result in rejection of the bid as non-responsive. Any bid that proposes performance of more than 50
percent of the work proposed to be performed by the Bidder by other than the Contractor's own

1, Operations
FCI Constructors, Inc. (“FCI” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is engaged in
the business of obtaining and constructing heavy civil and highway construction projects
in the State of California and the southwestern United States, both directly and through
construction joint ventures formed for the same purpose.
FCI’s sole stockholder is HBG Flatiron, Inc. (“Flatiron”), a Delaware corporation, a
wholly owned subsidiary of HBG Constructors, Inc. (“HCI”). HCI is owned 90% by HBG USA, Inc. (“HBG USA”), a Delaware corporation, and 10% by the CEO of HCI.
HBG USA is owned 100% by Hollandsche Beton Groep nv, a Dutch Corporation (“HBG
nv”). Until April 2002, H33G nv was a publicly traded corporation in the Netherlands
traded on the Dutch stock exchange (Euronext Amsterdam). In April 2002, Grupo
Dragados SA acquired in excess of 99% of the shares of HBG nv. Grupo Dragados SA is
a Spanish corporation whose shares are traded on the Spanish stock market in Madrid
(IBES). In June 2002, KoninWijke BAM NI3M nv (“Royal BAM Group”), announced it
had reached an agreement with Grupo Dragados SA for Royal BAM Group to acquire
HBG nv from Grupo Dragados SA. On November 16,2002, the purchase of HBG nv by
Royal BAM Group was completed with Royal BAM Group acquiring in excess of 99% of
the shares of HBG nv. Royal BAM Group is a Dutch corporation whose shares are traded
on the Euronext Amsterdam stock exchange. The Company’s assets, liabilities and equity
balances are reflected at their historical carrying values in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets and do not reflect the push down of the purchase price related to the
acquisitions.
The Company has investments in the following construction joint ventures as of
December 3 1,2002:
FCI Constructors/Interbeton, Inc.-Conned in 1997 by FCI (70%) and Interbeton,
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of HCI, (30%) for the purpose of jointly
constructing the seismic retrofit of a bridge in the State of California. In a separate
agreement between FCI and Flatiron, the 70% interest held by FCI is shared among
FCI (20%) and Flatiron (50%).
FCI Constructors/Cleve&znd Bridge California, Inc.-Formed in 2000 by FCI
(65%) and Cleveland Bridge California, Inc. (35%) for the purpose of jointly
obtaining and constructing a bridge project in the State of California. In a separate
agreement between FCI, Flatiron, and Interbeton, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
HCI, the 65% interest held by FCJ is shared among Flatiron (30%), FCI (25%), and
Interbeton, Inc. (10%).

Manson Construction Co. (8%) for jointly obtaining and constructing projects in the
State of California. In a separate agreement between FCI and Flatiron, the 27%
interest held by FCI is shared among FCI (13.5%) and Flatiron (13.5%).
Effective May 3, 2001, Redwood City Dredging Company (“Redwood”) was acquired
and merged into the Company, with FCI being the surviving company. Redwood
engaged in the business of renting marine equipment.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies of the Company are as follows:
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company together with
its proportionate share of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the construction
joint ventures. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions, including the
Company’s proportionate share of intercompany balances and transactions with
construction joint ventures, have been eliminated.
Recognition of Revenues and Costs
Income from uncompleted contracts is recorded on the percentage-of-completion method,
measured by the percentage of direct contract costs incurred to date to estimated total
direct contract costs. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made
in the period in which such losses are determined. Revenues in connection with contract
claims and change orders are recorded when realization is probable and the amount can
be reliably estimated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements
and accompanying notes. The principal area involving the use of such estimates relates to
income recognized on long-term construction contracts, including the valuation of claims.
Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is at least reasonably possible
that actual results could differ materially from those estimates in the near term.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Classification of Current Assets and Liabilities
The Company’s operating cycle is the length of each individual contract, which may
extend beyond one year. Therefore, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on
uncompleted contracts, along with all other contract-related receivables and cash held in
escrow, are included in current assets. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings
on uncompleted contracts, along with all other contract-related payables, are included in
current liabilities. A one-year time period is used as the basis for classifying all other
current assets and liabilities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents. A portion of the Company’s cash and cash
equivalents represent its proportionate share of joint ventures’ cash and cash equivalent
balances and may not be available to the Company to meet its current operating needs.
Cash Held in Escrow
Cash totaling $5,582,412 and $13,728,246 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively,
is held in escrow by various banks in lieu of contract retainages. This cash will be
released by the project owner upon the Company’s satisfactory completion of contract
provisions. The Company does not expect that $3,469,282 of escrow balances at
December 31,2002 will be released within the next fiscal year.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line and declining-balance methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets,
which range from three to 15 years, with an appropriate provision for estimated salvage
values.
Construction Materials
The Company accounts for construction materials at the lower of cost or estimated
recoverable value.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Credit Risks
Concentrations of financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk
consist of cash and cash equivalents, cash held in escrow, accounts receivable, and
unbilled contract receivables.
The Company, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure by placing its cash and
cash equivalents with financial institutions evaluated as highly creditworthy. Risks
associated with concentrations of credit with respect to accounts receivable and unbilled
contract receivables are limited due to the Company’s credit evaluation process.

changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. The Company believes that there have been no impairments in the carrying
value of long-lived assets during the years ended December 31,2002 and 2001.

of equipment for $3,586,250 and $1,813,464, respectively. Concurrent with the sales, the

Company also has the option to repurchase the equipment at the end of each lease term at
the contractually determined residual value, which is expected to approximate the fair
value of the equipment.

Taxes. A deferred income tax asset or liability is determined by applying currently

Deferred income tax expense is measured by the change in the net deferred income tax
asset or liability during the year after considering any valuation allowances provided
against deferred income tax assets.

$2,231,630 available to offset future income tax liabilities. The NOL carryforwards
expire in 2022. The Company’s ability to utilize these NOL carryforwards is dependent
on the existence of future taxable income, which the Company has projected will occur
before the expiration period.
The Company is a member of a group that files a consolidated income tax return. The
liability for current income taxes of the consolidated group is allocated to members of the
group based on each member’s taxable income (loss) and is included in accounts payable
from affiliates in the accompanying balance sheets ($1,342,46 1 and $1,573,964 at
December 3 1,2002 and 2001, respectively).
10. Contingencies and Settlements 4
The Company has initiated several claims with project owners for additional
compensation related to various contract changes and differing conditions. In connection
with these claims, the Company has forecasted the minimum amounts believed to be
probable of recovery of $1.1 million and $1.9 million cumulatively through December 31,
2002 and 2001, respectively. Certain claims that were outstanding at December 31, 2001
were settled during 2002.

11. Letters of Credit
At December 31, 2002, the Company and its subsidiaries and construction joint ventures
had $5.7 million of irrevocable standby letters of credit outstanding with expiration dates
ranging from December 31, 2003 through September 1, 2006. The letters of credit were
issued in favor of project owners or joint venture partners to guarantee performance or
payment on certain construction contracts.
The Company also has an irrevocable standby letter of credit in the amount of $28.8
million that was issued by a bank at the request of one of the Company’s construction
joint ventures (the “Venture”) to guarantee payment to a subcontractor for the supply of
materials to the Venture. The letter of credit obligation will be reduced as payments are
made to the subcontractor by the Venture. Management anticipates that the total balance
of the letter of credit will be decreased by approximately $25.0 million by June 30, 2003.
The expiration date of the letter of credit is March 31, 2004. As of December 31, 2002,
an irrevocable standby letter of credit of $10.1 million has been issued by one of the
Venture’s partners in favor of HBG nv for its share of the amounts owed to the
subcontractor.
The letters of credit have been arranged by HIBG nv through its credit facilities. The
Company and its subsidiaries and construction joint ventures are ultimately responsible
for any amounts drawn against the letters of credit; however, the management of the
Company believes the likelihood of any amounts being drawn is remote.

THIS IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE NOTICE IS PART OF YOUR BOND
-
Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland, Colonial American Casualty and Surety Company, Zurich American
Insurance Company, and American Guarantee and Liability Insurance Company are making the following
informational disclosures in compliance with The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002. No action is required on your
P"t.
Disclosure of Terrorism Premium
The premium charge for risk of loss resulting from acts of terrorism (as defined in the Act) under this bond is
$-waived-. This amount is reflected in the total premium for this bond.
Disclosure of Availability of Coverage for Terrorbm Losses
As required by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, we have made available to you coverage for losses resulting
from acts of terrorism (as defined in the Act) with terms, amounts, and limitations that do not differ materially as those
for losses arising from events other than acts of terrorism.
Disclosure of Federal Share of Insurance Companv's Terrorism Losses
The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 establishes a mechanism by which the United States government will share
in insurance company losses resulting from acts of terrorism (as defined in the Act) after a insurance company has paid
losses in excess of an annual aggregate deductible. For 2002, the insurance company deductible is 1% of direct earned
premium in the prior year; for 2003, 7% of direct earned premium in the prior year; for 2004, 10% of direct earned
premium in the prior year; and for 2005, 15% of direct earned premium in the prior year. The federal share of an
insurance company's losses above its deductible is 90%. In the event the United States government participates in
losses, the United States government may direct insurance companies to collect a terrorism surcharge from
policyholders. The Act does not currently provide for insurance industry or United States government participation in
terrorism losses that exceed $100 billion in any one calendar year.
Defmition of Act of Terrorism
The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act defines "act of terrorism" as any act that is certified by the Secretary of the Treasury,
in concurrence with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General of the United States:
1. to be an act of terrorism;
2. to be a violent act or an act that is dangerous to human life, property or infrastructure;
3. to have resulted in damage within the United States, or outside of the United States in the case of an air carrier
(as defined in section 40102 of title 49, United 17 States Code) or a United States flag vessel (or a vessel based
principally in the United States, on which United States income tax is paid and whose insurance coverage is
subject to regulation in the United States), or the premises of a United States mission; and
4. to have been committed by an individual or individuals acting on behalf of any foreign person or foreign
interest as part of an effort to coerce the civilian population of the United States or to influence the policy or
affect the conduct of the United States Government by coercion.
But, no act shall be certified by the Secretary as an act of terrorism if the act is committed as part of the course of a war
declared by Congress (except for workers' compensation) or property and casualty insurance losses resulting from the
act, in the aggregate, do not exceed $5,000,000.
These disclosures are informational only and do not modify your bond or affect your rights under the bond.

3- LABOR CODE SECTION 1777.5
EMPLOYMENT OF PROPERLY REGISTERED APPRENTICES
Nothing in this chapter shall prevent the employment of properly registered apprentices upon public works.
Every such apprentice shall be paid the standard wage paid to apprentices under the regulations of the craft or trade at
which he or she is employed, and shall be employed only at the work of the craft or trade to which he or she is
registered.
Only apprentices, as defined in Section 3077, who are in training under apprenticeship standards and written
apprentice agreements under Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 3070) of Division 3, are eligible to be employed on
public works. The employment and training of each apprentice shall be in accordance with the apprenticeship
standards and apprentice agreements under which he or she is training.
When the contractor to whom the contract is awarded by the state or any political subdivision, or any subcontractor
under him or her, in performing any of the work under the contract or subcontract, employs workers in any
apprenticeable craft or trade, the contractor and subcontractor shall apply to the joint apprenticeship committee
administering the apprenticeship standards of the craft or trade in the area of the site of the public work for a certificate
approving the contractor or subcontractor under the apprenticeship standards for the employment and training of
apprentices in the area or industry affected. However, approval as established by the joint apprenticeship committee or
committees shall be subject to the approval of the Administrator of Apprenticeship. The joint apprenticeship
committee or committees, subsequent to approving the subject contractor or subcontractor, shall arrange for the
dispatch of apprentices to the contractor or subcontractor in order to comply with this section. Every contractor and
subcontractor shall submit contract award information to the applicable joint apprenticeship committee which shall
include an estimate of journeyman hours to be performed under the contract, the number of apprentices to be
employed, and the approximate dates the apprentices will be employed. There shall be an affirmative duty upon the
joint apprenticeship committee or committees administering the apprenticeship standards of the craft or trade in the
area of the site of the public work to ensure equal employment and af€innative action in apprenticeship for women and
minorities. Contractors or subcontractors shall not be required to submit individual applications for approval to local
joint apprenticeship committees provided they are already covered by the local apprenticeship standards. The ratio of
work performed by apprentices to journeymen who shall be employed in the craft or trade on the public work may be
the ratio stipulated in the apprenticeship standards under which the joint apprenticeship committee operates, but, except
as otherwise provided in this section, in no case shall the ratio be less than one hour of apprentices work for every five
hours of labor performed by a journeyman. However, the minimum ratio for the land surveyor classification shall not
be less than one apprentice for each five journeymen.
Any ratio shall apply during any day or portion of a day when any journeyman, or the higher standard stipulated by
the joint apprenticeship committee, is employed at the job site and shall be computed on the basis of the hours worked
BP-1
March 17,2000
during the day by journeymen so employed, except for the land surveyor classification. The contractor shall employ
apprentices for the number of hours computed as above before the end of the contract. However, the contractor shall
endeavor, to the greatest extent possible, to employ apprentices during the same time period that the journeymen in the
same craft or trade are employed at the job site. Where an hourly apprenticeship ratio is not feasible for a particular
craft or trade, the Division of Apprenticeship Standards, upon application of a joint apprenticeship committee, may
order a minimum ratio of not less than one apprentice for each five journeymen in a craft or trade classification.
The contractor or subcontractor, if he or she is covered by this section, upon the issuance of the approval certificate, or
if he or she has been previously approved in the craft or trade, shall employ the number of apprentices or the ratio of
apprentices to journeymen stipulated in the apprenticeship standards. Upon proper showing by the contractor that he or
she employs apprentices in the craft or trade in the state on all of his or her contracts on an annual average of not less
than one hour of apprentice work for every five hours of labor performed by a journeyman, or in the land surveyor
classification, one apprentice for each five journeymen, the Division of Apprenticeship Standards may grant a
certificate exempting the contractor fiom the 140-5 hourly ratio as set forth in this section. This section shall not apply
to contracts of general contractors or to contracts of specialty contractors not bidding for work through a general or
prime contractor, when the contracts of general contractors or those specialty contractors involve less than thirty
thousand dollars ($30,000) or 20 working days . Any work performed by a journeyman in excess of eight hours per
day or 40 hours per week, shall not be used to calculate the hourly ratio required by this section.
"Apprenticeable craft or trade," as used in this section, means a craft or trade determined as an apprenticeable
occupation in accordance with rules and regulations prescnied by the Apprenticeship Council. The joint
apprenticeship committee shall have the discretion to grant a certificate, which shall be subject to the approval of the
Administrator of Apprenticeship, exempting a contractor fiom the 1-to-5 ratio set forth in this section when it finds that
any one of the following conditions is met:
(a) Unemployment for the previous three-month period in the area exceeds an average of 15 percent .
(b) The number of apprentices in training in such area exceeds a ratio of 1 to 5 .
(c) There is a showing that the apprenticeable craft or trade is replacing at least one-thirtieth of its journeymen
annually through apprenticeship training, either on a statewide basis, or on a local basis.
(d) Assignment of an apprentice to any work performed under a public works contract would create a condition
which would jeopardize his or her life or the life, safety, or properly of fellow employees or the public at large or if the
specific task to which the apprentice is to be assigned is of such a nature that training cannot be provided by a
journeyman.
When exemptions are granted to an organization which represents contractors in a specific trade fiom the 1-to-5 ratio
on a local or statewide basis the member contractors will not be required to submit individual applications for approval
to local joint apprenticeship committees, if they are already covered by the local apprenticeship standards.
A contractor to whom the contract is awarded, or any subcontractor under him or her, who, in performing any of the
work under the contract, employs journeymen or apprentices in any apprenticeable craft or trade and who is not
contributing to a fund or funds to administer and conduct the apprenticeship program in any craft or trade in the area of
the site of the public work, to which fund or funds other contractors in the area of the site of the public work are
contributing, shall contribute to the fund or funds in each craft or trade in which he or she employs journeymen or
apprentices on the public work in the same amount or upon the same basis and in the same manner as the other
contractors do, but where the trust fund administrators are unable to accept the funds, contractors not signatory to the
trust agreement shall pay a like amount to the California Apprenticeship Council. The contractor or subcontractor may
add the amount of the contriiutions in computing his or her bid for the contract. The Division of Labor Standards
Enforcement is authorized to enforce the payment of the contributions to the fund or funds as set forth in Section 227.
The body awarding the contract shall cause to be inserted in the contract stipulations to effectuate this section. The
stipulations shall fix the responsibility of compliance with this section for all apprenticeable occupations with the prime
contractor.
All decisions of the joint apprenticeship committee under this section are subject to Section 308 1.

Estimated duration of the temporary suspension.
If the archeologist determines that the potential find is a bonafide cultural resource, at the direction of the State
Water Resources Control Board Cultural Resources Officer, the Engineer shall extend the duration of the “Stop
Work Order” in writing, and the Contractor shall suspend work at the location of the find.
Equitable adjustment of the construction contract shall be made in the following manner:
1) Time Extension
If the work temporarily suspended is on the “critical path”, the total number of days for which the suspension is in
effect shall be added to the number of allowable contract days.
If a portion of work at the time of such suspension is not on the “critical path”, but subsequently becomes work on
the critical path, the allowable contract time will be computed from the date such work is classified as on the critical
path.
2) Additional Compensation
If, as a result of a suspension of the work, the Contractor sustains a loss which could not have been avoided by his
judicious handling of forces, and equipment, or redirection of forces or equipment to perform other work on the
contract, there shall be paid to the Contractor an amount as determined by the Engineer to be fair and reasonable
compensation for the Contractor’s actual loss in accordance with the following:
a) Idle Time of Equipment
Compensation for equipment idle time will be determined on a force account (time and materials) basis, and shall
include the cost of extra moving of equipment and rental loss. The right-of-way delay factor for each classification
of equipment shown in the California Department of Transportation publication entitled, Equipment Rental Rates
and the General Prevailing Wage Rates, will be applied to any equipment rental rates.
b) Idle Time of Labor
Compensation for idle time of workers will be determined by the Engineer as “Labor” less any actual productivity
factor of this portion of the work force.
4 Increased Costs of Labor and Materials
Increased costs of labor and materials will be compensated only to the extent such increase was in fact caused by the
suspension, as determined by the Engineer.
Compensation for actual loss due to idle time of either equipment or labor shall not include markup for profit.
The hours for which compensation will be paid will be the actual normal working time during which such delay
condition exists, but will in no case exceed eight hours in any one day.
The days for which compensation will be paid shall be full or partial calendar days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays,
and legal holidays, during the existence of such delay.

CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTORS--AFFIRMATIVE ACTION REOUIREMENTS fin relevant art)
Notice of requirement for Affirmative Action to ensure Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) by Executive Order
11246, as amended by Executive Order 11375.
1. The Offeror's or Bidder's attention is called to the "Equal Opportunity Clause" and the "Standard Federal Equal
Employment Specifications'' set forth herein.
2. The goals and timetables for minority and female participation, expressed in percentage terms for the contractor's
aggregate workforce in each trade on all construction work in the covered area, are as follows:
Time- Goals for minority participation Goals for female participation
tables for each trade for each trade
(Agency to insert start and 16.9% 6.9%
end dates of contract)
(Contact SWRCB, Division of Clean Water Programs, at (916) 227-4586 for assistance with the minority goal and
timetables. E-mail <musialr@cwp.swrcb.ca.gov>: Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs' web site for
compliance issues and preaward registry is <http://www.dol.gov/doYesa/public/ofcp-erg>)
These goals are applicable to all the Contractor's construction work (whether or not it is Federal or federally
assisted) performed in the covered area. If the contractor performs construction work in a geographical area located
outside of the covered area, it shall apply the goals established for such geographical area where the work is actually
performed. With regard to this second area, the contractor also is subject to the goals for both its federally involved
and non-federally involved construction.
rt The Contractor's compliance with the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4 shall be based on
its implementation of the Equal Opportunity Clause, specific affirmative action obligations required by the
specifications set forth in 41 CFR 60-4.3(a), and its efforts to meet the goals. The hours of minority and female
employment and training must be substantially uniform throughout the length of the contract, and in each trade, and
the contractor shall make a good faith effort to employ minorities and women evenly on each of its projects. The
transfer of minority or female employees or trainees from Contractor to Contractor or from project to project for the
sole purpose of meeting the Contractor's goals shall be a violation of the contract, the Executive Order and the
regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4. Compliance with the goals will be measured against the total work hours performed.
3. The Contractor shall provide written notification to the Director of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance
Programs within 10 working days of award of any construction subcontract in excess of $10,000 at any tier for
construction work under the contract resulting from this solicitation. The notification shall list the name, address
and telephone number of the subcontractor; employer identification number of the subcontractor; estimated dollar
amount of the subcontract; estimated starting and completion dates of the subcontract; and the geographical area in
which the subcontract is to be performed.
4. As used in this Notice, and in the contract resulting from this solicitation, the "covered area" is (insert
description of the geographical areas where the contract is to be performed giving the state, county and city, if any).
Q 60-4.3 Equal opportunity clauses (in relevant part)
Standard Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Construction Contract
Specifications (Executive Order 11 246)
BP-14 March 17,2000
1. As used in these specifications:
a. "Covered area" means the geographical area described in the solicitation from which this contract resulted;
b. "Director" means Director, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, United States Department of
Labor, or any person to whom the Director delegates authority;
c. "Employer identification number" means the Federal Social Security number used on the Employe<s Quarterly
Federal Tax Return, U.S. Treasury Department Form 94 1.
d. "Minority" includes:
(i) Black (all persons having origins in any of the Black African racial groups not of Hispanic origin);
(ii) Hispanic (all persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American or other Spanish Culture
or origin, regardless of race);
(iii) Asian and Pacific Islander (all persons having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East,
Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, or the Pacific Islands); and
(iv) American Indian or Alaskan Native (all persons having origins in any of the original peoples of North
America and maintaining identifiable tribal affiliations through membership and participation or community
identification).
2. Whenever the Contractor, or any Subcontractor at any tier, subcontracts a portion of the work involving any
construction trade, it shall physically include in each subcontract in excess of $10,000 the provisions of these
specifications and the Notice which contains the applicable goals for minority and female participation and which is
set forth in the solicitations from which this contract resulted.
3. If the Contractor is participating (pursuant to 41 CFR 60-4.5) in a Hometown Plan approved by the U.S.
Department of Labor in the covered area either individually or through an association, its affinnative action
obligations on all work in the Plan area (including goals and timetables) shall be in accordance with that Plan for
those trades which have unions participating in the Plan. Contractors must be able to demonstrate their participation
in and compliance with the provisions of any such Hometown Plan. Each Contractor or Subcontractor participating
in an approved Plan is individually required to comply with its obligations under the EEO clause, and to make a
good faith effort to achieve each goal under the Plan in each trade in which it has employees. The overall good faith
performance by other Contractors or Subcontractors toward a goal in an approved Plan does not excuse any covered
Contractor's or Subcontractor's failure to take good faith efforts to achieve the Plan goals and timetables.
4. The Contractor shall implement the specific affirmative action standards provided in paragraphs 7 a through p of
these specifications. The goals set forth in the solicitation from which this contract resulted are expressed as
percentages of the total hours of employment and training of minority and female utilization the Contractor should
reasonably be able to achieve in each construction trade in which it has employees in the covered area. Covered
Construction contractors performing construction work in geographical areas where they do not have a Federal or
federally assisted construction contract shall apply the minority and female goals established for the geographical
area where the work is being performed. Goals are published periodically in the Federal Register in notice form,
and such notices may be obtained from any Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs office or from Federal
procurement contracting officers. The Contractor is expected to make substantially uniform progress in meeting its
goals in each craft during the period specified.
5. Neither the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement, nor the failure by a union with whom the
Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement, to refer either minorities or women shall excuse the Contractor's
obligations under these specifications, Executive Order 1 1246, or the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto.
6. In order for the non-working training hours of apprentices and trainees to be counted in meeting the goals, such
apprentices and trainees must be employed by the Contractor during the training period, and the Contractor must
have made a commitment to employ the apprentices and trainees at the completion of their training, subject to the
availability of employment opportunities. Trainees must be trained pursuant to training programs approved by the
U.S. Department of Labor.

of the Contractor's compliance with these specifications shall be based upon its effort to achieve maximum results
from its actions. The Contractor shall document these efforts fblly, and shall implement affirmative action steps at
least as extensive as the following:
a. Ensure and maintain a working environment free of harassment, intimidation, and coercion at all sites, and in all
facilities at which the Contractor's employees are assigned to work. The Contractor, where possible, will assign
two or more women to each construction project. The Contractor shall specifically ensure that all foremen,
superintendents, and other on-site supervisory personnel are aware of and carry out the Contractor's obligation to
maintain such a working environment, with specific attention to minority or female individuals working at such
sites or in such facilities.
b. Establish and maintain a current list of minority and female recruitment sources, provide written notification to
minority and female recruitment sources and to community organizations when the Contractor or its unions have
employment opportunities available, and maintain a record of the organizations' responses.
c. Maintain a current file of the names, addresses and telephone numbers of each minority and female
off-the-street applicant and minority or female referral from a union, a recruitment source or community
organization and of what action was taken with respect to each such individual. If such individual was sent to the
union hiring hall for referral and was not referred back to the Contractor by the union or, if referred, not employed
by the Contractor, this shall be documented in the file with the reason therefor, along with whatever additional
actions the Contractor may have taken.
d. Provide immediate written notification to the Director when the union or unions with which the Contractor has
a collective bargaining agreement has not referred to the Contractor a minority person or woman sent by the
Contractor, or when the Contractor has other information that the union referral process has impeded the
Contractor's efforts to meet its obligations.
e. Develop on-the-job training opportunities and/or participate in training programs for the area which expressly
include minorities and women, including upgrading programs and apprenticeship and trainee programs relevant to
the Contractor's employment needs, especially those programs funded or approved by the Department of Labor.
The Contractor shall provide notice of these programs to the sources compiled under 7b above.
f. Disseminate the Contractor's EEO policy by providing notice of the policy to unions and training programs and
requesting their cooperation in assisting the Contractor in meeting its EEO obligations; by including it in any
policy manual and collective bargaining agreement; by publicizing it in the company newspaper, annual report,
etc.; by specific review of the policy with all management personnel and with all minority and female employees
at least once a year; and by posting the company EEO policy on bulletin boards accessible to all employees at
each location where construction work is performed.
g. Review, at least annually, the company's EEO policy and affirmative action obligations under these
specifications with all employees having any responsibility for hiring, assignment, layoff, termination or other
employment decisions including specific review of these items with onsite supervisory personnel such as
Superintendents, General Foremen, etc., prior to the initiation of construction work at any job site. A written
record shall be made and maintained identifying the time and place of these meetings, persons attending, subject
matter discussed, and disposition of the subject matter.
h. Disseminate the Contractor's EEO policy externally by including it in any advertising in the news media,
specifically including minority and female news media, and providing written notification to and discussing the
Contractor's EEO policy with other Contractors and Subcontractors with whom the Contractor does or anticipates doing business.
i. Direct its recruitment efforts, both oral and written, to minority, female and community organizations, to
schools with minority and female students and to minority and female recruitment and training organizations
serving the Contractor's recruitment area and employment needs. Not later than one month prior to the date for
the acceptance of applications for apprenticeship or other training by any recruitment source, the Contractor shall
send written notification to organizations such as the above, describing the openings, screening procedures, and
tests to be used in the selection process.
BP-16 March 17,2000
j. Encourage present minority and female employees to recruit other minority persons and women and, where
reasonable, provide after school, summer and vacation employment to minority and female youth both on the site
and in other areas of a Contractor's work force.
k. Validate all tests and other selection requirements where there is an obligation to do so under 41 CFR Part 60-3.
1. Conduct, at least annually, an inventory and evaluation at least of all minority and female personnel for
promotional opportunities and encourage these employees to seek or to prepare for, through appropriate training,
etc., such opportunities.
m. Ensure that seniority practices, job classifications, work assignments and other personnel practices, do not have
a discriminatory effect by continually monitoring all personnel and employment related activities to ensure that
the EEO policy and the Contractor's obligations under these specifications are being carried out.
n. Ensure that all facilities and company activities are Non-Segregated except that separate or single-user toilet
and necessary changing facilities shall be provided to assure privacy between the sexes.
0. Document and maintain a record of all solicitations of offers for subcontracts from minority and female
construction contractors and suppliers, including circulation of solicitations to minority and female contractor
associations and other business associations.
p. Conduct a review, at least annually, of all supervisors' adherence to and performance under the Contractor's
EEO policies and affirmative action obligations.
8. Contractors are encouraged to participate in voluntary associations which assist in fulfilling one or more of their
affirmative action obligations (7a through p). The efforts of a contractor association, joint contractor-union,
contractor-community, or other similar group of which the contractor is a member and participant, may be asserted
as fulfilling any one or more of its obligations under 7a through p of these Specifications provided that the
contractor actively participates in the group, makes every effort to assure that the group has a positive impact on the
employment of minorities and women in the industry, ensures that the concrete benefits of the program are reflected
in the Contractor's minority and female workforce participation, makes a good faith effort to meet its individual
goals and timetables, and can provide access to documentation which demonstrates the effectiveness of actions
taken on behalf of the Contractor. The obligation to comply, however, is the Contractor's and failure of such a
group to fulfill an obligation shall not be a defense for the Contractor's noncompliance.
9. A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for women have been established. The Contractor,
however, is required to provide equal employment opportunity and to take affirmative action for all minority groups,
both male and female, and all women, both minority and non-minority. Consequently, the Contractor may be in
violation of the Executive Order if a particular group is employed in a substantially disparate manner (for example,
even though the Contractor has achieved its goals for women generally, the Contractor may be in violation of the
Executive Order if a specific minority group of women is underutilized).
10. The Contractor shall not use the goals and timetables or affirmative action standards to discriminate against any
person because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
1 1. The Contractor shall not enter into any Subcontract with any person or fm debarred from Government
contracts pursuant to Executive Order 11246.
12. The Contractor shall carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of these specifications and of the Equal
Opportunity Clause, including suspension, termination and cancellation of existing subcontracts as may be imposed
or ordered pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and its implementing regulations, by the Office of
Federal Contract Compliance Programs. Any Contractor who fails to carry out such sanctions and penalties shall be
in violation of these specifications and Executive Order 11246, as amended.
13. The Contractor, in fulfilling its obligations under these specifications, shall implement specific affirmative
action steps, at least as extensive as those standards prescribed in paragraph 7 of these specifications, so as to
achieve maximum results from its efforts to ensure equal employment opportunity. If the Contractor fails to comply
with the requirements of the Executive Order, the implementing regulations, or these specifications, the Director
shall proceed in accordance with 41 CFR 60-4.8.
BP-17
March 17,2000
14. The Contractor shall designate a responsible official to monitor all employment related activity to ensure that
the company EEO policy is being canied out, to submit reports relating to the provisions hereof as may be required
by the Government and to keep records. Records shall at least include for each employee the name, address,
telephone numbers, construction trade, union affiliation if any, employee identification number when assigned,
social security number, race, sex, status (e.g., mechanic, apprentice trainee, helper, or laborer), dates of changes in
status, hours worked per week in the indicated trade, rate of pay, and locations at which the work was performed.
Records shall be maintained in an easily understandable and retrievable form; however, to the degree that existing
records satisfy this requirement, contractors shall not be required to maintain separate records.
15. Nothing herein provided shall be construed as a limitation upon the application of other laws which establish
different standards of compliance or upon the application of requirements for the hiring of local or other area
residents (e.& those under the Public Works Employment Act of 1977 and the Community Development Block
Grant Program).

water so that the surface of the joint to be in contact with the grout will be
thoroughly moistened when the grout is poured. The joint shall be filled with grout
by pouring from one side only, and shall be rodded with a wire or other flexible rod
or vibrated so that the grout completely fills the joint recess by moving down one
side of the pipe, around the bottom of the pipe and up the opposite side. Pouring
and rodding the grout shall be continued to allow completion of the filling of the
entire joint recess in one operation. Care shall be taken to leave no unfilled space.
Grouting of the outside joint spaces shall be kept as close behind the laying of the
pipe as possible except that in no case shall grouting be closer than 3 joints of the
pipe being laid.
Grout Bands (DiaDers). The grout bands or heavy-duty diapers shall be fabric with
steel strapping of sufficient strength to hold the fresh mortar, resist rodding ,of the
mortar and allow excess water to escape.
The fabric backing shall be cut and sewn into 9-inch wide strips with slots for the
steel strapping on the outer edges.
The heavyduty diaper shall be centered over the joint space with approximately
equal widths extending over each pipe end and securely attached to the pipe with
the steel straps. After filling the exterior joint space with cement grout, the flaps
shall be closed and overlapped in a manner that fully encloses the grout. The
grout band shall remain in position on the pipe joint.
Joint Lininq. After the pipe zone backfill has been completed the interior joint
recess shall be filled with mortar of stiff consistency mixed in proportions of one
part cement to 2 parts sand. The mortar shall be tightly packed into the joint
recess and troweled flush with the interior surface, and all excess shall be
