Underutilized Business Requirements.
(6) By satisfactory completion of all services and obligations described herein.

in performing the work to the date of default; (2) the amount of work required which was
satisfactorily completed to date of default; (3) the value of the work which is usable to the City;
(4) the cost to the City of employing another firm to complete the required work; (5) the time
required to employ another firm to complete the work; and (6) other factors which affect the
Page 5 of 10

the contract (Fee Schedule) in determining the value of the work performed up to the time of
termination. In the case of partially completed engineering services, eligible costs will be
calculated as set forth in Attachment E, Fee Schedule. The sum of the provisional overhead
percentage rate during the years in which work was performed shall be used to calculate partial
payments. Any portion of the fixed fee not previously paid in the partial payments shall not be
included in the final payment.
E. Excusable Delays. Except with respect to defaults of subproviders, the Engineer shall not
be in default by reason of any failure in performance of this contract in accordance with its terms
(including any failure to progress in the performance of the work) if such failure arises out of
causes beyond the control and without the default or negligence of the Engineer. Such causes
may include, but are not restricted to, acts of God or the public enemy, acts of the Government in
either its sovereign or contractual capacity, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions,
strikes, freight embargoes, and unusually severe weather.
F. Surviving Requirements. The termination of this contract and payment of an amount in
settlement as prescribed above shall extinguish the rights, duties, and obligations of the City and
the Engineer under this contract, except for those provisions that establish responsibilities that
extend beyond the contract period.
G. Payment of Additional Costs. If termination of this contract is due to the failure of the
Engineer to fulfill its contract obligations, the City may take over the project and prosecute the
work to completion, and the Engineer shall be liable to the City for any additional cost to the
City.
ARTICLE 17. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS
The Engineer shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, statutes, codes,
ordinances, rules and regulations, and the orders and decrees of any court, or administrative
bodies or tribunals in any manner affecting the performance of this contract, including, without
limitation, worker's compensation laws, minimum and maximum salary and wage statutes and
regulations, nondiscrimination, and licensing laws and regulations. When required, the Engineer
shall furnish the City with satisfactory proof of its compliance therewith.

person employed by the Engineer.

ATTACHMENT H -FG
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE)
for Federal -Aid Professional or Technical Services Contracts
1) PURPOSE. The purpose of this attachment is to carry out the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT)
policy of ensuring nondiscrimination in the award and administration of DOT assisted contracts and creating a
level playing field on which firms owned and controlled by minority or socially and economically disadvantaged
individuals can compete fairly for DOT assisted contracts.
2) POLICY. It is the policy of the DOT and the Texas Department of Transportation (henceforth the
"Department") that Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs) as defined in 49 CFR Part 26, Subpart A and the
Department's Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program, shall have the opportunity to participate in the
performance of contracts financed in whole or in part with Federal funds. Consequently, the Disadvantaged
Business Enterprise requirements of 49 CFR Part 26, and the Department's Disadvantaged Business Enterprise
Program, apply to this contract as follows.
a. The Provider will offer Disadvantaged Business Enterprises, as defined in 49 CFR Part 26, Subpart A and
the Department's Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program, the opportunity to compete fairly for
contracts and subcontracts financed in whole or in part with Federal funds. In this regard, the Provider shall
make a good faith effort to meet the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise goal for this contract.
b. The Provider and any subprovider(s) shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex
in the performance of this contract. The Provider shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR Part 26
in the award and administration of DOT assisted contracts. The requirements of this Special Provision shall
be physically included in any subcontract.
c. When submitting the contract for execution by the Department, the Provider must complete and furnish
Exhibit H-1 which lists the commitments made to certified DBE subprovider(s) that are to meet the contract
goal and Exhibit H-2 which is a commitment agreement(s) containing the original signatures of the Provider
and the proposed DBE(s). For Work Authorization Contracts, Exhibit H-1 is required at the time of
submitting the contract for execution by the Department. Exhibit H-2 will be required to be completed and
attached with each work authorization number that is submitted for execution, if the DBE will be performing
work. Any substitutions or changes to the DBE subcontract amount shall be subject to prior written approval
by the Department. If non -DBE subprovider is performing work, insert N/A (not applicable) on the line
provided.
d. Failure to carry out the requirements set forth above shall constitute a material breach of this contract and
may result; in termination of the contract by the Department; in a deduction of the amount of DBE goal not
accomplished by DBEs from the money due or to become due to the Provider, not as a penalty but as
liquidated damages to the Department; or such other remedy or remedies as the Department deems
appropriate.
3) DEFINITIONS.
a. "Department" means the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).
b. "Federal -Aid Contract" is any contract between the Texas Department of Transportation and a Provider
which is paid for in whole or in part with U. S. Department of Transportation (DOT) financial assistance.
c. "Provider" is any individual or company that provides professional or technical services.
d. "DBE Joint Venture" means an association a DBE firm and one (1) or more other firm(s) to carry out a
single business enterprise for profit for which purpose they combine their property, capital, efforts, skills and
knowledge, and in which the DBE is responsible for a distinct, clearly defined portion of the work of the
contract and whose share in the capital contribution, control, management, risks and profits of the joint
venture are commensurate with its ownership interest.
e. "Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE)" means a firm certified as such by the Department in accordance
with 49 CFR Part 26.
f. "Good Faith Effort" means efforts to achieve a DBE goal or other requirement of this Special Provision
which, by their scope, intensity, and appropriateness to the objective, can reasonably be expected to fulfill
the program requirement.
g. "Race -neutral DBE Participation" means any participation by a DBE through customary competitive
procurement procedures.
Page 1 of 4 Attachment H -FG
Contract No.
4) PERCENTAGE GOAL. The goal for Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation in the work to
be performed under this contract is % of the contract amount.
5) PROVIDER'S RESPONSIBILITIES. A DBE prime may receive credit toward the DBE goal for work
performed by his -her own forces and work subcontracted to DBEs. A DBE prime must make a good faith effort
to meet the goals. In the event a DBE prime subcontracts to a non -DBE, that information must be reported to the
Department.
a. A Provider who cannot meet the contract goal, in whole or in part, shall document the "Good Faith Efforts"
taken to obtain DBE participation. The following is a list of the types of actions that may be considered as
good faith efforts. It is not intended to be a mandatory checklist, nor is it intended to be exclusive or
exhaustive. Other factors or types of efforts may be relevant in appropriate cases.
(1) Soliciting through all reasonable and available means the interest of all certified DBEs who have the
capability to perform the work of the contract. The solicitation must be done within sufficient time
to allow the DBEs to respond to it. Appropriate steps must be taken to follow up initial solicitations
to determine, with certainty, if the DBEs are interested.
(2) Selecting portions of the work to be performed by DBEs in order to increase the likelihood that the
DBE goals will be achieved. This includes, where appropriate, breaking out contract work items into
economically feasible units to facilitate DBE participation, even when the Provider might otherwise
prefer to perform the work items with its own forces.
(3) 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.
(4) Negotiating in good faith with interested DBEs by making a portion of the work available to DBE
subproviders and suppliers and selecting those portions of the work or material needs consistent with
the available DBE subproviders and suppliers.
(5) The ability or desire of the Provider to perform the work of a contract with its own organization does
not relieve the Provider's responsibility to make a good faith effort. Additional costs involved in
finding and using DBEs is not in itself sufficient reason for a Provider's failure to meet the contract
DBE goal, as long as such costs are reasonable. Providers are not, however, required to accept
higher quotes from DBEs if the price difference is excessive or unreasonable.
(6) Not rejecting DBEs as being unqualified without sound reasons based on a thorough investigation of
their capabilities.
(7) Making efforts to assist interested DBEs in obtaining bonding, lines of credit, or insurance as
required by the recipient or Provider.
(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 contractors' 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.
(10) If the Department's Director of the Business Opportunity Programs Office determines that the
Provider has failed to meet the good faith effort requirements, the Provider will be given an
opportunity for reconsideration by the Director of the appropriate Division.
NOTE: The Provider must not cause or allow subproviders to bid their services.
b. The preceding information shall be submitted directly to the Chair of the Consultant Selection Team
responsible for the project.
c. The Provider shall make all reasonable efforts to honor commitments to DBE subproviders named in the
commitment submitted under Section 2.c. of this attachment. Where the Provider terminates or removes a
DBE subprovider named in the initial commitment, the Provider must demonstrate on a case-by-case basis to
the satisfaction of the department that the originally designated DBE was not able or willing to perform.
d. The Provider shall make a good faith effort to replace a DBE subprovider that is unable or unwilling to
perform successfully with another DBE, to the extent needed to meet the contract goal. The Provider shall
submit a completed Exhibit H-2 Form for the substitute firm(s). Any substitution of DBEs shall be subject to
prior written approval by the Department. The Department may request a statement from the firm being
replaced concerning its replacement prior to approving the substitution.
Page 2 of 4 Attachment H -FG
Contract No.
e. The Provider shall designate a DBE liaison officer who will administer the DBE program and who will be
responsible for maintenance of records of efforts and contacts made to subcontract with DBEs.
f. Providers are encouraged to investigate the services offered by banks owned and controlled by disadvantaged
individuals and to make use of these banks where feasible.
6) ELIGIBILITY OF DBEs.
a. The Department certifies the eligibility of DBEs, DBE joint ventures and DBE truck -owner operators to
perform DBE subcontract work on DOT financially assisted contracts.
b. This certification will be accomplished through the use of the appropriate certification schedule contained in
this Department's DBE program.
c. The Department publishes a Directory of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises containing the names of firms
that have been certified to be eligible to participate as DBEs on DOT financially assisted contracts. The
directory is available from the Department's Business Opportunity Programs Office. The Texas Unified
Certification Program DBE Directory can be found on the Internet at:
http://www.dot.state.tx.us/services/business opportunity urograms/tucp dbe directory.htm .
d. Only DBE firms certified at the time the contract is signed or at the time the commitments are submitted are
eligible to be used in the information furnished by the Provider as required under Section 2.c. and 5.d. above.
For purposes of the DBE goal on this contract, DBEs will only be allowed to perform work in the categories
of work for which they were certified.
7) DETERMINATION OF DBE PARTICIPATION.
A firm must be an eligible DBE and perform a professional or technical function relating to the project. Once a
firm is determined to be an eligible DBE, the total amount paid to the DBE for work performed with his/her own
forces is counted toward the DBE goal. 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 subprovider is itself a
DBE. Work that a DBE subcontracts to a non -DBE firm does not count toward DBE goals.
A DBE subprovider may subcontract no more than 70% of a federal aid contract. The DBE subprovider shall
perform not less than 30% of the value of the contract work with assistance of employees employed and paid
directly by the DBE; and equipment owned or rented directly by the DBE. DBE subproviders must perform a
commercially useful function required in the contract in order for payments to be credited toward meeting the
contract goal. A DBE performs a commercially useful function when it is responsible for executing 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 must 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. When a DBE is presumed not to be
performing a commercially useful function, the DBE may present evidence to rebut this presumption.
A Provider may count toward its DBE goal a portion of the total value of the contract amount paid to a DBE
joint venture equal to the distinct, clearly defined portion of the work of the contract performed by the DBE.
Proof of payment, such as copies of canceled checks, properly identifying the Department's contract number or
project number may be required to substantiate the payment, as deemed necessary by the Department.
8) RECORDS AND REPORTS.
a. After submission of the initial commitment reported (Exhibit H-1), required by Section 2.c. of this
attachment, the Provider shall submit Monthly Progress Assessment Reports (Exhibit H-3), after contract
work begins, on DBE involvement to meet the goal and for race -neutral participation. One copy of each
report is to be sent to the Department's Business Opportunity Programs Office monthly, in addition one copy
is to be submitted with the Provider's invoice. Only actual payments made to subproviders are to be
reported. These reports will be required until all subprovider activity is completed. The Department may
verify the amounts being reported as paid to DBEs by requesting copies of canceled checks paid to DBEs on
a random basis.
b. DBE subproviders should be identified on the report by name, type of work being performed, the amount of
actual payment made to each during the billing period, cumulative payment amount and percentage of the
total contract amount. These reports will be due within fifteen (15) days after the end of a calendar month.
Reports are required even when no DBE activity has occurred in a billing period.
Page 3 of 4 Attachment H -FG
Contract No.
c. All such records must be retained for a period of seven (7) years following final payment or until any
investigation, audit, examination, or other review undertaken during the seven (7) years is completed, and
shall be available at reasonable times and places for inspection by authorized representatives of the
Department or the DOT.
d. Prior to receiving final payment, the Provider shall submit a Final Report (Exhibit H-4), detailing the DBE
payments. The Final Report is to be sent to the Department's Business Opportunity Programs Office and one
(1) copy to be submitted with the Provider's final invoice. If the DBE goal requirement is not met,
documentation of the good faith efforts made to meet the goal must be submitted with the Final Report.
9) COMPLIANCE OF PROVIDER. To ensure that DBE requirements of this DOT -assisted contract are
complied with, the Department will monitor the Provider's efforts to involve DBEs during the performance of
this contract. This will be accomplished by a review of Monthly Progress Assessment Reports (Exhibit H-3),
submitted to the Department's Business Opportunity Programs Office by the Provider indicating his progress in
achieving the DBE contract goal, and by compliance reviews conducted by the Department. The Monthly
Progress Assessment Report (Exhibit H-3) must be submitted at a minimum monthly to the Business
Opportunity Programs Office, in addition to with each invoice to the appropriate agency contact.
The Provider shall receive credit toward the DBE goal based on actual payments to the DBE subproviders with
the following exceptions and only if the arrangement is consistent with standard industry practice. The Provider
shall contact the Department if he/she withholds or reduces payment to any DBE subprovider.
(1) A DBE firm is paid but does not assume contractual responsibility for performing the service;
(2) A DBE firm does not perform a commercially useful function;
(3) Payment is made to a DBE that cannot be linked by an invoice or canceled check to the contract under
which credit is claimed;
(4) Payment is made to a broker or a firm with a brokering -type operation;
(5) Partial credit is allowed, in the amount of the fee or commission provided the fee or commission does not
exceed that customarily allowed for similar services, for a bona fide service, such as professional,
technical, consultant, or managerial services, and assistance in the procurement of essential personnel,
facilities, equipment, materials, or supplies required for performance of the contract.
A Provider's failure to comply with the requirements of this Special Provision shall constitute a material breach
of this contract. In such a case, the Department reserves the right to terminate the contract; to deduct the amount
of DBE goal not accomplished by DBEs from the money due or to become due the Provider, not as a penalty but
as liquidated damages to the Department; or such other remedy or remedies as the Department deems
appropriate.

ATTACHMENT H -FN
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) for Race -Neutral Professional or Technical Services Contracts
It is the policy of the U. S. Department of Transportation (DOT) that DBEs as defined in 49 CFR Part 26, Subpart A,
be given the opportunity to compete fairly for contracts and subcontracts financed in whole or in part with Federal
funds and that a maximum feasible portion of the Department's overall DBE goal be met using race -neutral means.
Consequently, if there is no DBE goal, the DBE requirements of 49 CFR Part 26, apply to this contract as follows:
The Provider will offer DBEs as defined in 49 CFR Part 26, Subpart A, the opportunity to compete fairly for
contracts and subcontracts financed in whole or in part with federal funds. Race -Neutral DBE participation on
projects with no DBE goal should be reported on the Exhibit H-3 Form. Payments to DBEs reported on Exhibit H-3
are subject to the following requirements:
DETERMINATION OF DBE PARTICIPATION.
A firm must be an eligible DBE and perform a professional or technical function relating to the project.
Once a firm is determined to be an eligible DBE, the total amount paid to the DBE for work performed with
his/her own forces must be reported as race -neutral DBE participation. When a DBE subcontracts part of the
work of its contract to another firm, the value of the subcontracted work should not be reported unless the
subcontractor is itself a DBE.
A DBE subprovider may subcontract no more than 70% of a federal aid contract. The DBE subprovider
shall perform not less than 30% of the value of the contract work with assistance of employees employed and
paid directly by the DBE; and equipment owned or rented directly by the DBE. DBE subproviders must
perform a commercially useful function required in the contract. 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 must 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. When a DBE is presumed not to be performing a
commercially useful function, the DBE may present evidence to rebut this presumption.
A Provider must report a portion of the total value of the contract amount paid to a DBE joint venture equal
to the distinct, clearly defined portion of the work of the contract performed by the DBE.
Proof of payment, such as copies of canceled checks, properly identifying the Department's contract number
or project number may be required to substantiate the payment, as deemed necessary by the Department.
The Provider and any subprovider shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin or sex in the
award and performance of contracts. These requirements shall be physically included in any subcontract.
Failure to carry out the requirements set forth above shall constitute a material breach of this contract and, may result
in termination of the contract by the Department or other such remedy as the Department deems appropriate.
