Dear Prospective Contractor:

If you are considering bidding on an Alaska public works project, please remember the positive benefits of hiring locally. Construction, maintenance, and operation of public works projects are vital to the local economy. Alaska Hire helps contractors too-your neighbors are more invested in our community than non-residents, they are more likely to show up to work on time and finish the job.

If you want to hire more Alaskans, we're here to help. Hiring local workers is cost-effective and can benefit your business in many ways. The Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development's Job Center staff can connect you with qualified, skilled Alaskan workers through the Alaska Labor Exchange (ALEXsys) employee/ employer database. Call (907) 465-2712 to get connected with a Job Center and potential employees in your community.

Work Opportunity Tax Credits (WOTC) are available to employers who hire qualified new employees who are unemployed disabled veterans, recipients of Temporary Assistance or food stamps, ex-offenders, and residents of Empowerment Zones or Renewal Communities. The WOTC program saved employers operating in Alaska over $3.2 million last year. For information on the tax credit program call (907) 465-5952 or visit the WOTC website, www.job .alas ka.gov/worc.htm.

The Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, the Department of Labor and Workforce Development, the Alaska Native Coalition on Employment and Training (ANCET), and other industry training providers work closely together to recruit women, Alaska Natives, minorities and veterans for training and job referral. We can assist your business in finding qualified employees right now, as well as help you institute training programs to ensure a stable and skilled workforce over the long term. There are many high school and adult training programs across the state that prepare Alaska residents for construction jobs and to learn a trade as registered apprentice. Alaska has over 1,500 registered apprentices and our Job Centers can assist employers that want to hire apprentices. Alaska's prevailing wage is adjusted to allow employers to pay apprentices a reduced rate while they are learning their trade, offsetting your costs of training the apprentice. Additionally, there are on-the-job training wage incentives available for employers that hire apprentices.

If you are awarded a contract, we will send you additional information on the business benefit of hiring locally and how to use the free Alaska Labor Exchange System to find qualified Alaska residents. Your effort to hire locally is appreciated very much. We wish you well in the upcoming construction season and thank you for putting Alaskans to work. c;~ Dr. Tamika L. Ledbetter, Commissioner ohn MacKinnon, Commissioner Department of Labor Department of Transportation and Workforce Development and Public Facilities

Section 120 for the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program

The Department, in coordination with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), adopted a Race-Neutral DBE Program with an overall DBE Utilization Goal of 8.83% for Alaska’s FHWA Federal-Aid program. Although the Race-Neutral program does not establish or require individual project DBE Utilization Goals, 49 CFR establishes the Bidder is responsible to make a portion of the work available to DBEs and to select those portions of the work or material needs consistent with the available DBEs to facilitate DBE participation. If the Department, in collaboration with our contractors, does not meet the overall program DBE Utilization Goal and cannot demonstrate good faith effort to meet the program goal, the program may be modified to Race-Conscious, with individual DBE Utilization Goals established for each Federal-Aid project. As such, a GFE submittal documenting the contractor’s efforts to utilize certified DBEs is required. Backup documentation for the GFE submittal must include both DBE and non-DBE quotes. The Department and FHWA will use the data collected under Section 120 to evaluate the program for compliance with Section 120 and with 49 CFR Part 26. Contractors are encouraged to review the construction and contract forms, and Section 120 DBE Program. Any questions about this notice may be directed to Barbara L. Tanner, P.E., Chief of Contracts & LPA Design, (907) 451-3057, or email [email protected].

STATE OF ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND PUBLIC FACILITIES

FEDERAL EEO BID CONDITIONS

STANDARD FEDERAL EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT SPECIFICATIONS FOR ALL NON-EXEMPT FEDERAL AND FEDERALLY-ASSISTED CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS TO BE AWARDED IN THE STATE OF ALASKA

Authority and Guidelines.

The Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (Department), as a State Transportation Agency (STA), has authority under 23 U.S.C. 140 and its implementing regulations to conduct a compliance program addressing Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) and Affirmative Action (AA) in employment on non-exempt federal and federally-assisted construction contracts that are awarded in the State of Alaska. The STA's authority to administer a contract compliance with Nondiscrimination, EEO and AA programs are authorized under 23 U.S.C., 49 U.S.C., Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, MAP-21 and implementing regulations. The provisions of 23 CFR 200 and 49 CFR 21 provide authority to determine, and where necessary obtain compliance with the nondiscrimination provisions of Title VI. Under the provisions of Title VI 23 USC and related regulations, including 49 CFR 21 and 26, and 23 CFR Part 200, 230 and 633, it is the STA's responsibility to ensure compliance with and to enforce on all projects of Federal-aid contractors and subcontractors, whether a particular contract or work-site involves Federal-aid funds or not.

These citations confirm the requirement for contractors to provide, and States to obtain information that ensure non-discrimination in employment on all of Federal and federally-assisted projects, and through these provisions, provide for EEO for minorities and women in all terms and conditions of their employment at all of their facilities and on all projects.

1. Definitions. As used in these specifications:

a. “Covered area” means the geographical area described in the solicitation from which this contract resulted;

b. “Employer identification number” means the Federal Social Security number used on the Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return, U.S. Treasury Department Form 941.

c. “Minority” includes:

(1) Black (all persons having origins in any of the Black African racial groups not of Hispanic origin);

(2) Hispanic (all persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race);

(3) Asian and Pacific Islander (all persons having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, or the Pacific Islands); and

(4) American Indian or Alaska Native (all persons having origins in any of the original peoples of North America and maintaining identifiable tribal affiliations through membership and participation or community identification).

Form 25A-301 (12/14) Page 1 of 4

2. Whenever the Contractor, or any subcontractor at any tier, subcontracts a portion of the work involving any construction trade, it shall physically include in each subcontract in excess of $10,000 the provisions of these specifications and which is set forth in the solicitations from which this contract resulted.

3. If the Contractor is participating (pursuant to 41 CFR 60-4.5) in a Hometown Plan approved by the DOL in the covered area, either individually or through an association, its affirmative action obligations on all work in the Plan area shall be in accordance with that Plan for those trades that have unions participating in the Plan. Contractors must be able to demonstrate their participation in and compliance with the provisions of any such Hometown Plan. Each Contractor or subcontractor participating in an approved Plan is individually required to comply with its obligations under the EEO clause, and to make good faith effort to achieve an equal representation of minority and female employment under the Plan in each trade in which it has employees. The overall good faith performance by other Contractors or subcontractors in an approved Plan does not excuse any covered Contractor’s or subcontractor’s failure to make good faith efforts to achieve the Plan.

4. The Contractor shall implement the specific affirmative action standards provided in paragraphs 5(a) through 5(p) of these specifications.

5. The Contractor shall take specific affirmative actions to ensure equal employment opportunity. The evaluation of the Contractor’s compliance with these specifications shall be based upon its effort to achieve maximum results from its actions. The Contractor shall document these efforts fully, and shall implement affirmative action steps at least as extensive as the following:

a. Ensure and maintain a working environment free of harassment, intimidation, and coercion at all sites, and in all facilities at which the Contractor’s employees are assigned to work. The Contractor shall specifically ensure that all foremen, superintendents, and other on-site supervisory personnel are aware of and carry out the Contractor’s obligations to maintain such a working environment, with specific attention to minority or female individuals working at such sites or in such facilities.

b. Establish and maintain a current list of minority and female recruitment sources, provide written notification to minority and female recruitment sources and to community organizations when the Contractor or its unions have employment opportunities available, and maintain a record of the organizations’ responses.

c. Maintain a current file of the names, addresses and telephone numbers of each minority and female off-the- street applicant and minority or female referral from a union, a recruitment source or community organization and of what action was taken with respect to each such individual. If such individual was sent to the union hiring hall for referral and was not referred back to the Contractor by the union or, if referred, not employed by the Contractor, this shall be documented in the file with the reason therefor, along with whatever additional actions the Contractor may have taken.

d. Provide immediate written notification to the Civil Rights Office’s Contract Compliance Officer when the union or unions with which the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement has not referred to the Contractor a minority person or woman sent by the Contractor, or when the Contractor has other information that the union referral process has impeded the Contractor’s efforts to meet its obligations.

e. Develop on-the-job training opportunities and/or participate in training programs for the area which expressly include minorities and women, including upgrading programs and apprenticeship and trainee programs relevant to the Contractor’s employment needs, especially those programs funded or approved by the Department of Labor. The Contractor shall provide notice of these programs to the sources compiled under 5(b) above.

f. Disseminate the Contractor’s EEO policy by providing notice of the policy to unions and training programs and requesting their cooperation in assisting the Contractor in meeting its EEO obligations; by including it in any policy manual and collective bargaining agreement; by publicizing it in the company newspaper, annual report, etc.; by specific review of the policy with all management personnel and with all minority and female

Form 25A-301 (12/14) Page 2 of 4

employees at least once a year; and by posting the company EEO policy on bulletin boards accessible to all employees at each location where construction work is performed.

g. Review, at least annually, the company’s EEO policy and affirmative action obligations under these specifications with all employees having any responsibility for hiring, assignment, layoff, termination or other employment decisions including specific review of these items with on-site supervisory personnel such as Superintendent, general foreman, etc., prior to the initiation of construction work at any job site. A written record shall be made and maintained identifying the time and place of these meetings, persons attending, subject matter discussed, and dispositions of the subject matter.

h. Disseminate the Contractor’s EEO policy externally by including it in any advertising in the news media, specifically including minority and female news media, and providing written notification to and discussing the Contractor’s EEO policy with other Contractors and Subcontractors with whom the Contractor does or anticipates doing business.

i. Direct its recruitment efforts, both oral and written, to minority, female and community organizations, to schools with minority and female students and to minority and female recruitment and training organizations serving the Contractor’s recruitment area and employment needs. Not later than one month prior to the date for the acceptance of applications for apprenticeship or other training by any recruitment source, the Contractor shall send written notification to organizations such as the above, describing the openings, screening procedures, and tests to be used in the selection process.

j. Encourage present minority and female employees to recruit other minority persons and women and, where reasonable, provide after school, summer and vacation employment to minority and female youth both on the site and in other areas of a Contractor’s workforce.

k. Validate all tests and other selection requirements where there is an obligation to do so under 41 CFR Part 60-3.

l. Conduct, at least annually, an inventory and evaluation of all minority and female personnel for promotional opportunities and encourage these employees to seek or to prepare for, through appropriate training, etc., such opportunities.

m. Ensure that seniority practices, job classifications, work assignments and other personnel practices do not have a discriminatory effect by continually monitoring all personnel and employment related activities to ensure that the EEO policy and the Contractor’s obligations under these specifications are being carried out.

n. Ensure that all facilities and company activities are nonsegregated except that separate or single-use toilet, necessary changing facilities and necessary sleeping facilities shall be provided to assure privacy between the sexes.

o. Document and maintain a record of all solicitations of offers for subcontractors from minority and female construction contractors and suppliers, including circulations of solicitations to minority and female contractor associations and other business associations.

p. Conduct a review, at least annually, of all supervisors’ adherence to and performance under the Contractor’s EEO policies and affirmative action obligations.

6. Contractors are encouraged to participate in voluntary associations which assist in fulfilling one or more of their affirmative action obligations 5(a) through 5(p). The efforts of a contractor association, joint contractor-union, contractor-community, or other similar group of which the Contractor is a member and participant, may be asserted as fulfilling any or more of its obligations under 5(a) through 5(p) of these specifications provided that the Contractor actively participates in the group, makes every effort to assure that the group has a positive impact on the employment of minorities and women in the industry, ensures that the concrete benefits of the program are

Form 25A-301 (12/14) Page 3 of 4

reflected in the Contractor’s minority and female work force participation, makes a good faith effort to meet its individual EEO obligations, and can provide access to documentation which demonstrates the effectiveness of actions taken on behalf of the Contractor. The obligation to comply, however, is the Contractor’s and failure of such a group to fulfill an obligation shall not be a defense for the Contractor’s noncompliance.

7. The Contractor is required to provide equal employment opportunity and to take affirmative action for all minority groups, both male and female, and all women, both minority and non-minority. Consequently, the Contractor may be in violation if a particular group is employed in a substantially disparate manner.

8. The Contractor shall not use the equal employment or affirmative action standards to discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

9. The Contractor shall not enter into any subcontract with any person or firm debarred from government contracts.

10. The Contractor, in fulfilling its obligations under these specifications, shall implement specific affirmative action steps, at least as extensive as those standards prescribed in item 5(a-p) above, so as to achieve maximum results from its efforts to ensure equal employment opportunities.

11. The Contractor shall designate a responsible official to monitor all employment related activity to ensure that the company EEO policy is being carried out, to submit reports relating to the provisions hereof as may be required by the Government and to keep records. Records shall at least include for each employee the name, address, telephone numbers, construction trade, union affiliation if any, employee identification number when assigned, social security number, race, sex, status (e.g., mechanic apprentice, trainees, helper, or laborer), dates of changes in status, hours worked per week in the indicated trade, rate of pay, and locations at which the work was performed. Records shall be maintained in an easily understandable and retrievable form; however, to the degree that the existing records satisfy this requirement, Contractors shall not be required to maintain separate records.

12. Nothing herein provided shall be construed as a limitation upon the application of other laws that establish different standards of compliance or upon the application of requirements for the hiring of local or other area residents (e.g., those under the Public Works Employment Act of 1977 and the Community Development Block Grant Programs).

13. The Bidder’s attention is called to the “Equal Opportunity Clause” and the “Standard Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Construction Contract Specifications” set forth herein.

14. EEO/AA obligations are applicable to all of the Contractor’s construction work (whether or not it is federal or federally-assisted) performed in the covered area. The hours on minority and female employment and training must be substantially uniform throughout the length of the contract, and in each trade, and the Contractor shall make a good faith effort to employ minorities and women evenly on each of its projects. The transfer of minority or female employees or trainees from Contractor to Contractor or from project to project for the sole purpose of equalizing minority and female employment percentages shall be a violation of the contract. Compliance with equal minority and female employment utilization will be measured against the total work hours performed.

15. The Contractor shall provide written notification to the Department, for all subcontracts documents as follows: the name, address and telephone number of subcontractors and their employer identification number; the estimated dollar amount of the subcontracts; estimated starting and completion dates of the subcontracts; and the geographical area in which the contract is to be performed.

This written notification shall be required for all construction subcontracts in excess of $10,000 at any tier for construction work under the contract resulting from this project’s solicitation.

16. As used in the Bid Notice, and in the contract resulting from this project’s solicitation, the “covered area” is the State of Alaska.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

606-3.01 GENERAL. Install guardrail and terminals at the locations shown on the Plans. Conform with the Standard Drawings and these Specifications.

At locations where public traffic is adjacent to guardrail work, have all materials on site, including crashworthy terminals, that are required to completely install a segment of guardrail before beginning work on that segment.

Start guardrail installation at the “upstream” end (the end adjacent traffic will encounter first) by either installing a crashworthy terminal or connecting to an existing barrier. Continue installation in the direction of traffic. Exception: if the guardrail run will connect to existing barrier, buried in the backslope, or guardrail, existing or new bridge railing, or other existing structure at the “downstream” end, guardrail installation may be started at the point of connection.

Do not leave posts installed for guardrail within the clear zone for more than 48 hours before installing the rail. At the end of each work shift, install drums or Type II barricades with flashing warning lights to delineate incomplete sections of guardrail and terminal sections.

If guardrail runs are not completed within 10 calendar days after beginning installation, install temporary crash cushions meeting NCHRP 350 or MASH test level 3 at all non-crashworthy guardrail ends within the clear zone. Apply Traffic Price Adjustment if the Contractor does not comply with the crash cushion requirement.

Where necessary, adjust the height of existing guardrail to provide a smooth transition to new guardrail. Use 25 linear feet of guardrail or two 12’ 6” pieces of guardrail to transition to match the existing or new guardrail elements and/or end treatments.

After shaping the slopes and staking proposed guardrail terminal section locations, request the Engineer to field verify their locations. Receive approval of the staked locations before installing terminal sections.

Treat field cuts to timber posts and blockouts according to AWPA standard M 4.

Install blockouts according to manufacturer’s recommendations and as shown on the Plans.

Install side-mounted guardrail reflectors and post-mounted flexible delineators as follows:

1. At intervals noted on the plans or Standard Drawings, starting with the first guardrail post beyond terminal sections

2. With the retroreflective sheeting facing approaching traffic

3. With retroreflective sheeting on both sides, on two-way roadways

4. Not on the terminal sections, except as shown on the plans

Attach terminal markers, in a vertical position, to the P.T. post of Short Radius Guardrail sections and to the post where the flare begins for parallel guardrail terminals. Coordinate terminal marker locations with the Engineer.

1. Use one type of post material on the project unless extending an existing run of guardrail.

2. Match existing post material to extend an existing run of guardrail.

Set posts as follows:

1. Set posts plumb, in the location and to the depth shown on the Plans or Standard Drawings.

2. Choose an installation method that does not damage the post, adjacent pavement, structures, utility conduits, and final slopes. Repair all damage to the satisfaction of the Engineer, or replace the damaged item, as per subsection 105-1.11.

3. Set wood or steel posts in dug, drilled, or pre-punched holes. Steel posts may also be set by ramming or driving if:

a. The underlying material is no larger than six inch; and

b. The posts are not damaged during installation.

4. For placement in solid rock or broken rock embankment greater than six inch, set wood or steel posts in pre-dug, pre-drilled, or pre-punched holes.

5. Backfill and compact around posts with material as specified in the typical section to firmly support the post laterally and vertically. Compact under and around posts to the Engineer’s satisfaction.

606-3.03 BEAM RAIL. Fabricate metal work in the fabricator’s shop. Bend curved guardrail elements with radii less than or equal to 100 feet in the fabricator’s shop or with an approved bending apparatus.

Receive approval before field punching, cutting, or welding. Repair damaged spelter coat areas on galvanized rail elements according to AASHTO M 36.

Lap rail elements so that the exposed ends face away from approaching traffic in the adjacent lane.

Use bolts long enough to extend at least 1/4 inch beyond the nuts. Except where required for adjustments, do not extend bolts more than 1 inch beyond the nuts.

Locate bolts at expansion joints at the center of the slotted holes.

Tighten bolts at expansion joints to snug-tight. Make all other bolts fully-tight.

606-3.04 CABLE RAIL. Install cable guardrail according to the Plans and Specifications. Install at the locations shown on the Plans.

SECTION 645 TRAINING PROGRAM 01/01/16 (SSP-39) 645-1.01 DESCRIPTION. This Statewide Special Provision for on-the-job training (OJT) implements 23 CFR 230, Subpart A, Appendix B.

As part of the Equal Employment Opportunity Affirmative Action Program, the Contractor shall provide on-the- job training aimed at developing full journey status in the type of trade or job classification involved. The number of individuals to be trained and the number of hours of training to be provided under this contract will be as shown on the bid schedule.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS Project No. 0A45029/NFHWY00019 Parks Highway MP 356-362 Resurfacing Project No. 0106081/NFHWY00005a Automated Vehicle Classifier Upgrades & Construction Project No. 0002359/NFHWY00018 Old Airport Road Resurfacing 24 645-2.01 OBJECTIVE. Training and upgrading of minorities and women toward journey status is the primary objective of this program. The Contractor shall enroll minorities and/or women, where possible, and document good faith efforts prior to the hire of non-minority males in order to demonstrate compliance with this Training Special Provision. Specific good faith efforts required under this Section for the recruitment and employment of minorities and women are found in the Federal EEO Bid Conditions, Form 25A-301.

645-3.01 GENERAL. The Contractor shall determine the distribution of the required number of apprentices/trainees and the required number of hours of training among the various work classifications based upon the type of work to be performed, the size of the workforce in each trade or job classification, and the shortage of minority and female journey workers within a reasonable area of recruitment.

Training will be provided in the skilled construction crafts unless the Contractor can establish prior to contract award that training in the skilled classifications is not possible on a project; if so, the Department may then approve training either in lower level management positions such as office engineers, estimators, and timekeepers, where the training is oriented toward construction applications, or in the unskilled classifications, provided that significant and meaningful training can be provided. Some offsite training is permissible as long as the training is an integral part of an approved training program and does not comprise a significant part of the overall training.

Credit for offsite training hours indicated above may only be made to the Contractor where the apprentices/trainees are concurrently employed on the project and the Contractor does one or more of the following: contributes to the cost of the training, provides the instruction to the apprentice/trainee, or pays the apprentice's/trainee's wages during the offsite training period.

Where feasible, 25 percent of apprentices or trainees in each occupation shall be in their first year of apprenticeship or training.

Prior to award of the contract, the Contractor shall submit Form 25A-311, Training Utilization Report, indicating the training program to be used, the number of apprentices/trainees to be trained in each selected classification, the number of hours of training to be provided, and the anticipated starting time for training in each of the classifications.

Training must begin within 2 weeks of the anticipated start date(s); unless otherwise authorized by a Directive. Such authorization will be made only after submission of documentation by the Contractor, and approval by the Engineer, of efforts made in good faith which substantiate the necessity for a change.

Contractors may use a training program approved by the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Apprenticeship (USDOL/OA); or one developed by the Contractor using Form 25A-310 and approved prior to contract award by the OJT Coordinator in the DOT&PF Civil Rights Office.

The minimum length and type of training for each classification will be established in the training program selected by the Contractor. Training program approval by the Department for use under this section is on a project by project basis.

It is expected that each apprentice/trainee will begin training on the project as soon as feasible after start of work utilizing the skill involved and remain on the project as long as training opportunities exist or until training has been completed. It is not required that apprentices/trainees be continuously employed for the duration of the contract.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS Project No. 0A45029/NFHWY00019 Parks Highway MP 356-362 Resurfacing Project No. 0106081/NFHWY00005a Automated Vehicle Classifier Upgrades & Construction Project No. 0002359/NFHWY00018 Old Airport Road Resurfacing 25 If, in the judgment of the Contractor, an apprentice/trainee becomes proficient enough to qualify as a journey worker before the end of the prescribed training period and the Contractor employs that individual as a journey worker in that classification for as long as work in that area remains, the individual's training program will be considered completed and the balance of training hours required for that apprentice/trainee shall be waived.

The Contractor shall furnish each ADOT&PF training program trainee a copy of the program (Form 25A-310) to be followed during training on the project, and with a written certification showing the type and length of training completed on the project. Existing USDOL/OA apprentices should already have a copy of their program. No employee shall be employed for credit as an apprentice/trainee in a classification in which that employee has previously worked at journey status or has previously completed a training course leading to journey status.

The Contractor shall periodically review the training and promotion potential of minority and women employees and shall encourage eligible employees to apply for such training and promotion.

The Contractor shall provide for the maintenance of records and the furnishing of periodic reports documenting the progress of each apprentice/trainee. The Contractor must submit Form 25A-313 by the 15th of each month and provide each ADOT&PF trainee written evaluation reports for each unit of training provided as established on Form 25A-310.

645-3.02 WAGES. Trainees in ADOT&PF approved training programs will be paid prevailing Davis-Bacon fringe benefits plus at least 60 (but less than 100) percent of the appropriate minimum journey rate specified in the contract for the first half of the training period, at least 75 (but less than 100) percent for the third quarter of the training period, and at least 90 (but less than 100) percent for the last quarter of the training period. Trainee wages shall be identified on Form 25A-310. Apprentices in USDOL/OA training programs shall be paid in accordance with their approved program. Beginning wages of each trainee/apprentice enrolled in a Section 645 Training Program on the project shall be identified on Form 25A-312.

645-3.03 SUBCONTRACTS. In the event the Contractor subcontracts a portion of the work, he shall determine how many, if any, of the apprentices/trainees are to be trained by the subcontractor. Any such subcontracts shall include this Section 645, Form 25A-311 and Form 25A-310, where appropriate. However, the responsibility for meeting these training requirements remains with the Contractor; compliance or noncompliance with these provisions rests with the Contractor and sanctions and/or damages, if any, shall be applied to the Contractor in accordance with Subsection 645-5.01, Basis of Payment.

645-4.01 METHOD OF MEASUREMENT. The Contractor will be credited for each approved apprentice/trainee employed on the project and reimbursed on the basis of hours worked, as listed in the certified payrolls. There shall be no credit for training provided under this section prior to the Contractor's submittal and approval by the Engineer of Form 25A-312 for each apprentice/trainee trained under this Section. Upon completion of each individual training program, no further measurement for payment shall be made.

645-5.01 BASIS OF PAYMENT. Payment will be made at the contract unit price for each hour of training credited. Where a trainee or apprentice, at the discretion of the Contractor, graduates early and is employed as a journey worker in accordance with the provisions of Subsection 645-3.01, the Contractor will receive payment only for those hours of training actually provided.

This payment will be made regardless of any other training program funds the Contractor may receive, unless such other funding sources specifically prohibit the Contractor from receiving other reimbursement.

Payment for training in excess of the number of hours specified on the approved Form 25A-311 may be made only when approved by the Engineer through Change Order.

Non-compliance with these specifications shall result in the withholding of progress payments until good faith efforts documentation has been submitted and acceptable remedial action has been taken.

Payment will be at the end of the project following the completion of all training programs approved for the project. No payment or partial payment will be made to the Contractor if he fails to do any of the following and where such failure indicates a lack of good faith in meeting these requirements:

1. provide the required hours of training (as shown in the Bid Schedule and approved Form 25A-311),

2. train the required number of trainees/apprentices in each training program (as shown in the Bid Schedule and approved Form 25A-311), or

3. hire the apprentice/trainee as a journey worker in that classification upon completion of the training program for as long as work in that area remains.

Failure to provide the required training damages the effectiveness and integrity of this affirmative action program and thwarts the Department's federal mandate to bring women and minorities into the construction industry. Although precise damages to the program are impractical to calculate, they are at a minimum, equivalent to the loss to the individuals who were the intended beneficiaries of the program. Therefore, where the Contractor has failed, by the end of the project, to provide the required number of hours of training and has failed to submit acceptable good faith efforts documentation which establishes why he was unable to do so, the Contractor will be assessed an amount equal to the following damages to be deducted from the final progress payment:

Number of hours of training not provided, times the journey worker hourly scale plus benefits. The journey worker scale is that for the classification identified in the approved programs.

Payment will be made under:

All traffic markings shall meet these Specifications and the applicable portions of the Alaska Traffic Manual.

Replacement markings shall be aligned to match existing markings, and match color and width. In general, this work applies to the following locations:

4. Methyl Methacrylate Pavement Markings. Delete this numbered paragraph in its entirety and substitute the following:

a. General. 15 days before starting work meet with the Engineer for a pre-striping meeting. At this meeting, do the following:

1. Furnish a striping schedule showing areas and timing of work, placing materials and Traffic Control Plans to be used. 2. Discuss placement of materials and potential problems.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS Project No. 0A45029/NFHWY00019 Parks Highway MP 356-362 Resurfacing Project No. 0106081/NFHWY00005a Automated Vehicle Classifier Upgrades & Construction Project No. 0002359/NFHWY00018 Old Airport Road Resurfacing 55 3. Discuss work plan for off-ramps, on-ramps, and intersections. 4. Discuss material handling procedures. 5. Provide copies of the manufacturer’s installation instructions and copies of the Material Safety Data Sheets.

b. Manufacturer’s Authorized Individual. Provide the services of a manufacturer’s authorized individual (the “Manufacturer’s Representative”) on each day that striping material is installed. Ensure the Manufacturer’s Authorized Individual observes the application of the pavement marking materials. Cooperate with the Manufacturer’s Authorized Individual and the Engineer to ensure that the materials are placed according to these Specifications and the manufacturer’s recommended procedures.

c. Manufacturer Certified Installers. Install methyl methacrylate pavement markings using only striping installers certified by the marking materials manufacturer for the specific striping material and method. Submit these certifications to the Engineer at the Preconstruction Conference.

d. Manufacturer Warranty. Furnish a Warranty, signed by an individual who is authorized by the Manufacturer, according to the following:

1. The Warranty period will start on the date the Engineer accepts the work and authorizes final payment.

2. For methyl methacrylate materials, provide a two-year warranty that all markings will stay in place, maintain their color, and maintain a minimum retroreflectivity of 120 millicandellas for white and 100 millicandellas for yellow.

3. Include in the Warranty that the manufacturer will repair or replace, at the discretion of the Engineer and at no additional cost to the Department, all markings that fail to stay in place, drop below the required minimum retroreflectivity, or fail to maintain color stability during the warranty period. Complete repairs within four months of the Department’s written request to do so.

Upon the receipt of the Department’s written request to the manufacturer for repairs or replacement, the warranty time will suspend and then resume once the requested repairs or replacement are made and accepted.

If the retroreflectivity becomes a concern during the warranty period, the Engineer will measure the retroreflectivity of the area in question, using a Delta LTL2000 Retrometer, a 100-foot retro reflectometer, or similar device.

A cumulative 5% or greater material loss of any line on any 300-foot segment of longitudinal marking or cumulative 15% or greater material loss of any transverse marking will constitute failure of the material in that segment.

Perform Warranty repair work as soon as weather permits.

e. Preparation. Prepare the roadway surface to receive methyl methacrylate according to these Specifications and the manufacturer’s recommendations. Clean and dry the roadway surface. Completely remove contaminants such as dirt, loose asphalt, curing agents, surface oils, or existing road marking materials before applying pavement-marking material.

Do not apply markings to new asphalt until the asphalt has cured for at least 3 days, or unless approved by the Engineer per Manufacturer Authorized Individual’s recommendation. Perform a bond test in accordance with the manufacturer’s procedures. Apply markings upon a successful bond test.

Apply all methyl methacrylate markings prior to September 21.

For longitudinal markings use truck mounted automatic extrusion equipment capable of installing a double centerline and a single shoulder line in a single pass. Use automatic bead applicators that place a uniform layer of beads on the lines. Hand units will not be allowed, unless approved by the Engineer.

For transverse markings, words, and symbols use manual or automatic application equipment. Any stripe that is 8 inches or greater in width, regardless of orientation with the exception of lane lines, shall be considered a transverse marking. Stencils or extruders are required to form sharply defined markings.

For inlaid applications use grooving equipment that produces a dry cut. Use vacuum shrouded equipment or other equally effective containment procedures. Install markings in the same work shift as the grooving operation.

(1) Longitudinal Extruded Markings Inlaid. Groove the area for the inlaid markings to a minimum depth of 250 mils. Fill the groove completely to achieve a flush finish with the surface of the pavement for all lane lines, edge lines, and centerlines.

(2) Transverse and Symbol Markings Inlaid. Groove the area for inlaid markings to a minimum depth of 250 mils. Fill the groove completely to achieve a flush finish with the surface of the pavement for all words, arrows, stop bars, gore stripes, railroad symbols, and cross walks.

Inspect the markings initially, and again two weeks after placement, to ensure the material has cured properly. Remove soft spots or abnormally darkened areas and replace with material meeting specifications.

If it is determined that the material is being placed too thin, or otherwise not to specification, make immediate adjustments to correct the problem.

Methyl methacrylate pavement markings applied by any method will be unacceptable if:

1. The marking is not straight or wide enough. 2. The thickness of the line is not uniform or less than specified. 3. The top of the line is not smooth and uniform. 4. The material is uncured. 5. The material blackens or is inconsistent in color. 6. The inlay slot is not ground to the specified depth. 7. The inlay slot is not filled to the specified depth. 8. The edge of the markings are not clear-cut and free from overspray. 9. The reflective elements are not properly embedded. 10. The markings exhibit poor adhesion. 11. The retro-reflectivity of the markings is less than specified. 12. The color is not as specified.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS Project No. 0A45029/NFHWY00019 Parks Highway MP 356-362 Resurfacing Project No. 0106081/NFHWY00005a Automated Vehicle Classifier Upgrades & Construction Project No. 0002359/NFHWY00018 Old Airport Road Resurfacing 57 Perform repairs using equipment similar to the equipment initially used to place the materials. Do not perform repairs in a “patch-work” manner. If more than one repair is required in a single 300-foot section, grind and repair the entire section.

g. Disposal of Waste. Waste material becomes the Contractor’s property. This includes grindings and removed marking material. Do not dispose of or store stripe removal waste material or asphalt grindings on State property. Dispose of waste material according to applicable Federal, State, and local regulations.

h. Sampling. On an 8.5”x11” sheet of paper, record the following readings and the locations where they were taken using project stationing and submit them to the Engineer within 24 hours for evaluation.

(1) For inlay applications, record the depth of the slot every 300 feet during the grinding operation. Measure depth of slot from the surface of pavement.

(2) Measure the retroreflectivity of each transverse marking at three locations, and of each longitudinal marking at intervals not to exceed 1,500 feet. Take these measurements using a Delta LTL2000 Retrometer, a 100-foot retro-reflectometer, or approved similar device. Perform testing within 72 hours of curing.

The Engineer may elect to use the Contractor’s readings or perform additional sampling.

Describe the frequency inspections will occur at your site, including any correlations to storm frequency and intensity.

Note that inspection details for particular BMPs should be included in Section 11 or appendices.

11.1 Inspection schedules (5.4.1.2; 6.1; 6.2)

Refer to 2016 ACGP Part 6.1 for inspection frequency requirements.

Required inspection frequency is based on mean annual precipitation for the site. Refer to Section 3.2 of the ESCP for annual precipitation data.

Identify dates of winter shutdown, if applicable. Refer to 2016 ACGP Appendix C for definitions of Winter Shutdown, Fall Freeze-Up, and Spring Thaw. See the “Fall Freeze Probabilities” for the weather station closest to the site on the website www.wrcc.dri.edu/summary/climsmak.html

Inspection frequency:

For areas of the state where the mean annual precipitation is forty (40) inches or greater, or receives relatively continuous precipitation or sequential storm events, inspect at least once every seven (7) calendar days.

For areas receiving less that forty (40) inches of annual precipitation, inspect at one of the two following frequencies:

1) Once every seven calendars days; or

2) Once every 14 calendar days and within 24 hours of the end of a storm event that resulted in a discharge from the site

Justification for reduction in inspection frequency, if applicable: Inspection frequency may be reduced to once every 30 days and within 2 business days of the end of a storm event if the entire site is at least temporarily stabilized. Rain event inspections need not be conducted during this period unless the site is actively staffed.

Estimated date of fall freeze-up. For the purposes of this permit, means for planning purposes in the development of the SWPPP and initial planning of control measure maintenance the date in the fall that air temperatures will be predominately below freezing. It is the date in the fall that has an 80% probability that a minimum temperature below a threshold of 32.5 degrees Fahrenheit will occur on or after the given date. This date can be found by looking up the “Fall ‘Freeze’ Probabilities” for the weather station closest to the site on the website www.wrcc.dri.edu/summary/Climsmak.html.

Identify how conditions found that require corrective action will be addressed:

The following guidelines apply for setting corrective action complete-by dates as required by the ACGP:

For conditions that are easily remedied (i.e., removal of tracked sediment, maintenance of control measures, or spill clean-up), the permittee must initiate appropriate steps to correct the problem within twenty-four (24) hours and correct the problem as soon as possible; or

If installation of a new control measure is needed or an existing control measure requires significant redesign and reconstruction or replacement, the permittee must install the new or modified measure and make it operational within seven (7) calendar days from the time of discovery of the need for the corrective action, unless it is not practicable.

Additionally, deadlines for completion of corrective actions shall be selected to protect water quality and prior to the next storm event unless impracticable.

Corrective Action Log

The corrective action log will document the following within 24 hours of discovery of any conditions listed in Part 8.1 of the ACGP:

• Date the problem was identified • Summary of corrective action taken or to be taken • Notice of whether SWPPP modifications were required as a result of this discovery or corrective action • Date corrective action completed and name of person completing the action

Use Form 25D- 112 in Appendix J of the SWPPP.

In the event there is a reason (outside of the project staff’s control) that a corrective action cannot practicably be completed by the set complete-by date, DOT&PF will complete a Delayed Action Item Report (Form 25D-113). This form will set a new complete-by date and document the reason that the previous date could not be met.
