10. MBE/WBE CONTRACT COMPLIANCE PROGRAM
PURPOSE
The purpose of the Contract Compliance Program (hereinafter called program) is to act
as an impetus for increasing the participation of minority and women disadvantaged
business enterprise (MBE/WBE) in City awarded construction contracts.
INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS Section IB-3
4463.004/City Contract No. 994
The Program does not propose to eliminate any bonafide contractor or subcontractor
from bidding on City contracts, but it will hopefully serve as a needed stimulus to help
local MBE/WBE's grow and eventually become mainstream contractors and
subcontractors.
This Contract Compliance Program does not propose to include any set-aside or quotas,
but only flexible goals where "good-faith efforts" are required by the contractor to use
MBE/WBE subcontractors.
This Program shall not eliminate the need for contractors to continue their "good-faith
efforts" in using MBE/WBE subcontractors on City contracts estimated at less than
$50,000.
The City of Waterloo will make every effort to reduce in-house construction and
maintenance work that would be more cost effectively performed by the private sector
and, thus, would allow additional bidding opportunities for MBE/WBE firms.
The City Contract Compliance Officer shall be advised of all City of Waterloo awarded
construction contracts.
DEFINITIONS
Goals:
A flexible numerically expressed objective which contractors are required to make
"good-faith efforts." The key to the requirement is to make documented efforts. Goals
are neither set-a-sides nor a device to achieve proportional representation or equal
results. Numerical goals do not create set-a-sides for specific groups, nor are they
designed to achieve proportional representation or equal results. Rather, the goal-setting
process in affirmative action planning is used to target and measure the effectiveness of
affirmative action efforts to eradicate and prevent discrimination.
Quota:
A flat numerical requirement that the contractor is required to meet in order to obtain the
benefit or be in compliance. The numerical goal component of affirmative action
programs is not designed to be, nor may it properly or lawfully be interpreted as,
permitting unlawful preferential treatment and quotas with respect to persons of any
race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The regulations at 41 CFR 60-2.12(a),
60-2.15 and 60-2.30, specifically prohibit discrimination and the use of goals as quotas.
(U.S. Department of Labor)

work bid on, judgment, financial responsibility, and evidence of working with the
Affirmative Action Employment Program and the Contract Compliance Program.

STATE REVOLVING FUND Section SRF-15
4463.004/City Contract No. 994
8. Contractors are encouraged to participate in voluntary associations which assist in
fulfilling one or more of their affirmative action obligations (7a through p). The efforts of a
contractor association, joint contractor-union, contractor-community, or other similar group of
which the contractor is a member and participant, may be asserted as fulfilling any one or more
of its obligations under 7a through 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 reflected in the Contractor's minority and female workforce participation, makes
a good faith effort to meet its individual goals and timetables, 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.
9. A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for women have been established.
The Contractor, however, is required to provide equal employment opportunity and to take
affirmative action for all minority groups, both male and female, and all women, both minority
and non-minority. Consequently, the Contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a
particular group is employed in a substantially disparate manner (for example, even though the
Contractor has achieved its goals for women generally, the Contractor may be in violation of the
Executive Order if a specific minority group of women is underutilized).
10. The Contractor shall not use the goals and timetable or affirmative action :,tandards to
discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, or national c-igin.
11. The Contractor shall not enter into any Subcontract with any person or firm debarred
from Government contracts pursuant to Executive Order 11246.
12. The Contractor shall carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of these
specifications and of the Equal Opportunity Clause, including suspension, termination and
cancellation of existing subcontracts as may be imposed or ordered pursuant to Executive
Order 11246, as amended, and its implementing regulations, by the Office of Federal Contract
Compliance Programs. Any Contractor who fails to carry out such sanctions and penalties shall
be in violation of these specifications and Executive Order 11246, as amended.
13. The Contractor, in fulfilling its obligations under these specifications, shall mplement
specific affirmative action steps at least as extensive as those standards prescribed in
paragraph 7 of these specifications so as to achieve maximum results from its efforts to ensure
equal employment opportunity. If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of the
Executive Order, the implementing regulations, or these specifications, the Director shall
proceed in accordance with 41 CFR 60-4.8.
14. 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, trainee, helper, or laborer), dates of
changes in status, hours worked per week in the indicated trade, rate of pay, and locations at
which the work was performed. Records shall be maintained in an easily understandable and
retrievable form; however, to the degree that existing records satisfy this requirement,
contractors shall not be required to maintain separate records.

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

1. The Offeror's or Bidder's attention is called to the "Equal Opportunity Clause" and the
"Standard Federal Equal Employment Specifications" set forth herein.
2. The goals and timetables for minority and female participation, expressed in percentage
terms for the Contractor's aggregate workforce in each trade on all construction work in
the covered area, are as follows:
(See Appendix B-80 and Appendix A Below)
These goals are applicable to all the Contractor's construction work (whether or not it is Federal
or federally assisted) performed in the covered area. If the contractor performs construction
work in a geographical area located outside of the covered area, it shall apply the goals
established for such geographical area where the work is actually performed. With regard to this
second area, the contractor also is subject to the goals for both its federally involved and non-
federally involved construction.
The Contractor's compliance with the Executive Order and in the regulations in 41 CFR Part
60-4 shall be based on its implementation of the Equal Opportunity Clause, specific affirmative
action obligations required by the specifications set forth in 41 CFR 60-4.3(a), and its efforts to
_ meet the goals. The hours of minority and female employment and training must be
substantially uniform throughout the length of the contract, and in each trade, and the contractor
shall make a good faith effort to employ minorities and women evenly on each of its projects.
The transfer of minority or female employees or trainees from Contractor to Contractor or from
project to project for the sole purpose of meeting the Contractor's goals shall be a violation of
the contract, the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4. Compliance with
the goals will be measured against the total work hours performed.
3. The Contractor shall provide written notification to the Director of the Office of Federal
Contract Compliance Programs within 10 working days of award of any construction
-- subcontract in excess of$10,000 at any tier for construction work under the contract

B. Federal Labor Standards Provisions (including Davis-Bacon prevailing wage rates)
Applicability
The Project or Program to which the construction work covered by this contract pertains is being
assisted by the United States of America and the following Federal Labor Standards Provisions
are included in this Contract pursuant to the provisions applicable to such Federal assistance.
(1) Minimum wages. (i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the
work will be paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and without subsequent
deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by
regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR part 3)), the full
amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of
payment computed at rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the
Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any
contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor and such laborers
and mechanics.Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits
under section 1(b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered
wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of
this section; also, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period
(but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs which cover the particular
weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period.
Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the
wage determination for the classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill,
STATE REVOLVING FUND Section SRF-20
4463.004/City Contract No. 994
except as provided in Sec. 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one
classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time
actually worked therein: Provided, That the employer's payroll records accurately set forth the
time spent in each classification in which work is performed. The wage determination (including
any additionalclassification and wage rates conformed under paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section)
and the Davis-Bacon poster (WH-1321) shall be posted at all times by the contractor and its
subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can be easily
seen by the workers.
(ii)(A) The contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics, including
helpers, which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the
contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. The contracting officer
shall approve an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when
the following criteria have been met:
(1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed b i a
classification in the wage determination; and
(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and
(3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable
relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination.
(B) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if
known), or their representatives, and the contracting officer agree on the classification and wage
rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the
action taken shall be sent by the contracting officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour
Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, DC
20210. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove
every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting
officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is
necessary.
(C) In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification
or their representatives, and the contracting officer do not agree on the proposed classification
and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the
contracting officer shall refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the
recommendation of the contracting officer, to the Administrator for determination. The
Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of
_ receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day
period that additional time is necessary.
(D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to
paragraphs (a)(1)(ii) (B) or (C) of this section, shall be paid to all workers performing work in the
classification under this contract from the first day on which work is performed in the
classification.
(iii) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or
mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor
shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide
fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof.
(iv) If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the contractor
may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs
reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, Provided,
_�. That the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the contractor, that the
applicable standards of the Davis-Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of La::)or may
require the contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations
under the plan or program.
STATE REVOLVING FUND Section SRF-21
4463.004/City Contract No. 994
(2) Withholding. The EPA shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized
representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor
under this contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other
federally-assisted contract subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, which is held
by the same prime contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be
considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and
helpers, employed by the contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by
the contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice,
trainee, or helper, employed or working on the site of the work, all or part of the wages required
by the contract, the EPA may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or
owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment,
advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased.
(3) Payrolls and basic records. (i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be
maintained by the contractor during the course of the work and preserved for a period of three
years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work. Such records
shall contain the name, address, and social security number of each such worker, his or her
correct classification, hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs
anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in
section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours worked,
deductions made and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29
CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs
reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in section
1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, the contractor shall maintain records which show that the
commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially
responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or
mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in
providing such benefits. Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under approved
programs shall maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs and
certification of trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios
and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs.
(ii)(A) The contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any contract work is
performed a copy of all payrolls to the (write in name of appropriate federal agency) if the
agency is a party to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the contractor will submit
the payrolls to the applicant, sponsor, or owner, as the case may be, for transmission to the
(write in name of agency). The payrolls submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of
the information required to be maintained under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i), except that full social
security numbers and home addresses shall not be included on weekly transmittals. Instead the
payrolls shall only need to include an individually identifying number for each employee (e.g.,
the last four digits of the employee's social security number). The required weekly payroll
information may be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH-347 is available for this
purpose from the Wage and Hour Division Web site at
http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/forms/wh347instr.htm or its successor site. The prime contractor is
responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors. Contractors and
subcontractors shall maintain the full social security number and current address of each
covered worker, and shall provide them upon request to the (write in name of appropriate
federal agency) if the agency is a party to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the
contractor will submit them to the applicant, sponsor, or owner, as the case may be, for
transmission to the (write in name of agency), the contractor, or the Wage and Hour Division of
the Department of Labor for purposes of an investigation or audit of compliance with prevailing
wage requirements. It is not a violation of this section for a prime contractor to require a
subcontractor to provide addresses and social security numbers to the prime contractor for its
STATE REVOLVING FUND Section SRF-22
4463.004/City Contract No. 994
own records, without weekly submission to the sponsoring government agency (o the applicant,
sponsor, or owner).
(B) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a "Statement of Compliance," signed by
the contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of the
persons employed under the contract and shall certify the following:
(1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be provided
under Sec. 5.5 (a)(3)(ii) of Regulations, 29 CFR part 5, the appropriate information is being
maintained under Sec. 5.5 (a)(3)(i) of Regulations, 29 CFR part 5, and that such information is
correct and complete;
(2) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper, apprentice, and trainee) employed
on the contract during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages earned, without
rebate, either directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been made either directly or
indirectly from the full wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set forth in
Regulations, 29 CFR part 3;
(3) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and
fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the classification of work performed, as spe;ified in the
applicable wage determination incorporated into the contract.
(C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of
Optional Form WH-347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the "Staterient of
Compliance" required by paragraph (a)(3)(ii)(B) of this section.
(D) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor or
subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under section 1001 of title 18 and section 231 of
title 31 of the United States Code.
(iii) The contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph (a)(3)(i)
of this section available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of
the EPA or the Department of Labor, and shall permit such representatives to interview
employees during working hours on the job. If the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the
required records or to make them available, the Federal agency may, after written notice to the
contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary tc cause the
suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to
submit the required records upon request or to make such records available may ie grounds for
debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12.
(4) Apprentices and trainees--(i) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to v\ork at less
than the predetermined rate for the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to
and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with tie U.S.
Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of
Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency
recognized by the Office, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of probationary
employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually
registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Office of Apprenticeship Training,
Employer and Labor Services or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be
eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to
journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted
- to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on
a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated
above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the
classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job
site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the
applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. Where a
contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its
program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman's
STATE REVOLVING FUND Section SRF-23
4463.004/City Contract No. 994
hourly rate) specified in the contractor's or subcontractor's registered program shall be
observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered
program for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen
hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe
benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship
program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe
benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator
determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes
shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the event the Office of Apprenticeship
Training, Employer and Labor Services, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the
Office, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the contractor will no longer be
permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work
performed until an acceptable program is approved.
(ii) Trainees. 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 U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The
ratio of trainees to journeymen on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan
approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not
less than the rate specified in the approved program for the trainee's level of progress,
expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in the applicable wage
determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the
trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid
the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of
the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with
the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less
than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who
is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training
Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rateon 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. In the event
the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the
contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable
predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.
(iii) Equal employment opportunity. The utilization of apprentices, trainees and journeymen
under this part shall be in conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of
Executive Order 11246, as amended, and 29 CFR part 30.
(5) Compliance with Copeland Act requirements. The contractor shall comply with the
requirements of 29 CFR part 3, which are incorporated by reference in this contract.
(6) Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses
contained in 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1) through (10) and such other clauses as the (write in the name of
the Federal agency) may by appropriate instructions require, and also a clause requiring the
subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor
shall be responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all
the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5.
(7) Contract termination: debarment. A breach of the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5 may be
grounds for termination of the contract, and for debarment as a contractor and a subcontractor
as provided in 29 CFR 5.12.
STATE REVOLVING FUND Section SRF-24
4463.004/City Contract No. 994
(8) Compliance with Davis-Bacon and Related Act requirements. All rulings anc
interpretations of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts contained in 29 CFR parts 1, 3, and 5 are
herein incorporated by reference in this contract.
(9) Disputes concerning labor standards. Disputes arising out of the labor standards
provisions of this contract shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of this contract.
Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the Department of Labor
set forth in 29 CFR parts 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the meaning of this clause include disputes
between the contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the U.S.
Department of Labor, or the employees or their representatives.
(10) Certification of eligibility. (i) By entering into this contract, the contractor certifies that
neither it (nor he or she) nor any person or firm who has an interest in the contractor's firm is a
person or firm ineligible to be awarded Government contracts by virtue of section 3(a) of the
Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1).
(ii) No part of this contract shall be subcontracted to any person or firm ineligibl, for award of
a Government contract by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 OFF 5.12(a)(1).
(iii) The penalty for making false statements is prescribed in the
U.S. Criminal Code, 18 U.S.C. 1001.
(b) Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. The Agency Head shall cause or require
the contracting officer to insert the following clauses set forth in paragraphs (b)(1) (2), (3), and
(4) of this section in full in any contract in an amount in excess of$100,000 and subject to the
overtime provisions of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. These clauses shall
be inserted in addition to the clauses required by Sec. 5.5(a) or 4.6 of part 4 of this title. As used
in this paragraph, the terms laborers and mechanics include watchmen and guards.
(1) Overtime requirements. No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the
contract work which may require or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall
require or permit any such laborer or mechanic in any workweek in which he or she is employed
on such work to work in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such laborer or
mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half times the basic rate of
pay for all hours worked in excess of forty hours in such workweek.
(2) Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In the event of any violation of
the clause set forth in paragraph (b)(1) of this section the contractor and any subcontractor
responsible therefor shall be liable for the unpaid wages. In addition, such contractor and
subcontractor shall be liable to the United States (in the case of work done under contract for
the District of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory), for liquidated
damages. Such liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer or
mechanic, including watchmen and guards, employed in violation of the clause set forth in
paragraph (b)(1) of this section, in the sum of$10 for each calendar day on which such
individual was required or permitted to work in excess of the standard workweek c f forty hours

C. Preservation of Open Competition and Government Neutrality Towards
Government Contractors' Labor Relations on Federal and Federally Funded
Construction Projects (Executive Order 13202, as amended by Executive Order
13208)
Executive Order 13202, signed February 17, 2001 and amended April 4, 2001, requires all
executive agencies that issue grants to ensure Government neutrality toward contractors' labor
relations. This applies to recipients of SRF assistance. The Executive Order prohibits
discrimination against contractors and their employees in construction contracts based upon
labor affiliation or lack thereof.
SRF assistance recipients and any construction managers acting on their behalf must ensure
that bidding specifications, project agreements, and other controlling documents c:o not require,
prohibit, or otherwise discriminate, with respect to labor affiliation or lack thereof.
D. Historical and Archeological Finds
If, during the course of construction, evidence of deposits of historical or archeological interest is
found, the contractor shall cease operations affecting the find. The owner shall then notify the
- State Revolving Fund Environmental Review Specialist, who shall in turn notify the State
Historic Preservation Office. The SRF shall consult with the SHPO and other interested parties
to determine the proper course of action regarding the discovery. No further disturbance of the
-- deposits shall ensue until the SRF Environmental Review Specialist determines that the project
activities in that area may proceed. Compensation to the contractor, if any, for lost time or
changes in construction to avoid the find, shall be determined in accordance with changed
conditions or change order provisions of the specifications.
Authority for this derives from the National Historic Preservation Act (16 U.S.C. §§ 470 et seq.)
and 36 CFR Part 800. If human remains are discovered then state law also applies IC 263B.
STATE REVOLVING FUND Section SRF-26
4463.004/City Contract No. 994
E. Prohibitions on Procurement from Violating Facilities (Section 306, Clean Air Act;
Section 508, Clean Water Act; Executive Order 11738)
Both the Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act prohibit federal agencies from extending
assistance by way of loans or contracts to persons who have been convicted of violations of
either law. Executive Order 11738 was issued to coordinate enforcement by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, which shall designate facilities which have given rise to a
conviction for an offense under the criminal provisions of the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water
Act.
The Executive Order also prohibits agencies from extending assistance to facilities, that are not
in compliance with either Act.
SRF assistance recipients may not procure goods, services, or materials from sur pliers listed
by the EPA as violators.

SRF Required Front-End Specifications
"American Iron and Steel" Requirements
H.R. 3547, the "Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014," enacted January 17, 2014 by the U.S.
Congress, includes "American Iron and Steel" provisions that require Clean Water and Drinking
Water State Revolving Fund assistance recipients of these funds to use iron and :steel produced
in the United States.
H.R. 3547 includes the following language in Division G, Title IV, under the headir g, "Use of
American Iron and Steel":
Sec. 436. (a)(1) None of the funds made available by a State water pollution control
revolving fund as authorized by title VI of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C.
1381 et seq.) or made available by a drinking water treatment revolving loan fund as
authorized by section 1452 of the Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. 300j-12) shall be
used for a project for the construction, alteration, maintenance, or repair of a public water
system or treatment works unless all of the iron and steel products used in the project are
produced in the United States.
(2) In this section, the term "iron and steel products" means the following products made
primarily of iron and steel: lined or unlined pipes and fittings, manhole coverE and other
municipal castings, hydrants, tanks, flanges, pipe clamps and restraints, valvE:::•s, structural
steel, reinforced precast concrete, and construction materials.
(b) Subsection (a) shall not apply in any case or category of cases in which tr e
Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (in this section referrec to as the
"Administrator") find that-
- (1) applying subsection (a) would be inconsistent with the public interest;
(2) iron and steel products are not produced in the United States in sufficient and
reasonably available quantities and of a satisfactory quantity; or
(3) inclusion of iron and steel products produced in the United States will increase the
cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent.
(c) If the Administrator receives a request for a waiver under this section, the Administrator
shall make available to the public on an informal basis a copy of the request and
information available to the Administrator concerning the request, and shall allow for
informal public input on the request for at least 15 days prior to making a finding based on
the request. The Administrator shall make the request and accompanying information
available by electronic means, including on the official public Internet Web site of the
Environmental Protection Agency.
The final guidance and any published waivers are found at:
http://water.epa.gov/grants funding/aisrequirement.cfm. In particular the contractor should pay
attention to the guidance for documentation of compliance. There is also a waiver for incidental
items; in order to qualify for this waiver the total materials and costs for the project must be
tracked and incidental items identified.
STATE REVOLVING FUND Section SRF-28
4463.004/City Contract No. 994
Sample "American Iron and Steel"Contract Language
In order to fulfill the requirements, the assistance recipient must in good faith design the project
and solicit bids for construction with U.S.-made iron and steel. The following information will be
included in any contracts resulting from this request for bids:
The Contractor acknowledges to and for the benefit of the City of
("Purchaser") and the State of Iowa (the "State") that it understands the goods and services under
this Agreement are being funded with monies made available by the Clean Water State
Revolving Fund and/or Drinking Water State Revolving Fund and such law contains provisions
commonly known as "American Iron and Steel;" that requires all of the iron and steel products
used in the project to be produced in the United States ("American Iron and Steel Requirement")
including iron and steel products provided by the Contactor pursuant to this Agreement.
The Contractor hereby represents and warrants to and for the benefit of the Purchaser and the
State that (a) the Contractor has reviewed and understands the American Iron and Steel
Requirement, (b) all of the iron and steel products used in the project will be and/or have been
produced in the United States in a manner that complies with the American Iron and Steel
Requirement, unless a waiver of the requirement is approved, and (c) the Contractor will provide
-- any further verified information, certification or assurance of compliance with this paragraph, or
information necessary to support a waiver of the American Iron and Steel Requirement, as may
be requested by the Purchaser or the State.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any failure to comply with this
paragraph by the Contractor shall permit the Purchaser or State to recover as damages against the
Contractor any loss, expense, or cost(including without limitation attorney's fees) incurred by
the Purchaser or State resulting from any such failure (including without limitation any
impairment or loss of funding, whether in whole or in part, from the State or any damages owed
to the State by the Purchaser). While the Contractor has no direct contractual privity with the
State, as a lender to the Purchaser for the funding of its project, the Purchaser and the Contractor
agree that the State is a third-party beneficiary and neither this paragraph (nor any other
provision of this Agreement necessary to give this paragraph force or effect) shall be amended or
waived without the prior written consent of the State.
Sample Certifications
As indicated in the contract language, it will be the responsibility of the Contractor to obtain
certifications that the products and materials used in the project are U.S.-made. EPA
recommends the use of a step certification process for documenting compliance with AIS
requirements, similar to one used by the Federal Highway Administration. Step certification
creates a paper trail which documents the location of the manufacturing process involved with
the production of steel and iron materials. Each handler (supplier, fabricator, manufacturer,
processor, coater, etc.) of the iron and steel products certifies that their step in the process was
domestically performed.
The following information is provided as a sample letter of step certification for AIS compliance.
Documentation must be provided on company letterhead. In this example, there may be
multiple letters from different manufacturers if one manufacturer did not perform all of the steps.

Alternatively, the final manufacturer that delivers the iron or steel product to the worksite,
vendor, or contractor, may provide a certification asserting that all manufacturing processes
—
occurred in the U.S. and providing detailed information on the steps involved.
The following is a template for this type of final certification.
STATE REVOLVING FUND Section SRF-30
4463.004/City Contract No. 994
Covered and Non-Covered Items
The EPA issued a waiver for de minimus incidental components of eligible water and
wastewater infrastructure projects. Funds used for such de minimus incidental components
cumulatively may comprise no more than a total of 5% of the total cost of the materials used in
_ and incorporated into a project. The cost of an individual incidental item may not exceed 1% of
the total cost of the materials used in and incorporated into a project.
De minimus incidental items include miscellaneous, generally low-cost components that are
essential for, but incidental to, the construction and are incorporated into the physical structure
of the project. For many of these incidental components, the country of manufacture and the
availability of alternatives are not readily or reasonably identifiable prior to procurement in the
normal course of business. For others, the country of manufacture may be known but the
miscellaneous character in conjunction with the low cost, individually and (in total) as typically
procured in bulk, mark them as properly incidental.
Examples of incidental components could include small washers, screws, fasteners (i.e., nuts
and bolts), miscellaneous wire, corner bead, ancillary tube, etc. Examples of items that are
clearly not incidental include significant process fittings (i.e., tees, elbows, flanges, and
brackets), distribution system fittings and valves, force main valves, pipes, treatment and
storage tanks, large structural supports, etc.
Assistance recipients should in consultation with their contractors determine the items to be
covered by this waiver, must retain relevant documentation (i.e. invoices) as to those items, and
must summarize in reports to the State of Iowa the types and/or categories of items to which
this waiver is applied, the total cost of incidental components for each type or category, and the
calculations by which they determined the total cost of materials used in and incorporated into
the project.
The successful bidder will fill out the materials spreadsheet (shown below) and submit it to the
assistance recipient to indicate covered and non-covered items proposed to be procured for the
project.

1.04 CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
A. In general, the following contract completion Milestones shall be followed. See Agreement
for specific dates:
1. Substantial Completion: CONTRACTOR shall by that date, have the entire project
substantially completed.
B. General Information and Requirements:
1 . Currently, wastewater treatment at the City of Waterloo Water Pollution Control Facility
consists of two equalization basins and two treatment facilities;the Easton Avenue Plant
and the Satellite Plant. The facility receives wastewater from two separate dedicated
trunk lines. Industrial wastewater for the northeast section of the City, currently
consisting of pretreated wastewater from Tyson and Eagle Tanning, is sent to the
Satellite Plant, while the rest of the City's wastewater is sent to the Easton Avenue Plant
via the other trunk line. Industrial wastewater arriving at the Satellite Plant can be treated at the Satellite Plant or diverted to the Easton Avenue Plant. The Satellite Plant is
currently not in operation and all wastewater is treated at the Easton Plant.
Wastewater treatment at the Easton Avenue Plant consists of preliminary screening,
grit removal, primary clarification, activated sludge aeration, final clarification, and
ultraviolet disinfection. Treated effluent is discharged to the Cedar River via a diffuser.
When in operation, the Satellite Plant receives pretreated industrial wastewater and
consists of activated sludge aeration and final clarification. When not in operation,
wastewater from the Satellite Plant trunk line is routed directly to the Easton Plant
aeration basins, bypassing the headworks and primary clarification.
Sludge handling and disposal currently consists of the following:
Waste activated sludge (WAS) is removed from the Easton and Satellite return
activated sludge (RAS) headers for wasting using automated control valves and
flow meters. The WAS is pumped to three WAS Tanks in the WAS Building
(Structure 170) for storage until it is pumped to three gravity belt thickeners (GBTs)
located in the Thickener Building (Structure 180). Scum from the final clarifiers is
also pumped to the WAS Tanks in the WAS Building. The WAS Tanks are mixed
using coarse-bubble aeration and three positive displacement blowers.
Thickened activated sludge (TAS or TWAS) is pumped from the GBTs by using
three TWAS transfer pumps to the three TAS or blended sludge (BSL) tanks at the
TAS Building/Digester Feed Building (Structure 190). In these tanks, the TAS or
BSL is mixed with the primary sludge from the Easton Plant and primary scum to
provide a consistent feed to the anaerobic digesters. Primary sludge is pumped to
the TAS or BSL tanks using three rotary lobe pumps. Prior to pumping, the primary
sludge passes through two sludge grinders. Mixing is provided in the TAS or BSL
tanks with four vertical shaft mixers.
Sludge is pumped from the TAS or BSL tanks to the six anaerobic digesters using
four progressive cavity pumps. The anaerobic digestion system uses a
temperature-phased anaerobic digestion (TPAD) process with two thermophilic
primary digesters (Digester Nos. 3 and 6) and four mesophilic secondary digesters.
Digesters Nos. 1 and 4 are equipped with floating covers for digester gas storage.
Section 01 11 00-2
4463.004/City Contract No.994
The digesters are heated using a hot water boiler system. l he TPAD system
produces a Class A biosolids.
Digested sludge (DSL) is pumped from the digesters to the Sludge Storage Tank
(Structure 320) where it is stored until it is dewatered using three belt filter presses
located in the Dewatering Building (Structure 330). The dewatered sludge is land
applied by a contract hauler.
2. Wastewater treatment during construction must be continuous and the treatment
efficiency must be equal to that achieved prior to the start of construction.
3. It shall be the responsibility of CONTRACTOR to not in any way impair the normal
treatment or operating efficiency of the facilities, regardless of the work underway. No
bypassing of raw or partially treated wastewater to receiving stream shall occur at any
time as a result of construction. In general, this requires that new facilities be complete
and ready for service or that temporary facilities be provided prior to removing existing
units from service for modification or repair. CONTRACTOR shall provide all temporary
piping, bypass pumping, and temporary construction required to complete the Work.
4. Operation of existing treatment facilities will be the responsibility of CITY.
CONTRACTOR shall cooperate with CITY's staff at all times. A minimum of 48 hours
prior to making any process or electrical connections to existing facilities or modification
or demolition of existing facilities, CONTRACTOR shall notify CITY in writing. For any
outage noted in this construction sequence, CONTRACTOR shall notify CITY in writing
a minimum of 7 days prior to the outage.At the time of notification, CONTRACTOR shall
submit a schedule for completion of the Work, including a description of measures that
will be taken to minimize the impact to existing facilities.
5. Except as specified, CITY will drain existing tanks to the level of the lowest existing drain
line or will remove tank contents using existing piping and pumping equipment.
Subsequent cleaning or further draining and/or pumping shall be provided by
CONTRACTOR. If there exists sludge, grit, or other residue that cannot be drained or
pumped in its present state, it shall be the responsibility of CONTRACTOR to remove
and dispose of this material at a licensed landfill.
6. Access: CONTRACTOR shall maintain roadways open at all times to meet CITY's
requirements, including access for sludge hauling vehicles and chemical deliveries.
CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for maintaining roadways in drivable condition,
_ including placement of temporary stone and gravel and providing drainage as
necessary. All CITY-owned roadways around the treatment facility shall be cleaned of
construction site materials, soil, and debris as necessary.
7. Unless otherwise specified or shown on the Drawings, new facilities shall be completed
and ready for service and placed into successful operation before existing facilities are
taken out of service for modification/upgrading. No more than one existing treatment
unit may be taken out of service at a time when making piping interconnections, etc., so
that the remaining units are available for treatment. CONTRACTOR shall coordinate
taking units out of service and placing units back in service with CITY.
8. CONTRACTOR shall not commence work on any deductive alternative(s) until
requesting and obtaining CITY's written authorization.
9. CONTRACTOR shall maintain plant site roadways open at all times to meet CITY's
requirements, including access for magnesium hydroxide deliveries to the Magnesium
Hydroxide Building (Structure 115) and for polymer for the deliveries to both the

Documents, to deliver to CONSULTANT all required proof that the material or
workmanship, or both, meet or exceed the requirements of the specifically named
code or standard.

— _ showed a
proposed construction. It was noted that the tank will be installed east of the existing dewaterng building. All
separation distances will be met.As noted in the submitted documents,Harold Getty Lake is closer than 400
feet(at 100')from the existing equalization basins.The proposed construction is southeast of the EQ basins.
The proposed construction is within the footprint of the current WWTP;therefore,this construction will maintain
90%of the existing separation distances.
CONCLUSION:This site is approved at the submitted location.

mi Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave
for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the
Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any
mi solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this
contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide
employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours
they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.
Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their
own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including
preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is
like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other
health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons

resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is
like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic
violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information
on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO
is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.
Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within
the scope of the classifications listed may be added after
award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses
(29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii) ) .
The body of each wage determination lists the classification
and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the
cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage
determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical
order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular LLL...
rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local) ,
a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate
(weighted union average rate) .
Union Rate Identifiers
A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed
in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" or
"UAVG" denotes that the union classification and rate were
prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example: L.
PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of
the union which prevailed in the survey for this
classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198
indicates the local union number or district council number
where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number,
005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing
the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the
most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1,
2014.
Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate
changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing L.
this classification and rate.
Survey Rate Identifiers
Classifications listed under the "SU" identifier indicate that
no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and
the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average
rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that
classification. As this weighted average rate includes all
rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and
non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates
the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average
calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates
the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which
these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007
in the example, is an internal number used in producing the
wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion
date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.
https://www.wdol.gov/wdol/scafiles/davisbacon/IA3.dvb?v=0 2/7/2019
Page 9 of 10
1
Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a
new survey is conducted.
Union Average Rate Identifiers
Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate
that no single majority rate prevailed for those
classifications; however, 1000 of the data reported for the
classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010
08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union
average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in
the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage
determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date
for the classifications and rates under that identifier.
A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of
each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current
negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is
based.

Note: Under Executive Order (EO) 13658, an hourly minimum wage
of $10.60 for calendar year 2019 applies to all contracts
subject to the Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is
awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January
1, 2015. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor
must pay all workers in any classification listed on this wage
determination at least $10.60 per hour (or the applicable wage
rate listed on this wage determination, if it is higher) for
— all hours spent performing on the contract in calendar year
2019. If this contract is covered by the EO and a
classification considered necessary for performance of work on
the contract does not appear on this wage determination, the
contractor must pay workers in that classification at least the
wage rate determined through the conformance process set forth
in 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(ii) (or the EO minimum wage rate,if it is
higher than the conformed wage rate). The EO minimum wage rate
will be adjusted annually. Please note that this EO applies to
the above-mentioned types of contracts entered into by the
federal government that are subject to the Davis-Bacon Act
itself, but it does not apply to contracts subject only to the
Davis-Bacon Related Acts, including those set forth at 29 CFR
5.1(a)(2)-(60). Additional information on contractor
requirements and worker protections under the EO is available

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave
for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the
Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any
solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this
contract is covered by the E0, the contractor must provide
employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours
they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.
Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their
own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including
preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is
like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other
health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons
resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is
like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic
violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information
on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO
is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.
Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within
the scope of the classifications listed may be added after
award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses
(29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).
The body of each wage determination lists the classification
and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the
cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage
determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical
order of ""identifiers"" that indicate whether the particular
rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local),
a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate
(weighted union average rate).
Union Rate Identifiers
A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed
in dotted lines beginning with characters other than ""SU"" or
""UAVG"" denotes that the union classification and rate were
prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:
PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of
the union which prevailed in the survey for this
classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198
indicates the local union number or district council number
where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number,
005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the
most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1,
2014.
Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate
changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing
this classification and rate.
Survey Rate Identifiers
Classifications listed under the ""SU"" identifier indicate that
no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and
the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average
rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that
classification. As this weighted average rate includes all
rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and
non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates
the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average
calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates Wawa
the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which
these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007
in the example, is an internal number used in producing the
wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion
date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.
Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a
new survey is conducted.
Union Average Rate Identifiers
Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate
that no single majority rate prevailed for those
classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the
classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010
08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union
average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in
the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage
determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date
for the classifications and rates under that identifier.
A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of
each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current
negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is
based.

B. Domestic Water System:
1. Subject piping system to a hydrostatic pressure of at least 100 pounds per-square-inch
gauge, but not less than the operating pressure under which it is to be used. During test
period, all pipe, fittings and accessories in the particular piping system that is being
tested shall be carefully observed. If leaks are detected, such leaks shall be stopped
and the hydrostatic test shall again be applied. This procedure shall be repeated until
no leaks are detected. EXCEPTION: Piping located above sensitive areas and/or
equipment that may be damaged or become contaminated due to test water leakage
shall be tested with oil-free air in lieu of water.
2. After completion of the testing, all new and/or altered water piping systems shall be
thoroughly sterilized with a solution containing not less than 50 parts per million of
available chlorine. Do not exceed 150 parts per million at any time. Introduce chlorine
into the supply stream at a rate sufficient to provide a uniform concentration throughout
the system. All outlets shall be opened and closed several times. When the specified
level of chlorine is detected at every outlet in the system, close all valves to prevent
release of water from the system for 24 hours. At the completion of the 24-hour
disinfection period, test every outlet for a minimum chlorine residual of 50 parts per
million. This minimum residual must be present to proceed with flushing. Flush the
system with clean water at a sufficient velocity until the residual chlorine detected at
every outlet is within 0.2 parts per million or the normal water supply's level.
3. Sufficient samples must be taken no sooner than 24 hours after sterilization and flushing
to represent the extent and complexity of the affected water system, along with a control
sample to indicate municipal water quality at the time of testing. Send water samples to
an accredited and/or certified laboratory to perform qualitative and quantitative
bacteriological analysis in accordance with AWWA C651 or in accordance with Plumbing
Code. CONTRACTOR shall obtain written certification from the independent testing
agency stating that the water samples meet federal and state guidelines for safe drinking
water. Failure to fully comply with the above procedures will result in a requirement to
repeat the procedure until acceptable results are achieved, at no additional cost to CITY.
4. Isolate or bypass equipment that would be detrimentally affected by disinfecting
solution. Isolate all other sections of the domestic water system not being disinfected to
prevent migration of chlorine.
5. Prior to injection of chlorine into the piping system, strategically place signs stating
"Heavily Chlorinated Water-Do Not Drink," and protect all outlets to prevent use during
disinfection and flushing procedures.
6. A bacteria test may not be necessary for small scale work. However, disinfection is
required. Examples of small scale work are less than 20 feet of pipe, replacement and/or
installation of a sink, drinking fountain, eyewash, backflow preventer, isolation valve,
etc. Disinfect individual parts, fixtures, isolation valves, pipes, etc. by swabbing with full
strength bleach (5.25%) or soaking for at least 30 minutes in a 500-ppm chlorine
solution. Materials should then be thoroughly rinsed before putting into service.

2. Open the temporary bypasses that connect the ends of supply and return mains.
3. Flush mains by turning on flushing water source and sequentially opening drains on
mains on each floor until the discharge is clean. This will flush the mains without forcing
water/debris into the branches and run out pipes.
4. Close isolation valves located downstream of coils/wall fin.
5. Open isolation valves located upstream of coils/wall fin.
6. Open individual drain valves upstream of coils/wall fin until the discharge is clean. This
will flush the supply branch and run out lines between the mains and the coils/wall fin
without running water/debris through the TCV or coils/wall fin.
7. Close the individual drain valves upstream of coils/wall fin.
8. Open drain valves at low points in the return piping mains.
9. Open the individual isolation valves located downstream of the coils/wall fin. This will
flush the return branch and run out lines located between the coils/wall fin and the mains
back into the mains and out the drains on the return mains. The water going through the
coil/wall fin should be already be clean since this section was flushed previously.
10. Repeat steps 1 through 3 to clean debris from the mains.
D. Isolate all coils while flushing risers and mains. Flush the mains on each floor individually,
starting at the top of the building and working down towards the basement level. After risers
and mains have been flushed clean, individually open the drain valves in each branch circuit
to discharge any debris that may have accumulated in the branch piping.
E. After flushing operations are complete, drain and/or blow out any residual water, clean and
replace all strainers, and add scale and corrosion inhibitors as specified in
Section 23 25 00—HVAC Water Treatment. Leave flushing connections/valves in place and
cap.
F. All flushing procedures shall be documented by completing and submitting the report form
