ITEM BACKGROUND: The BOCC approved the final long term agreement with the firm of DRC to provide disaster assistance for the removal of marine debris at its September 2006 meeting. The contract allows amendment for vessels of "special consideration." At the time of final contract approval, the list of "special consideration" vessels was not complete. Thus, we are bringing back an amendment to provide additional funds to remove 12 vessels that will take extraordinary time to remove. The price for these vessels, removed from the water, crushed and transported to the waste transfer station will be $350.00 per foot. The additional cost will be $125 per foot. The anticipated total expenditure for all 12 vessels is approximately $111,650. This number equates to an additional $39,875 over the original estimate. The County will assume approximately $4,984 of this total additional expense. PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: June 2006 - Award of bid and approval of interim agreement with the firm of DRC.

WHEREAS, the Monroe County Board of Commissioners has passed Resolution 565- 1999 on November 10, 1999 establishing the policy of Monroe County to request that the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) deny any requests to surplus properties adjacent to U.S. 1 until the Board of Commissioners has taken action on the Overseas Heritage Trail and Stormwater Master Plan; and WHEREAS, the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners makes the following Findings of Fact; 1. The Florida Department of Transportation has determined that the sale or lease of excess lands is prudent in order to reduce the liability and maintenance costs for FOOT. 2. The Florida Department of Transportation requests a recommendation from Monroe County prior to the sale of available rights-of-way in Monroe County. 3. The current owner( s) of property, at the southwest comer of George St. and US-! approximately Mile Marker 102.9 has expressed interest in purchasing the adjacent US-l right of way (ROW). 4. The Board has recommended denial of previous requests to purchase ROW in Key Largo until the completion of the Key Largo Livable CommuniKeys Plan and Corridor Master Plan. 5. The completion of the Key Largo Corridor Master Plan has identified the need for a detailed study to focus on upgrades to the corridor. 6. It is uncertain how much of the available right-of-way will be required to implement improvements along the corridor, however, staff has determined it is likely that the ROW at mile Marker 102.9 will be so needed. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA, that Monroe County requests the Florida Department of Transportation not to declare the available right-of-way at approximately Mile Marker 102.9, Bayside as surplus nor to sell same. \V:\GROWnl MANA(i/;MENT\Gt'o\Uppcr Kcys\IOl to I 06\MM 103 Jackson, ROW Rcquest\Rcsoluliondoc Pagc lof2 ROW Purchase RequesHHM I02.9-Bayside PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County, Florida, at a regular meeting of said Board held on the 15th day of November 2006.

The sale of ROW is at the discretion of FDOT, however, FDOT consults with the County and requests a recommendation on the sale of available ROW. Background: The subject property is at Mile Marker ]02.9 at the southwest corner of George S1. and US-l and is adjacent to approximately 120' of undeveloped ROW (See attached map). The ROW is currently covered by vegetation which includes large trees. The property owner is requesting to purchase the property in order to better maintain the adjacent ROWand to improve the landscaping along U S- L The property owner would also I ike to install signage for the adjacent real estate office. As a concession for supporting the sale of ROW, the propeliy owner has proposed to include a bus shelter and additional landscaping in developing any portion of the ROW. Recommendation: Staff has objected to the sale of any ROW in Key Largo prior to the completion of the Key Largo Livable Commun iKeys Plan (LCP) and the US-l Corridor Master Plan (CMP), With the completion and subseq uent approval of these studies at first public hearing (HOCC meeting August 2006). StafT will rely on the LCP and CMf> for a recommendation on the sale of ROW. The LCP identifies improving the US-] corridor as one of the main community needs. The LCP states that in order to achieve improvements on US-] "a detailed and engineering study must be made of the entire corridor W:\GROWTI I MANAGF:MEN.T"\Gco\Uppcr Keys:l 02.9 Key Largo-BaysiddU1W Rcquesl.Staff RepofLdoe Page 1 of 2 with specific focus on the conceptual upgrades proposed in the corridor design plan.

Staff has begun working with a transpOliation consultant to design templates that may be used for improving landscaping, bike-ped facilities, overtlm:v parking as well as possible alternatives for a frontage road. It is the goal of the study that these templates could be applied in various areas to implement the findings of the LCP. Due to the uncertainties of what improvements would be feasible along this stretch of US-l and the amount of ROW required to implement such improvements, staff does not recommend the sale of the subject property. Should the BOCC decide to sell the available ROW, statT recommends that an casement be placed on the ROW to protect future infrastructure improvements slIch as storm\vater, bike/ped. facilities or landscaping improvements. Furthermore, staff would recommend that no permanent structures be placed within the subject ROW. \V:\GROWIll MAN/\GEMINT\(ico\Uppcr Kcys\l 02.9 Kcy Largo-Baysldc\ROW Requcsr-StalT RCpOll.doc Page 2 of2 Request to Purchase Right-af-Way Mile Marker 102.9 REQUEST TO PURCHASE RIGHT-OF-WAY MILE MARKER 103, BA YSIDE View looking south across George S1. \V :".GRO \\iT!

Failure to correct deficiencies in a timely manner. d. Unsatisfactory performance. e. Changing the laboratory's physical location. 7 f. Delays in reporting the test data in the Department's database. g. Incomplete or inaccurate reporting. h. Using unqualified technicians performing testing. It is prohibited for a non-Department laboratory to perform Contractor Quality Control testing and any other Acceptance Program testing on the same contract. 6-10 Storage of Materials and Samples. 6-10.1 Method of Storage: Store materials in such a manner as to preserve their quality and fitness for the work, to facilitate prompt inspection, and to minimize noise impacts on sensitive receivers. More detailed specifications concerning the storage of specific materials are prescribed under the applicable Specifications. The Department may reject improperly stored materials. 6~10.2 Use of Right~of-Way for Storage: If the Engineer allows, the Contractor may use a portion of the right-of-way for storage purposes and for placing the Contractor's plant and equipment. Use only the portion of the right- of-way that is outside the clear zone, which is the portion not required for public vehicular or pedestrian travel. When used, restore the right-of-way to pre- construction condition at no additional cost to the Department or as specified in the contract. Provide any additional space required at no expense to the Department. 6~10.3 Responsibility for Stored Materials: Accept responsibility for the protection of stored materials. The Department is not liable for any loss of materials, by theft or otherwise, or for any damage to the stored materials. 6~10.4 Storage Facilities For Samples: Provide facilities for storage of samples as described in the contract and warranted by the test methods and Specifications. 6~11 Defective Materials. All materials not meeting the requirements of these Specifications; segregated materials, even though previously tested and approved; materials that are or have been improperly stored; and materials that are mixed with an excess of clay, coal, sticks, burlap, hay, straw, loam or earth, or other debriS will be considered defective. Do not use defective materials. The Engineer will reject all such materials, whether in place or not. Remove all rejected material immediately from the site of the work and from storage areas, at no expense to the Department. Do not use material that has been rejected and the defects corrected, until the Engineer has approved the material's use. Upon failure to comply promptly with any order of the Engineer made under the provisions of this Article, the Engineer will remove and replace defective material and deduct the cost of removal and replacement from any moneys due or to become due the Contractor. 8 As an exception to the above, the Contractor may submit, upon approval of the Engineer, an engineering and/or laboratory analysis to evaluate the effect of defective in place materials. A Specialty Engineer, who is an independent consultant shall perform any such analysis. The Engineer will determine the final disposition of the material after review of the information submitted by the Contractor. No additional monetary compensation or time extension will be granted for the impact of any such analysis or review. 6-12 Products and Source of Supply. 6-12.2 Source of Supply - Steel (Federal-Aid Contracts Only): For Federal-aid Contracts, only use steel and iron produced in the United States, in accordance with the Buy America provisions of 23 CFR 635.410, as amended. Ensure that all manufacturing processes for this material occur in the United States. As used in this specification, a manufacturing process is any process that modifies the chemical content, physical shape or size, or final finish of a product, beginning with the initial melding and mixing and continuing through the bending and coating stages. A manufactured steel or iron product is complete only when all grinding, drilling, welding, finishing and coating have been completed. If a domestic product is taken outside the United States for any process, it becomes foreign source material. When using steel and iron as a component of any manufactured product incorporated into the project (e.g., concrete pipe, prestressed beams, corrugated steel pipe, etc.), these same provisions apply, except that the manufacturer may use minimal quantities of foreign steel and iron when the cost of such foreign materials does not exceed 0.1% of the total Contract amount or $2,500, whichever is greater. These requirements are applicable to all steel and iron materials incorporated into the finished work, but are not applicable to steel and iron items that the Contractor uses but does not incorporate into the finished work. Provide a certification from the producer of steel or iron, or any product containing steel or iron as a . component, stating that all steel or iron furnished or incorporated into the furnished product was manufactured in the United States in accordance with the requirements of this specification and the Buy America provisions of 23 CFR 635.410, as amended. Such certification shall also include (1) a statement that the product was produced entirely within the United States, or (2) a statement that the product was produced within the United States except for minimal quantities of foreign steel and iron valued at $ (actual value). Furnish each such certification to the Engineer prior to incorporating the material into the project. When FHWA allows the use of foreign steel on a project, furnish invoices to document the cost of such material, and obtain the Engineer's written approval prior to incorporating the material into the project. 6-12.3 Unfit, Hazardous, and Dangerous Materials: Do not use any material that, after approval and/or placement, has in any way become unfit for 9 use. Do not use materials containing any substance that has been determined to be hazardous by the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection or the U.S. Department of Environmental Protection. Provide workplaces free from serious recognized hazards and to comply with occupational safety and health standards[ as determined by the U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Heath Administration. 3. BUY AMERICA: See section 6-12.2[ above in paragraph 2. 4. STATE EOUIPMENT, LABOR: Contractor shall not purchase any equipment for state ownership under this Contract. No state equipment or state labor shall be used. 5. SUSPENSION AND DEBARMENT: Contractor agrees to execute the Certification Regarding Debarment[ Suspension[ Ineligibility and Voluntary Exclusion. The form of the Certification is attached hereto as Exhibit 1. 6. DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE: Contractor agrees to abide by the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program. FOOT guidelines for utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises are contained in Exhibit 2, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. 7. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY REQUIREMENTS. Contractor agrees to the following: 7-25 Equal Employment Opportunity Requirements. 7-25.1 Equal Employment Opportunity Policy: Accept as the operating policy, the following statement which is designed to further the provision of equal employment opportunity to all persons without regard to theirage~ .race[ color[ religion[ national origin, sex[ or disability and to promote the full realization of equal employment opportunity through a positive continuing program: "It is the policy of this Company to assure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their age, race, religion, color[ national origin, sex[ or disability. Such action must include: employment, upgrading, demotion[ or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of payor other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship, preapprenticeship, and/or on-the-job training. It 7-25.2 Equal Employment Opportunity Officer: Designate and make known to the Departmenfs contracting officers an equal employment opportunity officer (hereinafter referred to as the EEO Officer) who must be capable of effectively administering and promoting an active Contractor program employment 10 opportunity and who must be assigned adequate authority and responsibility to do so. 7-25.3 Dissemination of Policy: All members of the Contractor's staff who are authorized to hire, supervise, promote! and discharge employees! or who recommend such action! or who are substantially involved in such action! will be made fully cognizant of, and will implement, the Contractor's equal employment opportunity policy and contractual responsibilities. 7-25.4 Recruitment: When advertising for employees! include in all advertisements for employees the notation \\An Equal Opportunity Employer". 7-25.5 Personnel Actions: Establish and administer wages, working conditions, employee benefits, and personnel actions of every type, including hiring, upgrading, promotion, transfer, demotion, layoff, and termination without regard to age, race, color, religion, national origin, sex, or disability. Follow the following procedures: (1) Conduct periodic inspections of project sites to insure that working conditions and employee facilities do not indicate discriminatory treatment of project site personnel. (2) Periodically evaluate the spread of wages paid with each classification to determine any evidence of discriminatory wage practices. (3) Periodically review selected personnel actions in depth to determine whether there is evidence of discrimination. Where evidence is found, promptly take corrective action. If the review indicates that the discrimination may extend beyond the actions reviewed, such corrective action must include all affected persons. (4) Investigate all complaints of alleged discrimination made in connection with obligations under this Contract, attempt to resolve such complaints, and take appropriate corrective action. If the investigation indicates that the discrimination , may affect persons other than the complainant, such corrective action must include such other persons. Upon completion of each investigation inform every complainant of all of the avenues of appeal. 7-25.6 Subcontracting: Use the best efforts to ensure subcontractor compliance with their equal employment opportunity policy. 7-25.7 Records and Reports: Keep such records as are necessary to determine compliance with the equal employment opportunity obligations. The records kept will be designed to indicate the following: (1) The number of minority and non minority group members employed in each work classification on the project. 11 (2) The progress and efforts being made in cooperation with unions to increase minority group employment opportunities (applicable only to Contractors who rely in whole or in part on unions as a source of their work force). (3) The progress and efforts being made in locating, hiring, training, qualifying, and upgrading minority group employees as deemed appropriate to comply with their Equal Employment Opportunity Policy. (4) The progress and efforts being made in securing the services of minority group subcontractors or subcontractors with meaningful minority group representation among their employees as deemed appropriate to comply with their Equal Employment Opportunity Policy. All such records must be retained for a period of three years following completion of the contract work and be available at reasonable times and places for inspection by authorized representatives to the Department and the Federal Highway Administration. Upon request, submit to the Department a report of the number of minority and nonminority group employees currently engaged in each work classification required by the Contract work. 8. EOUIPMENT RENTAL RATES: 8-1 Guidelines 8-1.1 General. In 1986, an Office of the Inspector General (DIG) audit of rental rates used by state agencies (STAs) found that a significant number of contractors were being reimbursed for equipment usage based on predetermined rates which included ineligible costs. Ineligible costs* included use of contingencies and replacement cost escalator factors, and premium rental rates for rental periods less than one month. The FHWA subsequently advised all field offices on August 22, 1986, that STAs which use predetermined rate guides must modify the equipment rental rates to eliminate the identified ineligible costs. PRIMEDIA Information Inc., San Jose, CA, the publisher of the Rental Rate Blue Book (Blue Book), responded by developing rate adjustment tables which corrected the discovered shortcomings. The adjustment tables were subsequently found acceptable by the DIG. The FHWA field offices were advised of this determination on December 23, 1986. Further rental rate guidance was issued by Headquarters! memorandum dated November 7, 1988. The Department accepts the Rental Rate Blue Book as the maximum rental rate allowable under this contract. 8-1.2 Federal policy requires that actual costs be used to determine extra work payments; however, typically actual equipment costs are not readily available. Therefore, the FHWA permits the STAs to specify in their construction contracts 12 the predetermined rate guides as well as equipment rate schedules developed by STAs which are in conformance with the Federal cost principles and the FHWA's policy contained herein. The Federal cost principles applicable to rental rates for contractor furnished equipment are contained in 48 CFR1 Part 31. The provisions in OMB Circular 87 apply when State-owned equipment is used. 8-1.3 Rental Rate Guides: Department must make the determination that the equipment rental rates developed or adopted fairly estimate a contractor's actual cost to own and operate the equipment within its State. The FDOT will review their State's rates for compliance with the policy. 8-1.4 Adjustment Factors: Equipment is not expected to operate for 12 consecutive months. Maps at the beginning of each Blue Book equipment section indicate adjustment factors based on climate and regional costs. Rate adjustment tables indicate adjustment factors based on equipment age. The adjustment factors in the maps and tables are to be applied when determining the eligible rate. 8-1.5 Maximum Rate: The Blue Book adjusted rates cover all eligible equipment related costs. Thereforel they are considered to be the maximum eligible rates for Federal-aid participation purposes. 8-1.6 Hourly Rates: The developer of the Blue Book accumulates all contractor costs for owning a piece of equipment on an hourly basis. The monthly rate displayed in the rental guide is determined by multiplying the hourly accumulated costs by the monthly standard of 176 hours. TIl,<=.r,<=fo~el fOL periods of equipment use less than the standard 176 hours per monthl Federal- aid participation shall be limited to the hourly rate obtained by dividing the monthly rate by 176. Premium rates contained in the rate guides shall not be used. 8-1.7 Standby Equipment Rates: The contractor continues to incur certain ownership costs when equipment is required to be on standby. The use of a standby rate is appropriate when equipment has been ordered to be available for force account work but is idle for reasons which are not the fault of the contractor. While an industry standard does not exist for standby rates I it has been the normal practice of the courts to reduce published ownership rental guide rates by 50 percent for standby rate usage. Thereforel the FHWA will accept use of 50 percent of the ownership rental rates of an approved guide as the standby rate in lieu of a contractor's actual standby costs. There should be 13 no operating costs included in the rate used and standby time should not exceed 8 hours per day, 40 hours per week, or the annual usage hours as established by the rate guide. 8-1.8 Mobilization: The costs required to mobilize and demobilize equipment not available on the project is eligible for reimbursement. Standby rates should be used for equipment while being hauled to and from the project. This will be in addition to applicable rates for the hauling equipment. All costs associated with the assembly and disassembly of the equipment for transport should also be considered in the mobilization costs. 8..1.9 Overhead: Equipment overhead includes such items as insurance, property taxes, storage, licenses and record keeping. The Blue Book rates include all equipment overhead costs. Therefore, when a project or home office overhead rate is applied to a Blue Book rate, the State must assure that it contains no equipment overhead cost factors. The Department shall determine the reasonableness of such a rate. 8-1.10 Profit: Profit on equipment rental is not provided for in the Blue Book published rates. There is no Federal regulation which prevents the addition of an amount for profit. If a State has a policy for the payment of profit, it should be followed on Federal-aid contracts. If a profit amount is to be used, the reasonableness must be determined by the Department based on experience. 8-1.11 Contractor Leased Equipment: When a contractor obtains equipment through a third party rental agreement for use in a force account situation, the cost will normally be the invoice cost. The invoice cost should be comparable with other rental rates of the area. The Associated Equipment Distributors (AED) Rental Rate and Specifications may be used to evaluate the costs for such equipment rental. Since rental agreements vary, the specific operating costs included in the rental agreement may need to be determined. There may be additional eligible operating costs not covered by the agreement which the contractor incurs and should be reimbursed (i.e., fuel, lubrication, field repairs, etc). [Note: The AED book is not acceptable as a rate guide for contractor owned equipment. The AED rates are based on national averages of rates charged by equipment distributors and do not reflect the contractors cost of owning and operating the equipment.] 9. fOREIGN CONTRACTOR AND SUPPLIER RESTRICTION. 14 There are no restrictions at this time. However, if restrictions occur in the future, Contractor agrees to amend the Contract to reflect such restrictions. 10. STATE OR LOCAL HIRING PREFERENCE: State or local hiring preference is not allowed. 11. CHANGED CONDITIONS: 004 SCOPE OF THE WORK. 4-3.2 Increase, Decrease or Alteration in the Work: The Engineer reserves the right to make alterations in the character of the work which involve a substantial change in the nature of the design or in the type of construction or which materially increases or decreases the cost or time of performance. Such alteration shall not constitute a breach of Contract, shall not invalidate the Contract or release the Surety. Notwithstanding that the Contractor shall have no formal right whatsoever to any extra compensation or time extension deemed due by the Contractor for any cause unless and until the Contractor follows the procedures set forth in 5-12.2 for preservation, presentation and resolution of the claim, the Contractor may at any time, after having otherwise timely provided a notice of intent to claim or preliminary time extension request pursuant to 5-12.2 and 8-7.3.2, submit to the Department a request for equitable adjustment of compensation or time or other dispute resolution proposal. The Contractor shall in any request for equitable adjustment of compensation, time, or other dispute resolution proposal certify under oath and in writing, in accordance with the formalities required by Florida law, that the request is made in good faith, that any supportive data provided are accurate and complete to the Contractor's best knowledge and belief, and that the amount of the request accurately reflects what the Contractor in oood . faith believes to be the Department's responsibility. Such certification must be made by an officer or director of the Contractor with the authority to bind the Contractor. Any such certified statements of entitlement and costs shall be subject to the audit provisions set forth in 5-12.14. While the submittal or review of a duly certified request for equitable adjustment shall neither create, modify, nor activate any legal rights or obligations as to the Contractor or the Department, the Department will review the content of any duly certified request for equitable adjustment or other dispute resolution proposal, with any further action or inaction by the Department thereafter being in its sole discretion. Any request for equitable adjustment that fails to fully comply with the certification requirements will not be reviewed by the Department. The monetary compensation provided for below constitutes full and complete payment for such additional work and the Contractor shall have no right to any additional monetary compensation for any direct or indirect costs or profit for 15 any such additional work beyond that expressly provided below. The Contractor shall be entitled to a time extension only to the extent that the performance of any portion of the additional work is a controlling work item and the performance of such controlling work item actually extends completion of the project due to no fault of the Contractor. All time related costs for actual performance of such additional work are included in the compensation already provided below and any time extension entitlement hereunder will be without additional monetary compensation. The Contractor shall have no right to any monetary compensation or damages whatsoever for any direct or indirect delay to a controlling work item arising out of or in any way related to the circumstances leading up to or resulting from additional work (but not relating to the actual performance of the additional workl which is paid for as otherwise provided herein)1 except only as provided for under 5-12.6.2.1. 4-3.2.1 Allowable Costs for Extra Work: The Engineer may direct in writing that extra work be done and, at the Engineers sole discretion, the Contractor will be paid pursuant to an agreed Supplemental Agreement or in the following manner: (a) Labor and Burden: The Contractor will receive payment for actual costs of direct labor and burden for the additional or unforeseen work. Labor includes foremen actually engaged in the work; and will not include project supervisory personnel nor necessary on-site clerical staffl except when the additional or unforeseen work is a controlling work item and the performance of such controlling work item actually extends completion of the project due to no fault of the Contractor. Compensation for project supervisory personnell but in no case higher than a Project Managers position, shall only be for the pro-rata time such supervisory personnel spent on the contract. In no case shall an officer or director of the Company, nor those persons who own more than 1 % of the CompanYI be considered as project supervisory personnel, direct labor or foremen hereunder. Payment for burden shall be limited solely to the following: Table 4-3.2.1 Item Rate FICA Rate established by Law FUTA/SUTA Rate established by Law Medical Insurance Actual Holidays, Sick & Actual Vacation benefits Retirement Actual benefits Workers Rates based on the National Council on Compensation Compensation Insurance basic rate tables adjusted by Contractor1s actual experience modification factor in effect at the time of the 16 additional work or unforeseen work. Per Diem Actual but not to exceed State of Florida's rate Insurance* Actual *Compensation for Insurance is limited solely to General Liability Coverage and does not include any other insurance coverage (such as, but not limited to, Umbrella Coverage, Automobile Insurance, etc.). At the Pre-construction conference, certify to the Engineer the following: (1) A listing of on-site clerical staff, supervisory personnel and their pro-rated time assigned to the contract, (2) Actual Rate for items listed in Table 4-3.2.1, (3) Existence of employee benefit plan for Holiday, Sick and Vacation benefits and a Retirement Plan, and, (4) Payment of Per Diem is a company practice for instances when compensation for Per Diem is requested. Such certification must be made by an officer or director of the Contractor with authority to bind the Contractor. Timely certification is a condition precedent to any right of the Contractor to recover compensations for such costs/ and failure to timely submit the certification will constitute a full, complete, absolute and irrevocable waiver by the Contractor of any right to recover such costs. Any subsequent changes shall be certified to the Engineer as part of the cost proposal or seven calendar days in advance of performing such extra work. (b) Materials and Supplies: For materials accepted by the Engineer and used on the project, the Contractor will receive the actual cost of such materials incorporated into the work, including Contractor paid transportation charges (exclusive of equipment as hereinafter set forth). For supplies reasonably "needed. for performing the work, the Contractor will receive the actual cost of such supplies. (c) Equipment: For any machinery or special equipment (other than small tools), including fuel and lubricant, the Contractor will receive 100% of the "Rental Rate Blue Book" for the actual time that such equipment is in operation on the work, and 50% of the "Rental Rate Blue Bookff for the time the equipment is directed to standby and remain on the project site, to be calculated as indicated below. The equipment rates will be based on the latest edition (as of the date the work to be performed begins) of the "Rental Rate Blue Book for Construction Equipment" or the "Rental Rate Blue Book for Older Construction Equipment," whichever is applicable, as published by Machinery Information Division of PRIMEDIA Information, Inc. (version current at the time of bid), using all instructions and adjustments contained therein and as modified below. On all 17 projects, the Engineer will adjust the rates using regional adjustments and Rate Adjustment Tables according to the instructions in the Blue Book. Allowable Equipment Rates will be established as set out below: (1) Allowable Hourly Equipment Rate = Monthly Ratej176 x Adjustment Factors x 100%. (2) Allowable Hourly Operating Cost = Hourly Operating Cost x 100%. (3) Allowable Rate Per Hour = Allowable Hourly Equipment Rate + Allowable Hourly Operating Cost. (4) Standby Rate = Allowable Hourly Equipment Rate x 50%. The Monthly Rate is The Basic Machine Rate Plus Any Attachments. Standby rates will apply when equipment is not in operation and is directed by the Engineer to standby at the project site when needed again to complete work and the cost of moving the equipment will exceed the accumulated standby cost. Standby rates will not apply on any day the equipment operates for eight or more hours. Standby payment will be limited to only that number of hours which, when added to the operating time for that day equals eight hours. Standby payment will not be made on days that are not normally considered work days on the project. The Department will allow for the cost of transporting the equipment to and from the location at which it will be used. If the equipment requires assembly or disassembly for transport, the Department will pay for the time to perform this work at the rate for standby equipment. Equipment may include vehicles utilized only by Labor, as defined above. (d) Indirect Costs, Expenses, and Profit: Compensation for all indirect costs, expenses, and profit of the Contractor, including but not limited to overhead of any kind, whether jobsite, field office, division office, regional office, home office, or otherwise, is expressly limited to the greater of either (1) or (2) below: (1) Solely a mark-up of 17.5% on the payments in (a) through (c), above. (i) Bond: The Contractor will receive compensation for any premium for acquiring a bond for such additional or unforeseen work; provided, however,dthat such payment for additional bond will only be paid upon presentment to the Department of clear and convincing proof that the Contractor has actually provided and paid for separate bond premiums for such additional or unforeseen work in such amount. (ii) The Contractor will be allowed a markup of 10% on the first $50,000 and a markup of 5% on any amount over $50,000 on any subcontract directly related to the additional or unforeseen work. Any such subcontractor mark-up will be allowed only by the prime Contractor and a first tier subcontractor, and the Contractor must elect the markup for any eligible first tier subcontractor to do so. (2) Solely the formula set forth below and only as applied solely as to such number of calendar days of entitlement that are in excess of ten cumulative calendar days as defined below. BCADx= 18 Where A :::: Original Contract Amount B :::: Original Contract Time C= 8% D = Average Overhead Per Day Cumulative Calendar Days is defined as the cumulative total number of calendar days granted for time extension due to delay of a controlling work item caused solely by the Department is, or the cumulative total number of calendar days for which entitlement to a time extension due to delay of a controlling work item caused solely by the Department is otherwise ultimately determined in favor of the Contractor to be. Further, in the event there are concurrent delays to one or more controlling work items, one or more being caused by the Department and one or more being caused by the Contractor, the Contractor shall be entitled to a time extension for each day that a controlling work item is delayed by the Department but shall have no right to nor receive any monetary compensation for any indirect costs for any days of concurrent delay. No compensation, whatsoever, will be paid to the Contractor for any jobsite overhead and other indirect impacts when the total number of calendar days granted for time extension due to delay of a controlling work item caused solely by the Department is, or the total number of calendar days for which entitlement to a time extension due to delay of a controlling work item caused solely by the Department is otherwise ultimately determined in favor of the Contractor to be, equal to or less than ten calendar days and the Contractor also fully assumes all monetary risk of any and all partial or single calendar day delay periods, due to delay of a controlling work item caused solely by the Department, that when cumulatively totaled together are equal to or less than ten calendar days and regardless of whether monetary compensation is otherwise provided for hereunder for one or more calendar days of time extension entitlement for each calendar day exceeding ten calendar days. All calculations under this provision shall exclude weather days, and days granted for performing additional work. . . 4-3.2.2 Subcontracted Work: For work performed by a subcontractor, compensation for the additional or unforeseen work shall be solely limited to as provided for in 4-3.2.1 (a), (b), (c) and (d)(l), with the exception of, in the instance of subcontractor performed work only, the subcontractor may receive compensation for any premium for acquiring a bond for the additional or unforeseen work; provided, however, that such payment for additional subcontractor bond will only be paid upon presentment to the Department of clear and convincing proof that the subcontractor has actually provided and paid for separate bond premiums for such additional or unforeseen work in such amount. The Contractor shall require the subcontractor to provide a certification, in accordance with 4-3.2.1(a), as part of the cost proposal and provide such to the Engineer. Such certification must be made by an officer or director of the 19 subcontractor with authority to bind the subcontractor. Timely certification is a condition precedent to any right of the Contractor to recover compensation for such subcontractor costs, and failure to timely submit the certification will constitute a full, complete, absolute and irrevocable waiver by the Contractor of any right to recover such subcontractor costs. 005 CONTROL OF THE WORK. 5~1.4.4.1 Drawings: Furnish two clearly legible photographic or xerographic copies of all shop drawings that are necessary to complete the structure in compliance with the design shown on the plans. Prepare all shop drawings using the same units of measure as those used in the Department's plans. Use sheets no larger than 11 by 17 inches [280 by 432 mm]. Consecutively number each sheet in the submittal series, and indicate the total number in the series (i.e., 1 of 12, 2 of 12, . . ., 12 of 12). Include on each sheet the following items as a minimum requirement: the complete Financial Project Identification Number, Bridge Number(s), drawing title and number, a title block showing the names of the fabricator or producer and the Contractor for which the work is being done, the initials of the person(s) responsible for the drawing, the date on which the drawing was prepared, the location of the item(s) within the project, the Contractor's approval stamp with date and initials, and, when applicable, the signature and embossed seal of the Specialty Engineer. A re-submittal will be requested when any of the required information is not included. 5~5 Authority of the Engineer. Perform all work to the satisfaction of the Engineer. The Chief, Bureau of Design and Construction, will decide all questions, difficulties, and disputes, of whatever nature, that may arise relative to the interpretation of the plans, construction, prosecution, and fulfillment of the Contract, and as to the character, quality, amount, and value of any work done, and materials furnished, under or by reason of the Contract. 5~6 Authority and Duties of Engineer's Assistants. The Chief, Bureau of Design and Construction, may appoint such assistants and representatives as he desires. These assistants and representatives are authorized to inspect all work done and all materials furnished. Such inspection may extend to all or any part of the work and to the manufacture, preparation, or fabrication of the materials to be used. Such assistants and representatives are not authorized to revoke, alter, or waive any requirement of these Specifications. Rather, they are authorized to call to the attention of the Contractor any failure of the work or materials to meet the Contract Documents, and have the authority to reject materials or suspend the work until any questions at issue can be referred to and decided by the Engineer. The Engineer will immediately notify the Contractor in writing of any such suspension of the work, stating in detail the reasons for the suspension. The presence of the 20 inspector or other assistant in no way lessens the responsibility of the Contractor. 5-10.2 Inspection for Acceptance: Upon notification that all Contract Work, or all Contract Work on the portion of the Contract scheduled for acceptance, has been completed, the Engineer will make an inspection for acceptance. The inspection will be made within seven days of the notification. If the Engineer finds that all work has been satisfactorily completed, the Department will consider such inspection as the final inspection. If any or all of the Work is found to be unsatisfactory, the Engineer will detail the remedial work required to achieve acceptance. Immediately perform such remedial work. Subsequent inspections will be made on the remedial work until the Engineer accepts all Work. Upon satisfactory completion of the Work, the Department will provide written notice of acceptance, either partial or final, to the Contractor. Until final acceptance in accordance with 5-11, replace or repair any damage to the accepted Work. 5-10.4 Conditional Acceptance: The Engineer will not make, or consider requests for conditional acceptance of a project. 5-12.6 Compensation for Extra Work or Delay: 5-12.6.1 Compensation for Extra Work: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall not be entitled to any compensation beyond that proVided for in 4-3.2. 5-12.6.2 Compensation for Delay: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Contract Documents, the additional compensation set forth in 5- 12.6.2.1 shall be the Contractors sole monetary remedy for any delay other than to perform extra work caused by the Department unless the delay shall. have been caused by acts constituting willful or intentional interference by the Department with the Contractor's performance of the work and then only where such acts continue after Contractor's written notice to the Department of such interference. The parties anticipate that delays may be caused by or arise from any number of events during the term of the Contract, including, but not limited to, work performed, work deleted, change orders, supplemental agreements, disruptions, differing site conditions, utility conflicts, design changes or defects, time extensions, extra work, right-Of-way issues, permitting issues, actions of suppliers, subcontractors or other contractors, actions by third parties, suspensions of work by the Engineer pursuant to 8-6.1, shop drawing approval process delays, expansion of the physical limits of the project to make it functional, weather, weekends, holidays, special events, suspension of Contract time, or other events, forces or factors sometimes experienced in construction work. Such delays or events and their potential impacts on the performance by 21 the Contractor are specifically contemplated and acknowledged by the parties in entering into this Contract, and shall not be deemed to constitute willful or intentional interference with the Contractor's performance of the work without clear and convincing proof that they were the result of a deliberate act, without reasonable and good-faith basis, and specifically intended to disrupt the Contractor's performance. 5-12.6.2.1 Compensation for Direct Costs, Indirect Costs, Expenses, and Profit thereon, of or from Delay: For any delay claim, the Contractor shall only be entitled to monetary compensation for the actual idle labor and equipment, and indirect costs, expenses, and profit thereon, as provided for in 4- 3.2(d) and solely for costs incurred beyond what reasonable mitigation thereof the Contractor could have undertaken. 12. FWHA PUBLICATION 1273 INCORPORATED: The Contractor shall comply with all required contract provisions for federal-aid construction contracts, as stated in FHWA-1273, attached hereto as Exhibit 3, and incorporated herein by reference. Information regarding wage tables required by Part IV of FHWA-1273 is attached as Exhibit 4. 13.

To ensure that the above agreement will be met, the following actions will be taken as a minimum: a. Periodic meetings of supervisory and personnel office employees will be conducted before the start of work and then not less often than once every six months, at which time the contractor's EEO policy and its implementation will be reviewed and explained. The meetings will be conducted by the EEO Officer. b. All new supervisory or personnel office employees will be given a thorough indoctrination by the EEO Officer, covering all major aspects of the contractor's EEO obligations within thirty days following their reporting for duty with the contractor. c.

To.. m eet this requirement, the contractor will identify sources of potential minority group employees, and establish with such identified sources procedures whereby minority group applicants may be referred to the contractor for employment consideration. b. In the event the contractor has a valid bargaining agreement providing for exclusive hiring hall referrals, he is expected to observe the provisions of that agreement to the extent that the system permits the contractor's compliance with EEO contract provisions. (The DOL has held that where implementation of such agreements has the effect of discriminating against minorities or women, or obligates the contractor to do the same, such implementation violates Executive Order 11246, as amended.) c.

Classification: DEP Contract No. DC646, Exhibit 3 to Attachment B a. The SHA contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics employed under the contract, which is not listed in the wage determination, shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. b. The contracting officer shall approve an additional classification, wage rate and fringe benefits only when the following criteria have been met: 1. the work to be performed by the additional classification requested is not performed by a classification in the wage determination; 2. the additional classification is utjJjzed in the area by the construction industry; 3. the proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination; and 4. with respect to helpers, when such a classification prevails in the area in which the work is performed. c. If the contractor or subcontractors, as appropriate, the laborers and mechanics (if known) to be employed in the additional classification or their representatives, and the contracting officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by the contracting officer to the DOL, Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, Washington, D.C. 20210. The Wage and Hour Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30~day period that additional time is necessary. d. In the event the contractor or subcontractors, as appropriate, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the additional classification or their representatives, and the contracting officer do not agree on the proposed cla$siflcation and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the contracting officer shall refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the contracting officer, to the Wage and Hour Administrator for determination. Said Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 3D-day period that additional time is necessary e.

Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor or subcontractors, as appropriate, shall either pay the DEP Contract No. DC646, Exhibit 3 to Attachment B benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly case equivalent thereof. b. If the contractor or subcontractor, as appropriate, does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, he/she may consider as a part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan Of program, provided, that the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the contractor, that the applicable standards of the Davis-Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program. 4. Apprentices and Trainees (Programs of the U.S. DOL) and Helpers: a. Apprentices: 1. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship progfam registered with the DOL, Employment and Training Administration, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or with a State apprenticeship agency recognized by the Bureau, or if a person is employed in his/her first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training or a State apprenticeship agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. 2. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeyman-level employees on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program. Any employee listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate listed in'the wage' determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. Where a contractor or subcontractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman-level hourly rate) specified in the contractor's or subcontractor's registered program shall be observed. 3. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman-level hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage DEP Contract No. DC646, Exhibit 3 to Attachment B determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator for the Wage and Hour Division determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. 4. In the event the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or a State apprenticeship agency recognized by the Bureau, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the contractor or subcontractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the comparable work performed by regular employees until an acceptable program is approved. b. Trainees: 1. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the DOL, Employment and Training Administration. 2. The ratio of trainees to journeyman-level employees on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. 3. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for his/her level of progress, expressed.as a percentage of the journeyman-level hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding journeyman- level wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices, in which case such trainees shall receive the same fringe benefits as apprentices. 4. In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the contractor or subcontractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved. DEP Contract No. DC646, Exhibit 3 to Attachment B c. Helpers: Helpers will be permitted to work on a project if the helper classification is specified and defined on the applicable wage determination or is approved pursuant to the conformance procedure set forth in Section IV.2. Any worker listed on a payroll at a helper wage rate, who is not a helper under a approved definition, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. 5. Apprentices and Trainees (Programs of the U.S. DOT): Apprentices and trainees working under apprenticeship and skill training programs which have been certified by the Secretary of Transportation as promoting EEO in connection with Federal-aid highway construction programs are not subject to the requirements of paragraph 4 of this Section IV. The straight time hourly wage rates for apprentices and trainees under such programs will be established by the particular programs. The ratio of apprentices and trainees to journeymen shall not be greater than permitted by the terms of the particular program. 6. Withholding: The SHA shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the DOL withhold, or cause to be withheld, from the contractor or subcontractor under this contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other Federally-assisted contract subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements which is held by the same prime contractor, as much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed by the contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by the contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or working on the site of the work, all or part of the wages required by the contract, the SHA contracting officer may, after written notice to the contractor, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance,orguaranteeoL, funds until such violations have ceased. 7.

DEP Contract No. DC646, Exhibit 3 to Attachment B c. For the obligation of the contractor to offer employment to present or former employees as the result of a lawful collective bargaining contract, provided that the number of nonresident persons employed under this subparagraph 1 c shall not exceed 20 percent of the total number of employees employed by the contractor on the contract work, except as provided in subparagraph 4 below. 2. The contractor shall place a job order with the State Employment Service indicating (a) the classifications of the laborers, mechanics and other employees required to perform the contract work, (b) the number of employees required in each classification, (c) the date on which he estimates such employees will be required, and (d) any other pertinent information required by the State Employment Service to complete the job order form.

DEP Contract No. DC646, Exhibit 3 to Attachment B Exhibit 4 to Attachment B Multiple wage tables on contracts General Guidance I. There are three general types of construction the Department oversees. These being Highw~y, Heavy and Building. On some contracts there are different types of construction to be performed or the project limits exceed the area coverage of just one wage table because of different counties involved. In these cases, more th~n one wage table may be ~ssigned to a contract. When this happens, the question becomes, where on the project is each table to be used? The foUowing are some examples of the type of work that are covered by the three (3) types of construction that the Department Is usually involved in: (a) Highway Roads, streets, highways, n.mways, taxiways, alleys, trails, paths. parking areas, highway bridges (that are not considered to be Heavy c~nstructlon), and other work of similar character. Any work that supports this construction. 11 (b) Heavy Antenna towers. bridges designed for commercial navigationl.canals. channels, docks. drainage (not incidental to highway), dredging. railroad construction, sewers (not incidental to highway), subways (other than buildings). tunnels, water and sewage treatment plants (other than buildings) and other work of similar character. Any work that supports this construction. * (c) 8~lIdlng Automobile parking garages. office buildings, rest stop bulldings~ toll facility buildings, subway stations, water and sewage treatment plants (building only) and all other buHding construction not incidental to Highway or Heavy construction. Any work that supports this construction_ * DEP Contract No. DC646, Exhibit 4 to Attachment B, Page ~ of 3 * An example. of work that supports a type of construction cou1d be in the case of a tontratt with a commercially navigable bridge (Heavy) being constructed and highway work (Highway) outside of the bridge parameters. Work platforms built, or partially builtr on the highway right of way, then transported to the placement area around the bridge, would be covered by Heavy, since It Is In support of the bridger even though some of it's constructIon took place physically on the highway's right of way. II. Additional notes: (a) The contractor has the option of paying the highest rates from each of the tables for each classification to satisfy the minimum requirements for their employees and avoid the complexity of keeping up with each worker and under what table they are working under. Example: Assume the project has Highway and Heavy wage tables assigned to it. The Highway table lists a carpenter for $8.00 per hour. The Heavy table lists the carpenter for $10.50 per hour. The contractor can pay $10.50 per hour for. all work done by carpenters in all areas of the project. OR The contractor may elect to pay the wages contained in each table when the table is applicable to the work that is being performed on the project. For example: from the example project above the carpenters could be paid $8.00 per hour for all work do'ne that pertained to the Highway table and $10.50 per hour for all work that pertained'to the Heavy table. When this option is chosen) the contrador"mustknow where each table is to be used and keep accurate record$ supporting the payment of different rates_ (b) When there are multiple tabl~s requi~ed because the project limits span more than the area coverage of one table. the contractor again has the option of paying the highest rates for each classification, as demonstrated above. or can choose to pay the rates for the applicable table in each case. In choosing to pay the different rates the county line or other delineator stated in the wage table is used to determine rate coverage. Example: the contract is Highway construction and ifs limits span Dade and Broward counties. In the two tables that c;over the work the carpenter is $10.00 per hour in Da.de county and $9.00 per hour in Broward DE? Contract No. DC646, Exhibit 4 to Attachment B, Page 2 of 3 t' . .~p""~.. County. The contractor can pay the applicable rate on each side of the respective county line or pay the $1 0.00 rate for aU carpenter work on the project. **************** If there are Ate( questions or confusion concerning applicability of wage tables to work in the contract to be bid. contact the FOOT's District Contract Compliance Manager in the District where the prOject is to be constructed. If you are unabte to do this. contact the FOOTs Prevailing Wage Coordinator in the State Construction Office (Tallahassee) for assistance. This should be done well BEFORE bids are due for the project. ,,,"'"_ .~ i.,. .. DEP Contract No. DC646.
