PROVISIONS FOR ALL FEDERALLY FUNDED A/E CONTRACTS
The ENGINEER shall also comply with and include in every sub -tier the following federal
clauses, which the term contractor within these clauses shall have the same meaning as
ENGINEER, whenever federal funding is anticipated.
CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964, TITLE VI — CONTRACTOR CONTRACTUAL
REQUIREMENTS
During the performance of this contract, the contractor, for itself, its assignees and succes-
sors in interest (hereinafter referred to as the "contractor") agrees as follows:
1.1 Compliance with Regulations. The contractor shall comply with the Regulations
relative to nondiscrimination in federally assisted programs of the Department of Trans-
portation (hereinafter, "DOT") Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 21, as they
may be amended from time to time (hereinafter referred to as the Regulations), which
are herein incorporated by reference and made a part of this contract.
1.2 Nondiscrimination. The contractor, with regard to the work performed by it during the
contract, shall not discriminate on the grounds of race, color, or national origin in the se-
lection and retention of subcontractors, including procurements of materials and leases
of equipment. The contractor shall not participate either directly or indirectly in the dis-
crimination prohibited by section 21.5 of the Regulations, including employment practices
when the contract covers a program set forth in Appendix B of the Regulations.
1.3 Solicitations for Subcontracts, Including Procurements of Materials and Equip-
ment. In all solicitations either by competitive bidding or negotiation made by the
contractor for work to be performed under a subcontract, including procurements of ma-
terials or leases of equipment, each potential subcontractor or supplier shall be notified
by the contractor of the contractor's obligations under this contract and the Regulations
relative to nondiscrimination on the grounds of race, color, or national origin.
1.4 Information and Reports. The contractor shall provide all information and reports
required by the Regulations or directives issued pursuant thereto and shall permit access
to its books, records, accounts, other sources of information, and its facilities as may be
determined by the Sponsor or the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to be pertinent
to ascertain compliance with such Regulations, orders, and instructions. Where any in-
formation required of a contractor is in the exclusive possession of another who fails or
refuses to furnish this information, the contractor shall so certify to the sponsor or the
FAA, as appropriate, and shall set forth what efforts it has made to obtain the infor-
mation.
1.5 Sanctions for Noncompliance. In the event of the contractor's noncompliance with the
nondiscrimination provisions of this contract, the sponsor shall impose such contract
sanctions as it or the FAA may determine to be appropriate, including, but not limited to:
Page 1 of 5

complies, and/or
b. Cancellation, termination, or suspension of the contract, in whole or in part.
1.6 Incorporation of Provisions. The contractor shall include the provisions of paragraphs
1 through 5 in every subcontract, including procurements of materials and leases of
equipment, unless exempt by the Regulations or directives issued pursuant thereto. The
contractor shall take such action with respect to any subcontract or procurement as the
sponsor or the FAA may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions including sanc-
tions for noncompliance. Provided, however, that in the event a contractor becomes
involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or supplier as a result of
such direction, the contractor may request the Sponsor to enter into such litigation to pro-
tect the interests of the sponsor and, in addition, the contractor may request the United
States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.
AIRPORT AND AIRWAY IMPROVEMENT ACT OF 1982, SECTION 520 - GENERAL CIVIL
RIGHTS PROVISIONS
The contractor assures that it will comply with pertinent statutes, Executive orders and such
rules as are promulgated to assure that no person shall, on the grounds of race, creed, color,

with or benefiting from Federal assistance. This provision obligates the ten-
ant/concessionaire/lessee or its transferee for the period during which Federal assistance is
extended to the airport a program, except where Federal assistance is to provide, or is in the
form of personal property or real property or interest therein or structures or improvements
thereon. In these cases the provision obligates the party or any transferee for the longer of
the following periods: (a) the period during which the property is used by the airport sponsor
or any transferee for a purpose for which Federal assistance is extended, or for another
purpose involving the provision of similar services or benefits or (b) the period during which

basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract. The contractor
shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 in the award and administration of

al breach of this contract, which may result in the termination of this contract or such other
remedy, as the recipient deems appropriate.
Prompt Payment (§26.29) - The prime contractor agrees to pay each subcontractor under
this prime contract for satisfactory performance of its contract no later than 60 days from the
receipt of each payment the prime contractor receives from OWNER. The prime contractor
agrees further to return retainage payments to each subcontractor within 60 days after the
Page 2 of 5
subcontractor's work is satisfactorily completed. Any delay or postponement of payment from
the above referenced time frame may occur only for good cause following written approval of
the OWNER. This clause applies to both DBE and non -DBE subcontractors.
LOBBYING AND INFLUENCING FEDERAL EMPLOYEES
(1) No Federal appropriated funds shall be paid, by or on behalf of the contractor, to any
person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a
Member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member
of Congress in connection with the making of any Federal grant and the amendment or
modification of any Federal grant.
(2) If any funds other than Federal appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid to any
person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a
Member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member
of Congress in connection with any Federal grant, the contractor shall complete and

tractors may result in the suspension or termination of this contract or such other action that
may be necessary to enforce the rights of the parties of this agreement. The duties and
obligations imposed by the Contract Documents and the rights and remedies available
thereunder shall be in addition to and not a limitation of any duties, obligations, rights and
remedies otherwise imposed or available by law.
RIGHTS TO INVENTIONS
All rights to inventions and materials generated under this contract are subject to regulations
issued by the FAA and the Sponsor of the Federal grant under which this contract is execut-
ed.
Page 3 of 5
TRADE RESTRICTION CLAUSE
The contractor or subcontractor, by submission of an offer and/or execution of a contract,
certifies that it:
a. is not owned or controlled by one or more citizens of a foreign country included in
the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms published by the Office of
the United States Trade Representative (USTR);
b. has not knowingly entered into any contract or subcontract for this project with a
person that is a citizen or national of a foreign country on said list, or is owned or
controlled directly or indirectly by one or more citizens or nationals of a foreign
country on said list;
c. has not procured any product nor subcontracted for the supply of any product for
use on the project that is produced in a foreign country on said list.
Unless the restrictions of this clause are waived by the Secretary of Transportation in accord-
ance with 49 CFR 30.17, no contract shall be awarded to a contractor or subcontractor who is
unable to certify to the above. If the contractor knowingly procures or subcontracts for the
supply of any product or service of a foreign country on said list for use on the project, the
Federal Aviation Administration may direct through the Sponsor cancellation of the contract at
no cost to the Government.
Further, the contractor agrees that, if awarded a contract resulting from this solicitation, it will
incorporate this provision for certification without modification in each contract and in all lower
tier subcontracts. The contractor may rely on the certification of a prospective subcontractor
unless it has knowledge that the certification is erroneous.
The contractor shall provide immediate written notice to the sponsor if the contractor learns
that its certification or that of a subcontractor was erroneous when submitted or has become
erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. The subcontractor agrees to provide written
notice to the contractor if at any time it learns that its certification was erroneous by reason of
changed circumstances.
This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when
making the award. If it is later determined that the contractor or subcontractor knowingly
rendered an erroneous certification, the Federal Aviation Administration may direct through
the Sponsor cancellation of the contract or subcontract for default at no cost to the Govern-
ment.
Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of
records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by this provision. The
knowledge and information of a contractor is not required to exceed that which is normally
possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.
This certification concerns a matter within the jurisdiction of an agency of the United States of
America and the making of a false, fictitious, or fraudulent certification may render the maker
