Subcontracting Report Item Names of six subcontractors have been submitted for approval to date with an additional three pending. Of these, four are Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs). The DBE contract goal was $40,000. The subcontractor approvals submitted far exceed these contract goals. Appendix F: Examples of Reporting Practices CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM MANAGEMENT AND INSPECTION GUIDE (5/01/04) Comments It is important to keep track of subcontracting and compliance with DBE subcontracting goals. Labor Compliance and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Performance Report Items A check on labor compliance (payroll data) showed compliance with contract provisions. It was found that in some cases the “Project Site Labor and EEO Standards Interview Forms” were not completely filled out or contained information that did not correlate with the payrolls. In some cases the dates, the contractor’s name, or the interviewer’s name was not included on the form. In other cases the employee’s job title or pay rate did not match that listed on the payrolls. It is recommended that training or guidance on conducting the job site interviews be issued to the field personnel responsible for the interviews. It was reported that DBE participation on this project has been satisfactory. Contract DBE goal was 8 percent of the total contract amount. This goal has been met as follows: (A list followed of firm name, bid item, amount, and percentage of total contract.) This inspection included reviewing various DBE project records. During this review it was found that some of the DBE’s employees were on the prime contractor’s payroll. A meeting has been set up at State headquarters to discuss this matter with civil rights personnel. Comments While most labor compliance responsibilities have been turned over to the State, occasional checks are appropriate. It is important to keep track of labor interviews as they are a critical portion of labor compliance verification. We need to know if there is appropriate DBE participation on projects. Where direct observation is not possible, we need to rely on feedback from project personnel. Specifics on how goals are being met should be reported. Desirably, the inspecting engineer should report DBEs actually on the job, performing a commercially useful function, and supervising the work being done. The inspecting engineer should not only report on goals and attainment but also from time to time review office records regarding DBE operations. In this case, when determining whether a DBE is an independent business, records documenting personnel actions, ownership of equipment, etc., should be scrutinized. A finding such as this one is significant and may affect a firm’s eligibility. A followup meeting with appropriate STA staff is a “good call.” F–9
F–10 Appendix F: Examples of Reporting Practices CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM MANAGEMENT AND INSPECTION GUIDE (5/01/04) Safety and Handling of Traffic Report Item It was reported that the approved traffic control plans (TCPs) had been working in a satisfactory manner on this project. Some deficiencies in construction signing (mainly drums and barricades) were noted. The construction traffic control was observed carefully throughout the length of the project and found to be exceptionally good. There have been several reviews on the traffic control by the State’s traffic section during the life of the project. From these reports, the traffic control used appeared to have improved since our previous inspection. The detour was well marked for two-directional traffic. Striping was very visible, and the numerous reflector buttons indicate that visibility at night is probably very good also. Barrels and candle delineators were up, as appropriate, through the entire length of the project and appeared to be in very good condition. All flag persons were properly equipped with hard hats and orange vests, and appeared to understand proper flagging procedures. During a field review, it was noted that a piece of heavy equipment was parked in the median area. This hazard was brought to the attention of the inspectors, and steps were taken immediately to have the contractor move the equipment The detour appears to be operating in a satisfactory manner. The project engineer indicated he had made a night inspection of the detour to insure that nighttime operation was satisfactory. Several minor adjustments were made as a result of this nighttime inspection. Comments Reports from project personnel are of value, but it was surprising that this comment was not reinforced by personal observation. The citation of deficiencies should be as specific as possible. Was the problem in reflectivity, placement, or some other aspect? This comment reflects a detailed review of the situations. Commenting on the State’s management as well as observed conditions is of value. The inspecting engineer has provided information to support the conclusion that the use, location, and maintenance of traffic control devices are all being adequately handled. In this instance, it is apparent that all aspects of the flagging operation had been evaluated; however, if the flag person’s operations were observed, the area engineer should report that the flag person demonstrated an understanding and use of proper techniques. The comment made here reflects an awareness of unsafe conditions and shows a product of the inspection effort. Good coverage of the item being reviewed is provided by combining firsthand observation with reports of those items that could not be reviewed during the inspection.
