Therefore, local agencies must comply with this CFR requirement and the following state procedures when obtaining professional consultant services under a federally funded consultant contract administered by CDOT. CDOT has formulated its procedures in Procedural Directive (P.D.) 400.1 and the related operations guidebook titled "Obtaining Professional Consultant Services". This directive and guidebook incorporate requirements from both Federal and State regulations, i.e., 23 CFR 172 and Colorado Revised Statute (C.R.S.) 24-30-1401 et seq. Copies of the directive and the guidebook may be obtained upon request from CDOT's Agreements and Consultant Management Unit. [Local agencies should have their own written procedures on file for each method of procurement that addresses the items in 23 CFR l72.5(b)(1-6)]. Because the procedures and laws described in the Procedural Directive and the guidebook are quite lengthy, the subsequent steps serve as a short-hand guide to CDOT procedures that a local agency must follow in obtaining professional consultant services. This guidance follows the format of 23 CFR 172. The steps are: 1. The contracting local agency shall document the need for obtaining professional services. 2. Prior to solicitation for consultant services, the contracting local agency shall develop a detailed scope of work and a list of evaluation factors and their relative importance. The evaluation factors are those identified in C.R.S. 24-30-1403. Also, a detailed cost estimate should be prepared for use during negotiations. 3. The contracting agency must advertise for contracts in conformity with the requirements ofC.R.S. 24-30-1405. The public notice period, when such notice is required, is a minimum of 15 days prior to the selection of the three most qualified finns and the advertising should be done in one or more daily newspapers of general circulation. 4. The request for consultant services should include the scope of work, the evaluation factors and their relative importance, the method of payment, and the goal of ten percent (10%) Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation as a minimum for the project. 5. The analysis and selection of the consultants should be done in accordance with C.R.S. 24-30-1403. This section of the regulation identifies the criteria to be used in the evaluation of CDOT pre-qualified prime consultants and their team. It also shows which criteria are used to short-list and to make a [mal selection. The short-list is based on the following evaluation factors: a. Qualifications, b. Approach to the project. c. Ability to furnish professional services. d. Anticipated design concepts, and e. Alternative methods of approach for furnishing the professional services. Evaluation factors for final selection are the consultant's: a. Abilities of their personnel, b. Past performance, c. Willingness to meet the time and budget requirement, d. Location, Exhibit H - Page 1 of2 3~ ~ Exhibit H e. Current and projected work load, f. Volume of previously awarded contracts, and g. Involvement of minority consultants. Under 24-30-1401, cost shall not be considered as a factor in the evaluation of professional consultant services. 6. Once a consultant is selected, the local agency enters into negotiations with the consultant to obtain a fair and reasonable price for the anticipated work. Pre-negotiation audits are prepared for contracts expected to be greater than $50,000. Federal reimbursement for costs are limited to those costs allowable under the cost principles of48 CFR 31. Fixed fees (profit) are determined with consideration given to size, complexity, duration, and degree of risk involved in the work. Profit is in the range of six (6) to fifteen (15) percent of the total direct and indirect costs. 7. A qualified local agency employee shall be responsible and in charge of the project to ensure that the work being pursued is complete, accurate, and consistent with the terms, conditions, and specifications of the contract. At the end of project, the local agency prepares a performance evaluation (a CDOT form is available) on the consultant. 8. Each of the steps listed above is to be documented in accordance with the provisions of 49 CFR 18.42, which provide for records to be kept at least three (3) years from the date that the local agency submits its fmal expenditure report. Records of projects under litigation shall be kept at least three (3) years after the case has been settled. The eR.S. 24-30-1401 through 24-30-1408, 23 CFR Part 172, and P .D. 400.1, provide additional details for complying with the eight (8) steps just discussed. Exhibit H - Page 2 of 2 /' 3' ..

Except as otherwise provided for in each section, the contractor shall insert in each subcontract all of the slipulations contained in these Required Contract Provisions, and further require their inclusion in any lower tier subcontract or purchase order that may in turn be made. The Required Contract Provi- sions shall not be incorporated by reference in any case. The prime contractor shall be responsible for compliance by any subcontraclor or lower tier subcontractor wilh these Required Contract Provisions. 3. A breach of any of the stipulations conlained in these Required Contract Provisions shall be sufficienl grounds for termination of the contract. 4. A breach of the following clauses of the Required Conlract Provisions may also be grounds for debarment as provided in 29 CFR 5.12: Section I. paragraph 2; Section IV, paragraphs 1, 2, 3. 4, and 7; Section V, paragraphs 1 and 2a through 2g. 5. Disputes arising oul of the labor standards provisions of Seclion IV (excepl paragraph 5) and Section V ofthese Required Conlract Provisions shall nol be subjecl to Ihe generai dispules clause of Ihis contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in accor- dance wilh Ihe procedures of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) as sel forth in 29 CFR 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the meaning of Ihis clause include dispules between the conlractor (or any of its subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the DOL, or the conlraclor's employees or Iheir representalives. 6. Selection of Labor: During the performance of this con- tract. the contractor shall not: a. discriminate against labor from any other Stale, posses- sion, or territory of the United States (except for employment preference for Appalachian contracts. when applicable, as specified in Attachment A). or b. employ convict labor for any purpose within the limits of the project unless it is labor performed by convicts who are on parole. supervised release. or probation. II. NONDISCRIMINATION (Applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracls and to all related subcontracts of $10.000 or more.) 1. Equal Employment Opportunity: Equal employment opportunity (EEO) requirements not to discriminate and to take affirmative action to assure equal opportunity as set forth under laws, execulive orders, rules, regulations (28 CFR 35, 29 CFR 1630 and 41 CFR 60) and orders of the Secretary of Labor as modified by Ihe provisions prescribed herein, and imposed pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 140 shall constitute the EEO and specific affirm alive aclion standards for Ihe contracto~s projecl activities under this contract. The Equal Opportunity Construction Contract Specifications set forth under 41 CFR 60-4.3 and the provisions of the American Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 ~~.) set forth under 28 CFR 35 and 29 CFR 1630 are incorporated by reference in this contract. In the execution of this conlract, the conlraclor agrees to comply with Ihe following minimum specific requiremenl activities of EEO: a. The contraclor will work with the State highway agency (SHA) and the Federal Government in carrying out EEO obliga- tions and in their review of his/her activilies under the contract. b. The contractor will accept as his operating policy Ihe following statement: "II is the policy of this Company to assure that applicants are employed. and that employees are treated during employ- ment, withoul regard to their race, religion, sex. color. nalional origin, age or disability. Such action shall include: employment, upgrading, demotion. or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or lermination; rates of payor other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. preapprenticeship. and/or on-the-job training." 2. EEO Officer: The contractor will designate and make known to the SHA conlracling officers an EEO Officer who will have Ihe responsibility for and must be capable of effeclively administering and promoting an active contractor program of EEO and who must be assigned adequate authority and responsibility to do so. 3. Dissemination of Policy: All members of the contraclor's staff who are authorized to hire. supervise, promote. and discharge employees, or who recommend such aclion, or who are subslantially involved in such action, will be made fully cognizanl Exhibit I - Pagel of9 3~ .. of. and will implemenl, the contractor's EEO policy and contractual responsibilities to provide EEO in each grade and classification of employment. To ensure that the above agreemenl will be met, the following actions will be taken as a minimum: a. Periodic meelings of supervisory and personnel office employees will be conducted before the start of work and then nol less often than once every six months. at which time the contract- o~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 Ihe EEO Officer, covering all major aspects of the contractor's EEO obligations within thirty days following their reporting for duty with the contraclor. c. All personnel who are engaged in direct recruilment for the project will be instructed by the EEO Officer in the contractor's procedures for locating and hiring minority group employees. d. Notices and posters setting forth the contractor's EEO policy will be placed in areas readily accessible to employees, applicants for employment and polential employees. e.

Recruitment: When advertising for employees. the contrac- tor will include in all advertisements for employees the notation: "An Equal Opportunity Employer." All such advertisements will be placed in publications having a large circulation among minority groups in the area from which the project work force would normally be derived. a. The contractor will, unless precluded by a valid bargain- ing agreement, conduct systematic and direct recruitment through public and private employee referral sources likely to yield qualified minority group applicants. To meet this requirement, Ihe conlractor will identify sources of potential minority group employees, and establish with such identified sources procedures whereby minority group applicanls may be referred to Ihe conlractor for employment consideration. b. In the event the conlractor has a valid bargaining agree- menl providing for exclusive hiring hall referrals, he is expected to observe Ihe provisions of Ihat agreemenl 10 the extent that the system permils Ihe conlracto~s compliance with EEO contract provisions. (The DOL has held that where implementation of such agreemenls have Ihe effect of discriminaling against minorilies or women, or obligates the conlraclor 10 do the same, such implementation violates Executive Order 11246, as amended.) c. The contractor will encourage his present employees 10 refer minority group applicanls for employment. Information and procedures with regard to referring minority group applicants will be discussed wilh employees. 5. Personnel Actions: Wages, working conditions. and employee benefits shall be established and administered, and personnel actions of every type, including hiring. upgrading. promotion, Iransfer. demolion. layoff, and lerminalion, shall be taken wilhoul regard to race, color. religion, sex, nalional origin, age or disability.

The conlractor will periodically evaluale Ihe spread of wages paid wilhin each c1assificalion to determine any evidence of Exhibit I discriminalory wage practices. c. The conlractor will periodically review selected personnel actions in depth to determine whether Ihere is evidence of discrimination. Where evidence is found. Ihe contractor will promptly take corrective aclion. If the review indicates that the discrimination may extend beyond the actions reviewed, such corrective action shall include all affected persons. d. The contractor will promptiy investigate all complaints of alleged discrimination made to the contractor in connection with his obligalions under this contract. will attempt to resolve such complaints, and will lake appropriale corrective action within a. reasonable time. If the investigation indicates that the discrimination may affect persons olher than the complainant, such corrective aclion shall include such olher persons.

I.e.. apprenliceship, and on-the-job training programs for the geographical area of contract performance. Where feasible, 25 percent of apprentices or trainees in each occupation shall be in their first year of apprenticeship or Iraining. In the evenl a special provision for training is provided under this contracI, Ihis subpara- graph will be superseded as indicated in the special provision. c. The contractor will advise employees and applicants for employment of available training programs and entrance requirements for each. d. The contractor will periodically review the training and promolion potential of minority group and women employees and will encourage eligible employees to apply for such training and promotion. 7.

Actions by the contractor either directly or through a contracto~s association acting as agent will include Ihe procedures set forth below: a. The contractor will use best efforts to develop, in cooperation with the unions. joint training programs aimed toward qualifying more minority group members and women for membership in Ihe unions and increasing Ihe skills of minority group employees and women so thaI they may qualify for higher paying employment. b. The conlractor will use best efforts to incorporale an EEO clause into each union agreemenl to Ihe end thaI such union will be conlraclually bound 10 refer applicanls wilhoul regard 10 Iheir race, color. religion, sex. nalional origin, age or disability. c. The conlractor is to obtain information as 10 the referral practices and policies of the labor union except that to the extent such information is wilhin the exclusive possession of Ihe labor union and such labor union refuses 10 furnish such information 10 the contraclor, Ihe contractor shall so certify 10 the SHA and shall sel forth whal efforts have been made 10 obtain such informalion. d. In Ihe event the union is unable 10 provide the contraclor Exhibit I - Page 2 of 9 REQUIRED BY 23 CFR 633.102 ?;1 .. with a reasonable flow of minority and women referrals within Ihe time limit set forth in the collective bargaining agreement, the conlraclor will, through independent recruitment efforts, fill Ihe employment vacancies without regard 10 race. color. religion. sex, nalional origin, age or disability; making full efforts to obtain qualified andlor qualifiable minority group persons and women. (The DOL has held that it shall be no excuse thaI the union with which the contractor has a colleclive bargaining agreement providing for exclusive referral failed to refer minority employees.) In the event Ihe union referral practice prevents the contractor from meeting the obligations pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and these special provisions, such contractor shall immediately notify the SHA. 8.

The contractor shall notify all potential subcontractors and suppliers of his/her EEO obligations under this contract. b. Disadvantaged business enlerprises (DBE), as defined in 49 CFR 23, shall have equal opportunity to compete for and perform subcontracts which the contractor enters inlo pursuant to this contract. The conlraclor will use his best efforts to solicit bids from and to ulilize DBE subcontractors or subcontractors with meaningful minority group and female represenlation among their employees. Contractors shall obtain lists of DBE conslruction firms from SHA personnel. c. The contraclor will use his best efforts to ensure subcon- Iractor compliance with their EEO obligations. 9. Records and Reports: The contractor shall keep such records as necessary 10 document compliance with Ihe EEO requirements. Such records shall be retained for a period of three years following completion of the contract work and shall be available al reasonable times and places for inspection byautho- rized representatives of the SHA and the FHW A. a. The records kept by Ihe conlraclor shall document the following: (1) The number of minority and non-minority group members and women employed in each work classification on the project; (2) The progress and efforts being made in cooperation with unions, when applicable, to increase employment opportuni- ties for minorities and women; (3) The progress and efforts being made in localing, hiring. training, qualifying. and upgrading minority and female employees; and (4) The progress and efforts being made in securing Ihe services of DBE subcontractors or subcontraclors with meaningful minority and female representation among their employees. b. The conlractors will submit an annual report to the SHA each July for the duralion of the projecl. indicating the number of minority, women, and non-minority group employees currently engaged in each work classificalion required by the contract work. This information is to be reported on Form FHW A-1391. If on-the job Iraining is being required by special provision, the contraclor will be required to collect and report training data. III. NONSEGREGATED FACILITIES (Applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts and to all Exhibit I related subconlracts of $10,000 or more.) a. By submission of Ihis bid, the execution of this contract or subcontract, or the consummation of this malerial supply agree- menl or purchase order, as appropriate, the bidder, Federal-aid construction contractor. subcontractor, material supplier, or vendor, as appropriate, certifies that the firm does not maintain or provide for its employees any segregated facilities al any of its establishments, and that the firm does not permit its employees to perform their services at any location. under its control, where segregated facilities are maintained. The firm agrees that a breach of this certification is a violation of the EEO provisions of this contract. The firm further certifies that no employee will be denied access to adequate facilities on Ihe basis of sex or disability. b. As used in this certification, the lerm 'segregated facilities" means any waiting rooms, work areas, restrooms and washrooms, reslaurants and other ealing areas, timeclocl<s,locker rooms, and other storage or dressing areas, parking loIs, drinking fountains, recrealion or enlertainment areas, transportation, and housing facilities provided for employees which are segregated by explicit directive, or are, in fact, segregaled on Ihe basis of race, color, religion, nalional origin. age or disability. because of habil. local custom, or otherwise. The only exceplion will be for the disabled when the demands for accessibility override (e.g. disabled parking). c. The contractor agrees Ihat it has obtained or will obtain idenlical certification from proposed subcontractors or material suppliers prior to award of subcontracts or consummation of malerial supply agreements of $10,000 or more and that it will retain such certifications in ils files. IV. PAYMENT OF PREDETERMINED MINIMUM WAGE (Applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts exceeding $2,000 and to all related subcontracts, except for projects located on roadways classified as local roads or rural minor collectors, which are exempt.) 1. General: a. All mechanics and laborers employed or working upon Ihe site of the work will be paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any accounl [excepl such payroll deductions as are permitted by regulalions (29 CFR 3) issued by Ihe Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (40 U.S.C. 276c)] the full amounts of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalenls Ihereof) due at time of payment. The payment shall be compuled at wage rates not less Ihan Ihose contained in the wage delermination of the Secrelary of Labor (hereinafter "the wage determination") which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any conlractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the conlractor or its subcontractors and such laborers and mechanics. The wage determination (including any additional classifications and wage rales conformed under paragraph 2 of this Section IV and the DOL poster (WH-1321) or Form FHWA-1495) shall be posted al all times by the contraclor and ils subcontraclors at Ihe site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers. For the purpose of Ihis Seclion. contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under Section 1 (b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 276a) on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to Ihe provi- sions of Section IV, paragraph 3b. hereof. Also, for the purpose of this Section. regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekty period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs, which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be conslructively made or incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage Exhibit I - Page 3 of 9 REQUIRED BY 23 CFR 633.102 Jet determination for the classification of work actually performed, wilhout regard to skill, except as provided in paragraphs 4 and 5 oflhis Section IV. b. Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensaled at the rate specified for each classification for the time aclually worked therein, provided, that the employer's payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed. c. All rulings and inlerpretalions ofthe Davis-Bacon Act and related acts contained in 29 CFR 1, 3. and 5 are herein incorpo- raled by reference in this contract. 2. Classification: a. The SHA contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics employed under Ihe contract, which is nol lisled in the wage delermination, 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 Ihe following criteria have been met: (1) the work to be performed by Ihe additional classification requesled is not performed by a classification in Ihe wage determination; (2) the additional classification is utilized in Ihe area by the construction induslry; (3) the proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits. bears a reasonable relalionship to the wage rates contained in Ihe wage determination; and (4) with respect 10 helpers. when such a classificalion 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 addition- ai classification or their representatives, and Ihe contracting officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amounl designated for fringe benefils where appropriate). a report of the action laken shall be senl by Ihe conlracling officer to Ihe DOL, Adminislrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employmenl Slan- dards Administration, Washington. D.C. 20210. The Wage and Hour Adminislralor. or an authorized representative, will approve. modify, or disapprove every addilional c1assificalion action within 30 days of receipl and so advise the contracting officer or will nolify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary. d. In the evenl Ihe contractor or subconlraclors, as appro- priate. the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the additional classificalion or their representatives, and Ihe contracting officer do not agree on Ihe proposed c1assificalion and wage rate (including Ihe amount designaled for fringe benefits, where appropriale). the contracting officer shall refer the queslions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommenda- tion of the contracling officer. to the Wage and Hour Administrator for determination. Said Administrator, or an authorized represen- lative. will issue a determinalion within 30 days of receipl and so advise the contracting officer or will notify Ihe contracling officer within the 30-day period Ihat addilional lime is necessary e. The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropri- ate) delermined pursuant to paragraph 2c or 2d of this Section IV shall be paid to all workers performing work in the additional classification from Ihe first day on which work is performed in Ihe classificalion. 3. Payment of Fringe Benefits: Exhibit I a. Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, Ihe contractor or subcontractors, as appropriate, shall eilher pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly case equivalent thereof. b. If the contractor or subcontractor. as appropriate. does not make payments 10 a trustee or other third person, he/she may consider as a part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, provided, Ihatlhe Secre- tary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the contractor, thaI 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 Ihe plan or program. 4. Apprentices and Trainees (Programs of the U.S. DOL) and Helpers: a. Apprentices; (1) Apprentices will be permitted to work al less Ihan the predetermined rate for the work they performed when they are employed pursuant 10 and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with Ihe DOL, Employment and Training Administralion, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or with a State apprenticeship agency recognized by Ihe Bureau, or if a person is empioyed in his/her first 90 days of probalionary employmenl as an apprenlice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program. but who has been certified by Ihe Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training or a State apprenticeship agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employmenl as an apprenlice. (2) The allowable ralio of apprentices 10 joumeyman- level employees on the job sile in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as 10 the entire work force under the registered program.
