Substantial Completion, Punch List, & Final Completion The Work shall be substantially complete when the Project Manager, in the reasonable exercise of his/her discretion determines that the Work is complete and there are no material and/or substantial variations from the Contract Documents and the Work is fit for its intended purpose. Upon Substantial Completion, the Project Manager and the Contractor shall sign the Substantial Completion Inspection Form. The signing of this form shall not relieve the Contractor from its obligation to complete the Project. When the Contractor believes that the Work is substantially complete, the Contractor shall request in writing that the Project Manager or Consultant inspect the Work to determine if Substantial Completion has been achieved. No request for Substantial Completion inspection is to be submitted until the Contractor has obtained a Certificate(s) of Occupancy, Certificate of Completion or Use, or a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy or any other approvals from agencies having jurisdiction over the Work. The Project Manager or Consultant shall schedule the date and time for any inspection and notify the Contractor and any other parties deemed necessary: During this inspection, the Project Substantial Completion Inspection Form will be completed as necessary. Any remaining Construction Work shall be identified on this form and shall be known as Punch List Work. The Punch List shall be signed by the Project Manager and/or Consultant, and the Contractor confirming that the Punch List contains the item(s) necessary to complete the Work.

Once substantial completion is achieved the City shall be responsible for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Project site, and insurance; and shall list all Work yet to be completed to satisfy the requirements of the Contract Documents for Final Completion. The failure to include any items of corrective Work on such list does not alter the responsibility of Contractor to complete all of the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. Warranties required by the Contract Documents shall commence on the date of Final Acceptance completion of the Work or designated portion thereof unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents. 65. Acceptance and Final Payment Upon receipt of written notice from Contractor that the Work is ready for final inspection and acceptance, Project Manager and/or Consultant shall, within ten (10) calendar days, make an inspection thereof. If Project Manager and/or Consultant find the Work acceptable, the requisite documents have been submitted and the requirements of the Contract Documents fully satisfied, and all conditions of the permits and regulatory agencies have been met, a Final Certificate for Payment shall be issued by Project Manager, stating that the 5] Miami River Greenway Streetscape — ITB NO.: 11-12-020 NW 10th Ave to NW 12th Ave requirements of the Contract Documents have been performed and the Work is ready for acceptance under the terms and conditions thereof.

If, after the Work has been substantially completed, full completion thereof is materially delayed through no fault of Contractor, and Project Manager or Consultant so certifies, City shall, upon such certification of Consultant, and without terminating the Contract Documents, make payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted. Such payment shall be made under the terms and conditions governing final payment, except that it shall not constitute a waiver of claims. The acceptance of final payment shall constitute a waiver of all claims by Contractor, except those previously made in strict accordance with the provisions of the Contract and identified by Contractor as unsettled at the time of the application for final payment. 66. NDPES Requirements Contractor shall comply with the State of Florida rules and regulations for the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) including but not limited to all permitting, Notices of Intent, and the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).

Force Majeure Should any failure to perform on the part of Contractor be due to a condition of force majeure as that term is interpreted under Florida law, the City may allow an extension of time reasonably commensurate with the cause of such failure to perform or cure. If the Contractor is delayed in performing any obligation under the Contract Documents due to a force majeure condition, the Contractor shall request a time extension from the City within two (2) working days of said force majeure occurrence. Any time extension shall be subject to mutual agreement and shall not be cause for any claim by the Contractor for extra compensation unless additional services are required. Do Not Include inclement weather except as permitted by Florida law and may not include the acts or omissions of Sub -contractors. 68. Extension of Time Any reference in this section to the Contractor shall be deemed to include suppliers, and permitted Sub -Contractors, whether or not in privities of Contract with the Contractor for the purpose of this article. If the Contractor is delayed at any time during the progress of the Work beyond the Contract Time and/or Notice to Proceed (NTP) by the neglect or failure of the City or by a 52 Miami River Greenway Streetscape — ITB NO.: 11-12-020 NW 10th Ave to NW 12th Ave Force Majeure, then the Contract Time set forth in the Contract shall be extended by the City subject to the following conditions: • The cause of the delay arises after issuance of the NTP and could not have been anticipated by the Contractor by reasonable investigation before proceeding with the Work; • The Contractor demonstrates that the completion of the Work will be actually and necessarily delayed; • The effect of such cause cannot be avoided or mitigated by the exercise of all reasonable precautions, efforts and measures whether before or after the occurrence of the cause of delay. Note: A delay meeting all the conditions of the above, .shall be deemed an Excusable Delay. The City shall only consider weather related delays where adverse weather directly impacts the critical path of the Project Schedule. However, the City will also factor in other factor in considering an extension of time, including the length of the weather delay, and the adverse weather conditions as they relate to typical weather patterns during the period the Work is being performed. The City reserves the right to rescind or shorten any extension previously granted if subsequently, the Project Manager determines that any information provided by the Contractor in support of a request for an extension of time was erroneous; provided however, that such information or facts, if known, would have resulted in a denial of the request for an Excusable Delay. Notwithstanding the above, the Project Manager will not rescind or shorten any extension previously granted if the Contractor acted in reliance upon the granting of such extension and such extension was based on information which, although later found to have been erroneous, was submitted in good faith by the Contractor. The request for an Excusable Delay shall be made within ten (10) calendar days after the time when the Contractor knows or should have known of any cause for which it may claim an extension of time and shall provide any actual or potential basis for an extension of time, identifying such causes and describing, as fully as practicable at that time, the nature and expected duration of the delay and its effect on the completion of that part of the Work identified in the request. The Project Manager may require the Contractor to furnish such additional information or documentation, as the Project Manager shall reasonably deem necessary orhelpfulin considering the requested extension. The Contractor shall not be entitled to an extension of time unless the Contractor affirmatively demonstrates that it is entitled to such extension. The Project Manager shall endeavor to review and respond to the Contractor's request for Excusable . Delays in a reasonable period of time; however, the Contractor shall be obligated to continue to perform the Work required regardless of whether the Project Manager has issued a decision or whether the Contractor agrees or disagrees with that decision. With regard to an injunction, strike or interference of public origin which may delay the Project, the Contractor shall promptly give the Project Manager a copy of the injunction or other orders and copies of the papers upon which the same shall have been granted. The City shall be afforded the right to intervene and become a party to any suit or proceeding in which any such injunction shall be obtained and move to dissolve the same or otherwise, as the City may deem proper. The permitting of the Contractor to proceed with the Work subsequent to the date specified in the Contract (as such date may have been extended by a change order), the making of any payment to the Contractor, the issuance of any Change Order,' shall not waiver the 53 Miami River Greenway Streetscape — ITB NO.: 11-12-020 NW 10th Ave to NW 12th Ave City's rights under the Contract, including but not limited to the assessment of liquidated damages or declaring Contractor in default. 69. Notification of. Claim Any claim for a change in the Contract Time or Contract Price shall be made by written notice by Contractor to the Project Manager and to Consultant within ten (10) business days of the commencement of the event giving rise to the claim and stating the general nature and cause of the claim.

It is expressly and specifically agreed that any and all claims for changes to the Contract Time or Contract Price shall be waived if not submitted in strict accordance with the requirements of this Article. The Contract Time will be extended in an amount equal to time lost on critical Work items due to delays beyond the control of and through no fault or negligence of Contractor if a claim ismade therefore as provided in this Article. Such delays shall include, but not be limited to, acts or neglect by any separate contractor employed by City, fires, floods, labor disputes, epidemics, abnormal weather conditions or acts of God. 70. Extension of Time not Cumulative In case the Contractor shall be delayed for any period of time by two or more of the causes mentioned in Article 72, Excusable, Delay, Non Compensable the Contractor shall not be entitled to a separate extension for each one of the causes; only one period of extension shall be granted for the delay. 71. Contractor - No Damages for Delay; Time Extensions Only No claim for damages or any claim, other than for an extension of time, shall be made or asserted against City by reason of any delays except as provided herein. Contractor shall not be entitled to an increase in the Contract Price or payment or compensation of any kind from City for direct, indirect, consequential, impact or other costs, expenses or damages, including but not limited to costs of acceleration or inefficiency, arising because of delay, disruption, interference or hindrance from any .cause whatsoever, whether such delay, disruption, interference or hindrance be reasonable or unreasonable, foreseeable or unforeseeable, or avoidable or unavoidable; provided, however, that this provision shall not preclude recovery of damages by Contractor for actual delays due solely to fraud, bad faith or active interference on the part of City or its Consultant. Otherwise, Contractor shall be entitled only to extensions of the Contract Time for completion of the Work as the sole and exclusive remedy for such resulting delay, in accordance with and to the extent specifically provided above. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided for in the Contract Documents, the Contractor agrees to make no claim for damages for delay of any kind in the performance of the Contract Documents whether occasioned by any act or omission of the City or any of its representatives (whether it is an Excusable Delay or otherwise) and the Contractor agrees that any such claim shall be compensated solely by an extension of time to complete performance of the Work. In this regard, the Contractor alone hereby specifically assumes the risk of such delays, including without limitation: delays in processing or approving shop drawings, samples or other submittals or the failure to render determinations, approvals, replies, inspections or tests of the Work, in a timely manner. 54 Miami River Greenway Streetscape — ITB NO.: 11-12-020 NW 10th Ave to NW 12th Ave Contractor shall not receive monetary compensation for City delay. Time extensions may be authorized by the City in certain situations. 72. Excusable Delay, Non-Compensable Excusable Delay is (i) caused by circumstances beyond the control of Contractor, its Subcontractors, suppliers and vendors, and is also caused by circumstances beyond the control of the City or Consultant, or (ii) is caused jointly or concurrently by Contractor or its Subcontractors, suppliers or vendors and by the City or Consultant. Then Contractor shall be entitled only to a time extension and no compensation for the delay. Contractor is entitled to a time extension of the Contract Time for each day the Work is delayed due to Excusable Delay. Contractor shall document its claim for any time extension as provided in Article 69, Notification of Claim, hereof.

Nothing contained herein shall be construed to establish a period of limitation with respect to any other obligation which Contractor might have under the Contract Documents including but not limited to any claim regarding latent defects. Failure to reject any defective Work or material shall not in any way prevent later rejection when such defect is discovered, or obligate City to final acceptance. 75. Acceptance of Defective or Non -Conforming Work The City, in its sole discretion, may elect in writing to accept defective or non -conforming Work instead of requiring its removal and correction. In such instances, a Change Order 55 Miami River Greenway Streetscape — ITB NO.: 11-12-020 NW 10th Ave to NW 12th Ave will be issued to reflect an appropriate reduction in the Contract sum, or, if the amount is determined after final payment, any difference in the amount shall be paid to the City by the Contractor. 76.

In the event the Contractor subcontracts a portion of the Contract work, he/she shall determine how many, if any, of the trainees are to be trained by the Subcontractor provided, that the Contractor shall retain the primary responsibility for meeting the training requirements imposed by this Special Provision. The Contractor shall apply the requirements of this Training Special Provision to such subcontract. Where feasible, 25% of apprentices or trainees in each occupation shall be in their first year of apprenticeship or training. The number of trainees will be estimated on the number of calendar days of the Contract, the dollar value, and the scope of work to be performed. The trainee goal will be finalized at a Post-Preconstruction Trainee Evaluation Meeting and the goal will be distributed among the work classifications based on the following criteria: 1) Determine the number of trainees on Federal Aid Contract: (a) No trainees will be required for contracts with a contract time allowance of less than 225 calendar days. 103 Miami River Greenway Streetscape — I T B NO.: 11-12-020 NW 10th Ave to NW 12th Ave L_ (b) If the contract time allowance is 225 calendar days or more, the number of trainees shall be established in accordance with the following chart: Estimated Contract Amount Trainees Required Under $1,000,000.0 Over`$1,000,000 to 3,000,000 2 Over $3,000,000 to 5,000,000 3 Over$5,000;000 to $10,000,000 5 Over 10,000,000 to 1'5,000,000 7 Over 15,000,000 to 20,000,000 9 Over 20,000,000 to * 12 * One Additional trainee per $5,000,000 of estimated construction contract amount over $20,000,000. Further, if the Contractor or Subcontractor requests to utilize banked trainees as discussed later in this Special Provision, a Banking Certificate will be validated at this meeting allowing credit to the Contractor for previously banked trainees. The Contractor's Project Manager, the Construction Project Engineer and the Department's District Compliance Manager will attend this meeting. Within ten days after the Post- Preconstruction Training Evaluation Meeting, the Contractor shall submit to the Department for approval an On -The -Job Training Schedule indicating the number of trainees to be trained in each selected classification and the portion of the contract time during which training of each trainee is to take place. This schedule may be subject to change if the following occur: 1) When a start date on the approved On -The -Job Training Schedule has been missed by 14 or more days; 2) When there is a change(s) in previously approved classifications; 3) When replacement trainees are added due to voluntary or involuntary termination • The revised schedule will be resubmitted to and approved by the Department's District Compliance Manager. The following criteria will be used in determining whether or not the Contractor has complied with this Training Special Provision as it relates to the number of trainees to be trained: 1. Full credit will be allowed for each trainee that is both enrolled and satisfactorily completes training on this Contract. Credit for trainees, over the established number for this Contract, will be carried in a "bank" for the Contractor and credit will be allowed for those surplus trainees in subsequent, applicable projects. A "banked" trainee is described as an employee who has been trained on a project, over and above the established goal, and for which the Contractor desires to preserve credit for utilization on a subsequent project. 2. Full credit will be allowed for each trainee that has been previously enrolled in the Department's approved training program on another contract and continues training in the same job classification for a significant period and completes his/her training on this Contract. 3. Full credit will be allowed for each trainee who, due to the amount of work available in his/her classification, is given the greatest practical amount of training on the contract regardless of whether or not the trainee completes training. 4. Full credit will be allowed for any training position indicated in the approved On -The - Job Training Schedule, if the Contractor can demonstrate that he/she has made his/her a good faith effort to provide training in that classification. 104 Miami River Greenway Streetscape — ITB NO.: 11-12-020 NW 10th Ave to NW 12th Ave L- 5. No credit will be allowed for a trainee whose employment by the Contractor is involuntarily terminated unless the Contractor can clearly demonstrate good cause for this action. The Contractor shall, as far as is practical, comply with the time frames established in the approved On -The -Job Training Schedule. When this proves to be impractical, a revised schedule shall be submitted and approved as provided above. 105 Miami River Greenway Streetscape — ITB NO.: 11-12-020 NW 10th Ave to NW 12th Ave Training and upgrading of minorities, women and economically disadvantaged persons toward journeyman status is a primary objective of this Training -Special .Provision. Accordingly, the Contractor shall', make every effort to enroll minority trainees and women (e.g., by conducting systematic and direct recruitment through `public . and private sources likely.to yield minority and women trainees) to:the extent such;persons are available within a reasonable area of recruitment. If a non -minority male is enrolled into On -The -Job Training, the On -The -Job Training Notification of Personnel Action Form notifying the District Compliance Manager of such action shall be accompanied by a disadvantaged certification or a justification for such action acceptable to the Department's District Compliance Manager. The Contractor will be given an opportunity and will be responsible for.: demonstrating the :steps that he has taken in pursuance thereof, prior to a determination as to•whether the Contractor is in compliance with this Training Special Provision. This 'training is not: intended, and shall not be used, to discriminate against any applicant for training, whether a minority, woman or disadvantaged person. No employee shall be employed as a trainee in any classification in which he/she has successfully completed a training course leading to journeyman status, has been employed as a journeyman, or has had extensive experience in the classification being considered for training. The Contractor shall satisfy this requirement by including appropriate questions in the employee application or by other suitable means. Regardless of the method used, the Contractor's records should document the findings in each case. The minimum length and type of training for each classification will be as established at the Post-Preconstruction Trainee Evaluation Meeting and approved by the Department. Graduation to journeyman status will be based upon satisfactory completion of Proficiency Demonstrations set up as milestones in each specific training classification, completion of the minimum hours in a training classification range and the employer's satisfaction that the trainee does meet journeyman status in the classification of training. Upon reaching journeyman status, the following documentation must be forwarded to the District Compliance Office; Trainee Enrollment and Personnel Action Form, the Proficiency Demonstration Verification Form signed at each milestone by a representative of both the Contractor and the Department and a letter stating that the trainee has sufficiently progressed in the craft and is being promoted to journeyman status. The Department and the Contractor shall establish a program that is tied to the scope of the work in the project and the length of operations providing it is reasonably calculated to meet the equal employment opportunity obligations of the Contractor and to qualify the average trainee for journeyman status in the classifications concerned, by at least, the minimum hours prescribed for a training classification. Furthermore, apprenticeship programs registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or with a State apprenticeship agency recognized by the Bureau and training programs approved but not necessarily sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor, Manpower Administration, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training shall also be considered acceptable provided it is being administered in a manner consistent with the equal employment obligations of Federal Aid highway construction contract.

Training in the laborer classification may be permitted provided that significant and meaningful training is provided and approved by the District Compliance Office. Some offsite training is permissible as long as the training is an integral part of an approved training program and does not compromise a significant part of the overall training. As approved in advance by the District Compliance Manager, credit will be given for training of persons in excess of the number specified herein under the current Contract or a Contractor will be allowed to bank trainees who have successfully completed a training program and may apply those trainees to a training requirement in subsequent project(s) upon approval of the Department's District Compliance Manager. This credit • will be given even though the Contractor may receive training program funds from other sources, provided such other source do not specifically prohibit the Contractorfrom receiving other form of compensation. Credit for offsite training indicated above may only be made to the Contractor where he does one or more of the following and the trainees are concurrently employed on a Federal Aid Project; contributes to the cost of the training, provides the instruction to the trainee and pays the trainee's wages during the offsite training period. No credit shall be given to the Contractor if either the failure to provide the required training, or the failure to hire the trainee as a journeyman, is caused by the Contractor and evidences a lack of good faith on the part of the Contractor in meeting the requirements of this Training Special Provision. The Contractor shall compensate the trainee at no Tess than the laborer rate established in the Contract at the onset of training. This compensation rate will be increased to the journeyman's wage for that classification upon graduation from the training program. The Contractor shall furnish the traineea copy of the program he will follow in providing the training. The Contractor shall provide each trainee with a certification showing the type and length of training satisfactorily completed.

FORMS/!INSTRUCTIONS . The Florida Department of Transportation Department began itsDBE.race neutral program January 1, 2000. Contract specific goals are not. placed on'Federal/State. contracts;. however,. the Department has an overall 8.1%:DBE goal it must achieve. In order to assist contractors in determining their DBE commitment level, the Department has reviewed the estimates for this letting. As you prepare your bid, please monitor potential or anticipated DBE utilization for contracts. When the low bidder executes the contract with the. Department, information will be requested of the contractor's anticipated DBE participation for the project. While the utilization is not mandatory in order to be awarded the project, continuing utilization of DBE firms on contracts supports the success of Florida's Voluntary DBE Program, and supports contractors' Equal Employment Opportunity and DBE Affirmative Action Programs. NOTE: Any project listed as 0% DBE availability does not mean that a DBE may not be used on that project. A 0% DBE availability may have been established due to any of the following reasons: limited identified subcontracting opportunities, minimal contract days, and/or small contract dollar amount. Contractors are encouraged to identify any opportunities to subcontract to DBEs. If you have any questions regarding this information, please contact the Equal Opportunity Office at (850) 414-4747. DBE Reporting If you are the prime contractor on a project, complete the attached Anticipated DBE Participation Statement and submit the information at the pre -construction or pre -work conference for all federal and state funded projects. This will not become a mandatory part of the contract. It will assist the Department in tracking and reporting planned or estimated DBE utilization. During the contract, the prime contractor is required to report actual payments to all subcontractors through the web -based Equal Opportunity Reporting System (EORS), BizWeb. All DBE payments must be reported whether or not you initially planned to utilize the company. In order for our race neutral DBE Program to be successful, your cooperation is imperative. If you have any questions concerning the completion or submission of this information, contact the FDOT EOO at (850) 414-4747. Bid Opportunity List The Federal DBE Program requires States to maintain a database of all firms that are participating or attempting to participate on FDOT-assisted contracts. The list must include all firms that bid on prime contracts or bid or quote subcontracts on FDOT-assisted projects, including both DBEs and non -DBEs. A form is included to record bidders' information for ALL subcontractors or sub -consultants who quoted to you for specific projects for this letting.

It is extremely important that you continue to submit the Anticipated DBE Participation Statement at the pre -construction conference for all federal and state funded projects. This primary information is used by the State and Federal Government to evaluate our performance in the DBE Program. In addition, forfederal and state funded projects, you must also report actual payments in the Equal Opportunity Reporting System. Revisions were made to the specifications beginning with the October 2000 letting that states in section 9-6.7: The Contractor is required to report monthly, through the Department's Equal Opportunity Reporting System on the Internet at www.dot.state.fl.us, actual payments, retainage, minority status, and the work type of all subcontractors and suppliers. Since the specifications were revised, we have made some additional modifications to ease the burden on the contractor. We will pursue making the permanent modifications to the specifications. In the interim, each month you must report actual payments to all DBE subcontractors, sub -consultants and suppliers. Payments to all non -DBE subcontractors and sub -consultants will need to be reported either monthly or at the end of the project. Payments to non -DBE suppliers need not be reported at all. This information can be submitted in hard copy form, if necessary. Instructions for accessing the EORS are included.

A manufactured steel or iron, product is complete only when all grinding, drilling, welding, finishing and coating have been completed. If a domestic product is taken outside the United States for any process, it becomes foreign source material. When using steel and iron as a component of any manufactured product' incorporated into the project (e.g., concrete pipe, prestressed beams, corrugated steel pipe, etc.), these same provisions apply, except that the manufacturer may use minimal quantities of foreign steel and iron when the cost of such foreign materials does not exceed 0.1 % of the total Contract amount or $2,500, whichever is greater. These requirements are applicable to all steel and iron materials incorporated into the finished work, but are not applicable to steel and iron items that the Contractor uses but does not incorporate into the finished work. Provide a certification from the producer of steel or iron, or any product containing steel or iron as a component, stating that all steel or iron furnished or incorporated into the furnished product was manufactured in the United States in accordance with the requirements of this specification and the Buy America provisions of 23 CFR 635.410, as amended. Such certification shall also include (1) a statement that the product was produced entirely within the United States, or (2) a statement that the product was produced within the United States except for minimal quantities of foreign steel and iron valued at $ (actual value). Furnish each such certification to the Engineer prior to incorporating the material into the project. When FHWA allows the use of foreign steel on a project, furnish invoices to document the cost of such material, and obtain the Engineer's written approval prior to incorporating the material into the project. 146 Miami River Greenway Streetscape — ITB NO.: 11-12-020 NW 10th Ave to NW 12th Ave • Federal Wage Rates — FL.325 General Decision Number: FL120226 01/06/2012 FL226 Superseded General Decision Number: FL20100325 State: Florida Construction Type: Highway County: Miami -Dade County in Florida..

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)). The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular rate is union or non -union. Union Identifiers An identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" denotes that the union classification and rate have found to be prevailing for that classification. Example: PLUM0198-005 07/01/2011. The first four letters , PLUM, indicate the international union and the four -digit number, 0198, that follows indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable , i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. The date, 07/01/2011, following these characters is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate/collective bargaining agreement which would be July 1, 2011 in the above example. Union prevailing wage rates will be updated to reflect any changes in the collective bargaining agreements governing the rate. Non -Union Identifiers Classifications listed under an "SU" identifier were derived from survey data by computing average rates and are not union rates; however, the data used in computing these rates may include both union and non -union data. Example: SULA2004-007 5/13/2010. SU indicates the rates are not union rates, LA indicates the State of Louisiana; 2004 is the year of the survey; and 007 is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. A 1993 or later date, 5/13/2010, indicates the classifications and rates under that identifier were issued as a General Wage Determination on that date. Survey wage rates will remain in effect and will not change until a new survey is conducted. 150 Miami River Greenway Streetscape — ITB NO.: 11-12-020 NW 10th Ave to NW 12th Ave 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 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 U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210 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 U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210 4.)

Recognizing'that some programs are funded by grants or other entities on a reimbursement basis, the city shall apply for such reimbursements on a timety basis to minimize the period that city funds are used as float. In the event loans/float for these reimbursements extend beyond the end of a fiscal year, such reimbursements shall be reflected as receivables in the comprehensive annual financial statements report (CAFR) to the extent allowed under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The department of finance shall make a quarterly determination of the amount of expenses incurred which may not be reimbursable under these programs: A quarterly report of expenses incurred but not reimbursable shall be presented to the city commission, together with the actions needed to avoid project deficits. (4) For purposes of this section, city-wide surplus for any fiscal year is defined as the increase in unreserved general fund balance as reflected in the city's comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR). City-wide deficit for any fiscal year is defined as the decrease in unreserved general fund balance as reflected in the city's comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR). Budget surplus of any office, department or elected official is defined as the excess of budgeted expenses over actual expenses in any fiscal year. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this section, the total amount of budget surplus to be added to designated reserves and special revenue funds pursuant to this section (together, the "rollover amounts") is limited to city-wide surplus for any fiscal year. In the event the rollover amounts would result in a city-wide deficit, then each budget surplus within the rollover amounts shall be reduced proportionately so the city's comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) will reflect no change in undesignated, unreserved general fund balance. In the event that a city-wide deficit would result before effecting the rollover amounts in any fiscal year, then no rollover amounts shall be available. a. Budget surpluses in an elected official's budget in any fiscal year shall be reflected as designated reserves at the end of the fiscal year in which such surplus arose and be appropriated for discretionary use of such elected official for the following fiscal year. b. Budget surpluses of the parks and recreation department shall be allocated, as of the end of the fiscal year in which such surplus arose, to a parks special revenue fund. Allowed expenditures from the parks special revenue fund shall be limited to the purchase of parks recreational and maintenance equipment and the direct operations of recreational programs in and for the city's parks, subject to appropriation by the city commission. c. Budgeted surpluses of the department of conferences, conventions and public facilities shall be allocated, as of the end of the fiscal year in which such surplus arose, to a public facilities special revenue fund. Allowed expenditures of the public facilities special revenue fund shall be limited to capital improvements for the city's public facilities, subject to appropriation by the city commission. d. Budgeted surpluses of the department of information technology shall be allocated, as of the end of the fiscal year in which such surplus arose, to an IT strategic plan special revenue fund.

(5) Reserve policies. The following three reserve policies categories are established for the general operating fund of the city: Payment for compensated absences and other employee benefit liabilities and self-insurance plan deficits may be drawn from this reserve during the fiscal year and shall be replenished each year until fifty percent (50%) if such the liabilities are funded. Other designated reserves may be drawn upon without the need for replenishment. a. Current fiscal year contingency. A "contingency" reserve level of $5,000,000.00 shall be budgeted annually. Such contingency reserve shall be available for use, with city commission approval, during the fiscal year, to fund unanticipated budget issues which arise or potential expenditure overruns which cannot be offset through other sources or actions. The unused portion of the budgeted contingency reserve in any fiscal year shall be reflected as designated reserves until such time as the city has funded 50 percent of the liabilities of the long-term liabilities 152 Miami River Greenway Streetscape — ITB NO.: 11-12-020 NW 10`h Ave to NW 12th Ave (excluding bonds loans, and capital lease payables) as reflected in.the city's comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR).
