Except as provided in Page 10 of 26 §8.F, Local Agency shall not commence Work on any phase until it receives a notice to proceed from the State; such notice to proceed shall not be issued without a fully executed Task Order for such phase.

Advance, Interim and Final Payments Any advance payment allowed under this Agreement or in any Task Order shall comply with State Fiscal Rules and be made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Local Agency shall initiate any payment requests by submitting invoices to the State in the form and manner, approved by the State. ii. Interest The State shall fully pay each invoice within 45 days of receipt thereof if the amount invoiced represents performance by the Local Agency previously accepted by the State. Uncontested amounts not paid by the State within 45 days shall bear interest on the unpaid balance beginning on the 46th day at a rate not to exceed one percent per month until paid in full; provided, however, that interest shall not accrue on unpaid amounts that are subject to a good faith dispute.

The billing shall reference the delinquent payment, the number of days interest to be paid and the interest rate. iii. Available Funds-Contingency-Termination The State is prohibited by law from making commitments beyond the term of the State's current fiscal year. Therefore, the Local Agency's compensation beyond the State's current Fiscal Year is contingent upon the continuing availability of State appropriations as provided in the Colorado Special Provisions. The State's performance hereunder is also contingent upon the continuing availability of federal funds. Payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be made only from available funds encumbered for this Agreement through Task Orders and the State's liability for such payments shall be limited to the amount remaining of such Agreement Funds. If State or federal funds are not appropriated, or otherwise become unavailable to fund this Agreement, the State may terminate this Agreement immediately, in whole or in part, without further liability in accordance with the provisions hereof. iv. Erroneous Payments At the State's sole discretion, payments made to the Local Agency in error for any reason, including, but not limited to overpayments or improper payments, and unexpended or excess funds received by the Local Agency, may be recovered from the Local Agency by deduction from subsequent payments under this Agreement or other contracts, grants or agreements between the State and the Local Agency or by other appropriate methods and collected as a debt due to the State. Such funds shall not be paid to any party other than the State. C. Use of Funds Agreement Funds shall be used only for eligible costs identified herein. D. Local Funds The Local Agency shall provide Local Funds as specified in Task Order Budget(s).

The Local Agency represents to the State that the amount designated "Local Funds" in an authorized Task Order Budget has been legally appropriated for the purpose of this Agreement by its authorized representatives and paid into its treasury. The Local Agency does not by this Agreement irrevocably pledge present cash reserves for payments in future fiscal years, and this Agreement is not intended to create a multiple-fiscal year debt of the Local Agency. The Local Agency shall not pay or be liable for any claimed interest, late charges, fees, taxes or penalties of any nature, except as required by the Local Agency's laws or policies. Page 11 of 26 E.

EXHIBIT F-CERTIFICATION FOR FEDERAL-AID CONTRACTS The Local Agency certifies, by signing this Agreement, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that: No Federal appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid, by or on behalf or the undersigned, to any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any Federal agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in connection with the awarding of any Federal loan, the entering into of any cooperative agreement, and the extension, continuation, renewal, amendment, or modification of any Federal contract, Agreement, loan, or cooperative agreement. If any funds other than Federal appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid to any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in connection with this Federal contract, Agreement, loan, or cooperative agreement, the undersigned shall complete and submit Standard Form-LLL, "Disclosure Form to Report Lobbying," in accordance with its instructions. This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when this transaction was made or entered into. Submission of this certification is a prerequisite for making or entering into this transaction imposed by Section 1352, Title 31, U.S. Code. Any person who fails to file the required certification shall be subject to a civil penalty of not less than $10,000 and not more than $100,000 for each such failure. The Local Agency also agrees by signing this Agreement that it shall require that the language of this certification be included in all lower tier subcontracts, which exceed $100,000 and that all such sub- recipients shall certify and disclose accordingly. Required by 23 CFR 635.112 Page 1 of 1 34. EXHIBIT G - DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE 1. Program Objective and Assurance: It is the objective of the State to create a level playing field upon which Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs) can compete fairly for DOT-assisted contracts. By entering into this Agreement, the Local Agency hereby agrees to the following: The Local Agency shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the award and performance of any DOT-assisted contract or in the administration of the DBE program or the requirements of 49 CFR part 26. The Local Agency shall take all necessary and reasonable steps under 49 CFR part 26 to ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of DOT- assisted contracts. The State's DBE program, as required by 49 CFR part 26 and as approved by DOT, is incorporated by reference in this agreement. Implementation of this program is a legal obligation and failure to carry out its terms shall be treated as a violation of this agreement. Upon notification to the recipient of its failure to carry out its approved program, the Department may impose sanctions as provided for under part 26 and may, in appropriate cases, refer the matter for enforcement under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act of 1986 (31 U.S.C. 3801 et seq.). Each contract the Local Agency signs with a subcontractor(and each subcontract the prime contractor signs with a subcontractor) must include the following assurance: The contractor, sub recipient or subcontractor 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 DOT-assisted contracts. 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 the recipient deems appropriate. 2. DBE Contract Goals: Each scope of work prepared to procure consultant services or construction of the Work shall be evaluated by the CDOT Regional Civil Rights Office to determine a contract goal. The Local Agency shall be responsible for ensuring that the contract goal is incorporated into the procurement advertisement and accompanied by either: a. For consultant services, CDOT's then current process for evaluating the Consultant's proposed DBE participation; or an alternative proposed by the local agency and approved by CDOT. b. For construction, the CDOT DBE Standard Special Provision and all related forms. The Local Agency shall submit the Statement of Interest (consultants) and/or DBE Forms (Construction) to the CDOT Civil Rights and Business Resource Center for review and concurrence prior to award. 3. Compliance: With the assistance of the Local Agency, the CDOT Regional Civil Rights Office shall oversee the subcontractor's performance toward the contract goal. Revised 11/2013 Page 1 of 1 35. EXHIBIT H- LOCAL AGENCY PROCEDURES FOR CONSULTANT SERVICES THE LOCAL AGENCY SHALL USE THESE PROCEDURES TO IMPLEMENT FEDERAL-AID PROJECT AGREEMENTS WITH PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANT SERVICES Title 23 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 172 applies to a federally funded local agency project agreement administered by CDOT that involves professional consultant services. 23 CFR 172.1 states "The policies and procedures involve federally funded contracts for engineering and design related services for projects subject to the provisions of 23 U.S.C. 112(a) and are issued to ensure that a qualified consultant is obtained through an equitable selection process, that prescribed work is properly accomplished in a timely manner, and at fair and reasonable cost" and according to 23 CFR 172.5 "Price shall not be used as a factor in the analysis and selection phase."Therefore, local agencies must comply with these CFR requirements when obtaining professional consultant services under a federally funded consultant contract administered by CDOT. CDOT has formulated its procedures in Procedural Directive (P.D.) 400.1 and the related operations guidebook titled "Obtaining Professional Consultant Services". This directive and guidebook incorporate requirements from both Federal and State regulations, i.e., 23 CFR 172 and 9 CRS §24-30-1401 et seq. Copies of the directive and the guidebook may be obtained upon request from CDOT's Agreements and Consultant Management Unit. [Local agencies should have their own written procedures on file for each method of procurement that addresses the items in 23 CFR 172]. Because the procedures and laws described in the Procedural Directive and the guidebook are quite lengthy, the subsequent steps serve as a short-hand guide to CDOT procedures that a local agency must follow in obtaining professional consultant services. This guidance follows the format of 23 CFR 172. The steps are: 1. The contracting local agency shall document the need for obtaining professional services. 2. Prior to solicitation for consultant services, the contracting local agency shall develop a detailed scope of work and a list of evaluation factors and their relative importance. The evaluation factors are those identified in C.R.S. 24-30-1403. Also, a detailed cost estimate should be prepared for use during negotiations. 3. The contracting agency must advertise for contracts in conformity with the requirements of C.R.S. 24-30-1405. The public notice period, when such notice is required, is a minimum of 15 days prior to the selection of the three most qualified firms and the advertising should be done in one or more daily newspapers of general circulation. 4. The request for consultant services should include the scope of work, the evaluation factors and their relative importance, the method of payment, 6and the goal for Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation for the project. 5. The analysis and selection of the consultants shall be done in accordance with CRS §24-30- 1403. This section of the regulation identifies the criteria to be used in the evaluation of CDOT pre-qualified prime consultants and their team. It also shows which criteria are used to short- list and to make a final selection. The short-list is based on the following evaluation factors: a. Qualifications, b. Approach to the Work, c. Ability to furnish professional services. d. Anticipated design concepts, and e. Alternative methods of approach for furnishing the professional services. Page 1 of 2 Evaluation factors for final selection are the consultant's: a. Abilities of their personnel, b. Past performance, c. Willingness to meet the time and budget requirement, d. Location, e. Current and projected work load, f. Volume of previously awarded contracts, and g. Involvement of minority consultants. 6. Once a consultant is selected, the local agency enters into negotiations with the consultant to obtain a fair and reasonable price for the anticipated work. Pre-negotiation audits are prepared for contracts expected to be greater than $50,000. Federal reimbursements for costs are limited to those costs allowable under the cost principles of 48 CFR 31. Fixed fees (profit) are determined with consideration given to size, complexity, duration, and degree of risk involved in the work. Profit is in the range of six to 15 percent of the total direct and indirect costs. 7. A qualified local agency employee shall be responsible and in charge of the Work to ensure that the work being pursued is complete, accurate, and consistent with the terms, conditions, and specifications of the contract. At the end of Work, the local agency prepares a performance evaluation (a CDOT form is available) on the consultant. 8. Each of the steps listed above is to be documented in accordance with the provisions of 49 CFR 18.42, which provide for records to be kept at least three years from the date that the local agency submits its final expenditure report. Records of projects under litigation shall be kept at least three years after the case has been settled. CRS §§24-30-1401 through 24-30-1408, 23 CFR Part 172, and P.D. 400.1, provide additional details for complying with the preceeding eight (8) steps. Page 2 of 2 36.
