CITY COUNCIL MEMO
2026-487
MEETING OF MARCH 17, 2026
TO: Mayor Rawn and City Council
THROUGH: Terry Gulley, Asst Public Works Director - Ops
Chris Brown, Public Works Director
Keith Macedo, Chief of Staff
FROM: Jared Rabren, Airport Director
SUBJECT: Drake Field - Garver LLC Master Agreement & Task Order 01
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff requests review and signature of a Master Agreement for Professional Services (MSA) with Garver, LLC
to provide on-call aviation engineering services, pursuant to RFQ 25-26, for a one-year term with four
automatic one-year renewals, and review and signature of Task Order 01 for on-call services by the consultant
not to exceed $20,000 per annum.
BACKGROUND:
In order to qualify for Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grants, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
requires airports to contract with an airport engineering consultant for engineering services related to these
federally funded projects. Specific projects assigned to the engineer are issued as Task Orders to be approved
individually, contingent upon available funding and budget approval.
DISCUSSION:
The Purchasing Division advertised a Request for Statement of Qualifications for RFQ 25-26. Garver was
selected as the most qualified engineering firm and entered into contract negotiations shortly thereafter.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
The MSA has no budget impact. Task Order 01 commits up to $20,000 per annum from the Airport Fund
Balance that may be reimbursable by grants as project formulation costs if they are part of an approved, grant-
funded project.

Agreement, subject to any express limitations or reservations applicable to the furnished
items as further set forth in the applicable Work Order.

6.1. Standards of Performance.
6.1.1. Industry Practice. Garver shall perform any and all Services required herein in
accordance with generally accepted practices and standards employed by the applicable
United States professional services industries as of the Effective Date practicing under
similar conditions and locale. Such generally accepted practices and standards are not
intended to be limited to the optimum practices, methods, techniques, or standards to the
exclusion of all others, but rather to a spectrum of reasonable and prudent practices
employed by the United States professional services industry.
6.1.2. Owner shall not be responsible for discovering deficiencies in the technical accuracy of
Garver’s services. Garver shall promptly correct deficiencies in technical accuracy
without the need for an Amendment unless such corrective action is directly attributable
to deficiencies in Owner-furnished information.
6.1.3. On -site Services. Garver and its representatives shall comply with Owner’s and its
separate contractor’s project specific safety programs, which have been provided to
Garver in writing in advance of any site visits.
6.1.4. Relied Upon Information: Garver may use or rely upon design elements and information
ordinarily or customarily furnished by others including, but not limited to, specialty
contractors, manufacturers, suppliers, and the publishers of technical standards.
6.1.5. Aside from Garver’s direct subconsultants, Garver shall not at any time supervise, direct,
control, or have authority over any contractor’s work, nor shall Garver have authority over
or be responsible for the means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of
construction selected or used by any such contractor, or the safety precautions and
programs incident thereto, for security or safety at the project site, nor for any failure of a
contractor to comply with laws and regulations applicable to that contractor’s services.
Garver shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of any contractor for whom it
Master Agreement for Professional Services
FYV EOR 2026-2030
4 of 10 Version 2
Garver Project No. 2501881
does not have a direct contract. Garver neither guarantees the performance of any
contractor nor assumes responsibility for any contractor’s failure to furnish and perform
its work in accordance with the construction contract documents applicable to the
contractor’s work, even when Garver is performing construction phase services.
6.1.6. Garver is not required to provide and does not have any responsibility for surety bonding
or insurance-related advice, recommendations, counseling, research, or enforcement of
construction insurance or surety bonding requirements. Garver’s Services expressly do
not include providing advice pertaining to insurance, legal, finance, surety-bonding, or
similar services. In no event is Garver acting as a “municipal advisor” as set forth in the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (2010) or the municipal
advisor registration rules issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
6.2. Instruments of Service.
6.2.1. Deliverables. All reports, specifications, record drawings, models, data, and all other
information provided by Garver or its subconsultants, which is required to be delivered to
Owner under the applicable Work Order (the “Deliverables”), shall become the property
of Owner subject to the terms and conditions stated herein.
6.2.2. Electronic Media. Owner hereby agrees that all electronic media, including CADD files
(“Electronic Media”), are tools used solely for the preparation of the Deliverables. Upon
Owner’s written request, Garver will furnish to Owner copies of Electronic Media to the
extent included as part of the Services. In the event of an inconsistency or conflict in the
content between the Deliverables and the Electronic Media, however, the Deliverables
shall take precedence in all respects. Electronic Media is furnished without guarantee of
compatibility with the Owner's software or hardware. Because Electronic Media can be
altered, either intentionally or unintentionally, by transcription, machine error,
environmental factors, or by operators, it is agreed that, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, Owner shall indemnify and hold Garver, Garver's subconsultants, and
their Personnel harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses,
and costs, including, but not limited to, costs of defense arising out of changes or
modifications to the Electronic Media form in Owner's possession or released to others
by Owner. Garver's sole responsibility and liability for Electronic Media is to furnish a
replacement for any non-functioning Electronic Media for reasons solely attributable to
Garver within thirty (30) days after delivery to Owner.
6.2.3. Property Rights. All property rights of a Party, including copyright, patent, and reuse
(“Intellectual Property”), shall remain the Intellectual Property of that Party. Garver shall
obtain all necessary Intellectual Property from any necessary third parties in order to
execute the Services. Any Intellectual Property of Garver or any third party embedded in
the Deliverables shall remain so embedded and may not be separated therefrom.
6.2.4. Third Party Terms and Conditions. Owner and its separate consultant(s) and/or
contractor(s) shall abide by applicable third-party terms and conditions in the use of
Deliverables and Intellectual Property, which may include gateways, links or other
functionality that allows Owner to access third-party services, content, and material.
Garver does not supply and is not responsible for any third-party services, content, or
material, which may be subject to their own license, end-user agreements, privacy and
security policies and terms of use. ALL THIRD-PARTY SERVICES, CONTENT, AND
MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES
OF ANY KIND FROM GARVER AND GARVER MAKES NO OTHER
Master Agreement for Professional Services
FYV EOR 2026-2030
5 of 10 Version 2
Garver Project No. 2501881
REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS,
IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. GARVER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF ANY COURSE OF
PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING, OR USAGE OF TRADE. SUBJECT TO
THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, GARVER DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE
THIRD-PARTY SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT
THE CONTENT WILL BE SECURE BEYOND ANY POSSIBLE THREAT.
6.2.5. THIR D-PARTY CLAIMS FOR INFRINGEMENT. Should Deliverables become, or be
likely to become in Garver’s reasonable opinion, the subject of any claim that infringes,
violates, or constitutes a wrongful use of intellectual property rights, Garver will, at its sole
option: (i) procure for Owner the necessary rights to continue to use the infringing
material, or (ii) replace or modify the potentially infringing material to make them non-
infringing, but functionally equivalent. If Garver determines that none of these options are
reasonably available, then Garver may refund any prepaid and unused fees.
6.2.5.1. Exclusions. Garver has no obligation to the extent a claim arises from: Garver’s
compliance with Owner’s specifications; a combination of the Services with other
technology or aspects where the infringement would not occur but for the
combination; Owner data; or technology or aspects not provided by Garver. THIS
SECTION CONTAINS CLIENT’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AND GARVER’S
SOLE LIABILITY FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT.
6.2.6. License. Upon Owner fulfilling its payment obligations under this Agreement, Garver
hereby grants Owner a license to use the Intellectual Property, but only in the operation
and maintenance of the project for which it was provided. Use of such Intellectual
Property for modification, extension, or expansion of the project or on any other project,
unless under the direction of Garver, shall be without liability to Garver and Garver's
subconsultants.
6.2.7. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, Garver may utilize Deliverables, Electronic
Media and Intellectual Property in third-party technology products for generative AI
queries and other legitimate corporate purposes.
6.3. Opinions of Cost.
6.3.1. Since Garver has no control over: (i) the cost of labor, materials, equipment, or services
furnished by others; (ii) the contractor or its subcontractor(s)' methods of determining
prices; (iii) competitive bidding; (iv) market conditions; or (v) similar material factors,
Garver’s opinions of project costs or construction costs provided pursuant to the
applicable Work Order, if any, are to be made on the basis of Garver’s experience and
qualifications and represent Garver’s reasonable judgment as an experienced and
qualified professional engineering firm, familiar with the construction industry. Garver
cannot and does not guarantee that proposals, bids, or actual project or construction
costs will not vary from estimates prepared by Garver.
6.3.2. Owner understands that the construction cost estimates developed by Garver do not
establish a limit for the construction contract amount. If the actual amount of the low
construction bid or resulting construction contract exceeds the construction budget
established by Owner, Garver will not be required to re-design the Services without
additional compensation. In the event Owner requires greater assurances as to probable
construction cost, then Owner agrees to obtain an independent cost estimate.
Master Agreement for Professional Services
FYV EOR 2026-2030
6 of 10 Version 2
Garver Project No. 2501881
6.4. Underground Utilities. Except to the extent expressly included as part of the Services, Garver
will not provide research regarding utilities or survey utilities located and marked by their
owners. Furthermore, since many utility companies typically will not locate and mark their
underground facilities prior to notice of excavation, Garver is not responsible for knowing
whether underground utilities are present or knowing the exact location of such utilities for
design and cost estimating purposes. In no event is Garver responsible for damage to
underground utilities, unmarked or improperly marked, caused by geotechnical conditions,
potholing, construction, or other contractors or subcontractors working under a subcontract to
this Agreement.
6.5. Design without Construction Phase Services.
6.5.1. Garver shall be responsible only for those construction phase Services expressly set
forth in a Work Order, if any. With the exception of such expressly required Services,
Garver shall have no responsibility or liability for any additional construction phase
services, including review and approval of payment applications, design, shop drawing
review, or other obligations during construction. Owner assumes all responsibility for
interpretation of the construction contract documents and for construction observation
and supervision and waives any claims against Garver that may be in any way connected
thereto.
6.5.2. If the Owner requests in writing that Garver provide any specific construction phase
services or assistance with resolving disputes or other subcontractor related issues, and
if Garver agrees to provide such services, then Garver shall be compensated for the work
as an Amendment in accordance with Sections 4 and 10.2.
6.6. Hazardous Materials. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed or interpreted as requiring
Garver to assume any role in the identification, evaluation, treatment, storage, disposal, or
transportation of any Hazardous Materials.
6.7. Confidentiality. Owner and Garver shall consider: (i) all information provided by the other Party
that is marked as “Confidential Information” or “Proprietary Information” or identified as
confidential pursuant to this Section 6.7 in writing promptly after being disclosed verbally; and
(ii)all documents resulting from Garver’s performance of Services to be Confidential
Information. Except as legally required, Confidential Information shall not be discussed with
or transmitted to any third parties, except on a “need to know basis” with equal or greater
confidentiality protection or written consent of the disclosing Party. Confidential Information
shall not include and nothing herein shall limit either Party’s right to disclose any information
provided hereunder which: (i) was or becomes generally available to the public, other than as
a result of a disclosure by the receiving Party or its Personnel; (ii) was or becomes available
to the receiving Party or its representatives on a non-confidential basis, provided that the
source of the information is not bound by a confidentiality agreement or otherwise prohibited
from transmitting such information by a contractual, legal, or fiduciary duty; (iii) was
independently developed by the receiving Party without the use of any Confidential Information
of the disclosing Party; or (iv) is required to be disclosed by applicable law or a court order.
All confidentiality obligations hereunder shall expire three (3) years after completion of the
Services.

operation, increased cost of construction, cost of capital, cost of replacement power or
customer claims, and Owner hereby releases Garver, and Garver releases Owner, from
any such liability.
9.2.3. Limitation. In recognition of the relative risks and benefits of the Work Order to both the
Owner and Garver, the total aggregate liability of Garver and its Personnel arising out of
or relating to this Agreement or the Services shall be limited as follows: (i) for Damages
to the extent covered by the insurance Garver is required to maintain under this
Agreement, Garver’s liability shall not exceed the applicable required policy limits set

indemnity, error and omission, or any other cause whatsoever.

thereof shall be resolved in accordance with the following:

may, at the request of either Party, be referred to the senior management of each Party.
If the senior management of the Parties cannot resolve the Dispute within thirty (30)
days after such request for referral, then either Party may request mediation. If both
Parties agree to mediation, it shall be scheduled at a mutually agreeable time and place
with a mediator agreed to by the Parties. Should mediation fail, should either Party
refuse to participate in mediation, or should the scheduling of mediation be impractical,
either Party may file for arbitration in lieu of litigation.
10.1.2. The Owner does not waive its right to trial by jury. Venue for all legal disputes shall
be Washington County, Arkansas.

be amended in writing by both Owner and Garver to account for the additional services and
resulting cost in accordance with Section 4.

aspects of airport planning and design. You can trust
that your goals will be our priority, resulting in an
achievable plan that matches your needs now and well
into the future.
Airport Master Planning
Planning work serves as the blueprint for future
construction of the airport’s physical facilities, ranging
from runway improvements to hangar development.
The Airport Master Plan enables this development
by providing specific justification through forecasts
of aviation demands, identifying needed facilities,
and specifying project costs along with appropriate
funding sources. Proper planning determines what
airport facilities will be needed, how to finance the
development, and when to construct the proposed
projects. An Airport Master Plan also provides a high-
level review of potential future environmental impacts,
guides each phase of airport development, and serves
as a justification document to the FAA to keep the
federal funds flowing.
Electrical
Garver’s aviation electrical staff includes 23 dedicated
electrical engineers specializing in design and
production of complete airside and landside project
assignments. Garver’s experience in electrical designs
includes incandescent and LED runway and taxiway
edge lighting, centerline lighting, touchdown zone
lighting, specific lighting for surface movement guidance
during low-visibility conditions, and various navigational
aid systems. Our lighting systems utilize technology
such as LED fixtures and guidance signs to reduce
maintenance and operating costs.
Hangars
Garver has completed numerous hangar projects with
access taxiways and aprons, as well as T-hangar farms
for general aviation aircraft. From site preparation
and bidding to drainage and grading, Garver has

SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE AND TECHNICAL COMPETENCE
experience with every aspect of hangar construction
and understands how to execute a hangar design that
meets all building and fire code requirements while
accommodating the airport and stakeholder needs.
Our unique approach includes issuing a performance
specification for the hangars that outlines the general,
owner-specific characteristics required for the facility
(door widths and type, code requirements, number
of bays, utility services required, etc.) and requires
contractors to meet and certify their submittals at bid
openings and during construction. This method allows
contractors to erect proven, repeatable structures,
save costs for the owner, and provides the airport with
high-performance hangars at low cost and liability. Our
plans include a very detailed layout of electrical systems,
including interior and exterior lighting fixtures and
switches, power outlets, and door operators. We have
also incorporated surveillance systems into some of our
recent projects to provide an added layer of protection
to your investment.
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Facility
Representing only a fraction of FAA-funded airport
projects, ARFF facilities—and the experts who design
them—are not necessarily common. However, we
have assembled a proven team with notable ARFF
facility design experience. The Garver Team’s wealth
of knowledge and lessons learned from previous ARFF
facility projects will help avoid delays and make sure
that the facility meets the needs of firefighters and
emergency responders. We understand that these
facilities need to be highly functional, versatile, and safe
while still comfortable for personnel.
We have worked with architectural firms and other
subconsultants to design new ARFF buildings. Our
designs include multiple-vehicle bays, automatic truck
exhaust vacuum systems, overhead water supply,
personnel quarters, communication systems, and
training rooms. We have also completed Part 139
Airport Certification Manuals that include an ARFF
Index detailing equipment and agents used, hazardous
materials storage and handling procedures, airport
emergency plan, and training curriculum. Garver staff
also coordinates specifications, advertising, and the
bidding process for airport equipment, including fire-
fighting vehicles, to meet AIP guidelines. In addition, our
aviation planning team has provided services for site
selection, feasibility, and overall operation/functionality
of ARFF stations.
Apron Rehabilitation
Garver has designed and managed the construction
and rehabilitation of aircraft parking aprons for general
aviation facilities. When designing or improving apron
pavements, we also examine drainage patterns and
future hangar pads, considering the whole airport in
order to enhance future development and prevent
problems. Garver also has experience installing airport
tie downs, an economical and easy way to park aircraft.
Our range of expertise includes new construction,
complete reconstruction, selected slab replacement and
joint rehabilitation, and surface treatments. We have
designed new pavement sections and rehabilitated
concrete and asphalt aircraft parking aprons. For
rehabilitation projects, we provide critical consideration
during design and phasing to allow continuous access
to the terminal and/or hangars during construction in
select areas.

Taxiway Improvements
Garver has been performing aviation engineering—
including taxiway and runway design—for over
66 years. Our taxiway experience includes projects of
varying complexities at airports of all sizes, including
new construction, extension, widening, strengthening,
and rehabilitation for air carrier, general aviation, and
military facilities. Projects have included straightforward
mill and overlay rehabilitation; full-depth reconstruction
of both asphalt and concrete pavements; crack and
joint repair; and new construction including the design
of taxiway alignments and intersections. Our designers
and project managers continually update their practices
to incorporate both the latest FAA standards and
Garver’s experience on taxiway projects across the
nation to provide creative solutions that meet updated
safety requirements.
Runway Extension
We are experienced in the full process of runway
extension projects, from initial conception and
runway extension justification study to design and
through construction closeout. Garver has recent
experience extending runways at Fort Smith Regional
Airport, Monroe Regional Airport, and McKinney
National Airport, among others, and we bring this
proven experience to FYV. Our staff is familiar with
the FAA and state requirements that must be met to
secure and maintain regulatory approval for runway
extensions. Additionally, we know that project phasing
is crucial and will collaborate with you and key tenants
to create a phasing plan that minimizes impact on
aviation operations.
Construction Administration
The Garver Team has experience providing construction
administration services on complex projects at similar-
size airports, including tracking project construction
records, attending construction meetings, performing
periodic inspections, preparing monthly pay requests,
approving test reports, and completing final inspection.
Garver has also successfully implemented a SharePoint
website for similar projects that allow the owner and
program manager to access project documents through
a secure network and to stay informed of approved
submittals, RFIs, current quantities, daily reports, and
project costs.
When approaching large-scale projects that will impact
an entire airfield, Garver pays special attention to a
project’s phasing to reduce how much the project
impacts airport activities. From sequencing projects,
minimizing community disruptions, and solving the
inevitable construction problems, our field staff is
committed to establishing good working relationships
with our clients and contractors.

CAPACITY AND CAPABILITY
Knowledge of FAA Regulations, Policies,
and Procedures
Garver’s experience with the FAA dates
back over 60 years, when it still operated
as the Civil Aeronautics Administration. The
success of our airport projects has been dependent
on understanding and properly applying current
program guidance. The outline on this page shows
the typical progression of project tasks within AIP
funded engineering and construction projects based
on program guidance referenced in the FAA Southwest
Region Sponsor Guide. This encompasses the concept/
preliminary stages through close-out, including:
Feasibility studies
Benefit/cost analysis
Preliminary and final design
Contract award
Construction oversight and administration
Grant closeout
Master planning
Environmental handling
Garver also has a thorough knowledge of the FAA
Advisory Circulars (AC) for planning, design, and
construction of airports. Garver’s staff has taught
seminars on Advisory Circulars (ACs) at the FAA
Partnership Conference, and our aviation electrical team
has worked directly with the FAA on airfield lighting AC
drafts. This familiarity with FAA requirements helps our
designs, construction phasing, and safety plans meet
all applicable standards and keeps our projects on
schedule by gaining acceptance from the FAA quickly.
FAA Funding Experience
Garver provides consulting services to help you locate
the funding sources to meet your needs and achieve
your airport goals. The key to Garver’s successful record
in funding assistance is planning: approaching the
FAA with a well-prepared, comprehensive project plan
means the battle is largely won.

14RFQ 25–26: Aviation Engineering Services
CAPACITY AND CAPABILITY
Pre-Project Planning
Prior to kicking off any project, the Garver Team will
evaluate all preliminary work related to the project
and will follow up with a site visit to assess the
existing conditions. Once complete, we will meet with
the appropriate FYV project contact to discuss and
ultimately agree upon a project scope that captures all
elements of the project, a schedule that meets FYV’s
timeline expectations, and a budget that is satisfactory
to both parties. Garver places great importance on this
step, as it sets the stage for project success and allows
us to tailor our efforts to meet FYV’s goals.
Design
Design starts with a kick-off meeting, which will be
instrumental in moving the project forward with clear
direction and purpose. Garver will prepare for, schedule,
and meet with the appropriate stakeholders to discuss
the project requirements, establish clear lines of
communication, and review processes and deliverables.
From there, we will coordinate field investigations
with operations staff to minimize or otherwise avoid
operational impacts. We will then deliver 30%, 60%,
90%, 100%, and issue for bid (IFB) documents in
accordance with executed scope. The Garver Team
will work closely with staff throughout to deliver
designs that consider FAA compliance, sustainability,
functionality, future maintenance, efficiency, and cost-
saving measures for each element in the scope of work.
Our plans will include layouts and details that clearly
show the intent of design, as well as FAA-compliant
construction safety and phasing plans (CSPP), technical
specifications, opinions of probable cost, and any other
FAA submissions.
Construction Administration
Once construction starts, our team members will
transition to a construction administration (CA) role
where we will assist FYV with this vital part of the
project. From shop drawing reviews to RFIs to schedule
adherence, we will be there to help the project get
across the finish line. To efficiently support FYV during
this phase, the Garver Team intends to utilize qualified
members of the project’s design team in the CA role. We
have found that this continuity of staff from design to
construction greatly helps to set us up for success.
Project Closeout
At Garver, we know that project closeout cannot be an
afterthought. Garver has developed a project closeout
checklist to confirm that all required documentation has
been received and that all contracted and regulatory
parties participate in pre-final and final inspections.
Importantly, we understand that there can be issues
with the constructed project elements after final
completion, but within the contractor’s warranty period.
At FYV’s discretion for each project, the Garver Team is
prepared to perform a walk-through towards the end
of the contractor warranty period to protect the airport
from the maintenance responsibility on a deficient
element that is the contractor’s responsibility.

GARVER’S PROJECT APPROACH
Project Implementation Approach
Based on our prior experience at FYV, we understand what it takes to deliver a project that meets the expectations
of your team and your stakeholders. In this section, we detail our approach to each of these project delivery phases,
focusing on Garver’s unique method of providing added value to meet your project objectives. Our approach
to delivering a project can be broken down into four main stages: pre-project planning, design, construction
management, project closeout.
15RFQ 25–26: Aviation Engineering Services
CAPACITY AND CAPABILITY
Garver’s Approach to Quality Control
Although quality control
procedures are a standard service
offered by most consultants,
Garver is committed to exceeding
industry standards with our Total
Quality Management (TQM)
system. This comprehensive
approach to quality control
and quality assurance aligns
project managers, design teams,
and subconsultants into one
unified effort of continuous
quality improvement, resulting
in better performance, reduced
costs, improved planning and
communication, increased
efficiency, and reduced risk.
One of the reasons we use the
term “Total Quality Management”
is because it emphasizes that
quality isn’t something that just
happens—it is a process that
needs to be managed. Just like we
manage design and construction
processes for airport improvement
projects, our team manages the
quality control process to make
sure that it is achieving its goals.
Goals of Total
Quality Management:
Improved design
Ensured compliance
Reduced waste
Decreased cost
Enhanced client satisfaction
Ultimate project success
Total QualityManagement
What is Total Quality Management?
At its core, TQM is a structured system of documenting processes,
procedures, and responsibilities that enables Garver and our
subconsultants to integrate operations seamlessly and consistently and
to deliver quality projects for our clients.
This proven system provides a framework and guidance for our project
managers to plan work for both internal and external team members,
monitor progress, identify potential problems, and take preventative
action. TQM expands on traditional quality control programs by adding
more thorough quality assurance and auditing, interdisciplinary review,
specific subconsultant involvement, and integrated learning programs
to the traditional standards and requirements that typically characterize
most QA/QC processes.
Garver’s Total Quality Management system includes six key
components, which are integrated into one holistic approach to quality,
as shown in the graphic below.
Comparison Charts
Our experience has taught us
that dedicated quality control
measures are some of the most
essential services that we off er for
our airport clients. Garver’s Total
Quality Management system is
more than a set of policies and
procedures that our clients could
receive from any consultant. It’s
an integrated system of organized
and interrelated activities that
help assure design quality,
stakeholder involvement, and
client satisfaction.

Project Management Plan
Before design begins, your Project Manager and Quality
Manager will develop a Project Management Plan that
will guide quality control tasks throughout the duration
of the project. The primary goal of this plan is to
introduce the entire team (including subconsultants) to
the standards, procedures, and lines of communication
for the project. The Project Management Plan includes
critical success factors, design checklists, schedule
milestones, and the design team’s acknowledgement
of understanding. Garver’s Project Management Plan
requires each firm that’s part of our team to sign off on
the document before they proceed with the project.
How Garver Implements TQM
Garver’s Total Quality Management approach is founded on communication among our clients, project managers,
subconsultants and key stakeholders, and it doesn’t just happen once—TQM means that Garver implements quality
control/quality assurance measures throughout the life of a project from kickoff to completion. The figure below

Garver is working with the airport to develop an Airport Master Plan with the
primary goals of 1) identifying the actual developable envelope on and near airport
property, and 2) identifying the highest and best use of the limited developable
land. To accomplish these goals, the master plan includes a comprehensive
hydrological analysis to accurately delineate wetlands on and near the airport. This
will establish what the actual developable limits will be for airport development.
Concurrently, the master plan also involves engaging heavily with local and regional
stakeholders to identify what the existing and potential uses of the airport could
include. This includes a thorough vetting of the based aircraft waitlist. In doing so,
we will be able to optimize the limited developable space to make sure that the
development will support based aircraft most able to generate sustainable revenue
and balance community goals for Drake Field Airport.
In October 2020, the FAA notified the City of Fayetteville that additional federal
funds were available to cover 100% of the project costs if design and construction
were completed in a single fiscal year. The project’s schedule and closures were
developed so the airport would remain open during high traffic volume periods.
Garver created a detailed phasing plan that enabled multiple construction activities
to occur simultaneously while minimizing downtimes. All runway paving work was
completed during a 16-day closure that extended over three weekends and two full
work weeks. This arrangement caused the least interruption to airport operations.
Garver and the construction team delivered the project within the FAA-mandated
timeline so that the airport could receive discretionary funding for the project. The
project was scheduled for and completed construction on August 8, 2022. Garver
also secured additional funding for the airport to include necessary drainage
improvements in the project scope.

Garver led this project to construct approximately 1,367 linear feet of water line
with associated hydrants and fittings to aid in the provision of potable water service
and fire flow capacity for future hangar development in the area adjacent to the
existing T-hangar apron. This project further enables future hangar development
on the east side of the airfield to meet the growing demand for developable
hangar sites at Drake Field. Prospective hangar developers are now able to utilize
existing apron and water utility infrastructure to develop high caliber hangar
spaces previously inaccessible due to the lack of potable water service and fire
flow capacity.
Deficiencies with the existing wildlife fencing were identified during the FAA’s 2022
Part 139 inspection. Existing barbed wire fencing south of Runway 34 was not
compliant with current FAA standards and its poor condition provided little barrier
to local wildlife. Existing chain link fencing to the north was overgrown and in need
of localized repair to restore its condition.
Garver led this project to replace approximately 3,500 linear feet of existing barbed
wire wildlife fence southeast of Runway 16-24 with 10-foot-tall wildlife exclusion
fence and performed localized repairs to approximately 3,400 linear feet of existing
chain link fence. The project also included clearing and grubbing of existing fence
lines to be retained.

The airport received a grant from the Arkansas Division of Aeronautics to complete
improvements to their existing bulk dispensing Jet-A and Avgas tanks and systems
at their main fuel farm. The improvements included NFPA 407 and other code
updates such as bulk dispensing automatic shutoff systems and overfill prevention
valves for the tank filling operations, as well as replacing faulty or aged equipment.
The improvements included new pumps and motors, new receiving piping and
valves, new electronic inventory management systems, and electric sump pumps
for easier routine operation and maintenance. Garver provided design, bidding, and
construction phase services.
Garver completed design and bidding services and will provide construction phase
services for XNA’s Terminal Apron Reconstruction Program. This project will include
a portion of apron reconstruction as well as apron expansion between Taxiway E
and F that will provide additional deicing space for the airport.
Garver completed a preliminary engineering report for the overall Reconstruction
Program prior to beginning design on Stage 1. This provided the airport and the
FAA with a clear path for reconstruction; outlining phasing, schedules, and costs
associated with each stage. Garver also worked with the FAA on a Modification
of Standard (MOS) to reuse the existing base layers under the existing asphalt.
This MOS approval resulted in millions of dollars of savings over all stages of the
Reconstruction Program. The first stage will be strategically phased to minimize
impacts to operations during the upcoming Western Concourse Expansion.

6. CONTRACT WORKHOURS AND SAFETY STANDARDS ACT REQUIREMENTS
I. Overtime Requirements. No Engineer or subconsultant contracting for any part of the contract
work which may require or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall require or permit
any such laborer or mechanic, including watchmen and guards, in any workweek in which he or
she is employed on such work to work in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such
laborer or mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half times the
basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of forty hours in such workweek.
II. Violation; Liability for Unpaid Wages; Liquidated Damages. In the event of any violation of the
clause set forth in paragraph (1) of this clause, the Engineer and any subconsultant responsible
therefor shall be liable for the unpaid wages. In addition, such Engineer and subconsultant shall
be liable to the United States (in the case of work done under contract for the District of Columbia
or a territory, to such District or to such territory), for liquidated damages. Such liquidated damages
shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer or mechanic, including watchmen and
guards, employed in violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (1) of this clause, in the sum of
$29 for each calendar day on which such individual was required or permitted to work in excess
of the standard workweek of forty hours without payment of the overtime wages required by the
clause set forth in paragraph (1) of this clause.
III. Withholding for Unpaid Wages and Liquidated Damages. The Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) or the Owner shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized
representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld, from any moneys
payable on account of work performed by the Engineer or subconsultant under any such contract
or any other Federal contract with the same prime Engineer, or any other Federally-assisted
contract subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, which is held by the same
prime Engineer, such sums as may be determined to be necessary to satisfy any liabilities of such
Engineer or subconsultant for unpaid wages and liquidated damages as provided in the clause
set forth in paragraph 2 of this clause.
IV. Subconsultants. The Engineer or subconsultant shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses set
forth in paragraphs (1) through (4) and also a clause requiring the subconsultant to include these
clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime Engineer shall be responsible for compliance
by any subconsultant or lower tier subconsultant with the clauses set forth in paragraphs (1)
through (4) of this clause.
7. DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION
By submitting a bid/proposal under this solicitation, the Engineer certifies that neither it nor its principals
are presently debarred or suspended by any Federal department or agency from participation in this
transaction.
8. DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE
The Engineer or subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in
the performance of this contract. The Engineer shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR part 26
in the award and administration of Department of Transportation-assisted contracts. Failure by the
Engineer to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this contract, which may result in the
termination of this contract or such other remedy as the Owner deems appropriate, which may include,
but is not limited to:
Exhibit F 5 of 16 Version 1
FYV EOR 2026-2030 Garver Project No. 2501881
1) Withholding monthly progress payments;
2) Assessing sanctions;
3) Liquidated damages; and/or
4) Disqualifying the Engineer from future bidding as non-responsible.
The Engineer to pay each subcontractor under this prime contract for satisfactory performance of its
contract no later than 30 days from the receipt of each payment the prime contractor receives from the
Owner. The prime contractor agrees further to return retainage payments to each subcontractor within 30
days after the subcontractor’s work is satisfactorily completed. Any delay or postponement of payment
from the above referenced time frame may occur only for good cause following written approval of the
Owner. This clause applies to both DBE and non-DBE subcontractors.
The Engineer must not terminate a DBE subcontractor listed in response to without prior written consent
of the Owner. This includes, but is not limited to, instances in which the prime contractor seeks to perform
work originally designated for a DBE subcontractor with its own forces or those of an affiliate, a non-DBE
firm, or with another DBE firm.
The Engineer shall utilize the specific DBEs listed to perform the work and supply the materials for which
each is listed unless the contractor obtains written consent from the Owner. Unless Owner consent is
provided, the Engineer shall not be entitled to any payment for work or material unless it is performed or
supplied by the listed DBE.
The Owner may provide such written consent only if the Owner agrees, for reasons stated in the
concurrence document, that the Engineer has good cause to terminate the DBE firm. For purposes of this
paragraph, good cause includes the circumstances listed in 49 CFR §26.53.
Before transmitting to the Owner its request to terminate and/or substitute a DBE subcontractor, the
Engineer must give notice in writing to the DBE subcontractor, with a copy to the Owner, of its intent to
request to terminate and/or substitute, and the reason for the request.
The Engineer must give the DBE five days to respond to the prime contractor's notice and advise the
Owner and the contractor of the reasons, if any, why it objects to the proposed termination of its
subcontract and why the Owner should not approve the Engineer’s action. If required in a particular case
as a matter of public necessity (e.g., safety), the Owner may provide a response period shorter than five
days.
In addition to post-award terminations, the provisions of this section apply to preaward deletions of or
substitutions for DBE firms put forward by offerors in negotiated procurements.
9. DISTRACTED DRIVING
In accordance with Executive Order 13513, "Federal Leadership on Reducing Text Messaging While
Driving" (10/1/2009) and DOT Order 3902.10 “Text Messaging While Driving” (12/30/2009), the Federal
Aviation Administration encourages recipients of Federal grant funds to adopt and enforce safety policies
that decrease crashes by distracted drivers, including policies to ban text messaging while driving when
performing work related to a grant or subgrant.
In support of this initiative, the Owner encourages the Engineer to promote policies and initiatives for its
employees and other work personnel that decrease crashes by distracted drivers, including policies that
ban text messaging while driving motor vehicles while performing work activities associated with the
project. The Engineer must include the substance of this clause in all sub-tier contracts exceeding
$10,000 and involve driving a motor vehicle in performance of work activities associated with the project.

10. EQUAL EMPLOYEMENT OPPORTUNITY (E.E.O.)
I. During the performance of this contract, the Engineer agrees as follows:
(1) The Engineer will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because
of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. The Engineer
will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are
treated during employment without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation,
gender identify or national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited to the following:
employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or
termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including
apprenticeship. The Engineer agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees
and applicants for employment, notices to be provided setting forth the provisions of this
nondiscrimination clause.
(2) The Engineer will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on behalf of
the Engineer, state that all qualified applicants will receive considerations for employment
without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.
(3) The Engineer will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against any employee or
applicant for employment because such employee or applicant has inquired about, discussed,
or disclosed the compensation of the employee or applicant or another employee or applicant.
This provision shall not apply to instances in which an employee who has access to the
compensation information of other employees or applicants as a part of such employee’s
essential job functions discloses the compensation of such other employees or applicants to
individuals who do not otherwise have access to such information, unless such disclosure is in
response to a formal complaint or charge, in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding,
hearing, or action, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or is consistent with
the Engineer’s legal duty to furnish information.
(4) The Engineer will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which he has a
collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to be provided by
the agency contracting officer, advising the said labor union or workers' representatives of the
Engineer's commitments under this section 202 of Executive Order 11246 of September 24,
1965, and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and
applicants for employment.
(5) The Engineer will comply with all provisions of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965,
and of the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor.
(6) The Engineer will furnish all information and reports required by Executive Order 11246 of
September 24, 1965, and by rules, regulations, and orders of the Secretary of Labor, or
pursuant thereto, and will permit access to his books, records, and accounts by the
administering agency and the Secretary of Labor for purposes of investigation to ascertain
compliance with such rules, regulations, and orders.
(7) In the event of the Engineer's noncompliance with the nondiscrimination clauses of this contract
or with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this contract may be canceled, terminated,
or suspended in whole or in part and the Engineer may be declared ineligible for further
Government contracts or federally assisted construction contracts in accordance with
Exhibit F 7 of 16 Version 1
FYV EOR 2026-2030 Garver Project No. 2501881
procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and such other
sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of
September 24, 1965, or by rule, regulation, or order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise
provided by law.
(8) The Engineer will include the portion of the sentence immediately preceding paragraph (1) and
the provisions of paragraphs (1) through (8) in every subcontract or purchase order unless
exempted by rules, regulations, or orders of the Secretary of Labor issued pursuant to section
204 of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, so that such provisions will be binding
upon each subconsultant or vendor. The Engineer will take such action with respect to any
subcontract or purchase order as the administering agency may direct as a means of enforcing
such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance: Provided, however, that in the event
an Engineer becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subconsultant or vendor
as a result of such direction by the administering agency the Engineer may request the United
States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.
II. Standard Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Contract Specifications
(1) As used in these specifications:
a. "Covered area" means the geographical area described in the solicitation from which
this contract resulted;
b. "Director" means Director, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP),
U.S. Department of Labor, or any person to whom the Director delegates authority;
c. "Employer identification number" means the Federal social security number used on
the Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return, U.S. Treasury Department Form 941;
d. "Minority" includes:
i. Black (all) persons having origins in any of the Black African racial groups not
of Hispanic origin);
ii. Hispanic (all persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South
American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race);
iii. Asian and Pacific Islander (all persons having origins in any of the original
peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, or the Pacific
Islands); and
iv. American Indian or Alaskan native (all persons having origins in any of the
original peoples of North America and maintaining identifiable tribal affiliations
through membership and participation or community identification).
(2) Whenever the Engineer, or any subconsultant at any tier, subcontracts a portion of the work
involving any construction trade, it shall physically include in each subcontract in excess of
$10,000 the provisions of these specifications and the Notice which contains the applicable
goals for minority and female participation and which is set forth in the solicitations from which
this contract resulted.
(3) If the Engineer is participating (pursuant to 41 CFR 60-4.5) in a Hometown Plan approved by
Exhibit F 8 of 16 Version 1
FYV EOR 2026-2030 Garver Project No. 2501881
the U.S. Department of Labor in the covered area either individually or through an association,
its affirmative action obligations on all work in the Plan area (including goals and timetables)
shall be in accordance with that Plan for those trades which have unions participating in the
Plan. Engineers shall be able to demonstrate their participation in and compliance with the
provisions of any such Hometown Plan. Each Engineer or subconsultant participating in an
approved plan is individually required to comply with its obligations under the EEO clause and
to make a good faith effort to achieve each goal under the Plan in each trade in which it has
employees. The overall good faith performance by other Engineers or subconsultants toward
a goal in an approved Plan does not excuse any covered Engineer's or subconsultant's failure
to take good faith efforts to achieve the Plan goals and timetables.
(4) The Engineer shall implement the specific affirmative action standards provided in paragraphs
7a through 7p of these specifications. The goals set forth in the solicitation from which this
contract resulted are expressed as percentages of the total hours of employment and training
of minority and female utilization the Engineer should reasonably be able to achieve in each
construction trade in which it has employees in the covered area. Covered construction
Engineers performing construction work in a geographical area where they do not have a
Federal or federally assisted construction contract shall apply the minority and female goals
established for the geographical area where the work is being performed. Goals are published
periodically in the Federal Register in notice form, and such notices may be obtained from any
Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs office or from Federal procurement
contracting officers. The Engineer is expected to make substantially uniform progress in
meeting its goals in each craft during the period specified.
(5) Neither the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement nor the failure by a union with
whom the Engineer has a collective bargaining agreement to refer either minorities or women
shall excuse the Engineer's obligations under these specifications, Executive Order 11246 or
the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto.
(6) In order for the non-working training hours of apprentices and trainees to be counted in meeting
the goals, such apprentices and trainees shall be employed by the Engineer during the training
period, and the Engineer shall have made a commitment to employ the apprentices and
trainees at the completion of their training, subject to the availability of employment
opportunities. Trainees shall be trained pursuant to training programs approved by the U.S.
Department of Labor.
(7) The Engineer shall take specific affirmative actions to ensure equal employment opportunity.
The evaluation of the Engineer's compliance with these specifications shall be based upon its
effort to achieve maximum results from its actions. The Engineer shall document these efforts
fully and shall implement affirmative action steps at least as extensive as the following:
a. Ensure and maintain a working environment free of harassment, intimidation, and
coercion at all sites, and in all facilities at which the Engineer's employees are assigned
to work. The Engineer, where possible, will assign two or more women to each
construction project. The Engineer shall specifically ensure that all foremen,
superintendents, and other onsite supervisory personnel are aware of and carry out
the Engineer's obligation to maintain such a working environment, with specific
attention to minority or female individuals working at such sites or in such facilities.
b. Establish and maintain a current list of minority and female recruitment sources,
provide written notification to minority and female recruitment sources and to
community organizations when the Engineer or its unions have employment
Exhibit F 9 of 16 Version 1
FYV EOR 2026-2030 Garver Project No. 2501881
opportunities available, and maintain a record of the organizations' responses.
c. Maintain a current file of the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of each
minority and female off-the-street applicant and minority or female referral from a
union, a recruitment source, or community organization and of what action was taken
with respect to each such individual. If such individual was sent to the union hiring hall
for referral and was not referred back to the Engineer by the union or, if referred, not
employed by the Engineer, this shall be documented in the file with the reason
therefore along with whatever additional actions the Engineer may have taken.
d. Provide immediate written notification to the Director when the union or unions with
which the Engineer has a collective bargaining agreement has not referred to the
Engineer a minority person or female sent by the Engineer, or when the Engineer has
other information that the union referral process has impeded the Engineer's efforts to
meet its obligations.
e. Develop on-the-job training opportunities and/or participate in training programs for the
area which expressly include minorities and women, including upgrading programs and
apprenticeship and trainee programs relevant to the Engineer's employment needs,
especially those programs funded or approved by the Department of Labor. The
Engineer shall provide notice of these programs to the sources compiled under 7b
above.
f. Disseminate the Engineer's EEO policy by providing notice of the policy to unions and
training programs and requesting their cooperation in assisting the Engineer in meeting
its EEO obligations; by including it in any policy manual and collective bargaining
agreement; by publicizing it in the company newspaper, annual report, etc.; by specific
review of the policy with all management personnel and with all minority and female
employees at least once a year; and by posting the company EEO policy on bulletin
boards accessible to all employees at each location where construction work is
performed.
g. Review, at least annually, the company's EEO policy and affirmative action obligations
under these specifications with all employees having any responsibility for hiring,
assignment, layoff, termination, or other employment decisions including specific
review of these items with onsite supervisory personnel such a superintendents,
general foremen, etc., prior to the initiation of construction work at any job site. A
written record shall be made and maintained identifying the time and place of these
meetings, persons attending, subject matter discussed, and disposition of the subject
matter.
h. Disseminate the Engineer's EEO policy externally by including it in any advertising in
the news media, specifically including minority and female news media, and providing
written notification to and discussing the Engineer's EEO policy with other Engineers
and subconsultants with whom the Engineer does or anticipates doing business.
i. Direct its recruitment efforts, both oral and written, to minority, female, and community
organizations, to schools with minority and female students; and to minority and female
recruitment and training organizations serving the Engineer's recruitment area and
employment needs. Not later than one month prior to the date for the acceptance of
applications for apprenticeship or other training by any recruitment source, the
Engineer shall send written notification to organizations, such as the above, describing
Exhibit F 10 of 16 Version 1
FYV EOR 2026-2030 Garver Project No. 2501881
the openings, screening procedures, and tests to be used in the selection process.
j. Encourage present minority and female employees to recruit other minority persons
and women and, where reasonable, provide after school, summer, and vacation
employment to minority and female youth both on the site and in other areas of a
Engineer's workforce.
k. Validate all tests and other selection requirements where there is an obligation to do
so under 41 CFR Part 60-3.
l. Conduct, at least annually, an inventory and evaluation at least of all minority and
female personnel, for promotional opportunities and encourage these employees to
seek or to prepare for, through appropriate training, etc., such opportunities.
m. Ensure that seniority practices, job classifications, work assignments, and other
personnel practices do not have a discriminatory effect by continually monitoring all
personnel and employment related activities to ensure that the EEO policy and the
Engineer's obligations under these specifications are being carried out.
n. Ensure that all facilities and company activities are non-segregated except that
separate or single user toilet and necessary changing facilities shall be provided to
assure privacy between the sexes.
o. Document and maintain a record of all solicitations of offers for subcontracts from
minority and female construction Engineers and suppliers, including circulation of
solicitations to minority and female Engineer associations and other business
associations.
p. Conduct a review, at least annually, of all supervisor's adherence to and performance
under the Engineer's EEO policies and affirmative action obligations.
(8) Engineers are encouraged to participate in voluntary associations, which assist in fulfilling one
or more of their affirmative action obligations (7a through 7p). The efforts of an Engineer
association, joint Engineer union, Engineer community, or other similar groups of which the
Engineer is a member and participant, may be asserted as fulfilling any one or more of its
obligations under 7a through 7p of these specifications provided that the Engineer actively
participates in the group, makes every effort to assure that the group has a positive impact on
the employment of minorities and women in the industry, ensures that the concrete benefits of
the program are reflected in the Engineer's minority and female workforce participation, makes
a good faith effort to meet its individual goals and timetables, and can provide access to
documentation which demonstrates the effectiveness of actions taken on behalf of the
Engineer. The obligation to comply, however, is the Engineer's and failure of such a group to
fulfill an obligation shall not be a defense for the Engineer's noncompliance.
(9) A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for women have been established. The
Engineer, however, is required to provide equal employment opportunity and to take affirmative
action for all minority groups, both male and female, and all women, both minority and non-
minority. Consequently, if the particular group is employed in a substantially disparate manner
(for example, even though the Engineer has achieved its goals for women generally, the
Engineer may be in violation of the Executive Order if a specific minority group of women is
underutilized.)
Exhibit F 11 of 16 Version 1
FYV EOR 2026-2030 Garver Project No. 2501881
(10) The Engineer shall not use the goals and timetables or affirmative action standards to
discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender
identity, or national origin.
(11) The Engineer shall not enter into any subcontract with any person or firm debarred from
Government contracts pursuant to Executive Order 11246.
(12) The Engineer shall carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of these specifications
and of the Equal Opportunity Clause, including suspension, termination, and cancellation of
existing subcontracts as may be imposed or ordered pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as
amended, and its implementing regulations, by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance
Programs. Any Engineer who fails to carry out such sanctions and penalties shall be in violation
of these specifications and Executive Order 11246, as amended.
(13) The Engineer, in fulfilling its obligations under these specifications, shall implement specific
affirmative action steps, at least as extensive as those standards prescribed in paragraph 7 of
these specifications, so as to achieve maximum results from its efforts to ensure equal
employment opportunity. If the Engineer fails to comply with the requirements of the Executive
Order, the implementing regulations, or these specifications, the Director shall proceed in
accordance with 41 CFR 60-4.8.
(14) The Engineer shall designate a responsible official to monitor all employment related activity
to ensure that the company EEO policy is being carried out, to submit reports relating to the
provisions hereof as may be required by the Government, and to keep records. Records shall
at least include for each employee, the name, address, telephone number, construction trade,
union affiliation if any, employee identification number when assigned, social security number,
race, sex, status (e.g., mechanic, apprentice, trainee, helper, or laborer), dates of changes in
status, hours worked per week in the indicated trade, rate of pay, and locations at which the
work was performed. Records shall be maintained in an easily understandable and retrievable
form; however, to the degree that existing records satisfy this requirement, Engineers shall not
be required to maintain separate records.
(15) Nothing herein provided shall be construed as a limitation upon the application of other laws
which establish different standards of compliance or upon the application of requirements for
the hiring of local or other area residents (e.g., those under the Public Works Employment Act
of 1977 and the Community Development Block Grant Program).
11. FEDERAL FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT (FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE)
All contracts and subcontracts that result from this solicitation incorporate by reference the provisions
of 29 CFR part 201, the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), with the same force and effect as if
given in full text. The FLSA sets minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and child labor
standards for full and part time workers.
The Engineer has full responsibility to monitor compliance to the referenced statute or regulation. The
Engineer must address any claims or disputes that arise from this requirement directly with the U.S.
Department of Labor – Wage and Hour Division
12. LOBBYING AND INFLUENCING FEDERAL EMPLOYEES
The Engineer certifies by signing and submitting this bid or proposal, to the best of his or her knowledge
and belief, that:
Exhibit F 12 of 16 Version 1
FYV EOR 2026-2030 Garver Project No. 2501881

16. TRADE RESTRICTION CERTIFICATION
By submission of an offer, the Engineer certifies that with respect to this solicitation and any resultant
contract, the Engineer –
(1) is not owned or controlled by one or more citizens of a foreign country included in the list of
countries that discriminate against U.S. firms as published by the Office of the United States
Trade Representative (USTR.);
(2) has not knowingly entered into any contract or subcontract for this project with a person that is
a citizen or national of a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate
against U.S. firms as published by the USTR; and
(3) has not entered into any subcontract for any product to be used on the Federal on the project
that is produced in a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate against
U.S. firms published by the USTR.
This certification concerns a matter within the jurisdiction of an agency of the United States of America
and the making of a false, fictitious, or fraudulent certification may render the maker subject to
prosecution under Title 18, United States Code, § 1001.
The Engineer must provide immediate written notice to the Owner if the Engineer learns that its
certification or that of a subconsultant was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by
reason of changed circumstances. The Engineer must require subconsultants provide immediate
written notice to the Engineer if at any time it learns that its certification was erroneous by reason of
changed circumstances.
Unless the restrictions of this clause are waived by the Secretary of Transportation in accordance with
49 CFR § 30.17, no contract shall be awarded to an Engineer or subconsultant:
Exhibit F 15 of 16 Version 1
FYV EOR 2026-2030 Garver Project No. 2501881
(1) who is owned or controlled by one or more citizens or nationals of a foreign country included
on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms published by the USTR. or
(2) whose subconsultants are owned or controlled by one or more citizens or nationals of a foreign
country on such USTR list or
(3) who incorporates in the public works project any product of a foreign country on such USTR
list;
Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records
in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by this provision. The knowledge and
information of an Engineer is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent
person in the ordinary course of business dealings.
The Engineer agrees that, if awarded a contract resulting from this solicitation, it will incorporate this
provision for certification without modification in in all lower tier subcontracts. The Engineer may rely
on the certification of a prospective subconsultant that it is not a firm from a foreign country included on
the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms as published by USTR, unless the Engineer has
knowledge that the certification is erroneous.
This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making an
award. If it is later determined that the Engineer or subconsultant knowingly rendered an erroneous
certification, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) may direct through the Owner cancellation of
the contract or subcontract for default at no cost to the Owner or the FAA.
