this bid/quote; and
5. Contractor shall require his/her/its subcontractors performing work under this public contract to

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

In no event shall persons or entities seeking the award of a City contract be required to award a subcontract

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.

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.

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.

CONTRACTOR'S BID FOR PUBLIC WORK
RESPONSIBLE BIDDER CHECKLIST
Project Name Commerce Center Architectural Precast Concrete Panels
Project No. 119-030 R
For Bids Due August 13, 2019 9:30 a.m. Local Time
Contractor Name: High Concrete Group LLC
The City seeks to enhance its ability to identify responsive and responsible bidders on all City public works
projects by institution of comprehensive submission requirements in compliance with State law. Quality
workmanship, efficient operation, safety, and timely completion of projects requires that all bidders meet
certain minimum requirements to be responsive and responsible bidders.
THIS FORM MUST BE SUBMITTED WITH YOUR BID.
INSTRUCTIONS:
If you are a pre -qualified bidder, complete Section I only.
If you are not a pre -qualified bidder, complete Section II only.
Section II acts as an application for pre -qualification. Submission of Section II will allow the bidder to be
considered for pre -qualification for bids with the City of South Bend Department of Public Works. Pre -
qualified bidders will then be exempt from a portion of the submission requirements outlined in Section 6-
63 of The Responsible Bidding Ordinance No. 10594-18 (hereinafter, "Responsible Bidding Ordinance")
for a period of twelve (12) months.
Thereafter, contractors who are pre -qualified must submit a complete application for continuation of "pre -
qualified" standing, on a form provided by the City ("Responsible Bidder Checklist (1) Pre -Qualified
Bidders") by December 31s� for the upcoming calendar year, or within twelve (12) months of obtaining pre -
qualified standing. If the status of any item changes within the twelve (12) months, it is the responsibility of
the contractor to notify the City. Failure by any pre -qualified contractor to submit its complete application
for continuation of "pre -qualified" standing within the time prescribed above shall result in automatic removal
of the designation, effective January 1 of the following year, or immediately following the twelve (12) months
of pre -qualified standing.
However, the "removed" contractor or subcontractor shall still be permitted to bid on City public works
projects, though the contractor must submit all required documents under 6-63 until "pre -qualified" status
is re-established.
Please Note: The City reserves the right to request supplemental information from the bidder,
additional verification of any information provided by the bidder, and may also conduct random
inquiries of the bidder's current and previous customers regardless of pre -qualified standing.
It is the sole responsibility of the potential bidder to comply with all submission requirements applicable to
the bidder in Section 6-63 of the Responsible Bidding Ordinance no later than the date of the public bid
opening.
Version 7/20/2018 General Conditions - 6
POST BID SUBMISSIONS:
Post -bid submissions must be submitted in accordance with Section 6-64 of the Responsible Bidding
Ordinance. The post -bid submission requirements are as follows:
1. All bidders shall collect, maintain, and provide upon request, a current written list that discloses the
name, address, licensing status, and type of work for any subcontractor from whom the bidder has
accepted a bid and/or intends to hire on any part of the public work project, including individuals
performing work as independent contractors.
2. Each subcontractor, whose portion of the project is estimated to be at least one -hundred fifty
thousand dollars ($150,000.00), shall be required to adhere to the requirements of Section I of the
Responsible Bidder Ordinance as though it were bidding directly to the City, except that the
subcontractor shall submit the required information (including the name, address, and type of work)
to the successful bidder prior to the commencement of work.
3. Failure of a subcontractor to submit the required information shall not disqualify the successful
bidder from performing work on the project and shall not constitute a contractual default and/or
breach by the successful bidder. However, the City may withhold all payment otherwise due for
work performed by a subcontractor, until the subcontractor submits the required information and
the City approves such information.
4. The disclosure of a subcontractor list ("Disclosed Subcontractor(s)") to the City by a bidder shall
not create any rights in the Disclosed Subcontractor(s). Thus, a bidder may substitute another
subcontractor for a Disclosed Subcontractor by giving the City, upon request, written notice of the
name, address, licensing status, and type of work of the substitute subcontractor.
5. The successful bidder and all subcontractors on a public works project are required to submit
certified payroll utilizing the federal form known as WH-347 or a similar form on a bi-weekly basis,
Submitted within 10 days after the end of each bi-weekly payroll period. Certified payrolls shall
identify the job title and craft for each employee. Certified payrolls shall be submitted
electronically.
Please Note: Submissions deemed inadequate, incomplete, or untimely by the City may result in
the automatic disqualification of the bid.
The City, after review of complete and timely submissions, shall, in its sole discretion, after taking into
account all information in the submission requirements, determine whether a bidder is responsive and
responsible, and provide a Pre -Qualification Verification Letter. The City specifically reserves the right to
utilize all information provided in the contractor's submission and any information obtained by the City
through its own independent verification of the information provided by the contractor.

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.

glue, nitrous oxide, aerosols, or other substances identified under Section
1.1 of this policy.

post offer physical process.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Testing Reasons for "Pests 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.
Page 17
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.I I 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.

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 (I,AP):
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.

CONFIDENTIAL
APPLICANT/CO-WORKER CONSENT FORM - ILLEGAL DRUGS, ALCOHOL,
CONTRABAND AND UNAUTHORIZED ITEMS
In order to assist in maintaining a safe working environment for co-workers, as an enforcement
measure in providing a safe, healthy, productive work environment and to maintain the integrity
and security of Company facilities and property, High, has established a Policy No. 2-662
(hereinafter referred to as "the Policy") regarding drugs/alcohol use and/or abuse, on any High,
affiliated or subsidiary, premises, property, facilities, installations, work locations, work areas,
vehicles, equipment, boats or aircrafts (whether owned, leased or used).
I understand that the Company may implement the Policy by such reasonable means as the
Company may from time to time determine appropriate, including searches and inspection of
personal effects and drug/alcohol testing, of any person according to the guidelines in the Policy.
Co-workers who either decline to be searched, decline to submit to drug/alcohol tests, as required
in the Policy, or who otherwise are found in violation of the Policy, will be subject to suspension
with intent to discharge from employment.
Prospective co-workers who refuse to submit to drug/alcohol testing as part of or separate from a
post offer examination, or who are otherwise found to be in violation of Policy No. 2-662, will
be disqualified for further employment consideration.
I understand a documented chain of specimen custody exists to ensure the identity and integrity
of my specimens throughout this collection and testing process.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
I have read and understand the Policy, and agree to abide by all of its requirements, including
drug/alcohol testing. I accept the conditions of the Policy and consent to the requirements
thereof and hereby release and hold harmless High, its affiliated companies, partnerships and
subsidiaries, owners, and their co-workers, directors, and officers from any liability whatsoever
arising from the enforcement of this Policy.

NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE CO-WORKERS
A Post -Offer Physical is a requirement for some positions with High companies. One of the
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
a safe, healthy, productive working environment. Certain business units within the
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
High. I consent freely and voluntarily to the Company's request for necessary specimens. I
hereby release and hold harmless, the Company, its owners, co-workers, agents, directors and
officers from any liability whatsoever arisingfrom 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.

Non -disclosure Agreement
This Agreement is made and entered into this _ day of 2018 by and between High Industries
Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "High"), and (hereinafter referred to as "X"). High and X are
sometimes hereinafter individually referred to as "party" and collectively referred to as "parties".
X is evaluating the financial condition of High as a subcontractor (hereinafter referred to as "the
Discussions"). For the Discussions to be successful, X has requested that High provide certain financial
information which High considers to be Proprietary Information (as that term is used below). High is willing
to release the information to X on the condition that the Proprietary Information remain confidential and only
be used as described herein.
In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties
agree as set forth following:
All financial information (including without limitation financial statements, analysis, etc.)
disclosed or furnished by High to X shall be deemed Proprietary Information. X agrees that it
