EXHIBIT F— CERTIFICATION FOR FEDERAL-AID CONTRACTS The Local Agency certifies, by signing this Agreement, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that: No Federal appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid, by or on behalf or the undersigned, to any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any Federal agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in connection with the awarding of any Federal loan, the entering into of any cooperative agreement, and the extension, continuation, renewal, amendment, or mod�cation of any Federal contract, Agreement, loan, or cooperative agreement. If any funds other than Federal appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid to any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in connection with this Federal contract, Agreement, loan, or cooperative agreement, the undersigned shall complete and submit Standard Form-LLL, "Disclosure Form to Report Lobbying," in accordance with its instructions. This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when this transaction was made or entered into. Submission of this certification is a prerequisite for making or entering into this transaction imposed by Section 1352, Title 31, U.S. Code.

The prospective participant also agree by submitting his or her bid or proposal that he or she shall require that the language of this certification be included in all lower tier subcontracts, which exceed $100,000 and that all such sub-recipients shall certify and disclose accordingly. Required by 23 CFR 635.112 Exhibit F— Page 1 of 1 34. EXHIBIT G— DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE SECTION 1. Poiicy It is the policy of the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) that disadvantaged business enterprises shall have the maximum opportunity to participate in the perFormance of contracts financed in whole or in part with Federal funds under this agreement, pursuant to 49 CFR Part 23. Consequently, the 49 CFR Part IE DBE requirements the Colorado Department of Transportation DBE Program (or a Local Agency DBE Program approved in advance by the State) apply to this agreement. SECTION 2. DBE Obliqation. The recipient or its the Local Agency agrees to ensure that disadvantaged business enterprises as determined by the Office of Certification at the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies have the maximum opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts and subcontracts financed in whole or in part with Federal funds provided under this agreement. In this regard, all participants or contractors shall take all necessary and reasonable steps in accordance with the CDOT DBE program (or a Local Agency DBE Program approved in advance by the State) to ensure that disadvantaged business enterprises have the maximum opportunity to compete for and perform contracts. Recipients and their contractors shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the award and performance of CDOT assisted contracts. SECTION 3 DBE Proqram. The Local Agency (sub-recipient) shall be responsible for obtaining the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program of the Colorado Department of Transportation, 1988, as amended, and shall comply with the applicable provisions of the program. (If applicable). A copy of the DBE Program is available from and will be mailed to the Local Agency upon request: Business Programs Office Colorado Department of Transportation 4201 East Arkansas Avenue, Room 287 Denver, Colorado 80222-3400 Phone: (303) 757-9234 revised 1/22/98 Required by 49 CFR Part 23.41 Exhibit G- Page 1 of 1 35. EXHIBIT H— LOCAL AGENCY PROCEDURES FOR CONSULTANT SERVICES THE LOCAL AGENCY SHALL USE THESE PROCEDURES TO IMPLEMENT FEDERAL-AID PROJECT AGREEMENTS WITH PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANT SERVICES Title 23 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 172 applies to a federally funded local agency project agreement administered by CDOT that involves professional consultant services. 23 CFR 172.1 states "The policies and procedures involve federally funded contracts for engineering and design related services for projects subject to the provisions of 23 U.S.C. 112(a) and are issued to ensure that a qualified consultant is obtained through an equitable selection process, that prescribed work is properly accomplished in a timely manner, and at fair and reasonable cost" and according to 23 CFR 172.5 "Price shall not be used as a factor in the analysis and selection phase." Therefore, local agencies must comply with these CFR requirements when obtaining professional consultant services under a federally funded consultant contract administered by CDOT. CDOT has formulated its procedures in Procedural Directive (P.D.) 400.1 and the related operations guidebook titled "Obtaining Professional Consultant Services". This directive and guidebook incorporate requirements from both Federal and State regulations, i.e., 23 CFR 172 and CRS §24-30-1401 et seq. Copies of the directive and the guidebook may be obtained upon request from CDOT's Agreements and Consultant Management Unit. [Local agencies should have their own written procedures on file for each method of procurement that addresses the items in 23 CFR 172]. Because the procedures and laws described in the Procedural Directive and the guidebook are quite lengthy, the subsequent steps serve as a short-hand guide to CDOT procedures that a local agency must follow in obtaining professional consultant services. This guidance follows the format of 23 CFR 172. The steps are: 1. The contracting local agency shall document the need for obtaining professional services. 2. Prior to solicitation for consultant services, the contracting local agency shall develop a detailed scope of work and a list of evaluation factors and their relative importance. The evaluation factors are those identified in C.R.S. 24-30-1403. Also, a detailed cost estimate should be prepared for use during negotiations. 3. The contracting agency must advertise for contracts in conformity with the requirements of C.R.S. 24-30-1405. The public notice period, when such notice is required, is a minimum of 15 days prior to the selection of the three most qualified firms and the advertising should be done in one or more daily newspapers of general circulation. 4. The request for consultant services should include the scope of work, the evaluation factors and their relative importance, the method of payment, and the goal of 10% for Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation as a minimum for the project. 5. The analysis and selection of the consultants shall be done in accordance with CRS §24-30- 1403. This section of the regulation identifies the criteria to be used in the evaluation of CDOT pre-qualified prime consultants and their team. It also shows which criteria are used to short- list and to make a final selection. The short-list is based on the following evaluation factors: a. Qualifications, b. Approach to the Work, c. Ability to furnish professional services. d. Anticipated design concepts, and e. Alternative methods of approach for furnishing the professional services. Exhibit H- Page 1 of 2 Evaluation factors for final selection are the consultant's: a. Abilities of their personnel, b. Past performance, c. Willingness to meet the time and budget requirement, d. Location, e. Current and projected work load, f. Volume of previously awarded contracts, and g. Involvement of minority consultants. 6. Once a consultant is selected, the local agency enters into negotiations with the consultant to obtain a fair and reasonable price for the anticipated work. Pre-negotiation audits are prepared for contracts expected to be greater than $50,000. Federal reimbursements for costs are limited to those costs allowable under the cost principles of 48 CFR 31. Fixed fees (profit) are determined with consideration given to size, complexity, duration, and degree of risk involved in the work. Profit is in the range of six to 15 percent of the total direct and indirect costs. 7. A qualified local agency employee shall be responsible and in charge of the Work to ensure that the work being pursued is complete, accurate, and consistent with the terms, conditions, and specifications of the contract. At the end of Work, the local agency prepares a performance evaluation (a CDOT form is available) on the consultant. 8. Each of the steps listed above is to be documented in accordance with the provisions of 49 CFR 18.42, which provide for records to be kept at least three years from the date that the local agency submits its final expenditure report. Records of projects under litigation shall be kept at least three years after the case has been settled. CRS §§24-30-1401 through 24-30-1408, 23 CFR Part 172, and P.D. 400.1, provide additional details for complying with the preceeding eight (8) steps. Exhibit H- Page 2 of 2 36.

FHWA-1273 Eledronic version — March 10, 1994 (ApplicaWe to all Federal-aid construdion contrads and to all related subcontracts of $10,000 or more.) 1. Equal EmploymeM Opportunity: Equal employmeM opportunity (EEO) requirements not to discriminate and to take affirmative action to assure equal oppoRunity as set forth under laws, executive orders, rules, regulations (28 CFR 35, 29 CFR 1630 and 41 CFR 60) and orders of the Secretary of Labor as modified by the provisions presc�bed herein, and imposed pursuaM to 23 U.S.C. 140 shall constitute ihe EEO and specific affirmative adion standards for the coMractors projed aclivities under this Agreement. The Equal Opportunity Construction Contract Specifications set forth under 41 CFR 60-4.3 and the provisions of the American Disabilities Act oi 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et �.) set forth under 28 CFR 35 and 29 CFR 1630 are incorporated by reference in this Agreement. in the execution of this Agreement, the contraclor agrees to comply with the following minimum specific requirement activities of EEO: a. The contractor will work with the State highway agency (SHA) and the Federal Govemment in carrying out EEO obligations and in their review of his/her activities under the contract. b. The contractor will accept as his operating policy the following stalement: "It is the policy of this Company to assure that applicaMs are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, religion, sex, cdor, national origin, age or disability. Such adion shall inGude: employment, upgrading, demotion, or trensFer, recruitment or recruitment advertising; IayoH or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, inGuding apprenticeship, pre-apprenticeship, and/or on-the-job training" 2. EEO Officer: The contractor will designate and make known to the SHA contracting �cers an EEO Officer who will have the responsibilky for and must be capable of eifectively administering and promoting an active contractor program of EEO and who must be assigned adequate authority and responsibility to do so. 3. Dissemination of Policy: All members of the contradors staff who are authorized to hire, supervise, promote, and discharge employees, or who recommend such action, or who are substantially involved in such adion, will be made fully cognizant of, and will implement, the contractors EEO policy and contradual responsibilities to provide EEO in each grade and dassification of employment. To ensure that the above agreement will be met, the following actions will be taken as a minimum: a. Periodic meetings of supervisory and personnel oKce employees will be conducted before the start of work and then not less often than once every six months, at which time the contradots EEO policy and ks implementation will be reviewed and explained. The meetings will be conduded by the EEO Officer. b. All new supervisory or personnel office employees will be given a thorough indoctrination by the EEO Officer, covering all major aspects of the contractors EEO obligations within thirty days following their reporting for duty with the contractor. c. All personnel who are engaged in dired reuuitment for the project will be instruded by the EEO Officer in the contractors pracedures for locating and hiring minority group employees. d. No6ces and posters setting forth the contradors EEO policy will be placed in areas readily accessible to employees, applicants for employment and potential employees. e. The contradors EEO policy and the procedures to implemeM such policy will be brought to the attention of employees by means of meetings, employee handbooks, or other appropriate means. II. NONDISCRIMINATION 4. Recruitrnent: When adveRising for employees, the contractor will indude in all advertisements for employees the notation: "An Equal Exhibit I- Page 1 of 8 REQUIRED BY 23 CFR 633.102 — OppoAunity Employer." All such adveRisements will be placed in publications having a large dreulation among minority groups in the area from which the projed work force would normally be derived. a. The contrector will, unless preGuded by a valid bargaining agreemeM, conduct systematic and direct recruRment through public and private employee retertal sources likely to yield qualified minority group applicants. To meet this requirement, the contreclor will identify sources of potential minority group employees, and establish with such identified sources procedures whereby minority group applicants may be referred to the contrador for employment consideration. b. In the event the contractor has a valid bargaining agreement providing for exdusive hiring hall referrals, he is expected to observe the provisions of that agreement to the exteM that the system permks the contractors compliance with EEO contract provisions. (The DOL has held that where implemeMations of such agreements have the effed of discriminating against minorities or women, or obligates ihe contrador to do lhe same, such implementation violates Execulive Order 11246, as amended.) c. The contreGor will enwurage his present employees to refer minority group applicants for employment. Information and procedures with regard to referring minority group applicants will be discussed with employees. 5. Personnel Actions: Wages, working conditions, and employee benefits shall be established and administered, and personnel adions of every type, induding hiring, upgrading, promotion, transfer, demotion, layoff, and termination, shall be taken without regard to race, color, religion, sex, nalional origin, age or disability.

The contrador will conduct periodic inspections of project sites to insure that working conditio�s and employee facilities do not indicate discriminatory treatment of project site personnel. b. The contractor will periodically evaluate the spread of wages paid within each Gassification to determine any evidence of discriminatory wage practices. c. The contrador will periodically review seleded personnel actions in depth to determine whether there is evidence of discrimi- nation. Where evidence is found, the contractor will promptly take corredive action. If the review indicates that the discrimination may exlend beyond the adions reviewed, such corredive action shall indude all aifected persons. d. The contrador will promptly investigate all complaints of alleged discrimination made to the coMractor in connedion with his obligations under this Agreement, will atlempt to resolve such complaints, a�d will take appropriate carzedive action within a. reasonable time. If the investigation indicates that the discrimination may affect persons other than the complainant, such corrective action shall inGude such other persons. Upon completion of each investigation, the contractor will inform every complainant of all of his avenues of appeal. 6. Training and PromoUon: a. The contrador will assist in locating, qualifying, and inueasing the skills of minority group and women employees, and applicants for employment. b.

Where feasiWe, 25 percent of apprentices or trainees in each occupation shall be in their first year of apprenticeship or training. In the event a speaal provision for training is provided under this Agreement, this subparagraph will be superseded as indicated in the special provision. c. The contrador will advise employees and applicants for employment of availaWe training programs and entrance requirements for each. d. The contractor will periodically review the training and promoGo� poteMial of minority group and women employees and will encourage eligible employees to apply for such training and promotion. 7.

Adions by ihe contractor either directly or through a contractor's association ading as agent will include the procedures set forth below: a. The contrector will use best efforts to develop, in cooperation with the unions, jant training progrems aimed toward qualifying more minority group members and women for membership in the unions and increasing the skills of minority group employees and women so that they may qualify for higher paying employment. b. The contractor will use best efforts to incorporate an EEO dause into each union agreemeM to the end that such union will be co�tractually bound to refer applicants without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or disability. c. The contrador is to obtain information as to the referral practices and poliaes of the labor union except that to the exterrt such information is within the exdusive possession of the labor union and such labor union refuses to fumish such information to the coMrador, the contrador shall so certify to the SHA and shall set foAh what efforts have been made to obtain such information. d. In the event the union is unade to provide the contrador with a reasonable flow of minority and women referrels within the time limit set forth in the cdlective bargaining agreement, the contrador will, through independent recruitment efforts, fill the employment vacanaes withoul regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or disability; making full efforts to obtai� qual'died and/or qualifiable minority group persons and women. (The DOL has held that it shall be no excuse that the union with which the coMractor has a collective bargaining agreement providing for exclusive refercal failed to refer minority employees.) In the event the union referral pradice prevents the contractor from meeting the obligations pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as ame�ded, and these spedal provisions, such contractor shall immediately notify the SHA. e. Selectlon of SubconUactors, PrceuremeM of Materials and Leasing of Equipment The contrador shall not discriminate on the grounds of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or disability in the selection and reteMion of subcontractors, induding procurement of materials and leases oi equipment. a.

Disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE), as defined in 49 CFR 23, shall have equal opportunity to compete tor and perfortn subcontrects which the contractor enters iMo pursuant to this Agreement. The contractor will use his best etforts to sdicit bids from and to utilize DBE subcontractors or subcontractors with meaningful minority group and female representation among their employees. Contractors shall obtain lists of DBE construction firms from SHA personnel. c. The contrador will use his best efforts to ensure subcontractor compliance with their EEO obligations. 9. Records and Reports: The cornrector shall keep such records as necessary to document compliance with the EEO requirements. Such records shall be retained for a period of three years following completion of the contrect work and shall be available at reaso�able times and places for inspection by authorized representatives oi the SHA and the FHWA. a. The records kept by the contrador shall document the following: (1) The number oi minority and non-minority group members and women employed in each work dassification on the projed; (2) The progress and efforts being made in cooperation with unions, when applicable, to increase employment opportunities for minorities and women; (3) The progress and eHorts being made in locating, hiring, training, qualifying, and upgrading minority and female employees; and (4) The progress and etforts being made in securing the services of DBE subcontradors or subcontractors with meaningful minority and female representaGon among their employees. b. The contractors will submit an annual report to the SHA each July for the duration of the project, indicating the number oF minority, women, and non-minority group employees currently engaged in each work dassification required by the contract work. This infortnation is to Exhibit I- Page 2 of 8 REQUIRED BY 23 CFR 633.102 - be reported on Form FHWA-1391. If on-the job training is being required by spadal provision, the contrador will be required to collect and report training data. III. NONSEGREGATED FACIUTIES (Applicable to all Federal-aid construction contrads and to all related subcontracts of $10,000 or more.) a.

The firm agrees that a breach of this certification is a vidation of the EEO provisions M this Agreement. The firm further certifies that no employee will be denied access to adequate facilities on the basis oi sex or disability. b. As used in this certification, the term "segregated fadlities" means any waiting rooms, work areas, restrooms and washrooms, restaurants and other eating areas, timedocks, Ixker rooms, and other storage or dressing areas, parking lots, drinking fountains, recreation or entertainment areas, transportation, and housing facilities provided for employees which are segregated by explicit directive, or are, in fact, segregated on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, age or disability, because of habit, local custom, or othervvise. The only exception will be for the disabled when the demands for accessibility override (e.g. disaWed parking). c. The contrador agrees that it has obtained or will obtain identical certification from proposed subcontractors or material suppliers prior to award of subcoMracts or consummation of material supply agreements of $10,000 or more and that it will retain such ceAifications in its files. IV. PAYMENT OF PREDETERMINED MINIMUM WAGE (Applicable to all Federal-aid construdion corrtrads exceeding $2,000 and to all related subcordracts, except for projects located on roadways dassified as local roads or rural minor collectors, which are exempt.) 1. General: a. All mechanics and laborers employed or working upon the site of the work will be paid unconditionally and not less oRen than once a week and without subsequent deducGon or rebate on any account jexcept such payrdl dedudions as are permitted by regulations (29 CFR 3) issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Ad (40 U.S.C. 276c)] the full amounts of wages and bona fide Tringe ben�ts (or cash equivalents thereof) due at Gme of payment. The payme�t shall be computed at wage rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor (hereinafler'Yhe wage determi- nation") which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual relalionship which may be alleged to epst between the contrador or its subcontractors and such laborers and mechanics. The wage determi�ation (induding any additional dassifications and wage rates conformed under paragraph 2 of this Sedion IV and the DOL poster (WH-1321) or Form FHWA-1495) shall be posted at all times by the contrector and Rs subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers. For the purpose of this Section, coniributions made or costs reasonaWy aMiapaled for bona fide fringe benefits under Section 1(b)(2) of the Davis-Bxon Ad (40 U.S.C. 276a) on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of Seclion IV, paragraph 3b, hereoi. Also, for the purpose of this Section, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs, which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefrts on the wage determi�ation for the dassification of work actually peAormed, without regard to skill, except as provided in paragraphs 4 and 5 oi this Sedion IV. b. Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one dassification may be compensated at the rate specified for each dassification for the time actually worked therein, provided, that the employers payroll records accurately set forth the time speM in each dassification in which work is pertormed. c. All rulings and interpretations of the DavisBacon Ad and related ads contained i� 29 CFR 1, 3, and 5 are herein incorporaled by reference in this Agreement. 2. Classification: a.
