Effective Date, and as may be amended, subject to the requirements of Paragraph 6. IV.

Service Line Replacement A.

Replacement of Service Lines; Replacement Eligible Households

8.

The City shall replace lead and galvanized steel service lines at

households served by the Flint Water System as described in this Section of the Agreement (Section IV). 9.

The City shall conduct excavations to identify the material of the

service line running from the main line to the curb box and from the curb box to the household water meter at a minimum of 18,000 households legally served by the Flint Water System. 10.

For each replacement eligible household (as defined in Paragraph 11)

at which the City conducts an excavation under Paragraph 9, if all or part of the service line from the main line to the household water meter is discovered to be lead or galvanized steel, the City shall replace the portion(s) of the service line that are lead or galvanized steel with a copper service line at no cost to the resident or the property owner, subject to Paragraphs 15 and 17. 11.

Households eligible for service line replacement. For purposes of this

Section (Section IV) only, a “replacement eligible household� is a household that has an active water account as of the Effective Date, irrespective of any water shut13


2:16-cv-10277-DML-SDD Doc # 147-1 Filed 03/27/17 Pg 18 of 92

Pg ID 7366

offs that may occur after the Effective Date. 12.

Replacement eligible households shall not include abandoned

households. A household is abandoned for purposes of this Agreement if it meets the definition of “Abandoned Property” set forth in section 24-109 of the Flint, Michigan Code of Ordinances, as of the Effective Date. 13.

The City shall maintain a list of households it determines are

abandoned and that would otherwise be eligible for service line replacement (“Abandoned Homes List”). If a resident activates a new water account at any time within 18 months of the Effective Date or prior to the Year 3 Cutoff Date, whichever is later, the City shall determine whether the address is on the Abandoned Homes List. If the address is on the Abandoned Homes list, the City shall undertake reasonable efforts to obtain permission from the account holder to replace the service line. Reasonable efforts shall include sending at least two written requests. If permission is granted, the City shall replace the service line at no cost to the new property owner within the timeline described in Paragraph 20. 14.

account is activated at an address on the Abandoned Homes List within 18 months of the Effective Date or prior to the Year 3 Cutoff Date, whichever is later, the City shall undertake reasonable efforts to obtain permission from the account holder to replace the service line. Reasonable efforts shall include sending at least two 14


2:16-cv-10277-DML-SDD Doc # 147-1 Filed 03/27/17 Pg 19 of 92

Pg ID 7367

written requests. If permission is granted, the City shall replace the service line at no cost to the new property owner within the timeline described in Paragraph 20. If a new water account is activated more than 18 months after the Effective Date or after the Year 3 Cutoff Date, whichever is later, the City must send a written notice to the new account holder, informing the account holder that the household’s service line material was not verified during City-wide service line excavation and replacement in 2017 through 2020, and that the service line may contain lead or galvanized steel. 15.

Efforts to obtain permission for replacement at eligible households.

The City shall undertake reasonable efforts to contact property owners of properties upon which replacement eligible households are located to obtain permission to replace the portions of service lines that lie beneath private property. To the extent that the resident of a replacement eligible household is a different person from the property owner, and if access to the household is necessary to conduct excavation or replacement, then the City shall also undertake reasonable efforts to contact the resident to obtain permission to replace the service line. a.

For purposes of Paragraph 15, reasonable efforts shall include, for those replacement eligible households at which an initial attempt to obtain permission by making in-person contact with the property owner at the household was unsuccessful, sending 15


2:16-cv-10277-DML-SDD Doc # 147-1 Filed 03/27/17 Pg 20 of 92

Pg ID 7368

at least 2 written requests, by U.S. mail, to property owners at the most recent mailing address identified through city records, for permission to replace the service line at that household. The City shall keep records that show the dates on which such written requests were sent, the address of the replacement eligible household, and the address of the property owner of such household (if different). b.

A property owner who refuses permission to replace the portion of the service line lying beneath his or her property shall have 3 months from the date he or she initially declines replacement to grant the City permission to replace the portion of the service line lying beneath his or her property. To ensure that there is sufficient time to replace the service lines of property owners and residents whose permission is sought in the last year of the 3-year period set forth in Paragraph 20, the City shall contact the property owners and residents at all replacement eligible households to seek permission to conduct excavation and replacement within 18 months of the Effective Date or prior to the Year 3 Cutoff Date, whichever is later.

Pg ID 7369

maintain records of the addresses of all replacement eligible households at which the property owner refuses permission to replace a service line (“Refusal List�). When a resident activates a new water account at any time within 18 months of the Effective Date or prior to the Year 3 Cutoff Date, whichever is later, the City shall determine whether the address is on the Refusal List. If the address is on the Refusal List, the City shall undertake reasonable efforts to obtain permission from the account holder to replace the service line. Reasonable efforts shall include sending at least two written requests. If permission is granted, the City shall replace the service line at no cost to the new property owner within the timeline described in Paragraph 20. If a new water account is activated more than 18 months after the Effective Date or after the Year 3 Cutoff Date, whichever is later, the City must send a written notice to the new account holder that the household’s service line material was not verified during City-wide service line excavation and replacement in 2017 through 2020, and that the service line may contain lead or galvanized steel. 17.

Prohibition on Partial Service Line Replacements. Because partial

lead service line replacement is frequently associated with short-term elevated lead levels in drinking water, if the City discovers that the entire length of a service line (from the main line to the curb box to the household water meter) is composed of lead or galvanized steel or a combination thereof, but the property owner refuses to 17


2:16-cv-10277-DML-SDD Doc # 147-1 Filed 03/27/17 Pg 22 of 92

Pg ID 7370

grant the City permission to replace the portion of the service line lying beneath private property, the City shall not replace any portion of the service line. The City shall maintain a list of such households where a lead or galvanized steel service line is discovered but not replaced, and shall record the known existence of a lead or galvanized steel service line in the City records for each such household. 18.

Ability to opt in. The Parties agree that there may be some households

in the City that are currently unoccupied and do not have an active water account, but at which the property owner may want to have the service line replaced. To facilitate replacement of service lines at these households, the City shall make available on its website a form permitting property owners to opt in to the service line replacement program under this Section (Section IV.A). Property owners may opt in to the replacement program under this Paragraph at any time within 18 months of the Effective Date or prior to the Year 3 Cutoff Date, whichever is later. The City shall maintain a list of all property owners who have completed the form, and shall undertake reasonable efforts to contact those property owners to seek permission to replace the service lines at those households. The City may require property owners that seek to opt in under this Paragraph to create an active water account. B.

To the extent any Party does not concur with the findings in the City’s statement, any Party may initiate the dispute resolution process described in Section XIII. No monies will be released pursuant to Paragraph 31 until the resolution of any dispute arising under this Paragraph. 31.

Release of Reserve Monies. If the Allocated Monies will be sufficient

to complete the excavations and service line replacements of all lead and galvanized steel service lines in the City, based on the evaluation conducted under Paragraph 29, then the Reserve Monies must no longer be retained as required under Paragraph 27 and will be distributed to the City for the purposes identified in section 2201(b) of, and in accordance with, the WIIN Act. 32.

Obligation to seek additional funds. If, based on the evaluation 26


2:16-cv-10277-DML-SDD Doc # 147-1 Filed 03/27/17 Pg 31 of 92

Pg ID 7379

conducted pursuant to Paragraph 29, it is reasonably likely that the Allocated Monies and Reserve Monies will be insufficient to complete the 18,000 excavations and replacements identified in Paragraphs 8-18 plus any additional excavations and replacements identified, State Parties shall undertake all reasonable efforts to secure additional monies (including, if necessary, seeking appropriations from the Michigan State Legislature) sufficient to reimburse the City for costs related to the excavations and replacements described in Paragraphs 8-20 at replacement eligible households. Any additional monies secured by State Parties under this Paragraph shall be made available for reimbursement or payment under Paragraph 23. State Parties shall undertake the reasonable efforts required under this Paragraph and shall provide Plaintiffs with a written report documenting such efforts and the results within 90 days of Plaintiffs’ concurrence or the resolution of any disputes under Paragraph 30. 33.

Obligation to replace additional service lines. If, based on the

evaluation conducted pursuant to Paragraph 29, it is reasonably likely that there were more than 18,000 lead and galvanized steel service lines at replacement eligible households in the City as of the Effective Date, then the milestones in Paragraph 20 shall be modified and the City shall complete excavation and replacement of the updated total number of estimated lead and galvanized steel service lines in the City within 3 years of the Effective Date. If additional monies 27

b.

A resident refuses inspection: A resident refuses inspection when the CORE team makes personal contact with a resident of the household, and upon an attempt by the CORE team to conduct the Filter Inspection and Education set forth in Paragraph 77, the resident refuses CORE staff entry into the household. In such circumstances, the CORE team shall attempt to leave with the resident a door hanger as described in Paragraph 75 and any written educational information as described in Paragraph 77.c.iv, and shall document whether a Follow-up Visit is appropriate. A Follow-Up Visit is appropriate unless the CORE team determines, based on personal contact with the resident, that a Follow-up Visit to that household would be rejected by the resident. In such circumstances, the CORE team shall document the reasons for that determination, and the household is no longer a CORE 41

XIII. Dispute Resolution and Judicial Enforcement 125. This Agreement provides for dispute resolution, which is the sole and exclusive mechanism to resolve disputes and disagreements arising under this Agreement, except where specifically stated otherwise. Except as provided for in this Agreement, the Parties may not otherwise petition the Court for relief for violations of this Agreement, or bring a new action for breach of this Agreement. 126. The Parties stipulate that the Court has jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this Agreement. 127. The Parties will make all reasonable efforts to resolve disputes and disagreements regarding the meaning of, compliance with, and/or implementation of this Agreement informally and in good faith prior to seeking any relief from the Court. 128. If a Party has a dispute concerning the meaning of, compliance with, and/or implementation of this Agreement, that Party will send written notice to all other Parties specifying the nature of the dispute. 71


2:16-cv-10277-DML-SDD Doc # 147-1 Filed 03/27/17 Pg 76 of 92

Pg ID 7424

129. Within 14 days of the date of the transmission of written notice under Paragraph 128, the Parties will meet and confer in a good faith attempt to resolve the dispute without soliciting the Court’s involvement. As part of the meet and confer, the Parties will comply with reasonable requests from another Party or Parties for information and documents related to the dispute, and will, upon request by another Party or Parties, provide reasonable access to client representatives with knowledge related to the dispute. 130. If the Parties are unable to resolve any dispute or disagreement pursuant to Paragraphs 125-129, any Party or Parties may file a motion with the Court to enforce this Agreement. Any Party that intends to file a motion to enforce the Agreement must provide all other Parties with written notice of such intent at least 7 days prior to filing any such motion. XIV. Force Majeure 131. A Party’s obligation to comply with one or more provisions of this Agreement will be deferred for the duration of a delay in compliance caused by force majeure or impossibility. For purposes of this Agreement, “force majeure” includes any war, fire, earthquake, flood, or other natural disaster, any restraint by court order, or public authority, or any labor strike, work stoppage, contractor delay, or lack of availability of services that could not have been reasonably foreseen and prevented by the Party’s exercise of due diligence. “Impossibility” 72


2:16-cv-10277-DML-SDD Doc # 147-1 Filed 03/27/17 Pg 77 of 92

Pg ID 7425

means an event or circumstances beyond the Party’s reasonable control that precludes timely compliance with one or more provisions of the Agreement and that could not have been reasonably foreseen and prevented by the Party’s exercise of due diligence. “Due diligence” includes anticipating and/or addressing the effects of any force majeure or impossibility to prevent or minimize any resulting delay or non-compliance. 132. Any delay in compliance caused by a Party’s failure to make all reasonable efforts to comply with the terms of this Agreement will not be considered to be circumstances beyond that Party’s control. 133. Any delay in a Party’s compliance with a specific provision of this Agreement due to force majeure or impossibility will not excuse or delay compliance with any other terms of this Agreement that are unaffected by the force majeure or impossibility. 134. A Party that seeks to claim force majeure or impossibility (a “Claiming Party”) will provide written notice to all other Parties (“Notified Parties”) within 14 days of the date that the Claiming Party first knew, or by the exercise of due diligence should have known, that an event or circumstance caused or will cause a delay in compliance with this Agreement. For purposes of the obligations under Paragraphs 19-20 only, the City must provide such written notice within 45 days. The notice will describe the reason for the anticipated non73


2:16-cv-10277-DML-SDD Doc # 147-1 Filed 03/27/17 Pg 78 of 92

Pg ID 7426

compliance and specifically refer to this Section of the Agreement. The notice will also describe, to the extent known, the anticipated length of time the delay is expected to persist, the cause or causes of the delay, the measures taken or to be taken by the Claiming Party to prevent or minimize delay, the schedule by which those measures will be implemented, and the anticipated date of compliance. 135. Each Notified Party will provide written notice to all Parties of its position regarding the Claiming Party’s assertion of force majeure or impossibility within 14 days of receipt of written notice under Paragraph 134. 136. If the Notified Parties agree that any delay or impediment to performance has been or will be caused by force majeure, the Parties will agree in writing to a reasonable modification of all requirements affected by the force majeure or impossibility. 137. If any Notified Party disagrees with any notice served by a Claiming Party under Paragraph 134 or the explanation of force majeure or impossibility therein, or if the Parties cannot agree on new terms for compliance, any Party may invoke the dispute resolution procedures described in Section XIII. XV. Modification 138. The Parties may, subject to Court approval, modify the terms of this Agreement by written agreement. The Parties shall file a joint stipulation and notice to the Court for any such modification. Upon the reasonable request of any 74


2:16-cv-10277-DML-SDD Doc # 147-1 Filed 03/27/17 Pg 79 of 92

Pg ID 7427

Party, the Parties will jointly request expedited consideration of such joint stipulation and notice from the Court. No modification of this Agreement may be made absent joint stipulation of all the Parties and a Court order. XVI. Dismissal and Waiver of Appeal 139. The Parties agree that the Court has jurisdiction over this Case pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 300j-8 and 28 U.S.C. § 1331. The Parties will submit a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(2), in the form attached as Exhibit J. The Parties’ stipulation is contingent on the Court’s entry of an order first incorporating the terms of this Agreement and retaining jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this Agreement until the Termination Date. If the Court declines to incorporate the terms of this Agreement or retain such jurisdiction, this Agreement is not effective and any stipulation of dismissal is null and void. 140. All Parties to this Agreement consent to enforcement of this Agreement in the Court and under the terms set forth in the Agreement. All Parties waive any jurisdictional challenges to the Court’s exercise of jurisdiction to enforce the Agreement. Notwithstanding this paragraph, State Parties only waive any applicable Eleventh Amendment immunity to the extent necessary to enforce this Agreement. 141. All Parties agree that the Court’s incorporation of this Agreement into 75


2:16-cv-10277-DML-SDD Doc # 147-1 Filed 03/27/17 Pg 80 of 92

Pg ID 7428

an order dismissing this Case with prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(2) shall supersede the relief ordered in the Court’s preliminary injunction order of November 10, 2016, ECF No. 96, and supersede all relief previously ordered in this Case. 142. No appeal shall be taken from the Court’s incorporation of this Agreement into an order dismissing this Case with prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(2). This provision does not preclude any Party from appealing a subsequent order of the Court. 143. Within 3 business days of the Effective Date, State Defendants will file a motion pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 42(b) to dismiss their appeal currently pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, Case No. 16-2628. Plaintiffs and City Defendants agree not to oppose that motion. XVII. Signatories and Counterparts 144. Each signatory to this Agreement certifies that he or she is fully authorized to enter into this Agreement, to agree to its terms and conditions, and to execute and legally bind the Party he or she represents. 145. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts. XVIII.

Integration Clause

agreement and understanding between the Parties, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, with respect to this Case. No other document, nor any representation, agreement, understanding, or promise is part of this Agreement, nor may such be used in construing the terms of this Agreement. 147. This Agreement was jointly drafted by the Parties. The Parties accordingly agree that any and all rules of construction to the effect that ambiguity is construed against the drafting party shall be inapplicable in any dispute concerning the terms, meaning, or interpretation of this Agreement.

INTRODUCTION Information about the City of Flint The City of Flint (the City, or COF), incorporated in 1855, is located in the eastern part of the State of Michigan. The City currently occupies a land area of 32.8 square miles and serves a population of 111,475 (2010 Census Estimate). The City is empowered to levy a property tax on both real and personal properties located within its boundaries, as well as a 1% income tax for those who live within the City limits, or .5% for those who only work within the City limits. The City does not collect a fee from its residents; however, a three percent (3%) millage is assessed on properties within the City’s boundaries. The City has operated under the strong mayor- Council form of government since November 4, 1975, when the present charter was adopted. Legislative authority is vested in a City Council consisting of nine members elected for a four-year term (no term limits), from each of the nine wards in the City. The City Council is responsible for passing ordinances, adopting the annual budget, approving resolutions, appointing committees, and other responsibilities as outlined in the City’s Code of Ordinances. The Mayor is an elected official who serves as the chief executive officer of the City for a four-year term, in which he/she may be re-elected for additional terms. The Mayor may appoint a City Administrator to handle the day-to-dayoperations for the municipality. On November 29, 2011, the governor of Michigan appointed an emergency manager, pursuant to Public Act 4 of 2011, to handle all of the day-to-day operations for the City. Considerable progress was made in reducing the deficit, whereas by June 30, 2015 a positive fund balance was realized. As a result of many financial achievements of the City, Governor Snyder has declared that the City’s financial emergency has been resolved. With oversight from a receivership transition advisory board (RTAB), City operations have returned have been partially returned to the Mayor and Charter-designated leaders. Water Line Replacement Proiect An analysis of service lines has been performed for the City and it has been determined that there is a need to replace said service lines in different areas of the City. The focus of the replacement will be in neighborhoods with the greatest density of lead and galvanized service lines. Replacement of these service lines has been determined to be the best remedy in restoring the integrity of the drinking water system. It is most recently estimated that there could be as many as 29,100 non-copper (partial or full) water service lines in the City of Flint. Approximately 22,500 of these could be to occupied parcels. This data will be continuously updated for later phases of service line replacement. The City has received funding from the State and Federal Government for this project. Please note that contractors will have to comply with state and federal terms and conditions that are included in this proposal as articulated in Exhibit E. Contractors must review, comply, complete, and submit the appropriate documents that are included in this exhibit. This RFP is for the fourth phase of service line removal which will include the removal and replacement of lead and galvanized service lines to as many homes as possible, with the goal to replace as many lead and galvanized lines as possible prior to the end of 2017. The City has designated the areas for service line replacement based upon a combination of the criteria discussed above as well as census data and water sample results. —

The City will continue to validate the accuracy of the City Water Department records on the composition of the residential service lines as well as gain further needed knowledge on the depth of the lines, soil composition, age of homes most likely to have a lead service line, the methods used for original line installation, the effects of the corrosivity on service lines, and to better assess the method and costs of service line replacement. Thus, successful bidders will be required to cooperate in data collection on all replacement locations. Scope of Work Requested Services The City is seeking a General Contractor, or the like, that has at least five (5) years’ worth of experience in replacing service lines in order to perform the replacement of service lines to various residential homes/buildings located within the City of Flint. The selected vendor will have a designated individual who will perform as a “project manager,” or like, in which the City will provide direction and receive timely updates as to vendor’s progress on this project. This project work shall consist of replacing service lines by excavating streets and/or yard areas, removing existing lines, installing copper water service lines, extending service lines into the interior of houses, patching pipe penetration, and temporary restoration. Vendors should be capable of installing water service lines using trenchless technology and equipment. Vendors may submit proposals that utilizes a different methodology as described in this RFP, however, said methodology will have to be approved by the City and the vendor will have to articulate the full process in which they will install service lines within their proposal. If vendors are awarded a contract and are seeking to expand their workforce to accommodate the contract, the City encourages hiring and training (i.e. an apprentice program) residents that reside within the City’s corporate limits in order to fulfill the vendor’s requirements. .

1. Requirement All project installation work shall be completed in conformance with the general conditions and construction specifications established by the City of Flint, Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and any other provisions established herein. 2. Utilities The selected Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining utility locations from the MISS DIG System. Contractor shall be responsible for conducting an evaluation to assess the nature, depth and location of all sewer mains and laterals. If the contractor uses an installation method that requires the exposing of utilities, the contractor shall solely be responsible for the cost of the excavation, hand digging, and backfilling regardless of the location of the utility. If the utility is located in a paved area, the contractor shall backfill to grade according to City of Flint standards (included). The City, or a designated contractor, will complete the paving work. 3. Subcontractors The Contractor shall submit a list of all subcontractors that may be used on the project to assist with project work. The City will certify that they have checked SAM.gov to ensure no contractors are on the federal debarment/suspension list. All subcontractors must be approved by the City, and the City reserves the right to accept or reject any subcontractor. 4. Contract Time The Contractor shall begin work immediately after receiving the notice to proceed from the City. Along with the notice to proceed, the City will provide a list of approximately half of the zone’s total locations. The contractor shall complete all line replacements of said locations at an average pace of 4.5 locations per work day. If a contractor is awarded multiple zones, a timeline shall be maintained separately for each zone, beginning with the notice to proceed for that zone, and a pace of 4.5 locations per work day shall be performed for each zone. Work day shall be considered Monday Friday excluding all City of Flint holidays. -

13. Meetings and Documentation —Vendor will be required to submit daily reports documenting their work at each location. Vendor will also be required to participate in pre-construction meetings as needed to ensure all parties are in agreement. 14. Standard Replacement Specifications -Except for excavations necessary to expose the water main and curb box, service lines shall be installed by use of trenchless technology methods unless otherwise approve by the City of Flint. The preferred method for replacing lead services is the cable method, which involves the use of a cable placed inside the existing lead service line with the new replacement copper line attached on the other side. The cable is then pulled using a winch or backhoe bucket to remove the old service line while pulling in the new copper line. This process is used separately for the service line between the main and curb box and between the curb box and house. If the old service line cannot be removed by the cable method, the new service line would need to be installed by use of boring equipment. A. From Water Main to Curb Box (Public Partial) For non-standard service lines located between the water main and curb box, the vendor shall excavate the service line at two locations; at the water main, which is typically located beneath the street pavement, and at the curb box, typically located near the sidewalk. The old service line will then be disconnected at the water main and curb stop and a new copper service line is then installed. The new copper service line will then be connected to the old corporation valve on the existing water main using appropriate adaptors and fittings. Existing corporations are typically Vi’ in diameter and transition fittings may be required for connection to the new service lines. If a standard service line (copper) exists between the curb box and house/building, the vendor will connect the new service line to the existing curb box after first flushing the new service line from main to curb box. The City is requiring that vendor replace the curb stop at these locations. B. From Curb Box to House (Private Partial) For non-standard lines located between the existing curb box and house, the vendor shall excavate and replace the curb stop/box, which is typically located near the sidewalk or property line. The water service line inside the house/building on the inlet side of the water meter shall also be disconnected by the vendor. The opening in the wall at the location where the service line extends through the foundation of the house/building shall then be enlarged by the contractor if necessary. The new copper service line will then be installed between the house and curb box. The vendor shall extend the new service line into the home/building and connect the line 18

All bids shall include all work necessary, as detailed in this document, to excavate, install and restore service lines of the designated lengths. Construction Example The construction of an “Average” Full Replacement would consist of excavating, installing 30’ of pipe from Curb Stop to main, installing 40’ of pipe from Curb Stop to residential home connecting to water meter, installing of new curb stop with fittings and stop box, curb cut (10’XlO’), proper testing/flushing performed to validate site operational, backfilling and restoration. —

The assigned locations will be a mixture of partial (curb stop to home or watermain) and full (watermain to home) replacements. Every type of installation will require a new curb stop and box. Distances for payment will be measured in horizontal perpendicular distance from the watermain to the curb stop or house meter (or curb stop to meter for a private side partial). Actual distance allowances may be granted for significant variances such as avoiding a tree, curb box relocations at the request of the Water Services Dept., and unavoidable angles causing a difference more than fifteen (15) feet from perpendicular. All changes shall be approved by Water Services and recorded on their Certificate of Acceptance. Each bid includes the service line, curb stop & box, and any necessary connections/adaptors to make the connections at the watermain, curb stop and house, depending on if it is a full replacement or a partial. Service lines 1.5” and greater include a new corporation and re-tapping of the watermain. No allowance for varying difficulty of installation, material costs, etc. will be granted unless specifically listed or stated in this RFP. Cost per Foot for Water Service Line Replacement _______

employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year. Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health—related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health—related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EQ is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts. Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii))

The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of “identifiers” that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local) a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate) Union Rate Identifiers A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than “SU” or “UAVG” denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example: PLUMO19B—005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014. Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CPA) governing this classification and rate. Survey Rate Identifiers Classifications listed under the T’SUT’ identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that https)A.wt1oI.go\A~dcUscaflIes/daAsbacorb’M I57.ctvb?~0

classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non—union rates. Example: SULA2O12—007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted. Union Average Rate Identifiers Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG—OH—0010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. A tJAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based.

Labor Standards Provisions for Federally Assisted Projects

§ 5.5 Contract provisions and related matters. (a) The Agency head shall cause or require the contracting officer to insert in full in any contract in excess of $2,000 which is entered into for the actual construction, alteration and/or repair, including painting and decorating, of a public building or public work, or building or work financed in whole or in part from Federal funds or in accordance with guarantees of a Federal agency or financed from funds obtained by pledge of any contract of a Federal agency to make a loan, grant or annual contribution (except where a different meaning is expressly indicated), and which is subject to the labor standards provisions of any of the acts listed in Sec. 5.1, the following clauses (or any modifications thereof to meet the particular needs of the agency, Provided, That such modifications are first approved by the Department of Labor): (1) Minimum wages. (i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or development of the project), 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 issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR part 3)), the full amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment computed at rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor and such laborers and mechanics. Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under section 1 (b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph (a)(1 )(iv) of this section; also, 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 Sec. 5.5(a)(4). 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. The wage determination (including any additional classification and wage rates conformed under paragraph (a)(1 )(ii) of this section) and the Davis-Bacon poster (WH-1 321) 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. (H)(A) The contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics, including helpers, which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. The contracting officer shall approve an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when the following criteria have been met: (1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification

in the wage determination; and 3 Rev. 3/2015

Pg ID 7536

(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and (3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination. (B) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or their representatives, and the contracting officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by the contracting officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, DC 20210. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary. (C) In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification or their representatives, and the contracting officer do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the contracting officer shall refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the contracting officer, to the Administrator for determination. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary. (D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to paragraphs (a)(1)(ii) (B) or (C) of this section, shall be paid to all workers performing work in the classification under this contract from the first day on which work is performed in the classification. (Ni) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof. (iv) If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the contractor may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, Provided, That the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the contractor, that the applicable standards of the Davis-Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program. (2) Withholding. The (write in name of Federal Agency or the loan or grant recipient) shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor under this contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, which is held by the same prime contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed by the contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by the contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or working on the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 4

1949 in the construction or development of the project), all or part of the wages required by the contract, the (Agency) may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased. (3) Payrolls and basic records. (i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the contractor during the course of the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937, or under the Housing Act of 1949, in the construction or development of the project). Such records shall contain the name, address, and social security number of each such worker, his or her correct classification, hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in section 1 (b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions made and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1 )(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in section 1 (b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, the contractor shall maintain records which show that the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits. Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs. (ii)(A) The contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any contract work is performed a copy of all payrolls to the (write in name of appropriate federal agency) if the agency is a party to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the contractor will submit the payrolls to the applicant, sponsor, or owner, as the case may be, for transmission to the (write in name of agency). The payrolls submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i), except that full social security numbers and home addresses shall not be included on weekly transmittals. Instead the payrolls shall only need to include an individually identifying number for each employee (e.g., the last four digits of the employee’s social security number). The required weekly payroll information may be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH-347 is available for this purpose from the Wage and Hour Division Web site at http://www.dotpov/whd/forms/wh347.pdf or its successor site. The prime contractor is responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors. Contractors and subcontractors shall maintain the full social security number and current address of each covered worker, and shall provide them upon request to the (write in name of appropriate federal agency) if the agency is a party to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the contractor will submit them to the applicant, sponsor, or owner, as the case may be, for transmission to the (write in name of agency), the contractor, or the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor for purposes of an investigation or audit of compliance with prevailing wage requirements. It is not a violation of this section for a prime contractor to require a subcontractor to provide addresses and social security numbers to the prime contractor for its own records, without weekly submission to the sponsoring government agency (or the applicant, sponsor, or owner). (B) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a “Statement of Compliance,� signed by the contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons employed under the contract and shall certify the following: 5 Rev. 3/2015

(1)That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be provided under Sec. 5.5 (a)(3)(ii) of Regulations, 29 CFR parts, the appropriate information is being maintained under Sec. 5.5 (a)(3)(i) of Regulations, 29 CFR part 5, and that such information is correct and complete; (2) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper, apprentice, and trainee) employed on the contract during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages earned, without rebate, either directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been made either directly or indirectly from the full wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set forth in Regulations, 29 CFR part 3; (3) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the classification of work performed, as specified in the applicable wage determination incorporated into the contract. (C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional Form WH-347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the “Statement of Compliance� required by paragraph (a)(3)(ii)(B) of this section. (D) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under section 1001 of title 18 and section 231 of title 31 of the United States Code. (iii) The contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph (a)(3)(i) of this section available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of the (write the name of the agency) or the Department of Labor, and shall permit such representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job. If the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make them available, the Federal agency may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the’required records upon request or to make such records available may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12. (4) Apprentices and trainees--(i) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its

program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman’s hourly rate) specified in the contractor’s or subcontractor’s registered program shall be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice’s level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the event the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved. (ii) Trainees.

Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) Prime contractors bidding on this project must follow, document, and maintain documentation of their Good Faith Efforts, as listed below, to ensure that Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs) have the opportunity to participate in the project by increasing DBE awareness of procurement efforts and outreach. Bidders must make the following Good Faith Efforts for any work that will be subcontracted. 1.

Ensure DBEs are made aware of contracting opportunities to the fullest extent practicable through outreach and recruitment activities. Place DBEs on solicitation lists and solicit DBEs whenever they are potential sources.

2.

Make information on forthcoming opportunities available to DBEs. Arrange timeframes for contracts and establish delivery schedules, where the requirements permit, in a way that encourages and facilitates participation by DBE5 in the competitive process. Whenever possible, post solicitation for bids or proposals for a minimum of 30 calendar days before the bid or proposal closing date. The DBEs should be given a minimum of 5 days to respond to the posting.

3.

Consider in the contracting process whether firms competing for large contracts can be subcontracted with DBEs. Divide total requirements, when economically feasible, into smaller tasks or quantities to permit maximum participation by DBEs in the competitive process.

4.

Encourage contracting with a consortium of DBEs when a contract is too large for one DBE firm to handle individually.

5.

Use the services and assistance of the Small BusinessAdministration and the Minority Business Development Agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Subsequent to compliance with the Good Faith Efforts, the following conditions also apply under the DBE requirements. Completed Good Faith Efforts Worksheets (Attachment 1), along with the required supporting documentation outlined in the instructions, must be submitted with your bid proposal. EPA form 6100-2 must also be provided at the pre-bid meeting. A copy of this form is available on the Forms and Guidance page of the Revolving Loan website. 1.

The prime contractor must pay its subcontractor for work that has been satisfactorily completed no more than 30 days from the prime contractor’s receipt of payment from the owner.

2.

The prime contractor must notify the owner in writing prior to the termination of any DBE subcontractor for convenience by the prime contractor and employ the Good Faith Efforts if soliciting a replacement contractor.

3.

If a DBE contractor fails to complete work under the subcontract for any reason, the prime contractor must employ the Good Faith Efforts if soliciting a replacement contractor.

4.

The prime contractor must employ the Good Faith Efforts.

Michigan Department of Environmental Quality Office of Drinking Water and Municipal Assistance— Revolving Loan Section Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Utilization State Revolving Fund/Drinking Water Revolving Fund GOOD FAITH EFFORTS WORKSHEET Instructions to Bidders for the Completion of the Good Faith Efforts Worksheet Separate worksheets must be provided for each area of work to be subcontracted out. This includes both major and minor subcontracts. A minimum of three (3) DBEs must be contacted by a verifiable means of communication such as e-mail, letter, or fax for each area of work to be subcontracted out. Copies of the solicitation letters/e-mails and fax confirmation sheets must be provided with the worksheet. If less that three (3) DUEs exist statewide for the area of work, then provide documentation that other DUE resources were consulted. This may include the MDOT and www.sam.gov registries and an advertisement is a publication. A printout of the website searched (conducted prior to the end of the bid period) must be submitted. Posting solicitations for quotes/proposals from DUEs on the MITA website (www.mitadbe.com) is highly recommended to facilitate participation in the competitive process whenever possible. The solicitation needs to identify the project and the areas of work to be subcontracted out. A copy of the MITA DUE advertisement must be submitted with the Good Faith Efforts worksheet, if used, or a printout of the resulting quotes posted to the MITA website can be submitted with this form as supporting documentation. If the area of work is so specialized that no DBEs exist, then an explanation is required to support that conclusion, including the documentation required in No. 3 above. The date of the DUE contact must be identified, as it is important to document that the DBE solicitation was made during the bid period and that sufficient time was given for the DUE to return a quote. Each DUE firm’s price quote must be identified if one was received or N/A entered on the worksheet if a quote was not received. Copies of all quotes must be submitted with the worksheet. 8.

If a quote was received, indicate if it was accepted or rejected. Justification for not accepting a quote and not using the DUE subcontractor must be provided.

Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Requirements Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Contractor Compliance Q: What is the Good Faith Efforts Worksheet form and how is it to be completed? A: This form captures efforts by the prime contractor to solicit DBEs for each area of work type that will be subcontracted out. A separate Good Faith Efforts Worksheet must be provided by the prime contractor for each area of work type to be subcontracted out. There are specific instructions that accompany this form that prescribe minimum efforts which bidders must make in order to be in compliance with the OBE requirements. Q: Can non-certified DBEs be used? A: While non-certified DBEs can be used, only OBEs, MBEs, and WBEs that are certified by EPA, SBA, or MDOT (or by tribal, state and local governments, as long as their standards for certification meet or exceed the standards in EPA policy) can be counted toward the fair share goal. Proof of certification by one of these recognized and approved agencies should be sought from each OBE. Q: How does a DBE get certified? A: Applications for certification under MDOT can be found at http://mdotiboss.state.mi.us/UCP/LearnHowServlet. Applications for certification under EPA can be found on EPA’s Small Business Programs website at htt :Ilwww.e a. ov/osb /dbe fimi.htm under Certification Forms. 0: If a bidder follows the MDOT DBE requirements, will the bidder be in compliance with the SRF/DWRF DBE requirements? A: No. Federally funded highway projects utilize DBE goals, which require that a certain percentage of work be performed by DBE subcontractors. For SRF/DWRF projects~, there is no financial goal. However, there is a solicitation effort goal. Bidders must use Good Faith Efforts for each and every area of work to be subcontracted out to obtain DBEs. The bidders are not required to use DBEs if the quotes are higher than non-DBE subcontractors. There is no required DBE participation percentage contract goal for the SRFIDWRF. However, if the SRF/DWRF project is part of a joint project with MDOT, the project can be excluded from SRF/DWRF DBE requirements (i.e., the Good Faith Efforts Worksheet is not required) as it would be difficult to comply with both programs’ requirements. Q. Must the Good Faith Efforts Worksheet and supporting documentation be turned in with the bid proposals? A: Yes. This is a requirement to document that the contractor has complied with the DBE requirements and the Good Faith Efforts. These compliance efforts must be done during the bidding phase and not after-the-fact. It is highly recommended that the need for these efforts and the submittal of the forms with the bid proposals be emphasized at the pre-bid meetings. Failure to show that the Good Faith Efforts were complied with during the bidding process can lead to a prime contractor being found non-responsive. Q: Does EPA form 6100-2 need to be provided at the pre-bid meeting? A: Yes. The form must be made available at the pre-bid meeting.


2:16-cv-10277-DML-SDD Doc # 147-2 Filed 03/27/17 Pg 112 of 211

Pg ID 7552

Q: What kinds of documentation should a contractor provide to document solicitation efforts? A: Documentation can include fax confirmation sheets, copies of solicitation letters/e-mails, printouts of online solicitations, printouts of online search results, affidavits of publication in newspapers, etc. Q: How much time will compliance with the Good Faith Efforts require in terms of structuring an adequate bidding period? A: Due to the extent of the efforts required, a minimum of 30 calendar days is recommended between bid posting and bid opening to ensure adequate time for contractors to locate certified DBEs and solicit quotes. Q: How does a contractor locate certified DBEs? A: The Michigan Department of Transportation has a directory of all Michigan certified entities located at http://mdotiboss.state.mi.us/UCP/. Additionally, the federal System for Award Management (SAM) is another place to search and can be found at www.sam.pov. SAM contains information from the former Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database. Q: If the bidder does not intend to subcontract any work, what forms, if any, must be provided with the bid proposal? A: The bidder should complete the Good Faith Efforts Worksheet with a notation that no subcontracting will be done. However, if the bidder is awarded the contract and then decides to subcontract work at any point, then the Good Faith Efforts must be made to solicit DBEs. Q: In the perfect world, the Good Faith Efforts Worksheet is required to be turned in with the proposal. What if no forms are turned in with the bid proposal or forms are blank or incomplete? Should this be cause to determine that the bidder is non-responsive? A: While the Good Faith Efforts Worksheet is important, it is more critical to confirm that the contractor complied with the DBE requirements prior to bid opening. The owner should contact the bidder as soon as deficiencies are noted for a determination/documentation of efforts taken to comply with the DEE requirements. Immediate submittal of the completed forms will be acceptable provided the Good Faith Efforts were made and it is just a mailer of transferring information to the forms. Q: If the prime contractor is a DEE, does he have to solicit DEE subcontractors? A: Yes, the DEE requirements still apply if the prime intends to subcontract work out. Good Faith Efforts must be used to solicit DBE5. Q: If the area of work is one where there are less than three DEE contractors, how is the contractor to document this? A: Copies of printouts from MDOT and SAM showing no DBEs and advertisements soliciting quotes for all subcontract areas, including the questionable areas, will be adequate if the dates on the printouts are prior to the bid or proposal closing date.

INTRODUCTION Information about the City of Flint The City of Flint (the City, or COF), incorporated in 1855, is located in the eastern part of the State of Michigan. The City currently occupies a land area of 32.8 square miles and serves a population of 111,475 (2010 Census Estimate). The City is empowered to levy a property tax on both real and personal properties located within its boundaries, as well as a 1% income tax for those who live within the City limits, or .5% for those who only work within the City limits. The City does not collect a fee from its residents; however, a three percent (3%) millage is assessed on properties within the City’s boundaries. The City has operated under the strong mayor- Council form of government since November 4, 1975, when the present charter was adopted. Legislative authority is vested in a City Council consisting of nine members elected for a four-year term (no term limits), from each of the nine wards in the City. The City Council is responsible for passing ordinances, adopting the annual budget, approving resolutions, appointing committees, and other responsibilities as outlined in the City’s Code of Ordinances. The Mayor is an elected official who serves as the chief executive officer of the City for a four-year term, in which he/she may be re-elected for additional terms. The Mayor may appoint a City Administrator to handle the day-to-dayoperations for the municipality. On November 29, 2011, the governor of Michigan appointed an emergency manager, pursuant to Public Act 4 of 2011, to handle all of the day-to-day operations for the City. Considerable progress was made in reducing the deficit, whereas by June 30, 2015 a positive fund balance was realized. As a result of many financial achievements of the City, Governor Snyder has declared that the City’s financial emergency has been resolved. With oversight from a receivership transition advisory board (RTAB), City operations have returned have been partially returned to the Mayor and Charter-designated leaders. Water Line Replacement Project An analysis of service lines has been performed for the City and it has been determined that there is a need to replace said service lines in different areas of the City. The focus of the replacement will be in neighborhoods with the greatest density of lead and galvanized service lines. Replacement of these service lines has been determined to be the best remedy in restoring the integrity of the drinking water system. It is most recently estimated that there could be as many as 29,100 non-copper (partial or full) water service lines in the City of Flint. Approximately 22,500 of these could be to occupied parcels. This data will be continuously updated for later phases of service line replacement. The City has received funding from the State and Federal Government for this project. Please note that contractors will have to comply with state and federal terms and conditions that are included in this proposal as articulated in Exhibit E. Contractors must review, comply, complete, and submit the appropriate documents that are included in this exhibit. This REP is for the fourth phase of service line removal which will include the removal and replacement of lead and galvanized service lines to as many homes as possible, with the goal to replace as many lead and galvanized lines as possible prior to the end of 2017. The City has designated the areas for service line replacement based upon a combination of the criteria discussed above as well as census data and water sample results. —

The City will continue to validate the accuracy of the City Water Department records on the composition of the residential service lines as well as gain further needed knowledge on the depth of the lines, soil composition, age of homes most likely to have a lead service line, the methods used for original line installation, the effects of the corrosivity on service lines, and to better assess the method and costs of service line replacement. Thus, successful bidders will be required to cooperate in data collection on all replacement locations. Scope of Work Requested Services The City is seeking a General Contractor, or the like, that has at least five (5) years’ worth of experience in replacing service lines in order to perform the replacement of service lines to various residential homes/buildings located within the City of Flint. The selected vendor will have a designated individual who will perform as a “project manager,” or like, in which the City will provide direction and receive timely updates as to vendor’s progress on this project. This project work shall consist of replacing service lines by excavating streets and/or yard areas, removing existing lines, installing copper water service lines, extending service lines into the interior of houses, patching pipe penetration, and temporary restoration. Vendors should be capable of installing water service lines using trenchless technology and equipment. Vendors may submit proposals that utilizes a different methodology as described in this RFP, however, said methodology will have to be approved by the City and the vendor will have to articulate the full process in which they will install service lines within their proposal. If vendors are awarded a contract and are seeking to expand their workforce to accommodate the contract, the City encourages hiring and training (i.e. an apprentice program) residents that reside within the City’s corporate limits in order to fulfill the vendor’s requirements. .

13. Meetings and Documentation —Vendor will be required to submit daily reports documenting their work at each location. Vendor will also be required to participate in pre-construction meetings as needed to ensure all parties are in agreement. 14. Standard Replacement Specifications -Except for excavations necessary to expose the water main and curb box, service lines shall be installed by use of trenchiess technology methods unless otherwise approve by the City of Flint The preferred method for replacing lead services is the cable method, which involves the use of a cable placed inside the existing lead service line with the new replacement copper line attached on the other side. The cable is then pulled using a winch or backhoe bucket to remove the old service line while pulling in the new copper line. This process is used separately for the service line between the main and curb box and between the curb box and house. If the old service line cannot be removed by the cable method, the new service line would need to be installed by use of boring equipment. A. From Water Main to Curb Box (Public Partial) For non-standard service lines located between the water main and curb box, the vendor shall excavate the service line at two locations; at the water main, which is typically located beneath the street pavement, and at the curb box, typically located near the sidewalk. The old service line will then be disconnected at the water main and curb stop and a new copper service line is then installed. The new copper service line will then be connected to the old corporation valve on the existing water main using appropriate adaptors and fittings. Existing corporations are typically 34� in diameter and transition fittings may be required for connection to the new service lines. If a standard service line (copper) exists between the curb box and house/building, the vendor will connect the new service line to the existing curb box after first flushing the new service line from main to curb box. The City is requiring that vendor replace the curb stop at these locations. B. From Curb Box to House (Private Partial) For non-standard lines located between the existing curb box and house, the vendor shall excavate and replace the curb stop/box, which is typically located near the sidewalk or property line. The water service line inside the house/building on the inlet side of the water meter shall also be disconnected by the vendor. The opening in the wall at the location where the service line extends through the foundation of the house/building shall then be enlarged by the contractor if necessary. The new copper service line will then be installed between the house and curb box. The vendor shall extend the new service line into the home/building and connect the line 18

Pg ID 7572

to the water meter. If it is necessary to use boring equipment to install the service line, the boring equipment shall bore through the foundation/basement wall of structure and the old service line shall be abandoned on the inside of the basement wall by removing at least two (2) inches of the lead service lines from within the basement wall, filling the interior of the remaining pipe with mortar. If it becomes necessary for the vendor to excavate on the outside of the building foundation to facilitate installation of the water service line, such work shall be completed in a manner that causes the least amount of disruption to yard areas and other locations near the home/building. The vendor will contact the City (the Water Service Center) in order for an inspection to be performed to ensure that work has been done correctly and to properly record the work for the City’s annals. C. From Water Main to House (Full) Where the entire water service line (water main to building) consist of non-standard materials, the vendor shall follow the installation procedures described above and also install a new curb stop valve and curb box near the sidewalk at a location approved by the City. The vendor will contact the City (the Water Service Center) in orderforan inspection to be performed to ensure that work has been done correctly and to properly record the work for the City’s annals. D. Copper Service Line Found from Water Main to House Where the entire water service line consists of standard materials (copper) from the main to the house, the vendor shall place a new curb box and restore the site to original conditions. The vendor will contact the City (the Water Service Center) in orderforan inspection to be performed to ensure that work has been done correctly and to properly record the work for the City’s annals. In all cases, prior to reconnecting the water meter, the new service line shall be thoroughly flushed with sufficient water volume and velocity to remove all foreign material from within the pipe. If material within the pipe damages or plugs a customer’s meter or service piping, the vendor shall be responsible for the cost of all, repairs to the service line and related plumbing. After reconnection of the service line, flushing protocol will commence by running an outside faucet fora period of at least fifteen minutes to further flush any fQreign material from the service line, and then flushing of all taps for at least fifteen minutes. Vendor will advise resident to continue to use filters until further notice. 15. Unusual Replacement Situations A. In the event that a shared service line is discovered, the Contractor shall place separate service lines to each home and shall be paid separately for each service line. B. In the event that an abandoned house lead is encountered, the Contractor shall cut and cap the service line to the abandoned house at the main. The Contractor shall note the abandoned home and the disposition in weekly reports. C. In the event that tree or tree roots prevent installation, a bid item for tree removal is included in this document. The bid item shall include all work necessary to eliminate the tree and roots from interfering with the installation, as well as the stump grinding or restoration necessary to bring the yard to a uniform grade. If a tree is an issue, notify the Water Services Department for a decision on whether the tree should be removed or a relocated line shall be used prior to taking action. D. In the event that a partial service line is expected, but it is found that a full replacement is needed, the Contractor shall perform a full replacement at the proper bid item price. -

E. In the event that a line is excavated and found to be copper, the Contractor shall place a new curb box, backfill and restore the excavated area. A bid item is established to pay for this situation. 16. Excavation —Vendor shall furnish all labor, equipment and materials necessary to expose all necessary appurtenances to replace the existing water service line as directed. Except where otherwise approved by the City, vendor will saw cut pavement/curb/sidewalk to an appropriate dimension to carry out the appropriate repair, and the excavation and installation process shall be performed in a manner to allow placement of the new service line at a final cover depth of (five) 5 to (six) 6 feet below finished grade regardless of the depth of the existing water service or water main. Pavement cuts are expected to be no larger than 1 O’xl 0’, curb removals no more than 10’ and sidewalk removals of no more than 2 flags. Excessive damage will not be tolerated and will be charged against the retainer. Larger removals necessary for safety shall be reviewed with City staff. The pavement sawcut shall be clean and square. If the sawcut edge is damaged during construction, it shall be re-sawcut upon construction completion. If excavated roads contain pavement bricks, the bricks shall be excavated in a manner that minimizes damage to the bricks. The bricks shall then be set in a safe location for City personnel to retrieve, and the Streets Department notified. No additional compensation will be granted for the salvaging of the bricks. Except where otherwise approved by the City, all excavations necessary to complete the water service replacement (under roadways, curbs, driveways, approaches, and sidewalks) must follow the utility trench details (see Appendix 1) to at least 95% of the materials maximum density. Compaction within the influence of water, sewer or storm lines shall be completed with a plate compactor. All such excavation shall be capped off to final grade with a minimum of 8” of 23A limestone aggregate in the thickness under sidewalks, driveways, and approaches. A minimum of 12” of 23A limestone is required under all roadways and curb lines. These temporary restorations will be maintained at the contractor’s expense until the City has performed final restoration (up to 30 days). All excavations within the lawn/green belt areas are to be backfilled with the excavated material, well graded and free of any debris. These excavations will be filled to the level of the adfficent ground and left smooth. The City or a designated contractor will perform final restoration of lawn and green belt areas. 17.

employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year. Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health—related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health—related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EQ is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts. Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii))

The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to he prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of “identifiers” that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate) Union Rate Identifiers A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than “SW’ or “UAVG” denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example: PLUMQ19S—005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014. Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate. Survey Rate Identifiers Classifications listed under the “So” identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that ~

classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non—union rates. Example: SULA2O12—007 5/13/2014. SO indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted. Union Average Rate Identifiers Classification(s) listed under the tJAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG—OH—D010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. A OAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based.

(i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or development of the project), 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 issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR part 3)), the full amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment computed at rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor and such laborers and mechanics. Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under section 1 (b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph (a)(1 )(iv) of this section; also, 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 Sec. 5.5(a)(4). 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.

(ii)(A) The contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics, including helpers, which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. The contracting officer shall approve an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when the following criteria have been met: (1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the wage determination; and 3 Rev. 3/2015

(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and (3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination. (B) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or their representatives, and the contracting officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by the contracting officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, DC 20210. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary. (C) In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification or their representatives, and the contracting officer do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the contracting officer shall refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the contracting officer, to the Administrator for determination. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary. (D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to paragraphs (a)(1)(ii) (B) or (C) of this section, shall be paid to all workers performing work in the classification under this contract from the first day on which work is performed in the classification. (Ni) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof. (iv) If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the contractor may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, Provided, That the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the contractor, that the applicable standards of the Davis-Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program. (2) Withholding. The (write in name of Federal Agency or the loan or grant recipient) shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor under this contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, which is held by the same prime contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed by the contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by the contract.

1949 in the construction or development of the project), all or part of the wages required by the contract, the (Agency) may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased. (3) Payrolls and basic records. (i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the contractor during the course of the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937, or under the Housing Act of 1949, in the construction or development of the proiect). Such records shall contain the name, address, and social security number of each such worker, his or her correct classification, hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in section 1 (b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions made and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1 )(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in section 1 (b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, the contractor shall maintain records which show that the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits. Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs. (H)(A) The contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any contract work is performed a copy of all payrolls to the (write in name of appropriate federal agency) if the agency is a party to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the contractor will submit the payrolls to the applicant, sponsor, or owner, as the case may be, for transmission to the (write in name of agency). The payrolls submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under 29 CFR &5(a)(3)(i), except that full social security numbers and home addresses shall not be included on weekly transmittals. Instead the payrolls shall only need to include an individually identifying number for each employee (e.g., the last four digits of the employee’s social security number). The required weekly payroll information may be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH-347 is available for this purpose from the Wage and Hour Division Web site at http:llwww.dotpov/whd/forms/wh347.pdf or its successor site. The prime contractor is responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors. Contractors and subcontractors shall maintain the full social security number and current address of each covered worker, and shall provide them upon request to the (write in name of appropriate federal agency) if the agency is a party to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the contractor will submit them to the applicant, sponsor, or owner, as the case may be, for transmission to the (write in name of agency), the contractor, or the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor for purposes of an investigation or audit of compliance with prevailing wage requirements. It is not a violation of this section for a prime contractor to require a subcontractor to provide addresses and social security numbers to the prime contractor for its own records, without weekly submission to the sponsoring government agency (or the applicant, sponsor, or owner). (B) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a “Statement of Compliance,� signed by the contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons employed under the contract and shall certify the following: 5 Rev. 312015

(C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional Form WH-347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the “Statement of Complianceâ€? required by paragraph (a)(3)(ii)(B) of this section. (D) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under section 1001 of title 18 and section 231 of title 31 of the United States Code. (Ăźi) The contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph (a)(3)(i) of this section available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of the (write the name of the agency) or the Department of Labor, and shall permit such representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job. If the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make them available, the Federal agency may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to sUbmit the~required records upon request or to make such records available may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12. -

(4) Apprentices and trainees--U) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed.

Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice’s level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the event the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.

The ratio of trainees to journeymen on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for the trainee’s level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of wàrk actually performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.

Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Requirements Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Contractor Compliance Q: What is the Good Faith Efforts Worksheet form and how is it to be completed? A: This form captures efforts by the prime contractor to solicit DBEs for each area of work type that will be subcontracted out. A separate Good Faith Efforts Worksheet must be provided by the prime contractor for each area of work type to be subcontracted out. There are specific instructions that accompanythis form that prescribe minimum efforts which bidders must make in order to be in compliance with the DBE requirements. Q: Can non-certified DBEs be used? A: While non-certified DBEs can be used, only DBEs, MBEs, and WBEs that are certified by EPA, SBA, or MOOT (or by tribal, state and local governments, as long as their standards for certification meet or exceed the standards in EPA policy) can be counted toward the fair share goal. Proof of certification by one of these recognized and approved agencies should be sought from each DBE. Q: How does a DBE get certified? A: Applications for certification under MDOT can be found at http://mdotjboss.state.mi.us/uCp/LearnHowse~Iet Applications for certification under EPA can be found on EPA’s Small Business Programs website at http:/Iwww.epa.pov/osbp/dbe firm.htm under Certification Forms. Q: If a bidder follows the MDOT DBE requirements, will the bidder be in compliance with the SRF/DWRF DBE requirements? A: No. Federally funded highway projects utilize DBE goals, which require that a certain percentage of work be peiformed by DBE subcontractors. For SRF/DWRF projects,, there is no financial goal. However, there is a solicitation effort goal. Bidders must use Good Faith Efforts for each and every area of work to be subcontracted out to obtain DBEs. The bidders are not required to use OBEs if the quotes are higher than non-DBE subcontractors. There is no required OBE participation percentage contract goal for the SRFIOWRF. However, if the SRF/DWRF project is part of a joint project with MDOT, the project can be excluded from SRF/DWRF DBE requirements (i.e., the Good Faith Efforts Worksheet is not required) as it would be difficult to comply with both programs’ requirements. Q. Must the Good Faith Efforts Worksheet and supporting documentation be turned in with the bid proposals? A: Yes. This is a requirement to document that the contractor has complied with the DBE requirements and the Good Faith Efforts. These compliance efforts must be done during the bidding phase and not after-the-fact. It is highly recommended that the need for these efforts and the submittal of the forms with the bid proposals be emphasized at the pre-bid meetings. Failure to show that the Good Faith Efforts were complied with during the bidding process can lead to a prime contractor being found non-responsive. Q: Does EPA form 6100-2 need to be provided at the pre-bid meeting? A: Yes. The form must be made available at the pre-bid meeting.

Pg ID 7633

Q: What kinds of documentation should a contractor provide to document solicitation efforts? A: Documentation can include fax confirmation sheets, copies of solicitation letters/e-mails, printouts of online solicitations, printouts of online search results, affidavits of publication in newspapers, etc. Q: How much time will compliance with the Good Faith Efforts require in terms of structuring an adequate bidding period? A: Due to the extent of the efforts required, a minimum of 30 calendar days is recommended between bid posting and bid opening to ensure adequate time for contractors to locate certified DBEs and solicit quotes. 0: How does a contractor locate certified DBEs? A: The Michigan Department of Transportation has a directory of all Michigan certified entities located at http:llmdotiboss.state.mi.us/jjCp/. Additionally, the federal System for Award Management (SAM) is another place to search and can be found at www.sam.gov. SAM contains information from the former Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database. 0: If the bidder does not intend to subcontract any work, what forms, if any, must be provided with the bid proposal? A: The bidder should complete the Good Faith Efforts Worksheet with a notation that no subcontracting will be done. However, if the bidder is awarded the contract and then decides to subcontract work at any point, then the Good Faith Efforts must be made to solicit DBEs. 0: In the perfect world, the. Good Faith Efforts Worksheet is required to be turned in with the proposal. What if no forms are turned in with the bid proposal or forms are blank or incomplete? Should this be cause to determine that the bidder is non-responsive? A: While the Good Faith Efforts Worksheet is important, it is more critical to confirm that the contractor complied with the DBE requirements prior to bid opening. The owner should contact the bidder as soon as deficiencies are noted for a determination/documentation of efforts taken to comply with the DBE requirements. Immediate submittal of the completed forms will be acceptable provided the Good Faith Efforts were made and it is just a matter of transferring information to the forms. Q: If the prime contractor is a OBE, does he have to solicit DBE subcontractors? A: Yes, the DBE requirements still apply if the prime intends to subcontract work out. Good Faith Efforts must be used to solicit DBEs. 0: If the area of work is one where there are less than three DBE contractors, how is the contractor to document this? A: Copies of printouts from MOOT and SAM showing no DBEs and advertisements soliciting quotes for all subcontract areas, including the questionable areas, will be adequate if the dates on the printouts are prior to the bid or proposal closing date.
