4. Contractor does not knowingly employ or contract with an unauthorized alien, nor retain any
employee or contract with a person that the Contractor subsequently learns is an unauthorized alien.
Contractor agrees that he/she/it shall enroll in and verify the work eligibility status of all of Contractor's
newly hired employees through the E-Verify Program as defined by I.C. 22-5-1.7-3. Contractor's
documentation of enrollment and participation in the E-Verify Program is included and attached as part of
this bid/quote; and
5. Contractor shall require his/her/its subcontractors performing work under this public contract to
certify that the subcontractors do not knowingly employ or contract with an unauthorized alien, nor retain
any employee or contract with a person that the subcontractor subsequently learns is an unauthorized alien,
and that the subcontractor has enrolled in and is participating in the E-Verify Program. The Contractor agrees
to maintain this certification throughout the term of the contract with the City of South Bend, and understands
that the City may terminate the contract for default if the Contractor fails to cure a breach of this provision
no later than thirty (30) days after being notified by the City.
6. Persons, partnerships, corporations, associations, or joint venturers awarded a contract by the City
of South Bend through its agencies, boards, or commissions shall not discriminate against any employee or
applicant for employment in the performance of a City contract with respect to hire, tenure, terms, conditions,

In awarding contracts for the purchase of work, labor, services, supplies, equipment, materials, or any
combination of the foregoing including, but not limited to, public works contracts awarded under public
bidding laws or other contracts in which public bids are not required by law, the City, its agencies, boards,
or commissions may consider the Contractor's good faith efforts to obtain participation by those Contractors
certified by the State of Indiana as a Minority Business ("MBE") or as a Women's Business Enterprise
("WBE") as a factor in determining the lowest, responsible, responsive bidder.
In no event shall persons or entities seeking the award of a City contract be required to award a subcontract
to an MBE/WBE; however, it may not unlawfully discriminate against said WBE/MBE. A finding of a
discriminatory practice by the City's MBE/WBE Utilization Board shall prohibit that person or entity from
being awarded a City contract for a period of one (1) year from the date of such determination, and such
determination may also be grounds for terminating the contact for which the discriminatory practice or
noncompliance pertains.
7. The undersigned contractor agrees that the following nondiscrimination commitment shall be made
a part of any contract which it may henceforth enter into with the City of South Bend, Indiana or any of its
agencies, boards or commissions.
Contractor agrees not to discriminate against or intimidate any employee or applicant for employment in the
performance of this contract with privileges of employment, or any matter directly or indirectly related to
employment, because of race, religion, color, sex, gender expression, gender identity, sexual orientation,
handicap, national origin or ancestry. Breach of this provision may be regarded as material breach of
contract.
I, the undersigned bidder or agent as contractor on a public works project, understand my statutory
obligations to the use of steel products or foundry products made in the United States (I.C. 5-16-8-1). I hereby
certify that I and all subcontractors employed by me for this project will use steel products or foundry
products made in the United States on this project if awarded. I understand I have an affirmative duty to
notify the City in my bid that my proposal does not include the use of steel products or foundry products
made in the United States. I understand it is my sole obligation and responsibility to provide a justification
to the City, subject to review and approval, why the cost of United States made steel or foundry products is
unreasonable. Prior to award and upon submission of bid which does not use steel products or foundry
products made in the United States, the City, through its director of public works, shall make a determination
if the price of United States made steel or foundry is unreasonable. I understand that violations hereunder
Version 1/17/2019 Contractor's Bid for Public Works - 6
may result in forfeiture of contractual payments.
I hereby affirm under the penalties of perjury that the facts and information contained in the foregoing bid
for public works are true and correct.

CORPORATE ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY MANUAL
SUBJECT: SUBSTANCE ABUSE IN THE WORKPLACE
SCOPE: This policy applies to all co-workers, applicants, company premises and those of
its divisions, subsidiaries, and/or affiliates. Such premises include, but shall not
be limited to: all property, facilities, land, buildings, structures, parking lots,
offices, job sites, company -sponsored sporting events, installations, boats,
automobiles, trucks, heavy equipment, miscellaneous vehicles whether owned or
leased, and personal vehicles being used on company business.
All co-workers working through a temporary agency are subject to all
requirements of this policy. All temporary co-workers must be tested prior to
working for any High company, its divisions, subdivisions or affiliates. In the
event of a positive screen they will be released from their assignment and barred
from working for any High company or its divisions, subdivisions or affiliates.
Interns and other seasonal workers are subject to the High drug testing policy. In
the event of a positive screen, interns or seasonal workers will be released from
their assignments and barred from working for any High company or its divisions,
subdivisions or affiliates.
This policy does NOT apply to co-workers performing Safety Sensitive duties
(i.e., operating a Commercial Motor Vehicle). High maintains a separate
Substance Abuse policy for Safety Sensitive Workers.
PURPOSE: High recognizes that alcoholism, drug dependence and other medical and/or
behavioral conditions are highly complex illnesses that, under most
circumstances, can be successfully treated. Co-workers are encouraged to
voluntarily seek assistance from the Company's Employee Assistance Program
(EAP), and the initiation of such action will not, in and of itself, be held against a
co-worker.
Therefore, in order to help maintain a safe and efficient work environment, High
has adopted a policy on "Substance Abuse In the Workplace" (Policy No. 2-662).
High has adopted this policy in order to:
• Help maintain a safe and healthful work environment for its co-workers and
its affiliated or subsidiary companies
• Protect corporate property and assets
• Cooperate with its customers, contractors, and subcontractors in their efforts
to maintain safe and efficient operations

community, industry, and its customers
Provide counseling and/or rehabilitation assistance for co-workers when
appropriate.

designer drugs, synthetic drugs; unauthorized drugs or illegally obtained
drugs.
1.1.2 Illegally obtained prescription drugs. Use of prescriptions in a name other
than that of the co-worker. Co-workers are encouraged to bring medicine
quantities limited to the dosage amount they will need to take during their
shift.
1.1.3 Reporting to work, operating a motor vehicle, machinery, or equipment
with a confirmed breath alcohol level at or above 0.02 ug/l.
1.1.4 Drug paraphernalia including, but not limited to: needles; syringes;
bowls; containers; spoons; objects used or intended for use during
ingesting, inhaling, or otherwise introducing legal or illegal substances
into the human body is strictly prohibited. These substances may include,
but are not limited to: marijuana, cocaine, hashish, hashish oil, model
glue, nitrous oxide, aerosols, or other substances identified under Section
1.1 of this policy.
PROCEDURE:
2.0 Pre -Employment Screenings
2.1 All prospective co-workers will be required to submit to a drug screen as part of the
post offer physical process.
2.2 No applicant will be screened without the individual's signed consent. Applicants
should undergo testing within 24 hours of being notified and before they begin
employment. Prospective co-workers applying for safety sensitive positions will
follow FMCSA rules in addition to any other High post offer testing processes.
2.2.1 Applicants who refuse screening, or who have a confirmed positive result,
will not be considered for employment and may re -apply and will be

OPERATIONAL PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING SUBSTANCE ABUSE REPORTS
FOR ACTIVE CO-WORKERS
An account is set up with a nationally accredited laboratory under the name of the High.
Designated Employer's Representative DER The DER is the ONLY person who may receive
the information from the lab. It is a secured account, and the results are kept in a secured file in
the Corporate Office Building. Access to these records is only through the DER or the C.-;orporat
Director Environmental Health and SafletlY Services. No other access is available.
All current co-worker information will come to the attention of the DER or, in that person's
absence, the Corporate Director Environmental Health and SaEqtyj5gvices. This will ensure
that there is no chance of an unauthorized individual receiving this information. The DER will
review the report and assure the correct person (Human Resources Representative) receives the
information. In the absence of the Human Resources Representative, the company CEO will
receive the information.
The lab will give all information regarding testing to the proper High account. The lab will
identify results with the individual's name. There will be NO NUMBERS used, as in post offer,
due to the possibility of confusion.
Substance abuse testing for persons covered by 40 CFR Part 40 shall be conducted in accordance
with High "Substance Abuse Testing for Safety Sensitive Employees", policy 2-661.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Testing Reasons for Tests Payment, Return -to -Work Procedural Information):
:
Q.1 If the supervisor decides an individual needs a drug test because he dislikes that person,
and he makes up symptoms --is there some way we can have a second witness involved to
observe this co-worker to make sure the test is warranted?
A. Check the policy. The supervisor MUST be able to articulate the reason(s) for which he
wants the person tested. See section 4.2 of the policy. Someone else MUST verify that
reason. Also, the supervisor may not send co-workers in to be tested without
authorization from the supervisor in charge and the Human Resources Director and/or
the Corporate Director, Environmental, Health & Safety Services and/or the Corporate
Disability Coordinator.
Q.2 What happens on the second or third shift if a supervisor feels he has a person who needs
to be tested (first shift is no problem because you can contact Human Resources)?
A. The supervisor may contact the highest plant official, either superintendent or general
foreman. If the plant official feels the situation needs addressed, then they will contact
the Human Resources Director and/or the Corporate Director, Environmental, Health &
Safety Services and/or the Corporate Disability Coordinator.
Q.3 If a co-worker is missing a lot of work, may we give him a drug test for missing work?
A. NO! There must be another valid reason to test. Testing cannot be performed strictly
due to poor attendance. The supervisor can still counsel the co-worker on his/her
attendance problem.
Q.4 It's 10 a.m. You have a probable cause. You send a co-worker for a reasonable suspicion
test. It is now after lunch and the co-worker returns. Do you let the individual come back
to work?
A. If you suspected the individual was impaired to the extent that they needed to be seen by
a doctor, they are possibly a threat to their safety or to the safety of others, they can only
return to work if a physician declares them fit for duty.
Q.5 Will the individual who is taken off -site for a test be paid?
A. Yes. See 16.0
Q.6 The next day after an active co-worker is tested, if we do not have the test results back,
may he report to work?
A. Yes, if he is not visibly impaired.
Q.7 If a person is tested negative, can he/she legally come back on the Company for
administering a test?
A. No, not as long as we have a signed consent form from the person.

Supersedes Policy Number/Dated: 01/01/06 Policy Number 2-662
Approved by: Larry Brown Effective Date: 08/01/08
Q.8 Will there be a list of possible Drug Testing Locations throughout the different states
where some of our divisions would be tested? May we have a copy of this list to use?
A. Yes, there is a list. The Safety & Health Department will provide information on where a
co-worker may go for treatment and/or testing.
Q.9 How long can a substance still be detectable?
A. Different drugs remain in the system for differing periods. For example:
Cocaine - approximately 1-4 days
Marijuana - approximately one month for a heavy user, two weeks if a recreational user.
These are approximate times and should not be used in making a decision to test.
Q.10 How do we test truck drivers?
A. If a person has an accident while out on the road, refer to Substance Abuse Policy for
Safety Sensitive Employees.
Q.11 If a person is hurt on the job site away from a home location, receives medical treatment
in some out-of-the-way place, has not been admitted to a hospital and is on his way back,
how do I get him tested?
A. Assuming the out-of-the-way place is not equipped for substance abuse testing, contact
Corporate Safety & Health and they can direct you to the nearest testing site.
Q.12 If a co-worker causes property or equipment damage, near miss, etc. at the start of the
shift, may I wait until the end of the shift to send him/ her for a drug test?
A. No, you should NOT wait until the end of the shift because if the individual is under the
influence of anything at the time of the accident, they may be clean by the end of the
shift. They should be sent immediately — policy states within 2 hours.
Q.13 What happens if I do not agree with my test results? May I take the test over?
A. You may have the same specimen retested either at another lab of your choice or have
the company designated lab retest it. You will need to pay High for the test prior to the
retest. If the initial test was incorrect, High will reimburse you. Re -tests must be
coordinated with the DER.
Q.14 May I have a copy of my drug test result?
A. Yes. Refer to Section 10.0.
Q.15 If I smell alcohol on a co -worker's breath, may I send him/ her in for a test?
A. NO. You may not send the co-worker in for smell alone. See section 4.2 "Reasonable
Suspicion". When you have reasonable suspicion, you need objective facts such as
staggered walk, slurred speech, instability, inattentiveness, etc. in addition to the smell
of alcohol.

Approved by: Larry Brown Effective Date: 08/01/08
Q.16 What about random testing?
A. In addition to random testing for CDL drivers, individual SBU's may elect to conduct
random testing. See section 4.5.
Q.17 How is it decided who is picked for a random drug test?
A. The list is computer generated. Once the computer picks the names for the random test,
those names are once again put back in to the co-worker pool.
Treatment/ Employee Assistance Program (EAP):
Q.18 Who pays for the treatment?
A. Two possible scenarios exist:
1. Co-worker is going into a treatment program; EAP refers him
to a private counselor because it will require more than 5 or 6 visits to the EAP.
The private counselor or provider's fee will be covered under the co -worker's
health/accident benefit with the company as per the insurance contract.
2. If co-worker is admitted or confined to a hospital for treatment, co -worker's
weekly disability will become active. If there is a waiting period before benefits
start, the co-worker may use vacation during that waiting period.
Q.19 May I go to my own therapist?
A. You must first go to the EAP. If the EAP refers you outside, you may ask the EAP if you
may go to your own therapist. If the EAP says yes and if the therapist meets the requirements of
certification, etc., it is OK. (The EAP must maintain supervision of the co -worker's treatment
and must, likewise, release the co-worker to return to work. No other return -to -work document
will be accepted! Return -to -work notice must come from the EAP's main office.) A co-worker
enters this phase of our program through the EAP and returns to work or is terminated from
employment.
Q.20 Who decides when a suspended co-worker may return to work?
A. The EAP determines this, not High.
Probationary Period/ Discipline:
Q.21 During the 5-day suspension for policy violation, may the co-worker use vacation time
while they are off work?
A. Yes, he/she may use vacation time, or take the time without pay. We are giving co-
workers the opportunity to make sure they have some income while receiving treatment

Approved by: Larry Brown Effective Date: 08/01/08
Q.22 What happens if a person who has been tested and is discharged asks why other co-
workers were not tested?
A. As a matter of law and choice, High treats its relationship with a co-worker as a private
matter. High will not respond to requests for information related to its relationship with a
co-worker to anyone but that co-worker and the representatives authorized by that co-
worker.
Q.23 Who decides unannounced testing for a co-worker who is on probation?
A. The DER will decide when this will be authorized.
Q.24 What happens if I have completed the 2-year Probationary Program for substance abuse
violation and I test positive again?
A. Your employment is terminated.
Searches:
Q.25 If we use K-9's (dogs) and find something in a locker (illegal substance), may we fire an
individual?
A. Yes, according to our policy. As long as the substance is tested and found to be illegal,
the individual may be dismissed. However, use of dogs, etc. will not be used without
Corporate Management approval.
Q.26 May we handle a substance without being charged with possession?
A. No. If you find something that you believe is an illegal substance you should notify your
supervisor and/or DER. We will then notify police, inform them that you found
something, and request that it be tested. If you have reason to believe that drugs are
being sold on your shift, people are wandering away, you have heard talk, etc., then
contact your supervisor.
Miscellaneous:
Q.27 If a supervisor's friend is having a problem, and the supervisor is over looking the
problem, what can co-workers do? How do coworkers approach the subject?
A. Co-workers may talk to Human Resources, Safety and Health, etc. Even another
supervisor may discuss the matter with the supervisor in question or bring it to Human
Resources' attention.
Q.28 If a co-worker is hurt, who takes the individual for treatment?
A. The First Aider will determine the best method of transport for the individual.

Approved by: Larry Brown Effective Date: 08/01/08
Q.29 If an impaired person refuses to stay at work or to have someone else take them home,
and, instead goes home on their own, should we call the police?
A. Yes, in the case where you believe someone is impaired. If possible, advise the
uncooperative co-worker that you intend to notify the authorities before he/she leaves the
premises.
Q.30 A person is charged with drunk driving on his own time and is convicted. Does this
affect High?
A. Yes it could. It depends on whether the person is required to drive on behalf of the
company as part of his/her job duties. It is prohibited to operate a company vehicle
without a valid driver's license. All such circumstances should be discussed with the
Corporate Director, Environmental, Health and Safety Services.
Q.31 What is considered medical treatment?
A. Any treatment done at any medical facility or by a licensed health care provider.
Q.32 Who is responsible for transporting to a medical facility?
A. It depends why they are being transported. If a co-worker is being sent for a substance
screen for "fitness for duty", that co-worker must be transported by the supervisor or a
competent person designated by the supervisor, since his/her faculties are in question.
If an individual is injured, the first aider must make the determination whether that
individual can safely transport him/herself, medically speaking, in accordance with the
First Aid Operating Policies.
If the individual is being sent for testing because they have had a near miss, property or
equipment damage, if the supervisor believes that the individual is not impaired they
may allow that individual to transport themselves.
In all cases, the individual must have a photo ID. If an individual does not have a photo
ID, that individual must be accompanied by someone with a photo ID who can identify
the individual.

requirements for consideration of employment is the satisfactory passing of a Drug Screen Test.
Please read the following information and instructions carefully:
NOTICE: This Company has a policy which prohibits the possession and/or use of illegal
and unauthorized drugs and alcohol. The Company will search and substance screen its
co-workers' personal effects as an enforcement measure of this policy in order to maintain

corporation have also elected to conduct random substance abuse testing. This policy is
enforced to maintain the integrity and security of Company facilities and property. You
may be eliminated from consideration from employment with a High company if the
results of your substance screen indicates that you are applying for employment while you
are using alcohol or any unauthorized or illegal drugs.
NOTE TO APPLICANT: The laboratories which conduct the screenings will automatically
run two screenings for any positive result, using two separate methodologies. The first is a
screening test, the second is a confirmation test.
For a positive drug test result, if you desire, a portion of the specimen will be made available to a
laboratory of your choice for additional confirmation testing. If you request this to be done, you
must bear the expense of the additional testing if the results of the original testing are confirmed.
APPLICANT: I have read and understand this phase of the post -offer medical requirements. I
accept the conditions for consideration of employment. I consent to the requirements of the
substance screens and any other post -offer physical examination if required. I agree in
submitting to these tests that the testing facility is authorized by me to provide the test results to

hereby release and hold harmless, the Company, its owners, co-workers, agents, directors and
officers from any liability whatsoever arising from this request to furnish specimens, the testing
of my specimens, the results of the testing, and decision made concerning my application for
employment based upon the results of the substance screen tests.

precast concrete components (performance design). Pricing includes components and design allowances for
conditions reflected in the design documents.
4. General Contractor/Construction Manager shall be responsible for leading and managing the coordination between
trade contractors.
5. HCG Excludes Geotechnical analysis or subsurface investigations to verify bearing pressures for truck and crane
operations. The site surface must be designed by others to support hoisting and hauling equipment required for
precast operations.
6. MATERIALS SUPPLIED BY OTHERS: Materials supplied by others for inclusion in precast products must be
supplied with the proper layout information six (6) weeks prior to scheduled start of production.
7. CAST IN ELECTRICAL CONDUITS: No provisions are included to embed any electrical conduits within the precast.

9. WATER REPELLENT COATINGS: HCG proposal "Excludes" providing any Water Repellent Coatings.
10. CRANE / TRUCK ACCESS: HCG proposal is based upon having crane and truck access as shown in the attached
Site Logistics Plan prepared by High Concrete from a site visit on 4/30/19.
11. BRACING OF SUPERSTRUCTURE: HCG proposal "Excludes" all bracing of the building frame.
12. BRICK -JOINT TUCKPOINTING: FICG proposal "Excludes" tooling or tuckpointing of thin -brick joints as bricks are
laid into a special form liner that provides the clean, crisp joints.
13. THIN BRICK LEAD TIME: Please note that the lead time for the thin brick material can be extensive. HCG has seen
as much as 16 weeks for some thin brick material.
14. PANEL THICKNESS: HCG estimate is based various 11" thick precast panels in most areas, based on the 5"
interior wythe, 3" insulation and 3" exterior wythe. Per Addendum #3, precast panels in the garage areas where
exposed to the outside will be 8" thick solid units with no insulation.

ACCESS & INSTALLATION SPECIFIC QUALIFICATIONS:
1. EQUIPMENT ACCESS: HCG delivery trucks must have clear and unobstructed access within reach of the erection
crane(s) and trucks AS SHOWN IN. THE ATTACHED SITE LOGISITCS PLAN PREPARED BY HIGH CONCRETE
BASED ON SITE VISIT. Access for precast delivery trucks must be firm and level so equipment can move under its
own power to the crane location. 30-foot access must be supplied and maintained by others, not HCG. Overhead
restrictions on the site; or at the site access entry point must be removed prior by others at no cost to HCG.
2. All coordination, logistic, permits, construction barriers, power/telephone line relocation, etc. required for the access
into the site will be the responsibility of others. Site logistics are to be provided by others.
3. HCG will seek an area on site for staging 3-4 trailers during erection to facilitate dropped loads; an area immediately
adjacent to the building footprint will also be utilized for movement of deliveries.
4. Any site work required creating acceptable grading for trucks must be by the GC.
5. CRANE MOBILIZATION(s) INCLUDED: 1 (ONE) for ground crane/crew to be erected continuous.
6. SITE LABOR: Erector — OPEN SHOP LABOR Patching Crew — Open Shop LABOR. All installation is to be
performed during daylight normal working hours Monday through Friday. No overtime or weekend work is included.
7. TEMPORARY UTILITIES: Purchaser shall provide HCG with temporary 100v and 120v electric, and water under
pressure within 50 feet of our work.
8. If second shift work is required, sufficient lighting must be provided by others to permit adequate visual control of all
installation operations. Please note that second shift work is not provided as part of this proposal and shall be
negotiated with the HCG Project Manager.
9. SAFETY CABLES AND/OR GUARDRAIL SYSTEMS: (consisting of both top and mid -height rails as well as toe
boards, which abide by O.S.H.A. Standards), must be furnished, installed and maintained along the perimeter of all
roof and floor areas, floor openings, etc. by others. Any perimeter safety devices, (i.e. cables, guardrails, stanchions,
toe boards, etc), which interfere with the actual location in which precast panels are to be erected, shall be removed
by HCG personnel as needed.
10. ERECTION SAFETY: The erection operation will utilize an OSHA approved Monitored Safety Plan developed by
HCG's erection subcontractor. HCG erectors to abide by 100% tie -off above 6 feet. Tie off is not included on any
trailer deck unloading operation.
11. LOADING, DELIVERING AND SHUTTLING: of all precast concrete units are to be in accordance with federal, state
and local laws, and PCI Standards, Division 2, Practices and Procedures.
CONTRACT SPECIFIC QUALIFICATIONS
HCG qualifies that modifications to the Contract Agreement and General Conditions must be incorporated based on mutually
agreeable terms between HCG and the Contractor. The changes typically relate to issues including but not limited to:
indemnification, insurance, payment terms for stored material, retainage, and Subcontractor obligations. Other items are also
included in this section. HCG will also require specific language to address Owner's Termination for Convenience; specific
language must be added to the Subcontract Rider addressing HCG's lost opportunity and profits in the event of termination
for convenience by the Owner.
PAYMENT FOR STORED MATERIALS
Due to the nature and size of this project, a majority of the precast product will need to be made months in advance to ensure
enough product is available when the site requires it. Because of this necessity, HCG asks that payment for finished and
yard -stored precast panels be made due to the excessive costs that would be "fronted" for this project. Photographic and
written documentation of each panel completed and stored can be provided to assist with the payment process if needed.
Should this payment process be denied, HCG would have additional extensive costs that are not covered within this proposal
and need to be revisited.
