In the event such an audit by the City reveals any errors/overpayments by the City, Contractor shall refund the City the full amount of such overpayments within thirty (30) days of such audit findings, or the City, at its option, reserves the right to deduct such amounts owing the City from any payments due Contractor. 58. NON -ARBITRATION 59. The City reserves the right to exercise any right or remedy available to it by law, contract, equity, or otherwise, including without limitation, the right to seek any and all forms of relief in a court of competent jurisdiction. Further, the City shall not be subject to any arbitration process prior to exercising its unrestricted right to seek judicial remedy. The remedies set forth herein are cumulative and not exclusive, and may be exercised concurrently. To the extent of any conflict between this provision and another provision in, or related to, this document, this provision shall control. House Bill 2015, signed by the Governor on June 14, 2013 and effective on January 1, 2014, authorizes a penalty to be imposed on a person who contracts for certain services with a governmental entity and who fails to properly classify their workers. This applies to subcontractors as well. Contractors and subcontractors who fail to properly classify individuals performing work under a governmental contract will be penalized $200 for each individual that has been misclassified. Governmental entities may want to include information on this new misclassification penalty in their contracts with entities that are providing services covered by this new requirement (Texas Government Code Section 2155.001). 20 DAVIS BACON WAGE DETERMINATIONS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK 1 General Decision Number: TX130007 01/04/2013 TX7 Superseded General Decision Number: TX20120007 State: Texas Construction Types: Heavy and Highway Counties: Armstrong, Carson, Crosby, Ector, Irion, Lubbock, Midland, Potter, Randall, Taylor and Tom Green Counties in Texas.

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 rates. 0000/9999: weighted union wage rates will be published annually each January. 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 majority 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. ----------------------------------------------------------- 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 3 E 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.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final. END OF GENERAL DECISION EXHIBIT B Prevailing Wage Rates Overtime Rate The rate for overtime (in excess of forty hours per week) shall be as required by the Fair Labor Standards Act. EXHIBIT C Prevailing Wage Rates Legal Holiday Rate The rate for legal holidays shall be as required by the Fair Labor Standards Act. 4 SPECIAL CONDITIONS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK E SPECIAL CONDITIONS TIME AND ORDER FOR COMPLETION The patching process covered by the contract documents shall be fully completed within 150 (ONE HUNDRED FIFTY) consecutive calendar days from the date specified in the Notice to Proceed issued by the City of Lubbock to the successful bidder. A. The concrete repairs, with locations and materials as designated by the City's representative, may begin as soon as the Contractor receives the Notice to Proceed, and proceed until all designated locations are completed. B. The repairs shall be completed in 150 (ONE HUNDRED -FIFTY) consecutive calendar days. The Contractor shall pay to the owner $1,044 per day for each calendar day after that as liquidated damages. No credit will be given for bad weather days or other delays. In the event it is determined by the City that the progress of the work is not satisfactory, the City may direct the Contractor to take such action as the City deems necessary to insure completion of the project within the time specified. 2. CHANGES IN THE WORK The Street Department may make changes in the scope of the work required to be performed by the Contractor under the Contract or making additions thereto, or by omitting work there from, without involving the Contract, and without relieving or releasing the Contractor from any of his obligations under the contract or any guarantee given by him pursuant to the Contract provisions, and without affecting the validity of the guaranty bonds, and without relieving or releasing the surety or sureties of said bonds. All such work shall be executed under the terms of the original Contract unless it is expressly provided otherwise Except for the purpose of affording protection against any emergency endangering health, life, limb or property, the Contractor shall make no change in the materials used or in the specified manner of constructing and/or installing the improvements or supply additional labor, services or materials beyond that actually required for the execution of the contract, unless in pursuance of a written order from the local Public Agency authorizing the Contractor to proceed with the change. No claim for an adjustment of the contract price will be valid unless so ordered. If applicable unit prices are contained in the agreement (established as a result of either a unit price bid or a Supplement Schedule of Unit Prices) the Street Department may order the Contractor to proceed with desired changes in the work, the value of such changes to be determined by the measured quantities involved and the applicable unit prices specified in the contract; provided that in case of a unit price contract the net value of all changes does not increase or decrease the original total amount shown in the Agreement by more than twenty-five (25%) percent. The Contractor's Superintendent and/or his assistants will not be allowed to serve two functions simultaneously, such operating machinery and acting as Superintendent at the same time. The Contractor's Superintendent must be free of individual responsibilities to enable him to give the entire project his constant attention to facilitate the progress thereof. The Contractor's Superintendent will be responsible for establishing grade control on concrete removal and replacement. 4. PROSECUTION OF WORK The Contractor will, before starting any work on any street, erect barricades and signs, or provide sufficient flagmen, as approved by the Street Superintendent, to give notice to vehicular traffic. During the construction the Contractor is to close to traffic streets, as approved by the Street Superintendent. At no time during the period of construction shall driveways and/or alleys be left impassable between the night hours of 6 P.M. to 6 A.M., except during the construction of the curb and gutter for which the driveways and/or alleys shall remain closed not more than 4 days including 72 hours for curing. The Contractor will, during the progress of the work, erect and maintain for twenty-four hours a day such barricades and warnings, as approved by the Street Superintendent, necessary to give notice to vehicular and pedestrian traffic of any and all obstructions and insofar as possible keep the streets and/or alleys on which work is being done in a passable condition. During the time the concrete is curing in the alleys and until it can be opened to traffic, the Contractor shall maintain warning signs on barricades with lights at each end of the block until the alley can be opened to traffic. The flagmen will be required to wear vests and use the type of flag as shown on flagging detail sheet in specifications. All equipment working on the streets will at all times have at least two (2) red, orange or fluorescent red -orange flags at least 16" x 16" in size. These flags shall be mounted high enough on the equipment so that they will be visible to all traffic meeting or passing the equipment. Before work is started on any street it will be the responsibility of the Contractor to notify each property owner that has a car or cars parked in their driveways or garages so that each owner might have the opportunity to move their cars. The Contractor shall schedule his work on major thoroughfares and collectors at least 5 days in advance, in order that businesses may have time to adjust their plans. On all thoroughfares and collectors, the Contractor and the City's Representatives will work with each of the businesses, hospitals, schools, etc., so that only part of the driveways into their parking lots will be closed. At no time will any parking lot be completely closed, without prior approval from the Owner's Representative, unless the work is being accomplished at night and the businesses are closed. The Contractor shall be responsible for notifying affected businesses of the proposed work and the projected schedule for completion of this work. Immediately after each re -construction the Contractor shall clean, remove any paving materials from gutters, rubbish and temporary structures from the street, restore in an acceptable manner all property, both public and private which has been damaged during the prosecution of the work, and leave the site of the work in a neat and presentable condition throughout. The cost of the "cleanup" shall be included as part of the cost of the various items of the work involved, and no direct compensation will be made for this work. The Contractor should familiarize himself with the Texas Manual on UNIFORM TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES for Streets and Highways. Part VI. BARRICADES AND DANGER WARNING AND DETOUR SIGNS AND TRAFFIC HANDLING The Contractor shall have the sole responsibility for providing, installing, moving, replacing, maintaining, cleaning and removing upon completion of work, all barricades, warning signs, barriers, cones, lights, signals and other such type devices for handling traffic control as indicated in the plans or as directed by the Street Superintendent.

PUBLIC SAFETY AND CONVENIENCE Ingress and egress to private property shall be provided as specified in the plans or as directed by the Street Superintendent. The Contractor shall plan and execute his operations in a manner that will cause the minimum interference with traffic. The Contractor shall secure the Street Superintendent's approval of his proposed plan of operation, sequence of work, and methods of providing for the safe passage of traffic before it is placed into operation. If at any time during construction the approved plan does not accomplish the intended purpose, due to weather or other conditions affecting the safe handling of traffic, the Contractor shall immediately make necessary changes therein to correct the unsatisfactory conditions. At night or otherwise, all equipment not in use shall be stored in such a manner and at such locations as not to interfere with the safe passage of traffic. The Contractor shall provide and maintain flaggers at such points an for such periods of time as may be required to provide for the safety and convenience of public travel and Contractor's personnel, and as directed by the Street Superintendent.

It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to remove these obstructions at the direction of the Street Superintendent, except that the utility companies will move their equipment at no cost to the Contractor. The Contractor will receive no compensation for delay caused by the Utility Companies in relocating or removing their equipment. 9. TEST OF MATERIALS The City of Lubbock Pavement Management laboratory test results shall be the sole consideration for approval of materials, mix designs, adequacy of procedures, etc. The results of such testing shall be evaluated and final approval given by the Street Superintendent. _- A. CONCRETE MATERIALS Before Concrete materials can be used on any street, a current mix design (not older than 30 days) with test reports will be submitted to the Street Superintendent for approval. During the construction period, concrete tests that fail will require the location to be cored at the contractor's expense. If the concrete cores fail, the concrete work will be removed and replaced at no additional cost to the City of Lubbock. B. HOT MIX The Contractor, or supplier of such materials, shall submit a mix design to the City Pavement Management office, at least thirty (30) days prior to the reconstruction, a mix design it shall include, but not limited to crushed face counts, Flakiness Index tests, and magnesium sulfate(soundness) tests. The gradation requirements shall be that as necessary to meet the gradation requirements of Item 6.3 (HMAC Mix Design Requirements). The crushed face count, Flakiness Index, and Magnesium Sulfate requirements shall meet those established in City of Lubbock Standard Paving Specifications, Item number 6.4. 10. SUBCONTRACTOR The Contractor shall not award any work to any subcontractor without prior written approval of the Owner, which approval will not be given until the Contractor submits to the Owner a written statement concerning the proposed award to the subcontractor, which statement shall contain such information as the Owner may require. The Contractor shall be as fully responsible to the Owner for the acts and omissions of his subcontractors, and of persons either directly or indirectly employed by them, as he is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by him. The Contractor shall cause appropriate provisions to be inserted in all subcontracts relative to the work to bind subcontractors to the Contractor by the terms of the General Conditions and other contract documents insofar as applicable to the work of subcontractors and to give the Contractor the same power as regard terminating any subcontract that the Owner may exercise over the Contractor under any provision of the contract documents. Nothing contained in this contract shall create any contractual relation between any subcontractor and the Owner and said subcontractor will look exclusively to contractor for any payments due subcontractor. 11. UNDERGROUND UTILITIES The Contractor's attention is directed to the fact that pipelines and other underground installations as may be shown on the plans have been taken from the best available information. There may be other pipelines or installations. The Contractor shall hold harmless the City from any and all suits or claims resulting from damage by his operations to any pipeline or underground installation. It is the Contractor's responsibility, during the period of street construction, to insure that all utility cuts in the limits of street construction have been properly backfilled, compacted, and the top 6" inches backfilled with 2-sack flowable fill. It is not the intent to require the Contractor to provide for the utility cut repair but for the individual utility company making the cut to provide their own repairs. In the case of a City underground installation, the Contractor may be required, at the Street Superintendent's option, to repair the cut with 2-sack flowable fill at the unit price bid. 12. PARTIAL PAYMENTS On or before the tenth day of each month, the Contractor shall submit to Owner's Representative an application for partial payment. Owner's Representative shall review said application for partial payment and the progress of the work made by the Contractor and if found to be in order shall prepare a certificate for partial payment showing as completely as practical the total value of the work done by the Contractor up to and including the last day of the preceding month. 13.
