The drawings, specifications, and electronic files are property of the Engineer. They remain the sole property thereof and are not to be used, except as covered herein without due compensation. They are covered by copyright. The undersigned agrees to use these files in preparation of shop drawing submittals and/or “As-Built” drawing submittals only, unless specific authorization is requested in writing and acknowledged in writing. We the undersigned corporation agree to indemnify and hold Stridde, Callins & Associates, Inc. the Engineer, and the Architects harmless from any and all claims, damages, losses, and expenses including but not limited to attorney’s fees arising out of the use of the referenced project AutoCAD drawing files for the listed purposes.

Addenda information or revisions made after the date indicated on the CAD files may not have been incorporated. In the event of a conflict between the AOR’s sealed contract drawings and CAD files, the sealed contract drawings shall govern. It is the Proposer’s responsibility to determine if any conflicts exist. The CAD files shall not be considered to be Contract Documents as defined by the General Conditions of the Contract for Construction.

7.

8. The Proposer shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the AOR, and its sub consultants from any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses, penalties and liabilities of any kind, including attorney’s fees, arising out of or resulting from the use of the CAD files by the Proposer, or by third party recipients of the CAD files from the Proposer.

It is imperative that Proposer’s operations and the performance of the Work not interfere with, interrupt, disturb, or disrupt Owner’s normal operations or facilities. Proposer recognizes that the ongoing activities in proximity with its construction activities shall result in the need for prompt and effective coordination of its services with those involved in the ongoing utilization of the premises. Such coordination and adequate site access shall be the responsibility of the Proposer. Proposer understands and accepts the difficulties and costs associated with working in an existing facility and the potential for delays and disruptions in its Work. Proposer has included such items in the Contract Time and the Contract Sum. The Proposer shall perform all the Work in such a manner as to cause minimum interference with the operations of the Owner and other proposers and Subcontractors on the site, and shall take, and cause the Proposer’s and its Subcontractor’s employees, agents, licensees and permittees to take all necessary precautions to protect the Work and the site and all persons and property thereon from damage or injury.

Certain elements of the Work, including demolition and installation of ductwork, must be accomplished within the public-accessible space. Museum maintenance staff is normally onsite before 7:00 a.m. and until 9:00 p.m. Special accommodation can be made to work with the proposer for extended hours before and after those hours for such work in order to eliminate safety issues and/ or to reduce inconvenience to the public.

substitution that the Subcontractor/Supplier would for that specified; 3. certifies that the cost data presented is complete and includes all related costs under

this Contract except the Architect's redesign costs, and waives all claims for additional costs related to the substitution which subsequently become apparent; and

4. will coordinate the installation of the accepted substitute, making such changes as may be required for the Work to be complete in all respects.

If a substitution is required due to the delay or other cause by the proposer, subcontractor, supplier and manufacturer, the original invoice of the products (including quantities and unit prices) shall be submitted to the Architect for review prior to payment being made by the Owner.

The Proposer shall enforce strict discipline and good order among the Proposer’s employees and other persons carrying out the Work. The Proposer shall not permit employment of unfit persons or persons not properly skilled in tasks assigned to them. The Proposer shall be responsible for the actions of Proposer’s forces, Subcontractor’s forces and all tiers of Sub-subcontractor’s forces. The Proposer will prohibit the possession or use of alcohol, controlled substances, tobacco, and any prohibited weapons on the Project Site and shall require adequate dress of the Proposer’s forces consistent with the nature of the Work being performed, including wearing shirts at all times.

THE PROPOSER RELEASES, INDEMNIFIES AND HOLDS HARMLESS THE OWNER FOR PROPOSER’S FORCES’ NON-COMPLIANCE WITH OWNER’S DRUG-FREE, ALCOHOL-FREE, WEAPON-FREE, HARASSMENT-FREE AND TOBACCO-FREE ZONES, OR PROPOSER’S FORCES’ NON-COMPLIANCE WITH CRIMINAL LAW, OR PROPOSER’S OR SUBCONTRACTOR’S FORCES’ NON-COMPLIANCE WITH IMMIGRATION LAWS OR REGULATIONS. Any individual found by Owner to have violated these restrictions is subject to permanent removal from the Project, at Owner’s request. Proposer shall place similar language in its subcontract agreements, requiring its Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors to be responsible for their own forces and Proposer shall cooperate with the Owner to ensure Subcontractor and Sub-subcontractor compliance.

The Proposer shall comply with the applicable provisions of the Drug-Free Work Place Act of 1988 (Public Law 100-690, Title V, Subtitle D; 41 U.S.C. 701 ET SEQ.) and maintain a drug-free work environment; and the final rule, government-wide requirements for drug-free work place (grants), issued by the Office of Management and Budget and the Department of Defense (32 CFR Part 280, Subpart F) to implement the provisions of the Drug-Free Work



Place Act of 1988 is incorporated by reference and the Proposer shall comply with the relevant provisions thereof, including any amendments to the final rule that may hereafter be issued.

Prevailing Wage- Attention is called to the Texas Government Code, Chapter 2258, Prevailing Wage Rates (the “Chapter”). Among other things, the Chapter provides that it shall be mandatory upon the Proposer and upon any subcontractor under him to pay not less than the prevailing rates of per diem wages in the locality at the time of construction to all laborers, workmen, and mechanics employed by them in the execution of the Contract.

In accordance therewith, the Owner has established a scale of prevailing wages as determined by the United States Department of Labor in accordance with the Davis-Bacon Act (20 U.S.C. section 276a et. seq.) and not less than this established scale must be paid on the Project.

Contract; and 2. All persons (including subcontractors) assigned by the Respondent to perform work

pursuant to the Contract, within the United States of America.

The Proposer shall provide, upon request of (agency name), an electronic or hardcopy screenshot of the confirmation or tentative non-confirmation screen containing the E-Verify case verification number for attachment to the Form I-9 for the three most recent hires that match the criteria above, by the Proposer, and Proposer’s subcontractors, as proof that this provision is being followed. If this certification is falsely made, the Contract may be immediately terminated, at the discretion of the state and at no fault to the state, with no prior notification.

The Owner represents that this Project is eligible for exemption for the State Sales Tax on tangible personal property and material incorporated in the project, provided that the Proposer fulfills the requirements of the Limited Sale, Excise and Use Tax Rules and Regulations. For the purpose of establishing exemption, it is understood and agreed that the Proposer may be required to segregate materials and labor costs at the time a Contract is awarded, and will accept a Certificate of Exemption from the Owner.

The Certificate of Completion will be submitted upon final testing of all systems installed under this proposal.

4.2 Substantial Completion

If, in Architect's opinion during the Substantial Completion inspection, the Project or the designated portion thereof which Owner has agreed to accept separately is not sufficiently complete to warrant inspection, or if the list of items to be completed or corrected is not sufficiently complete, then Architect may terminate the inspection and inform the Proposer to make the Project ready for inspection and resubmit an amended list of items to be completed or corrected.

The Proposer and the Architect will promptly reply to the Owner in writing stating whether or not either has a reasonable objection to the persons or entities proposed by the Owner. If either the Proposer or Architect has an objection to a person or entity proposed by the Owner, the Owner shall propose another to whom the Proposer and the Architect have no reasonable objection.

6.3 WORKERS’ COMPENSATION INSURANCE COVERAGE

Definitions:

Certificate of coverage (“certificate”) - A copy of a certificate of insurance, a certificate of authority to self-insure issued by the Texas Workers’ Compensation Commission, or a coverage agreement (TWCC-81, TWCC-82, TWCC-83, or TWCC-84), showing statutory workers’ compensation insurance coverage for the person’s or entity’s employees providing services on the Project, for the duration of the Project. “Duration of the Project” - includes the time from the beginning of the work on the Project until the Proposer’s work on the project has been completed and accepted by the Owners. “Persons providing services on the Project” (“subcontractor” in Texas Labor Code Section 406.096) - includes all persons or entities performing all or part of the services the Proposer has undertaken to perform on the Project, regardless of whether that person contracted directly with the Proposer and regardless of whether that person has employees. This includes, without limitation, independent proposers, subcontractors, leasing companies, motor carriers, owner-operators, employees of any such entity, or employees of any entity which furnishes persons to provide services on the Project. “Services” - include, without limitation, providing, hauling, or delivering equipment or materials, or providing labor, transportation, or other services related to the Project. Services do not include activities unrelated to the Project, such as food/beverage vendors, office supply deliveries, and delivery of portable toilets.

The Proposer shall provide coverage, based on proper reporting of classification codes and payroll amounts and filing of any coverage agreements, which meets the statutory requirements of Texas Labor Code, Section 401.011(44) for all employees of the Proposer providing services on the Project for the duration of the Project.

The Proposer must provide a certificate of coverage to the Owner prior to being awarded the Contract.

If the coverage period shown on the Proposer’s current certificate of coverage ends during the duration of the Project, the Proposer must, prior to the end of the coverage period, file a new certificate of coverage with the Owner showing that coverage has been extended.

The Proposer shall obtain from each person providing services on the Project, and provide to the Owner:

1. A certificate of coverage, prior to that person beginning work on the Project, so the

Owner will have on file certificates of coverage showing coverage for all persons providing services on the Project; and

2. No later than seven days after receipt by the Proposer, an new certificate of coverage showing extension of coverage, if the coverage period shown on the current certificate of coverage ends during the duration of the Project.



The Proposer shall retain all required certificates of coverage for the duration of the Project and for one year thereafter.

The Proposer shall notify the Owner in writing by certified mail or personal delivery, within ten (10) days after the Proposer knew or should have known, of any change that materially affects the provision of coverage of any person providing services on the Project.

The Proposer shall post on the Project site, a notice, in the text, form, and manner prescribed by the Texas Workers’ Compensation Commission, informing all persons providing services on the Project that they are required to be covered, and stating how a person may verify coverage and report lack of coverage.

The Proposer shall contractually require each person with whom it contracts to provide services on the Project to:

1. Provide coverage, based on proper reporting of classification codes and payroll

amounts and filing of any coverage agreements, which meets the statutory requirements of Texas Labor Code Section 401.011(44) for all of its employees providing services on the Project for the duration of the Project;

2. Provide to the Proposer, prior to that person beginning work on the Project, a certificate of coverage showing that coverage is being provided for all employees of the person providing services on the Project for the duration of the Project;

3. Provide the Proposer, prior to the end of the coverage period, a new certificate of coverage showing extension of coverage, if the coverage period shown on the current certificate of coverage ends during the duration of the Project;

4. Obtain from each other person with whom it contracts, and provide to the Proposer: a. A certificate of coverage, prior to the other person beginning work on the

Project; and b. A new certificate of coverage showing extension of coverage, prior to the end

of the coverage period, if the coverage period shown on the current certificate of coverage ends during the duration of the Project;

5. Retain all required certificates of coverage on file for the duration of the Project and for one year thereafter;

6. Notify the Owner in writing by certified mail or personal delivery, within ten days after the person knew or should have known, of any change that materially affects the provision of coverage of any person providing services on the Project; and

7. Contractually require each person with whom it contracts, to perform as required by items (1) – (6) listed immediately above, with the certificates of coverage to be provided to the person for whom they are providing the services.

By signing this Contract or providing or causing to be provided a certificate of coverage, the Proposer is representing to the Owner that all employees of the Proposer who will provide services on the Project will be covered by workers’ compensation insurance coverage for the duration of the Project, that the coverage will be based on proper reporting of classification codes and payroll amounts, and that all coverage agreements will be filed with the appropriate insurance carrier or, in the case of a self-insured, with the Texas Workers’ Compensation Commission’s Division of Self-Insurance Regulation. Providing false or misleading information may subject the Proposer to administrative penalties, criminal penalties, civil penalties, or other civil actions.



The Proposer’s failure to comply with any of these provisions is a breach of contract by the Proposer which entitles the Owner to declare this Contract void if the Proposer does not remedy the breach within ten (10) days after receipt of notice of breach from the Owner.

The coverage requirement recited above does not apply to sole proprietors, partners, and corporate officers who are excluded from coverage in an insurance policy or certificate of authority to self-insure that is delivered, issued for delivery, or renewed on or after January 1, 1996.

SECTION 00830 ATTACHMENT I

PREVAILING WAGE RATE DETERMINATION INFORMATION Chapter 2258, Texas Government Code, Title 10 requires that state agencies, (including universities), cities, counties, independent school districts, and all other political subdivisions that engage in public works construction projects produce and include prevailing wage rate determinations in the project bidding and contract documents. Chapter 2258 requires that the contractor who is awarded a contract by a public body and a contractor’s subcontractor shall pay not less than the rates determined by such state agencies to workers employed for the execution of such work. Pursuant to Chapter 2258, Texas Historical Commission has ascertained the following wages to be paid for the various classifications of workers, in the locality of this project. In determining these wages, THC has utilized the Prevailing Wage Rates as determined by the U.S. DOL in accordance with the Davis-Bacon Act. Find the current wage rates for the county where the project is located at the following website: http://www.access.gpo.gov/davisbacon/TX.html Prevailing Wage Rates General Decision Number: TX150176 01/02/2015 TX176 Superseded General Decision Number: TX20140176 State: Texas Construction Type: Building County: Gillespie County in Texas. BUILDING CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS (does not include single family homes or apartments up to and including 4 stories). Note: Executive Order (EO) 13658 establishes an hourly minimum wage of $10.10 for 2015 that applies to all contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act for which the solicitation is issued on or after January 1, 2015. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must pay all workers in any classification listed on this wage determination at least $10.10 (or the applicable wage rate listed on this wage determination, if it is higher) for all hours spent performing on the contract. The EO minimum wage rate will be adjusted annually. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate

(weighted union average rate). Union Rate Identifiers A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" or "UAVG" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example: PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014. Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate. Survey Rate Identifiers Classifications listed under the "SU" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted. Union Average Rate Identifiers Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage

determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based. ---------------------------------------------------------------- WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS 1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be: * an existing published wage determination * a survey underlying a wage determination * a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter * a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.) and 3.) should be followed. With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to: Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210 2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to: Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

3. Cut through concrete and masonry using a cutting machine, such as a Carborundum saw or a diamond-core drill.

4. Comply with requirements of applicable Division 2 Sections where cutting and patching requires excavating and backfilling.

5. Where services are required to be removed, relocated, or abandoned, by-pass utility services, such as pipe or conduit, before cutting. Cut-off pipe or conduit in walls or partitions to be removed. Cap, valve, or plug and seal the remaining portion of pipe or conduit to prevent entrance of moisture or other foreign matter after by-passing and cutting.

C. Patching: Patch with durable seams that are as invisible as possible. Comply with

specified tolerances. 1. Where feasible, inspect and test patched areas to demonstrate integrity of

the installation. 2. Restore exposed finishes of patched areas and extend finish restoration

into retained adjoining construction in a manner that will eliminate evidence of patching and refinishing.

3. Where removing walls or partitions extends from one finished area into another, patch and repair floor and wall surfaces in the new space. Provide an even surface of uniform color and appearance. Remove existing floor and wall coverings and replace with new materials, if necessary, to achieve uniform color and appearance. Where patching occurs in a smooth painted surface, extend final paint coat over entire unbroken surface containing the patch after the area has received primer and second coat.

4. Patch, repair, or re-hang existing ceilings as necessary to provide an even-plane surface of uniform appearance.

3.4 CLEANING

Clean areas and spaces where cutting and patching are performed. Completely remove paint, mortar, oils, putty, and similar items. Thoroughly clean piping, conduit, and similar

01045 - 4 of 4

features before applying paint or other finishing materials. Restore damaged pipe covering to its original condition.
