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,
or privileges of employment, or any matter directly or indirectly related to employment because of race, sex,
religion, color, national origin, ancestry, age, gender expression, gender identity, sexual orientation or
disability that does not affect that person's ability to perform the work.
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

CONTRACTOR’S BID FOR PUBLIC WORK
RESPONSIBLE BIDDER CHECKLIST
Project Name 3400 Block S. Michigan Street Improvements
Project No. 120-062
For Bids Due February 23, 2021
Contractor Name:
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 31st 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.
LaPorte Construction Co., Inc.
Version 5/16/2019 General Conditions - 7
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.

Company Employee Drug-Free Workplace Policy
Pursuant to regulations promulgated by the State of Indiana, Executive Order number 90-5, dated April 12, 1990, LaPorte

Drug-Free Workplace Policy; (3) an Employees Assistance Program (EAP Program); and (4) the penalties which may be
imposed upon any employee for drug abuse violations occurring in the workplace.
It is the policy of LaPorte Construction Co., Inc. that its employees should be free of substance abuse while on the jobsite
at all times. Consequently, the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession or use of a controlled
substance by employees in the Company’s workplace is prohibited. The overall goal is to insure a drug-free workplace
and to reduce accidents, injuries and fatalities.
Employees shall be notified upon hiring, rehiring or returning to active employment status, that as a condition of continued
employment, the employee will (1) abide by the terms and conditions of the Drug-Free Workplace Policy; (2) notify the
Company of any criminal drug statute conviction for a violation occurring in the workplace no later than five (5) days after
such conviction.
LaPorte Construction Co., Inc. shall notify in writing the contracting State Agency and the Indiana Department of
Administration within (10) days after receiving notice from an employee, as outlined in (2) above, or otherwise receiving
actual notice of such conviction.
LaPorte Construction Co., Inc. shall within thirty (30) days after receiving notice of such employee conviction, impose the
following sanctions or remedial measures on any employee who is convicted of drug abuse violations in the workplace; (1)
take appropriate personnel action against the employee, up to and including termination; or (2) require such employee to
Satisfactorily participate in a drug abuse assistance or rehabilitation program approved for such purposes by a Federal,
State or Local health, law enforcement or other appropriate agency.
Prospective employees and employee rehires may be tested for substance abuse. Following an extended period of

requiring medical treatment; or an employee involved in an on-the-job injury whose performance or behavior gives
reasonable cause to believe that he or she may be in violation of this Policy, will be tested for substance abuse. If the
employee tests positive (for illegal drug abuse), the employee will be discharged. If the employee refuses the testing, the
refusal may be deemed an admission and the employee will be discharged.
If an employee has tested positive for substance abuse, either post accident or with regards to job specific pre -
employment testing, the employee may reapply for employment with LaPorte Construction Co., Inc. after ninety (90) days
provided he/she passes approved clinical testing. The testing will be conducted at the employee’s expense.
