The Delaware River Port Authority (Authority) is firmly committed to providing equal employment and contracting opportunities for all persons regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or non-job-related disability. In that regard, the Authority will affirmatively assure that, in regard to any Authority purchase agreement issued or Contract entered into pursuant to this project, all qualified persons will be afforded equal opportunity to participate in the contract process and will not be discriminated against on grounds of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or non-job-related disability.

(B) Definitions

Providers of Bona Fide Services - for purposes of this project, bona fide services include professional, technical, consultant or managerial services and assistance in the procurement of essential personnel, facilities, equipment, materials or supplies required for performance of the contract, fees charged for delivery or materials and supplies required on a job site (but not the cost of the materials and supplies themselves)

34

(C) MBE and WBE Goals

1. The Consultant is hereby advised that the Authority will affirmatively

assure that in regard to any Agreement issued or Contract entered into pursuant to this project, certified MBEs and WBEs shall be afforded every opportunity to submit proposals for consideration and will not be discriminated against on grounds of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or non-job-related disability.

2. The participation of certified MBEs/WBEs subconsultants and suppliers is a matter of great interest in the evaluation of all proposals. To that extent, the Authority has established the following participation goals for certified MBEs and WBEs:

MBE WBE

7% 3%

These goals are based on a careful review of the project scope, contracting and supplier opportunities, the estimated overall dollar value of the project, and the number of ready, willing and able MBEs and WBEs in our database that may likely be able to participate on the project as a subconsultant or supplier. The goals shall serve exclusively as a guide in determining Consultant responsibility. Attainment of the goals is not a measure of proposal responsiveness, but will be considered in measuring whether a firm is a responsible contractor or consultant.

3. The total dollar value of a subcontract with a firm that is owned and controlled both by a minority and a woman shall be counted toward either the MBE goal or the WBE, but not both. The Consultant shall choose the goal to which the contract value is to be applied. DRPA will not make this election for the proposing Consultant.

4. At the time the proposal is submitted, the Consultant shall submit its MBE and WBE commitments to the Authority s Office of Business Development & Equal Opportunity. The MBE/WBE solicitation and commitment information shall be recorded on the appropriate forms included in the Request for Proposal package.

Consultant shall submit a narrative as to why it cannot secure MBE/WBE participation for a particular task order for DRPA review and approval. In the event the DRPA approves the issuance of a task order with no MBE/WBE participation, the Consultant will not be required to submit the monthly status reports for that particular task order.

6. The Authority may at any time require such other information or inspections as it deems necessary to determine the compliance of any Consultant with the terms and spirit of these nondiscrimination provisions. The Consultant shall fully cooperate with a compliance review in accordance with the goals and requirements specified in the contract. Unreasonable delays or failures to provide requested information or otherwise to cooperate with the DRPA may result in the withholding of contract payments and may be deemed a breach of this Contract.

HH. DRPA NO SMOKING POLICY

The Consultant must submit in their Contract Safety Plan, as described in Section DD, entitled Contract Safety Plan , a Company No Smoking Policy for this project to be reviewed and approved by the DRPA Safety Department.

Consultant and Subconsultant employees and supervision will not be permitted to smoke in any DRPA buildings or vehicles. Consultant and Subconsultant employees and supervision may smoke at DRPA designated smoking areas if their work is located in a port authority building. It is impossible to identify all designated smoking areas for construction/contractor work sites on the bridges or roadway, as they vary from project to project. However, the DRPA will insist that each consultant comply with the DRPA no smoking policy in buildings, vehicles or areas containing hazardous materials.

At each job site, the Consultant and the DRPA safety department will designate a smoking area for Consultant and Subconsultant employees. The area will include, but not be limited to, the following conditions:

No smoking in immediate work areas.

Smoking will be permitted only at designated smoking areas, at least 100 feet from work areas.

Designated smoking areas must have a smoking sign that indicates this is a designated smoking area. A cigarette butt container with sand must be available to extinguish smoking materials. Cigarette butts will not be permitted to be discarded on the ground or work area.

An approved fire extinguisher(s) will be available at the designated smoking area and within traveling distance of 100 feet in all directions of designated smoking area. A cigarette butt container with sand will be provided.

Consultant and Subconsultant employees must be trained in the proper use of fire extinguishers.

No smoking within 100 feet of flammable liquids, approved flammable liquid containers, and flammable materials.

No smoking within 100 feet of storage and or use of flammable compressed gas cylinders or gas cylinders that support combustion.

No smoking within 100 feet of combustible materials.

Positively NO SMOKING within 100 feet of gas pump area.

** These provisions apply to the Consultant s activities, employees and conduct of work.

II. QUALITY CONTROL/QUALITY ASSURANCE

Within ten (10) days of the Notice to Proceed, the consultant will submit a Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QA/QC) Plan. This plan will describe the consultant s in-house methods and procedures for reviewing and checking all project deliverables including, but not limited to: drawings, reports, quantities, calculations, estimates, schedules, and specifications. The QA/QC Plan will be project specific, and will identify the firm s Quality Control Officer, who is the individual within the consultant s organization who will be responsible for implementing all QA/QC measures.

The consultant s QA/QC Plan will include, as a minimum, provisions for performing an independent review of all deliverables (plans, specifications, estimates, calculations, etc.) Prior to each milestone submission, deliverables will be split between the DRPA and the independent review team. The independent review will be performed by members of the consultant s staff who are not assigned to the project, but who have specific expertise in each relevant discipline. As part of the independent review team, one member of the construction inspection group will be assigned to the review team. This chosen construction inspection staff member must have on-site experience with construction of similar projects. The experience of this individual must be incorporated with the resumes of the proposed staff members. Independent review comments and responses shall be documented in writing and shall be submitted to the Authority with each milestone submission. Along with the review comments, the consultant will also provide with each submission a written certification stating that all deliverables have received an independent QA/QC review in accordance with the QA/QC plan. This certification shall be signed by the consultant s QA/QC officer vehicles or areas containing hazardous materials.
