accordance with USDOT
requirements.
II
POLICY
It is the policy of NJDOT that Disadvantaged Business Enterprises, as defined in 49 CFR, Part 26;
Titles I & V of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA); the Transportation
Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21); and Section V, Part B below, shall have equal opportunity to
participate in the performance of contracts financed in whole or in part with federal funds under this
agreement. Consequently, the DBE requirements of 49 CFR, Part 26, Subsections A, C and F apply to
this agreement.
III
CONTRACTOR’S DBE OBLIGATION
The NJDOT and its Contractor agree that Disadvantaged Business Enterprises, as defined in 49 CFR
Part 26, Subpart A; and in the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) and
the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), and Section V, Part B below, have equal
opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts and subcontracts financed in whole or in part
with federal funds provided under this agreement. In this regard, the NJDOT and all Contractors shall
take all necessary and reasonable steps in accordance with 49 CFR, Part 26 to ensure that
Disadvantaged Businesses are given equal opportunity to compete for and to perform on NJDOT
federally funded contracts. The NJDOT and its Contractors shall not discriminate on the basis of race,
color, national origin, or sex in the award and performance of USDOT assisted contracts.
IV
COMPLIANCE
To signify and affirm compliance with the provisions of this attachment, the bidder shall complete the
Schedule of DBE Participation (Form A) included in the bid package and all forms and documents
required in Sections VII and VIII of these provisions which will be made a part of the resulting contract.
V
GOALS FOR THIS PROJECT
A. This Project includes a goal of awarding 18 percent of the total contract value to subcontractors,
equipment lessors and/or material suppliers that qualify as Disadvantaged Business Enterprises
(DBEs).
1. Failure to meet the minimum goal placed on this project, or to provide a “good faith effort” to
meet the minimum goal, may be grounds for rejection of the bid as being non-responsive.
2. As a source of information only, a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Directory is available
from the Division of Civil Rights and Affirmative Action. Use of this listing does not relieve the
Contractor of their responsibility to seek out other DBE’s not listed, prior to bid. If a contractor
proposes to use a DBE contractor not listed in the DBE Directory, the proposed DBE firm must
submit a completed certification application to the Division of Civil Rights and Affirmative Action,
fifteen (15) days prior to bid date.
B. DEFINITIONS
DBE UTILIZATION ATTACHMENT
Page 1 of 5
January 2007
1. Disadvantaged Business Enterprise is a firm, “Owned and controlled” by socially and
economically disadvantaged individuals that is also a small business concern, as defined
pursuant to Section 3 of the Small Business Act and Small Business Administration Regulations
(13 CFR, Part 121) which also does not exceed the revenue cap on averaged annual gross
receipts applicable to the firm’s particular Standard Industrial Classification (SIC Code).
2. Owned and Controlled is defined as a firm which is at least fifty-one (51%) percent owned by
one or more disadvantaged individuals, or in the case of a publicly owned business, at least
fifty-one (51%) percent of the stock is owned by one or more disadvantaged individuals, and
whose management and daily business operations are controlled by one or more such
individuals.
3. Any individual in one of the following groups who is also a U.S. Citizen or lawfully admitted
permanent resident presumed to be socially and economically disadvantaged under the DBE
Program.
(a) Black Americans – includes any persons having origins in any of the black racial groups of
Africa;
(b) Hispanic Americans - includes persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican,
Central or South American, or other Spanish or Portuguese culture; or origin, regardless of
race;
(c) Native American - includes persons who are American Indians, Eskimos, Aleuts or Native
Hawaiians;
(d) Asian-Pacific Americans - includes persons whose origins are from Japan, China, Taiwan,
Korea, Burma (Myanmar), Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia (Kampuchea), Thailand, Malaysia,
Indonesia, the Philippines, Brunei, Samoa, Guam, the U.S. Trust Territories of the Pacific
Islands (Republic of Palau) the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Macao,
Fiji, Tonga, Kiribati, Juvalu, Nauru, Federated States of Micronesia or Hong Kong;
(e) Subcontinent Asian Americans - includes persons whose origins are from India, Pakistan,
Bangladesh, Bhutan, the Maldives Islands, Nepal or Sri Lanka;
(f) Women - regardless of race;
(g) Other - Any additional groups whose members are designated as socially and economically
disadvantaged by the Small Business Administration, at such time as the SBA designation
becomes effective; or a determination made by the NJDOT’s Division of Civil Rights and
Affirmative Action, on a case-by-case basis;
VI
COUNTING DBE PARTICIPATION
A. Each DBE is subject to a certification procedure to ensure its DBE eligibility status prior to award of
contract. In order to facilitate this process it is advisable for the bidder to furnish the names of
proposed DBE’s to the Department fifteen (15) days before bid opening. Once a firm is determined
to be a bona fide DBE by the Division of Civil Rights and Affirmative Action, the total dollar value of
the contract awarded to the DBE is counted toward the applicable DBE goal.
B. The Contractor may count toward its DBE goal only expenditures to DBE’s that perform a
commercially useful function in the work of a contract. A DBE is considered to perform a
commercially useful function when it is responsible for execution of a distinct element of the work of
a contract and carrying out its responsibility by actually performing, managing and supervising the
work involved. To determine whether a DBE is performing a commercially useful function, the
Contractor shall evaluate the amount of work subcontracted, industry practice and other relevant
factors.
C. If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least 30 percent of the total cost of its
contract with its own workforce, or the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of a contract
than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, you
must presume that it is not performing a commercially useful function.
D. If the prime Contractor is a certified DBE, payments made to the Contractor for work performed by
the Contractor will be applied toward the DBE goal. Payments made to the Contractor for work
performed by non-DBE’s will not be applied toward the goal.
Page 2 of 5
January 2007
E. The prime Contractor may count 60 percent of its expenditures to DBE suppliers who are not
Manufacturers, provided that the DBE supplier performs a commercially useful function in the
supply process. The contractor may count 100% of its expenditure to DBE suppliers who are also
manufacturers. Manufacturers receive 100% credit toward the DBE goal.
F. When a DBE subcontractor sublets part of the work of its contract to another firm, the value of the
subcontract work may be counted towards the DBE goals only if the subcontractor itself is a DBE.
Work that a DBE subcontractor subcontracts to a non-DBE firm, does not count toward DBE goals.
VII
GOOD FAITH EFFORT
To demonstrate sufficient reasonable efforts to meet the DBE contract goals, a bidder shall document
the steps it has taken to obtain DBE participation, including but not limited to the following:
A. Attendance at a pre-bid meeting, if any, scheduled by the Department to inform DBE’s of
subcontracting opportunities under a given solicitation.
B. Advertisement in general circulation media, trade association publications, as well as minority-focus
media for at least 20 days before bids are due. If 20 days are not available, publication for a
shorter reasonable time is acceptable.
C. Written notification to DBE’s that their interest in the contract is solicited;
D. Efforts made to select portions of the work proposed to be performed by DBEs in order to increase
the likelihood of achieving the stated goal;
E. Efforts made to negotiate with DBE’s for specific sub-bids including at a minimum:
1. The names, addresses and telephone numbers of DBE’s that were contacted;
2. A description of the information provided to DBE’s regarding the plans and Specifications for
portions of the work to be performed; and
3. A statement of why additional agreements with DBE’s were not reached;
F
Information regarding each DBE the bidder contacted and rejected as unqualified and the reasons
for the bidder’s conclusion;
G. Efforts made to assist the DBE in obtaining bonding or insurance required by the Bidder or the
Department.
NOTE: If the Division of Civil Rights and Affirmative Action determines that the apparent successful low
bidder has failed to meet the requirements of this section, the bidder will be afforded the
opportunity for administrative consideration prior to the award or rejection of the contract. As part
of the administrative reconsideration process, the bidder will have the opportunity to provide
written documentation or argument concerning the issue of whether it met the goal or made
adequate good faith efforts to do so. NJDOT will send the bidder a written decision on
reconsideration, explaining the basis for finding that the bidder did or did not meet the goal or
make adequate good faith efforts to do so. The result of the reconsideration process is not
administratively appealable to the USDOT.
VIII
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PLANS
A. General contractors are required to submit their firm’s Affirmative Action Program annually to the
Division of Civil Rights and Affirmative Action. Until such time as these programs are submitted
and approved, Contractors must have their programs in the Division of Civil Rights and Affirmative

2. An explanation of the affirmative action methods used in seeking out and considering
Disadvantaged Business Enterprises as subcontractors, material suppliers or equipment
lessors.
3. An explanation of affirmative action methods intended to be used in seeking out and
considering Disadvantaged Business Enterprises as subcontractors, material suppliers or

Business Enterprise/Affirmative Action activities after the award of the contract and for the
duration of said project.
C. The following shall be submitted either with the bid or to the Division of Civil Rights and Affirmative
Action no later than seven (7) State business days after the date of receipt of bids.

project.
3. DBE Form B - Affidavit of Disadvantaged Business Enterprise. Each proposed DBE not listed in
the NJDOT DBE directory must submit Form B attesting to its validity as a DBE. (All firms must
be certified by the Department’s D/ESBE Liaison Officer prior to award of the contract).
4. Request for Exemption - In the event that the bidder fails to meet the specified goal, they must
submit within seven State business days of the bid, a written request for exemption to the goal.
This request must include a written statement addressing Items A through G in Article VII of this
attachment in addition to an accounting of the reason(s) why each items in the bid proposal
was not subcontracted. Submittal of such request does not imply Departmental approval. An
assessment of the material will be conducted by the Department’s Division of Civil Rights and
Affirmative Action.
IX
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION AFTER AWARD OF THE CONTRACT
If at any time following the award of contract, the Contractor intends to sublet any portion(s) of the work
under said contract, or intends to purchase material or lease equipment not contemplated during
preparation of bids, said Contractor shall take affirmative action:
1. To notify the Resident Engineer, in writing, of the type and approximate value of the work which the
Contractor intends to accomplish by such subcontract, purchase order or lease.
2. To signify and affirm compliance with the provisions of this Section, the Contractor shall submit the
Post-Award DBE Certification Form to the Regional Supervising Engineer with his application to
sublet or prior to purchasing material or leasing equipment. Post Award DBE forms may be
obtained from the Resident Engineer.
3. To give disadvantaged firms equal consideration with non-minority firms in negotiation for any
subcontracts, purchase orders or leases.
4. If a prime contractor fails to meet its original DBE obligation, they must request an exemption to the
goal following criteria in Section VIII (C)(4) and provide a good faith effort thereof. This request
must include a written statement addressing each of the Good Faith Efforts outlined in Section VII,
A-G.
X
CONSENT BY DEPARTMENT TO SUBLETTING

Contractor has complied with the terms of this attachment.
XI
SELECTION AND RETENTION OF SUBCONTRACTORS
A. The Contractor is further obligated to provide the Resident Engineer with a listing of firms,
organizations or enterprises solicited and those utilized as subcontractors on the proposed project.
Such listing shall clearly delineate which firms are classified as disadvantaged.
B. Efforts made to identify and retain a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise as a substitution
subcontractor when the arrangements with the original DBE proved unsuccessful, shall be
submitted in writing to the Department’s D/ESBE Liaison Officer for approval. Work in the category
concerned shall not begin until such approval is granted in writing.
C. Notification of a subcontractor’s termination will be sent to the Department by the Contractor
through the Resident Engineer. Said termination notice will include the subcontractor’s ethnic
classification and reason for termination.

INCENTIVE PROGRAM DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE UTILIZATION ATTACHMENT FOR
FHWA FUNDED CONTRACTS
I
PURPOSE.
To ensure that certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE’s), as defined in 49 CFR Part 26,
have the maximum opportunity to compete for and perform on Department construction projects.
II
INTENT.
To encourage prime contractors to utilize the services of DBE’s who have not previously been prime
contractors or subcontractors on Department projects, and afford DBE’s the opportunity to again
experience in Department construction contract work.
III
ELIGIBILITY.
Only prime contractors and DBE’s certified prior to the date of bid, or prospective DBE’s that have
submitted to the Division of Civil Rights/Affirmative Action on or before the day of bid a completed “New
Jersey Department of Transportation Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Disclosure Affidavit” (PR-131)
and all required documentation and have never been either prime contractor or subcontractor on
Department construction projects will be eligible for participation in this program. A list of those eligible
DBE’s will be available from the Division of Civil Rights/Affirmative Action. Any bidder who submits the
name of a certified first-time DBE as part of its goal commitment is also eligible. Any DBE participating
in the program must submit to the prime contractor a certification that they have never been either a
prime contractor or subcontractor on a Department construction project under their present name or
any other name. The prime contractor shall submit this certification with their required DBE submission.
IV
INCENTIVE.
Prime contractors utilizing first-time DBE’s will be given a credit toward their goal percentage identified
in companion document “Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Utilization Attachment For FHWA Funded
Contracts”, dated September 1987, revised January 1989, September 1992 and May 1995, equal to the
actual dollar amount subcontracted to a first time DBE with the total project credit limited to two percent
(2%) of the total bid price but not to exceed $200,000. This extra credit will reduce the goal percentage
award as well as be applicable to the reduced goal percentage.
V
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS.
A. A prime contractor may present any number of first time DBE’s for each project. Credit will be given
only for the actual amount subcontracted up to the limits established in IV above.
B. The prime contractor shall be responsible for the entire DBE goal percentage established for the
project.
C. Failure to use a first time DBE shall cause the original goal award percentage prior to applying first
time DBE credits to remain in effect.
D. Failure to meet the goal award percentage, coupled with a lack of good faith effort as determined by
the Division of Civil Rights/Affirmative Action, will be considered to be non-compliance on the part
of the prime contractor who may be placed in show cause and subsequently be grounds for
rejection of the bid as nonresponsive.

be made fully cognizant of, and will implement, the Contractor’s equal employment opportunity
policy and contractual responsibilities to provide equal employment opportunity in each grade and
classification of employment. To ensure compliance, the following minimum actions will be taken:
EEO SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Page 1 of 7
January 2007
(1) An initial project site meeting with key supervisory and office personnel will be conducted
before or at the start of work, and then not less than once every 6 months, at which time the
Contractor’s equal employment opportunity program will be reviewed and explained. The
meetings will be conducted by the EEO Officer or other knowledgeable company official.
(2) All new supervisory and office personnel will be given a thorough indoctrination by the EEO
Officer or other knowledgeable company official covering all major aspects of the Contractor’s
equal employment opportunity obligations within 30 days following their reporting for duty with
the Contractor.
(3) All personnel engaged in direct recruitment for the project will be instructed by the EEO Officer
or appropriate company official concerning the Contractor’s procedures for locating and hiring
minority and female employees.
b. In order to make the Contractor’s equal employment opportunity policy known to all employees,
prospective employees and potential sources of employees, i.e., schools, employment agencies,
labor unions (where appropriate), college placement officers, etc., the Contractor will take the
following actions:
(1) Notices and posters setting forth the Contractor’s equal employment opportunity policy will be
placed in areas readily accessible to employees, applicants for employment and potential
employees.
(2) The Contractor’s equal employment opportunity policy and the procedures to implement such
policy will be brought to the attention of employees by means of meetings, employee
handbooks, and/or other appropriate means.
5.
Recruitment
a. When advertising for employees, the Contractor will include in all advertisements for employees the
notation: “An Equal Opportunity Employer”. All such advertisements will be published in
newspapers or other publications having a large circulation among minority groups in the area from
which the project work force would normally be derived.
b. 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
minority and female applicants, including, but not limited to, State employment agencies, schools,
colleges and minority-oriented organizations. To meet this requirement, the Contractor will, through
his EEO Officer, identify sources of potential minority and female employees, and establish
procedures with such sources whereby applicants may be referred to the Contractor for
employment consideration.
In the event the Contractor has a valid bargaining agreement providing for exclusive hiring hall
referrals, he is expected to observe the provisions of that agreement to the extent that the system
permits the Contractor’s compliance with the equal employment opportunity contract provisions.
(The US Department of Labor has held that where implementation of such agreements have the
effect of discriminating against minorities or females, or obligates the Contractor to do the same,
such implementation violates Executive Order 11246, as amended).
c.
6.
The Contractor will encourage his present employees to refer minority and female applicants for
employment by posting appropriate notices or bulletins in areas accessible to all such employees.
In addition, information and procedures pertaining to the referral of applicants will be discussed with
employees.
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, or national origin. The following
procedures shall be followed:
a. The Contractor will conduct a project site inspection at the start of work, and periodically thereafter,
to ensure that working conditions and employee facilities do not indicate discriminatory treatment of
project site personnel.
Page 2 of 7
January 2007
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, and will resolve or attempt to
resolve such complaints, within a reasonable time. If the investigation indicates that the
discrimination may affect persons other than the complainant, corrective action shall include such
other persons. Upon completion of each investigation, the Contractor will inform complainants of
available avenues of appeal.
7.
Training Special Provisions
As part of the Contractor’s equal employment opportunity affirmative action program, training shall be
provided as follows:
The Contractor shall provide on-the-job training aimed at developing full journey people in the type of
craft or job classification involved.
The number of training positions will be_11_, where feasible, consisting of at least__5__
APPRENTICES and __6__TRAINEES. TRAINEE HOURS=_7,760_.
Apprentices are defined as registered members of an approved apprenticeship program recognized by
the United States Department of Labor (USDOL) Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training (BAT) or a
New Jersey State apprenticeship agency recognized by USDOL BAT (e.g., New Jersey Department of
Education). Graduates of the Pre-Apprenticeship Training Cooperative Program shall be classified as
apprentices. Trainees are defined as skilled, semi-skilled or lower level management individuals
receiving training per one of the approved NJDOT “Revised Standard Training Guidelines” (available
from the Division of Civil Rights).
Where feasible, at least 50% of the training positions will be assigned to Skilled Crafts which include but
are not limited to Carpenters, Dockbuilders, Electricians, Ironworkers and Operating Engineers.
a. Contractor Submission and NJDOT Approval of the Initial Training Program.
At or after the preconstruction conference and prior to the start of work, the Contractor shall submit
a training program to the Resident Engineer for his or her review and comments prior to Division of
Civil Rights review and approval. The Contractor’s training program shall include:
(1) the number of trainees or apprentices to be trained in all selected Training Positions,
(2) the Standard Program Hours for all positions,
(3) an estimate of the Minimum Available Hours actually feasible on the project toward completion
of the Standard Program Hours per position,
(4) a training schedule of Estimated Start Dates for the apprentices or trainees, developed and
coordinated with the project’s work progress schedule,
(5) Training Guidelines for all positions, and
(6) which training will be provided by the Contractor and which by Subcontractors.
The number of apprentices and trainees shall be distributed among the work classifications on the basis
of the Contractor’s needs and the availability of journeypeople in the various crafts within a reasonable
area of recruitment. The Contractor shall submit timely, revised training programs as required
throughout the project to ensure that feasible and Maximum Available Training is provided. Maximum
Available Training is defined as bringing each apprentice or trainee onto the project when work first
becomes available in his/her craft and providing all available training until hours are no longer available.
b. Assignment of Training to Subcontractors
In the event that portions of the contract work are subcontracted, the Contractor shall determine
how many, if any, of the apprentices or trainees are to be trained by subcontractors, provided,
Page 3 of 7
January 2007
however, that the Contractor shall retain the primary responsibility for meeting the training
requirements imposed by these Training Special Provisions. The Contractor shall also ensure that
these Training Special Provisions are made applicable to such subcontracts.
c.
Requirements for Recruitment, Selection and Approval of Apprentices and Trainees
(1) Apprentices or trainees should be in their first year of apprenticeship or training. The
Contractor shall interview and screen trainee candidates to determine if their actual work
experience is equivalent to or exceeds that offered by the training program prior to submitting
candidates, via the Resident Engineer, to the Division for review and approval or disapproval.
(2) Training and upgrading of minorities (e.g., Blacks, Asians or Pacific Islanders, Native
Americans or Alaskan Natives, Hispanics) and females toward journeyperson status is a
primary objective of these Training Special Provisions. Accordingly, the Contractor shall make
every effort to enroll minorities and females, by conducting systematic and direct recruitment
through public and private sources likely to yield minority and female apprentices or trainees, to
the extent that such persons are available within a reasonable area of recruitment. This
training commitment is not intended, and shall not be used, to discriminate against any
applicant for training, whether a member of a minority group or not.
(3) No employee shall be employed as an apprentice or trainee in any position in which he or she
has successfully completed a training course leading to journeyperson status or in which he or
she has been employed as a journeyperson. The Contractor shall satisfy this requirement by
including appropriate questions in the employment application or by other suitable means and
by submitting an accurate and complete “Apprentice/Trainee Approval Memorandum.”
Regardless of the methods used, the Contractor’s records should document the findings in
each case.
(4) Skilled craft trainees may complete up to 3,000 total training hours on NJDOT projects, with an
extension of an additional 1,000 hours permitted on a case-by-case basis. Semi-skilled and
lower-level management trainees attain journeyperson status upon completion of a training
guideline and may complete up to three (3) different positions.
d. Apprenticeship and Training Programs
(1) The minimum length and type of training for each position will be established in the training
program selected by the Contractor and approved by NJDOT and the Federal Highway
Administration. NJDOT will approve a program if it is reasonably calculated to meet the equal
employment opportunity obligations of the Contractor and to qualify the average apprentice or
trainee for journeyperson status in the craft concerned by the end of the training period.
(2) Apprenticeship programs registered with the US Department of Labor, Bureau of
Apprenticeship and Training, or with a State apprenticeship agency recognized by USDOL BAT
and training programs approved but not necessarily sponsored by the US Department of Labor,
Employment and Training Administration, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training shall also be
considered acceptable provided such programs are being administered in a manner consistent
with the equal employment obligations of Federal-aid highway construction contracts. Approval
or acceptance of a training program shall be obtained from the NJDOT Division of Civil Rights
prior to commencing work on the positions covered by the Contractor’s training program. The
Division will review guidelines developed by the Contractor for approval or disapproval in
accordance with the Training Guideline Approval Process described in the “Revised Standard
Training Guidelines”. The Division will also review existing guidelines for revision based on the
same process.
(3) It is the intention of these provisions that training be provided in construction crafts rather than
clerk-typist or secretarial-type positions. Training is permitted in lower level management
positions (e.g., timekeepers), where the training is oriented toward project site applications.
Training in semi-skilled laborer positions is permitted provided that significant and meaningful
training is available on the project site. Some offsite, classroom training (e.g., safety, first aid
instruction) may be permitted as long as such training is an integral part of an approved training
program and does not comprise a significant part of the overall training.
e. Reimbursement of the Contractor for Providing Training
Page 4 of 7
January 2007
(1) The Contractor will be credited for each apprentice or trainee employed on the construction site
who is currently enrolled or becomes enrolled in an approved program and will be reimbursed
for such apprentices or trainees as provided hereinafter. Payment will be made under the pay
item Trainees at the bid price in the Proposal per person-hour of training given an employee on
this contract in accordance with an approved training program. If approved, payment will be
made for training persons in excess of the number specified herein. This reimbursement will be
made even though the Contractor receives additional training program funds from other
sources, provided such other sources do not specifically prohibit the Contractor from receiving
other reimbursement. Offsite, classroom training reimbursement may only be made to the
Contractor when the company does one or more of the following and the apprentices or
trainees are concurrently employed on a Federal-aid project: contributes to the cost of the
training and/or provides instruction to apprentices or trainees or pays their wages during the
offsite, classroom training (e.g., safety, first aid instruction) period.
(2) The Contractor shall pay apprentices and trainees according to the project-specific New Jersey
Department of Labor Prevailing Wage Rate Determination for the project.
f.
Documentation Required to be Signed by Apprentices or Trainees and provided to NJDOT
(1) At the start of training, the Contractor shall provide the Resident Engineer and each apprentice
or trainee with an applicable “Training Guideline” and, at the conclusion of training, an accurate
and complete “Training Certificate for Reporting Hours to NJDOT”, showing hours of training
satisfactorily completed.
(2) The Contractor shall maintain and submit an accurate and complete “NJDOT Contractor’s 1409
Quarterly Training Report” to the Resident Engineer within ten (10) days of the end of each
training quarter (e.g., January 10, April 10, July 10, October 10); a copy shall also be given to
each apprentice or trainee.
(3) The Contractor shall maintain and submit accurate and complete “Biweekly Training Reports” to
the Resident Engineer, and each apprentice or trainee, as periodic reports documenting
performance under these Training Special Provisions.
g. Training and Promotion

female employees and encourage eligible employees to apply for such training and promotion.
h. Determining Good Faith Compliance
(1) Per the approved program or guideline, the Contractor shall provide Maximum Available
Training to apprentices and trainees by beginning their training as soon as feasible with the
start of craft work utilizing the skill involved on the project construction site and by retaining
them as long as training opportunities exist in their crafts or until their training program positions
are completed.
(2) The Contractor shall recall apprentices or trainees released due to reductions in force when the
work scope permits and they are available to return. When they are unavailable to resume
training on the project site, the Contractor shall submit written proof of recall efforts and
replacement candidates and/or positions in a timely manner. The Contractor shall not
terminate apprentices or trainees prior to completion of their training program positions without
NJDOT consultation and authorization. Apprentices or trainees are not required to be on board
for the entire length of the contract.
(3) The Contractor shall have fulfilled the contractual responsibilities under these Training Special
Provisions if the company has provided Acceptable Training to the number of apprentices or
trainees specified in this contract and/or by providing the remaining hours required to complete
training positions begun by apprentices or trainees on other projects. The number trained shall
be determined on the basis of the total number enrolled on the contract for a significant period.
(4) The Contractor shall be responsible for demonstrating all steps that have been taken in
pursuance of enrolling minorities and females in the training program positions, prior to a
Page 5 of 7
January 2007
determination as to whether the Contractor is in compliance with these Training Special
Provisions.
(5) The Contractor shall submit to the Resident Engineer written training program summaries at the
50% time and/or cost stage of the contract and also prior to project completion, describing all
good faith actions and particularly addressing Maximum Available Training for incomplete
training positions, per the procedure found in the revised “Instructions for Implementing the
Training Special Provisions”.
i.
8.
Enforcement Measures and Contractor’s Rating
(1) Payment will not be made if either the failure to provide the required training or the failure to
hire the apprentice or trainee as a journeyperson is caused by the Contractor and evidences a
lack of good faith on the part of the Contractor in meeting the requirements of these Training
Special Provisions.
(2) Per established procedures and scheduled Contract Compliance Reviews, the Contractor’s
performance will be rated and reviewed periodically by the Department.
(3) Noncompliance with these Training Special Provisions may be cause for delaying or
withholding monthly and final payments, pending corrective and appropriate measures by the
Contractor to the satisfaction of the Department, per Item 1d of these EEO Special Provisions.
Unions
If the Contractor relies in whole or in part upon unions as a source of employees, the Contractor will
make maximum effort to obtain the cooperation of such unions to increase opportunities for minorities
and females within the unions, and to effect such union referrals to the construction project. 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 maximum effort to develop, in cooperation with the unions, joint training
programs aimed at qualifying more minorities and females for union membership and increasing
their skills in order to qualify for higher paying employment.
b. The Contractor will use maximum effort to incorporate an equal employment opportunity 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, or national origin.
c.
The Contractor will obtain information concerning the referral practices and policies of the labor
unions except that to the extent such information is within the exclusive possession of the labor
unions and they refuse to furnish this information to the Contractor, the Contractor shall so certify to
the Department and shall set forth what efforts have been made to obtain this information.
d. In the event the unions are unable to provide the Contractor with a reasonable flow of minority and
female 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, or national origin, making full efforts to obtain qualified and/or qualifiable
minorities and females. (The US Department of Labor has held that it shall be no excuse that the
union with which the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement providing for exclusive
referral failed to refer minority employees). 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 Department.
9.
Subcontracting
a. The Contractor will use maximum effort to solicit bids from and to utilize minority subcontractors or
subcontractors with meaningful minority and female representation among their employees.
Contractors may use lists of minority-owned construction firms as issued by the Department.
b. The Contractor will use maximum effort to ensure subcontractor compliance with the equal
employment opportunity obligations.
10.
Documents and Reports
Page 6 of 7
January 2007

contract’s equal employment opportunity requirements. Documents will include the following:
(1) the number of minorities, non-minorities, and females employed in each work classification on
the Project.
(2) the progress and efforts being made in cooperation with unions to increase employment
opportunities for minorities and females (applicable only to Contractors who rely in whole or in
part on unions as a source of their work force).
(3) the progress and efforts being made in locating, hiring, training, qualifying, and upgrading
minority and female employees, and
(4) the progress and efforts being made in securing the services of minority and female

CONRAIL RIGHT OF WAY
APPENDIX 8
CE-6 REV 2-97
SCOPE
It must be clearly understood that Conrail owns and uses its right of way for the primary purpose
of operating a railroad. All work shall therefore be done in a manner such that the rail operations
and facilities are not interfered with, interrupted or endangered. In addition, any facilities that are
a result of the proposed work shall be located to minimize encumbrance to the right of way so
that Conrail will have unrestricted use of its property for current and future operations.
The sponsor of the project shall be ultimately responsible for assuring that its agents, consultants,
contractors and sub-contractors fully comply with the specifications contained herein. The term
'sponsor' used throughout these specifications shall mean the sponsor, its employees, its agents,
consultants, contractors, sub-contractors, etc.
The following terms and conditions shall apply to any project which requires performance of work
on the right of way or other property of Conrail.
RIGHT OF ENTRY ON CONRAIL PROPERTY
No entry upon Conrail property shall be permitted without the proper authorization by Conrail to
the sponsor in the form of an agreement or a proper permit-to-enter prepared by Conrail. The
applicant shall pay the associated fees and execute the permit-to-enter prior to entering Conrail
property. The location and design of that portion of the access route to the project site that is on
Conrail property shall be shown clearly on any plans for the project and approved by Conrail.
It is to be clearly understood that the issuance of a permit-to-enter does not constitute authority
to proceed with any construction work. Construction cannot begin until a formal agreement
between Conrail and the sponsor is executed, and the sponsor receives permission from Conrail’s
representative to proceed with the work.
INSURANCE
In addition to any other forms of insurance or bonds required under the terms of any contract or
specifications and except to the extent that any of the requirements of this section are expressly
waived or revised in writing by Conrail, prior to the commencement of any work, contractor, at
his own cost and expense, shall maintain insurance of the following kinds and amounts and deliver
to Conrail satisfactory evidence of such insurance as indicated herein:
1. Public Liability Insurance
Public Liability Insurance, including contractual liability insurance of not less than $5,000,000
combined single limit for bodily injury and/or property damage for damages arising out of bodily

standard form policies issued by insurers of financial responsibility that are rated “A” or better by
Best’s Insurance Reports, “AA” or better by Standard & Poor’s Insurance Rating Service, and
“Aa” or better by Moody’s Investors Service. Conrail reserves the right to reject as inadequate
any insurance coverage provided by an insurance company that is rated less than the ratings above
by any of the aforementioned rating services. The above indicated insurance coverages shall be
enforceable by any legitimate claimant after the termination or cancellation of the project, whether
by expiration of time, by operation of law or otherwise, so long as the basis of the claim against
the insurance company occurred during the project and when the insurance was in force.
Contractor shall furnish Conrail with certificates of insurance evidencing the insurance coverages
required in sections 1, 2, 3, & 4, and shall also furnish the original Railroad Protective Liability
Insurance policy referred to in section 5 at least thirty (30) days prior to commencement of the
project. All insurance policies shall be endorsed to provide that the insurance company shall give
thirty (30) days prior written notice to Conrail if the policies are to be terminated or if any
changes are to be made which shall in any way affect the insurance requirements of the project.
Certificates, policies or notices should be sent to Manager - Insurance, Consolidated Rail
Corporation, 2001 Market Street - 6A, PO Box 41406, Philadelphia, PA 19101-1406.

and/or permanent work of the sponsor as shown on the approved construction plans, shall be
made or caused to be made by Conrail at the sole cost and expense of the sponsor in accordance
with Conrail's force account estimate. Any other changes made or services furnished by Conrail
at the request of the sponsor shall be the sole cost and expense of the sponsor.
PROTECTION OF RAILROAD OPERATIONS
-3-
APPENDIX 8
CE-6 REV 2-97
The sponsor shall conduct the work in such a manner as to safeguard the operations, facilities,
right of way and property of Conrail. All work affecting the above items shall be subject to the
approval of Conrail. The sponsor's operations adjacent to, over or under Conrail's tracks,
facilities, right of way, and property shall be governed by Conrail's standards and by such other
requirements as specified by Conrail's representative so as to insure the safe operation of trains,
prevent delay to trains and insure the safety of all concerned, including the sponsor's forces.
An operating track shall be considered obstructed or fouled when any object is brought closer
than fifteen (15) feet (4.6 m) horizontally from the centerline of track and projects above the top
of tie or as determined by Conrail’s representative. A power line shall be considered fouled when
any object is brought to a point less than eight (8) feet (2.5 m) therefrom. A signal line shall be
considered fouled when any object is brought nearer than six (6) feet (1.8 m) to any wire or cable.
Cranes, trucks and other equipment shall be considered as fouling the track, power line or signal
line when failure of equipment, whether working or idle, with or without load, will obstruct the
track or other Conrail facilities.
Equipment used by the sponsor shall be in first-class condition to preclude any failure that would
cause interference with the operation of Conrail trains or damage to its facilities. The sponsor's
equipment shall not be placed or put in operation adjacent to the tracks or facilities of Conrail
without obtaining clearance from Conrail’s representative. All such equipment shall be operated
by the sponsor in a manner satisfactory to Conrail. No equipment or material shall be stored on
Conrail property.
In general, a hazard occurs and a flagman is necessary in the following circumstances: (1) the
driving of sheeting or piles within twenty five (25) feet (7.6 m) of the tracks, (2) the removal or
demolition of all or part of an overhead or adjacent structure, (3) the erection of any structural
material, or (4) the performance of any other operation that could obstruct or foul (as described
above) the tracks or other facilities of Conrail as determined by Conrail's representative.
Minimum overhead and lateral clearances as specified by Conrail, shall be maintained during the
performance of all work. Existing overhead and lateral clearances shall be maintained during
construction unless a temporary reduction in clearance for construction purposes is approved, in
writing, by Conrail. The sponsor shall erect a highly visible construction fence no closer than
fifteen (15) feet (4.6 m) from the centerline of the track through the work area to insure that the
lateral clearance requirement is being met.
All wire and attachments shall be treated as live unless notified by Conrail’s representative that
same have been grounded and de-energized. Particular attention shall be given to the use of hand
lines containing metal strands which cannot be used when working near or above exposed live
wires. When working over wires, tools and materials not in use shall be stored in a manner to
prevent them from falling. Tools or materials shall not be thrown to or by men working over the
wires. The sponsor shall be responsible for locating and protecting all underground facilities.

APPENDIX 8
CE-6 REV 2-97
Painting and paint removal procedures shall be approved by the Conrail and inspected by
Conrail’s representative prior to beginning the work over railroad right of way. The sponsor shall
protect the track structure and railroad property from any material used in conjunction with
performing the work. A flagman shall be required whenever the above described work fouls or is
likely to foul the track, as previously defined.
The sponsor shall give notice to Conrail's representative at least fourteen (14) days in advance of
the time work is to be commenced. Conrail shall assign, at the sole cost and expense of the
sponsor, conductors and/or flagmen, or other similar qualified employees to protect Conrail’s
trains and facilities when in the opinion of its representative, the construction work will cause or
may cause a hazard to Conrail facilities and the safe operation of trains. No operations of the
sponsor shall be carried out without all the necessary protection to properly safeguard the work.
The minimum hours per day for railroad employees engaged in flagging service shall be eight (8)
hours. The overtime rate will be charged for all time in excess of eight (8) hours. Flagmen are
paid from the time they leave headquarters until they arrive back at headquarters. The travel time
to and from project site is known as "deadheading" and is paid at full rate of pay, plus travel
expenses. No conductor or flagman may remain on duty longer than twelve (12) hours in any
twenty-four (24) hour period.
The providing of flagmen or inspectors or the taking of other precautionary measures, shall not,
however, relieve the sponsor from liability for payment of damages caused by their operations.
The sponsor must obtain permission from the flagman before fouling or obstructing any track.
The sponsor shall be responsible for damage to Conrail facilities or property arising out of the
execution of its work. Conrail shall undertake any necessary repair work at the sole cost and
expense of the sponsor. Billing for the work shall be in accordance with Conrail’s standard billing
procedures.
Conrail labor shall be charged to sponsor at actual rate plus amount paid for insurance, railroad
retirement, excise tax, vacation allowance, holidays, health and welfare benefits, small tools, 401k
payment and overhead in accordance with Conrail's standard billing procedures. Materials shall
be charged to the sponsor at actual cost to Conrail plus transportation costs, handling expense
and applicable taxes.
RAILROAD ENGINEERING AND INSPECTION
Conrail, at its sole discretion, may assign an engineer or inspector for the general protection of
railroad property and operations during the construction of the project. This inspection service
shall be supplied at the sole cost and expense of the sponsor.
PAYMENT OF RAILROAD SERVICES
It is a requirement that the sponsor shall reimburse Conrail in full for work undertaken by Conrail
in accordance with any provision of these special requirements. Final contract payment shall not
be made by the sponsor to its contractor, sub-contractor, consultant or agent, until Conrail
certifies that all railroad bills against them, if any, have been paid in full.
TEMPORARY GRADE CROSSING
-5-
APPENDIX 8
CE-6 REV 2-97
Under most circumstances, a grade crossing of our track will not be permitted. Should the
sponsor demonstrate a necessity for a temporary grade crossing of Conrail's tracks, the sponsor
shall be required to apply for and execute the standard private grade crossing agreement for each
crossing required. Application for the crossing shall be made to Conrail at least twelve (12)
weeks before the crossing is required and addressed to:
Consolidated Rail Corporation
3501 Island Ave.
Philadelphia, PA 19153
Attention: Robert J. Dempsey
Manager, Real Estate Services
Telephone: (215) 937-7562
A letter size plan showing the location, size, construction details, and access to the requested
crossing should accompany the letter of application. The plan shall be fully detailed and
dimensioned with all Conrail facilities shown and referenced. The sponsor shall state the purpose
for which the crossing is needed and the expected life of the crossing. All application fees,
construction, maintenance, protection and removal costs shall be at the sole cost and expense of
the sponsor. The roadbed and all other Conrail facilities will be restored to the original condition
subject to the approval of Conrail's designated representative.
SHEETING AND SHORING REQUIREMENTS
The following items are to be included in the design and construction procedures for all
permanent and temporary facilities adjacent to Conrail tracks:
1) Footings for all piers, columns, walls or other facilities shall be located and designed so that
any temporary sheeting and shoring for support of adjacent track or tracks during
construction shall not be closer than ten (10) feet (3.0 m) from the centerline of the nearest
track.
2) When excavation for construction of the above mentioned facilities is within the theoretical
railroad embankment line (see Conrail Drawing SK-1, attached), interlocking steel sheet
piling, driven prior to excavation, must be used to protect track stability. The use of trench
boxes or similar devices is not acceptable. Soldier piling and lagging will be considered for
supporting adjacent track(s) only when its use is approved by Conrail. Consideration for
the use of soldier piling and lagging shall be made if the required penetration of steel sheet
piling cannot be obtained and when dry, non-running, stable material will be encountered.
3) The sheeting shall be designed to support all lateral forces caused by the earth, railroad and
other surcharge loads. The railroad loading to be applied is an E-80 loading. This loading
consists of 80 Kip (356 KN) axles spaced five (5) feet (1.5 m) on centers. The lateral forces
acting on the sheeting shall be computed as follows:
(a)
The Rankine Theory shall be used to compute the active earth pressure due to the
weight of the soil.
(b)
The Boussinesq analysis shall be used to determine the lateral pressure caused by
the railroad loading. The load on the track shall be taken as a strip load with a
width equal to the length of the ties (8'-6" or 2.6 m). The vertical surcharge, q (psf),
caused by each axle, shall be uniform and equal to the axle weight divided by the tie
-6-
APPENDIX 8
CE-6 REV 2-97
length and the axle spacing (5'-0" or 1.5 m). For an E-80 loading, this results in: q
= 80,000 / (8.5 X 5) = 1882 psf (90.1 KPa).
(c)
The horizontal pressure due to the live load surcharge at any point on the sheet
piling wall is Ph and can be calculated by the following: Ph = (2q/π)(β-sin β cos
2∝) (see Conrail Drawing SK-2, attached).
4) Deflection design criteria is as follows:
(a)
1/2” (1.27 cm) maximum deflection for sheet piling ten (10) feet (3.0 m) from
centerline of the nearest track.
(b)
1” (2.54 cm) maximum deflection for sheet piling greater than ten (10) (3.0 m) feet
from centerline of the nearest track.
Use K (at-rest earth pressure) for design of all braced and tie-back excavations.
(c)
5) The allowable stresses for the sheet piling and other steel members (wales, struts, etc.) shall
be in accordance with AREA Chapter 15, Part 1. These allowable stresses may be
increased ten percent (10%) due to the temporary nature of the installations. A factor of
safety of at least 1.5 must be used on temporary sheeting for the embedment length (i.e.
multiply calculated embedment depth by 1.5).
6) Where soil or rock anchors are used, all anchors must be tested. Testing shall be in
accordance with industry standards with ten percent (10%) of the anchors "Performance
Tested" and all others "Proof Tested". All tie-back anchor stresses are to be in accordance
with AREA Chapter 8, Part 20.5.7.
7) Exploratory trenches, three (3) feet (0.9 m) deep and fifteen (15) inches (0.4 m) wide in the
form of an "H" with outside dimensions matching the outside of sheeting dimensions are to
be hand dug, prior to placing and driving steel sheeting, in areas where railroad
underground installations are known to exist. These trenches are for exploratory purposes
only and are to be backfilled with the backfill compacted immediately. This work must be
done in the presence of Conrail’s representative.
8) Absolute use of track is required while driving sheeting within fifteen (15) feet (4.6 m)
from centerline of a live track. The procedure for arranging the use of track shall be as
outlined on pages Three and Four.
9) Cavities adjacent to the sheet piling, created by the driving of sheet piling, shall be filled
with sand and any disturbed ballast must be restored and tamped immediately.
10) Sheet piling shall be cut off at the top of tie during construction. After construction and
backfilling has been completed, piling within ten (10) feet (3.0 m) from centerline of track,
or when bottom of excavation is below a line extending a l:l slope from end of tie to point
of intersection with sheeting, shall be cut off eighteen (18) inches (0.5 m) below existing
ground line and left in place.
11) Any excavation adjacent to track shall be covered and ramped and provided with barricades
as required by Conrail. A lighted walkway with a handrail must be provided adjacent to the
track for any excavation within ten (10) feet (3.0 m) of the centerline.
12) Final backfilling of excavation shall be as required by project specifications.
-7-
APPENDIX 8
CE-6 REV 2-97
13) The sponsor is to advise Conrail of the time schedule of each operation and obtain approval
of Conrail for all work to be performed adjacent to Conrail tracks so that it may be
properly supervised by railroad personnel.
14) All drawings for temporary sheeting and shoring shall be prepared and stamped by a
Registered Professional Engineer and shall be accompanied by complete design
computations when submitted for approval.
15) Where physical conditions of design impose insurmountable restrictions requiring the
placing of sheeting closer than specified above, the matter must be submitted to Conrail for
approval of any modifications.
16) Five (5) copies of the submission are to be sent to Conrail's Area Engineer. The sponsor is
advised to expect a minimum thirty (30) day review period from the day the submission is
received by the Area Engineer.
17) Conrail's representative must be present at the site during the entire sheeting and shoring
procedure period. The sponsor must notify the railroad representative at least seventy-two
(72) hours in advance of the work. No changes will be accepted after that time.
ERECTION, HOISTING AND DEMOLITION REQUIREMENTS
1) A plan showing the locations of cranes, horizontally and vertically, operating radii, with
delivery or disposal locations shown. The location of all tracks and other railroad facilities
should also be shown.
2) Crane rating sheets showing cranes to be adequate for 150% of the actual weight of the
pick. A complete set of crane charts, including crane, counterweight, and boom
nomenclature is to be submitted.
3) Plans and computations showing weight of picks must be submitted. Where beams are
being removed over Conrail facilities, the weight shall include the weight of concrete or
other material that will be included in each pick. Calculations shall be made from plans of
the existing and/or proposed structure showing complete and sufficient details with
supporting data for the demolition or erection of the structure.
4) If the sponsor can prove to Conrail that plans do not exist and weights must be calculated
from field measurements, the field measurements are to be made under the supervision of
the Registered Professional Engineer submitting the procedure and he shall include
sketches and estimated weight calculations with his procedure. If possible, field
measurements shall be taken with a Conrail representative present. Weights shall include
the weight of concrete, or other material, that will be included in the lifts.
5) If the procedure involves either the cutting of steel or the bolting of joints which would
affect Conrail operations, a detailed staging plan with estimated durations will be required.
6) A location plan showing all obstructions such as wires, poles, adjacent structures, etc.,
must be provided to show that the proposed lifts are clear of these obstructions.
7) A data sheet shall be prepared listing the type, size and arrangements of slings, shackles, or
other connecting equipment. Include copies of a catalog or information sheets for
specialized equipment.
8) A complete procedure is to be included, indicating the order of lifts and any repositioning
or rehitching of the crane or cranes.
-8-
APPENDIX 8
CE-6 REV 2-97
9) Demolition shield submittals must include a plan showing the details of the shield, a written
installation and removal procedure and design calculations verifying the capacity of the
shield. The shield should be designed for a minimum load of fifty (50) pounds/sq.ft (245
kgs./sq.m)plus the weight of the equipment, debris and any other load to be carried.
10) Temporary support of any components (overhead or undergrade) or intermediate stages is
to be shown and detailed. A guardrail (railroad) will be required to be installed in a track
where a temporary bent is located within twelve (12) feet (3.7 m) from the centerline of
that track.
11) A time schedule of the various stages must be shown as well as a schedule for the entire
lifting procedure.
12) All bridge erection or demolition procedures submitted will be prepared, signed and sealed
by a Registered Professional Engineer.
13) Five (5) copies of the lifting procedures are to be sent to Conrail's Area Engineer. The
sponsor is to expect a minimum thirty (30) day review period from the day the submission
is received by The Area Engineer.
14) Conrail's representative must be present at the site during the entire demolition and erection
procedure period. The sponsor must notify the railroad representative at least seventy-two
(72) hours in advance of the work. No changes will be accepted after that time.
15) The name and experience of the employee supervising the operation must be supplied to
Conrail.
OVERGRADE BRIDGE REQUIREMENTS
CLEARANCES
1) The minimum vertical clearance above the top of the higher rail shall be twenty three
(23) feet (7 m) at all times. In areas where the railroad has been electrified with a
catenary wire, and areas which are likely to be electrified, the minimum vertical
clearance must be twenty four (24) feet, six (6) inches (7.5 m) above the top of the
higher rail.
2) The minimum horizontal clearance measured from the centerline of track to the near
face of the obstruction must be twenty (20) feet (6.1 m) for tangent track and
twenty one (21) feet (6.4 m) for curves. See Conrail Standard Plan 48754-B,
attached.
3) Whenever practicable, bridge structures must have the piers and abutments located
outside of the railroad right of way. All piers located less than twenty five (25) feet
(7.6 m) from the centerline of track require a crashwall designed in accordance with
specifications outlined in the current AREA manual.
4) All piers should be located so that they do not interfere with ditches. Where special
conditions make this impossible, an explanation of these conditions must be
submitted with the drainage plans for review by Conrail.
5) The permanent clearances should be correlated with the methods of construction so
that temporary construction clearances will not be less than the minimum allowed.
-9-
APPENDIX 8
CE-6 REV 2-97
6) Bridge structures shall provide sufficient lateral and vertical clearance for anticipated
future tracks, changes in track centers and raising of tracks for maintenance
purposes. The locations of these tracks shall be determined by inquiry to Conrail.
7) The profile of the top of rail should be examined to determine if the track is in a sag
at
the location of the bridge. If the track is in a sag, the vertical clearance from
the track to the bridge should be increased sufficiently to allow raising the track to
remove the sag.
8) Plans for bridges must show dimensioned locations of all utilities which might be
located on the railroad right of way.
9) Vertical and horizontal clearances must be adjusted so that the sight distance to
railroad signals is not reduced from what is existing.
10) All proposed temporary clearances which are less than those listed above must be
submitted to Conrail for review and must be approved by Conrail prior to
construction.
11) Clearances are subject to the requirements of the state in which the construction
takes place and must be approved by the State and Conrail if less than those
prescribed by law.
DRAINAGE
1) Maintaining the existing drainage and providing for future drainage improvements is
of the utmost importance. Conrail will give special attention to reviewing drainage
details.
2) Drainage plans must be included with the general plans submitted to Conrail for
approval.
These plans must include hydrologic and hydraulic studies and
computations showing the frequency and duration of the design storm used, as well
as the method of analysis such as Soil Conservation Service or the Rational method.
Conrail uses storms with a 100-year recurrence interval as the minimum design
storm.
3) Lateral clearances must provide sufficient space for construction of the required track
ditch parallel to the standard roadbed section. If the ditch cannot be provided, or the
pier will interfere with the ditch, then a culvert of sufficient size must be provided.
See Conrail Standard Plans 48754-B and 48747, attached.
4) Ditches and culverts must be sized to accommodate all increased run-off due to the
construction and the increased size must continue to the natural outlet of the ditch.
Ditches must be designed in accordance with good drainage engineering practices
and must meet all local codes and ordinances.
-10-
APPENDIX 8
CE-6 REV 2-97
5)
No scuppers or other deck drains, roadway drainage, catch basins, inlets or
outlets are permitted to drain onto Conrail property. Any variation of this policy
must have the prior approval of Conrail. If an exception is ultimately granted,
maintenance of such should not be Conrail's. Drainage from scuppers and deck
drains must be conveyed through pipes, preferably to a point which is off Conrail
property. If the drainage must be conveyed into a railroad ditch, calculations must be
provided to Conrail which indicate the ability of the ditch to carry the additional runoff.
6) Additional drainage may require the installation of a pipe or pipes, new ditch or
reprofiling of the existing ditch.
EROSION CONTROL
1) Embankment slopes on Conrail property adjacent to the track must have a slope of
2:1 or less and be paved for a minimum of two (2) feet (0.6 m) beyond the outside
edge of the bridge foundation structure. The purpose of the pavement is to minimize
erosion of the embankment material and to reduce deterioration of the sub-grade
material by drainage water. The pavement shall consist of a prepared sub-base
and/or filter fabric with grouted rip-rap on the surface.
2) The general plans for the bridge should indicate the proposed methods of erosion
control during construction and must specifically address means to prevent silt
accumulation in ditches and culverts and to prevent fouling the track ballast and subballast. If the plans do not show erosion control, the contractor must submit a
proposed method of erosion control and must have this method approved by Conrail
prior to beginning any grading on the site.
3) Existing track ditches must be maintained at all times throughout the construction
period. After the construction has been completed, all erosion and siltation must be
removed and the ditches must be restored.
4) Conrail's approval of drainage and erosion control plans will not relieve the sponsor
submitting these plans from ultimate responsibility for a satisfactory plan.
