614.115 Work Zone Raised Pavement Markers. Furnish, install, maintain and subsequently remove work zone raised pavement markers (WZRPMs). Work zone raised pavement markers may serve as a substitute for, or supplement to, work zone pavement markings. They are provided in both yellow and white versions to match the appropriate pavement marking color.

White units provide reflectoration in one direction while yellow units may provide reflectoration in either one direction or two They are available as units which are readily visible both night and day as a result of retroreflectors and brightly colored (white or yellow) housing (Type A) or visible only at night due to their retroreflectors (Type B).

A. Materials. Prequalify work zone raised pavement markers according to Supplement 1056.

Only use adhesives that are recommended by the reflector manufacturer and are not epoxy.

Provide markers of sufficient strength and properly shaped so as not to be dislodged or broken by impacts from vehicle tires, including those of high pressure truck tires loaded to 4500 pounds (2040 kilograms).

Provide reflectors having an area of 0.35 square inches (225 square millimeters) for Type A or 3.0 square inches (1935 square millimeters) for Type B. The brightness or specific intensity (when tested at 0.2 degree angle of observation and the following angles of incidence) meet or exceed the following:

Angle of incidence: Formed by a ray from a light source to the marker and the normal to the leading edge of the marker face (also horizontal entrance angle)

Angle of observation: Formed by a ray from a light source to the marker and the returned ray from the marker to the measuring receptor

Specific intensity: The mean candlepower of the reflected light (at given incidence and divergence angles) for each footcandle (10.7 lux) at the reflector (on a plane perpendicular to the incident light)

Type A markers, when viewed from above, have a visible area of not less than 14 square inches (9030 square millimeters). When viewed from the front, parallel to the pavement, as from approaching traffic, Type A markers have a width of approximately 4 inches (100 mm) and a visible area of not less than 1.5 square inches (970 square millimeters).

B. Patterns. The patterns of WZRPMs required for the various types of pavement markings are shown in Table 614.115-1.

**Face the proper color and reflector to the oncoming traffic. Place the units back to back about one quarter inch (6.0 mm) apart.

C. Installation. Attach work zone raised pavement markers to clean dry and sound pavement. Remove all loose gravel, sand and dirt from the area of the line. The minimum pavement temperature for installation is 50 degrees F (10 degrees C). When markers are attached to new concrete pavement with curing compound remaining, remove the curing compound membrane by sandblasting or other mechanical cleaning method. Install markers in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.

Work zone raised pavement markers are not suitable for use from October 15 to April 1. If the Contractor elects to start or continue work zone pavement markers during this period, and they fail or are subsequently removed or destroyed by snow and ice control activities, immediately, at his expense, provide a substitute traffic guidance system which is effective during day and night and which is acceptable to the Engineer. Other than for replacement of failed WZRPMs, new installations of WZRPMs are not permitted from October 1 to April 1.

Place markers accurately to depict straight or uniformly curving lines. The longitudinal location of WZRPMs are described in Table I except that the spacing of an individual WZRPM may be varied by as much as 2 feet (0.6 m) or 10 percent of the nominal spacing in order to avoid poor pavement conditions, but the average spacing remains unchanged. Poor pavement conditions include separated joints, cracks, deteriorated pavement, usually uneven pavement or where pavement marking material will interfere with the bond.

A. Edge Lines: Offset 12 inches (300 mm) outside the work zone pavement marking, if any, or the theoretical edge of the lane, but this offset may vary +6 inches (150 mm) as necessary to avoid poor pavement conditions.

B. Lane lines and dashed center lines: Locate the WZRPM in the center of the gap between pavement marking dashes, if any. If a pavement joint exists, provide the marker with 2 inches (50 mm) clear distance from it (and to the left of it for lane lines). Otherwise, center the WZRPM on the theoretical edge of lane.

C. Double center line: Install each WZRPM of the pair in line with the appropriate pavement marking stripe, if any. If the edge of lane is demarcated by a crack or joint, the pair of WZRPMs straddle the joint and each is installed approximately 2 inches (50 mm) clear from the joint. Otherwise center the pair on the theoretical edge of lane.

D. Channelizing Line: In line with the pavement marking stripe or immediately adjacent to the line, except when used at exit gore outlines where the WZRPM is installed within the painted gore vee and approximately 12 inches (300 mm) from the pavement marking stripe. WZRPMs will not be placed directly on a painted line.

D. Replacement. Maintain WZRPMs in good condition. Markers have failed when: the marker is broken, the marker is worn to the extent that daytime visibility is significantly diminished or of an unacceptable color (type B only), reflectors are broken or detached, markers are detached from the adhesive, the adhesive is detached from the pavement or if markers or reflectors are covered by tar or paint.

Individual replacement of each failed marker as it occurs is not recommended due to increased exposure of workers to traffic. However, maintain the following minimum levels of marker effectiveness:

A. For a given line, no more than 20 percent of the WZRPM units failed in any manner;

B. For a segment of any line, the number of failed units do not exceed the maximums permitted in Table 614.115-2.

TABLE 614.115-2

Replace all failed units within any line or segment before conditions deteriorate below the minimums established in Table 614.115-2. Replace all failed units within the line or segment within 24 hours after notification by the Engineer.

E. Removal. Accomplish removal of work zone raised pavement markers in such a manner that no adhesive remains on the pavement. Permanent pavement surfaces are not to be scarred, broken or significantly roughened.

On page 605, the first sentence in the third paragraph of Section 630.04 is Replaced with the following: “For flat sheet and ground mounted extrusheet signs, use Type G, H or J reflective sheeting for background and reflective legends.

To determine whether the Contractor is in compliance with the requirement that he perform with his own organization contract work amounting to not less than 35 percent of the total contract price, the following criteria shall apply:

(1) The contract amount upon which the 35 percent requirement is computed shall include the cost of materials and manufactured products, which are to be purchased or produced under the contract provisions.

(2) The percentage of subcontracted work, for purposes of this section, shall always be based on original contract prices rather than actual subcontract prices.

Furnish steel and iron products that are made in the United according to the applicable provisions of Federal regulations stated in 23 CFR 635.410 and State of Ohio laws ORC 153.011 and 5525.21. “United States” means the United States of America and includes all territory, continental or insular, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.

A. Federal Requirements. All steel or iron products incorporated permanently into the work must be made of steel or iron produced in the United States and all subsequent manufacturing must be performed in the United States. Manufacturing is any process that modifies the chemical content; physical shape or size; or final finish of a product. Manufacturing begins with the initial melting and mixing, and continues through the bending and coating stages. If a domestic product is taken out of the USA for any process, it becomes a foreign source material.

B. State Requirements. All steel products used in the Work for load-bearing structural purposes must be made from steel produced in the United States. State requirements do not apply to iron.

1. When the work is Federally funded both the Federal and State requirements apply. This includes all portions of the Work, including portions that are not federally funded.

D. Exceptions. ODOT may grant specific written permission to use foreign steel or iron products in bridge construction and foreign iron products in any type of construction. Such exceptions may be granted under either of the following conditions:

1. The cost of products to be used does not exceed 0.1 percent of the total Contract cost, or $2,500, whichever is greater. The cost of the products is the value of the products as delivered to the project.

2. The specified products are not produced in the USA in sufficient quantity or otherwise are not reasonably available to meet the requirements of the Contract Documents. ODOT may require the Contractor to obtain letters from three different suppliers documenting the unavailability of a product from a domestic source, if the shortage is not previously product from a domestic source, if the shortage is not previously established.

E. Proof of Domestic Origin. A waiver has been granted by the FHWA for a specific product for use in a region that includes Ohio and is not contrary to Ohio law.

In accordance with Section 4113.61 of the Ohio Revised Code, the prime Contractor shall make payment to each subcontractor and materialman within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of payment from the LPA or Ohio Department of Transportation if Direct Pay for work performed or materials delivered or incorporated into the public improvement, provided that the pay estimate prepared by the engineer includes work performed or materials delivered or incorporated into the public improvement by the subcontractor or materialman.

The prime Contractor shall also require that this contractual obligation be placed in all subcontractor and materialman contracts that it enters into and further require that all subcontractors and materialmen place the same payment obligations in each of their lower tier contracts. If the prime Contractor, subcontractors or materialmen subject to this provision fail to comply with the ten (10) day payment requirement, the offending party shall pay, in addition to the payment due, interest in the amount of eighteen percent (18%) per annum of the payment due, beginning on the eleventh (11^th) day following the receipt of payment from the LPA or Ohio Department of Transportation and ending on the date of full payment of the payment due plus interest.

Repeated failures to pay subcontractors and materialmen timely as defined by this statute shall result in a finding that the prime is in breach of contract and subject to all legal consequences that such a finding entails. Further, repeated failures to pay timely as defined by the statute shall result in a lower evaluation score for the prime Contractor and those subcontractors who are subject to evaluation.

The Contractor must secure and maintain valid Ohio workers’ compensation coverage until the Department as set forth in Section 109.12(E) of the Construction and Material Specifications Manual has finally accepted the project. A certificate of coverage evidencing valid workers’ compensation coverage must be submitted to the LPA before the contract will be executed.

The Contractor must immediately notify the LPA in writing if it or any subcontractor fails or refuses to renew their workers’ compensation coverage. Furthermore, the Contractor must notify the LPA in writing if its or any of its subcontractor’s workers’ compensation policies are canceled, terminated or lapse.

The failure to maintain valid workers’ compensation coverage shall be considered a breach of contract which may result in the Contractor or subcontractor being removed from the project, withholding of pay estimates and/or termination of the contract.

The LPA will declare a bid non-responsive and ineligible for award if the Contractor is not enrolled and in good standing in the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation’s Drug-Free Workplace (DFWP) Discount Program or a similar program approved by the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation when its bid is submitted. Furthermore, the LPA will deny all requests to sublet when the subcontractor does not comply with the provisions of this proposal note.

The Contractor shall insert in each of its subcontracts a clause requiring all subcontractors to comply with all of the provisions of this proposal note. The Contractor is responsible for ensuring compliance by all subcontractors with all of the provisions of this proposal note.

Contractor affirmatively represents to the LPA that it is not subject to a finding for recovery under R.C. 9.24, or that it has taken the appropriate remedial steps required under R.C. 9.24 or otherwise qualifies under that section. Contractor agrees that if this representation is deemed to be false, the contract shall be void ab initio as between the parties to this contract, and any funds paid by the state hereunder shall be immediately repaid to the state, or an action for recovery may be immediately commenced by the state for recovery of said funds.

The prime Contractor agrees to comply with all applicable state and federal laws regarding drug-free workplace. The prime Contractor shall make a good faith effort to ensure that all its employees, while working on the Project, will not purchase, transfer, use or possess illegal drugs or alcohol or abuse prescription drugs in any way.

The prime Contractor shall also require that this contractual obligation be placed in all subcontractor and materialman contracts that it enters into and further requires that all subcontractors and materialmen place the same contractual obligations in each of their lower tier contracts.

Any use of sole source or proprietary bid items must have received previous approval by the ODOT district. Sole source or proprietary bid items for traffic signal and highway lighting projects must be in conformance with ODOT’s Traffic Engineering Manual.

The Contractor shall protect and indemnify the LPA and ODOT from all claims and liability resulting from negligence or willful violations of the Contractor. The Contractor must provide a performance and payment bond in an amount at least equal to 100 percent of its contract price as security for its faithful performance of its contract.

The Contractor and each of it subcontractors shall maintain, during the life of the its contract and subcontract, Public Liability Insurance with minimum coverage amounts of $1,000,000 per occurrence, Property Damage Insurance with minimum coverage amounts of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and Vehicle Liability Insurance.

The Contractor must exercise caution when working in proximity to the existing and/or relocated utility facilities.

Sections 105.07 and 107.16 of the Department of Transportation Construction and Materials Specifications require that the Contractor cooperate with all utilities located within the limits of this construction project and take responsibility for the protection of the utility property and services.

If a utility company directs the Contractor to perform any work not specifically contained in the bidding documents, the Contractor will not be compensated for this work unless approved in writing before the work begins. If the work is not preapproved, the Contractor will be responsible for obtaining reimbursement for its work from the utility company that directed the Contractor to perform the work.

In the event that the Contractor requests the additional work, not specifically contained in the bidding documents, be performed by a utility company, the Contractor will be responsible for reimbursing the utility company for the additional work unless the LPA has agreed in writing to pay for the additional work before the work begins.

The required contract provisions for Federal-aid construction contracts (contained in Form FHWA 1273) are hereby incorporated reference as if rewritten herein.

Please be aware that it is ultimately the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure that all subcontractors on the project strictly adhere to all laws relating to prevailing wages in the USDOL Regulations, Title 29, parts 1 and 5.

If the Contractor or any subcontractor fails to comply with any of the provisions contained in this proposal note, the LPA may terminate the contract, and/or withhold or suspend pay estimates after written notice and a reasonable opportunity to comply has been provided. The Ohio Department of Transportation may debar the Contractor or Subcontractor.

The applicable wage and fringe rates for this project are provided in the wage rate section of this proposal.

The Federally Required EEO Certification is required by the Equal Employment Opportunity Regulations of the Secretary of Labor (41 CFR 60-1.7 (b) (1)), and must be submitted by bidders and proposed subcontractors only in connection with contracts and subcontractors which are subject to the equal opportunity clause. Contracts and subcontracts which are exempt from the equal opportunity clause are set forth in 41 CFR 60-1.5. (Generally only contracts or subcontracts of $10,000 or under are exempt.)

Currently, Standard Form 100 (EEO-1) is the only report required by the Executive Orders or their implementing regulations.

Proposed prime contractors and subcontractors who have participated in a previous contract or subcontract subject to the Executive Orders and have not filed the required reports should note that 41 CFR 60-1.7 (b) (1) prevents the award of contracts and subcontracts unless such Contractor submits a report covering the delinquent period or such other period specified by the Federal Highway Administration or by the Director, Office of Federal Contract Compliance, U.S. Department of Labor.

The bidder hereby certifies that he has... has not... participated in a previous contract or subcontract subject to the equal opportunity clause, as required by Executive Orders 10925, 11114, or 11246, and that he has... has not... filed with the Joint Reporting Committee, the Director of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance, a Federal Government Contract Compliance, a Federal Government contracting or administering agency, or the former President's Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity, all reports due under the applicable filing requirements.

Goals for all other economic areas as discussed in the following paragraph are established per our letter dated March 17, 1983. The goal for female participation in each trade for the “covered area” (Ohio) is 6.9 percent.

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 nonfederally involved construction.

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 regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4. Compliance with the goals will be measured against the total work hours performed.

The Contractor shall provide a CR-2 Report to the ODOT District EEO Office in which the Contractor=s home office is located. The CR-2 Report will summarize the minorities and females and their hours worked on ODOT projects only. It will be submitted quarterly according to the following schedule:

The requirements of this Training Special Provision supersede subparagraph 7b of the Special Provision entitled Special Employment Opportunity Responsibilities, and implements 23 U.S.C. 140(a).

The following must be included as part of the Contractor’s equal employment opportunity affirmative action training program:

The Contractor must provide on-the-job training aimed at developing full journey persons in the type or job classification in which they work.

The Contractor is not required to have a specific number of trainees assigned to this project. The number of trainees will be distributed among the work classifications on the basis of the Contractor’s needs and the availability of the journey persons in the various classifications. The Contractor will be credited for each trainee employed by him or her who is currently enrolled or becomes enrolled in an approved program.

Training and upgrading of minorities and women toward journey person status is a primary objective of this Training Special Provision. Accordingly, the Contractor must make every effort to enroll minority trainees and women (e.g., by conducting systematic and direct recruitment through public and private sources likely to yield minority and women trainees) to the extent that such persons are available within a reasonable area of recruitment. This training commitment is not intended, and will not be used, to discriminate against any applicant for training, regardless of whether the applicant is a member of a minority group or not.

No employee will be employed as a trainee in any classification in which he or she has successfully completed a training course leading to journey person status or in which he or she has been employed as a journey person. The Contractor must satisfy this requirement by including appropriate questions in the employee’s application or by other suitable means. Regardless of the method used, the Contractor’s records must document the findings in each case.

The minimum length and type of training for each classification will be established in the training program selected by the Contractor.

No payment by ODOT will be made to the Contractor for providing this training. However, if the Contractor fails to provide adequate training and cannot show good faith efforts on its part to provide adequate training, it will be subject to a formal compliance review to determine the Contractor’s efforts in meeting the EEO laws and regulations.

B. To be filled out at the start of training and finish of training or at the end of the year, whichever comes first

C. To be submitted to the District in which the Contractor’s home office is located.

2. Tracking will be on an annual basis. The Contractor must submit the subsequent CR1 to the District in which the Contractor’s home office is located.

The prime or subcontractor conducting the training must be involved in at least one Federal project per calendar year in order to get FHWA training credit. Participation in the OJT Program is not project or contract specific.

All Contractors are encouraged to participate in the OJT program. Such a program will be considered when examining the contractor’s Good Faith Efforts toward meeting its contractual affirmative action obligations.

All Contractors shall submit their own Training Program or Apprenticeship Certificate, for approval, to the District in which the company’s home office is located.

All OJT Trainees must have the appropriate certification. Apprenticeship Certificates can be obtained from the State of Ohio, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training. The union apprenticeship agreement is not acceptable verification of an apprentice’s enrollment in a union sponsored training program. A copy of the Apprenticeship Certificate along with a statement indicating the number of months/years the employee has been in the apprenticeship program must be submitted to the EEO Coordinator in the company’s home district and to the prevailing wage coordinator in the district responsible for the project within 90 days of the apprentice beginning work on the project.

The Code of Federal Regulations Title 49, Section 26.55(d)(4)(5)(6) governs trucking operations. This section states that the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) may lease trucks from another DBE firm, including an owner-operator who is certified as a DBE. The DBE who leases trucks from another DBE receives credit for the total value of the transportation services the lessee DBE provides on the contract. The DBE may also lease trucks from a non-DBE firm, including an owner-operator. The DBE who leases trucks from a non-DBE will receive credit for only the fee or commission it receives as a result of the lease agreement. The DBE does not receive credit for the total value of the transportation services provided by the lessee, since these services are not provided by a DBE. The law requires that a lease must indicate that the DBE has exclusive use of and control over the truck for credit to be accorded to the DBE. This does not preclude the leased truck from working for others during the term of the lease with the consent of the DBE, so long as the lease gives the DBE absolute priority for use of the leased truck. Leased trucks must display the name and identification number of the DBE.

In lieu of a truck owner displaying the name and identification number of the DBE, the truck owner shall be required to furnish a photocopy of the lease agreement. Thereby, fulfilling the rule without causing undue hardship on any entity.

Credit for expenditures with DBEs for materials or supplies toward the DBE goal is described as follows:

1. When the materials or supplies are obtained from a DBE manufacturer the prime Contractor may receive credit for 100 percent of the cost of the materials or supplies toward the DBE goal. For purposes of this section, a manufacturer is a firm that operates or maintains a factory or establishment that produces, on the premises, the materials, supplies, articles, or equipment required under the contract and of the general character described by the specifications.

2. When the materials or supplies are purchased from a DBE regular dealer or supplier the prime Contractor may receive credit for 60 percent of the cost of the materials or supplies toward the DBE goal. For purposes of this section, a regular dealer or supplier is a firm that owns, operates, or maintains a store, warehouse, or other establishment in which the materials, supplies, articles or equipment of the general character described by the specifications and required under the contract are bought, kept in stock, and regularly sold or leased to the public in the usual course of business.

For subcontract agreement (C-92) purposes the following definitions will be used:

Install - DBE contractor who obtains goods, materials and supplies and fixes in place, for use, the same goods, materials and supplies. (e.g., DBE contractor obtains and fixes in place re-bar on project site). Must spend 20% of day or more on project. 100% credit toward prime’s DBE goal.

Stockpiling - DBE Contractor/Trucker who delivers materials, goods, or supplies to project site. 60% credit toward prime’s DBE goal.

Tailgating - DBE Contractor/Trucker who delivers and installs materials, goods, or supplies to project site. Must spend 20% or more time on project per day. 100% credit toward prime’s DBE goal.

It is the policy of the Ohio Department of Transportation to ensure that disadvantaged business enterprises have an equal opportunity to participate in the performance of ODOT projects. Please be aware that the requirements of Title 49, CFR Part 23, Section 5525.011, O. R. C., ODOT Administrative Regulations 5501: 5-2-01 through 5501: 5-2-04 and the Surface Transportation Uniform Relocation Assistance Act of 1987 apply to this contract.

At least ____ percent of this contract as bid shall be subcontracted to DBE (Disadvantaged Business Enterprises) who have been certified as DBEs by the Ohio Department of Transportation.

In order to be assured that the Contractor complies with this contract requirement the Contractor must provide certified payrolls from its DBE subcontractors. When the Contractor utilizes a service, for example trucking, to satisfy a part or all of its contractual goal, the Contractor, when requested, will be required to provide a copy of each canceled check issued to the DBE service provider until the goal amount is reached. The district shall total the amounts of the canceled checks and compare that total to the subcontract agreement by the parties and the C-92 issued to the Contractor for the work to be performed by the DBE subcontractor.

In the event the Contractor is unable to meet the DBE Goal placed on a project, a request for a waiver of all or part of the goal may be made to the Office of Contracts. The written request, along with information and documentation, must indicate that a Good Faith Effort (GFE) was made to meet the goal. The Contractor must provide the following information and documentation when requesting DBE goal waiver:

2. Signed copy of each subcontract or purchase order agreement between the prime and DBE subcontractor utilized in meeting the contract goal.

3. Copy of dated written communication, fax confirmation, personal contact, follow up and negotiation with the DBEs.

4. Copy of dated written communication and/or fax confirmation that bidder solicited and provided DBEs with adequate information about the plans, specifications and requirements of the contract in a timely manner to assist them in responding to a solicitation.

5. Copy of dated written communication and/ or fax confirmation of each noncompetitive DBE quote that includes the dollar value of each reference item and work type.

6. Copy of dated written communication and/ or dated fax confirmation of DBEs that were not interested in providing a quote for the project.

8. Documentation of good faith efforts (GFE) to meet the DBE subcontract goal, by looking beyond the items typically subcontract or consideration of subcontracting items normally performed by the prime as a way to meet the DBE goal.

The Contractor will receive written notification of approval/non-approval within 10 business days.

If it is determined that the Contractor did not perform a GFE, the Contractor will be notified in writing by the Office of Contracts. The Contractor, may request administrative reconsideration within 14 days of being informed that it did not perform a GFE. The Contractor must make this request in writing to the following official:

The reconsideration official will not have played any role in the original determination that the Contractor did not document sufficient good faith effort.

As part of this reconsideration, the Contractor will have the opportunity to provide written documentation or argument concerning the issue of whether it met the goal or made adequate good faith efforts to do so. ODOT will send the Contractor a written decision on reconsideration explaining the basis for finding that the Contractor did or did not meet the goal or make adequate good faith efforts. The result of the reconsideration process is not administratively appealable to the US Department of Transportation. However, it is appealable to the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas.

The Code of Federal Regulations 49, 26.37(b), requires the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) to monitor and verify that work committed to Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) firms at contract award is actually performed by the DBEs. Additionally, ODOT is required to report the DBE participation on each project, including all work, materials or service sublets. Therefore, it is ODOT’s responsibility to discern whether payments are made to DBE firms.

The affidavit is to be completed on August 15th and February 15th of each year for the life of the individual project and must be completed for each DBE subcontractor. These will be considered “interim” affidavits. If the project is finalized before the August 15^th or February 15^th deadline, the interim affidavit will not be necessary and the contractor must complete the final affidavit as described on the back of the affidavit document.

A final affidavit must be completed and signed by the contractor within 60 days of the final payment (see State of Ohio Department of Transportation Construction and Material Specifications handbook, Section 109.12D). The final affidavit seeks to verify actual total payments made to DBE firms during the life of the individual project. Each DBE firm must verify the actual payment amount.

The blank spaces of the affidavit(s) must be filled in correctly, where indicated. The affidavit(s) must be signed by the prime contractor and DBE subcontractor, or by the DBE subcontractor and DBE sub-subcontractor, if applicable. By signing the affidavit(s), the noted firm agrees that the payment amount recorded is true and accurate as of the payment time period.

Completed and signed affidavit(s) shall be mailed to the Ohio Department of Transportation, Office of Contracts, DBE Services Section, 1980 West Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio 43223.
