E-Verify is an Internet-based system that allows an employer, using information reported on an employee's Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, to determine the eligibility of that employee to work in the United States. There is no charge to employers to use E-Verify. The E-Verify system is operated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in partnership with the Social Security Administration. E-Verify is available in Spanish. The State of Michigan is requiring all Contractors, and Subcontractors, to verify that new employees are legally present and authorized to work in the United States, using the E-Verify System. Information on registration for and use of the E-Verify program can be obtained via the Internet at the DHS Web site: http://www.dhs.gov/E-Verify. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to include this specification in all tiers of subcontracts. The required use of the E-Verify system will not be paid for separately as part of the contract but is considered included in the costs for other pay items in the contract. Ensure all levels of contracting (prime, sub, sub-sub, etc.) comply with all labor compliance requirements in this contract. The Contractor is responsible for subcontractors and lower tier subcontractor labor compliance. Job site poster requirements apply to state and federally funded projects. All Contractors must insert this special provision in each subcontract and further require its inclusion in lower tier subcontracts. Contractors are advised that the project area has a known population of the Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake or is within its known range. This species is listed as federally threatened under the U. S. Endangered Species Act of 1973 (Act). Taking (killing, harming, or disturbing in any manner) of Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake without a federal permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is prohibited under federal law. The Act provides enforcement authority to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and contains severe penalties for violations. The Contractor is liable to the Department for any penalties imposed for violations to the Act due to the Contractor's failure to comply with this special provision. Fines and penalties range up to $50,000 and 1 year in prison. Violation of any requirement listed below can lead to an immediate work stoppage in Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake habitat. FHWA is required under federal law to assure MDOT is compliant with these provisions or risk losing federal funding for the project. This special provision addresses education, notification and intentional take requirements of the Contractor and their workers to protect the Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake as required under the Act. This work consists of furnishing a Warm-Mix Asphalt (WMA) mixture using a water-injection foaming device or water foaming additive in lieu of the standard Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) specified if the Contractor elects to do so. Ensure all work is in accordance with the standard specifications and applicable special provisions, except as modified herein. No deviations to acceptance test methods/procedures will be allowed. This special provision provides sampling and testing requirements for local agency projects using the roller method and the nuclear density gauge testing. Provide the hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixture in accordance with the requirements of the standard specifications, except where modified herein. This work consists of fine texture or micro texture milling, removal, and disposal of existing HMA pavement from the project. Fine texture milling is intended for use on HMA milling and resurfacing projects where production can be increased by allowing traffic to drive on the milled surface for up to 72 hours. Micro texture milling is intended for use on Capital Preventive Maintenance (CPM) projects to mill distressed surface seals, address pavement profile, rutting, ride quality, or other deficiencies prior to a CPM surface seal. Micro texture milling may be used on CPM projects to address pavement surface deficiencies as a standalone treatment. This special provision sets the guidelines for when mobile attenuators are to be used to protect workers or work equipment from vehicular traffic. Throughout this special provision, mobile attenuators refer to truck mounted attenuators (TMA) and trailer mounted attenuators. Use mobile attenuators in projects to protect personnel or equipment when one or more of the following conditions are met. o The vehicle is designated as a protective vehicle (shadow vehicle or barrier vehicle) as part of the Maintaining Traffic Typicals, maintenance of traffic plans, or other contract documents. o Aerial work is being performed on scaffolding, lifts, hoists, bucket trucks, etc., where workers using this equipment are in an occupied lane or shoulder and not protected by temporary barrier. Mobile attenuators are not intended to be used for the removal, installation, or maintenance of traffic signals. o Mobile/short duration operations such as pavement marking convoys, grinding in rumble strips, permanent sign installations, temporary ground mounted sign installations, sign installations located in areas where a work-vehicle cannot pull entirely outside of the edge line, luminescent installations, etc. Mobile attenuators are not intended to be used for the removal or installation of special markings. Do not mount mobile attenuators on the vehicle or equipment used by personnel to complete aerial work. Do not use mobile attenuators as a temporary/permanent barrier ending except during replacement of damaged temporary/permanent barrier endings. In the event that a mobile attenuator is used as a temporary safety measure for a damaged temporary/permanent barrier ending, the maximum length of time that it can be used for this purpose is 48 hours or as approved by the Engineer. 1. Stationary and Mobile Operation. This work consists of furnishing a vehicle with a gross vehicle weight meeting manufacturer's specifications, or meeting the minimum weight requirements shown in Tables 1 and 2, whichever is greater. Furnish, install, and operate a mobile attenuator in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, the contract, and/or as directed by the Engineer. Locate the attenuator placement as detailed in the applicable Maintaining Traffic Typical, maintenance of traffic plans or elsewhere in the contract. Securely attach material loaded onto the vehicle to obtain the required gross weight, for transport or during work operations to the vehicle. Hazardous materials will not be allowed on this vehicle. Materials that will be off loaded and incorporated into the construction activities will not be considered part of the vehicle gross weight.
