performance of this Contract. The Contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR.

Part 26 in the award and administration of this DOT-assisted contract. Failure by the Contractor to

carry out these requirements is a material breach of this Contract, which may result in the

termination of this Contract or such other remedy as KCATA deems appropriate. Each subcontract

the Contractor signs with a subcontractor must include the assurance in this paragraph (see 49

C.F.R. 26.13(b)).

C. The Contractor may not substitute, remove or terminate a DBE subcontractor without KCATA’s prior

written consent. Written consent of termination may only be given if the Contractor has

demonstrated good cause. Before submitting its request to terminate or substitute a DBE

subcontractor, the Prime Contractor must give notice in writing to the DBE subcontractor, with a

copy to KCATA, of its intent to request to terminate and/or substitute, and the reason for the request.

The Contractor must give the DBE five days to respond to the Contractor’s notice and advise KCATA

and the Contractor of the reasons, if any, why it objects to the proposed termination of its

subcontract and why KCATA should not approve the Contractor’s action. If required in a particular

case as a matter of public necessity (e.g., safety), the response period may be shortened.

D. Good Cause. Good cause includes the following circumstances:

1. The listed DBE subcontractor fails or refuses to execute a written contract; or

2. The listed DBE subcontractor fails or refuses to perform the work of its normal industry

standards. Provided, however, that the good cause does not exist if the failure or refusal of the

DBE subcontractor to perform its work on the subcontract results from the bad faith or

discriminatory action of the Prime Contractor; or

3. The listed DBE subcontractor fails or refuses to meet the Prime Contractor’s reasonable,

nondiscriminatory bond requirements; or

4. The listed DBE subcontractor becomes bankrupt, insolvent, or exhibits credit unworthiness; or

5. The listed DBE subcontractor is ineligible to work on public works projects because of

suspension and debarment proceedings pursuant to 2 CFR Parts 180, 215 and 1200 or

applicable state law; or

6. The DBE subcontractor is not a responsible contractor; or

7. The listed DBE subcontractor voluntarily withdraws from the project and provides the Prime

Contractor written notice of its withdrawal;

8. The listed DBE is ineligible to receive DBE credit for the type of work required;

9. A DBE owner dies or becomes disabled with the result that the listed DBE contractor is unable

to complete its work on the contract;

10. Other documented good cause that compels KCATA to terminate the DBE subcontractor.

Provided the good cause does not exist if the Prime contractor seeks to terminate a DBE it

relied upon to obtain the contract so that the Prime Contractor can self-perform the work for

which the DBE contractor was engaged or so that the Prime Contractor can substitute another

DBE or non-DBE contractor.

E. Before submitting its request to terminate or substitute a DBE subcontractor, the Prime Contractor must

give notice in writing to the DBE subcontractor, with a copy to KCATA, of its intent to request to

terminate and/or substitute, and the reason for the request. The Prime Contractor must give the DBE

five days to respond to the Prime Contractor’s notice and advise the KCATA and the Contractor of the

reasons, if any, why it objects to the proposed termination of its subcontract and why KCATA should

not approve the Prime Contractor’s action. If required in a particular case as a matter of public


Date Updated 4/30/12 (5/23/2012)

necessity (e.g., safety), the response period may be shortened.

(10) days from the date of receipt of such copy the Contractor mails or otherwise furnishes a written

appeal addressed to the General Manager, with a copy to the Deputy General Manager and the

Director of Procurement. The determination of such appeal by the General Manager shall be final and

conclusive unless determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been fraudulent or

capricious, arbitrary, or not supported by substantial evidence. In connection with any appeal

proceeding under this clause the Contractor shall be afforded an opportunity to be heard and to offer

evidence in support of its appeal. Pending final decision of a dispute hereunder, and unless otherwise

directed in writing by KCATA, the Contractor shall proceed diligently with performance in accordance

with the Director of Procurement’s decision.

B. The duties and obligations imposed by the Contract and the rights and remedies available hereunder

shall be in addition to and not a limitation of any duties, obligations, rights and remedies otherwise

imposed or available by law. No action or failure to act by the KCATA or Contractor shall constitute a

waiver of any right or duty afforded any of them under the Contract, nor shall any such action or failure

to act constitute an approval of or acquiescence in any breach thereunder, except as may be

specifically agreed in writing.

of this Contract shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of this Contract. Such

time by written notice to the Contractor when it is in KCATA’s best interest. The Contractor will only be

paid the Contract price for supplies delivered and accepted, or services performed in accordance with

the manner of performance set forth in the Contract.

B. Funding Contingency. If this Contract is subject to financial assistance provided by the U.S.

Department of Transportation, the Contractor agrees that withdrawal or termination of such financial

assistance by the U.S. DOT may require KCATA to terminate the agreement.

C. Termination for Default.

1. If the Contractor does not deliver supplies in accordance with the contract delivery schedule,

or if the Contract is for services, and the Contractor fails to perform in the manner called for in

the Contract, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any other provisions of the Contract,

KCATA may terminate this Contract for default. Termination shall be effected by serving a

notice of termination on the Contractor setting forth the manner in which the Contractor is in

default. The Contractor will only be paid the contract price for supplies delivered and

accepted, or services performed in accordance with the manner of performance set forth in the

Contract.

2. If the termination is for failure of the Contractor to fulfill the contract obligations, KCATA may

complete the work by contract or otherwise and the Contractor shall be liable for any

additional cost incurred by KCATA. If, after termination for failure to fulfill contract obligations,

it is determined that the Contractor was not in default, KCATA, after setting up a new delivery

or performance schedule, may allow the Contractor to continue work, or treat the termination

as a termination for convenience.

D. Opportunity to Cure. KCATA in its sole discretion may, in the case of a termination for breach or

default, allow the Contractor an appropriately short period of time in which to cure the defect. In such

case, the written notice of termination will state the time period in which cure is permitted and other

appropriate conditions. If Contractor fails to remedy to KCATA’s satisfaction the breach or default of

any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of this Contract within the time period permitted, KCATA

shall have the right to terminate the Contract without any further obligation to Contractor. Any such

termination for default shall not in any way operate to preclude KCATA from also pursuing all available

remedies against Contractor and its sureties for said breach or default.


Date Updated 4/30/12 (5/23/2012)

E. Waiver of Remedies for any Breach. In the event that KCATA elects to waive its remedies for any

breach by Contractor of any covenant, term or condition of this Agreement, such waiver by KCATA

shall not limit KCATA’s remedies for any succeeding breach of that or of any other term, covenant, or

condition of this Agreement.

F. Property of KCATA. Upon termination of the Contract for any reason, and if the Contractor has any

property in its possession belonging to KCATA, the Contractor shall protect and preserve the property,

account for the same, and dispose of it in the manner KCATA directs. Upon termination of the Contract

for any reason, the Contractor shall (1) immediately discontinue all services affected (unless the notice

directs otherwise), and (2) deliver to KCATA’s Project Manager all data, drawings, specifications,

reports, estimates, summaries, and other information and materials accumulated in performing this

and other personnel that adopt and promote safety policies to decrease crashes by distracted drivers,

including policies to ban text messaging while driving, and to encourage each subcontractor to do the

53. UNAVOIDABLE DELAYS

A. A delay is unavoidable only if the delay was not reasonably expected to occur in connection with or

during the Contractor’s performance, and was not caused directly or substantially by acts, omissions,

negligence, or mistakes of the Contractor, the Contractor’s suppliers, or their agents, and was

substantial and in fact caused the Contractor to miss delivery or performance dates, and could not

adequately have been guarded against by contractual or legal means.

B. Notification of Delays. The Contractor shall notify the Director of Procurement as soon as the

Contractor has, or should have, knowledge that an event has occurred which will cause an unavoidable

delay. Within five (5) days, the Contractor shall confirm such notice in writing furnishing as much as

extension. The Director of Procurement shall notify the Contractor of its decision in writing.

This project is subject to the requirements of Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 26, Participation by

the termination of the contract or such other remedy as KCATA deems appropriate.

1. Non-discrimination. This contractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color national origin, or

sex in the performance of this Contract. The Contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR

Part 26 in the award and administration of this DOT-assisted contract. Failure by the Contractor to carry out

these requirements is a material breach of the Contract, which may result in the termination of the Contract

or such other remedy as KCATA deems appropriate. Each subcontract the Contractor signs with a

subcontractor must include the assurance in this paragraph. See 49 CFR 26.13(b).

2. DBE Certification. KCATA will only recognize firms that are certified as DBE’s under the DOT guidelines

found in 49 CFR Part 26. DBE subcontractors must be certified as a DBE by a member of the Missouri

B. The total contract dollar amount that a Prime Contractor has paid or is obligated to pay to a

subcontractor that is a qualified DBE; and

C. Subcontractor participation with a lower tier DBE subcontractor; and

D. Sixty percent (60%) of the total dollar amount paid or to be paid by a Prime Contractor to obtain

supplies or goods from a supplier who is not a manufacturer and who is a qualified DBE. If the DBE is a

manufacturer of the supplies, then one hundred percent (100%) may be credited, to be determined on

a case-by-case basis.

E. NO CREDIT, however, will be given for the following:

1. Participation in a contract by a DBE that does not perform a commercially useful function as defined

by the Program; and

2. Any portion of the value of the contract that a DBE Subcontractor subcontracts back to the prime

contractor or any other contractor who is not a qualified DBE; and

a. Materials and supplies used on the contract unless the DBE is responsible for negotiating the

price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the materials and installing (where

applicable) and paying for material itself; and

A. Letter of Intent to Subcontract. To be completed for each DBE firm on the project and signed by both

the Prime and the DBE.


Date Updated 4/30/12 (5/23/2012)

B. Contractor Utilization Plan/Request for Waiver. This is a commitment that the Prime understands the

DBE participation required on the project. In the event the Prime is not making a commitment to meet

or exceed the established goal on the project, they must request a waiver and provide documentation

that good faith efforts were expended to try to meet the goal. Good faith efforts are efforts that, given

all relevant circumstances, a Proposer actively and aggressively seeking to meet the goals can

reasonably be expected to make.

Failure to meet the contracted DBE participation commitment without documented evidence of good

faith efforts may result in termination of the contract.

In evaluating good faith efforts, KCATA will consider whether the Proposer has performed the

following, along with any other relevant factors:

1. Advertised opportunities to participate in the contract in general circulation media, trade and

professional association publications, small and minority business media, and publications of minority

and women’s business organizations in sufficient time to allow DBE firms to participate effectively.

2. Provided notice to a reasonable number of minority and women’s business organizations of specific

opportunities to participate in the contract in sufficient time to allow DBE firms to participate

effectively.

3. Sent written notices, by certified mail or facsimile, to qualified DBEs soliciting their participation in the

contract in sufficient time to allow them to participate effectively.

4. Attempted to identify portions of the work for qualified DBE participation in order to increase the

likelihood of meeting the goals, including breaking down contracts into economically feasible units. A

Bidder should send letters by certified mail or facsimile to those DBE contractors identified by the

MRCC listed in those categories, which are in those subcontractors’ scope of work. The portion of

work for which a proposal from a DBE is being solicited shall be as specific as possible. Letters which

are general are not acceptable.

5. Requested assistance in achieving the goals from KCATA’s DBE Officer and acted on KCATA’s

recommendations.

6. Conferred with qualified DBEs and explained the scope and requirements of the work for which their

bids or proposals were solicited.

7. Attempted to negotiate in good faith with qualified DBEs to perform specific subcontracts; not rejecting

them as unqualified without sound reasons based on a thorough investigation of their capabilities.

Documentation of good faith negotiations with DBEs from whom proposals were received in an effort to

reach a mutually acceptable price should include:

a. Names, addresses and telephone numbers of DBEs that were contacted and date of

contact;

b. The information provided to DBEs regarding the plans and specifications for portions of

the work to be performed by them;

c. The reasons no agreement was reached with any DBE, including the basis for any Bid

rejection (i.e., availability, price, qualifications or other);

d. Descriptions of attempts to provide technical assistance to DBEs to obtain necessary

insurance and/or to obtain necessary supplies at the best prices available.

5. Documents Due After Award:

A. KCATA reserves the right to review the Contractor’s written agreement with its subcontractors to

confirm that required federal contract clauses are included. KCATA may perform random audits and

contact minority subcontractors to confirm the reported participation.


Date Updated 4/30/12 (5/23/2012)

B. Subcontractor Monthly Utilization Report. Contractors will be required to submit this report with each

pay application to KCATA. This report will include payments to ALL subcontractors – DBE and non-

DBE. KCATA may require lien waivers from all subcontractors before reimbursement is made to the

Contractor. KCATA may perform random audits and contact minority subcontractors to confirm the

reported participation. Failure to meet the contracted goal without documented evidence of good faith

effort may result in the termination of the contract.

C. Request for Modification, Replacement or Termination of Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE)

Project Participation. Contractor is responsible for meeting or exceeding the DBE commitment

amounts listed on the Schedule of Participation by Contractor and Subcontractors form submitted as part

of Contractor’s Bid Documents and as amended by any previously approved Request for

Modification/Substitution. Any Change Orders or amendment modifying the amount Contractor is to

be compensated will impact the amount of compensation due to DBEs for purposes of meeting or

exceeding the Bidder/Proposer commitment. Contractor shall consider the effect of a Change Order

or amendment and submit a Request for Modification/Substitution if the DBE commitment changes.

1. Termination Only for Cause. Once the contract has been awarded, Contractor may not terminate

a DBE subcontractor without KCATA’s prior written consent. This includes, but is not limited to,

instances in which a Contractor seeks to perform work originally designated for a DBE

subcontractor with its own forces or those of an affiliate, a non-DBE firm, or with another DBE firm.

2. Good Cause. Good cause includes the following circumstances:

a. The listed DBE subcontractor fails or refuses to execute a written contract; or

b. The listed DBE subcontractor fails or refuses to perform the work of its normal industry

standards. Provided, however, that the good cause does not exist if the failure or refusal of the

DBE subcontractor to perform its work on the subcontract results from the bad faith or

discriminatory action of the Prime Contractor; or

c. The listed DBE subcontractor fails or refuses to meet the Prime Contractor’s reasonable,

nondiscriminatory bond requirements; or

d. The listed DBE subcontractor becomes bankrupt, insolvent, or exhibits credit unworthiness; or

e. The listed DBE subcontractor is ineligible to work on public works projects because of

suspension and debarment proceedings pursuant to 2 CFR Parts 180, 215 and 1200 or

applicable state law; or

f. The DBE subcontractor is not a responsible contractor; or

g. The listed DBE subcontractor voluntarily withdraws from the project and provides the Prime

Contractor written notice of its withdrawal;

h. The listed DBE is ineligible to receive DBE credit for the type of work required;

i. A DBE owner dies or becomes disabled with the result that the listed DBE contractor is unable

to complete its work on the contract;

j. Other documented good cause that compels KCATA to terminate the DBE subcontractor.

Provided the good cause does not exist if the Prime contractor seeks to terminate a DBE it

relied upon to obtain the contract so that the Prime Contractor can self-perform the work for

which the DBE contractor was engaged or so that the Prime Contractor can substitute another

DBE or non-DBE contractor.

3. Before submitting its request to terminate or substitute a DBE subcontractor, the Prime Contractor

must give notice in writing to the DBE subcontractor, with a copy to KCATA, of its intent to request

to terminate and/or substitute, and the reason for the request.


Date Updated 4/30/12 (5/23/2012)

4. The Prime Contractor must give the DBE five days to respond to the Prime Contractor’s notice and

advise the KCATA and the Contractor of the reasons, if any, why it objects to the proposed

termination of its subcontract and why KCATA should not approve the Prime Contractor’s action.

If required in a particular case as a matter of public necessity (e.g., safety), the response period

may be shortened.

D. DBE Job-Site Review Commercially Useful Function (CUF) Determination. KCATA will be conducting

on-site interviews with all DBE contractors. The number of interviews will be based on the DBE’s

projected scope of work. KCATA staff will work closely with the Prime Contractor on the project

schedule to determine when DBE subcontractors will be on the project.

For questions concerning KCATA’s DBE Program or Vendor Registration/Affirmative Action Requirements please

contact us.

the identification of problem areas and corrective actions;

Designation of specific personnel and their responsibilities for implementing and maintaining adherence to

the equal employment opportunity program; dissemination of the equal employment opportunity policy as

well as appropriate elements of the equal employment opportunity program to all personnel, applicants and

to the general public; and

particularly the goals and timetables of that program, and for revising that program as necessary.

All data submitted must reflect current year figures.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can

be:

* an existing published wage determination

* a survey underlying a wage determination

* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on

a wage

determination matter

* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests


Date Updated 4/30/12 (5/23/2012)

for summaries

of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office

for the area in

which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices

have

responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the

response from this

initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described

in 2.) and

3.) should be followed.

With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal

process

described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of

Construction

Wage Determinations. Write to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations

Wage and Hour Division

U.S. Department of Labor

200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an

interested party

(those affected by the action) can request review and

reconsideration from

the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR

Part 7).

Write to:

Wage and Hour Administrator




The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the

interested

party's position and by any information (wage payment data,

project

description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor

considers

relevant to the issue.

3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an

interested

party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board

(formerly the

Wage Appeals Board). Write to:

Administrative Review Board




4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.
