This policy prohibits discrimination by the City's contractors, consultants and vendors and requires them to ensure that applicants seeking employment with them and their employees are treated equally without regard to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, marital status, and age. It is the City's intention to assist employers, who are City contractors, vendors or consultants, in designing and implementing equal employment opportunity so that all citizens will be afforded equal accessibility and opportunity to gain and maintain employment. PROVISIONS: All contractors, vendors, and consultants requesting to do business with the City must submit an Equal Opportunity Policy Statement before the execution of the contract. 2. All City contractors, vendors, and consultants with contracts of $25,000 or more (or less if required by another governmental agency) must abide by the requirements of the City's Contract Compliance Program. Emergency contracts may be exempt from this provision at the discretion of the City. Regardless of the value of the contract, all contractors, vendors, and consultants are subject to the City's Human Rights Ordinance, which is codified at Article 2 of the City Code. Contracting departments are responsible for assuring that City contractors, vendors, and consultants are made aware of the City's Contract Compliance Program reporting responsibilities and receive the appropriate reporting forms. A notification of requirements will be included in any request for proposal and notice of bids. 4. Prior to execution of the contract, the completed and signed Assurance of Compliance (located on pages CC-2 and CC-3) or other required material must be received and approved by the City. 5. Contracting departments are responsible for answering questions about contractor, consultant and vendor compliance during the course of the contract with the City. 6. All contractors, vendors, and consultants must refrain from the use of any signs or designations which are sexist in nature, such as those which state "Men Working" or "Flagman Ahead," and instead use gender neutral signs. 7. All contractors, vendors, and consultants must assure that their subcontractors abide by the City's Human Rights Ordinance. The City's protected classes are listed at Iowa City City Code section 2-3-1. rj _, ~, ? r - ~_ ~ ~J m"' _ ~ r- e 11 rn - ~ °'~ / ~ ~ .. ~ iv Y 0 CC-1 SECTION II -ASSURANCE OF COMPLIANCE The following sets forth the minimum requirements of a satisfactory Equal Employment Opportunity Program which will be reviewed for acceptability. PLEASE RETURN PAGES CC2 AND CC3 OF THIS SECTION TO THE CONTRACTING DEPARTMENT PRIOR TO THE EXECUTION OF THE CONTRACT. With respect to the performance of this contract, the contractor, consultant or vendor agrees as follows: (For the purposes of these minimum requirements, "contractor" shall include consultants and vendors.) a. The contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment and will take affirmative efforts to ensure applicants and employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, marital status, and age. Such efforts shall include, but not be limited to the following: employment, promotion, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. b. The contractor will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on behalf of the contractor, state that it is an equal opportunity employer. Note: Contracts that are federally funded are subject to Executive Order No. 11246, as amended, and the regulations (see generally 29 U.S.C. § 1608 et sec..) and relevant orders of the U.S. Secretary of Labor. The Secretary of Labor, and not the City, enforces said regulations and orders. 3. Provide a copy of your written Equal Employment Opportunity policy statement. Where is this statement posted? 4. What is the name, telephone number and address of your business' Equal Employment Opportunity Officer? (Please print) Phone number 5.

Document the policy and post it in a conspicuous place so that it is known to all your employees. Furthermore, disseminate the policy to all potential sources of employees and to your subcontractors asking their cooperation. The policy statement should recognize and accept your responsibility to provide equal employment opportunity in all your employment practices. In regard to dissemination of this policy, this can be done, for example, through the use of letters to all recruitment sources and subcontractors, personal contacts, employee meetings, web page postings, employee handbooks, and advertising. 2. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY OFFICER Designate an equal employment opportunity officer or, at minimum, assign someone the responsibility of administering and promoting your company's Equal Employment Opportunity program. This person should have a position in your organization which emphasizes the importance of the program. 3. INSTRUCT STAFF Your staff should be aware of and be required to abide by your Equal Employment Opportunity program. All employees authorized to hire, supervise, promote, or discharge employees or are involved in such actions should be trained and required to comply with your policy and the current equal employment opportunity laws. 4. RECRUITMENT (a) Let potential employees know you are an equal opportunity employer. This can be done by identifying yourself on all recruitment advertising as "an equal opportunity employer". (b) Use recruitment sources that are likely to yield diverse applicant pools. Word-of-mouth recruitment will only perpetuate the current composition of your workforce. Send recruitment sources a letter annually which reaffirms your commitment to equal employment opportunity and requests their assistance in helping you reach diverse applicant pools. (c) Analyze and review your company's recruitment procedures to identify and eliminate discriminatory barriers. (d) Select and train persons involved in the employment process to use objective standards and to support equal employment opportunity goals. (e) Review periodically job descriptions to make sure they accurately reflect major job functions. Review education and experience requirements to make sure they accurately reflect the requirements for successful job performance. (f) Review the job application to insure that only job related questions are asked. Ask yourself "Is this information necessary to judge an applicant's ability to perform the job applied for?" Only use job-related tests which do not adversely affect any particular group of people. fig,) .Monitor interviews carefully. Prepare interview questions in advance to assure that they are only job ~~tated. Train your interviewers on discrimination laws. Biased and subjective judgments in personal ~''- qtr tfyrviews can be a major source of discrimination. (~ ~~1~rove hiring and selection procedures and use non-biased promotion, transfer and training ~ ~pltcies to increase and/or improve the diversity of your workforce representation. Companies .~ tv r,-raft make sure procedures for selecting candidates for promotion, transfer and training are --- ~ l~s§d upon a fair assessment of an employee's ability and work record. Furthermore, all ~- _~r deri~anies should post and otherwise publicize all job promotional opportunities and encourage all c~alified employees to bid on them. r-= CC-4 ~~:r®~1 ~.~c~_ ~O C~t~ 0~~ ~~ ~` Attached for your information is a copy of Section 2 - 3 - 1 of the Iowa City Code of Ordinances which prohibits certain discriminatory practices in employment. Please note that the protected characteristics include some not mandated for protection by Federal or State law. As a contractor, consultant or vendor doing business with the City of Iowa City you are required to abide by the provisions of the local ordinance in conjunction with your performance under a contract with the City. _., _, --~ =~' =; ~ ~ _ ~ ~_ ~"y , _ i 7"1 ~~ ~ 1~J D ~ CC-5 2-3-1 CHAPTER3 DISCRIMINATORY PRACTICES B. t~ c_~ ~~ -.o ..~ N r ~y :~ SECTION: 2-3-1: Employment; Exceptions 2-3-2: Public Accommodation; Exceptions 2-3-3: Credit Transactions; Exceptions 2-3-4: Education 2-3-5: Aiding Or Abetting; Retaliation; Iniim(datlon 2-3-1: EMPLOYMENT; EXCEPTIONS: A.

The surface will be reasonably smooth and free of loose rock and clods, holes, depressions, projections, muddy conditions and standing or flowing water. B. Placement 1. Prior to placement of the geotextile, the soil surface will be inspected for quality of design and construction. The geotextile will be placed on the approved surface at the locations and in accordance with the details shown on the plans. The geotextile will be unrolled along the placement area and loosely laid (not stretched) in such a manner that it will conform to the surface irregularities when material is placed on or against it. The geotextile may be folded and overlapped to permit proper ~~ aC placement in the designated area. c~+ ~C ~ ~ CY ~ 2. The geotextile will be joined by overlapping a minimum of 18 inches (unless a- ~ ~_ ~ ~ otherwise specified on the plans or by the manufacturer), and secured against the ~o U ~_~ ° N underlying foundation material. Securing pins, approved and provided by the ~ %- ~-' ~~ f- ~ geotextile manufacturer, shall be placed along the edge of the panel or roll material LL ;,¢ U l to adequately hold it in place during installation. Pins will be steel or fiberglass ~; p formed as a "U", "L", or "T" shape or contain "ears" to prevent total penetration. i~~ - Steel washers will be provided on all but the "U" shaped pins. The upstream or up- slope line will be inserted through both layers along a line through approximately the midpoint of the overlap. At horizontal laps and across slope laps, securing pins will be inserted through the bottom layer only. Securing pins will be placed along a line approximately 2 inches in from the edge of the placed geotextile at intervals not to exceed 12 feet unless otherwise specified. Additional pins will be installed 02270-2 as necessary and where appropriate, to prevent slippage or movement of the geotextile. The use of securing pins will be held to the minimum necessary. Pins are to be left in place unless otherwise specified. Should the geotextile be torn or punctured, or the overlaps disturbed, as evidenced by visible damage, subgrade pumping, intrusion, or grade distortion, the backfill around the damaged or displaced area will be removed and restored to the original approved condition. The repair will consist of a patch of the same type of geotextile being used, overlapping the existing geotextile. Geotextile panels joined by overlap will have the patch extend a minimum of 2 feet from the edge of any damaged area. 4. The geotextile will not be placed until it can be anchored and protected with the specified covering within 48 hours or protected from exposure to ultraviolet light. In no case will material be dropped on uncovered geotextile from a height greater than 3 feet. 11 /00 shared\engineer\specs-ii\02270. doc Q ...~ e..~ ~~ _ . .._~ L...., ~ .mss ~ S ~~ . ~., •~ {~ N y <.n 02270-3 SECTION 02900 LANDSCAPING PART 1 -GENERAL 1.01 SUMMARY.• A.

The prime contractor shall be responsible for compliance and implementation of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for their entire contract. This responsibility shall be further shared with subcontractors whose work is a source of potential pollution as defined in this SWPPP. SITE DESCRIPTION This Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is for the construction of the flood-related sand and debris removal from City Park in Iowa City, Iowa. This SWPPP covers approximately 22 acres with an estimated 12 acres being disturbed. The portion of the SWPPP covered by this contract has 12 acres disturbed. The SWPPP is located in an area of two soil associations: Sattre and Perks. The estimated average NRCS runoff curve number for this SWPPP after completion will be 49. Refer to the project plans for locations of typical slopes, ditch grades, and major structural and non- structural controls. A copy of this plan will be on file at the project engineer's office. Runoff from this work will flow into the Iowa River. POTENTIAL SOURCES OF POLLUTION: Site sources of pollution generated as a result of this work relate to silts and sediment which may be transported as a result of a storm event. However, this SWPPP provides conveyance for other (non- project related) operations. These other operations have storm water runoff, the regulation of which is beyond the control of this SWPPP. Potentially this runoff can contain various pollutants related to site- specific land uses. Examples are: Rural Agricultural Activities: Runoff from agricultural land use can potentially contain chemicals including herbicide pesticf3~s, ~a fungicides and fertilizers. ;~ ~-; ~,., -~''-'c, ~~ 3 Commercial and Industrial Activities: ~.~ -ti .~ Runoff from commercial and industrial land use may contain constituents associated wttFl.-thhe s~cific operation. Such operations are subject to potential leaks and spills which could be cor~mrngled with rlih~ off from the facility. Pollutants associated with commercial and industrial activities are.lx~'ead~ available since they are typically proprietary. ©~ rv z D w 2. CONTROLS ~"~ At locations where runoff can move offsite, silt fence shall be placed along the perimeter of the areas to be disturbed prior to beginning grading, excavation or clearing and grubbing operations. Vegetation in areas not needed for construction shall be preserved. As areas reach their final grade, additional silt fences, silt basins, intercepting ditches, sod flumes, letdowns, bridge end drains, and earth dikes shall be installed as specified in the plans and/or as required by the project engineer. This will include using silt fence as ditch checks and to protect intakes. Temporary stabilizing seeding shall be completed as the disturbed areas are constructed. If construction activity is not planned to occur in a disturbed area for at least 21 days, the area shall be stabilized by temporary seeding or mulching within 14 days. Other stabilizing methods shall be used outside the seeding time period. This work shall be done in accordance with Section 2602 of the Standard Specifications. If the work involved is not applicable to any contract items, the work shall be paid for according to Article 1109.03 paragraph B. Page 1 of 2 As the work progresses, additional erosion control items may be required as determined by the engineer after field investigation. These may be items such as sediment traps, level spreaders and other appropriate measures shall be installed by contractor, as directed by the engineer. The contractor will complete the construction with the establishment of permanent perennial vegetation of all disturbed areas. 4. OTHER CONTROLS Contractor disposal of unused construction materials and construction material wastes shall comply with applicable state and local waste disposal, sanitary sewer, or septic system regulations. In the event of a conflict with other governmental laws, rules and regulations, the more restrictive laws, rules or regulations shall apply. APPROVED STATE OR LOCAL PLANS: During the course of this construction, it is possible that situations will arise where unknown materials will be encountered. When such situations are encountered, they will be handled according to all federal, state, and local regulations in effect at the time. MAINTENANCE The contractor is required to maintain all temporary erosion control measures in proper working order, including cleaning, repairing, or replacing them throughout the contract period. Cleaning of silt control devices shall begin when the features have lost 50% of their capacity. 5. INSPECTIONS Inspections shall be made jointly by the contractor and the contracting authority every seven calendar days and after each rain event that is one half inch or greater. The contractor shall immediately begin corrective action on all deficiencies found. The findings of this inspection shall be recorded in the project diary. This SWPPP may be revised based on the findings of the inspection. The contractor shall implement all revisions. All corrective actions shall be completed within 3 calendar days of the inspection. 6. NON-STORM DISCHARGES This includes subsurface drains (i.e. longitudinal and standard subdrains), slope drains and bridge end drains. The velocity of the discharge from these features may be controlled by the use of patio blocks, Class A stone or erosion stone.
