3. Compensation.
(a) CONSULTANT’S sole compensation for satisfactory performance of
all services required or rendered pursuant to this Agreement shall be a total fee of Twenty
Seven Thousand, One Hundred and sixteen [$27,116.00]. Such fee includes all
expenses incurred by CONSULTANT in performance of the services.
(b) Detailed statements shall be rendered monthly and will be payable
in the normal course of CITY business.
(c) The parties may modify this Agreement to increase or decrease the
scope of services or provide for the rendition of services not required by this Agreement,
which modification shall include an adjustment to CONSULTANT’S compensation. Any
change in the scope of services must be made by written amendment to the Agreement
signed by an authorized representative for each party. CONSULTANT shall not be
entitled to any additional compensation if services are performed prior to a signed written
amendment.
4. Termination, Remedies, and Force Majeure.
(a) This Agreement shall terminate without any liability of CITY to
CONSULTANT upon the earlier of: (i) CONSULTANT’S filing for protection under the
federal bankruptcy laws, or any bankruptcy petition or petition for receiver commenced
by a third party against CONSULTANT; (ii) 7 calendar days prior written notice with or
without cause by CITY to CONSULTANT; (iii) CITY’S non-appropriation of funds sufficient
to meet its obligations hereunder during any CITY fiscal year of this Agreement, or
insufficient funding for the Project; or (iv) expiration of this Agreement.
(b) Immediately upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement,
CONSULTANT shall (i) immediately stop all work hereunder; (ii) immediately cause any
and all of its subcontractors to cease work; and (iii) return to CITY any and all unearned

satisfactorily perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, CITY may withhold
an amount that would otherwise be payable as an offset to, but not in excess of, CITY’S
damages caused by such failure. In no event shall any payment by CITY pursuant to this
Agreement constitute a waiver by CITY of any breach of this Agreement which may then
exist on the part of CONSULTANT, nor shall such payment impair or prejudice any
remedy available to CITY with respect to the breach.
(d) Upon any breach of this Agreement by CONSULTANT, CITY may
(i) exercise any right, remedy (in contract, law or equity), or privilege which may be
available to it under applicable laws of the State of California or any other applicable law;
(ii) proceed by appropriate court action to enforce the terms of the Agreement; and/or (iii)
recover all direct, indirect, consequential, economic and incidental damages for the
breach of the Agreement. If it is determined that CITY improperly terminated this
Agreement for default, such termination shall be deemed a termination for convenience.

(e) CONSULTANT shall provide CITY with adequate written assurances
of future performance, upon Director’s request, in the event CONSULTANT fails to
comply with any terms or conditions of this Agreement.
(f) CONSULTANT shall be liable for default unless nonperformance is
caused by an occurrence beyond the reasonable control of CONSULTANT and without
its fault or negligence such as, acts of God or the public enemy, acts of CITY in its
contractual capacity, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, unusually
severe weather, and delays of common carriers. CONSULTANT shall notify Director in
writing as soon as it is reasonably possible after the commencement of any excusable
delay, setting forth the full particulars in connection therewith, and shall remedy such
occurrence with all reasonable dispatch, and shall promptly give written notice to Director
of the cessation of such occurrence.
5. Confidential Information, Ownership of Documents and Copyright License.
(a) Any reports, information, or other data prepared or assembled by
CONSULTANT pursuant to this Agreement shall not be made available to any individual
or organization by CONSULTANT without the prior written approval of CITY. During the
term of this Agreement, and thereafter, CONSULTANT shall not, without the prior written
consent of CITY, disclose to anyone any Confidential Information. The term Confidential
Information for the purposes of this Agreement shall include all proprietary and
confidential information of CITY, including but not limited to business plans, marketing
plans, financial information, designs, drawings, specifications, materials, compilations,
documents, instruments, models, source or object codes and other information disclosed
or submitted, orally, in writing, or by any other medium or media. All Confidential
Information shall be and remain confidential and proprietary in CITY.
(b) Any and all original sketches, pencil tracings of working drawings,
plans, computations, specifications, computer disk files, writings and other documents
prepared or provided by CONSULTANT pursuant to this Agreement are the property of
CITY at the time of preparation and shall be turned over to CITY upon expiration or
termination of the Agreement or default by CONSULTANT. CONSULTANT grants CITY
a copyright license to use such drawings and writings. CONSULTANT shall not permit
the reproduction or use thereof by any other person except as otherwise expressly
provided herein. CITY may modify the design including any drawings or writings. Any
use by CITY of the aforesaid sketches, tracings, plans, computations, specifications,
computer disk files, writings and other documents in completed form as to other projects
or extensions of this Project, or in uncompleted form, without specific written verification
by CONSULTANT will be at CITY’S sole risk and without liability or legal exposure to
CONSULTANT. CONSULTANT may keep a copy of all drawings and specifications for
its sole and exclusive use.
(c) If CONSULTANT should subcontract all or any portion of the services
to be performed under this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall cause each subcontractor
to also comply with the requirements of this Section 5.

6. Professional Skill. It is further mutually understood and agreed by and
between the parties hereto that inasmuch as CONSULTANT represents to CITY that
CONSULTANT and its subcontractors, if any, are skilled in the profession and shall
perform in accordance with the standards of said profession necessary to perform the
services agreed to be done by it under this Agreement, CITY relies upon the skill of
CONSULTANT and any subcontractors to do and perform such services in a skillful
manner and CONSULTANT agrees to thus perform the services and require the same of
any subcontractors. Therefore, any acceptance of such services by CITY shall not
operate as a release of CONSULTANT or any subcontractors from said professional
standards.
7. Indemnification. To the furthest extent allowed by law, CONSULTANT shall
indemnify, hold harmless and defend CITY and each of its officers, officials, employees,
agents and volunteers from any and all loss, liability, fines, penalties, forfeitures, costs
and damages (whether in contract, tort or strict liability, including but not limited to
personal injury, death at any time and property damage), and from any and all claims,
demands and actions in law or equity (including reasonable attorney's fees and litigation
expenses) that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness or willful
misconduct of CONSULTANT, its principals, officers, employees, agents or volunteers
in the performance of this Agreement.
If CONSULTANT should subcontract all or any portion of the services to be performed
under this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall require each subcontractor to indemnify, hold
harmless and defend CITY and each of its officers, officials, employees, agents and
volunteers in accordance with the terms of the preceding paragraph.
This section shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.
8. Insurance.
(a) Throughout the life of this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall pay for
and maintain in full force and effect all insurance as required in Exhibit B, which is
incorporated into and part of this Agreement, with an insurance company(ies) either
(i) admitted by the California Insurance Commissioner to do business in the State of
California and rated no less than “A-VII” in the Best’s Insurance Rating Guide, or (ii) as
may be authorized in writing by CITY'S Risk Manager or his/her designee at any time and
in his/her sole discretion. The required policies of insurance as stated in Exhibit B shall
maintain limits of liability of not less than those amounts stated therein. However, the
insurance limits available to CITY, its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers
as additional insureds, shall be the greater of the minimum limits specified therein or the
full limit of any insurance proceeds to the named insured.
(b) If at any time during the life of the Agreement or any extension,
CONSULTANT or any of its subcontractors/sub-consultants fail to maintain any required
insurance in full force and effect, all services and work under this Agreement shall be
discontinued immediately, and all payments due or that become due to CONSULTANT
shall be withheld until notice is received by CITY that the required insurance has been
restored to full force and effect and that the premiums therefore have been paid for a
period satisfactory to CITY. Any failure to maintain the required insurance shall be
sufficient cause for CITY to terminate this Agreement. No action taken by CITY pursuant
DocuSign Envelope ID: 60500A49-9681-4C76-B398-F65FC6C204C4
FYI-S 18.0/04-03-17
-5-
to this section shall in any way relieve CONSULTANT of its responsibilities under this
Agreement. The phrase “fail to maintain any required insurance” shall include, without
limitation, notification received by CITY that an insurer has commenced proceedings, or
has had proceedings commenced against it, indicating that the insurer is insolvent.
(c) The fact that insurance is obtained by CONSULTANT shall not be
deemed to release or diminish the liability of CONSULTANT, including, without limitation,
liability under the indemnity provisions of this Agreement. The duty to indemnify CITY
shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are
applicable. The policy limits do not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification
to be provided by CONSULTANT. Approval or purchase of any insurance contracts or
policies shall in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability of CONSULTANT, its
principals, officers, agents, employees, persons under the supervision of CONSULTANT,
vendors, suppliers, invitees, consultants, sub-consultants, subcontractors, or anyone
employed directly or indirectly by any of them.
(d) If CONSULTANT should subcontract all or any portion of the services
to be performed under this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall require each
subcontractor/sub-consultant to provide insurance protection, as an additional insured, to
the CITY and each of its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers in
accordance with the terms of this section, except that any required certificates and
applicable endorsements shall be on file with CONSULTANT and CITY prior to the
commencement of any services by the subcontractor. CONSULTANT and any
subcontractor/sub-consultant shall establish additional insured status for CITY, its
officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers by using Insurance Service Office
(ISO) Form CG 20 10 11 85 or both CG 20 10 10 01 and CG 20 37 10 01 or by an
executed manuscript company endorsement providing additional insured status as broad
as that contained in ISO Form CG 20 10 11 85.
9. Conflict of Interest and Non-Solicitation.
(a) Prior to CITY’S execution of this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall
complete a City of Fresno conflict of interest disclosure statement in the form as set forth
in Exhibit C. During the term of this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall have the obligation
and duty to immediately notify CITY in writing of any change to the information provided
by CONSULTANT in such statement.
(b) CONSULTANT shall comply, and require its subcontractors to
comply, with all applicable (i) professional canons and requirements governing avoidance
of impermissible client conflicts; and (ii) federal, state, and local conflict of interest laws
and regulations including, without limitation, California Government Code Section 1090
et. seq., the California Political Reform Act (California Government Code Section 87100
et. seq.), the regulations of the Fair Political Practices Commission concerning disclosure
and disqualification (2 California Code of Regulations Section 18700 et. seq.) and Section
4-112 of the Fresno Municipal Code (Ineligibility to Compete). At any time, upon written
request of CITY, CONSULTANT shall provide a written opinion of its legal counsel and
that of any subcontractor that, after a due diligent inquiry, CONSULTANT and the
respective subcontractor(s) are in full compliance with all laws and regulations.
CONSULTANT shall take, and require its subcontractors to take, reasonable steps to
avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest. Upon discovery of any facts giving rise to
DocuSign Envelope ID: 60500A49-9681-4C76-B398-F65FC6C204C4
FYI-S 18.0/04-03-17

the appearance of a conflict of interest, CONSULTANT shall immediately notify CITY of
these facts in writing.
(c) In performing the work or services to be provided hereunder,
CONSULTANT shall not employ or retain the services of any person while such person
either is employed by CITY or is a member of any CITY council, commission, board,
committee, or similar CITY body. This requirement may be waived in writing by the City
Manager, if no actual or potential conflict is involved.
(d) CONSULTANT represents and warrants that it has not paid or
agreed to pay any compensation, contingent or otherwise, direct or indirect, to solicit, or
procure this Agreement or any rights/benefits hereunder.
(e) Neither CONSULTANT, nor any of CONSULTANT’S subcontractors
performing any services on this Project, shall bid for, assist anyone in the preparation of
a bid for, or perform any services pursuant to, any other contract in connection with this
Project. CONSULTANT and any of its subcontractors shall have no interest, direct or
indirect, in any other contract with a third party in connection with this Project unless such
interest is in accordance with all applicable law and fully disclosed to and approved by
the City Manager, in advance and in writing.
(f) If CONSULTANT should subcontract all or any portion of the work to
be performed or services to be provided under this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall
include the provisions of this Section 9 in each subcontract and require its subcontractors
to comply therewith.
(g) This Section 9 shall survive expiration or termination of this
Agreement.

operates a facility(ies), or is required herein to maintain or operate same, within the
incorporated limits of the City of Fresno, CONSULTANT at its sole cost and expense
shall:
(a) Immediately establish and maintain a viable and ongoing recycling
program, approved by CITY’S Solid Waste Management Division, for each office and

life of this Agreement and for a period of three years after final payment or, if longer, for
any period required by law. In addition, all books, documents, papers, and records of
CONSULTANT pertaining to the Project shall be available for the purpose of making
audits, examinations, excerpts, and transcriptions for the same period of time. If any
litigation, claim, negotiations, audit or other action is commenced before the expiration of
said time period, all records shall be retained and made available to CITY until such action
is resolved, or until the end of said time period whichever shall later occur. If

the requirements of this paragraph. This Section 11(b) shall survive expiration or
termination of this Agreement.
(c) Prior to execution of this Agreement by CITY, CONSULTANT shall
have provided evidence to CITY that CONSULTANT is licensed to perform the services

that subcontractor is licensed to perform the services called for by this Agreement (or that
no license is required) before beginning work.
(d) CITY will carry out applicable federal requirements in the
administration of this Agreement. Notwithstanding Section 25 herein, CONSULTANT
agrees to comply with all applicable federal assurances in Exhibit D and require that each
subcontract include the same assurances by each of its subcontractors.
12. Nondiscrimination. To the extent required by controlling federal, state and
local law, CONSULTANT shall not employ discriminatory practices in the provision of
services, employment of personnel, or in any other respect on the basis of race, religious
creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical
condition, marital status, sex, age, sexual orientation, ethnicity, status as a disabled
veteran or veteran of the Vietnam era. Subject to the foregoing and during the
performance of this Agreement, CONSULTANT agrees as follows:
(a) CONSULTANT will comply with all applicable laws and regulations
providing that no person shall, on the grounds of race, religious creed, color, national
origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, marital status,
sex, age, sexual orientation, ethnicity, status as a disabled veteran or veteran of the
Vietnam era be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to
discrimination under any program or activity made possible by or resulting from this
Agreement.
(b) CONSULTANT will not discriminate against any employee or
applicant for employment because of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry,
physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, marital status, sex, age, sexual
orientation, ethnicity, status as a disabled veteran or veteran of the Vietnam era.
CONSULTANT shall ensure that applicants are employed, and the employees are treated
during employment, without regard to their race, religious creed, color, national origin,
DocuSign Envelope ID: 60500A49-9681-4C76-B398-F65FC6C204C4
FYI-S 18.0/04-03-17

ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, marital status, sex, age,
sexual orientation, ethnicity, status as a disabled veteran or veteran of the Vietnam era.
Such requirement shall apply to CONSULTANT’S employment practices including, but
not be limited to, the following: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitment
or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of
compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. CONSULTANT
agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for
employment, notices setting forth the provision of this nondiscrimination clause.
(c) CONSULTANT will, in all solicitations or advertisements for
employees placed by or on behalf of CONSULTANT in pursuit hereof, state that all
qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race,
religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability,
medical condition, marital status, sex, age, sexual orientation, ethnicity, status as a
disabled veteran or veteran of the Vietnam era.
(d) CONSULTANT will send to each labor union or representative of
workers with which it has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or
understanding, a notice advising such labor union or workers' representatives of
CONSULTANT’S commitment under this section and shall post copies of the notice in
conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment.
(e) If CONSULTANT should subcontract all or any portion of the services
to be performed under this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall cause each subcontractor
to also comply with the requirements of this Section 12.
13. Independent Contractor.
(a) In the furnishing of the services provided for herein, CONSULTANT
is acting solely as an independent contractor. Neither CONSULTANT, nor any of its
officers, agents or employees shall be deemed an officer, agent, employee, joint venturer,
partner or associate of CITY for any purpose. CITY shall have no right to control or
supervise or direct the manner or method by which CONSULTANT shall perform its work
and functions. However, CITY shall retain the right to administer this Agreement so as to
verify that CONSULTANT is performing its obligations in accordance with the terms and
conditions thereof.
(b) This Agreement does not evidence a partnership or joint venture
between CONSULTANT and CITY. CONSULTANT shall have no authority to bind CITY
absent CITY’S express written consent. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this
Agreement, CONSULTANT shall bear its own costs and expenses in pursuit thereof.
(c) Because of its status as an independent contractor, CONSULTANT
and its officers, agents and employees shall have absolutely no right to employment rights
and benefits available to CITY employees. CONSULTANT shall be solely liable and
responsible for all payroll and tax withholding and for providing to, or on behalf of, its
employees all employee benefits including, without limitation, health, welfare and
retirement benefits. In addition, together with its other obligations under this Agreement,
CONSULTANT shall be solely responsible, indemnify, defend and save CITY harmless

Security and unemployment insurance withholding, payment of workers’ compensation
benefits, and all other laws and regulations governing matters of employee withholding,
taxes and payment; and (ii) any claim of right or interest in CITY employment benefits,
entitlements, programs and/or funds offered employees of CITY whether arising by
reason of any common law, de facto, leased, or co-employee rights or other theory. It is
acknowledged that during the term of this Agreement, CONSULTANT may be providing

Agreement, CONSULTANT shall at all times comply with all applicable laws of the United
States, the State of California and CITY, and with all applicable regulations promulgated

and as they may be enacted, issued, or amended during the term of this Agreement.
18. Waiver. The waiver by either party of a breach by the other of any provision
of this Agreement shall not constitute a continuing waiver or a waiver of any subsequent
breach of either the same or a different provision of this Agreement. No provisions of this
Agreement may be waived unless in writing and signed by all parties to this Agreement.
Waiver of any one provision herein shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other
provision herein.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Consultant Service Agreement between City of Fresno (“CITY”)
and Moore Twining Associates, Inc (“CONSULTANT”)
Limited Environmental Site Assessment, Geotechnical, and Environmental
Consulting
PROJECT TITLE
Proposal for a Limited Environmental Site Assessment and Geotechnical and Environmental
Consulting ‐ Fresno Yosemite International Airport – Terminal Expansion
Moore Twining Associates, Inc. (Moore Twining) appreciates the opportunity to submit this proposal to
perform a Limited Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for the above referenced property (Site). In
addition, this proposal includes a fee for geotechnical engineering and environmental consulting for the
design phase of the project. This proposal was prepared at your request and presents the purpose and
scope of our proposed services, our fee estimate, and the project schedule. The limitations of our work
and the client's responsibilities are also discussed.
SITE INFORMATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL BACKGROUND
The project site is located at Fresno Yosemite International airport in Fresno, California. The project
includes building additions located on the east side of the southern portion of the existing terminal
building.
During the geotechnical investigation conducted by Moore Twining in May 2020, Petroleum
hydrocarbons and oil and grease were detected in the three samples analyzed (“B‐1@ 5‐6.5”,” B‐7 @ 5‐
6.5”, and” B‐9 Core 2.1‐2.6”). The sample analyzed from B‐1, in particular, detected concentrations that
exceed residential and commercial Environmental Screening Levels (ESLs) established by the Regional
Water Quality Control Board.
PURPOSE OF INVESTIGATION
The purpose of the proposed investigation is to delineate the contamination around B‐1.
It should be noted that, based on the results of this investigation, remediation and/or mitigation may be
required. Soil will be sampled and analyzed for the presence of chemicals of potential concern (COPCs)
including oil and grease, gasoline, diesel, motor oil, PCBs, PAHs, associated volatile organic compounds
(VOCs), and metals.
SCOPE OF WORK
The following scope of work is proposed to further explore the high concentrations of oil and grease
encountered in a soil boring conducted as part of a geotechnical investigation.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 60500A49-9681-4C76-B398-F65FC6C204C4
Page 2 of 5
Limited Environmental Site Assessment Scope of Work
Task 1 – Pre‐ Investigation Activities
The project manager assigned to the project will coordinate with the client, laboratory, and field staff to
schedule and execute the sampling. In accordance with California law, the proposed soil sampling point
locations will be marked with white paint and Underground Service Alert (USA) South will be contacted
at least 72‐hours prior to work.
Task 2 – Field Activities
Soil Sampling
In order to perform a preliminary evaluation on the horizontal and vertical extent of the contamination,
eight (8) soil borings will be drilled to a depth of 15 feet below surface grade (bsg) around the B‐1
location. Four of the borings will be approximately five feet away from location B‐1; the remaining four
borings will be an additional ten feet away from location B‐1.
Moore Twining will retain Moore Twining’s California C57‐licensed drilling department to conduct the
drilling using a hollow stem auger drill rig. Soil sample splits will be field screened for evidence of VOCs
and/or other contaminants. The field screening will consist of visual observation for staining or free
fluids, unusual odor, and headspace analysis using a photoionization detector (PID). Soil descriptions and
the results of the field screening will be recorded on field boring logs consistent with the Unified Soil
Classification System (USCS), visual and manual method.
Samples will be collected at each 5‐foot interval in a 1.5” diameter 6‐inch‐long stainless steel tube. The
tubes will be capped with Teflon sheeting and plastic end caps. The samples will be placed in a cooler
and kept on ice for delivery to Moore Twining’s Certified Laboratory for analysis under chain of custody
documentation. For the purpose of this proposal, all of the soil samples will be analyzed for oil and
grease by EPA HEM Method.
Samples that detect elevated concentrations of oil and grease will be additionally analyzed to further
speciate the type of contamination. These analyses include jet fuel, kerosene, total petroleum
hydrocarbons as motor oil, gasoline (TPHg), and diesel (TPHd) by EPA Method 8015M, PCBs by EPA
Method 8082, and Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) by EPA Method 8270.
Following sampling, the holes will be backfilled with grout and finished with a black‐dyed concrete cap.
Task 3– Laboratory Analysis
Soil samples will be submitted to Moore Twining’s California‐State certified analytical laboratory for the
analyses described above. The samples will be analyzed and quality control/quality assurance will be
completed by the laboratory.
Task 4 – Report Preparation
Once laboratory analytical results are received, compiled, and analyzed, a report will be prepared
summarizing the observations and findings from the investigation. In addition, the report will include
Moore Twining’s conclusions and recommendations. The report will be signed by a registered geologist
or engineer.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 60500A49-9681-4C76-B398-F65FC6C204C4
Page 3 of 5
Task 5 ‐ Disposal of Investigation Derived Waste (IDW)
Soil cuttings from drilling and sampling activities will be containerized in UN‐approved and DOT‐rated
55‐gallon drums, profiled, and, if required, disposed of off‐Site at an appropriate disposal facility by a
licensed hazardous waste hauler. Pending profiling and off‐Site disposal, IDW will be stored in the
loading area adjacent to the building. For the purposes of this proposal, it is assumed that up to four (4)
55‐gallon drums of investigation‐derived waste will be generated during this investigation. Costs under
this task are based on the assumption that the investigation‐derived waste will be profiled and disposed
of as a non‐hazardous material.
As Needed Consulting Services
In addition to the scope of work for the Limited Phase II Investigation, this proposal includes a fee for
geotechnical engineering consulting services (and environmental consulting as needed) during the
design phase of the project. Moore Twining anticipates performing up to two (2) site visits with the
client, contractor and design team; attending up to seven (7) teleconference calls, reviewing project
plans and pertinent specification sections for conformance with the geotechnical engineering
investigation report, responding to Contractor bid related RFIs, and performing general consulting
services on an as needed basis when requested by the client. Based on our experience with other
projects, it is also anticipated that two (2) addendums may be issued to the geotechnical engineering
investigation report. The fees for the consulting services (professional engineers and geologists) will be
invoiced at an hourly rate of $125 per hour.
FEE ESTIMATE
Fee estimates are included below for the Limited Phase II ESA and the Consulting Services noted herein.
Moore Twining provides environmental services on a "time and materials" basis. Assumptions on which
Moore Twining has based this fee estimate are presented in the “LIMITATIONS” section of this
document.

PROJECT SCHEDULE
Field work can begin within about two (2) weeks of receiving authorization; however, it should be noted
that the actual field work schedule will be dependent upon the availability of the drilling division. Moore
Twining will make every effort to expedite drilling and sample collection activities. The proposed scope
of work will require approximately one (1) business day to complete. Laboratory testing is expected to
be completed within ten (10) business days following the day of final sample submittal. The draft report
of findings would be submitted for your review within one (1) week of receiving final laboratory reports.
In summary, it is estimated that it will take approximately four (4) to five (5) weeks to conduct the Phase
II investigation. Moore Twining understands that the schedule for this project is short and work will be
performed in an expedited manner whenever possible.
CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES
In order to conduct this work in a timely manner, we request that the client provide the following:
1) Permission to access the property to conduct the work scope described herein;
2) Existing development plans and/or “as built plans” showing the locations of underground
improvements, i.e., utilities, etc., on the project site; and
3) Reasonable access to the site to conduct the field work.
LIMITATIONS
The purpose of an environmental study is to reasonably characterize existing site conditions based on
the available data. In performing such a study, it is understood that a balance must be struck between a
reasonable inquiry into the Site conditions and an exhaustive analysis of each conceivable
environmental characteristic. No investigation is thorough enough to describe all environmental
conditions of interest at a given site. The estimated costs presented herein were derived from Moore
Twining's experience on previous similar projects. In the event portions of the investigation reveal
conditions which deviate from the assumptions outlined herein, additional work may be required.
Additional work and/or unforeseeable conditions, not summarized in the cost estimate, will be charged
on a "time and materials" basis; your prior approval will be requested should this occur.
Conditions of interest may exist at the Site that cannot be identified by visual observation alone. Where
subsurface exploratory work is performed, our professional opinions are based in part on interpretation
of data from discrete sampling locations that may not represent actual conditions or unsampled
locations. If conditions of interest are not identified during performance of the work, such a finding
should not be construed as a guarantee that such conditions do not exist at the Site. No environmental
site assessment can wholly eliminate uncertainty regarding the potential for recognized
environmental conditions in connection with the property. Performance of this investigation is
intended to reduce, but not eliminate, uncertainty regarding the potential for recognized
environmental conditions with a property.
This proposal assumes the client will provide escorts during the onsite work such that badging of
employees will not be required.
No liability is assumed for damage to unidentified or unmarked underground utilities.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 60500A49-9681-4C76-B398-F65FC6C204C4
Page 5 of 5
Our professional services would be performed, our findings obtained, and our conclusions prepared
consistent with generally‐accepted environmental assessment practices at the time the work is
performed. Our findings and the resulting report would be solely for the use of our client and
appropriate government regulatory agencies. Any use of our report by a third party would be at that
third party's sole risk.
The results of this investigation may necessitate additional investigation and remedial action. In
addition, the owner, operator or person in responsible charge of the Site may have a statutory or
regulatory reporting requirement. Finally, our firm may have an obligation to report our findings, if the
owner, operator or person in responsible charge fails to report, and our firm recognizes that public
health, safety or welfare may be threatened by a hazardous condition identified on the Site.
Estimated fees for the disposal of investigation‐derived waste are based on the assumption that the soil
cuttings and purge water will be classified as non‐hazardous. Should laboratory analytical testing
indicate that the soil is a hazardous waste, this proposal will need to be revised.
CLOSING
It is anticipated that the scope of work outlined herein would be conducted in accordance with the
terms of the current agreement(s) between the City and Moore Twining for the projects.
Again, thank you for this opportunity to present this proposal and to express our sincere interest
in working with you on this project. If you have questions, please contact our office. Our
environmental services staff can answer your inquiries regarding this proposal at (800) 268-
7021.

I. RIGHTS TO INVENTIONS
All rights to inventions and materials generated under this contract are subject to
regulations issued by the FAA and the Sponsor of the Federal grant under which this
contract is executed.
J. TRADE RESTRICTION CLAUSE
The contractor or subcontractor, by submission of an offer and/or execution of a contract,
certifies that it:
a. is not owned or controlled by one or more citizens of a foreign country
included in the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms as
published by the Office of the United States Trade Representative
(U.S.T.R.);
b. has not knowingly entered into any contract or subcontract for this project
with a person that is a citizen or national of a foreign country included on
the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms as published by the
U.S.T.R; and
c. has not entered into any subcontract for any product to be used on the
Federal on the project that is produced in a foreign country included on the
list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms published by the
U.S.T.R.
This certification concerns a matter within the jurisdiction of an agency of the United
States of America and the making of a false, fictitious, or fraudulent certification may
render the maker subject to prosecution under Title 18, United States Code, Section
1001.
The contractor must provide immediate written notice to the Sponsor if the contractor
learns that its certification or that of a subcontractor was erroneous when submitted or
has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. The contractor must
require subcontractors provide immediate written notice to the Contractor if at any time
it learns that its certification was erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

FYI Fed Assurances Prof Services Contracts (07-01-16)
Page 7 of 29
Unless the restrictions of this clause are waived by the Secretary of Transportation in
accordance with 49 CFR 30.17, no contract shall be awarded to an Sponsor or
subcontractor:
(1) who is owned or controlled by one or more citizens or nationals of a foreign
country included on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms
published by the U.S.T.R. or
(2) whose subcontractors are owned or controlled by one or more citizens or
nationals of a foreign country on such U.S.T.R. list or
(3) who incorporates in the public works project any product of a foreign country
on such U.S.T.R. list;
Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a
system of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by this
provision. The knowledge and information of a contractor is not required to exceed that
which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business
dealings.
The Sponsor agrees that, if awarded a contract resulting from this solicitation, it will
incorporate this provision for certification without modification in in all lower tier
subcontracts. The contractor may rely on the certification of a prospective subcontractor
that it is not a firm from a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate
against U.S. firms as published by U.S.T.R, unless the Sponsor has knowledge that the
certification is erroneous.
This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed
when making an award. If it is later determined that the contractor or subcontractor
knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, the Federal Aviation Administration may
direct through the Sponsor cancellation of the contract or subcontract for default at no
cost to the Sponsor or the FAA.
K. VETERAN’S PREFERENCE
In the employment of labor (excluding executive, administrative, and supervisory
positions), the contractor and all sub-tier contractors must give preference to covered
veterans as defined within Title 49 United States Code Section 47112. Covered
veterans include Vietnam-era veterans, Persian Gulf veterans, Afghanistan-Iraq war
veterans, disabled veterans, and small business concerns (as defined by 15 U.S.C. 632)
owned and controlled by disabled veterans. This preference only applies when there
are covered veterans readily available and qualified to perform the work to which the
employment relates.
L. SEISMIC SAFETY (applicable to agreements involving design)
In the performance of design services, the Contractor agrees to furnish a building design
and associated construction specification that conform to a building code standard which

provides a level of seismic safety substantially equivalent to standards as established
by the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP). Local building
codes that model their building code after the current version of the International Building
Code (IBC) meet the NEHRP equivalency level for seismic safety. At the conclusion of
the design services, the Contractor agrees to furnish the Sponsor a “certification of
compliance” that attests conformance of the building design and the construction
specifications with the seismic standards of NEHRP or an equivalent building code.
II. PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS

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
the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR Part 3)), the full amount of
wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalent 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 (1)(iv) of this section; also, regular contributions made or costs incurred for
more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or
programs which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively
made or incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid

the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination for the
classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in
29 CFR Part 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one
classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the
time actually worked therein: Provided, that the employer's payroll records accurately
set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed. The wage
determination (including any additional classification and wage rates conformed under
(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 easily be 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 by 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, D.C. 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
subparagraphs (1)(ii) (B) or (C) of this paragraph, 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 Labor may require the contractor to set aside in a separate account assets
for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program.
2. Withholding.
The Federal Aviation Administration or the sponsor 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 work, all or part of the
wages required by the contract, the Federal Aviation Administration 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 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours
DocuSign Envelope ID: 60500A49-9681-4C76-B398-F65FC6C204C4

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 costs 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 Federal Aviation Administration 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
Federal Aviation Administration. 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 Federal Aviation Administration 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 Federal Aviation
Administration, the contractor, or the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of
Labor for purposes of an investigation or audit of compliance with prevailing wage
requirements. It is not a violation of this section for a prime contractor to require a
subcontractor to provide addresses and social security numbers to the prime contractor
for its own records, without weekly submission to the sponsoring government agency
(or the applicant, sponsor, or owner).
(B) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a "Statement of Compliance,"
signed by the contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the
payment of the persons employed under the contract and shall certify the following:
DocuSign Envelope ID: 60500A49-9681-4C76-B398-F65FC6C204C4

Page 12 of 29
(1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be provided
under 29 CFR § 5.5(a)(3)(ii), the appropriate information is being maintained under 29
CFR § 5.5 (a)(3)(i) and that such information is correct and complete;
(2) That each laborer and mechanic (including each helper, apprentice and trainee)
employed on the contract during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages
earned, without rebate, either directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been
made either directly or indirectly from the full wages earned, other than permissible
deductions as set forth in Regulations 29 CFR Part 3;
(3) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates
and fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the classification of work performed, as
specified in the applicable wage determination incorporated into the contract.
(C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse
side of Optional Form WH-347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the
"Statement of Compliance" required by paragraph (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
(3)(i) of this section available for inspection, copying or transcription by authorized
representatives of the sponsor, the Federal Aviation Administration or the Department
of Labor, and shall permit such representatives to interview employees during working
hours on the job. If the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records
or to make them available, the Federal agency may, after written notice to the contractor,
sponsor, applicant or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the
suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure
to submit the required records upon request or to make such records available may be
grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12.
4. Apprentices and Trainees.
(i) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate
for the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually
registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department
of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Bureau of Apprenticeship and
Training, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau, 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 Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training or a State
DocuSign Envelope ID: 60500A49-9681-4C76-B398-F65FC6C204C4

Page 13 of 29
Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment
as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any
craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the
entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an
apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above,
shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the
classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on
the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid
not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually
performed. Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other
than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in
percentages of the journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the contractor's or
subcontractor's registered program shall be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at
not less than the rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice's level of
progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the
applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance
with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does
not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits
listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator
determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification,
fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the event the Bureau of
Apprenticeship and Training, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the
Bureau, 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 that is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the
Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage
rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In
addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted
under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the
wage determination for the work actually performed. 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.

IV.PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS
$10,000 AND GREATER
A. AFFIRMATIVE ACTION REQUIREMENT (applicable to contracts and
subcontracts exceeding $10,000 and including AIP-funded construction work.
“Construction work” means construction, rehabilitation, alteration, conversion, extension,
demolition or repair of buildings, highways, or other changes or improvements to real
property, including facilities providing utility services. The term also includes the
supervision, inspection, and other onsite functions incidental to the actual construction.)
1. The Offeror's or Bidder’s attention is called to the "Equal Opportunity Clause" and the
"Standard Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Construction Contract 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:
Timetables
DocuSign Envelope ID: 60500A49-9681-4C76-B398-F65FC6C204C4
FYI Fed Assurances Prof Services Contracts (07-01-16)
Page 16 of 29
Goals for minority participation for each trade: 26.1%
Goals for female participation in each trade: 6.9%
These goals are applicable to all of 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 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 (OFCCP) within 10 working days of award of any
construction subcontract in excess of $10,000 at any tier for construction work under the
contract resulting from this solicitation. The notification shall list the name, address, and
telephone number of the subcontractor; employer identification number of the
subcontractor; estimated dollar amount of the subcontract; estimated starting and
completion dates of the subcontract; and the geographical area in which the subcontract
is to be performed.
4. As used in this notice and in the contract resulting from this solicitation, the "covered
area" is the State of California, County of Fresno, City of Fresno.
B. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY (E.E.O) (applicable to construction
contracts, as defined in the Affirmative Action provision, over $10,000)
1. EQUAL OPPORTUNITY CLAUSE
During the performance of this contract, the contractor agrees as follows:
(1) The contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for
employment because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The contractor will
take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are
treated during employment without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual

orientation, gender identify or national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited
to the following: employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or
recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of
compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The contractor
agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for
employment, notices to be provided setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination
clause.
(2) The contractor will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or
on behalf of the contractor, state that all qualified applicants will receive considerations
for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
(3) The contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which
he has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to
be provided advising the said labor union or workers' representatives of the contractor's
commitments under this section, and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous
places available to employees and applicants for employment.
(4) The contractor will comply with all provisions of Executive Order 11246 of September
24, 1965, and of the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor.
(5) The contractor will furnish all information and reports required by Executive Order
11246 of September 24, 1965, and by rules, regulations, and orders of the Secretary of
Labor, or pursuant thereto, and will permit access to his books, records, and accounts
by the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor for purposes of investigation to
ascertain compliance with such rules, regulations, and orders.
(6) In the event of the contractor's noncompliance with the nondiscrimination clauses of
this contract or with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this contract may be
canceled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the contractor may be
declared ineligible for further Government contracts or federally assisted construction
contracts in accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of
September 24, 1965, and such other sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked
as provided in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, or by rule, regulation, or
order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise provided by law.
(7) The contractor will include the portion of the sentence immediately preceding
paragraph (1) and the provisions of paragraphs (1) through (7) in every subcontract or
purchase order unless exempted by rules, regulations, or orders of the Secretary of
Labor issued pursuant to section 204 of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965,
so that such provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor or vendor. The
contractor will take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as the
administering agency may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions, including
sanctions for noncompliance: Provided, however, That in the event a contractor

becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as
a result of such direction by the administering agency the contractor may request the

2. STANDARD FEDERAL EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY
CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT SPECIFICATIONS
1. As used in these specifications:
a. "Covered area" means the geographical area described in the solicitation from
which this contract resulted;
b. "Director" means Director, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs
(OFCCP), U.S. Department of Labor, or any person to whom the Director
delegates authority;
c. "Employer identification number" means the Federal social security number used
on the Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return, U.S. Treasury Department Form
941;
d. "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 Alaskan 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).
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 the Notice which contains
the applicable goals for minority and female participation 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 U.S. Department of Labor in the covered area either individually or
through an association, its affirmative action obligations on all work in the Plan area
(including goals and timetables) shall be in accordance with that Plan for those trades

FYI Fed Assurances Prof Services Contracts (07-01-16)
Page 19 of 29
Each contractor or subcontractor participating in an approved plan is individually
required to comply with its obligations under the EEO clause and to make a good faith
effort to achieve each goal under the Plan in each trade in which it has employees. The
overall good faith performance by other contractors or subcontractors toward a goal in
an approved Plan does not excuse any covered contractor's or subcontractor's failure
to take good faith efforts to achieve the Plan goals and timetables.
4. The contractor shall implement the specific affirmative action standards provided in
paragraphs 7a through 7p of these specifications. The goals set forth in the solicitation
from which this contract resulted are expressed as percentages of the total hours of
employment and training of minority and female utilization the contractor should
reasonably be able to achieve in each construction trade in which it has employees in
the covered area. Covered construction contractors performing construction work in a
geographical area where they do not have a Federal or federally assisted construction
contract shall apply the minority and female goals established for the geographical area
where the work is being performed. Goals are published periodically in the Federal
Register in notice form, and such notices may be obtained from any Office of Federal
Contract Compliance Programs office or from Federal procurement contracting officers.
The contractor is expected to make substantially uniform progress in meeting its goals
in each craft during the period specified.
5. Neither the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement nor the failure by a
union with whom the contractor has a collective bargaining agreement to refer either
minorities or women shall excuse the contractor's obligations under these specifications,
Executive Order 11246 or the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto.
6. In order for the non-working training hours of apprentices and trainees to be counted
in meeting the goals, such apprentices and trainees shall be employed by the contractor
during the training period and the contractor shall have made a commitment to employ
the apprentices and trainees at the completion of their training, subject to the availability
of employment opportunities. Trainees shall be trained pursuant to training programs
approved by the U.S. Department of Labor.
7. 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, where possible, will assign two or more women
to each construction project. The contractor shall specifically ensure that all foremen,
superintendents, and other onsite supervisory personnel are aware of and carry out

the contractor's obligation 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
therefore along with whatever additional actions the contractor may have taken.
d. Provide immediate written notification to the Director when the union or unions
with which the contractor has a collective bargaining agreement has not referred to
the contractor a minority person or female 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 7b 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 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 onsite supervisory personnel such a
superintendents, general foremen, etc., prior to the initiation of construction work at
any job site. A written record shall be made and maintained identifying the time and
DocuSign Envelope ID: 60500A49-9681-4C76-B398-F65FC6C204C4
FYI Fed Assurances Prof Services Contracts (07-01-16)
Page 21 of 29
place of these meetings, persons attending, subject matter discussed, and
disposition 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 at least 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 non-segregated except that
separate or single user toilet and necessary changing facilities shall be provided to
assure privacy between the sexes.
o. Document and maintain a record of all solicitations of offers for subcontracts from
minority and female construction contractors and suppliers, including circulation of
solicitations to minority and female contractor associations and other business
associations.
p. Conduct a review, at least annually, of all supervisor's adherence to and
performance under the contractor's EEO policies and affirmative action obligations.

8. Contractors are encouraged to participate in voluntary associations, which assist in
fulfilling one or more of their affirmative action obligations (7a through 7p). The efforts
of a contractor association, joint contractor union, contractor community, or other similar
groups of which the contractor is a member and participant, may be asserted as fulfilling
any one or more of its obligations under 7a through 7p 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, if the 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 timetables or affirmative action standards
to discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, or national
origin.
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 implement
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.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 60500A49-9681-4C76-B398-F65FC6C204C4

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 number, 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).
C. PROHIBITION OF SEGREGATED FACILITIES (applicable to contracts and
subcontracts exceeding $10,000 and including AIP-funded construction work.
“Construction work” means construction, rehabilitation, alteration, conversion, extension,
demolition or repair of buildings, highways, or other changes or improvements to real
property, including facilities providing utility services. The term also includes the
supervision, inspection, and other onsite functions incidental to the actual construction.)
(a) The Contractor agrees that it does not and will not maintain or provide for its
employees any segregated facilities at any of its establishments, and that it does
not and will not permit its employees to perform their services at any location
under its control where segregated facilities are maintained. The Contractor
agrees that a breach of this clause is a violation of the Equal Opportunity clause
in this contract.
(b) “Segregated facilities,” as used in this clause, means any waiting rooms, work
areas, rest rooms and wash rooms, restaurants and other eating areas, time
clocks, locker rooms and other storage or dressing areas, parking lots, drinking
fountains, recreation or entertainment areas, transportation, and housing facilities
provided for employees, that are segregated by explicit directive or are in fact
segregated on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin because of
written or oral policies or employee custom. The term does not include separate
or single-user rest rooms or necessary dressing or sleeping areas provided to
assure privacy between the sexes.
(c) The Contractor shall include this clause in every subcontract and purchase
order that is subject to the Equal Opportunity clause of this contract.

includes procurement of a product that exceeds $10,000)
Contractor and subcontractor agree to comply with Section 6002 of the Solid Waste
Disposal Act, as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and the
regulatory provisions of 40 CFR Part 247. In the performance of this contract and to the
extent practicable, the Contractor and subcontractors are to use of products containing
the highest percentage of recovered materials for items designated by the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under 40 CFR Part 247 whenever:
a) The contract requires procurement of $10,000 or more of a designated item during
the fiscal year; or,
b) The contractor has procured $10,000 or more of a designated item using Federal
funding during the previous fiscal year.
The list of EPA-designated items is available at
www.epa.gov/epawaste/conserve/tools/cpg/products/. Section 6002(c) establishes
exceptions to the preference for recovery of EPA-designated products if the contractor
can demonstrate the item is:
a) Not reasonably available within a timeframe providing for compliance with the
contract performance schedule;
b) Fails to meet reasonable contract performance requirements; or
c) Is only available at an unreasonable price.

By submitting a bid/proposal under this solicitation, the bidder or offeror certifies that at
the time the bidder or offeror submits its proposal that neither it nor its principals are
presently debarred or suspended by any Federal department or agency from
participation in this transaction.
2. CERTIFICATION REGARDING DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION
(SUCCESSFUL BIDDER REGARDING LOWER TIER PARTICIPANTS)
The successful bidder, by administering each lower tier subcontract that exceeds $25,000
as a “covered transaction”, must verify each lower tier participant of a “covered
transaction” under the project is not presently debarred or otherwise disqualified from
participation in this federally assisted project. The successful bidder will accomplish this
by:
1. Checking the System for Award Management at website: http://www.sam.gov
2. Collecting a certification statement similar to the Certificate Regarding Debarment
and Suspension (Bidder or Offeror), above.
3. Inserting a clause or condition in the covered transaction with the lower tier
contract
If the FAA later determines that a lower tier participant failed to tell a higher tier that it was
excluded or disqualified at the time it entered the covered transaction, the FAA may
pursue any available remedy, including suspension and debarment of the non-compliant
participant.
