NOTICE TO BIDDERS Minnesota Statutes that require prompt payment to subcontractors: 471.425 Prompt payment of local government bills. Subd. 1. Definitions. For the purposes of this section, the following terms have the meanings here given them.

(d) "Municipality" means any home rule charter or statutory city, county, town, school district, political subdivision or agency of local government. "Municipality" means the metropolitan council or any board or agency created under chapter 473.

Subd. 4a. Prompt payment to subcontractors. Each contract of a municipality must require the prime contractor to pay any subcontractor within ten days of the prime contractor's receipt of payment from the municipality for undisputed services provided by the subcontractor. The contract must require the prime contractor to pay interest of 1-1/2 percent per month or any part of a month to the subcontractor on any undisputed amount not paid on time to the subcontractor. The minimum monthly interest penalty payment for an unpaid balance of $100 or more is $10. For an unpaid balance of less than $100, the prime contractor shall pay the actual penalty due to the subcontractor. A subcontractor who prevails in a civil action to collect interest penalties from a prime contractor must be awarded its costs and disbursements, including attorney's fees, incurred in bringing the action.

Basis of Payment and Schedule The work performed and materials furnished in accordance with this Item and measured as provided under “Measurement” will be paid for at the Distributed Lump Sum price bid for “Temporary Storm Water Management” as percentage payments from expected months of temporary land disturbance activities divided into total lump sum. Month project intervals shall be determined at the preconstruction, critical path meeting or as appropriate for initial distributed payment.

a. Initiation of Distributed Lump Sum Payment. Payment for this Item will begin on the first month estimate after all control measures have been installed in accordance with the SWPPP narrative as provided in the plans and specifications and the commencement of construction as defined in the NPDES permit.

b. Paid Months. Monthly payment will be made each succeeding month for this Item provided that the SWPPP has been updated and control measures have been installed and maintained in accordance with the NPDES permit until the Contract Distributed Lump Sum Payment amount has been paid.

If the Contractor fails to update the SWPPP, and provide and properly maintained control measures in compliance with the Contract and permit requirements, as determined by the Engineer, the Contractor will be considered in noncompliance with this Item. Payment will be adjusted, as shown below, for the month(s) in question, and the total final payment quantity will be reduced by the adjustment reduction.

The following schedule of reduced payment will apply for noncompliance on corrections which take longer than 48 hours (2 Days) to correct.



S-13

(1) Between 48 and 72 hrs. (3 calendar days) = Loss of 10% of monthly payment. (2) Between 72 and 96 hrs. (4 calendar days) = Loss of 20% of monthly payment. (3) Between 96 and 120 hrs. (5 calendar days) = Loss of 30% of monthly payment. (4) Between 120 and 144 hrs. (6 calendar days) = Loss of 40% of monthly payment. (5) After 144 hrs. (6 calendar days) = Loss of 50% of monthly payment. (6) After 7 calendar days = Loss of one month's payment and all work will cease, time charges will continue until brought into compliance and is documented as per Method of Measure after MNDOT review.

Reduced payments do not release the contractor of liability for noncompliance.

c. Total Distributed Lump Sum Payment Quantity. The quantity paid under this Item will not exceed the total Lump Sum except as modified by change order and as adjusted by B. “Paid Months.” An overrun of the plans quantity for this Item will not be allowed for approving designs; testing; material shortages; closed construction seasons; establishment, performance, test, and maintenance periods; failure to complete the work in the number of months allotted; nor delays caused directly or indirectly by requirements of the contract.

e. Balance Due. If all work is completed in accordance with the NPDES permit, plans and accepted by the Engineer and before payment of the amount allowed by this Special Provision, the balance due will be paid on the next estimate after the Engineer’s approval that there is no more temporary land disturbance activities, 70% native background vegetative cover is met or equivalent permanent stabilization have been employed in accordance with the NPDES permit and project plans.

The 2575.601 Lump Sum price is full compensation for installation, maintenance, monitoring, adjustments, replacements, removal, materials, equipment, labor, tools, watering to establish temporary control measures, sprinkling for dust control, training, and incidentals. BMP items, along other temporary stabilization, sediment control, or water quality damage caused by contractor actions or inactions will not be measured nor paid for separately.

The pumper nozzle shall be factory painted in accordance with the City standard to identify the hydrant as having a plugged drain hole and needing to be pumped out after use.

SALT SCHEDULE OF MATERIALS CONTROL LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCY

ATT-4

SALT Schedule of Materials Control - Local Government Agency

1603.2 SAMPLING AND TESTING - INSERT INTO SPECIAL PROVISIONS

The first paragraph is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

Certified Sources

The SMC - LGA serves as a guide for material testing with allowable acceptance "as directed by the

Engineer" detailed in Specification 1501.1(1) - Authority of the Engineer. These testing rates are a minimum

and additional tests may be taken at the Engineer's discretion. A minimal testing rate does not always ensure

a quality product; field observations and attention to detail is crucial. Materials not listed on an approved

products list may be sampled and tested as directed by the Engineer. Materials listed on a Qualified Products

list may be accepted or tested at the discretion of the Engineer.

Federal Aid projects require Independent Assurance Inspection. Contact the MnDOT District IA Inspector

when the job starts to provide the proper servicing of your project.

This Schedule of Materials Control (SMC) outlines the minimum testing requirements for State Aid Funded

and/or Federal Aid Projects off the National Highway and Trunk Highway System. Optional to this SMC is the

MnDOT Materials Control Schedule. Usage of either schedule must be defined in the project proposal.

Quality assurance (QA) is a process-centered approach to ensuring that the best possible products or

services are provided. Related to quality control, quality assurance focuses on enhancing and improving the

process that is used to create the end result, rather than focusing on the result itself. Among the parts of the

process that are considered in QA are planning, design, development, production and service.

Quality control (QC) is a process that is used to ensure a certain level of quality in a product or service. It

includes actions deemed necessary to provide for the control and verification of certain characteristics of a

product or service. It involves thoroughly examining and testing the quality of products or the results of

services. The basic goal of quality control is to ensure that the products or services that are provided meet

specific requirements and characteristics.

Certified Sources must comply with each individual product's defined "certification procedure". Acceptance of

products from certified sources follows the same sampling and testing as "qualified" products.

Sampling and testing of materials for this project will be in accordance with the State Aid

for Local Transportation (SALT) “Schedule of Materials Control – Local Government

Agency” (SMC-LGA). The SMC-LGA establishes the size of samples and the minimum rate

of testing. The SMC-LGA references the 2014 MnDOT Standard Specifications for

Construction and does not set contract requirements for the material.

Products are predicted to meet all applicable standards and specifications, but random sample testing is

required to verify specific product lots meet specifications prior to usage. These products are generally

considered to be "qualified" but not approved until tested for compliance. Successfully tested products lots are

considered to be "approved". The approval process for the individual product should specify any further

testing requirements for the product.

SALT Construction Website

Approved Products List

Qualified Products List

Products are"approved" when they have been found to routinely meet all applicable standards and

specifications. The product is placed on the list based upon established successful manufacturer's quality

control and warranties, but the listing may expire or require periodic renewal to verify the product has not

changed over time. The approval process for the individual product should specify any expiration requirement.

Definitions

Schedule of Materials Control (SMC) are inserted into project proposals to direct how materials are to be

sampled. The SMC is updated yearly. Each SMC is project specific. Therefore, one needs to refer to their

specific proposal.

aggregate incentive calculations as verified by Agency testing.

NOTE (2): Sample and test Coarse Aggregate -200 testing at the same rates as gradation testing. Test the

first sample and then at least 1 of the next 3 samples on the first day of production and each time the

Contractor mobilizes the plant, changes the aggregate sources, or the cleanliness of the coarse aggregate is

in question. Test these samples at the plant.

NOTE (3): Complete the initial moisture content and adjust the batch water prior to the start of concrete

production each day. If weather conditions allow, performing moisture testing on representative material at

the end of production the prior evening is allowed.

Prior to concrete production: Test the Agency's pre-production sample at the

Contractor's discretion. During concrete production: Test the -200 on the

quality companion sample the day it was sampled. All other testing is at the

Contractor's discretion.
