1.2 Failure to so examine the Contract Documents and the Site will not relieve any Bidder
from any obligation under the Bid as submitted. Neither the Commonwealth nor the Designer

and Maintenance (DCAMM) for that sub-bid trade, showing that the sub-bidder has been
approved to bid on projects of the category of work required.
--A fully completed Sub-Bidder Update Statement.
3.2 It is the sub-bidder's responsibility to obtain the necessary forms from DCAMM and to

4.3 Wherever in the Contract Documents reference is made to Massachusetts General Laws, it
shall be construed to include all amendments thereto effective as of the date of the issuance of
the invitation to bid on the proposed work.
SECTION 5--PREPARATION OF BIDS; ALTERNATES
5.1 The Form for General Bid and Form for Sub-bid must be accessed through DCAMM's E-
Bid Room and must be completed in their entirety on-line with the bidder scanning and
attaching its: 1) Certificate of Eligibility; 2) Update Statement; and 3) Bid Bond.
5.2 Where so indicated on the bid form, sums shall be expressed in both words and numerals.
Where there is a discrepancy between the Bid sum expressed in words and the Bid sum
expressed in figures, the Bid sum expressed in words shall control unless the intention of the
Bidder clearly is otherwise as determined by the Awarding Authority in its sole discretion.
5.3 Each General Bidder shall acknowledge all required alternates in Part Con the Form for
General Bid by entering the dollar amount of addition or subtraction necessitated by each
alternate. General Bidders shall enter on the Form for General Bid a single amount for each
alternate that shall consist of the sub-bidders' amounts and the amount for work performed by
the General Bidder. Each Sub-bidder shall acknowledge all required alternates in Part A on
the Form for Sub-bid by entering the dollar amount of addition or subtraction necessitated by
each alternate.
5.4 If an alternate includes work within the Bidder's scope of work and does not involve a
change in the cost of the Bid, the Bidder shall so indicate by writing "No Change" or "NIC" or
"0" in the space provided for that alternate. Sub-bidders shall enter on the Form for Sub-Bid
the amount of addition or subtraction necessitated only for those alternates expressly
identified in the Bid Documents as part of the sub-bidder's category of work. If the alternate
is not identified in the Bid Documents as affecting the sub-Bidder's category of work then the
sub-Bidder shall so indicate by writing "NIA" and only "NIA" or leaving the alternate blank.
5.5 The lowest Bidder will be determined on the basis of the sum of the base Bid and the
alternates accepted by the A warding Authority.
5.6 If the space for indicating a requirement for payment and performance bonds for filed sub-
bidders is left blank by the general bidder on the Form for General Bid, the Awarding
Authority shall interpret this as a "No."
5.7 Costs for the selected filed sub-bidder's bond premiums shall be paid for by the selected
general bidder in accordance with M.G.L. c. 149, § 44F unless the project is a project in
which contractor and subcontractor prequalification are required pursuant to M.G.L. 149,
§§ 44Dl/2 or 44D314.
5.8 If the general bidders are instructed to carry an amount for a given sub-trade listed under
Item 2, general bidders shall list the subtrade and the amount provided by the Awarding
Authority. The line under "bonds required" on the Form for General Bid should be left blank
or marked "NIA" in order for subsection 5.9 to apply.
DCAMM Instructions to Bidders for Small Projects -08/17
Page 5 of14
5.9 Upon solicitation of a subcontractor to perform the work required with respect to a
subtrade referenced in subsection 5.8, the general bidder's Contract Price shall be adjusted by
the following: a) the difference between the subcontract amount and the amount carried in the
general bid; b) the total cost of the subcontractor's bonds, if the general bidder requires such
bonds after the solicitation is completed and if the general bidder complied with 5.8 above; c)
the documented increased costs for the general bidder's bonds, if any, attributable to the
incremental difference between the amount carried for the given subtrade and the actual
subcontract amount.
5.10 Overhead and profit for supervision of the subtrade mentioned in subsections 5.8 and 5.9
above shall be included by all general bidders in Item 1 of the subdivision of the Contract
Price. No additional overhead or profit will be paid on the incremental difference between the
amount carried for the subtrade and the subcontract amount as stated in M.G.L. c. 149, §
44F(4)(a)(2).
5.11 Sub-bidders should not list Paragraph E sub-subcontractors unless requested to do so by
the Awarding Authority.
5.12 Each general bid and each Bid of a filed sub-bidder must be accompanied by a bid
deposit in the form of a bid bond; cash; or a check certified by, or a treasurer's or cashier's
check issued by, a responsible bank or trust company, payable to the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. Any bid bond shall be ( a) in a form satisfactory to the Awarding Authority, (b)
with a surety company qualified to do business in the Commonwealth and (c) conditioned
upon the faithful performance by the principal of the agreements contained in the Bid.
5.13 The amount of such bid deposit shall be 5% five per cent of the value of the Bid
including alternates.
5.14 All Bidders must scan and attach their bid bond with their electronic bid submission.
The three lowest bidders must submit their original bid bond or bank check to DCAMM
immediately following the bid opening which must be received in DCAMM's Bid Room
within 48 hours of the bid opening, weekends and holidays excluded. Failure to submit
originals within the 48 hour time limit will result in rejection of the bid or other sanctions.
SECTION 6 -SUBMISSION OF BIDS
6.1 Each Sub-bid and General Bid, including the bid deposit, DCAMM Certificate of
Eligibility, and properly completed DCAMM Update Statement, using the most recent
form available on DCAMM's website shall be submitted through DCAMM's E-Bid Room.
6.2 All Bids must be received by the Awarding Authority through DCAMM's E-Bid Room
no later than the applicable date and time specified on page 1 of these Instructions to Bidders.
Any Bid not received by the applicable deadline will not be accepted.

DCAMM Instructions to Bidders for Small Projects -08/17
Page 6 of14
SECTION 7 -WITHDRAW AL OF BIDS; REJECTION OF BIDS
7.1 Any Bid may be withdrawn or modified by the Bidder prior to the specified deadline for
the receipt of Bids through DCAMM's E-Bidroom.
7.2 A Bidder may withdraw its Bid without penalty at any time up to the time of Award as
defined below in subsection 9 .1 only upon demonstrating to the satisfaction of the Awarding
Authority that a death or disability has occurred or a bona fide clerical or mechanical error of
a substantial nature was made during the preparation of the bid. Failure to demonstrate
conclusively that a bona fide clerical or mechanical error of a substantial nature was made
may result in forfeiture of the Bid Deposit.
7.3 The Awarding Authority reserves the right to waive any informality in or to reject any and
all Bids if it is in the public interest to do so. Without limiting the foregoing, the Awarding
Authority reserves the right to reject unit prices which it deems unduly high or unduly low as
unbalanced.
SECTION 8 -MBE/WBE PARTICIPATION
8.1 The apparent low Bidder's compliance with the requirements of this Section 8 is a
prerequisite for receiving the Award of the Contract.
8.2 The Supplier Diversity Office ("SDO") certified Minority Business Enterprise ("MBE")
and Women Business Enterprise ("WBE") ( collectively "MBE/WBE") participation goals for
this Contract are as set forth on the second page of these Instructions to Bidders. The
successful Contractor must utilize a mix of both MBE and WBE firms whose participation,
when added together, meets the overall combined goal set for the Contract. It is important
that both MBE and WBE firms have an opportunity to work on public projects with a
combined MBE/WBE goal. Therefore, projects with a combined goal must include a
reasonable representation of both MBE and WBE firms to meet the combined goal. Proposed
MBE/WBE participation plans that include solely MBE or solely WBE participation, or have
only nominal participation by one or the other to meet the combined goal, will not be
considered responsive. Contractors that are themselves MBE or WBE certified will be
required to bring a reasonable amount of participation by a firm(s) that holds the certification
which is not held by the Contractor to the project. Although the Contract contains a combined
goal, participation by MBE and WBE firms must be reported and tracked separately.
8.3 The Awarding Authority reserves the right to reduce or waive the MBE/WBE
participation goals established for this Contract upon written request made by a general bidder
within the time frame set forth in Section 8.3. Such written request must demonstrate to the
satisfaction of the Awarding Authority that it is not feasible for a non-MBE or non-WBE
general bidder to meet the goals established for this Contract based upon any or all of the
following: (i) actual MBE/WBE availability, (ii) the geographic location of the project to the
extent related to MBE/WBE availability, (iii) the scope of the work, (iv) the percentage of
work available for subcontracting to MBE/WBEs and/or (v) other relevant factors, including a
documented inability by the prospective Bidder to obtain commitments from MBE/WBE
subcontractors sufficient to meet the MBE/WBE goals after having made a diligent, good
DCAMM Instructions to Bidders for Small Projects -08/ 17
Page 7 of14
faith effort to do so. All of the foregoing documentation shall accompany the Bidder's request
for a reduction or waiver of the MBE/WBE participation goals. Such documentation shall
include, at a minimum, the following:
--A list of all items of work under the Contract that the Bidder made available for
subcontracting to MBE/WBEs. The Bidder shall identify all items of work, other than work
to be performed by filed sub-bidders, that the Bidder did not make so available and shall state
the reasons for not making such work available for subcontracting to MBE/WBEs. The
Bidder shall also demonstrate that, where commercially reasonable, subcontracts were divided
into units capable of being performed by MBE/WBEs.
--Evidence that the Bidder sent written notices soliciting Bids or proposals to perform the
items of work made available by the Bidder for subcontracting to MBE/WBEs to all
MBE/WBEs qualified to perform such work. The Bidder shall identify (i) each MBE/WBE
solicited, and (ii) each MBE/WBE listed in the Supplier Diversity Office (SDO) directory
under the applicable trade category that was not solicited and reasons therefor. The Bidder
shall also state the dates that notices were mailed and provide a copy of the written notice(s)
sent.
--Evidence that the Bidder made reasonable efforts to follow up the written notices sent to
MBE/WBEs with telephone calls or personal visits in order to determine with certainty
whether the MBE/WBEs were interested in performing the work. Phone logs or other
documentation must be submitted.
--A statement of the response received from each MBE/WBE solicited, including the reason
for rejecting any MBE/WBE who submitted a bid or proposal.
--Evidence of efforts made to assist MBE/WBEs that needed assistance in obtaining bonding
or insurance, or lines of credit with suppliers if the inability ofMBE/WBEs to obtain bonding,
insurance, or lines of credit is the reason given for the Bidder's inability to meet the
MBE/WBE goals.
The Bidder may also submit any other information supporting its request for a waiver or
reduction in the MBE/WBE participation goals, including, without limitation, evidence that
the Bidder placed advertisements in appropriate media and trade association publications
announcing the Bidder's interest in obtaining bids or proposals from MBE/WBEs, and/or sent
written notification to MBE/WBE economic development assistance agencies, trade groups
and other organizations notifying them of the Contract and the work to be subcontracted by
the Bidder to MBE/WBEs. The Bidder shall also submit any other information reasonably
requested by the Awarding Authority to show that the Bidder has taken all actions that could
reasonably be expected to achieve the MBE/WBE participation goals.
8.4 If filed sub-bids are solicited for this Contract, requests from prospective general bidders
to reduce or waive the MBE/WBE participation goals for this Contract must be received by
the Awarding Authority no later than four (4) working days after the list of filed sub-
Bidders is mailed by the Awarding Authority to persons who have taken out plans for
the Contract. If there are no filed sub-bids solicited for this Contract, requests to reduce or
waive the MBE/WBE participation goals for this Contract must be received by the Awarding
DCAMM Instructions to Bidders for Small Projects -08/17
Page 8 of14
Authority no later than fourteen (14) calendar days before the date set for the receipt of
general bids. THE AW ARD ING AUTHORITY WILL NOT CONSIDER ANY
REQUEST TO REDUCE OR WAIVE THE MBE/WBE PARTICIPATION GOALS
FOR THIS CONTRACT THAT IS RECEIVED AFTER THESE DEADLINES. Any
reduction or waiver of the MBE/WBE participation goals for this Contract will be made by
written addendum.
8.5 No later than five (5) working days after the opening of general bids, the apparent low
Bidder shall submit the following documents to the Awarding Authority's Compliance Office:
(i) a completed Schedule for Participation by Minority/Women Business Enterprises
("Schedule for Participation") in the form provided by the Awarding Authority showing
MBE/ WBE participation in amounts equal to or exceeding the MBE/WBE participation goals
for this Contract, (ii) a completed Letter of Intent in the form provided by the Awarding
Authority for each MBE/WBE listed in the Schedule for Participation, and (iii) a current SDO
certification letter for each MBE/WBE listed in the Schedule for Participation showing that
the MBE/WBE is currently certified in the area of work for which it is listed on the Letter of
Intent.
8.6 Each Letter of Intent shall identify and describe the work to be performed by the named
MBE/WBE (the "MBE/WBE Work") with enough specificity to permit the Awarding
Authority to identify the particular items of contract work that the MBE/WBE will perform
for MBE/WBE participation credit. The Awarding Authority reserves the right to reject any
Letter of Intent if the price to be paid for the MBE/WBE Work does not bear a reasonable
relationship to the value of such work under the Contract as determined by the Awarding
Authority.
8.7 Within five (5) working days after receipt of the Schedule for Participation, Letters of
Intent, and SDO certification letters, the Awarding Authority shall review and either approve
or disapprove the apparent low Bidder's submissions. If the apparent low Bidder has not
submitted an appropriate Schedule For Participation and appropriate Letters oflntent and
SDO certification letters establishing that the MBE/WBE participation goal for the project
will be met, the apparent low Bidder will be considered ineligible for Award of the Contract
and the Awarding Authority will Award the Contract to the second lowest Bidder, subject to
said Bidder's compliance with these conditions.
8.8 The Bidder's attention is called to Article XIII of the General Conditions of the Contract
which requires the Contractor to submit, within 30 days of the Contract Date, signed
subcontracts with all subcontractors or a purchase order or invoice from each material supplier
and/or manufacturer listed on the Schedule for Participation.
8.9 A filed sub-bidder is not required to submit a Schedule for Participation with its Bid. A
filed sub-bidder may, at its option, submit a Letter of Intent with its Bid if it is a SD0 certified
MBE/WBE. If a filed sub-bidder intends to sub-subcontract work to a SDO certified
MBE/WBE, and the filed sub-bidder wishes that sub-subcontract or purchase order to be
credited toward the participation goals for this Contract, the filed sub-bidder should submit a
Letter of Intent from that MBE/WBE, either with its Bid, or after award of the subcontract. A
filed sub-bidder can subcontract out up to 20% of its work to MBE/WBEs unless such work is
DCAMM Instructions to Bidders for Small Projects -08/17
Page 9 of14
designated as sub-sub contract Paragraph E work in the Bid Documents in which case the
20% cap does not apply.
SECTION 9 --CONTRACT AW ARD
9.1 "Award" means the determination, selection, and notification of the lowest, responsible
and eligible Bidder by the Awarding Authority.
9.2 The Awarding Authority will award the Contract within thirty days, Saturdays, Sundays,
and legal holidays excluded after the opening of Bids in accordance with M.G.L. c.149 §44A.
9.3 The Contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible and eligible Bidder as determined by
the Awarding Authority, except in the event of substitution as provided under M.G.L. c.149,
§§44E and 44F, in which cases the procedure as required by said sections shall govern the
award of the Contract.
9.4 As used herein, the term "lowest responsible and eligible Bidder" shall mean the general
bidder whose Bid is the lowest of those Bidders who, in the Awarding Authority's opinion, are
ready, willing and able to comply with all requirements of the Contract Documents and
demonstrably possess the skill, ability, and integrity necessary for the faithful performance of
the Work, based on the determination of past performance and financial soundness under (i)
M.G.L. c.149 §44A and following sections, (ii) the rules, regulations, orders, guidelines and
policies promulgated from time to time by the Commissioner of DCAMM and (iii) any other
relevant criteria that the Commissioner may prescribe. If the A warding Authority determines
that any non-filed subcontractor chosen by a Bidder is not qualified or responsible, then the
Bidder shall obtain another subcontractor satisfactory to Awarding Authority and the contract
price shall not be adjusted.
9.5 The general bid price shall be the price set forth in paragraph C of the Form for General Bid.
No general Bid shall be rejected (i) because the sum of the prices set forth in Item 1 and 2 does
not equal the general bid price set forth in said paragraph C or (ii) because of one or more errors
in setting forth the name, the sub-bid price of a sub-bidder, or the total of Item 2, provided that
the sub-bidder or sub-bidders designated are clearly identifiable, or (iii) because the plans and
specifications do not accompany the Bid or are not submitted with the Bid.
9.6 Should the Contract Documents require submission of special data to accompany the Bid,
the Awarding Authority reserves the right to rule the Bidder's failure to submit such data an
informality and to receive said data subsequently within a reasonable time as set by the
A warding Authority, provided that no such ruling shall result in an unfair advantage to the
Bidder.
9.7 The Awarding Authority also reserves the right to reject any sub-bid if it determines that
such sub-bid does not represent the Bid of a person competent to perform the work as specified,
or if fewer than three sub-bids are received for a sub-trade and the Bid prices are not reasonable
for acceptance without further competition.
9.8 If the Awarding Authority decides to reject all general bids or if the Awarding Authority

the work involved for the subtrades for which the sub-bids are so retained and used; and
provided, further, that the Awarding Authority shall obtain the consent of each sub-bidder
included in any award of a general Contract made pursuant to the second opening of general
bids if such award is not made within ninety days, Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays
excluded, after the opening of such sub-bids.
SECTION 10 -EXECUTION OF CONTRACTS
10.1 If a selected filed sub-bidder fails, within five days, Saturdays, Sundays and legal
holidays excluded, after presentation of a Subcontract by the general bidder to which the
Contract was awarded, to perform its agreement to execute a Subcontract in the form provided
by the Awarding Authority with such general bidder contingent upon the execution of the
general Contract, and, if requested to do so by such general bidder in the general bid, to
furnish a performance and a payment bond as stated in its filed sub-bid, such general bidder
and the Awarding Authority shall select from the other filed sub-bids duly filed with the
A warding Authority for such subtrade and not rejected the lowest responsible and eligible
filed sub-bidder at the amount named in its filed sub-bid as so filed against whose standing
and ability the general Contractor makes no objection, and the Contract price shall be adjusted

the delinquent filed sub-bidder.
10.2 Upon designation of the apparent low bidder at bid opening, the general bidder shall
submit properly executed copies of each of the following documents prior to the date set for

general bidder will be deemed to be representing to the Awarding Authority that it has executed
subcontracts with all of its subcontractors such that the Awarding Authority may release the Bid
Deposit with respect to the same. Misrepresentation of the foregoing shall render the general
bidder liable to the Awarding Authority for the sum of any Bid Deposit released by the
Awarding Authority with respect to a filed sub-bidder that fails to execute its subcontract.

DCAMM, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to enter into a contract by the target contract
execution date with the General Contractor prior to the receipt any of the above documents and
issue a conditional notice to proceed with delineated preliminary contract work only, such as the
submittal process but not any site work, pending the submission of the requested
documentation. Failure to meet the requirements of the conditional notice to proceed may result
in contract termination, and a submission of a claim under the General Contractor's bid bond.
10.3 Please note that no part of the General Contractor's work may be subcontracted
without the prior written approval of the Awarding Authority. If the General Contractor
desires to subcontract any part of the Work, other than work covered by Item 2, filed sub-
bidders, the General Contractor must promptly forward to the Awarding Authority a list in
triplicate designating the work to be performed and the name of each proposed subcontractor
for approval by the Awarding Authority. Approved subcontractors are eligible for direct

prescribed in M.G.L. c. 149, § 44A for making an award; except that, if any general bidder
fails to perform its agreement to execute the Contract and furnish Performance and Payment
Bonds as stated in its Bid, then said general bidder's Bid Deposit shall become the property of
the Commonwealth as liquidated damages; provided that the amount of the Bid Deposit that
becomes the property of the Commonwealth shall not exceed the difference between the
Contractor's Bid price and the Bid price of the next lowest responsible and eligible Bidder;
and provided further that, in the case of death, disability, bona fide clerical or mechanical
error of a substantial nature, or other similar unforeseen circumstances affecting the general
bidder, such general bidder's Bid Deposit shall be returned.
11.2 The Bid Deposits of the three lowest sub-bidders in each category shall be returned
within five (5) days, Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays excluded, after the execution of
the General Contract; except that, if a selected sub-bidder fails to perform its agreement to
execute a sub-contract with the general bidder selected as the general contractor, contingent
upon the execution of the General Contract, and, if requested to do so in the general bid by
such general bidder, to furnish a Performance and Payment Bonds as stated in its sub-bid in
accordance with M.G.L. c. 149, § 44F(2), the Bid Deposit of such sub-bidder shall become
the property of the Commonwealth as liquidated damages, provided that the amount of the
Bid Deposit that shall become the property of the Commonwealth shall not exceed the

ATTACHMENT A
PREVAILING WAGE SCHEDULE
The minimum wage rates provided in the following pages have been provided by the
Department of Labor Standards of the Massachusetts Department of Labor and
Workforce Development. The Awarding Authority is not responsible for errors or
omissions in such wage rates. Prevailing Wage Schedules will be updated annually
through the duration of the project.
M.G.L. c. 149, §§ 26 and 27 provide as follows:
" ... Payments by employers to health and welfare plans, pension plans and supplementary
unemployment benefit plans under collective bargaining agreements or understandings
between organized labor and employers shall be included for the purpose of establishing
minimum wage rates as herein provided .
. . . The aforesaid rates of wages in the schedule of wage rates shall include payments by
employers to health and welfare plans, pension plans and supplementary unemployment
benefit plans as provided in said section twenty-six, and such payments shall be considered as
payments to persons under this section performing work as herein provided. Any employer
engaged in the construction of such works who does not make payments to a health and
welfare plan, a pension plan and a supplementary unemployment benefit plan, where such
payments are included in said rates of wages, shall pay the amount of said payments directly
to each employee engaged in said construction"
Mass General Laws c. 149, §27, as amended on August 8, 2008 requires annual updates to
prevailing wage schedules for all public construction projects lasting longer than one year.
The Contractor is required to obtain the wage schedules from awarding authorities, and
to pay no less than these rates to covered workers. The Contractor and all Subcontractors
are required to anticipate such annual updated prevailing wage schedules and neither the
Contractor nor any Subcontractors shall be entitled to claim additional compensation for
base contract work due to updated prevailing wage schedules.
The minimum wage rates issued by the Department of Labor Standards for this and all
other projects are project specific and the rates provided in this bid package and those
provided as annual updates for this project will govern the prevailing wages for this
project. For general informational purposes contractors and subcontractors may obtain
sample current prevailing wage rates for different locations in Massachusetts by accessing the
DLS website at www.mass.gov/dols/pw and requesting an "example" copy of a prevailing wage
schedule.
DCAMM requires submission of weekly certified payroll reports through DCAMM's
Online Compliance Reporting System.

Information about Prevailing Wage Schedules for Awarding Authorities and Contractors
This wage schedule applies only to the specific project referenced at the top of this page and uniquely identified by the
"Wage Request Number" on all pages of this schedule.
Director
An Awarding Authority must request an updated wage schedule from the Department of Labor Standards ("DLS") ifit has
not opened bids or selected a contractor within 90 days of the date of issuance of the wage schedule. For CM AT RISK
projects (bid pursuant to G.L. c.149A), the earlier of: (a) the execution date of the GMP Amendment, or (b) the bid for the first
construction scope of work must be within 90-days of the wage schedule issuance date.
The wage schedule shall be incorporated in any advertisement or call for bids for the project as required by M.G.L. c. 149,
§ 27. The wage schedule shall be made a part of the contract awarded for the project. The wage schedule must be posted in a
conspicuous place at the work site for the life of the project in accordance with M.G.L. c. 149 § 27. The wages listed on the
wage schedule must be paid to employees performing construction work on the project whether they are employed by the prime·
contractor, a filed sub-bidder, or any sub-contractor.
All apprentices working on the project are required to be registered with the Massachusetts Department of Labor
Standards, Division of Apprentice Standards (DLS/DAS). Apprentice must keep his/her apprentice identification card on
his/her person during all work hours on the project. An apprentice registered with DAS may be paid the lower apprentice
wage rate at the applicable step as provided on the prevailing wage schedule. Any apprentice not registered with DLS/DAS
regardless of whether or not they are registered with any other federal, state, local, or private agency must be paid the
journeyworker's rate for the trade.
The wage rates will remain in effect for the duration of the project, except in the case of multi-year public construction
projects. For construction projects lasting longer than one year, awarding authorities must request an updated wage schedule.
Awarding authorities are required to request these updates no later than two weeks before the anniversary of the date the
contract was executed by the awarding authority and the general contractor. For multi-year CM AT RISK projects, awarding
authority must request an annual update no later than two weeks before the anniversary date, determined as the earlier of: (a)
the execution date of the GMP Amendment, or (b) the execution date of the first amendment to permit procurement of
construction services. Contractors are required to obtain the wage schedules from awarding authorities, and to pay no less than
these rates to covered workers. The annual update requirement is not applicable to 27F "rental of equipment" contracts.
Every contractor or subcontractor which performs construction work on the project is required to submit weekly payroll
reports and a Statement of Compliance directly to the awarding authority by mail or email and keep them on file for three years.
Each weekly payroll report must contain: the employee's name, address, occupational classification, hours worked, and wages
paid. Do not submit weekly payroll reports to DLS. A sample of a payroll reporting form may be obtained at
http://www.mass.gov/dols/pw.
Contractors with questions about the wage rates or classifications included on the wage schedule have an affirmative
obligation to inquire with DLS at (617) 626-6953.
Employees not receiving the prevailing wage rate set forth on the wage schedule may report the violation to the Fair Labor
Division of the office of the Attorney General at (617) 727-3465.
Failure of a contractor or subcontractor to pay the prevailing wage rates listed on the wage schedule to all employees who
perform construction work on the project is a violation of the law and subjects the contractor or subcontractor to civil and

Division of Capital Asset Management
,_ • • •r I• -• •
when added to the annual cost to complete the bidder's
other currently held contracts, may not exceed the bidder's

determine whether the low bidder is within its Aggregate
Work Limit:
Review Update Statement Question #2 to
make sure that all requested information is
provided and that the bidder has accurately
calculated and totaled the annualized value of
all incomplete work on its currently held
contracts (column 9).
Determine the annual dollar value of the work
to be performed on your project. This is done
as follows:
(i) If the project is to be completed in less
than 12 months, the annual dollar value of
the work is equal to the full amount of the
bid.
(ii) If the project will take more than 12 months
to complete, calculate the number of years
given to complete the project by dividing
the total number of months in the project
schedule by 12 (calculate to 3 decimal
places), then divide the amount of the bid
by the calculated number of years to find
the annual dollar value of the work.
Add the annualized value of all of the bidder's
incomplete contract work (the total of column
9 on page 5) to the annual dollar value of the
work to be performed on your project. The
total may not exceed the bidder's
Aggregate Work Limit.

fair competition. An awarding authority may reject a
corrected Update Statement if it contains unfavorable
information about the contractor that was omitted from the
Update Statement filed with the contractor's bid. [810 CMR

SUMMARY OF EXCAVATION AND TRENCH SAFETY REGULATION (520 CMR 14.00 ET SEO.)
This summary was prepared by the Massachusetts Department of Public Safety pursuant to G.L.c.82A and does not include all
requirements of the 520 CMR 14.00. To view the full regulation and G.L.c.82A, go to www/mass.gov/dps
Pursuant to M.G.L. c. 82, § 1, the Department of Public Safety,jointly with the Division of Occupational Safety, drafted regulations
relative to trench safety. The regulation is codified in section 14.00 of title 520 of the Code of Massachusetts Regulations. The
regulation requires all excavators to obtain a permit prior to the excavation of a trench made for a construction-related purpose on
public or private land or rights-of-way. All municipalities must establish a local permitting authority for the purpose of issuing
permits for trenches within their municipality. Trenches on land owned or controlled by a public (state) agency requires a permit to be
issued by that public agency unless otherwise designated.
In addition to the permitting requirements mandated by statute, the trench safety regulations require that all excavators,
whether public or private, take specific precautions to protect the general public and prevent unauthorized access to unattended
trenches. Accordingly, unattended trenches must be covered, barricaded or backfilled. Covers must be road plates at least%" thick or
equivalent; barricades must be fences at least 6' high with no openings greater than 4" between vertical supports; backfilling must be
sufficient to eliminate the trench. Alternatively, excavators may choose to attend trenches at all times, for instance by hiring a police
detail, security guard or other attendant who will be present during times when the trench will be unattended by the excavator.
The regulations further provide that local permitting authorities, the Department of Public Safety, or the Division of
Occupational Safety may order an immediate shutdown of a trench in the event of a death or serious injury; the failure to obtain a
permit; or the failure to implement or effectively use adequate protections for the general public. The trench shall remain shutdown
until re-inspected and authorized to re-open provided, however, that excavators shall have the right to appeal an immediate shutdown.
Permitting authorities are further authorized to suspend or revoke a permit following a hearing. Excavators may also be subject to
administrative fines issued by the Department of Public Safety for identified violations.

SUMMARY OF 1926 CFR SUBPART P -OSHA EXCAVATION STANDARD
This is a worker protection standard, and is designed to protect employees who are working inside a trench. This summary was
prepared by the Massachusetts Division of Occupational Safety and not OSHA for informational purposes only and does not constitute
an official interpretation by OSHA of their regulations, and may not include all aspects of the standard.
For further information or a full copy of the standard go to www.osha.gov.
• Trench Definition per the OSHA standard:
o An excavation made below the surface of the ground, narrow in relation to its length.
o In general, the depth is greater than the width, but the width of the trench is not greater than fifteen feet.
• Protective Systems to prevent soil wall collapse are always required in trenches deeper than 5', and are also required in
trenches less than 5' deep when the competent person determines that a hazard exists. Protection options include:
o Shoring. Shoring must be used in accordance with the OSHA Excavation standard appendices, the equipment
manufacturer's tabulated data, or designed by a registered professional engineer.
o Shielding (Trench Boxes). Trench boxes must be used in accordance with the equipment manufacturer's tabulated
data, or a registered professional engineer.
o Sloping or Benching. In Type C soils (what is most typically encountered) the excavation must extend horizontally
I Y, feet for every foot of trench depth on both sides, 1 foot for Type B soils, and% foot for Type A soils.
o A registered professional engineer must design protective systems for all excavations greater than 20' in depth.
• Ladders must be used in trenches deeper than 4'.
o Ladders must be inside the trench with workers at all times, and located within 25' of unobstructed lateral travel for
every worker in the trench.
o Ladders must extend 3' above the top of the trench so workers can safely get onto and off of the ladder.
• Inspections of every trench worksite are required:
o Prior to the start of each shift, and again when there is a change in conditions such as a rainstorm.
o Inspections must be conducted by the competent person (see below).
• Competent Person(s) is:
o Capable (i.e., trained and knowledgeable) in identifying existing and predictable hazards in the trench, and other
working conditions which may pose a hazard to workers, and
o Authorized by management to take necessary corrective action to eliminate the hazards. Employees must be
removed from hazardous areas until the hazard has been corrected.
• Underground Utilities must be:
o Identified prior to opening the excavation ( e.g., contact Digsafe ).
o Located by safe and acceptable means while excavating.
o Protected, supported, or removed once exposed.
• Spoils must be kept back a minimum of2' from the edge of the trench.
• Surface Encumbrances creating a hazard must be removed or supported to safeguard employees. Keep heavy equipment
and heavy material as far back from the edge of the trench as possible.
• Stability of Adjacent Structures:

SUMMARY OF EXCAVATION AND TRENCH SAFETY REGULATION (520 CMR 14.00 ET SEQ.)
This summary was prepared by the Massachusetts Department of Public Safety pursuant to G.L.c.82A and does not include all
requirements of the 520 CMR 14.00. To view the full regulation and G.L.c.82A, go to www/mass.gov/dps
Pursuant to M.G .L. c. 82, § I, the Department of Public Safety, jointly with the Division of Occupational Safety, drafted regulations
relative to trench safety. The regulation is codified in section 14.00 of title 520 of the Code of Massachusetts Regulations. The
regulation requires all excavators to obtain a permit prior to the excavation of a trench made for a construction-related purpose on
public or private land or rights-of-way. All municipalities must establish a local permitting authority for the purpose of issuing
permits for trenches within their municipality. Trenches on land owned or controlled by a public (state) agency requires a permit to be
issued by that public agency unless otherwise designated.
In addition to the permitting requirements mandated by statute, the trench safety regulations require that all excavators,
whether public or private, take specific precautions to protect the general public and prevent unauthorized access to unattended
trenches. Accordingly, unattended trenches must be covered, barricaded or backfilled. Covers must be road plates at least :Y;' thick or
equivalent; barricades must be fences at least 6' high with no openings greater than 4" between vertical supports; backfilling must be
sufficient to eliminate the trench. Alternatively, excavators may choose to attend trenches at all times, for instance by hiring a police
detail, security guard or other attendant who will be present during times when the trench will be unattended by the excavator.
The regulations further provide that local permitting authorities, the Department of Public Safety, or the Division of
Occupational Safety may order an immediate shutdown of a trench in the event of a death or serious injury; the failure to obtain a
permit; or the failure to implement or effectively use adequate protections for the general public. The trench shall remain shutdown
until re-inspected and authorized to re-open provided, however, that excavators shall have the right to appeal an immediate shutdown.
Permitting authorities are further authorized to suspend or revoke a permit following a hearing. Excavators may also be subject to
administrative fines issued by the Department of Public Safety for identified violations.
SUMMARY OF 1926 CFR SUBPART P -OSHA EXCAVATION STANDARD
This is a worker protection standard, and is designed to protect employees who are working inside a trench. This summary was
prepared by the Massachusetts Division of Occupational Safety and not OSHA for informational purposes only and does not constitute
an official interpretation by OSHA of their regulations, and may not include all aspects of the standard.
For further information or a full copy of the standard go to www .osha.gov.
• Trench Definition per the OSHA standard:
o An excavation made below the surface of the ground, narrow in relation to its length.
o In general, the depth is greater than the width, but the width of the trench is not greater than fifteen feet.
• Protective Systems to prevent soil wall collapse are always required in trenches deeper than 5', and are also required in
trenches less than 5' deep when the competent person determines that a hazard exists. Protection options include:
o Shoring. Shoring must be used in accordance with the OSHA Excavation standard appendices, the equipment
manufacturer's tabulated data, or designed by a registered professional engineer.
o Shielding (Trench Boxes). Trench boxes must be used in accordance with the equipment manufacturer's tabulated
data, or a registered professional engineer.
o Sloping or Benching. In Type C soils (what is most typically encountered) the excavation must extend horizontally
I '/z feet for every foot of trench depth on both sides, I foot for Type B soils, and 'I. foot for Type A soils.
o A registered professional engineer must design protective systems for all excavations greater than 20' in depth.
• Ladders must be used in trenches deeper than 4'.
o Ladders must be inside the trench with workers at all times, and located within 25' of unobstructed lateral travel for
every worker in the trench.
o Ladders must extend 3' above the top of the trench so workers can safely get onto and off of the ladder.
• Inspections of every trench worksite are required:
o Prior to the start of each shift, and again when there is a change in conditions such as a rainstorm.
o Inspections must be conducted by the competent person (see below).
• Competent Person(s) is:
o Capable (i.e., trained and knowledgeable) in identifying existing and predictable hazards in the trench, and other
working conditions which may pose a hazard to workers, and
o Authorized by management to take necessary corrective action to eliminate the hazards. Employees must be
removed from hazardous areas until the hazard has been corrected.
DCAM Excavator Permit Supp. 3-09 3 of 4
• Underground Utilities must be:
o Identified prior to opening the excavation ( e.g., contact Digsafe ).
o Located by safe and acceptable means while excavating.
o Protected, supported, or removed once exposed.
• Spoils must be kept back a minimum of2' from the edge of the trench.
• Surface Encumbrances creating a hazard must be removed or supported to safeguard employees. Keep heavy equipment
and heavy material as far back from the edge of the trench as possible.
• Stability of Adjacent Structures:
o Where the stability of adjacent structures is endangered by creation of the trench, they must be underpinned, braced,
or otherwise supported.
o Sidewalks, pavements, etc. shall not be undermined unless a support system or other method of protection is
provided. ·
• Protection from water accumulation hazards:
o It is not allowable for employees to work in trenches with accumulated water. If water control such as pumping is
used to prevent water accumulation, this must be monitored by the competent person.
o If the trench interrupts natural drainage of surface water, ditches, dikes or other means must be used to prevent this
water from entering the excavation.
• Additional Requirements:
o For mobile equipment operated near the edge of the trench, a warning system such as barricades or stop logs must be
used.
o Employees are not permitted to work underneath loads. Operators may not remain in vehicles being loaded unless
vehicles are equipped with adequate protection as per 1926.601 (b )(6).
o Employees must wear high-visibility clothing in traffic work zones.
o Air monitoring must be conducted in trenches deeper than 4' if the potential for a hazardous atmosphere exists. If a
hazardous atmosphere is found to exist (e.g., 0 2 <19.5% or >23.5%, 20% LEL, specific chemical hazard), adequate
protections shall be taken such as ventilation of the space.
o Walkways are required where employees must cross over the trench. Walkways with guardrails must be provided
for crossing over trenches > 6' deep.
o Employees must be protected from loose rock or soil through protections such as scaling or protective barricades.

frequently required by Laws, including without limitation hazardous materials laws, or by
the Supplementary General Conditions or Specifications. Disposal of chemical waste
shall be performed in accordance with requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).
Fueling and lubricating of vehicles and equipment shall be conducted in a manner that
affords the maximum protection against spills and evaporation. Lubricants shall be
disposed of in accordance with procedures meeting all applicable Laws. The Contractor
shall immediately notify the Designer of any hazardous materials release large enough to
require reporting under applicable Laws. The Contractor shall be responsible for
immediately cleaning up in accordance with Laws any oil or hazardous materials releases
resulting from its operations. Any costs incurred in cleaning up any such releases shall be
borne by the Contractor.
16. Weather Protection M.G.L. c.149 s. 44G.and 44F 1 .
The Contractor sha umish and install "weat er protection," which means temporary
protection of that Work adversely affected by moisture, wind and cold. Weather protection
shall be achieved by covering, enclosing and/or heating working areas such that a minimum
temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit is maintained at the working surface during the
months of November through March in order to permit construction to be carried on during
such period in accordance with the Progress Schedule. After the building or portion thereof
is completely enclosed by either permanent construction or substantial temporary materials
having a resistance comparable to the specified permanent construction, the Contractor shall
provide heat therein of not less than 55 degrees F. nor more than 75 degrees F. The
foregoing provisions do not supersede any specific requirements for methods of
construction, curing of materials and the like. Such weather protection shall be consistent
with the Progress Schedule, shall permit the continuous progress of the Work necessary to
maintain an orderly and efficient sequence of construction operations, shall include one
thermometer for every 2,000 square feet of floor space or fraction thereof, shall be subject to
the Approval of the Awarding Authority, and shall meet such additional requirements as
DCAMM General Conditions of the Contract c. 149 Rev.10-17 Page 15 of60
may be specified by DCAMM and by the Supplementary General Conditions or the
Specifications.
17. Furnishings and Equipment.
When, in the opinion of the Designer, any portion of the Work is in a reasonable
condition to receive fittings, furmture, or other property of the Owner not covered by
this Contract, the Contractor shall allow the Awarding Authority to bring such fittings,
furniture, and/or other property into such portions of the Work and shall provide all
reasonable facilities and protection thereof. No such occupancy shall be construed as
interfering with the provisions relating to time of completion, or as constituting an
acceptance of the whole or any part of the Work. Any furniture or fittings so installed
shall be placed in the Work at the risk of the Awarding Authority except that the
Contractor shall be liable for damages or losses to such furniture or fittings to the
extent such damages or losses arise in whole or in part from the negligence or
intentional misconduct of Contractor, Subcontractors, their agents and/or employees,
or anyone for whose acts Contractor is responsible.
18. Form for Sub-contract.
The Contractor when subcontracting with sub-bidders filed pursuant to M.G.L. c. 149,
s.44F shall use the form for sub-Contract in M.G.L. c. 149, s. 44F(4) (c). The
Contractor shall not interpret paragraph 3 of the statutory form of Subcontract to
require such sub-bidders to provide insurance with limits higher than the limits that
are required by Article XIV of these General Conditions of the Contract assuming that
the term "Contractor" refers to the sub-bidder and that the term "Contract Price" refers
to the sub-bidder's price stated in paragraph 1 of the statutory form of Subcontract.
19. Sales Tax Exemption and Other Taxes.
All building materials and supplies as well as the rental charges for construction
vehicles, equipment and machmery rented exclusively for use on the Site, or while
being used exclusively for the transportation of materials for the Work are entitled to
an exemption from sales taxes under M.G.L. c. 64H, s. 6(f). The Contractor shall take
all action required to obtain the benefit of such sales tax exemption. The Contractor
shall bear the cost of any sales taxes that Contractor incurs in connection with the
Work and the Awarding Authority shall not reimburse the Contractor for any such
taxes. The exemption number assigned to the Contractor as an exempt purchaser shall
be provided to die Contractor by the A warding Authority upon the written request of
the Contractor.
20. Final Cleaning.
At the completion of the Work, the Contractor shall remove all waste materials, rubbish,
tools, equipment, machinery and surplus materials, and professionally clean all sight-
exposed surfaces so that the Work is clean and ready for occupancy. Subsequent to
installation of User Agency furniture, telephones, and equipment, the Contractor shall
provide such additional cleaning as may be necessary to remove any soil resulting from
mstallation of such furniture, telephones and equipment.
21. Maintenance Data.
Subject to such additional requirements as may be provided in the Supplementary
General Conditions or Specifications, the Contractor shall compile 3 complete and
identical binders of operating and maintenance data for the ent1re Work. The Contractor
shall submit record maintenance data to the Designer for approval, shall submit
approved maintenance data to the Awarding Authority, and shall instruct and train the
User Agency's personnel in proper inspection and maintenance procedures.
22. Closeout Procedures.
The Contractor shall take all actions and submit all items required for the issuance of the
Certificate of Agency Use and Occupancy and Final Acceptance as specified in the
Contract Documents.
23. Risk of Loss.
DCAMM General Conditions of the Contract c. 149 Rev.10-17 Page 16 of60
The Contractor shall bear all risk of loss to the Work during the term of the Contract
except for any portion of the Work as to which the Certificate of Agency Use and
Occupancy has been issued pursuant to Article VI of these General Conditions of the
Contract. Nothing herein shall limit the Contractor's responsibilities under Article IX
or XV of these General Conditions of the Contract.
24. LEED Re~uirements
Contractor unerstands that, pursuant to Executive Order No. 484, all new
construction and renovation projects over 20,000 square feet must, at a minimum,
meet a Massachusetts LEED Plus building standard, and that smaller projects must
meet the minimum energy performance standards for advanced buildings established
by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Sustainable Design Roundtable.
Furthermore, Contractor understands that the Massachusetts LEED Plus standard or a
higher LEED standard applies to all projects overseen by the Massachusetts Division
of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance, as well as all projects built on state
land for use by state agencies. Contractor must document compliance with this
executive order and Project LEED certification standards as described in the project
specifications.
ARTICLE V: MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT
1. Materials Generally.
A. Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Contract Documents, the Contractor
shall _provide and pay for materials, equipment, tools, construction equipment and
machmery, water, heat, utilities, transportation, and other facilities and services
necessary for proper execution and completion of the Work, whether temporary or
permanent and whether or not incorporated or to be incorporated in the Work.
B. Materials and equipment to be installed as part of the Work (both or either of
which are hereinafter referred to as "materials") shall be new, unused, of recent
manufacture, assembled, and used in accordance with the best construction practices.
The Contractor shall inform himself as to, and shall comply with, the provisions of
M.G.L. c. 7, s. 23A, as amended, and shall abide by the same and all applicable rules,
regulations and orders made thereunder in relation to the purchase of supplies and
materials in the execution of the Work, including the provisions of M.G.L. c.7, s. 22,
paragraph 1 7 which provides that there be "a preference in the purchase of supplies
and materials, other considerations being equal, in favor, first, of supplies and
materials manufactured and sold within the Commonweafth, and, second, of supplies
and materials manufactured and sold elsewhere within the United States."
2. Shop Drawings, Product Data, and Samples.
A. The Contractor shall furnish to the Designer all samples of the materials to be
used in the execution of the Work as required by the Contract Documents. The
Contractor shall furnish to the Designer in a timely manner all coordination Drawings,
shop details, Shop Drawings, and setting diagrams which may be necessary for
acquiring and installing materials. These shall be reviewed as required by the
Designer. A minimum of four ( 4) copies shall be submitted for final approval, one of
which shall be returned to the Contractor, one to the Resident Engineer, one to the
Awarding Authority and one filed with the Designer. The inspection and approval by
the Designer of Shop Drawings, etc. shall be general and shall in no way relieve the
Contractor from responsibility for proper fitting, coordinating, construction, and
construction sequencing. The Contractor shall furnish to the Designer such
information and vouchers relative to the Work, the materials therefor, and the persons
employed thereon, as the Designer shall from time to time request.
B. Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples, and similar submittals are not Contract
Documents. The purpose of their submission is to demonstrate for those portions of the
Work for which submittals are required the way the Contractor proposes to conform to
the information given and the design concept expressed in the Contract Documents.
C. The Contractor shall review, approve, and submit to the Designer, Shop
Drawings, Product Data, Samples and similar submittals required by the Contract
Documents with reasonable promptness and in such sequence as to cause no delay in
the Work or in the activities of the Awarding Authority or of separate contractors.
Submittals made by the Contractor which are not required by the Contract Documents
DCAMM General Conditions of the Contract c. 149 Rev.10-17 Page 17 of60
or which do not comply with the Contract Documents may be returned without action.
The Contractor's attention is directed to the provisions of Section 4 of this Article V
and to the Specifications.
D. The Contractor shall prepare and keep current for the Designer's approval a
schedule of submittals which is coordinated with the Progress Schedule and allows the
Designer reasonable time to review submittals.
E. The Contractor shall perform no portion of the Work requiring submittal and
review of Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples or similar submittals until the
respective submittal has been approved by the Designer. Such Work shall be in
accordance with Approved submittals.
F. By submitting Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples and similar submittals, the
Contractor represents that the Contractor has determined and verified materials, field
measurements, and field construction criteria related thereto and has checked and
coordinated the information contained within such submittals with the requirements of
the Work and of the Contract Documents.
G. The Contractor shall not be relieved ofresponsibility for deviations from requirements
of the Contract Documents by the Designer's approval of Shop Drawings, Product Data,
Samples or similar submittals unless the Contractor has specifically informed the Designer
in writing of such deviation at the time of submittal and the Awarding Authority has given
explicit written approval to the specific deviation. The Contractor shall not be relieved of
responsibility for errors or omissions in Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples, or similar
su6mittals by the Designer's or the Awarding Authority's actions.
H. The Contractor shall direct specific attention, in writing or on resubmitted Shop
Drawings, Product Data, Samples or similar submittals, to revisions other than those
requested by the Designer on previous submittals.
I. Informational submittals upon which the Designer is not expected to take
responsive action may be so identified in the Contract Documents.
J. When professional certification of performance criteria of materials, systems or
equipment ts required by the Contract Documents, such certification must be stamped by
a registered Massachusetts professional in the discipline required. The Designer shall be
entitled to rely upon the accuracy and completeness of such calculations and
certifications.
K. Materials furnished or used or employed under the Contract must be equal in
quality to the samples furnished and be satisfactory to the Designer.
3. Tests.
A. Any material to be used in the Work may be tested or inspected at any time by
the Designer with the prior Approval of the Awarding Authority and may be rejected
if it fails to comply with specified tests. The Awarding Authority shall pay for all
testing of specified material. If the Contractor requests permission to use a material
that was not specified, then the Contractor shall pay for such testing. The cost of
testing of materials that fail the testing criteria shall be borne by the Contractor
B. The Contractor shall notify the Designer and the Awarding Authority of the
proposed sources of materials in time to permit all required testing and inspection
before the material is needed for incorporation into the Work. The Contractor shall
have no claim arising from Contractor's failure to designate the proposed source or to
order the material in time for adequate testing and inspection. Necessary arrangements
shall be made to permit the Designer to make factory, shop or other inspection of
materials or equipment ordered for the Work in process of manufacture or fabrication,
or in storage elsewhere than the Site.
4. "Or Eaual" Submissions.
A. Where products or materials are prescribed by manufacturer name, trade name,
or catalog reference, the words "or Approved equal" shall be understood to follow. An
item shall be considered equal to the item so named or described if in the opinion of
the Awarding Authority (a) it is at least equal in quality, durability, appearance,
strength and design, (b) it performs at least equally the function imposed in the general
design for the Work, and (c) it conforms substantially, even with deviations, to the
detailed requirements for the items as indicated by the Specifications. Any structural
or mechanical changes made necessary to accommodate products or materials
substituted as an "or equal" shall be at the expense of the Contractor. "Approved
equal" shall mean an item with respect to which the Awarding Authority shall have
DCAMM General Conditions of the Contra.ct c. 149 Rev.10-17 Page 18of60
issued a written statement to the Contractor to the effect that the item is, in the
Awarding Authority's opinion, equal within the meaning of this paragraph to that
prescribed in the Contract Documents.
B. The Contractor shall be responsible for providing the Designer with any
information and test results that the Designer reasonably requires to determine whether
or not a material is equal to a material named or described in the Contract Documents.
C. Whenever the Contractor submits a material for approval as a substitute for a
material named or described in the Contract Documents, such submission shall be made
at least one hundred twenty ( 120) days prior to the date the materials will be used in the
Work. In no event shall the Contractor maintain a claim for delays based upon the
Designer's review of such substituted materials if the Contractor has failed to comply
with the one hundred twenty (120) day submission requirement.
D. The Contractor shall save the written calculations, pricing information, and
other data that the Contractor used to calculate the General Bid (the "Bid Pricing
Materials") for at least six years after the Awarding Authority makes Final Payment
under this Contract. No increase in the Contract Price shall be allowed for any
material later found to have been improperly rejected as not being equal unless the
Contractor can show persuasive evidence that the rejection increased the Contractor's
costs over those provided for in the Bid Pricing Materials, net of all savings the
Contractor obtained by substituting other "or-equal" items. Without limiting the
foregoing, if the A warding Authority rejects a proposed substitution on the basis that
the item is not equal and if after the Contractor complies with the appeal procedures
required by law, DCAMM regulation, and by the Contract Documents, the appropriate
authority finds that the proposed substitution was equal, the Contract Price may be
increased only to the extent that (1) the item that the Contract Documents specifically
require costs more than the item later approved as equal, (2) the Bid Pricing Materials
prove that the Contractor calculated its bid using the cost of the item later found as
equal, (3) any increase is reduced by any cost that the Contractor would have incurred
for structural or mechanical changes necessary to accommodate the substitute item,
(4) the Contractor shall not be entitled to any adjustment for overhead and profit, (5)
any increase must exceed the aggregate amount that the Contractor saved using
products or materials that the Awarding Authority approved as equal under this
Contract. In calculating the Contractor's aggregate saving under the preceding clause
(5), the Contractor shall provide the Awarding Authority with the Bid Pricing
Materials and a calculation based on the Bid Pricing Materials that compare the price
(stated in the Bid Pricing Materials) of each item replaced with an "or equal" item,
with the cost of the approved equal item, specifically describes all costs that
Contractor would have incurred making structural or mechanical changes to include
within the Work the item later found to have been improperly rejected and copies of
all plans, specifications, shop Drawings, and other design documents that the
A warding Authority deems necessary or desirable.
5. Delivery and Storage of Materials; Inspection.
A. Materials and equipment shall be progressively delivered to the Site so that there
will be neither delay in the progress of the Work nor an undue accumulation of
materials that are not to be used within a reasonable time and so that their security,
quality, and fitness of the materials for the Work is preserved.
B. Materials stored off Site shall be insured and stored at the expense of the
Contractor so as to guarantee the preservation of their security, quality and fitness for
the Work. Without derogating from the Contractor's responsibilities in the previous
sentence, when necessary to avoid deterioration or damage, material ( on or off Site)
shall be placed on wooden platforms or other hard clean surfaces and not on the
ground and shall be properly protected.
C. Expenses for inspection of material by the Designer and/or the Awarding
Authority personnel including travel, quarters, and subsistence shall be borne by the
Contractor requesting the inspection of material stored outside the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts as part of the Contract Price. The policy of the A warding Authority
precludes the payment for material stored outside the boundaries of Massachusetts
except in extremely limited circumstances with the express written consent of the
Awarding Authority. If the Contractor requests an inspection of material stored
outside the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Awarding Authority will initially
pay for all expenses of inspecting the material incurred by the Designer and/or
DCAMM General Conditions of the Contract c. 149 Rev.10-17 Page 19 of60
Awarding Authority's personnel including travel, quarters, and subsistence. The
Awarding Authority will then give Contractor an invoice for those costs and the
Contractor shall submit a credit Change Order for the amount of those expenses.
D. Stored materials either at the Site or at some other location agreed upon in
writing shall be so located as to facilitate prompt inspection and even though approved
before storage, may again be inspected pnor to their use in the Work.
E. All storage sites shall be restored to their original condition by the Contractor at
the Contractor's expense.
F. The Contractor shall take charge of and be liable for any loss of or injury to the
materials for hi~ use delivered to or in the vicinity of the place where the Work is
being done, whether furnished by the Owner or otherwise; the Contractor shall notify
the Designer as soon as any such materials are so delivered, allow them to be
examined by the Designer, and furnish workers to assist therewith.
6. Defective, Damai.;ed, or Deteriorated Materials and Re~ection Thereof.
The Designer may reJect materials if the Designer reasonablyetermines that such
materials do not conform to the Contract Documents in any manner, including but not
limited to materials that have become damaged or deteriorated from improper storage
whether or not such materials have previously been accepted. The Contractor at its own
expense shall remove rejected materials from the Work. No rejected material, the
defects of which have been subsequently corrected, shall be used except with the
written permission of the Designer. Should the Contractor fail to remove rejected
material within a reasonable time, the Designer and/or Awarding Authority may, in
addition to any other available remedies, remove and/or replace the rejected material,
and to deduct the cost of such removal and/or replacement from any moneys due or to
become due the Contractor. No extra time shall be allowed for completion of Work by
reason of such rejection. The inspection of the Work shall not relieve the Contractor of
any of its obligations herein prescribed, and any defective Work shall be corrected.
Work not conforming to the Contract Documents may be rejected notwithstanding that
such Work and materials have been previously overlooked or misjudged by the
Designer and accepted for payment. If the Work or any part thereof shall be found
defective at any time before Final Acceptance of the whole Work, the Contractor shall
forthwith make good such defect in a manner satisfactory to the Designer. Nothing in
the Contract shall be construed as vesting in the Contractor any property rights in the
materials used after they have been attached or affixed to the Work or the Site; but all
such materials shall upon being so attached or affixed become a property of the
Owner.
ARTICLE VI: PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS
1. Be innin Pro ress Schedule and Com letion of Work.
A. T e Contract time shall commence upon t e date speci 1ed in the Notice to
Proceed. The Contractor shall begin Work at the Site within ten days of said date
unless otherwise ordered in writing by the Awarding Authority.
B. Within ten days after the Work has commenced, the Contractor shall submit to
the Designer and to the Awarding Authority, a progress s_chedule for the term of the
Contract as required by the Contract Documents, showing in detail his proposed
progress for the construction of the various parts of the Work and the proposed times
for receiving required materials. Upon Approval by the Awarding Authority, said
schedule shall constitute the Progress Schedule. The Contractor shall at the end of
each month, or more often if required, furnish to the Designer and to the A warding
Authority a schedule meeting the requirements of the Specifications showing the
actual progress of the parts of the Work in comparison with the Progress Schedule.
C. Time is of the essence of this Contract. The Work shall be completed within the
time specified in Article 2 of the Owner -Contractor Agreement. Should the
Contractor require additional time to complete the Work, the Contractor shall
document the reasons therefor and submit a written request for an extension of time
within 20 days of the occurrence of the event alleged to be the cause of the delay, as
provided in this Article and in Article VII of these General Conditions of the Contract.
Failure to submit said written request within the time required by the preceding
DCAMM General Conditions of the Contract c. 149 Rev.10-17 Page 20 of60
sentence shall preclude the Contractor from subsequently claiming any time extension
due to said delay.
D. If, in the opinion of the Designer or the Awarding Authority, the Contractor fails
to comply with the Progress Schedule, the Awarding Authority may give the
Contractor a notice specifying the time limits and performance standards that the
Contractor is failing to meet whereupon (1) the Contractor shall, if the notice requires,
discontinue all or any portion of the Work (which discontinuance shall neither
terminate the Contract nor give the Contractor any claim for an increase in the
Contract Price, damages, or an extension of any completion deadlines); or (2) at
Contractor's sole cost increase the work force, equipment and plant, or any of them,
employed on the whole or any part of the Work, to the extent required by such notice,
and employ the same from day to day until the completion of the Work or such part
thereof, or until the failure regarding the rate of progress, in the opinion of the
Designer or the Awarding Authority, shall have been sufficiently corrected.
E. If, in the opinion of the Awarding Authority, the Contractor fails to comply with
the Progress Schedule, and whether or not the Awarding Authority shall have given
the Contractor a notice described in D above, the Awarding Authority may (but shall
not be required to) give the Contractor notice of such failure and five days to cure the
same. Unless the Contractor shall within that five days take all necessary steps to do
so (including, if the Awarding Authority requires, increasing its forces, equipment and
plant) and continue to do so until in the opinion of the Awarding Authority the failure
1s corrected, the Awarding Authority may at the Contractor's expense and without
terminating this Contract take exclusive or joint possession of all or a portion of the
Site and employ and direct the labors of existing or such additional forces, equipment
and plant as may in the Designer's or Awarding Authority's opinion be necessary to
insure the completion of the Work or such part thereof within the time specified in the
Contract Documents or at the earliest possible date thereafter. The Awarding
Authority may exercise its rights under this Article at any time and from time to time
without waiving any of its rights under this Contract, at law or in equity, including,
without limitation, the right to deem this Contract terminated or to order the
Contractor to discontinue the Work at any time thereafter. The Contractor shall
continue to perform the remaining Work under this Contract even if the A warding
Authority elects to have another contractor perform a portion of the Work under this
Article.
F. The Awarding Authority shall deduct the cost of any actions the Awarding
Authority takes under this Article from any amount then due or which might have
become due to the Contractor under this Contract had the Contractor performed as
required. On demand, the Contractor shall pay the Awarding Authority any amount by
which the cost of completing all or any portion of the Work exceeds the amount
attributable to that Work under the Contract Documents. The Awarding Authority's
sole goal will be to complete the Work that it elects to complete within the time limits
stated in the Contract or at the earliest possible date thereafter. Consequently, the
A warding Authority shall have no obligation to obtain competitive bids or the lowest
cost for completing the Work or any part thereof. The Awarding Authority's election
to complete all or part of the Work shall not release the Contractor from any liability
for failure to complete the Work as the Contract Documents require, and shall not
entitle the Contractor to a claim for an increase in the Contract Price or an extension
of the time for completing the Work. If the cost that the Awarding Authority incurs in
completing all or any portion of the Work is less than the amount that the Contract
Documents attribute to that Work, the Awarding Authority will pay or credit the
difference to the Contractor, less any other costs and expenses that the A warding
Authority incurs, including the cost of supervision, and the Designer's and attorneys'
fees and costs.
2. Failure to Complete Work on Time -Liquidated Damages.
A. If liquidated damages are specified in the Owner -Contractor Agreement, the
Awarding Authority has determined that its damages as a result of Contractor's failure
to complete the Work to the point at which it qualifies for the issuance of a Certificate
of Agency Use and Occupancy will be difficult or impracticable to ascertain.
Accordingly, if the Work is not completed to such pomt by the date specified in this
Contract, the Contractor shall pay to the Awarding Authority the sum designated as
liquidated damages in the Contract for each and every calendar day that the Contractor
DCAMM General Conditions of the Contract c. 149 Rev.10-17 Page21 of60
is in default in completing the Work to such point. Such moneys shall be paid as
liquidated damages, not as a penalty, to cover losses and expenses to the A warding
Authority and/or the User Agency resulting solely from the fact that the Work is not
completed on time.
B. Similarly, if the Contract states that by a specified date a designated portion of
the Work shall be prosecuted to the point at which it qualifies for the issuance of a
Certificate of Agency Use and Occupancy, and if such portion has not been prosecuted
to such point by said date, the Contractor shall pay to the A warding Authority the sum
designated in the Contract for each calendar day that the Contractor is in default in
completing such portion of the Work to such point. Such moneys shall also be paid as
liquidated damages not as a penalty, to cover losses and expenses to the Owner
resulting solely from the fact that the Work is not completed on time.
C. The Awarding Authority may recover such liquidated damages by deducting the
amount thereof from any moneys due or that might become due the Contractor, and if
such moneys shall be insufficient to cover the liquidated damages, then the Contractor
or the Surety shall pay to the Awarding Authority the amount due.
D. Permitting the Contractor to continue and finish the Work or any portion of it
after the time fixed in the Contract for its completion shall not be deemed as a waiver
of any of the Owner's rights hereunder, at law or in equity.
E. Liquidated damages or a portion thereof may be waived by the Awarding
Authority if the Contractor submits evidence satisfactory to the Awarding Authority
that the delay was caused solely by conditions beyond the control of the Contractor
and that the Awarding Authority has not suffered any damages as a result of said
delay.
F. Failure by the Awarding Authority to specify a sum as liquidated damages in the
Owner -Contractor Agreement, or the insertion of "N/ A" or "none" in the space
provided therein for liquidated damages, shall not be deemed a waiver of the
Awarding Authority's right to recover actual damages arising from the Contractor's
failure to complete the Work on time.
3. Delays; Statutory Provisions (M.G.L. c. 30, s. 390).
A. Notwithstanding any provision of this Contract to the contrary, except as
otherwise provided by law as set forth in paragraph 8 below, the Contractor shall not
be entitled to increase the Contract Price or to receive damages on account of any
hindrances or delays, avoidable or unavoidable; but if any delay is caused in the
opinion of the Designer by the A warding Authority, the Contractor shall be entitled to
an extension of time. The length of the extension shall be sufficient in the opinion of
the Designer for the Contractor to complete the Work. Although no delay shall
increase the Contract Price, the Awarding Authority may reqmre that any change in
the date by which the Contractor must complete all or any part of the Work be
processed on a standard Change Order form.
B. If a suspension, delay, interruption or failure to act of the Awarding Authority
increases the cost of performance to any Subcontractor, that Subcontractor shall have
the same rights against the Contractor with respect to such increase as the Contractor
shall have against the Awarding Authority by virtue of (a) and (b) ofM.G.L. c. 30, s.
390 set forth below, but nothing in provisions (a) and (b) shall alter any other rights
which the Contractor or the subcontractor may have against each other. As used in the
statutory language of (a) and (b) below, "contract" means this Contract, "general
contractor" means the Contractor and "awarding authority" means the Awarding
Authority:
"(a) The awarding authority may order the general contractor in writing to
suspend, delay, or interrupt all or any part of the work for such period of time as it
may determine to be appropriate for the convenience of the awarding authority;
provided, however, that if there is a suspension, delay or interruption for fifteen days
or more or due to a failure of the awarding authority to act within the time specified
in this contract, the awarding authority shall make an adjustment in the contract price
for any increase in the cost of performance of this contract but shall not include any
pro.fit to the general contractor on such increase; and provided further, that the
awarding authority shall not make any adjustment in the contract price under this
provision for any suspension, delay, interruption or failure to act to the extent that
such is due to any cause for which this contract provides for an equitable adjustment
of the contract price under any other contract provisions.
DCAMM General Conditions of the Contract c. 149 Rev.10-17 Page 22 of60
(b) The general contractor must submit the amount of a claim under provision
(a) to the awarding authority in writing as soon as practicable after the end of the
suspension, delay, interruption or failure to act and, in any event, not later than the
date of final payment under this contract and except for costs due to a suspension
order, the awarding authority shall not approve any costs in the claim incurred more
than twenty days before the general contractor notified the awarding authority in
writing of the act or failure to act involved in the claim. 11
4. Use and Occupancy Prior to Final Acceptance.
A. The Contractor agrees to the use and occupancy of the Project or any portion
thereof before Final Acceptance of the Work by the Awarding Authority.
B. The A warding Authority and the User Agency will cooperate with the Contractor
with respect to the completion of the Work by taking such reasonable steps as may be
possible to avoid interference with the Contractor's Work provided that they do not
interfere with the proper functioning of the facility.
C. The Contractor shall not be responsible for wear and tear or damage resulting
solely from temporary occupancy.
D. Use and occupancy of any part of the Work prior to Final Acceptance by the
Awarding Authority shall not relieve the Contractor from maintaining the required
payment and performance bonds and insurance (to the extent that insurance is required
to be maintained after Substantial Completion) required by this Contract.
5. Certificate of Agency Use and Occupancy.
A. When the Work, or portion thereof which the Awarding Authority agrees to
accept separately has reached the state of Substantial Completion as shown on
Approved payment request, the Contractor shall develop, with the participation of the
Designer and the Awarding Authority, the Punch List identifying those items of
unfinished or unacceptable Work that remain to be performed or corrected under the
Contract.
B. Before the Work shall be deemed completed to the point where it is ready for the
issuance of a Certificate of Agency Use and Occupancy, the Contractor shall:
(I) Provide Contractor's proposed Punch List containing a statement of the
reason for each item listed thereon;
(2) Advise the Awarding Authority of proposed changes in insurance in
accordance with the provisions of this Contract, and provide to the Awarding
Authority evidence of Contractor's Completed Operations insurance coverage to
the extent required by the Contract Documents;

through (g) below and shall be computed in accordance with those provisions
and as detailed in the Awarding Authority's Instructions and Procedures
Regarding Change Orders, Contract Modifications and Equitable Adjustments
(Form 13);
(2) estimated lump sum basis to be adjusted in accordance with Contract unit
prices or other agreed upon unit prices provided that the unit prices shall be
inclusive of all costs related to such equitable adjustment;
(3) time and materials basis to be subsequently adjusted on the basis of actual
costs (but subject to a predetermined "not to exceed limit") calculated as
follows:
(a) the direct cost (or credit) for labor at the minimum wage rates
established for this Contract pursuant to M.G.L. c. 149, § 26-27H;
(b) plus ( or minus) the cost of Workmen's Compensation Insurance,
Liability Insurance, Federal Social Security and Massachusetts
Unemployment Compensation, which are to be calculated using an
allowance equal to 40% applied to said rate. The rate of ( 40) percent is
inclusive of all insurances, taxes, general conditions, overhead,
superintendence, fee, and profit. No other expenses are allowed, for
example, sick time, vacation time, etc. are included in the all-inclusive rate.
Documentation must be provided if a higher percentage is requested and

change that involves a credit of labor a value of 85% of the approved rate is
to be credited.
(c) plus (or minus) the actual direct additional premium costs and expenses
incurred as a result of collective bargaining agreements or other agreements
between organized labor. No allowance for markups is allowed on these
costs.
DCAMM General Conditions of the Contract c. 149 Rev.10-17 Page 26 of60

equalto 15% of the amount of materials and equipment for General
Conditions, overhead, superintendence, fee, and profit can be applied.
(e) certain miscellaneous services provided and approved by DCAMM (e.g.
police details, utilities, etc.) may be included and are subject to a 5%
markup.
(t) plus (or minus) the actual direct premium cost of payment and
performance bonds required of the Prime Contractor and certain
subcontractors for this Contract.
(g) the Prime Contractor shall receive an allowance equal to 5% of the sum
of items (a) through (e) above for overhead, superintendence, fee, and profit
when the work is performed by Subcontractors. Subcontractors can also
apply an allowance equal to 5% of the sum of items (a) through (e) above
for overhead, superintendence, fee, and profit when the work is performed
by Sub-tier Subcontractors.

updated minimum wage schedules in accordance with G.L. c. 149, § 27 and shall not
be entitled to claim additional compensation for base bid contract work due to updated
minimum wage schedules.

Contractor's overhead, superintendence, fee and profit. On any change that involves a
net credit, no allowance for overhead, superintendence and profits shall be included.
Charges for small tools known as "tools of the trade" are not to be computed in the
amount of any change in the Contract Price.
C. Adjustments in Subcontractors made under the provisions of the Procedure for
Award of Subcontracts shall not be considered Change Orders and shall not entitle the
Prime Contractor to any adjustments for overhead, profit, and superintendence,
although the Awarding Authority may require that such Contract adjustments be
processed on standard Change Order and equitable adjustment forms.
D. Refer to Appendix C (Commonly Used Forms) for Instructions Regarding
Change Orders and Contract Modifications (DCAMM Form 13) and Request for

Prime Contractor shall be deemed to have concurred with the Awarding Authority's
determination as aforesaid unless the Prime Contractor shall perform Work under
protest in compliance with the following sub-paragraphs (1) and (2) below. Any
disputed order, decision or action by the Awarding Authority or its authorized
representative shall be fully performed or complied with pending resolution of the

Designer shall be the designee. If there is neither a Resident Engineer nor a Designer
the designee shall be a person designated by the Awarding Authority at the project
field office or alternatively the home office of the Awarding Authority. The
Contractor shall include in such periodic estimate only such materials as are
incorporated in the Work, except as provided in paragraph C below. The Awarding
Authority shall retain five percent of such estimated value as part security for the

necessary party. A subcontractor shall enforce a claim for direct payment or a right
to require a deposit as provided in subparagraph (6) by a petition in equity in the
superior court against the awarding authority and the general contractor shall not be

interlocutory decree upon which execution shall issue for any part of a claim found
due/lursuant to sections fifty-nine and fifty-nine Band, upon motion of any party,
sha l advance for speedy trial the petition to collect the remainder of the claim. Any
party aggrieved by such interlocutory decree shall have the right to appeal therefrom
as from a final decree. The court shall not consolidate for trial the petition of any
subcontractor with the petition of one or more subcontractors or the same general
Contract unless the court finds that a substantial portion of the evidence oj the same

events during the course of construction (other than the fact that the claims sought to
be consolidated arise under the same general contract) is applicable to the petitions
sought to be consolidated and that such consolidation will prevent unnecessary
duplication of evidence. A decree in any such proceeding shall not include interest on
the disputed amount deposited in excess of the interest earned for the period of any
such deposit. No person except a subcontractor filing a demand for direct payment for
which no funds due the general contractor are available for direct payment shall have
a right to file a petition in court of equity against the awarding authority claiming a
demand for direct payment is premature and such subcontractor must file the petition

for direct payment the court shall, upon motion of the general contractor, reduce by
the amount of any deposit of a disputed amount by the awarding authority as provided
in part (iii) of subparagraph (5) and in subparagraph (6) any amount held under a
trustee writ or pursuant to a restraining order or injunction. "

believes the Contractor or any Subcontractor may not be operating in compliance with
the terms of this Article, the Commission shall directly, or through its designated
agent, conduct an appropriate investigation, and may confer with the parties, to
determine if such Contractor is operating in compliance with the terms of this Article.
If the Commission or its agent finds the Contractor or any Subcontractor not in
DCAMM General Conditions of the Contract c. 149 Rev.10-17 Page 54 of60
compliance, it may make a preliminary report on non-compliance, and notify such
Contractor in writing of such steps as will in the judgment of the Commission or its
agent bring such Contractor into compliance. In the event that such Contractor fails or
refuses to fully perform such steps, the Commission may make a final report of non-
compliance, and recommend to the Awarding Authority the imposition of one or more
of the sanctions listed below. lf, however, the Commission believes the Contractor or
any Subcontractor has taken or is taking every possible measure to achieve
compliance, it shall not make a final report of non-compliance. Within fourteen days
of the receipt of the recommendations of the Commission, the Awarding Authority
shall move to impose one or more of the following sanctions, as it may deem
appropriate to attain full and effective enforcement:
(1) The recovery by the Awarding Authority from the Contractor of 1/100 of 1 % of
the Contract award price or $1,000 whichever sum is greater, in the nature of
liquidated damages or, if a Subcontractor is in non-compliance, the recovery by the
Awarding Authority from the Contractor, to be asse.ssed by the Contractor as a back
charge against the subcontractor, of 1/10 of 1 % of the sub-Contract Price, or $400
whichever sum is greater, in the nature of liquidated damages, for each week that such
party fails or refuses to comply;
(2)The suspension of any payment or part thereof due under the Contract until such
time as the Contractor or any subcontractor is able to demonstrate his compliance with
the terms of the Contract;
(3) The termination or cancellation of the Contract, in whole, or in part, unless the
Contractor or any Subcontractor is able to demonstrate within a specified time his
compliance with the terms of the contract;
( 4 )The denial to the Contractor or any subcontractor of the right to participate in any
future contracts awarded by the Awarding Authority for a period of up to three years.
B. If at any time after the imposition of one or more of the above sanctions a
Contractor is able to demonstrate that it is in compliance with this Article, the
Contractor may request the Awarding Authority, in consultation with the Commission,
to suspend the sanctions conditionally, pending a final determination by the
Commission as to whether the Contractor is in compliance. Upon final determination
of the Commission, the Awarding Authority, based on the recommendation of the
Commission, shall either lift the sanctions or reimpose them.
C. Sanctions recommended by the Commission and enumerated under Section 4
above shall not be imposed by the Awarding Authority except after an adjudicatory
proceeding, as that term is used M.G.L. c. 30A, has been conducted. No investigation
by the Commission or its agent shall be initiated without prior notice to the
Contractor. D. Notwithstanding the provisions of 4A-4C above, if the Awarding
Authority determines after investigation that the Contractor or any Subcontractor is
not in compliance with the terms of this Article, it may suspend any payment or
portion thereof due under the Contract until the contractor demonstrates to the
satisfaction of the Awarding Authority compliance with the terms of this Article. This
temporary suspension of payments by the Awarding Authority is separate from the
sanctions set forth in Section 4A-4C of this Article above, which are determined by
MCAD and recommend to the Awarding Authority. Payment may be suspended only
after the Contractor and any other interested party shall have been given the
opportunity to present evidence in support of its position at an informal hearing held
by the Awarding Authority, and the Awarding Authority has concluded upon review
of all the evidence that such penalty is justified. Payment shall not be suspended if the
Awarding Authority finds that the Contractor made its best efforts to comply with this
Article, or that some other justifiable reason exists for waiving the provisions of this
Article in whole or in part.

result in the Contractor failing to meet the MBE/WBE participation goal(s) for this
Contract, other than a reduction in MBE/WBE Work resulting from a Change Order
initiated by the Awarding Authority, then the Contractor shall immediately undertake
a diligent, good faith effort to make up the shortfall in MBE/WBE participation as
follows:
(1) The Contractor shall identify all items of the Work remaining to be performed
under the Contract that may be made available for subcontracting to MBE/WBEs. The
Contractor shall send a list of such items of work to the Awarding Authority, together

MBE/WBEs and the reason for not making such work available for subcontracting to
MBE/WBEs.
(2) The Contractor shall send written notices soliciting proposals to perform the items
of the Work that may be made available for subcontracting to MBE/WBEs to all
MBE/WBEs qualified to perform such work. The Contractor shall advise the
Awarding Authority of (i) each MBE/WBE solicited, and (ii) each MBE/WBE listed
in the SDO directory under the applicable trade category who was not solicited and
the reasons therefor. The Contractor shall also advise the Awarding Authority of the
dates notices were mailed and provide a copy of the written notice(s) sent.
DCAMM General Conditions of the Contract c. 149 Rev.10-17 Page 57 of60
(3) The Contractor shall make reasonable efforts to follow up the written notices sent
to MBE/WBEs with telephone calls or personal visits in order to determine with
certainty whether the MBE/WBEs were interested in performing the work. Phone logs
or other documentation must be submitted to the Awarding Authority evidencing this
effort.
(4) The Contractor shall make reasonable efforts to assist MBE/WBEs that need
assistance in obtaining insurance, bonds, or lines of credit in order to perform work
under the Contract, and shall provide the Awarding Authority with evidence that such
efforts were made.
(5) The Contractor shall provide the Awarding Authority with a statement of the
response received from each MBE/WBE solicited, including the reason for rejecting
any MBE/WBE who submitted a proposal, if applicable.
(6) The Contractor shall take any additional measures reasonably requested by the
Awarding Authority to meet the MBE/WBE participation goal(s) established for this
Contract, including, without limitation, placing advertisements in appropriate media
and trade association publications announcing the Contractor's interest in obtaining
proposals from MBE/WBEs, and/or sending written notification to MBE/WBE
economic development assistance agencies, trade groups and other organizations
notifying them of the project and of the work available to be subcontracted by the
Contractor to MBE/WBEs.
B. If the Contractor is unable to meet the MBE/WBE participation goals for this
Contract after complying fully with each of the requirements of paragraph "A" above,
and the Contractor is otherwise in full comp! iance with the terms of this Article, the
A warding Authority may reduce the MBE/WBE participation goals for this Contract
to the extent that such goals cannot be achieved.
8. Suspension of Payment and/or Performance for Noncompliance.
A. If at any time during the performance of this Contract, the Awarding Authority
determines or has reason to believe that ( l) there has been a change or reduction in
any MBE/WBE Work which will result in the Contractor failing to meet the
MBE/WBE participation goal(s) for this Contract, other than a reduction in
MBE/WBE Work resulting from a change in the Contract work ordered by the
Awarding Authority, and (2) the Contractor has failed to comply fully with all of the
terms and conditions of paragraphs 1 through 7 above, the Awarding Authority may:
( l) suspend payment to the Contractor of an amount up to the full value of the work
which was to have been performed by an MBE/WBE pursuant to the Contractor's
Schedule for MBE/WBE Participation but which was not so performed, in order to
ensure that sufficient Contract funds will be available if liquidated damages are
assessed pursuant to paragraph 9, and/or
(2) suspend the Contractor's performance of this Contract in whole or in part.
B. The A warding Authority shall give the Contractor prompt written notice of any
action taken pursuant to paragraph A above and shall give the Contractor and any
other interested party, including any MBE/WBEs, an opportunity to present evidence
to the Awarding Authority that the Contractor is in compliance with the requirements
of this Article, or that there is some justifiable reason for waiving the requirements of
this Article in whole or in part. The Awarding Authority may invite SDO and the
Massachusetts Commission Againt Discrimination to participate in any proceedings
undertaken pursuant to this paragraph.
C. Upon a showing that the Contractor is in full compliance with the requirements of
this Article, or that the Contractor has met or will meet the MBE/WBE participation
goals for this Contract, the Awarding Authority shall release any funds withheld
pursuant to clause A(l) above, and lift any suspension of the Contractor's
performance under clause A(2) above.
9. Liquidated Damages; Termination.
A. If payment by the Awarding Authority or performance by the Contractor is
suspended by the A warding Authority as provided in paragraph 8 above, the
Awarding Authority shall have the following rights and remedies if the Contractor
thereafter fails to take all action necessary to bring the Contractor into full compliance
with the requirements of this Article, or if full compliance is no longer possible
because the default of the Contractor is no longer susceptible to cure, if the Contractor
DCAMM General Conditions of the Contract c. 149 Rev. I 0-17 Page 58 of60
fails to take such other action as may be required by the Awarding Authority to meet
the MBE/WBE participation goals set forth in this Contract:
(1) the Awarding Authority may terminate this Contract, and/or
(2) the Awarding Authority may retain from final payment to the Contractor, as
liquidated damages, an amount equal to the difference between (x) the total of the
MBE/WBE participation goals set forth in this Contract, and (y) the amount of
MBE/WBE participation credit given to the Contractor for MBE/WBE Work
performed under this Contract as determined by the Awarding Authority, the parties
agreeing that the damages for failure to meet the M/BE/WBE participation goals are
difficult to determine and that the foregoing amount to be retained by the Awarding
Authority represents the parties' best estimate of such damages. Any liquidated
damages will be assessed separately for MBE and WBE participation.
B. Before exercising its rights and remedies hereunder, the Awarding Authority
may, but the Awarding Authority shall not be obligated to, give the Contractor and
any other interested party another opportunity to present evidence to the Awarding
Authority that the Contractor is in compliance with the requirements of this Article or
that there is some justifiable reason for waiving the requirements of this Article in
whole or in part. The Awarding Authority may invite SDO and the Massachusetts
Commission Against Discrimination to participate in any proceedings undertaken
hereunder.
10. Reporting Requirements.
The Contractor shall submit to the Awarding Authority all information or
documentation that is necessary in the judgment of the Awarding Authority to
ascertain whether or not the Contractor has complied with any of the provisions of this
Article.
11. Awarding Authority's Right to Waive Provisions of this Article in Whole or
In Part.
The Awarding Authority reserves the right to waive any provision or requirement of
this Article if the Awarding Authority determines that such waiver is justified and in
the public interest. No such waiver shall be effective unless in writing and signed by a
representative of the Awarding Authority's Compliance Office or the Office of its
General Counsel. No other action or inaction by the Awarding Authority shall be
construed as a waiver of any provision of this Article.

THE COMMONWEAL TH OF MASSACHUSETTS
EXECUTIVE OFFICE FOR ADMINISTRATION AND FINANCE
DIVISION OF CAPITAL ASSET MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE
ONE ASHBURTON PLACE, BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS
PROCEDURE FOR PAYMENT
TO CONTRACTORS
I. APPLICATION AND DISTRIBUTION
This bulletin is effective on all construction projects subject to the control and jurisdiction of the
Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance hereinafter referred to as the "Division", as
provided by Chapter 7, G.L. Section 39A through 43G as amended.
This form is available to all General Contractors: Sub-contractors, Designers, Resident Engineers,
and on request to any party of interest.
This form constitutes a method of contractual procedure noted in the General Conditions of the
Contract and is not a rule or regulation as defined by the STATE ADM[NISTRATIVE
PROCEDURE ACT, M.G.L. c. 30A, s. 5.
No deviation from the procedures set forth in this form may be made without the express
authorization of the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance ("DCAMM").
II. STATUTORY REFERENCES, DEFINITIONS, ETC. M.G.L. c. 30, s. 39K (Non-Building
Contracts); DCAMM Standard Vertical Construction Contract as amended. All General Contractors,
Sub-Contractors, Designers, and Resident Engineers should thoroughly familiarize themselves with
said contract.
III. PREPARATION AND PROCESSING OR PERIODIC PAYMENT
Periodic payment requests shall be submitted monthly on the day of each month corresponding to the
date of the contract. Submission in this manner staggers the receipt of invoices in the DCAMM office
and expedites processing of contractors' payments. Contractors who do not choose to invoice
monthly must nonetheless pay their Subcontractors pursuant to M.G.L. c.30, s. 39F.
Requisitions which are for billing period beyond the original contract completion date or
completion date as formally extended shall be (1) returned to the Contractor as a premature
billing pending approval of an extension of time or (2) liquidated damages shall be
assessed.
The General Contractor and his sub-contractors, the Designer and the Resident Engineer(s) shall
consult prior to the date of submission for each periodic payment request as to the percentage value
of work completed.
All questions as to the value of the work performed and as to payment for materials not incorporated
into the work should be resolved in advance of the submission of the formal request for periodic
payment. It is suggested that a job conference is the most effective way of resolving any questions of
matters of dispute. The General Contractor shall submit to the Division for the Division's approval,
well in advance of the submission of the first periodic estimate, a breakdown of the various items of
work corresponding to the sections of the specifications making up the lump sum for item 1, Work of
the General Contractor; and each section under Item 2, Sub-bids, of the contract. In addition, the
DCAMM Procedure for Payment to Contractors 10/2017 Page I of 4
General Contractor and each sub-contractor shall furnish the Resident Engineer with two (2) copies
of any necessary sub-breakdowns of each section and such other detailed information as required by
the Resident Engineer to evaluate properly the percentage of the work performed. The Resident
Engineer shall submit one copy to the Division, as approved by the Resident Engineer upon request.
The General Contractor shall prepare its formal request for periodic payment on DCAMM Form Sib
(See attached Requisition for Payment-Form S 1 b Instructions) itemized as approved by the Division.
Regular contract retainage is 5% of the amount appearing in col. 8. 5% must be retained
until a certificate of substantial completion, use or occupancy or a certificate of final
acceptance is executed. When the Contractor or DCAMM desires to retain an amount in
excess of 5% an explanation must be attached.
On unit price items enter the number of units in columns 4 and 7 instead of percentages.
If the periodic request for payment includes a request for payment for materials not incorporated in
the work but delivered and suitably stored at the site (or at some location agreed to in writing), Form
Sib must be accompanied by two (2) copies of Form DCAMM 16 (Transfer of Title) and evidence
satisfactory to the Division of title vested in the Contractor. Form 16 must be executed by the
General Contractor.
The General Contractor shall prepare sufficient copies of Sib the request for periodic payment for the
following distribution:
Copy 1 -DCAMM
Copy 2 -DCAMM (for Resident Engineer, see 6-01)
Copy 3, 4 -Required on federally aided projects only.
In addition, the Contractor shall prepare one set of the Payment Voucher Form CD-12 (Standard
Invoice) for the amount of the periodic request signed by a properly authorized signatory as vendor;
and forward along with, but not attached to, the properly certified Form Sib to the Division of Capital
Asset Management & Maintenance via the Resident Engineer and the Designer.
IV. CERTIFICATION
The General Contractor shall sign all copies of the invoice and present same to the Resident Engineer
certifying the value of work performed. In the event of any dispute as to the formal request for
periodic payment, the Resident Engineer and/or the Designer shall in the absence of their certification
on the Sib Form attach to each copy a qualified certification and a recommendation as the the dollar
value of the item or items in dispute to be-retained by DCAMM in accordance with Chapter 30,
Section 39K. In the signatory space write "See attached Letter". Neither the Resident Engineer nor
the Designer shall alter the Sib submitted with the formal request for payment in any manner. If the
Division concurs with the Engineer and/or Designers recommendation, adjustment shall be made on
Form Sib by the Division. Attention of the General Contractor is directed to the statement to the
effect that payments to all sub-contractors have been made in accordance with the provisions of
Mass. G.L. c. 30, s. 39F which statement must be signed under penalty or perjury on each copy by the
General Contractor. Column 6 of Form Sib applicable to filed sub-contractors only.

V. PROCESSING FOR PERIODIC PAYMENTS
It shall be the sole responsibility of the General Contractor to choose the delivery of the request for
periodic payment in proper form and arithmetically correct to the Resident Engineer (the designee
provided in G.L. C30, Sec. 39K). In the event there is no Resident Engineer assigned to the contract,
the Designer shall be the designee. If there be neither a Resident Engineer nor a Designer, the

One Ashburton Place, 15th Floor, Boston, Mass. 02108. Payment shall be due and payable within

VI. INQUIRY AS TO PERIODIC REQUESTS FOR PAYMENT-PAYMENT FLOW
All inquiries as to the value of the work performed, certified and due to the General Contractor, its
Sub-Contractors and suppliers shall be directed to the Resident Engineer. Interested parties are
requested not to contact DCAMM directly on these questions in order that the full attention of
DCAMM may be devoted to speedy processing of the requests. Resident Engineers should contact
the Project Controls Team of DCAMM only as absolutely necessary and relay the information to

REQUISITION FOR PAYMENT -Form Sl b
INSTRUCTIONS
The DCAMM form S 1 b is issued as an Excel spreadsheet workbook to be
maintained by the Contractor. A basic toward intermediate knowledge of Excel is
suggested to properly maintain this form. DCAMM will assist the Contractor to
initially set up and resolve any inadvertent errors when creating this Excel
workbook.
The S 1 b workbook provides worksheets for:
• Project Summary Information
• Break down of individual Bid Packages and line items w/ detail summaries
• Adjustments by DCAMM Project Manager or DCAMM OFA/OGC.
• Payment Voucher creation
• Instructional Guides
The Contractor is solely responsible to deliver this requisition for payment,
properly certified and arithmetically correct in the manner set forth in the General
Conditions of the Contract. The spreadsheet provides data entry columns for
percentage claims, lump sum claims, and retention adjustments. All calculations
on the sheet are rounded to exactly two decimal places (1 cent) accuracy, which
must be maintained.
The Contractor shall submit at the same time as the copies of the invoice and
Requisition, an electronic operable Excel spreadsheet of the matching information.
Should the DCAMM PM or DCAMM OF A/OGC amend the S 1 b invoice for any
reason, DCAMM will adjust the Excel spreadsheet accordingly and return it to the
Contractor for subsequent Requisitions. It is the responsibility of the Contractor
to move this month's 'Current Requisition' values into the 'Previous Requisition'
columns for each successive Requisition.
Column 1. Classifications at the subtotal level are fixed in this Worksheet for Cost
Codes 0100, 0102, and on CM@Risk 0106. For Change Orders (Cost
Code O I 02) and Contingency Items (Cost Code O 106) enter the
approved DCAMM Log Number in format NNN-NNN against each
Change Order or Contingency Line Item.
Column 2. At the summary line for each Classification in Cost Codes O 100, 0102,
and O I 06, the description is fixed. For listed Subcontractors (Cost Code
0 I 00), the Description and Contract Amount will need to be entered as
shown in the examples. Detailed, billable line items are listed below
the summary line and will need descriptions entered for approval by the
DCAMM Project Manager.
Column 3. At the summary line each subtotal will sum based on the values entered
for each detailed line item. At each detailed line enter the

INSTRUCTIONS AND PROCEDURES REGARDING CHANGE ORDERS, CONTRACT
MODIFICATIONS AND EQUITABLE ADJUSTMENTS
SECTION 1. STATUTORY AND CONTRACTUAL PROVISIONS
1.01 These procedures and instructions (hereinafter "Procedures") supplement Article VII ofDCAMM's General
Conditions of the Contract. These Procedures and Article VII are to be considered together and are intended to be mutually
complementary, so that all terms are to be considered as part of this Contract. All provisions are intended to be consistent
with the Massachusetts Laws governing Change Orders and Equitable Adjustments. Those laws include, but are not limited
to: M.G.L. Chapter 7C, Sections 17-21; M.G.L. Chapter 30, Sections 39I, 391, 39N, 390, 39P, and 39Q. All parties must
keep the ms elves informed of these laws and any amendments affecting said statutes.
NO CHANGES (ADDITIONS, SUBSTITUTIONS OR ELIMINATIONS) IN THE PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS OR
CONTRACT SHALL BE COMMENCED UNTIL RECEIPT BY THE CONTRACTOR OF: (a) AN APPROVED
DCAMM FORM 5 (Gold Sheet Change Order) OR (b) a WRITTEN DIRECTIVE from the DCAMM PROJECT
MANAGER AUTHORIZING or DIRECTING such CHANGE. A Directive issued by the Deputy Commissioner, Director,
or Deputy Director shall carry the same force as though issued by the Project Manager.
1.02 The purpose of these instructions and procedures is to provide additional detail for calculating equitable
adjustments and outlining the change order submission process. The Contractor must provide satisfactory documentation
supporting the nature and cost of each change, for an informed decision to be made on whether or not the change order is
necessary,justified and priced properly. All parties shall utilize the POTENTIAL CHANGE ORDER PROCESS explained
in section 3 below, as well as maintain a POTENTIAL CHANGE ORDER LOG.
1.03 All requests for changes modifying the contract price must be submitted on DCAMM Form 5, prior to the final
acceptance of the project. The Contractor waives all rights against the Commonwealth if it fails to comply with this
requirement. DCAMM shall be under no obligation to process a request for change after final acceptance of the project.
1.04 The term "request for change" is used throughout these procedures and applies to every request to revise the contract
requirements. The request for change must be made in writing, and in accordance with the provisions of the Contract, the
General laws, rules, regulations and other procedures of DCAMM.
1.05 If the request for a change is deemed a Life Safety Issue by DCAMM, or if waiting for a formal change order
approval will cause damage or increase the cost of the Work, the DCAMM Project Manager may deem the change "Urgent"
and issue an email to the Contractor, Deputy Director, Designer, Resident Engineer and any other parties that are involved in
the potential change. The email will outline the scope of work, a Not to Exceed dollar value, and a deadline for the paperwork
to be submitted to substantiate the cost and completion of the work. The Contractor will add this "Urgent" Potential Change
Order to the Log with a status of URGENT and proceed with the work in accordance with the email. If the costs to complete
the "Urgent" work are expected to exceed the stated Not to Exceed value, then the Contractor shall advise the DCAMM
Project Manager of the anticipated extra costs as soon as known, and shall await further written direction from DCAMM
before proceeding with work above the Not to Exceed value.
1.06 Prior to any change order work being performed, the DCAMM Project Manager must have all quotes, estimates and
potential costs identified to determine if the change order work should be performed as a lump sum cost to the project, or if
the nature of the change is difficult to quantify, then it may be determined to perform the work on a Time and Material basis.
Form 13 -Instructions Regarding Change Orders and Contract Modifications (rev. 10/2017) Page 1 of 4
SECTION 2. DIRECTIONS FOR COMPUTING COSTS FOR CHANGES IN THE WORK
2.01 Construction Managers, General Contractors, Subcontractors, Sub-tier Subcontractors and service providers must
submit for approval the DCAMM Wage Rate Form (Form 14) at the time their contract is awarded and prior to any change
order work being started. DCAMM has changed the calculation for establishing LABOR BILLING RATES. Billing rates
are calculated by taking the job specific published Prevailing Wage Rate for each trade classification and multiplying it by
1.40. Union Contractors may submit their collective bargaining agreement ifthere are excess fringe expenses over the
published prevailing wage rate. These excess fringes will be applied with no mark-ups. The attached forms (as noted in
Article VII) will automatically calculate rates as described. That rate calculation establishes the LABOR BILLING RATE
for the project by trade and classification. If a contractor or subcontractor submits documentation from their insurance
company that identifies their Workmen's Compensation rate is greater than 12.5% then the multiplier of 1.40 will be adjusted
to include the percentage over 12.5%. For example, an Iron Worker's Workmen's compensation percentage is 14.5%; the
calculation for that Trade's LABOR BILLING RA TE would become 1.42 rather than 1.40. In the case of Premium Time,
Time and Half, or Double Time DCAMM will accept a multiplier of 1.40 on the premium portion of wages over the
approved prevailing wage rate only. These LABOR BILLING RATES are inclusive ofoverhead, profit, and all other
expenses incurred. No additional markups on labor are allowed. If a credit is due to the project a percentage of 85% of the
approved labor billing rate is to be credited to the project. The LABOR BILLING RATES will be established for each trade
and classification at the beginning of the project. If there are any disputes regarding the LABOR BILLING RATES they
must be resolved prior to change order work being started.
2.02 Equipment Schedules and associated rates must be submitted at the beginning of the project for any contractor that
anticipates renting or using equipment as part of their scope of work for approval of desired rates to be used on change
orders. If the contractor cannot provide an equipment schedule, including established rates, DCAMM has elected to use R.S.
Means to determine fair market value rates. When computing the cost of equipment the rate resulting in the lowest value
(daily, weekly, monthly) is to be used. The Contractor can add 15% for overhead and profit mark up to the equipment rental
cost as part of the final change order pricing. The allowance for overhead and profit shall be considered to include all
additional expenses associated with hand and power tools normally required in the performance of the base bid work, "tools
of the trade".
2.03 Back up for material costs is required and shall be a formal quote from the supplier providing the materials or an
agreed upon industry standard determined at the beginning of the project, for example, NECA, MCCA, or Harrison. The
Contractor may add 15% overhead and profit mark up to the material cost as part of the final change order pricing.
2.04 Miscellaneous Items and Services such as Police or Fire details, utility charges, and attic stock charges must be
identified and estimated as part of the initial change request and back up for the cost is required. For any change that does
not include labor performed, Equipment used, or materials installed in the project that results in a net increase in the contract
price is considered a miscellaneous item or service. Shipping, handling and fuel surcharges must be estimated prior to orders
being placed. Expedited shipping costs must be approved before an order is placed, otherwise normal shipping cost will be
paid. The Contractor may add 5% for overhead and profit mark up to Miscellaneous Items and Services as part of the final
change order pricing.
2.05 For changes that involve work performed by Subcontractors the Prime Contractor may add 5% markup on all
subcontracted work. Subcontractors also shall be permitted to add 5% markup on all work subcontracted to Sub-tier
subcontractors. Any work self-performed by either the Prime Contractor or Subcontractor is not subject to the additional 5%
markup.
2.06 Travel expenses are only paid in accordance with Union Agreements or documented costs and no additional
overhead and profit will be allowed on these costs. Travel will only be paid when requested on changes that result in
additional time subject to the approval of the Project Manager on a case by case basis.
2.07 The General Contractor, Construction Manager, or Sub Contractor's (if applicable) bond premium shall be included
at the following rates. If a Contractor's bond rate differs from this list verification from the bond carrier must be submitted
showing the actual rates prior to any change order work starting on the Project.
Contract Price Rates per Thousand
(a) Contracts up to $500,000........................... $14.40
(b) $500,000 to $2,500,000........................... .. $ 8.70
(c) $2,500,000 to $5,000,000..... .... .... .......... .... $ 6.90
(d) $5,000,000 to $7,500,000..... .... .................. $ 6.30
(e) $7,500,000 and up.................................... $ 5.76
Form 13 -Instructions Regarding Change Orders and Contract Modifications (rev. 10/2017) Page 2 of 4
2.08 Changes which involve Time and Material slips must have DCAMM Daily Time and Material Reports attached,
verified, and signed by the Resident Engineer or authorized representative beginning on the day the work commences, and
continuing every day work occurs thereafter until the work is complete. Timesheets verifying labor hours and classification
and invoices verifying actual material cost from vendors are required when submitting the change to substantiate all costs
being billed. Costs without back up will be deducted and not reimbursed.
2.09 The Project Manager may approve lump sum change order requests on changes costing $2,000 or less, without
requiring the Contractor to provide a detailed breakdown for the costs incurred on the change order. A basic level breakdown
of Labor, material, and equipment on the contractors letterhead is still required.
SECTION 3. PROCESSING CHANGE REQUESTS AND EQUITABLE ADJUSTMENTS
3.01 Article VII of the Contract outlines the notification requirements for any potential change order. Time is of the
essence with every potential change order and all parties, Contractors, Subcontractors, User Agency Representatives,
Architect/Designer and DCAMM project team members are obligated by the Contract to expedite processing of these
potential changes in an efficient and timely manner. The Prime Contractor must maintain a Potential Change Order (PCO)
log for the entire project. A sample PCO log is included in the Contract Documents. The PCO log will be reviewed at each
weekly Owner Meeting and have status changes updated in writing on a weekly basis.
3 .02 If a request for a change has been identified, then the Prime Contractor must create a draft request for equitable
adjustment referred to as a Change Order Request (COR) from their own project management system for review by the
Architect/Designer and the DCAMM project team. The draft COR shall include requests for equitable adjustment from
affected subcontractors, if any. The Prime Contractor's COR form must be approved in writing by the DCAMM project team
prior to the first COR submission, otherwise the DCAMM Form 15 shall be used.
Each COR shall be for a specific scope of work and it shall be identified as an extra service with an explanation ofreasons
the change is not included in the base scope of work, such as; change in plans and specifications or other scope as outlined in
Article VII. The Prime contractor shall also review each COR in accordance with Article VII of the Contract General
Conditions. ACOR may include multiple subcontractors for one scope of work, however all of their back up, including
quotes, estimates and labor estimates must be attached to the COR for review. Having more than one COR for the same
scope of work because subcontractors are late in submitting is not recommended, however there are times it is necessary. If a
time extension to the contract is part of the change request, a critical path schedule from the Prime Contractor must be
included in the COR. DCAMM requires all project schedules to be submitted in an electronic format as required by the
Specifications of the project.
Each COR will be reviewed by the Architect/Designer, the Resident Engineer, and the Project Manager. If there is additional
information required or a correction needs to be made a notification will be sent in a timely manner to the Prime Contractor
with all parties copied. The Architect/Designer, Resident Engineer and Project Manager shall request any necessary
additional information or corrections within 30 days of when the COR is submitted. If additional time is required to evaluate
a COR, then the Contractor shall be notified within the same 30 days of the extended date by which a decision will be made.
The Prime Contractor can resubmit the COR with the original COR number with an "RI" noted for the revision. This
revision should be noted on the PCO log for tracking purposes and updated each time a revision is needed. No work shall
begin until the COR is signed by all parties.
3.03 If the COR is complete and acceptable the Architect/Designer and DCAMM project team will advise the Prime
Contractor of its acceptance consistent with section 3.05, below. Once the COR is accepted, the Prime Contractor is
authorized to start the work and immediately initiate the formal Change Order ("The Gold Sheet"), Form 5, for billing
purposes. Multiple signed CORs may be incorporated into one formal Change Order (Form 5) for approval: however, the
original COR and all back up information must be provided. If the formal Change Order (Form 5) is incomplete or incorrect,
the entire Change Order will be returned to the contractor. In such a case when multiple CORs are submitted together into
one formal Change Order and the submission is either incomplete or incorrect, no single COR will be processed. Prime
Contractors cannot bill for the work until a -formal Change Order (Form 5) is signed by all parties and a double digit CO
number is issued by the DCAMM Project Controls team. This number is to be displayed on the Schedule of Values with the
change description when billing.
3.04 If the COR is not acceptable, all parties must work in good faith, and in a timely manner to resolve any issues prior
to any work starting. If the issues cannot be resolved at the Project Manager or Deputy Director level within 30 days, a
Project Executive from the Prime Contractor and the Director or Deputy Commissioner for Design and Construction will
meet in order to reach final resolution. If the issues still cannot be resolved, the Project Manager may issue a unilateral
Change Order and the Prime Contractor must commence work in accordance with Article VII of the Contract General
Conditions and should refer to Article VII of the Contract General Conditions for performing work under protest and the
Form 13 -Instructions Regarding Change Orders and Contract Modifications (rev. 10/2017) Page 3 of 4
dispute resolution process. This status will be updated on the PCO log and the Prime Contractor and DCAMM Project Team
will continue to work to resolve the issues as outlined in Article VII.
3.0S The Architect/Designer and the Resident Engineer will provide written back up, either in an email or memorandum,
approving the Prime Contractor's submitted COR and Form S Change Order. They are not required to sign the actual form
submitted. The following approvers must sign the actual Change Order for it to be a binding Contract amendment based on
the delegation authority granted by the Commissioner of DCAMM:
The Director or Deputy Commissioner for Design and Construction approval shall be required whenever:
a. the estimate for the work on the Form S's (CORs) exceeds $SO,OOO (absolute value); OR
b. the cumulative cost of previously approved Form S's (CORs) exceeds five percent of the original contract
award price ( or the amount of the GMP amendment in the case of a Chapter 149A project) and the amount of
the Form S (COR) being approved is greater than $2,000.00; OR
c. The change order includes a time extension.
A Deputy Director of Design and Construction shall approve change orders for DCAMM when:
a. The cumulative cost of previously approved Form S's (CORs) is less than five percent of the original contract
award price and the value of the Form S (COR) does not exceed $SO,OOO.OO (absolute value).
With the prior written approval of the Director or Deputy Commissioner for Design and Construction, the Project
Manager shall approve change orders for DCAMM when:
a. The cumulative cost of previously approved Form S's (CO Rs) is less than five percent of the original contract
award price and the value of the Form S does not exceed $S,OOO.OO (absolute value); OR
b. The estimate for the Form S is less than $2,000.00 (absolute value).
BILLING FOR CHANGE ORDERS PRIOR TO RECEIVING THE CHANGE ORDER NUMBER FROM THE DCAMM
PROJECT CONTROLS TEAM WILL RESULT IN THE PAYMENT APPLICATION BEING REJECTED.
SECTION 4. RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROCESSING AND APPROVING CHANGES
4.01 The Prime Contractor is responsible for verifying and validating all subcontractor, vendor and supplier costs and
time extensions being requested as part of any change in the work. Refer to Contract General Conditions at Article VII.
4.02 The Prime Contractor, Architect/Designer, and DCAMM project team will review all PCO, COR, and Change
Orders during the weekly Owner Meetings. There may be additional time needed to approve the changes and a timeframe for
resolution are to be noted in the meeting minutes and on the PCO log.

PHASE TWO, DCP 1828 HCl
NORTHAMPTON, MA
B. Division 01 General Requirements: Requirements of Sections in Division 01 apply to the Work
of all Sections in the Specifications.
C. Specification Format: The Specifications are organized into Divisions and Sections using the
48-division format and CSI/CSC's "MasterFormat" numbering system.
1. Section Identification: The Specifications use Section numbers and titles to help cross-
referencing in the Contract Documents. Sections in the Project Manual are in numeric
sequence; however, the sequence is incomplete because all available Section numbers are
not used. Consult the table of contents at the beginning of the Project Manual to
determine numbers and names of Sections in the Contract Documents.
D. Specification Content: The Specifications use certain conventions for the style of language and
the intended meaning of certain terms, words, and phrases when used in particular situations.
These conventions are as follows:
1. Abbreviated Language: Language used in the Specifications and other Contract
Documents is abbreviated. Words and meanings shall be interpreted as appropriate.
Words implied, but not stated, shall be inferred as the sense requires. Singular words
shall be interpreted as plural, and plural words shall be interpreted as singular where
applicable as the context of the Contract Documents indicates.
2. Imperative mood and streamlined language are generally used in the Specifications.
Requirements expressed in the imperative mood are to be performed by Contractor.
Occasionally, the indicative or subjunctive mood may be used in the Section Text for
clarity to describe responsibilities that must be fulfilled indirectly by Contractor or by
others when so noted.
a. The words "shall," "shall be," or "shall comply with," depending on the context,
are implied where a colon(:) is used within a sentence or phrase.
E. In general, the Specifications will describe the quality of the work and the Drawings will
describe the extent of the work. The Specifications and Drawings are cooperative and
supplementary; however, each item of the work is not necessarily mentioned in both the.
Specifications and the Drawings. All work necessary to complete the project, so described, is to
be included in this Contract.
F. In case of disagreement between the Specifications and Drawings, or within either document
itself, the Architect shall interpret the Documents to require the better quality or greater quantity
of work for the Owner that can reasonably be construed therefrom. Any work performed by the
Contractor without consulting the Architect, when the same requires a decision, shall be
performed at the Contractor's risk.
1.14 CODES, STANDARDS AND PERMITS
A. All work under this contract shall conform to all codes and standards in effect as of the date of
receipt of Bids which are applicable to this Project. All work shall also conform to specific
requirements and interpretations of local authorities having jurisdiction over the Project. These
Codes, standards, and authorities are referred to collectively as "the governing codes and

4. Dispose of runoff from operations by legal means and in a manner that prevents soil
erosion, undermining of paving and foundations, damage to landscaping, and water
penetration into building interiors.
HISTORIC TREATMENT OF PAINTING, GENERAL
Historic Treatment Appearance Standard: Completed work is to have a uniform appearance as
viewed by Architect from building interior at 10 feet away from painted surface and from
building exterior at 20 feet away from painted surface.
Execution of the Work: In treating historic items, disturb them as minimally as possible and as
follows:
1. Remove failed coatings and corrosion and repaint.
2. Verify that substrate surface conditions are suitable for painting.
3. Allow other trades to repair items in place and retain as much original material as
possible before repainting.
4. Reproduce original, historic paint systems where indicated or scheduled.
5. Install temporary protective measures to protect historic painted surfaces that shall be
treated later.
Mechanical Abrasion: Where mechanical abrasion is needed for the work, use only the gentlest
mechanical methods, such as scraping and lightly hand sanding, that will not abrade softer
substrates, reducing clarity of detail. Do not use abrasive methods such as rotary sanding, rotary
wire brushing, or power tools except as indicated as part of the historic treatment program and
as approved by Architect.

Scrub surface with detergent solution and bristle brush until soil is thoroughly dislodged and
can be removed by rinsing. Use small brushes to remove soil from joints and crevices. Dip
brush in solution often to ensure that adequate fresh detergent is used and that surface remains
wet. Rinse with water applied by clean rags or sponges.
Solvent Cleaning: Use solvent cleaning to remove oil, grease, smoke, tar, and asphalt from
painted or unpainted surfaces before other preparation work. Wipe surfaces with solvent using
clean rags and sponges. If necessary, spot-solvent cleaning may be employed just prior to
commencement of paint application, provided enough time is allowed for complete evaporation.
Use clean solvent and clean rags for the final wash to ensure that all foreign materials have been
removed. Do not use solvents, including primer thinner and turpentine, that leave residue.
Mildew: Clean off existing mildew, algae, moss, plant material, loose paint, grease, dirt, and
other debris by scrubbing with bristle brush or sponge and detergent solution. Scrub mildewed
areas with mildewcide. Rinse with water applied by clean rags or sponges.

exceeds 5 mph.
1. Evenly distribute seed by sowing equal quantities in two directions at right angles to each
other.
2. Do not use wet seed or seed that is moldy or otherwise damaged.
3. Do not seed against existing trees. Limit extent of seed to outside edge of planting saucer.
Sow seed at a total rate of 3 to 4 lb/1000 sq. ft.
Rake seed lightly into top 1/8 inch of soil, roll lightly, and water with fine spray.
Protect seeded areas with slopes exceeding 1 :4 with erosion-control blankets installed and
stapled according to manufacturer's written instructions.
Protect seeded areas from hot, dry weather or drying winds by applying compost mulch within
24 hours after completing seeding operations. Soak areas, scatter mulch uniformly to a
thickness of 3/16 inch, and roll surface smooth.
SODDING
Sodding Preparation: Remove existing grass and soil to a minimum depth of 3 inches in all
areas where new sod is to be installed. Add 3 inches of topsoil to excavated area. Use as
conditioned base soil to accept new sod.
B. Lay sod within 24 hours of harvesting unless a suitable preservation method is accepted by
Architect prior to delivery time. Do not lay sod if dormant or if ground is frozen or muddy.
C. Lay sod to form a solid mass with tightly fitted joints. Butt ends and sides of sod; do not stretch
or overlap. Stagger sod strips or pads to offset joints in adjacent courses. Avoid damage to soil
or sod during installation. Tamp and roll lightly to ensure contact with soil, eliminate air
pockets, and form a smooth surface. Work sifted soil or fine sand into minor cracks between
pieces of sod; remove excess to avoid smothering sod and adjacent grass.
D.
3.06
