If satisfactory progress is being made, the contractor will receive a payment based on the amount of work 
completed. Progress payments may be made by the LPA/ Subrecipient Procurement Office to the contractor on the 
basis of an approved estimate of the work performed during a preceding period of time. The progress payments 
shall be paid on or before 14 days after the estimate of the work is approved. The estimate of the work shall be 
deemed received by the LPA/Subrecipient Procurement Office on submission to the person designated by the 
LPA/Subrecipient Procurement Office for the submission, review or approval of the estimate of the work. The 
LPA/Subrecipient Procurement Office by mutual agreement may make progress payments on contracts of less 
than 90 days and shall make monthly progress payments on all other contracts. Payment to the contractor on the 
basis of a duly certified and approved estimate of the work performed during the preceding calendar month under

Page 6 of 45 
   
 
issues a specific written finding setting forth those items in detail in the estimate of the work that are not approved 
for payment under the contract. The contractor shall work with the LPA/Subrecipient or the LPA/Subrecipient 
Designee to finalize monthly estimate. The progress payments shall be paid on or before 14 days after the 
estimate of the work is certified and approved in accordance with Arizona Revised Statutes Section 34-221.  
 
The contractor shall pay to the contractor's subcontractors or material suppliers and each subcontractor shall pay 
to the subcontractor's subcontractor or material supplier, within seven days of receipt of each progress payment 
the respectiveamounts allowed the contractor or subcontractor on account of the work performed bythe 
subcontractors, to the extent of each subcontractor's interest, except that no contract for construction services may 
materially alter the rights of any contractor, subcontractor ormaterial supplier to receive prompt and timely 
payment.  
 
A subcontractor may notify the LPA/Subrecipient Procurement Office in writing requesting that the subcontractor 
be notified by the Subrecipient Procurement Office in writing within five days from payment of each progress 
payment made to the contractor.If unsatisfactory progress has not been made on the project, MCDOT may, at its 
sole option, refuse to make progress payment(s) of such sums, which MCDOT considers necessary. This provision 
shall not limit MCDOT’s rights to terminate the Contract for default. 
 
The CONSULTANT shall not withhold the Subconsultant’s payment if MCDOT has paid the full value of services 
rendered. Failure by the CONSULTANT to invoice MCDOT in accordance with the terms of this Contract and/or 
pay its Subconsultants in accordance with the Arizona Prompt Pay Law is a material breach of this Contract.  
MCDOT reserves the right to request that Consultant provides proof of payment to its Subconsultants. 
 
The CONSULTANT shall be found to be in breach of this Contract if it executes subcontract agreements with 
Subconsultants, DBE and non-DBE, which materially change the Prompt Pay requirement.  This action may 
result in termination of the Contract, or any other such remedy as deemed appropriate by MCDOT. 
 
 SECTION V - DISPUTE ESCALATION 
 
The following dispute escalation levels shall be utilized to resolve disputes during the course of this Contract.  The 
following dispute escalation levels shall be utilized in the event the MCDOT PM, CONSULTANT PM or Contracts 
Specialist are unable to agree on the scope, level of effort, cost or any other issues related to this Contract.  It is the 
intent of the COUNTY to resolve disputes at the lowest level possible.  If agreement cannot be reached at that level, 
then the matter is escalated to the next higher level of management. Failure to agree at any level constitutes 
escalation to the next level. 
 
Failure by the CONSULTANT to utilize the escalation process shall constitute a waiver of any claims for additional 
compensation or any other relief.

4.01 Mentor-Protège Program  
  
The Department has established a Mentor-Protégé program as an initiative to encourage and develop 
disadvantaged businesses in the highway construction industry.  The program encourages prime consultants to 
provide certain types of assistance to certified DBE subconsultants.  ADOT encourages consultants and certified 
DBE subconsultants to engage in a Mentor-Protégé agreement under certain conditions.  Such an agreement must 
be mutually beneficial to both parties and to ADOT in fulfilling requirements of 49 CFR Part 23.  For guidance 
regarding this program refer to the Mentor-Protégé Program Guidelines available on the BECO website.    
  
The Mentor-Protégé program is intended to increase legitimate DBE activities and is not intended to diminish nor 
circumvent existing DBE rules or regulations.    
   
5.0  Applicability:  
  
The Department has established an overall annual goal for DBE participation on Federal-aid contracts.  The 
Department intends for the goal to be met with a combination of race conscious efforts and race neutral efforts.  
Race conscious participation occurs when the consultant uses a percentage of DBEs, as defined herein, to meet 
the contract-specified goal.  Race neutral efforts are those that are, or can be, used to assist all small businesses 
or increase opportunities for all small businesses.  The regulation, 49 CFR 26, defines race neutral as when a DBE 
wins a prime contract through customary competitive procurement procedures or is awarded a subcontract on a 
prime contract that does not carry a DBE contract goal.  
  
The consultant shall meet the goal specified herein with DBEs, or establish that it was unable to meet the goal 
despite making good faith efforts to do so.  Prime consultants are encouraged to obtain DBE participation above 
and beyond any goals that may be set for this project.  
  
The DBE provisions are applicable to all consultants including DBE consultants.  
  
6.0 Certification and Registration:  
  
6.01 DBE Certification:  
  
Certification as a DBE shall be predicated on:  
  
 (1) The completion and execution of an application for certification as a "Disadvantaged Business Enterprise."  
  
 (2) The submission of documents pertaining to the firm(s) as stated in the application(s), including but not limited 
to a statement of social disadvantage and a personal financial statement.

Contract No. 2020-006 
 
Page 24 of 45 
   
 
 (3) The submission of any additional information which the Department or the applicable Arizona Unified 
Certification (UCP) agency may require to determine the firm's eligibility to participate in the DBE program.  
  
 (4) The information obtained during the on-site visits to the offices of the firm and to active job-sites.  
  
Applications for certification may be filed online with the Department or the applicable UCP agency at any time 
through the Arizona Unified Transportation Registration and Certification System (AZ UTRACS) website at 
http://www.azutracs.com.  
  
DBE firms and firms seeking DBE certification shall cooperate fully with requests for information relevant to the 
certification process.  Failure or refusal to provide such information is a ground for denial or removal of certification.  
  
ADOT is a member of the AZ Unified Certification Program (AZUCP).  Only DBE firms that are certified by the 
AZUCP are eligible for credit on ADOT projects.  A list of DBE firms certified by AZUCP is available on the internet 
at http://www.azutracs.com.  The list will indicate contact information and specialty for each DBE firm, and may be 
sorted in a variety of ways.  However, ADOT does not guarantee the accuracy and/or completeness of this 
information, nor does ADOT represent that any licenses or registrations are appropriate for the work to be done.  
  
The Department’s certification of a DBE is not a representation of qualifications and/or abilities nor does it mean 
that a DBE firm is guaranteed or entitled to receive or be awarded a contract.  Being certified simply means that a 
firm has met the criteria for DBE certification as outlined in 49 CFR Part 26.  The consultant bears all risks of 
ensuring that DBE firms selected by the consultant are able to perform the work.  
  
6.02  SBC Registration:  
  
To comply with 49 CFR Part 26.39, ADOT’s DBE Program incorporates contracting requirements to facilitate 
participation by Small Business Concerns (SBCs) in federally assisted contracts. SBCs are for-profit businesses 
authorized to do businesses in Arizona that meet the Small Business Administration (SBA) size standards for 
average annual revenue criteria for its primary North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code  
  
While the SBC component of the DBE program does not require utilization of goals on projects, ADOT and the 
LPA/Subrecipient strongly encourages consultants to utilize small businesses that are registered in AZ UTRACS 
on their contracts, in addition to DBEs meeting the certification requirement. The consultant may use the AZ 
UTRACS website to search for certified DBEs and registered SBCs that can be used on the contract.  However, 
SBCs that are not DBEs will not be counted toward the DBE contract goal.  
  
SBCs can register online at the AZ UTRACS website.   
  
The Department’s registration of SBCs is not a representation of qualifications and/or abilities nor does it mean that 
an SBC firm is guaranteed or entitled to receive or be awarded a contract.  Being SBC registered simply means 
that a firm has met the criteria for SBC registration as outlined in 49 CFR Part 26.  The consultant bears all risks of 
ensuring that SBC firms selected by the consultant are able to perform the work.  
  
7.0  DBE Financial Institutions:  
  
The Department thoroughly investigates the full extent of services offered by financial institutions owned and 
controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in its service area and makes reasonable efforts 
to use these institutions. The Department encourages prime consultants to use such institutions on USDOT 
DocuSign Envelope ID: 63377C47-9FC0-444D-949B-D58206E5B989

Contract No. 2020-006 
 
Page 25 of 45 
   
 
assisted contracts.  However, use of DBE financial institutions will not be counted toward the DBE contract goal.  
 
The Department and the LPA/Subrecipient encourages prime consultants to research the Federal Reserve Board 
website at www.federalreserve.gov to identify minority-owned banks in Arizona derived from the Consolidated 
Reports of Condition and Income filed quarterly by banks (FFIEC 031 and 041) and from other information on the 
Board’s National Information Center database.   
  
8.0  Time is of the Essence:  
  
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE IN RESPECT TO THE DBE PROVISIONS  
  
9.0   Computation of Time:  
  
In computing any period of time described in this DBE special provision, such as calendar days, the day from 
which the period begins to run is not counted, and when the last day of the period is a Saturday, Sunday, Federal 
or State holiday, the period extends to the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, Federal or State holiday. In 
circumstances where the LPA/Subrecipient Procurement Office is closed for all or part of the last day, the period 
extends to the next day on which the LPA / Subrecipient Procurement Office is open.  
  
10.0  Consultant and Subconsultant Requirements:   
  
10.01  General:  
  
The consultant shall establish a DBE program that will ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of 
contracts and subcontracts.  
  
Agreements between the proposer and a DBE in which the DBE promises not to provide subcontracting quotations 
to other proposers are prohibited.  
  
10.02  DBE Liaison:  
  
The consultant shall designate a DBE Liaison responsible for the administration of the consultant’s DBE program.  
The name of the designated DBE Liaison shall be included on the DBE Intended Participation Affidavit Summary.   
    
11.0  DBE Goal:  
  
The minimum goal for participation by DBEs on this project is as follows:  
  
3.60 Percent  
  
The percentage of DBE participation shall be based on the total dollar value of the contract.  
  
Proposers are strongly encouraged to secure and include sufficient DBE firms on their team for multiple disciplines 
and work categories to ensure they can meet the DBE goal on the contract and for any Contract Modifications that 
are executed post-award. The DBE goal requirements extend to additional dollars added by Contract Modification 
to help ensure that the overall DBE goal is met on the contract. Indicating there is no DBE firm on a prime 
proposer’s team to meet the DBE goal on Contract Modifications does not meet the criteria for Good Faith Efforts 
in 49 CFR 26.53, and will not be accepted by the Department as Good Faith Efforts when Contract Modifications 
DocuSign Envelope ID: 63377C47-9FC0-444D-949B-D58206E5B989

Contract No. 2020-006

are issued. Since proposers have been notified of the DBE goal prior to the submittal of their Statement of 
Qualifications (SOQ) they are required to do their due diligence to secure enough DBE participation to meet the 
goal or make good faith efforts on the contract and each subsequent Contract Modification. Firms will be required 
to locate DBEs to meet the goal on each Contract Modification even if these DBEs were not originally included as 
part of their team, if the LPA/Subrecipient , with BECO concurrence, determines there are qualified DBEs available 
to complete portions of the work of the Contract Modification.   
  
12.0  Submission with SOQ Proposals:  
  
12.01  DBE Assurance/Goal Declaration   
  
In order to be awarded this contract, in addition to all other pre-award requirements, all proposers are required to 
certify on the DBE Assurance Project Specific form provided by the LPA/Subrecipient that:  
  
The proposer will meet the established DBE goal or will make good faith efforts to meet the goal and that 
arrangements with certified DBEs have been made prior to the SOQ and/or cost proposal submission.  
  
Failure to affirmatively make this declaration/certification in the manner outlined in the Request for Qualifications 
(RFQ) furnished by the LPA/Subrecipient will cause a Proposer’s SOQ to be considered non-responsive.  
  
12.02     Bidders/Proposers List and AZ UTRACS Registration Requirement:  
  
Under Title 49 CFR of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 26.11, DOTs are required to collect certain 
information from all consultants and subconsultants who seek to work on federally-assisted contracts in order to 
set overall and contract DBE goals. ADOT collects this information when firms register their companies on the 
Arizona Unified Transportation Registration and Certification System (AZ UTRACS) web portal at 
http://www.azutracs.com/ a centralized database for companies that seek to do business with ADOT. This 
information will be maintained as confidential to the extent allowed by federal and state law.  
  
Prime consultants and all subconsultants, including DBEs listed in the SOQ must be registered in AZ UTRACS.  
Proposers may verify that their firm and each subconsultant is registered using the AZ UTRACS website.   
  
Proposers may obtain additional information at the AZ UTRACS website or by contacting the LPA/Subrecipient.  
 
All proposers shall create a Bidders/Proposers list in the AZ UTRACS by selecting all firms, service providers, and 
vendors that expressed interest or submitted proposals or quotes for this contract. The Bidders/Proposers List form 
must be complete and must include the names for all subconsultants, service providers, and vendors that 
submitted proposals or quotes on this project regardless of the proposer’s intentions to use the those firms on the 
project.   
  
All proposers must complete and submit the Bidders/Proposers List online at AZ UTRACS prior to Cost Proposal 
submittal. A confirmation email will be generated by the system. This email confirmation shall be submitted with the 
Cost Proposal.    
  
FAILURE TO SUBMIT THE REQUIRED BIDDERS/PROPOSERS LIST CONFIRMATION EMAIL WITH THE 
COST PROPOSAL BY THE STATED TIME AND IN THE MANNER HEREIN SPECIFIED AND AS OUTLINED IN 
THE RFQ SHALL BE CAUSE FOR THE PROPOSER’S COST PROPOSAL TO BE REJECTED.

13. 0   DBE Cost Proposal Submissions:  
  
13.01   DBE Intended Participation Affidavits:  
  
If the proposer indicates in the Cost Proposal submittal that it has met or exceeded the DBE goal, a DBE Intended 
Participation Affidavit form for each DBE firm, and the DBE Intended Participation Affidavit Summary form shall be 
submitted to the LPA/Subrecipient Procurement Office with each Cost Proposal as follows:  
  
 (1) The DBE Intended Participation Affidavit Form must be submitted for each individual DBE firm at all tiers, 
including direct expense vendors, that is being proposed to be used to meet the DBE goal on the project.  A copy 
of this form is available from the LPA/Subrecipient.    
  
 (2) The DBE Intended Participation Affidavit Summary Form must be completed by the consultant summarizing 
information about all DBEs being proposed to meet the DBE goal that are listed on each DBE Intended 
Participation Affidavit Form. The DBE Intended Participation Affidavit Summary Form, along with the DBE Intended 
Participation Affidavit form for each individual DBE firm, must be submitted together with the Cost Proposal to the 
LPA/Subrecipient Procurement Office All forms must be accurate and complete in every detail and must be signed 
by an officer of the consultant(s). Percentages and dollar amounts must be accurate. Percentages shall be listed to 
two decimal places. The DBE Intended Participation Affidavit Summary must be submitted listing all the DBEs 
intended to be used and the creditable amounts. Copies of these forms are available from the LPA/Subrecipient.  
  
 (3) The DBE Intended Participation Affidavits Forms and the DBE Intended Participation Affidavit Summary Form 
must be submitted with the original cost proposal documents.  The same documents must be submitted as part of 
the contract modification documentation submittals reflecting any change in the contract amount associated with 
the contract modification.  
  
 (4) A proposer must determine DBE credit for the contract in accordance with DBE Special Provision Subsection 
17.0 Crediting DBE Participation Toward Meeting Goals.  The affidavits will be reviewed by the LPA/Subrecipient.  
  
(5) Only those DBE firms certified by the Arizona Unified Certification Program (AZUCP) at the time of the Cost 
Proposal submittal will be considered for DBE credit. It shall be the proposer’s responsibility to ascertain the 
certification status of designated DBEs.  
  
 (6) All DBE commitment amounts must be finalized between the DBE subconsultant and the proposer prior to 
affidavit submittal.  Proposers shall not inflate DBE awards in order to meet contract goals.  Reduction of DBE 
commitments after affidavit submittal and prior to execution of the contract without good cause may be grounds for 
the proposer to be considered nonresponsive.  Scheduling conflicts are not necessarily evidence of good cause as 
this should have been considered prior to affidavit submittal.  Proposers are required to use DBEs identified in both 
the SOQ and Cost Proposal to meet the contract goal, so the consultant is responsible for ensuring the DBEs listed 
in the SOQ and submitted with the Cost Proposal are available to meet those requirements at the time of contract 
execution.  
  
 (7) Cost proposals without affidavits shall be considered incomplete and contract negotiations shall not be 
finalized nor will the contract be executed until affidavits are submitted and approved.  
  
14.0  Documented Good Faith Effort:  
  
14.01  General:  
DocuSign Envelope ID: 63377C47-9FC0-444D-949B-D58206E5B989

Contract No. 2020-006 
 
Page 28 of 45 
   
 
  
If the selected proposer has indicated in its cost proposal submittal that it will be unable to meet the DBE goal, that 
proposer must demonstrate, through detailed and comprehensive documentation, that good faith efforts have been 
made to solicit, assist, and use DBE firms to meet the DBE goal prior to submission of the SOQ and cost proposal.  
  
Failure to demonstrate good faith efforts to the satisfaction of LPA/Subrecipient with concurrence of BECO will 
result in denying the award and moving to the next second highest ranked proposer.  
  
The selected proposer who cannot meet the DBE goal at the time the cost proposal is due must submit its 
documentation of good faith efforts to the LPA/Subrecipient with the cost proposal.  Contract negotiations will not 
be finalized nor will the contract be executed until the required Good Faith Effort forms and required documentation 
are received and approved.  
  
The documentation of good faith efforts must include copies of each DBE and non-DBE subconsultant quotes 
submitted to the proposer when a non-DBE subconsultant was selected over a DBE for work on the contract. A 
generalized assertion that the consultant received multiple quotes is not sufficient unless copies of those quotes 
are provided.  
  
Proposers are encouraged to review Appendix A of 49 CFR Part 26.    
  
Useful information related to encouraging DBE participation and documented good faith efforts can be found in the 
“Good Faith Effort Guide” and other documents made available on the BECO website.  The information provided in 
the “Good Faith Effort Guide” does not replace this specification; proposers must comply with the requirements of 
this specification.  
  
In order to be awarded a contract on the basis of good faith efforts, a proposer must show that it took all necessary 
and reasonable steps to achieve the DBE goal, which, by their scope, intensity, and appropriateness to the 
objective, could reasonably be expected to obtain sufficient DBE participation, even if they were not fully 
successful.  The quality, quantity, and intensity of the different kinds of efforts the proposer has made will be 
evaluated.  The efforts employed by the proposer should be those that one could reasonably expect a proposer to 
make if the proposer were actively and aggressively trying to obtain DBE participation sufficient to meet the DBE 
goal.  Mere pro forma efforts are not sufficient good faith efforts to meet the DBE contract requirements.  
  
The proposer shall, as a minimum, seek DBEs in the same geographic area in which it generally seeks 
subconsultants for a given project.  If the proposer cannot meet the goals using DBEs from this geographic area, 
the proposer, as part of its effort to meet the goals, shall expand its search to a reasonably wider geographic area.  
  
The following is a list of types of efforts a proposer must address when submitting good faith effort documentation.  
  
 (1) Contacting the LPA/Subrecipient and BECO prior to the submission of proposals, either by e-mail, or by 
telephone, to inform of the firm’s difficulty in meeting the DBE goals on a given project, and requesting assistance.  
The proposer must document its contact with the LPA/Subrecipient and BECO, and indicate the type of contact, 
the date and time of the contact, the name of the person(s) contacted, and any details related to the 
communication.  The contact must be made in sufficient time before proposal submission to allow the 
LPA/Subrecipient and BECO to provide effective assistance.  The proposer will not be considered to have made 
good faith efforts if the proposer failed to contact the LPA/Subrecipient and BECO.  
  
 (2) Conducting market research to identify small business consultants and suppliers, and soliciting, through all 
DocuSign Envelope ID: 63377C47-9FC0-444D-949B-D58206E5B989

Contract No. 2020-006 
 
Page 29 of 45 
   
 
reasonable and available means, the interest of all certified DBEs who have the capability to perform the work of 
the contract.  This may include attendance at pre-proposal meetings and business matchmaking meetings and 
events, advertising and/or providing written notices, posting of “Notices of Sources Sought” and/or “Requests for 
Proposals” at reasonable locations, including the consultant’s website, written notices or emails to all DBEs listed 
in the Department’s directory of transportation firms that specialize in areas of work desired (as noted in the DBE 
directory) and which are located in the area or surrounding areas of the project.  The proposer should solicit this 
interest as early in the acquisition process as practicable to allow DBEs to respond to the solicitation and submit a 
timely offer for the subcontract.  The proposer should determine with certainty if DBEs are interested by taking 
appropriate steps to follow-up initial solicitations.  
  
 (3) Selecting portions of the work to be performed by DBEs in order to increase the likelihood that the DBE goal 
will be achieved.  This includes, where appropriate, breaking out contract work items into economically feasible 
units (for example smaller tasks or quantities) to facilitate DBE participation, even when the prime consultant might 
otherwise prefer to perform these work items with its own forces.  This may include, where possible, establishing 
flexible time frames for performance and delivery schedules in a manner that encourages and facilitates DBE 
participation.   
  
 (4) Providing interested DBEs with adequate information about the plans, specifications, and requirements of the 
contract in a timely manner to assist them in responding to a solicitation with their offer for a subcontract.  
  
 (5) Negotiating in good faith with interested DBEs.  It is the proposer’s responsibility to make a portion of the work 
available to the DBE subconsultants and suppliers, and to select those portions of work or material needs 
consistent with the available DBE subconsultants and suppliers, so as to facilitate DBE participation.  Evidence of 
such negotiation includes the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of DBEs that were considered; a 
description of the information provided from the plans and specifications for the work selected for subcontracting; 
and evidence as to why additional agreements could not be reached for DBEs to perform work.  
  
Pro forma mailings to DBEs requesting proposals are not alone sufficient to constitute good faith negotiation.  
  
A proposer using good business judgment would consider a number of factors in negotiating with subconsultants, 
including DBE subconsultants, and would take a firm’s price and capabilities as well as contract goals into 
consideration.  However, the fact that there may be some additional costs involved in finding and using DBEs is not 
in itself sufficient reason for a proposer’s failure to meet the DBE goal, as long as such costs are reasonable.  Also, 
the ability or desire of a prime consultant to perform the work of a contract with its own organization does not 
relieve the proposer of the responsibility to make good faith efforts.  However, prime consultants are not required to 
accept higher quotes from DBEs if the price difference is excessive or unreasonable.  Documentation, such as 
copies of all other proposals or quotes, must be submitted.  
  
Another practice considered an insufficient good faith effort is the rejection of the DBE because its quotation for the 
work was not the lowest received.  The consultant must submit copies of each DBE and non-DBE subconsultant 
quote submitted to the proposer when a non-DBE subconsultant was selected over a DBE for work on the contract.  
The Department may contact rejected DBEs as part of its investigation.  However, nothing in this paragraph shall 
be construed to require the proposer or prime consultant to accept unreasonable quotes in order to satisfy contract 
goals.  
  
 (6) Not rejecting DBEs as being unqualified without sound reasons based on a thorough investigation of their 
capabilities.  The consultant’s standing within its industry, membership in specific groups, organizations or 
associations and political or social affiliations (for example, union vs. non-union employee status) are not legitimate

Contract No. 2020-006 
 
Page 30 of 45 
   
 
causes for the rejection or non-solicitation of proposals in the consultant’s efforts to meet the project goal.  
Consultant must submit documentation of past performance and with input from the PM, consultant’s qualifications 
are then reviewed for acceptance and approval.  
  
 (7) Making efforts to assist interested DBEs in obtaining bonding, lines of credit, or insurance as required by the 
recipient or consultant.  
  
 (8) Making efforts to assist interested DBEs in obtaining necessary equipment, supplies, materials, or related 
assistance or services.  
  
 (9) Effectively using the services of available minority/women community organizations; minority/women 
consultants’ groups; local, state, and Federal minority/women business assistance offices; and other organizations 
as allowed on a case-by-case basis to provide assistance in the recruitment and placement of DBEs.  
  
In determining whether a proposer has made good faith efforts, the LPA/Subrecipient will review the documented 
efforts of the consultant and will review the performance of other proposers in meeting the contract goal.  
  
A promise to use DBEs after contract award is not considered to be responsive to the contract solicitation or to 
constitute good faith efforts.  
  
The LPA/Subrecipient will evaluate the submittal and  make a determination, with BECO concurrence, whether in 
fact good faith efforts have been demonstrated consistent with the specifications and the Federal regulations, 49 
CFR 26, Appendix A.  
  
14.02  Protest for Denied Good Faith Efforts:  
  
If the LPA/Subrecipient, with BECO concurrence, determines that the proposer failed to make adequate good faith 
efforts, the proposer may protest the determination by submitting an appeal in writing to the ADOT State Engineer.  
The decision of the ADOT State Engineer is administratively final.       
  
The proposer whose proposal was rejected for failure to meet the goal or make GFE will be given the opportunity 
to meet in person with the State Engineer, at the proposer’s written request included in the protest, to discuss the 
issue of whether it met the goal or made adequate good faith efforts to do so. The State Engineer shall promptly 
consider any appeals and notify the LPA/Subrecipient and all proposers in writing on its findings and decision.   
  
In accordance with 49 CFR 26.53(d)(5), the result of the protest decision is not subject to administrative appeal to 
the USDOT.  
  
15.0  Rejection of Proposal:  
  
If, for any reason, the proposer’s GFE is rejected or contract negotiations fail, the LPA/Subrecipient will proceed 
with negotiating with the second highest ranked firm.  The LPA/Subrecipient, will notify the second highest ranked 
firm, and this firm shall submit its subsequent detailed submission as set forth in the DBE Subsections 13 or 14.  
  
16.0  Payment Reporting:  
  
The consultant shall report on a monthly basis indicating the amounts paid to all subconsultants, of all tiers, 
working on the project.  Reporting shall be in accordance with Prompt Pay and Payment Reporting requirements

Attachment 1 of the contract specifications.  
  
17.0  Crediting DBE Participation Toward Meeting Goals:  
  
17.01  General Requirements:  
  
To count toward meeting the goal, the DBE firms must be certified at the time of Cost Proposal submission in each 
NAICS code applicable to the kind of work the firm will perform on the contract. NAICS for each DBE can be found 
on the AZ UTRACS website. General descriptions of all NAICS codes can be found at 
http://www.naics.com/search/.   
  
Credit towards the consultant’s DBE goal is given only after the DBE has been paid for the work performed.  
  
The entire amount of a contract that is performed by the DBE’s own forces, including the cost of supplies and 
materials purchased by the DBE for the work on the contract and equipment leased by the DBE will be credited 
toward DBE participation. Supplies and equipment the DBE subconsultant purchases or leases from the prime 
consultant or its affiliate will not be credited toward DBE participation.  
  
The consultant bears the responsibility to determine whether the DBE possesses the proper consultant’s license(s) 
to perform the work and, if DBE credit is requested, that the DBE subconsultant is certified for the requested type 
of work.  
  
If a DBE cannot complete its work due to failure to obtain or maintain its licensing, the consultant bears the 
responsibility to notify the LPA/Subrecipient, immediately after the consultant becomes aware of the situation, and 
request approval to replace the DBE with another DBE. The consultant shall follow the DBE 
termination/substitution requirements described in Subsection 22.0 of these DBE provisions.  
  
The Department’s certification is not a representation of a DBE’s qualifications and/or abilities.  The consultant 
bears all risks that the DBE may not be able to perform its work for any reason.  
 
A DBE may participate as a prime consultant, subconsultant, or as a vendor of materials or supplies.  The dollar 
amount of work to be accomplished by DBEs, including partial amount of a lump sum or other similar item, shall be 
on the basis of subcontract, purchase order, hourly rate, rate per ton, etc., as agreed to between parties.  
  
DBE credit may be obtained only for specific work done for the project, supply of equipment specifically for physical 
work on the project, or supply of materials to be incorporated in the work.  DBE credit will not be allowed for costs 
such as overhead items, capital expenditures (for example, purchase of equipment), and office items.  
  
The consultant may credit second-tier subcontracts issued to DBEs by non-DBE subconsultants.  Any second-tier 
subcontract to a DBE used to meet the goal must meet the requirements of a first-tier DBE subcontract.  
  
A prime consultant may credit the entire amount of that portion of a contract that is performed by the DBE’s own 
forces.  The cost of supplies and materials obtained by the DBE for the work of the contract can be included so 
long as that cost is reasonable.  Leased equipment may also be included.  No credit is permitted for supplies 
purchased or equipment leased from the prime consultant or its affiliate(s).  
  
When a DBE subcontracts a part of the work of its contract to another firm, the value of the subcontract may be 
credited towards the DBE goal only if the DBE’s subconsultant is itself a DBE and performs the work with its own 
DocuSign Envelope ID: 63377C47-9FC0-444D-949B-D58206E5B989

Contract No. 2020-006 
 
Page 32 of 45 
   
 
forces.  Work that a DBE subcontracts to a non-DBE firm does not count toward a DBE goal.  
  
A prime consultant may credit the entire amount of fees or commissions charged by a DBE firm for providing a 
bona fide service, such as professional, technical, consulting, or managerial services, or for providing bonds or 
insurance specifically required for the performance of a USDOT-assisted contract, provided the fees are 
reasonable and not excessive as compared with fees customarily allowed for similar services.  
  
17.02  DBE Prime Consultant:  
  
When a certified DBE firm proposes on a contract that contains a DBE goal, the DBE firm is responsible for 
meeting the DBE goal on the contract or making good faith efforts to meet the goal, just like any other proposer. In 
most cases, a DBE proposer on a contract will meet the DBE goal by virtue of the work it performs on the contract 
with its own forces. However, all the work that is performed by the DBE proposer or any other DBE subconsultants 
and DBE suppliers will count toward the DBE goal. The DBE proposer shall list itself along with any DBE 
subconsultants and suppliers, on the DBE Intended Participation Affidavit Individual and Summary in order to 
receive credit toward the DBE goal.   
  
 
 
17.03  Effect of Loss of DBE Eligibility:  
  
If a DBE is deemed ineligible (decertified) or suspended in accordance with 49 CFR 26.87 and 26.88, the DBE 
may not be considered to meet a contract goal on a new contract, but may be considered to meet the contract goal 
under a subcontract that was executed before the DBE suspension or decertification is effective.  
When the consultant makes a commitment to use an ineligible DBE firm or the LPA/Subrecipient, made a 
commitment to use an ineligible DBE prime consultant, but a subcontract or contract has not been executed before 
a decertification notice is issued to the DBE firm by its certifying agency, the ineligible firm does not count toward 
the contract goal. The consultant must meet the contract goal with an eligible DBE firm or demonstrate good faith 
effort. When a subcontract is executed with the DBE firm before the Department notified the firm of its ineligibility, 
the consultant may continue to use the firm on the contract and may continue to receive credit toward the DBE 
goal for the firm’s work.  
  
17.04   Notifying the Consultant of DBE Certification Status:  
  
Each DBE contract at any tier shall require any DBE subconsultant or supplier that is either decertified or certified 
during the term of the contract to immediately notify the consultant and all parties to the DBE contract in writing, 
with the date of decertification or certification. The consultant shall require that this provision be incorporated in any 
contract of any tier in which a DBE is a participant.  
  
17.05  Police Officers:  
  
DBE credit will not be permitted for procuring DPS officers.  For projects on which officers from other agencies are 
supplied, DBE credit will be given only for the broker fees charged, and will not include amounts paid to the 
officers.  The broker fees must be reasonable.  
  
17.06  Commercially Useful Function:  
  
A prime consultant can credit expenditures to a DBE subconsultant toward DBE goals only if the DBE performs a 
DocuSign Envelope ID: 63377C47-9FC0-444D-949B-D58206E5B989

Contract No. 2020-006 
 
Page 33 of 45 
   
 
Commercially Useful Function (CUF).  
  
A DBE performs a CUF when it is responsible for execution of the work of a contract and carries out its 
responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved.  To perform a commercially 
useful function, the DBE must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies on the contract, for 
negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material, and installing (where applicable) and 
paying for the material itself that it uses on the project.  To determine whether a DBE is performing a commercially 
useful function, the LPA/Subrecipient will evaluate the amount of work subcontracted, industry practices, whether 
the amount the firm is to be paid under the contract is commensurate with the work it is actually performing and the 
DBE credit claimed for its performance of the work, and other relevant factors.  
  
A DBE will not be considered to perform a commercially useful function if its role is limited to that of an extra 
participant in a transaction, contract, or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance 
of DBE participation.  In determining whether a DBE is such an extra participant, the LPA/Subrecipient will examine 
similar transactions, particularly those in which DBEs do not participate.  
  
If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least 30 percent of the total cost of its contract with its 
own work force, or if the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of a contract than would be expected on 
the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, LPA/Subrecipient will presume that the DBE is 
not performing a commercially useful function.  
  
When a DBE is presumed not to be performing a commercially useful function as provided above, the DBE may 
present evidence to rebut this presumption.  The Department will determine if the firm is performing a CUF given 
the type of work involved and normal industry practices.  
  
The LPA/Subrecipient will notify the consultant, in writing, if it determines that the consultant’s DBE subconsultant 
is not performing a CUF.  The consultant will be notified within seven calendar days of the LPA/Subrecipient’s 
decision.  
  
Decisions on CUF may be appealed to the ADOT BECO.  The appeal must be in writing and personally delivered 
or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the ADOT BECO.  The appeal must be received by ADOT 
BECO no later than seven calendar days after the LPA/Subrecipient’s decision.  LPA/Subrecipient’s decision 
remains in place unless and until the ADOT BECO reverses or modifies LPA/Subrecipient’s decision. ADOT BECO 
will promptly consider any appeals under this subsection and notify the consultant of the ADOT BECO findings and 
decisions.  Decisions on CUF matters are not administratively appealable to USDOT.  
  
The LPA/Subrecipient may conduct project site visits on the contract to confirm that DBEs are performing a CUF. 
The consultant shall cooperate during the site visits and the LPA/Subrecipient staff will make every effort not to 
disrupt work on the project.  
  
18.0   Effect of Contract Changes:  
  
The consultant acknowledges that uncertainties can occur during the performance of the work and if for any reason 
it becomes apparent that the DBE goal will not be met then the consultant shall:  (1) immediately notify the 
LPA/Subrecipient of the potential or actual decrease in DBE compensation, and (2) make good faith efforts to 
obtain DBE participation to meet or exceed the project DBE goal. Good faith efforts required under the provisions 
of this section may vary, depending on the time available, the nature of the change, and other factors as 
determined by LPA/Subrecipient.  
DocuSign Envelope ID: 63377C47-9FC0-444D-949B-D58206E5B989

Contract No. 2020-006 
 
Page 34 of 45 
   
 
  
LPA/Subrecipient will approve or deny the consultant’s good faith efforts with BECO concurrence.   
  
The consultant is not required to take work committed to another subconsultant and assign it to a DBE 
subconsultant in order to meet the committed DBE percentage.  
  
If the resulting change increases the scope or quantity of work being done by a DBE subconsultant, the DBE shall 
be given the opportunity to complete the additional work and receive additional compensation beyond their original 
subcontract amount.  
  
19.0   DBE Participation Above the Goal (Race-Neutral Participation):  
  
Additional DBE participation above the DBE participation required to meet the contract DBE goal is an important 
aspect of the Department’s DBE program. The consultant is strongly encouraged to use additional DBEs above the 
DBE goal requirement in the contract to assist the Department in meeting its overall DBE goal and help the 
Department to meet the maximum feasible portion of its DBE goals through race neutral participation as outlined in 
49 CFR Part 26.  
  
There are fewer administrative requirements on the part of the consultant when using race neutral DBEs (DBEs not 
listed on the DBE Intended Participation Affidavit Summary). For example, if a DBE is not listed on the DBE 
Intended Participation Affidavit Summary, the DBE does not have to submit an Affidavit, and the subcontract 
approval process follows the same process of any other subcontract. The consultant does not have to replace the 
DBE with another DBE subconsultant if the DBE fails to perform. Therefore these DBEs are treated as any other 
subconsultant on the project.  
  
20.0  Required Provisions for DBE Subcontracts:  
  
All subcontracts of any tier, all supply contracts, and any other contracts in which a DBE is a participant shall 
include as a physical attachment, DBE Subconsultant Compliance Assurances available from the 
LPA/Subrecipient and all of the Uniform Terms and Conditions set forth in other sections of this contract.  
  
Consultants executing agreements with subconsultants, DBE or non-DBE, that materially modify federal regulation 
and state statutes such as, prompt payment and retention requirements, through subcontract terms and conditions 
will be found in breach of contract which may result in termination of the contract, or any other such remedy as the 
LPA/Subrecipient and ADOT deem appropriate as outlined in DBE Subsection 2.0.  
  
The LPA/Subrecipient reserves the right to conduct random reviews of DBE and non-DBE subcontract 
documentation to ensure compliance with federal requirements.  
  
The consultant shall ensure that all subcontracts or agreements with DBEs to supply labor or materials require that 
the subcontract and all lower tier subcontracts be performed in accordance with 49 CFR Part 26 provisions.  
  
The Consultant shall provide electronic copies of signed subcontract agreements for all DBE Subconsultants listed 
on the DBE Intended Participation Affidavit Summary by uploading them within 15 calendar days of an approved 
contract to the LPA DBE System.    
  
21.0  Contract Performance:

Contract No. 2020-006 
 
Page 35 of 45 
   
 
Contract items of work designated by the consultant to be awarded to DBEs shall be performed by the designated 
DBE or a LPA/Subrecipient, with BECO concurrence, approved DBE substitute.  The Consultant or a non-DBE 
Subconsultant shall not perform DBE contract work items without prior approval by LPA/Subrecipient, with BECO 
concurrence. The DBE must perform a commercially useful function; that is, the DBE must manage, perform, and 
supervise a distinct element of work.  
  
The consultant is required to use DBEs identified in the SOQ to meet the contract goal, so the prime consultant is 
responsible for ensuring that the DBEs are available to meet scheduling, work and other requirements on the 
contract.   
  
The LPA/Subrecipient will visit the consultant’s office to conduct reviews to ensure compliance with CUF and other 
DBE requirements.  The reviews may include, among other activities, interview of DBEs and their employees and 
the consultant and its employees.  The consultant shall cooperate in the review and make its employees available.  
The consultant shall inform the LPA/Subrecipient in advance when each DBE will be working on the project to help 
facilitate reviews.  
  
The LPA/Subrecipient reserves the right to request and inspect all records of the consultant and all records of the 
DBEs and non-DBE subconsultants concerning this contract.  The consultant must make available a copy of all 
documents related to all contracts the LPA/Subrecipient upon request.  
  
Use of every DBE listed on the DBE Intended Participation Affidavit Summary is a condition of this contract. The 
consultant shall utilize the specific DBEs listed to perform the work and supply the materials for which each is listed 
on the DBE Intended Participation Affidavit Summary unless the consultant obtains written consent from the 
LPA/Subrecipient with BECO concurrence. The consultant shall not be entitled to any payment for work or material 
that is not performed or supplied by the listed DBE unless the consultant obtains written consent from the 
LPA/Subrecipient with BECO concurrence.  
  
22.0  DBE Termination/Substitution:  
  
22.01  General Requirements:  
  
The consultant shall make all reasonable efforts to avoid terminating or substituting a DBE listed on the DBE 
Intended Participation Affidavit Summary. At a minimum, the consultant shall negotiate in good faith, give timely 
notices and/or extend deadlines to the extent that it will not jeopardize the contract with the LPA/Subrecipient. 
Reasonable methods to resolve performance disputes must be applied and documentation provided to the 
LPA/Subrecipient before attempting to substitute or terminate a DBE.  
  
22.02  Consultant Notice of Termination/Substitution:  
  
All terminations, substitutions, and reductions in scope of work to be performed by DBEs listed on the DBE 
Intended Participation Affidavit Summary must be approved in writing by the LPA/Subrecipient, with BECO 
concurrence and by means of the executed contract modification. The consultant shall contact the 
LPA/Subrecipient within 24 hours from the first sign of any reason for potential DBE termination/substitution.  
  
The consultant shall not terminate a DBE subconsultant listed on the DBE Intended Participation Affidavit 
Summary or complete the work contracted to the DBE with its own forces or with a non-DBE firm without the 
LPA/Subrecipient written consent and BECO concurrence. Before submitting a formal request to the 
LPA/Subrecipient for DBE termination/substitution, the consultant shall give written notice to the DBE 
DocuSign Envelope ID: 63377C47-9FC0-444D-949B-D58206E5B989

Contract No. 2020-006 
 
Page 36 of 45 
   
 
subconsultant with a copy to the LPA/Subrecipient of its intent to terminate or substitute the DBE identifying the 
reason for the action.  The DBE shall be allowed a minimum of five calendar days to respond to the consultant’s 
notice advising the consultant, the LPA/Subrecipient of its position. Before making a determination for approval 
regarding the consultant’s termination and substitution request, the LPA/Subrecipient, with BECO concurrence, will 
consider both the consultant’s request and the DBE firm’s response.  
  
22.03  Consultant Request of Termination/Substitution:   
  
The consultant shall formally request the termination or substitution of a DBE listed on the DBE Intended 
Participation Affidavit Summary by submitting the DBE Termination/Substitution Request Form and supporting 
documentation to the LPA/Subrecipient; form is available from the LPA/Subrecipient. The submission shall include 
the following information:  
  
1) The date the consultant determined the DBE to be unwilling, unable or ineligible to perform.  
2) A brief statement of facts describing the situation and citing specific actions or inaction by the DBE firm giving 
rise to consultant’s assertion that the DBE firm is unwilling, unable, or ineligible to perform.  
3) A brief statement of the good faith efforts undertaken by the consultant to enable the DBE firm to perform.  
4) The total dollar amount currently paid for work performed by the DBE firm.  
5) The total dollar amount remaining to be paid to the DBE firm for work completed, but for which the DBE firm has 
not received payment, and over which the consultant and the DBE firm have no dispute.   
6) The remaining work that has not been completed by the DBE and the corresponding dollar amount  
7) The projected date that the consultant requires a substitution or replacement DBE to commence work, if consent 
is granted to the request.  
 
  
Written consent for terminating the performance of any DBE listed on the DBE Intended Participation Affidavit 
Summary will be granted only where the consultant can demonstrate good cause showing that the DBE is unable, 
unwilling, or ineligible to perform. Such written consent to terminate any DBE shall concurrently constitute written 
consent to substitute or replace the terminated DBE. Termination or substitution of a DBE listed on the DBE 
Intended Participation Summary will not be allowed based solely on a consultant's ability to negotiate a more 
advantageous contract with another subconsultant.  Prior to making a determination for approval regarding the 
consultant’s termination and substitution request, the LPA/Subrecipient, with BECO concurrence, will consider both 
the consultant’s request and the DBE firm’s response.  
  
Any requests for substitutions or terminations of DBEs shall be made on the forms provided by LPA/Subrecipient.  
  
22.04  Good Cause:   
  
The LPA/Subrecipient, with BECO concurrence, will make the determination of good cause by providing written 
consent to the consultant after evaluating the consultant’s good cause to terminate or substitute a DBE firm. Good 
cause for this purpose includes the following in relation to the listed DBE subconsultant:  
  
1. Fails or refuses to execute a written contract.  
2. Fails or refuses to perform the work of its subcontract in a way consistent with normal industry practice 
standards. However, good cause does not exist if the failure or refusal of the DBE subconsultant to perform its 
work on the subcontract results from the bad faith or discriminatory action of the prime consultant.  
3. Fails or refuses to meet the prime consultant’s reasonable, nondiscriminatory insurance/bond requirements.  
4. Becomes bankrupt, insolvent, or exhibits credit unworthiness.  
DocuSign Envelope ID: 63377C47-9FC0-444D-949B-D58206E5B989

Contract No. 2020-006 
 
Page 37 of 45 
   
 
5. Is ineligible to work on public works projects because of suspension and debarment proceedings pursuant to 
federal or state law.  
6. Is not a responsible consultant.  
7. Voluntarily withdraws from the project and provides written notice of its withdrawal to the LPA/Subrecipient.  
8. 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 firm is unable to complete its work on the 
contract.  
10. Other documented good cause that the LPA/Subrecipient determines compels the termination or substitution of 
the DBE subconsultant.  
 
  
If good cause is determined, the LPA/Subrecipient and will notify the Consultant of the decision and necessary 
modifications to the contract can be made.  
  
22.05  DBE Replacement Good Faith Effort:   
  
If the LPA/Subrecipient, with BECO concurrence, approves the termination of a DBE, the consultant shall make 
good faith efforts to find another DBE subconsultant to substitute for the original DBE. The good faith efforts as 
identified in DBE Subsection 17.0 shall be directed at finding another DBE to perform at least the same amount of 
work under the contract as the DBE that was terminated, to the extent needed to meet the contract goal. The good 
faith efforts shall be documented and provided, upon request, to the LPA/Subrecipient within seven calendar days 
from the date of the request.   
  
A prime consultant’s inability to find a replacement DBE at the original price is not alone sufficient to support a 
finding that good faith efforts have been made to replace the original DBE. The fact that the consultant has the 
ability and/or desire to perform the contract work with its own forces does not relieve the consultant of the 
obligation to make good faith efforts to find the replacement DBE, and it is not a sound basis for rejecting a 
perspective replacement DBE’s reasonable quote.  
  
The termination of a DBE firm shall not relieve the consultant of its obligations under this Special Provision, and the 
unpaid portion of the terminated DBE firm’s subcontract will not be counted toward the DBE goal. If the 
LPA/Subrecipient has eliminated items of work subcontracted to a committed DBE, the prime consultant shall still 
make good faith efforts to replace the DBE with another DBE to the extent necessary to meet the goal. The 
LPA/Subrecipient will review the quality, thoroughness, and intensity of those efforts.  
  
When a DBE substitution has been approved by the LPA/Subrecipient and concurred by BECO, the consultant 
shall submit an amended DBE Intended Participation Affidavit Individual and Intended Participation Affidavit 
Summary to the LPA/Subrecipient for approval with the substitute DBE's name, description of work, NAICS code, 
AZ UTRACS registration number, and dollar value of work. Approval from LPA/Subrecipient with BECO 
concurrence must be obtained prior to the execution of a contract modification and before substituted DBE can 
begin work.  
  
22.06  Sanctions:   
  
Failure by the consultant to carry out the requirements of these DBE Termination/Substitution specifications is a 
material breach of contract and will result in such remedies as LPA/Subrecipient deems appropriate, with ADOT 
concurrence, which will include, but are not limited to the assessment of liquidated damages. The 
LPA/Subrecipient will deduct from monies due or becoming due the consultant, the dollar amount of the wrongfully 
DocuSign Envelope ID: 63377C47-9FC0-444D-949B-D58206E5B989

Contract No. 2020-006 
 
Page 38 of 45 
   
 
substituted/replaced DBE subcontract plus 25% of the amount remaining to be paid to the DBE as liquidated 
damages. These liquidated damages shall be in addition to all other retention or liquidated damages provided for 
elsewhere in the contract.  
  
23.0    Certification of Final DBE Payments:  
  
The consultant’s achievement of the goal is measured by actual payments made to the DBEs.  The consultant 
shall submit the “Certification of Final DBE Payments” form for each DBE firm working on the contract. This form 
shall be signed by the consultant and the relevant DBE, and submitted to the LPA/Subrecipient no later than 30 
days after the DBE completes its work.   
  
The LPA/Subrecipient and ADOT will use this certification and other information available to determine applicable 
DBE credit allowed to date by the Prime Consultant and the extent to which the DBE firms were fully paid for that 
work. By the act of filing the forms, the consultant acknowledges that the information is supplied in order to justify 
the payment of state and federal funds to the consultant.  
  
The consultant will not be released from the obligations of the contract until the “Certification of Final DBE 
Payments” forms are received and deemed acceptable by the LPA/Subrecipient.   
  
24.0  Sanctions for Not Meeting Contract DBE Goal:  
  
If the LPA/Subrecipient determines, with BECO concurrence, that the consultant has not met the DBE goal at the 
end of the contract, the LPA/Subrecipient will, at its discretion, may assess liquidated damages up to two times the 
amount of the unattained portion of the original DBE goal, based on the circumstances of the noncompliance. Not 
meeting the DBE goal will also be reflected in the consultant evaluation.  
  
The LPA/Subrecipient, with BECO concurrence, will determine whether liquidated damages will be assessed and 
the amount of the liquidate damages, the LPA/Subrecipient will consider whether there have been other violations 
on this or other contracts, whether the failure was due to circumstances beyond the control of the consultant, 
whether the consultant has made good faith efforts to meet the goal, and other appropriate circumstances.  
  
In addition to any other sanctions, willful failure of the consultant, DBE or other subconsultant to comply with this 
contract or with the Federal DBE regulations may result in disqualification from further contracting, subcontracting, 
or other participation in the Department’s and LPA/Subrecipient projects.  
  
25.0   False, Fraudulent, or Dishonest Conduct:  
  
In addition to any other remedies or actions, the Department will bring to the attention of the US Department of 
Transportation any appearance of false, fraudulent, or dishonest conduct in connection with the DBE program, so 
that USDOT can take steps such as referral to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution, referral to the 
USDOT Inspector General for possible initiation of suspension and debarment proceedings against the offending

Contract No. 2020-006 
 
Page 40 of 45 
   
 
2. A.R.S. §23-214 (A) which states “After December 31, 2007, every employer, after hiring an 
employee, shall verify the employment eligibility of the employee through the e-verify program and 
shall keep a record of the verification for the duration of the employee’s employment or at least three 
years, whichever is longer.” 
 
A breach of a warranty regarding compliance with immigration laws and regulations shall be deemed a 
material breach of the Contract, and the CONSULTANT and its Subconsultant(s) are subject to sanctions 
specified in Section D below. 
 
Failure to comply with a COUNTY audit process to randomly verify the employment records of 
CONSULTANT and Subconsultants shall be deemed a material breach of the Contract, and the 
CONSULTANT and Subconsultants are subject to sanctions specified in Section D below. 
 
C. COMPLIANCE VERIFICATION 
 
The  COUNTY  may,  at  its  sole  discretion,  require  evidence  of  compliance  from  the

Should the COUNTY request evidence of compliance, the CONSULTANT shall complete and return the 
Consultant Employment Record Verification Form and Employee Verification Worksheet provided by the 
COUNTY, no later than 21 days from receipt of the request for such information. 
 
Listing of the compliance verification procedure specified above does not preclude the COUNTY from 
utilizing other means to determine compliance. 
 
The COUNTY retains the legal right to inspect the papers of any employee who works on the Contract to 
ensure that the CONSULTANT and its Subconsultant(s) is/are complying with the warranty specified in this.  
 
 
D. SANCTIONS FOR NONCOMPLIANCE 
 
For purposes of this paragraph, noncompliance refers to either the CONSULTANTs or its Subconsultants’ 
failure to follow the immigration laws or to the CONSULTANT’s failure to provide records when 
requested.   Failure to comply with the immigration laws or to submit proof of compliance constitutes a 
material breach of Contract. At a minimum, the COUNTY shall reduce the CONSULTANT’s compensation 
by $10,000 for the initial instance of noncompliance by the CONSULTANT or its Subconsultant(s). If the 
same CONSULTANT or its Subconsultant(s) is in noncompliance within two (2) years from the initial 
noncompliance, the CONSULTANT’s compensation shall be reduced by a minimum of $10,000 for each 
instance of noncompliance.  The third instance by the same CONSULTANT or its Subconsultant(s) within 
a two (2) year period may result in addition to the minimum $50,000 reduction in compensation, in removal 
of the offending CONSULTANT or its Subconsultant(s), suspension of work in whole or in part or, in the 
case of a third violation by the CONSULTANT, termination of the Contract for default. Instances of 
noncompliance are counted on a firm-wide basis, not on a contract-by-contract basis. 
 
In addition, the COUNTY may declare the CONSULTANT or its Subconsultant(s) who is in noncompliance 
three times within a two (2) year period ineligible to perform on any COUNTY Contract for up to one (1) 
year.  For purposes of considering a declaration of ineligibility: (1) noncompliance by a Subconsultant does 
not count as a violation by the CONSULTANT; and (2) the COUNTY shall count instances of 
noncompliance on other COUNTY Contracts. 
The sanctions described herein are the minimum sanctions.  In case of major violations, the COUNTY 
reserves the right to impose any sanctions including and up to termination and debarment, regardless of 
the number of instances of non-compliance.

PROVISIONS 
**  FOR USE ON LPA FEDERAL AID PROJECTS  ** 
(09/20/2016) 
MEASUREMENTS AND PAYMENT: 
Partial Payments:  
If satisfactory progress is being made, the contractor will receive a payment based on the 
amount of work completed. Progress payments may be made by the LPA/ Subrecipient 
Procurement Office to the contractor on the basis of an approved estimate of the work 
performed during a preceding period of time. The progress payments shall be paid on or 
before 14 days after the estimate of the work is approved. The estimate of the work shall be 
deemed received by the LPA/Subrecipient Procurement Office on submission to the person 
designated by the LPA/Subrecipient Procurement Office for the submission, review or 
approval of the estimate of the work. The LPA/Subrecipient Procurement Office by mutual 
agreement may make progress payments on contracts of less than 90 days and shall make 
monthly progress payments on all other contracts. Payment to the contractor on the basis of 
a duly certified and approved estimate of the work performed during the preceding calendar 
month under the contract may include payment for material and equipment.  
An estimate of the work submitted shall be deemed approved and certified for payment after 
seven days from the date of submission unless before that time the LPA/Subrecipient 
Procurement Office or Designee prepares and issues a specific written finding setting forth 
those items in detail in the estimate of the work that are not approved for payment under the 
contract. The contractor shall work with the LPA/Subrecipient or the LPA/Subrecipient 
Designee to finalize monthly estimate.  The progress payments shall be paid on or before 
14 days after the estimate of the work is certified and approved in accordance with Arizona 
Revised Statutes Section 34-221.  
The contractor shall pay to the contractor's subcontractors or material suppliers and each 
subcontractor shall pay to the subcontractor's subcontractor or material supplier, within 
seven days of receipt of each progress payment the respective amounts allowed the 
contractor or subcontractor on account of the work performed by the subcontractors, to the 
extent of each subcontractor's interest, except that no contract for construction services may 
materially alter the rights of any contractor, subcontractor or material supplier to receive 
prompt and timely payment.  
A subcontractor may notify the LPA/Subrecipient Procurement Office in writing requesting 
that the subcontractor be notified by the Subrecipient Procurement Office in writing within 
five days from payment of each progress payment made to the contractor.

Prompt Pay and Payment Reporting Provisions- 2/5 
Subcontractor Payments:  
 
 
 
(1) 
Retention: 
 
If the prime contract does not provide for retention, the contractor and each subcontractor of 
any tier shall not withhold retention on any subcontract.  If the prime contract provides for 
retention, the prime contractor and each subcontractor of any tier shall not retain a higher 
percentage than the LPA/Subrecipient may retain under the prime contract. 
 
 
 
(2) 
No Set-offs Arising from Other Contracts: 
 
If a subcontractor is performing work on multiple contracts for the same contractor or 
subcontractor of any tier, the contractor or subcontractor of any tier shall not withhold or 
reduce payment from its subcontractors on the contract because of disputes or claims on 
another contract. 
 
 
 
(3) 
Partial Payment: 
 
The contractor and each subcontractor of any tier shall make prompt partial payments to its 
subcontractors within seven days of receipt of payment from the LPA/Subrecipient 
Procurement Office. Notwithstanding any provision of Arizona Revised Statutes Section 34-
221, the parties may not agree otherwise.  
 
 
 
 
(4) 
Final Payment: 
 
The contractor and each subcontractor of any tier shall make prompt final payment to each 
of its subcontractors.  The contractor and each subcontractor of any tier shall pay all 
monies, including retention, due to its subcontractor within seven days of receipt of 
payment. Notwithstanding any provision of Arizona Revised Statutes Section 34-221, the 
parties may not agree otherwise. 
 
 
 
(5)  Payment Reporting:  
 
For the purposes of this subsection “Reportable Contracts” means any subcontract, of any 
tier, DBE or non-DBE, by which work shall be performed on behalf of the contractor and any 
contract of any tier with a DBE material supplier. 
 
The requirements of this subsection apply to all Reportable Contracts. 
 
Payment Reporting for all Reportable Contracts shall be done through the LPA DBE System 
which can be accessed at AZ UTRACS on the Arizona Transportation Business Portal at 
www.azutracs.com. No later than fifteen calendar days after the preconstruction conference, 
the contractor shall log into the system and enter or verify the name, contact information, 
and subcontract amounts for Reportable Contracts on the project.  As Reportable Contracts 
are approved over the course of the contract, the contractor shall enter the subcontractor 
information in the LPA DBE System.  Reportable contracts information shall be entered into 
DocuSign Envelope ID: 63377C47-9FC0-444D-949B-D58206E5B989

Prompt Pay and Payment Reporting Provisions- 3/5 
the system no later than five calendar days after approval by the LPA/Subrecipient 
Procurement Office. 
 
The contractor shall report on a monthly basis indicating the amounts actually paid and the 
dates of each payment under any Reportable Contract on the project.  The contractor shall 
provide information for payments made on all Reportable Contracts during the previous 
month by the last day of the current month.  In the event that no payments were made during 
a given month, the contractor shall identify that by entering a dollar value of zero.  If the 
contractor does not pay the full amount of any invoice from a subcontractor, the contractor 
shall note that and provide the reasons in the comment section of the Monthly Payment 
Audit of the LPA DBE System. 
 
In addition, the contractor shall require that all participants in any Reportable Contract 
electronically verify receipt of payment on the contract within 15 days of receipt of electronic 
payment notification and the contractor shall actively monitor the system to ensure that the 
verifications are input. The contractor shall proactively work to resolve any payment 
discrepancies in the system between payment amounts it reports and payment confirmation 
amounts reported by others. 
 
The contractor shall ensure that all Reportable Contract payment activity is in the LPA DBE 
System. This includes all lower-tier Reportable Contracts. 
 
The contractor shall maintain records for each payment explaining the amount requested by 
the subcontractor, and the amount actually paid pursuant to the request, which may include 
but are not limited to, estimates, invoices, pay requests, copies of checks or wire transfers, 
and lien waivers in support of the monthly payments in the system. 
 
The contractor shall ensure that a copy of this Subsection is included in every Reportable 
Contract of every tier. 
 
 
 
(a)  
Sanctions for Inadequate Reporting:  
 
For each Reportable Contract on which the contractor fails to submit timely and complete 
payment information the LPA/Subrecipient Procurement Office will retain $1,000.00 as 
liquidated damages, from the monies due to the contractor.  Liquidated damages will be 
deducted each month for each Reportable Contract on which the contractor fails to submit 
payment information until the contractor provides the required information as described 
herein.  After 90 consecutive days of non-reporting, the liquidated damages will increase to 
$2,000.00 for each subsequent month, for each Reportable Contract on which the 
contractor fails to report until the information is provided.  These liquidated damages shall 
be in addition to all other retention or liquidated damages provided for elsewhere in the 
contract. 
 
 
(6)  Completion of Work: 
 
A subcontractor's work is satisfactorily completed when all the tasks called for in the 
subcontract have been accomplished, documented, and accepted by the LPA/Subrecipient 
Procurement Office.

(7)  Disputes:   
 
If there is a discrepancy between what is reported by the contractor in the LPA DBE System 
and what the subcontractor indicates, an alert email will automatically be sent to the 
contractor.  The email will be sent to the email address provided by the contractor in the 
LPA DBE System.  It is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure that the email address in the 
system is kept current. 
 
The contractor shall provide a verifiable explanation of the discrepancy in the LPA DBE 
System as early as practicable but in no case later than seven days after the date of the 
alert email. 
 
The LPA/Subrecipient will determine whether the contractor has acted in good faith 
concerning any such explanations. The LPA/Subrecipient and ADOT BECO reserves the 
right to request and receive documents from the contractor and all subcontractors of any 
tier, in order to determine whether prompt payment requirements are met. 
 
The contractor shall implement and use the dispute resolution process outlined in the 
subcontract or by following the LPA/Subcrecipient escalation process, to resolve payment 
disputes.  
 
 
 
(8)  
Non-compliance: 
 
Failure to make prompt partial payment, or prompt final payment including any retention, 
within the time frames established above, will result in remedies, as the LPA/Subrecipient 
Procurement Office deems appropriate, which may include but are not limited to: 
 
(a) Liquidated Damages: These liquidated damages shall be in addition to all 
other retention or liquidated damages provided for elsewhere in the 
contract. 
 
(i) The LPA/Subrecipient Procurement Office will withhold two times the 
disputed dollar amount not paid to each subcontractor. 
(ii) If full payment is made within 30 days of the LPASubrecipient 
Procurement Office’s payment to the contractor, the amount withheld by 
the LPA/Subrecipient Procurement Office will be released. 
(iii) If full payment is made after 30 days of the LPA/Subrecipient 
Procurement Office’s payment to the contractor, the LPA/Subrecipient 
Procurement Office will release 75 percent of the funds withheld.  The 
LPA/Subrecipient Procurement Office will retain 25 percent of the 
monies withheld as liquidated damages. 
 
 (b) Additional Remedies.  If the contractor fails to make prompt payment for 
three consecutive months, or any four months over the course of one

Prompt Pay and Payment Reporting Provisions- 5/5 
project, or if the contractor fails to make prompt payment on two or more 
projects within 24 months, the LPA/Subrecipient Procurement Office may, 
in addition, invoke the following remedies: 
 
(i) Withhold monthly progress payments until the issue is resolved and full 
payment has been made to all subcontractors, subject to the liquidated 
damages described in paragraph (a) above, 
(ii) Terminate the contract for default, 
(iii) Disqualify 
the 
contractor 
from 
future 
bidding, 
temporarily 
or 
permanently, depending on the number and severity of violations, if 
applicable. 
 
In determining whether liquidated damages will be assessed, the extent of the liquidated 
damages, or additional remedies assessed, the LPA/Subrecipient will consider whether 
there have been other violations on this or other federal-aid contracts, whether the failure to 
make prompt payment was due to circumstances beyond the contractor’s control, and other 
circumstances.  The contractor may, within 15 calendar days of receipt of the decision of the 
LPA/Subrecipient, escalate the decision according to the contract’s escalation process.

Subpart C 
Goals, Good Faith Efforts, and Counting 
§26.55 - How is DBE participation counted toward goals?
(a)
When a DBE participates in a contract, you count only the value of the work actually performed by the DBE
toward DBE goals.
(1) Count the entire amount of that portion of a construction contract (or other contract not covered by
paragraph (a)(2) of this section) that is performed by the DBE's own forces. Include the cost of supplies
and materials obtained by the DBE for the work of the contract, including supplies purchased or
equipment leased by the DBE (except supplies and equipment the DBE subcontractor purchases or leases
from the prime contractor or its affiliate).
(2)
Count the entire amount offees or commissions charged by a DBE firm for providing a bona fide service,
such as professional, technical, consultant, or managerial services, or for providing bonds or insurance
specifically required for the performance of a DOT-assisted contract, toward DBE goals, provided you
determine the fee to be reasonable and not excessive as compared with fees customarily allowed for
similar services.
(3) When a DBE subcontracts part of the work of its contract to another firm, the value of the subcontracted
work may be counted toward DBE goals only if the DBE's subcontractor is itself a DBE. Work that a DBE
subcontracts to a non-DBE firm does not count toward DBE goals.
(b)
When a DBE performs as a participant in a joint venture, count a portion of the total dollar value of the
contract equal to the distinct, clearly defined portion of the work of the contract that the DBE performs with
its own forces toward DBE goals.
(c)
Count expenditures to a DBE contractor toward DBE goals only if the DBE is performing a commercially useful
function on that contract.
(1) A DBE performs a commercially useful function when it is responsible for execution of the work of the
contract and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the
work involved. To perform a commercially useful function, the DBE shall also be responsible, with respect
to materials and supplies used on the contract, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity,
ordering the material, and installing (where applicable) and paying for the material itself. To determine
whether a DBE is performing a commercially useful function, you shall evaluate the amount of work
subcontracted, industry practices, whether the amount the firm is to be paid under the contract is 
commensurate with the work it is actually performing and the DBE credit claimed for its performance of 
the work, and other relevant factors.
(2) A DBE does not perform a commercially useful function if its role is limited to that of an extra participant
in a transaction, contract, or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance
of DBE participation. In determining whether a DBE is such an extra participant, you shall examine similar
transactions, particularly those in which DBEs do not participate.
(3) If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least 30 percent of the total cost of its contract
with its own work force, or the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of a contract than would
be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, you must presume
that it is not performing a commercially useful function.
(4) When a DBE is presumed not to be performing a commercially useful function as provided in paragraph
(c)(3) of this section, the DBE may present evidence to rebut this presumption. You may determine that

ATTACHMENT 3 - APPENDIX D
Maricopa County Department of Transportation 
Consultant Evaluation Program Guidelines 
Introduction & Purpose 
The Consultant Evaluation Program is a program administered by MCDOT as a means to 
monitor and evaluate the quality of work performed on engineering consultant 
contracts, and to meet the federal requirement under 23 CFR 172. 
A positive approach to the program assures that project schedule, cost, and quality of 
design and construction are attainable.  This assures that potential problems that may 
impact other projects are identified and resolved in a timely manner. 
All engineering consultant contracts shall be evaluated annually based on the Notice to 
Proceed (NTP) anniversary date by the MCDOT Project Manager, including other 
Technical groups in accordance with applicable contract provisions.  In addition to 
annual evaluations, a final consultant evaluation must be conducted at the end of all 
engineering consultant contracts. 
Implementation Timeline 
This evaluation program will be effective for all engineering consultant contracts with a 
Notice to Proceed date of July 1, 2015 or later.   
Uses for Consultant Evaluation  
Consultant Evaluations will be used for the following purposes: 
1. To identify consultant performance strengths and weakness, as well as help
identify, document and resolve performance issues as needed.
2. As one factor or criterion in the selection process for subsequent contracts.  Final
evaluations for contracts executed after July 1, 2015 will be used as part of the
selection process.  Up to 5 points may be deducted from a consultant score
during the selection process for final evaluation ratings of less than 3 (average
performance) on performance factors of evaluation for projects a firm has
completed for MCDOT over a three year time period.
Evaluation history to be used for selection will include evaluation scores
encompassing the most current three-year period at any given time.  The three-
DocuSign Envelope ID: 63377C47-9FC0-444D-949B-D58206E5B989

year evaluation history will be maintained for firm contracts executed after July 
1, 2015.  For example, a firm’s evaluation history in FY 2018 would include 
scores from FY 2015 through FY 2018, in FY 2019; the evaluation history would 
include FY 2016 through 2019. 
 
MCDOT will deduct points from the scores of submitted Statements of 
Qualifications (SOQ) for each firm based on performance rating as follows: 
Performance rating of 1 or 2 on 1-2 evaluation factors 
 -1 points 
Performance rating of 1 or 2 on 3-4 evaluation factors 
 
-2 points 
Performance rating of 1 or 2 on 5-6 evaluation factors 
 
-3 points 
Performance rating of 1 or 2 on 7-8 evaluation factors 
 
-4 points 
Performance rating of 1 or 2 on 9 or more evaluation factors 
-5 points 
 
3. As documentation to justify the declaration of a breach of contract for a 
consultant’s failure to fulfill terms of the contract or to address problems 
identified by MCDOT in the performance of the contract.  In order for MCDOT to 
take action that could declare a breach of contract, the MCDOT PM or staff must 
complete a Consultant Evaluation Form. 
 
Procedure 
 
The MCDOT PM will initiate the completion of consultant evaluation forms for contracts 
annually on their NTP anniversary date. 
 
Since evaluations will be used as a factor in the consultant selection process, it is 
important for MCDOT PMs, Resident Engineers or other applicable staff to complete 
evaluations in a timely manner. 
 
Please adhere to the following general guidelines in completing the consultant 
performance evaluation: 
 
1. The Consultation Evaluation Form shall be completed by the MCDOT PM and 
shall confer with other MCDOT Project Team members involved in the contract.  
The MCDOT PM shall complete the form within 21 calendar days after the NTP 
anniversary date and at the end of the contract. 
2. When totally completed, the MCDOT PM shall discuss the evaluation with the 
consultant.  If the consultant disagrees with the evaluation score, the consultant 
must provide a written response which shall be attached to the evaluation.  The 
consultant must also request a meeting with the MCDOT PM to try to resolve 
differences.  The request for a meeting must be made within 10 calendar days 
after receiving the evaluation rating.  If the request is not made within 10 
calendar days, the score shall be considered final. 
DocuSign Envelope ID: 63377C47-9FC0-444D-949B-D58206E5B989

3. The Department Evaluation Form shall be completed by the Consultant for 
review of MCDOT personnel and returned to the MCDOT Procurement Branch.   
 
4. Both the completed Consultant Evaluation Form and the Department Evaluation 
Form shall be filed together in a separate process improvement file in the 
MCDOT Procurement Branch.

ATTACHMENT 12 -  (PROJECT SPECIFIC - CONTRACTS) 
LPA/SUBRECIPIENT FEDERAL AID CONTRACT WITH OR WITHOUT DBE GOAL 
1.
Assurances of Non-Discrimination:
   (LPA PS EPRISE 2.0) 
The consultant, subrecipient, or subconsultant shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex or national 
origin in the performance of this contract.  The consultant shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR Part 
26 in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts.  Failure by the consultant 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 the LPA/Subrecipient with the Department’s concurrence deems appropriate, which may 
include, but are not limited to: 
(1)
Withholding monthly progress payments;
(2)
Assessing sanctions;
(3)
Liquidated damages;
(4)
Disqualifying the consultant from future proposals as non-responsible.
The consultant, subrecipient, or subconsultant shall ensure that all subcontract agreements contain this non-
discrimination assurance. 
2.
Time is of the Essence:
   (LPA PS EPRISE 8.0) 
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE IN RESPECT TO THE DBE PROVISIONS 
3. Computation of Time:
 (LPA PS EPRISE 9.0) 
In computing any period of time described in this DBE special provision, such as calendar days, the day from which 
the period begins to run is not counted, and when the last day of the period is a Saturday, Sunday, Federal or State 
holiday, the period extends to the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, Federal or State holiday. In 
circumstances where the LPA/Subrecipient Procurement Office is closed for all or part of the last day, the period 
extends to the next day on which the LPA / Subrecipient Procurement Office is open. 
4.
Crediting DBE Participation Toward Meeting Goals:
(LPA PS EPRISE 17.0) 
General Requirements: 
To count toward meeting the goal, the DBE firms must be certified at the time of Cost Proposal submission in each 
NAICS code applicable to the kind of work the firm will perform on the contract. NAICS for each DBE can be found on 
the AZ UTRACS website. General descriptions of all NAICS codes can be found at http://www.naics.com/search/.  
Credit towards the consultant’s DBE goal is given only after the DBE has been paid for the work performed. 
The entire amount of a contract that is performed by the DBE’s own forces, including the cost of supplies and 
materials purchased by the DBE for the work on the contract and equipment leased by the DBE will be credited 
toward DBE participation. Supplies and equipment the DBE subconsultant purchases or leases from the prime 
consultant or its affiliate will not be credited toward DBE participation. 
The consultant bears the responsibility to determine whether the DBE possesses the proper consultant’s license(s) to 
perform the work and, if DBE credit is requested, that the DBE subconsultant is certified for the requested type of 
work. 
If a DBE cannot complete its work due to failure to obtain or maintain its licensing, the consultant bears the 
responsibility to notify the LPA/Subrecipient, immediately after the consultant becomes aware of the situation, and 
DocuSign Envelope ID: 63377C47-9FC0-444D-949B-D58206E5B989

BECO Rev. 7/01/2016 
LPA DBE Subcontract Assurances Professional Services - 2/8 
request approval to replace the DBE with another DBE. The consultant shall follow the DBE termination/substitution 
requirements described in Subsection 22.0 of these DBE provisions. 
 
The Department’s certification is not a representation of a DBE’s qualifications and/or abilities.  The consultant bears 
all risks that the DBE may not be able to perform its work for any reason. 
 
A DBE may participate as a prime consultant, subconsultant, or as a vendor of materials or supplies.  The dollar 
amount of work to be accomplished by DBEs, including partial amount of a lump sum or other similar item, shall be 
on the basis of subcontract, purchase order, hourly rate, rate per ton, etc., as agreed to between parties. 
 
DBE credit may be obtained only for specific work done for the project, supply of equipment specifically for physical 
work on the project, or supply of materials to be incorporated in the work.  DBE credit will not be allowed for costs 
such as overhead items, capital expenditures (for example, purchase of equipment), and office items. 
 
The consultant may credit second-tier subcontracts issued to DBEs by non-DBE subconsultants.  Any second-tier 
subcontract to a DBE used to meet the goal must meet the requirements of a first-tier DBE subcontract. 
 
A prime consultant may credit the entire amount of that portion of a contract that is performed by the DBE’s own 
forces.  The cost of supplies and materials obtained by the DBE for the work of the contract can be included so 
long as that cost is reasonable.  Leased equipment may also be included.  No credit is permitted for supplies 
purchased or equipment leased from the prime consultant or its affiliate(s). 
 
When a DBE subcontracts a part of the work of its contract to another firm, the value of the subcontract may be 
credited towards the DBE goal only if the DBE’s subconsultant is itself a DBE and performs the work with its own 
forces.  Work that a DBE subcontracts to a non-DBE firm does not count toward a DBE goal. 
 
A prime consultant may credit the entire amount of fees or commissions charged by a DBE firm for providing a 
bona fide service, such as professional, technical, consulting, or managerial services, or for providing bonds or 
insurance specifically required for the performance of a USDOT-assisted contract, provided the fees are 
reasonable and not excessive as compared with fees customarily allowed for similar services. 
 
DBE Prime Consultant: 
 
When a certified DBE firm proposes on a contract that contains a DBE goal, the DBE firm is responsible for meeting 
the DBE goal on the contract or making good faith efforts to meet the goal, just like any other proposer. In most 
cases, a DBE proposer on a contract will meet the DBE goal by virtue of the work it performs on the contract with 
its own forces. However, all the work that is performed by the DBE proposer or any other DBE subconsultants and 
DBE suppliers will count toward the DBE goal. The DBE proposer shall list itself along with any DBE subconsultants 
and suppliers, on the DBE Intended Participation Affidavit Individual and Summary in order to receive credit 
toward the DBE goal.  
 
Effect of Loss of DBE Eligibility: 
 
If a DBE is deemed ineligible (decertified) or suspended in accordance with 49 CFR 26.87 and 26.88, the DBE may not 
be considered to meet a contract goal on a new contract, but may be considered to meet the contract goal under a 
subcontract that was executed before the DBE suspension or decertification is effective. 
 
When the consultant makes a commitment to use an ineligible DBE firm or the LPA/Subrecipient, made a 
commitment to use an ineligible DBE prime consultant, but a subcontract or contract has not been executed before a 
decertification notice is issued to the DBE firm by its certifying agency, the ineligible firm does not count toward the 
contract goal. The consultant must meet the contract goal with an eligible DBE firm or demonstrate good faith effort. 
When a subcontract is executed with the DBE firm before the Department notified the firm of its ineligibility, the 
DocuSign Envelope ID: 63377C47-9FC0-444D-949B-D58206E5B989

BECO Rev. 7/01/2016 
LPA DBE Subcontract Assurances Professional Services - 3/8 
consultant may continue to use the firm on the contract and may continue to receive credit toward the DBE goal for 
the firm’s work. 
 
Notifying the Consultant of DBE Certification Status: 
 
Each DBE contract at any tier shall require any DBE subconsultant or supplier that is either decertified or certified 
during the term of the contract to immediately notify the consultant and all parties to the DBE contract in writing, 
with the date of decertification or certification. The consultant shall require that this provision be incorporated in 
any contract of any tier in which a DBE is a participant. 
 
Police Officers: 
 
DBE credit will not be permitted for procuring DPS officers.  For projects on which officers from other agencies are 
supplied, DBE credit will be given only for the broker fees charged, and will not include amounts paid to the 
officers.  The broker fees must be reasonable. 
 
Commercially Useful Function: 
 
A prime consultant can credit expenditures to a DBE subconsultant toward DBE goals only if the DBE performs a 
Commercially Useful Function (CUF). 
 
A DBE performs a CUF when it is responsible for execution of the work of a contract and carries out its 
responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved.  To perform a commercially 
useful function, the DBE must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies on the contract, for 
negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material, and installing (where applicable) and 
paying for the material itself that it uses on the project.  To determine whether a DBE is performing a 
commercially useful function, the LPA/Subrecipient will evaluate the amount of work subcontracted, industry 
practices, whether the amount the firm is to be paid under the contract is commensurate with the work it is 
actually performing and the DBE credit claimed for its performance of the work, and other relevant factors. 
 
A DBE will not be considered to perform a commercially useful function if its role is limited to that of an extra 
participant in a transaction, contract, or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance 
of DBE participation.  In determining whether a DBE is such an extra participant, the LPA/Subrecipient will examine 
similar transactions, particularly those in which DBEs do not participate. 
 
If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least 30 percent of the total cost of its contract with its 
own work force, or if the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of a contract than would be expected on 
the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, LPA/Subrecipient will presume that the DBE is 
not performing a commercially useful function. 
 
When a DBE is presumed not to be performing a commercially useful function as provided above, the DBE may 
present evidence to rebut this presumption.  The Department will determine if the firm is performing a CUF given 
the type of work involved and normal industry practices. 
 
The LPA/Subrecipient will notify the consultant, in writing, if it determines that the consultant’s DBE subconsultant 
is not performing a CUF.  The consultant will be notified within seven calendar days of the LPA/Subrecipient’s 
decision. 
 
Decisions on CUF may be appealed to the ADOT BECO.  The appeal must be in writing and personally delivered or 
sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the ADOT BECO.  The appeal must be received by ADOT BECO 
no later than seven calendar days after the LPA/Subrecipient’s decision.  LPA/Subrecipient’s decision remains in 
place unless and until the ADOT BECO reverses or modifies LPA/Subrecipient’s decision. ADOT BECO will promptly

BECO Rev. 7/01/2016 
LPA DBE Subcontract Assurances Professional Services - 4/8 
consider any appeals under this subsection and notify the consultant of the ADOT BECO findings and decisions.  
Decisions on CUF matters are not administratively appealable to USDOT. 
 
The LPA/Subrecipient may conduct project site visits on the contract to confirm that DBEs are performing a CUF. 
The consultant shall cooperate during the site visits and the LPA/Subrecipient staff will make every effort not to 
disrupt work on the project. 
 
5.   
Effect of Contract Changes:  
 
 
 
 
 
 
(LPA PS EPRISE 18.0) 
 
The consultant acknowledges that uncertainties can occur during the performance of the work and if for any 
reason it becomes apparent that the DBE goal will not be met then the consultant shall:  (1) immediately notify 
the LPA/Subrecipient of the potential or actual decrease in DBE compensation, and (2) make good faith efforts to 
obtain DBE participation to meet or exceed the project DBE goal. Good faith efforts required under the provisions 
of this section may vary, depending on the time available, the nature of the change, and other factors as 
determined by LPA/Subrecipient. 
 
LPA/Subrecipient will approve or deny the consultant’s good faith efforts with BECO concurrence.  
 
The consultant is not required to take work committed to another subconsultant and assign it to a DBE 
subconsultant in order to meet the committed DBE percentage. 
 
If the resulting change increases the scope or quantity of work being done by a DBE subconsultant, the DBE shall 
be given the opportunity to complete the additional work and receive additional compensation beyond their 
original subcontract amount. 
 
6.   
DBE Participation Above the Goal (Race-Neutral Participation):  
 
 
(LPA PS EPRISE 19.0) 
 
Additional DBE participation above the DBE participation required to meet the contract DBE goal is an important 
aspect of the Department’s DBE program. The consultant is strongly encouraged to use additional DBEs above the 
DBE goal requirement in the contract to assist the Department in meeting its overall DBE goal and help the 
Department to meet the maximum feasible portion of its DBE goals through race neutral participation as outlined in 
49 CFR Part 26. 
 
There are fewer administrative requirements on the part of the consultant when using race neutral DBEs (DBEs not 
listed on the DBE Intended Participation Affidavit Summary). For example, if a DBE is not listed on the DBE Intended 
Participation Affidavit Summary, the DBE does not have to submit an Affidavit, and the subcontract approval process 
follows the same process of any other subcontract. The consultant does not have to replace the DBE with another 
DBE subconsultant if the DBE fails to perform. Therefore these DBEs are treated as any other subconsultant on the 
project. 
 
7.  
Required Provisions for DBE Subcontracts:  
 
 
 
 
(LPA PS EPRISE 20.0) 
 
All subcontracts of any tier, all supply contracts, and any other contracts in which a DBE is a participant shall 
include as a physical attachment, DBE Subconsultant Compliance Assurances available from the LPA/Subrecipient 
and all of the Uniform Terms and Conditions set forth in other sections of this contract. 
 
Consultants executing agreements with subconsultants, DBE or non-DBE, that materially modify federal regulation 
and state statutes such as, prompt payment and retention requirements, through subcontract terms and 
conditions will be found in breach of contract which may result in termination of the contract, or any other such 
remedy as the LPA/Subrecipient and ADOT deem appropriate as outline in DBE Subsection 2.0. 
 
The LPA/Subrecipient reserves the right to conduct random reviews of DBE and non-DBE subcontract 
documentation to ensure compliance with federal requirements. 
DocuSign Envelope ID: 63377C47-9FC0-444D-949B-D58206E5B989

BECO Rev. 7/01/2016 
LPA DBE Subcontract Assurances Professional Services - 5/8 
 
The consultant shall ensure that all subcontracts or agreements with DBEs to supply labor or materials require that 
the subcontract and all lower tier subcontracts be performed in accordance with 49 CFR Part 26 provisions. 
 
The Consultant shall provide electronic copies of signed subcontract agreements for all DBE Subconsultants listed 
on the DBE Intended Participation Affidavit Summary by uploading them within 15 calendar days of an approved 
contract to the LPA DBE System.   
 
8.  
Contract Performance:   
 
 
 
 
 
 
(LPA PS EPRISE 21.0) 
 
Contract items of work designated by the consultant to be awarded to DBEs shall be performed by the designated 
DBE or a LPA/Subrecipient, with BECO concurrence, approved DBE substitute.  The Consultant or a non-DBE 
Subconsultant shall not perform DBE contract work items without prior approval by LPA/Subrecipient, with BECO 
concurrence..  The DBE must perform a commercially useful function; that is, the DBE must manage, perform, and 
supervise a distinct element of work. 
 
The consultant is required to use DBEs identified in the SOQ to meet the contract goal, so the prime consultant is 
responsible for ensuring that the DBEs are available to meet scheduling, work and other requirements on the 
contract.  
 
The LPA/Subrecipient will visit the consultant’s office to conduct reviews to ensure compliance with CUF and other 
DBE requirements.  The reviews may include, among other activities, interview of DBEs and their employees and 
the consultant and its employees.  The consultant shall cooperate in the review and make its employees available.  
The consultant shall inform the LPA/Subrecipient in advance when each DBE will be working on the project to help 
facilitate reviews. 
 
The LPA/Subrecipient reserves the right to request and inspect all records of the consultant and all records of the 
DBEs and non-DBE subconsultants concerning this contract.  The consultant must make available a copy of all 
documents related to all contracts the LPA/Subrecipient upon request. 
 
Use of every DBE listed on the DBE Intended Participation Affidavit Summary is a condition of this contract. The 
consultant shall utilize the specific DBEs listed to perform the work and supply the materials for which each is 
listed on the DBE Intended Participation Affidavit Summary unless the consultant obtains written consent from the 
LPA/Subrecipient with BECO concurrence. The consultant shall not be entitled to any payment for work or material 
that is not performed or supplied by the listed DBE unless the consultant obtains written consent from the 
LPA/Subrecipient with BECO concurrence. 
 
9.  
DBE Termination/Substitution:   
 
 
 
 
 
(LPA PS EPRISE 22.0) 
 
General Requirements: 
 
The consultant shall make all reasonable efforts to avoid terminating or substituting a DBE listed on the DBE 
Intended Participation Affidavit Summary. At a minimum, the consultant shall negotiate in good faith, give timely 
notices and/or extend deadlines to the extent that it will not jeopardize the contract with the LPA/Subrecipient. 
Reasonable methods to resolve performance disputes must be applied and documentation provided to the 
Department and the LPA/Subrecipient before attempting to substitute or terminate a DBE. 
 
 
 
Consultant Notice of Termination/Substitution: 
 
All terminations, substitutions, and reductions in scope of work to be performed by DBEs listed on the DBE 
Intended Participation Affidavit Summary must be approved in writing by the LPA/Subrecipient, with BECO 
DocuSign Envelope ID: 63377C47-9FC0-444D-949B-D58206E5B989

BECO Rev. 7/01/2016 
LPA DBE Subcontract Assurances Professional Services - 6/8 
concurrence and by means of the executed contract modification. The consultant shall contact the 
LPA/Subrecipient within 24 hours from the first sign of any reason for potential DBE termination/substitution. 
 
The consultant shall not terminate a DBE subconsultant listed on the DBE Intended Participation Affidavit 
Summary or complete the work contracted to the DBE with its own forces or with a non-DBE firm without the 
LPA/Subrecipient written consent and BECO concurrence. Before submitting a formal request to the 
LPA/Subrecipient for DBE termination/substitution, the consultant shall give written notice to the DBE 
subconsultant with a copy to the LPA/Subrecipient of its intent to terminate or substitute the DBE identifying the 
reason for the action.  The DBE shall be allowed a minimum of five calendar days to respond to the consultant’s 
notice advising the consultant, the LPA/Subrecipient of its position. Before making a determination for approval 
regarding the consultant’s termination and substitution request, the LPA/Subrecipient, with BECO concurrence, 
will consider both the consultant’s request and the DBE firm’s response. 
 
Consultant Request of Termination/Substitution:  
 
The consultant shall formally request the termination or substitution of a DBE listed on the DBE Intended 
Participation Affidavit Summary by submitting the DBE Termination/Substitution Request Form and supporting 
documentation to the LPA/Subrecipient; form is available from the LPA/Subrecipient. The submission shall include 
the following information: 
 
1) The date the consultant determined the DBE to be unwilling, unable or ineligible to perform. 
2) A brief statement of facts describing the situation and citing specific actions or inaction by the DBE 
firm giving rise to consultant’s assertion that the DBE firm is unwilling, unable, or ineligible to 
perform. 
3) A brief statement of the good faith efforts undertaken by the consultant to enable the DBE firm to 
perform. 
4) The total dollar amount currently paid for work performed by the DBE firm. 
5) The total dollar amount remaining to be paid to the DBE firm for work completed, but for which the 
DBE firm has not received payment, and over which the consultant and the DBE firm have no dispute.  
6) The remaining work that has not been completed by the DBE and the corresponding dollar amount 
7) The projected date that the consultant requires a substitution or replacement DBE to commence 
work, if consent is granted to the request. 
 
Written consent for terminating the performance of any DBE listed on the DBE Intended Participation Affidavit 
Summary will be granted only where the consultant can demonstrate good cause showing that the DBE is unable, 
unwilling, or ineligible to perform. Such written consent to terminate any DBE shall concurrently constitute written 
consent to substitute or replace the terminated DBE. Termination or substitution of a DBE listed on the DBE 
Intended Participation Summary will not be allowed based solely on a consultant's ability to negotiate a more 
advantageous contract with another subconsultant.  Prior to making a determination for approval regarding the 
consultant’s termination and substitution request, the LPA/Subrecipient, with BECO concurrence, will consider 
both the consultant’s request and the DBE firm’s response. 
 
Good Cause:  
 
The LPA/Subrecipient, with BECO concurrence, will make the determination of good cause by providing written 
consent to the consultant after evaluating the consultant’s good cause to terminate or substitute a DBE firm. Good 
cause for this purpose includes the following in relation to the listed DBE subconsultant: 
 
1. Fails or refuses to execute a written contract. 
2. Fails or refuses to perform the work of its subcontract in a way consistent with normal industry practice 
standards. However, good cause does not exist if the failure or refusal of the DBE subconsultant to 
perform its work on the subcontract results from the bad faith or discriminatory action of the prime 
consultant.

BECO Rev. 7/01/2016 
LPA DBE Subcontract Assurances Professional Services - 7/8 
3. Fails or refuses to meet the prime consultant’s reasonable, nondiscriminatory insurance/bond 
requirements. 
4. Becomes bankrupt, insolvent, or exhibits credit unworthiness. 
5. Is ineligible to work on public works projects because of suspension and debarment proceedings pursuant 
to federal or state law. 
6. Is not a responsible consultant. 
7. Voluntarily withdraws from the project and provides written notice of its withdrawal to the 
LPA/Subrecipient. 
8. 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 firm is unable to complete its work on the 
contract. 
10. Other documented good cause that the LPA/Subrecipient determines compels the termination or 
substitution of the DBE subconsultant. 
 
If good cause is determined, the LPA/Subrecipient and will notify the Consultant of the decision and necessary 
modifications to the contract can be made. 
 
DBE Replacement Good Faith Effort:  
 
If the LPA/Subrecipient, with BECO concurrence, approves the termination of a DBE, the consultant shall make 
good faith efforts to find another DBE subconsultant to substitute for the original DBE. The good faith efforts as 
identified in DBE Subsection 17.0 shall be directed at finding another DBE to perform at least the same amount of 
work under the contract as the DBE that was terminated, to the extent needed to meet the contract goal. The 
good faith efforts shall be documented and provided, upon request, to the LPA/Subrecipient within seven 
calendar days from the date of the request.  
 
A prime consultant’s inability to find a replacement DBE at the original price is not alone sufficient to support a 
finding that good faith efforts have been made to replace the original DBE. The fact that the consultant has the 
ability and/or desire to perform the contract work with its own forces does not relieve the consultant of the 
obligation to make good faith efforts to find the replacement DBE, and it is not a sound basis for rejecting a 
perspective replacement DBE’s reasonable quote. 
 
The termination of a DBE firm shall not relieve the consultant of its obligations under this Special Provision, and 
the unpaid portion of the terminated DBE firm’s subcontract will not be counted toward the DBE goal. If the 
LPA/Subrecipient has eliminated items of work subcontracted to a committed DBE, the prime consultant shall still 
make good faith efforts to replace the DBE with another DBE to the extent necessary to meet the goal. The 
LPA/Subrecipient will review the quality, thoroughness, and intensity of those efforts. 
 
When a DBE substitution has been approved by the LPA/Subrecipient and concurred by BECO, the consultant shall 
submit an amended DBE Intended Participation Affidavit Individual and Intended Participation Affidavit Summary 
to the LPA/Subrecipient for approval with the substitute DBE's name, description of work, NAICS code, AZ UTRACS 
registration number, and dollar value of work. Approval from LPA/Subrecipient with BECO concurrence must be 
obtained prior to the execution of a contract modification and before substituted DBE can begin work. 
 
Sanctions: 
 
 
Failure by the consultant to carry out the requirements of these DBE Termination/Substitution specifications is a 
material breach of contract and will result in such remedies as LPA/Subrecipient deems appropriate, with ADOT 
concurrence, which will include, but are not limited to the assessment of liquidated damages. The 
LPA/Subrecipient will deduct from monies due or becoming due the consultant, the dollar amount of the 
wrongfully substituted/replaced DBE subcontract plus 25% of the amount remaining to be paid to the DBE as 
liquidated damages. These liquidated damages shall be in addition to all other retention or liquidated damages 
provided for elsewhere in the contract.

10.   
 
Certification of Final DBE Payments:  
 
 
 
 
(LPA PS EPRISE 25.0) 
 
The consultant’s achievement of the goal is measured by actual payments made to the DBEs.  The consultant shall 
submit the “Certification of Final DBE Payments” form for each DBE firm working on the contract. This form shall 
be signed by the consultant and the relevant DBE, and submitted to the LPA/Subrecipient no later than 30 days 
after the DBE completes its work.  
 
The LPA/Subrecipient and ADOT will use this certification and other information available to determine applicable 
DBE credit allowed to date by the Prime Consultant and the extent to which the DBE firms were fully paid for that 
work. By the act of filing the forms, the consultant acknowledges that the information is supplied in order to 
justify the payment of state and federal funds to the consultant. 
 
The consultant will not be released from the obligations of the contract until the “Certification of Final DBE 
Payments” forms are received and deemed acceptable by the LPA/Subrecipient.  
 
11. 
 
Sanctions for Not Meeting Contract DBE Goal:  
 
 
 
(LPA PS EPRISE 24.0) 
 
If the LPA/Subrecipient determines, with BECO concurrence, that the consultant has not met the DBE goal at the 
end of the contract, the LPA/Subrecipient will, at its discretion, may assess liquidated damages up to two times 
the amount of the unattained portion of the original DBE goal, based on the circumstances of the noncompliance. 
Not meeting the DBE goal will also be reflected in the consultant evaluation. 
 
The LPA/Subrecipient, with BECO concurrence, will determine whether liquidated damages will be assessed and

Re: 
MCDOT Contract 2020-006, QT JOB 20025.00 
CA on Northern Parkway Ops at Dysart Rd & El Mirage Rd (TT0427) 
Quality Testing, LLC (QT) – Cost Proposal, V2 
Dear Mr. Lara: 
Quality Testing, LLC (QT) is hereby submitting our REVISED cost proposal for the above referenced contract. 
Behind this cover letter you will find the following items along with discussion. 
•
QT’s CONTRACT FEE SCHEDULE: This sheet summarized direct labor rates, overhead, fee, and reimbursable direct
expenses.  This page, along with Certified Payrolls and all other required MCDOT rate support has been sent directly to
MCDOT Contracts, on MCDOT forms.  In the event that any of the shown direct expense items are not approved by
MCDOT Contracts, adjustments to the Effective Overhead and Direct Expenses will need to be modified.  Such potential
changes will have an impact on the overall FEE PROPOSAL – TABLE A.
•
QT’s FEE PROPOSAL – TABLE A: This sheet shows all classification direct labor rates extended out by hours, factored
by an approved overhead and fee, along with all the extended other direct fees, and the lab testing fees.
•
QT’s FEE PROPOSAL – TABLE A-1: This sheet shows the derivation of the Overtime Contingency Allowance.  The total
allowance has been carried forward to TABLE A, but is NOT included in the total proposed fee.  QT understands that the
contingency allowance cannot be utilized without approval.
•
QT’s FEE PROPOSAL – TABLE B:  This sheet shows the direct labor hours distributed over the duration of the project.
These hours are carried forward to TABLE A.
•
QT’s LABORATORY TESTING ESTIMATE: This sheet shows the derivation of the laboratory testing value that has been
carried forward to TABLE A.  Note that no initial sampling and testing plan existed at the time of this cost estimate.  While
a rough sampling plan, using bid quantities, was developed for estimating purposes, this is by no means a final sampling
and testing plan.  After a consultant contract is in place, and after the project plans and requirements are finalized,
developing a detailed and more accurate Sampling and Testing plan will be the one of the early project tasks conducted
by the Materials Coordinator and reviewed/approved by the Materials Engineer.
As previously stated, several items have already been submitted directly to the MCDOT Contracts Section.  In the event that there 
are comments that require revision by QT, we will keep Tristar advised. 
Thank you. 
Sincerely, 
Douglas J. Lattin, PE (AZ #22886)

NOTE 3
EFFECTIVE OVERHEAD:  QT's 2018 FARS compliant company overhead 
value is proposed in conjunction with several company specific direct 
expenses. For any of the proposed direct expenses named above that are not 
approved  by MCDOT, a corresponding overhead adjustment will be 
necessary.  For example, adjustments may be necessary to account for (i) a 
vehicle compensation rate less than the proposed company vehicle rate 
above. (ii) an I/T compensation rate lass than the rate proposed above and 
(iii) rejection of dedicated NDG, (iv) rejection of overtime labor premium, or (v) 
uncompensated wage increases over project duration.

NOTE 4
LAB TESTING:  Lab testing for Soils, Aggregates, Concrete, AC Mixtures, 
Asphalt Binder, and Slurry Materials will be billed in accordance with the most 
current QT rate sheet entitled "CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS TESTING 
SERVICES FEE SCHEDULE". The  "Effective February 2020" version is 
attached.
Project time is considered portal to portal. For this contract, approved 
overtime hours (non-engineer) will be charged at 1.5 times the straight time 
rate (i.e. OT Premium Factor = 1.5).  An overtime contingency allowance will 
be established, and only utilized with MCDOT prior approval.
With prior approval from MCDOT, all direct and outside expenses other than 
those shown will be reimbursed at cost.

Actual test types, and numbers of tests, will be based on actual quantities.
At the time of this cost estimate, no detailed Sampling and Testing Plan (S & TP) existed.
For the purpose of cost estimating, a very rough S & T P approximation 
was developed and then used as the basis for establishing 
the intial LABORATORY TESTING ESTIMATE.
The attached LABORATORY TESTING ESTIMATE supports the dollar value 
shown below.  Minimum test quantities for each test were utilized, 
then increased by a reasonable percentage to acknowledge the fact that there will be
material lots with quantities that are smaller than the idealized optimum lot sizes.  This reality
results in the planned number of samples exceeeding those defined in the S & TP.  
For each test type, the number of planned samples was extended by the 
 respective unit test prices.
