Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date first set forth above and shall remain in full force and effect until March 14, 2023 (the “Initial Term”), unless terminated as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the County Contract. After the expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement may be renewed for up to four successive one-year terms (the “Renewal Term”) if: (i) it is deemed in the best interests of the Town, subject to availability and 2 appropriation of funds for renewal in each subsequent year, (ii) the term of the County Contract has not expired or has been extended, (iii) at least 30 days prior to the end of the then-current term of this Agreement, the Contractor requests, in writing, to extend this Agreement for an additional one- year term and (iv) the Town approves the additional one-year term in writing (including any price adjustments approved as part of the County Contract), as evidenced by the Town Manager’s signature thereon, which approval may be withheld by the Town for any reason. The Contractor’s failure to seek a renewal of this Agreement shall cause this Agreement to terminate at the end of the then-current term of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Town may, at its discretion and with the agreement of the Contractor, elect to waive this requirement and renew this Agreement. The Initial Term and any Renewal Term(s) are collectively referred to herein as the “Term.” Upon renewal, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 2.

Upon discovery of non- conforming Materials or Services, the Town may elect to do any or all of the following by written notice to the Contractor: (i) waive the non-conformance; (ii) stop the work immediately; or (iii) bring Materials or Services into compliance and withhold the cost of same from any payments due to the Contractor. 2.2 Cancellation.

All remaining terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 4. Payments. The Town shall pay the Contractor monthly (and the Contractor shall invoice monthly), based upon acceptance and delivery of Materials and/or Services performed and completed to date, and upon submission and approval of invoices. Each invoice shall (i) contain a reference to this Agreement and the County Contract and (ii) document and itemize all work completed to date. The invoice statement shall include a record of materials delivered, time expended, and work performed in sufficient detail to justify payment. Additionally, invoices submitted without referencing this Agreement and the County Contract will be subject to rejection and may be returned. 3 5. Records and Audit Rights. To ensure that the Contractor and its subcontractors are complying with the warranty under Section 6 below, Contractor’s and its subcontractors’ books, records, correspondence, accounting procedures and practices, and any other supporting evidence relating to this Agreement, including the papers of any Contractor and its subcontractors’ employees who perform any work or services pursuant to this Agreement (all of the foregoing hereinafter referred to as “Records”), shall be open to inspection and subject to audit and/or reproduction during normal working hours by the Town, to the extent necessary to adequately permit evaluation of the Contractor’s and its subcontractors’ compliance with the Arizona employer sanctions laws referenced in Section 6 below.

Agreement Subject to Appropriation. The Town is obligated only to pay its obligations set forth in this Agreement as may lawfully be made from funds appropriated and budgeted for that purpose during the Town’s then current fiscal year. The Town’s obligations under this Agreement are current expenses subject to the “budget law” and the unfettered legislative discretion of the Town concerning budgeted purposes and appropriation of funds. Should the Town elect not to appropriate and budget funds to pay its Agreement obligations, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated at the end of the then-current fiscal year term for which such funds were appropriated and budgeted for such purpose and the Town shall be relieved of any subsequent obligation under this Agreement. The parties agree that the Town has no obligation or duty of good faith to budget or appropriate the payment of the Town’s obligations set forth in this Agreement in 4 any budget in any fiscal year other than the fiscal year in which this Agreement is executed and delivered. The Town shall be the sole judge and authority in determining the availability of funds for its obligations under this Agreement. The Town shall keep Contractor informed as to the availability of funds for this Agreement. The obligation of the Town to make any payment pursuant to this Agreement is not a general obligation or indebtedness of the Town. Contractor hereby waives any and all rights to bring any claim against the Town from or relating in any way to the Town's termination of this Agreement pursuant to this section. 11. Conflicting Terms. In the event of any inconsistency, conflict or ambiguity among the terms of this Agreement, the County Contract, the Proposal, and invoices, the documents shall govern in the order listed herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and in conformity with Section 2 above, unauthorized exceptions, conditions, limitations or provisions in conflict with the terms of this Agreement or the County Contract (collectively, the “Unauthorized Conditions”), other than the Town’s project-specific requirements, are expressly declared void and shall be of no force and effect. Acceptance by the Town of any work order or invoice containing any such Unauthorized Conditions or failure to demand full compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement or under the County Contract shall not alter such terms and conditions or relieve Contractor from, nor be construed or deemed a waiver of, its requirements and obligations in the performance of this Agreement. 12. Rights and Privileges. To the extent provided under the County Contract, the Town shall be afforded all of the rights and privileges afforded to the State and shall be the “State” (as defined in the County Contract) for the purposes of the portions of the County Contract that are incorporated herein by reference. 13. Indemnification; Insurance. In addition to and in no way limiting the provisions set forth in Section 12 above, the Town shall be afforded all of the insurance coverage and indemnifications afforded to the State to the extent provided under the County Contract, and such insurance coverage and indemnifications shall inure and apply with equal effect to the Town under this Agreement including, but not limited to, the Contractor’s obligation to provide the indemnification and insurance. In any event, the Contractor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Town and each council member, officer, employee or agent thereof (the Town and any such person being herein called an “Indemnified Party”), for, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and the costs of appellate proceedings) to which any such Indemnified Party may become subject, under any theory of liability whatsoever (“Claims”), insofar as such Claims (or actions in respect thereof) relate to, arise out of, or are caused by or based upon the negligent acts, intentional misconduct, errors, mistakes or omissions, in connection with the work or services of the Contractor, its officers, employees, agents, or any tier of subcontractor in the performance of this Agreement. 14.

The bituminous material "initial cost" price is issued each month in memorandum form by ADOT's Contract and Specifications Section of the Intermodal Transportation Division under "Price Adjustment for Bituminous Material" title. The price is the arithmetic average of the high and low selling prices for asphalt cement shown for the previous quarter in the ADOT escalator.

DBA Cactus Asphalt 8211 West Sherman Street Tolleson, AZ 85353 Representative: Jeff Smith, Project Manager (602) 618-7405 jsmith@cactusasphalt.com QUESTION SET – Method of Approach 2.0.1 QUESTION: Describe your experience in the advantages and disadvantages of the JOC alternative delivery method compared to traditional design-bid-build. RESPONSE: Holding multiple Job Order Contracts (JOCs) over the past 14 years has given Cactus Asphalt (Cactus) insight into the world of alternative delivery methods commonly used with JOCs. Overall the experience has been positive for us which is why we’ve had nine JOCs renewed over the past three years with multiple agencies. We believe advantages for the JOC delivery method include the following: Flexibility – Both for the contractor and agency, a JOC gives flexibility for procuring and scheduling work as the two come together early in the stage to determine the proper time and season to perform work. Partnership – The agency and contractor act as partners throughout design, procurement and construction working towards the same ultimate goal of a quality end product. Quality – With the JOC delivery method the contractor and owner can focus on quality products, companies and practices. Cactus has developed a quality control program that includes oversight by our in-house QC manager which allows us to be on the forefront of new and developing technologies and products in construction. We also focus on procuring and keeping quality subcontractors that align with our vision of the project. Open Communication – Early on in the process Cactus will set up a meeting with the agency and all key employees to launch the kick off for the JOC. This happens before work is scheduled or procured so all parties can get to know each other. Scheduling – As Cactus partners with multiple agencies, we have become accustomed to pre- scheduling anticipated work needed in the future seasons when capacity is decreased (this is especially true for paving and chip sealing). We regularly block out dates early in the year in anticipation of JOC projects that can be determined at a later date. IFB 175923 – Asphalt Maintenance & Repair Services Page 2 of 18 End of the Year Funding – Some JOC projects are assigned towards the end of the fiscal year with a hard date to complete so that funds can be expended. This is not typically the case with design- bid-build projects as they are usually funded pre-bid and have an end date that does not constrain to the end of the fiscal year. Though this might sound negative, Cactus has turned this into a positive throughout our years successfully completing JOC projects. With our multiple crews, Cactus can schedule a job properly and complete it within of the fiscal year timeframe. We are also able to price our projects quickly so that the owner can map out their spending throughout the year. With our JOC experience over multiple years, we believe that there is no disadvantage with the JOC alternative delivery method compared to traditional design-bid-build. With a JOC, the contractor and owner come together as a team focused on the best interest of the end users of the product and most often the public. This team can work together for many years developing a professional relationship with trust and respect that no design-bid-build project can; whereas the hard-bid market (design-bid-build) creates an adversarial relationship at the start. The contractor has to bid as low as possible to get the job and will fight over every change to get the most they can through change orders if necessary. All this is avoidable with JOC and alternative delivery methods. 2.0.2 QUESTION: Describe successful processes your company has developed for prior work that specifically parallels the JOC process. Provide specific details and methodology to demonstrate why each process was successful including advantages over commonly utilized processes. Include a description of the software system(s) successfully used by your company for project estimating, planning, scheduling and managing construction and the unique processes you’ve developed for its use in JOC (or comparable) contracts. RESPONSE: Processes that have been developed for JOC and other work include a single point of contact, team involvement from pre-construction to punch-list, a timeline for procurement, and cross- training employees. Single Point of Contact – Cactus will assign a person as the single-point-of-contact for this JOC. Their involvement is from start to finish on all Job Order Assignments (JOAs). They will be with the agency for pre-design and design services, they will assist the Senior Estimator in putting together all pricing. They will help coordinate the pre-construction and assist in scheduling the work. When work is being performed they will be involved in the day to day operations. And finally, they will be there for the punch list walk through and sign off with the agency. We have seen this process improve our communication and production with JOCs as the Single-Point-of-Contact helps guide the JOC from start to finish. Team Involvement – Cactus will not only have the Single-Point-of-Contact involved, but during pre- construction and cost assembly, the Senior Estimator will provide estimates and assist with acquiring subcontractors (if needed). Once the pre-construction is initiated the Division Manager and Project Superintendent will be there to help with construction start-up and close-out. During no point in a project’s life will the agency be without the Cactus team. Procurement Timeline – Over the past few years Cactus has developed a timeline that assists in procuring JOC and alternative delivery work. Once the project is defined and site visits are performed, our team goes into action. Depending on the size and scope of the project, we can provide a price proposal in as little as 72 hours or up to 1 week. This enables the agency to have the information in front of them quicker so they can make an informed decision on how the work will commence, either to go ahead as planned or adjust scope for any reason. IFB 175923 – Asphalt Maintenance & Repair Services Page 3 of 18 Cross Training Employees and Crews – Cactus has established a cross-training program for our various crews so they can perform a variety of services and applications required to keep up with agency demands or schedule. For instance, our concrete crews can provide crack sealing, fog sealing, seal coating, and patching services. The more skills the crews have, the more efficient the project. Systems used for estimating, planning, scheduling, and managing construction include the following: Estimating – Cactus uses various take-off software to determine areas and volumes; including AGTEK Software for digitizing plans and calculating volumes, and Plan Swift for on-screen take- offs f or linear footage and area measurements. Cactus uses Bid 2 Win software for generating accurate cost estimates concerning each phase and scope of work for each JOA. Planning & Scheduling – Cactus utilizes Microsoft Project software for generating a Gantt chart schedule. Cactus has a full-time scheduler that controls the master schedule of our various crews. The Single-Point-of-Contact will work with the project scheduler to make sure time is secured for crews and supervision to perform and manage work. Managing Construction – Timberline and Build 2 Win software are used for tracking construction progress and JOA costs. The crew foreman will enter daily quantities and crew time at the end of each shift. This information ties into Bid 2 Win to compare progress to the budget. Invoices can be created off these imported quantities for easy billing of jobs that can take place weekly or monthly. These systems have been integrated into the Cactus culture and are used on all projects from JOC projects to traditional design-bid-build projects. With these systems, Cactus is able to effectively manage and control work for productivity and quality. 2.0.3 QUESTION: Discuss the key components and advantages of your company’s selection process for subcontractors. Demonstrate your understanding of the County’s requirement that subcontractor selection must be based on qualifications alone or a combination of qualifications and price, not on price alone. Provide a detailed proposed Subcontractor Selection Plan attached as an appendix. RESPONSE: Through JOC involvement, Cactus has learned that a quality subcontractor is invaluable to the process and project. We have developed a subcontractor selection plan that not only takes price into consideration but also five additional criteria as listed below: Previous work performance - the ability to show up on time and deliver quality is valued in a subcontractor despite the number of contracts they perform on. We value a subcontractor that treats each project as important as the rest. Partnering Ability – Cactus chooses subcontractors that can adapt to the “Team” model with a cohesive vision of project goals in mind. Cost control and pricing – The ability to stay within budget is valued as we focus on the best product for the best value. IFB 175923 – Asphalt Maintenance & Repair Services Page 4 of 18 Safety program – Cactus will only choose subcontractors that have qualified safety programs in place and implement the use of them through all phases of work. Overall quality of their work – Cactus considers previous work history and performance as a measuring tool for quality. Quality work is often placed above lower price, due to avoidance of warranty and punch list items that can come up at the end of projects. All of these traits are considered when selecting subcontractors to become part of our team on JOC projects. Sometimes the lowest price is the best; other times quality and safety out-weigh a low price. 2.0.4 QUESTION: Discuss the Contractor’s intention of self-performance for each Job Order Assignment and indicate percentage of self-performance you intend to provide under this contract. Remember that Pinal County requires a minimum of 51% of work be self- performance. RESPONSE: It is the intention of Cactus to self-perform as much of the JOA work as possible acknowledging that there are items of work that will need to be subcontracted. We will absolutely maintain a minimum of 51% per JOA as provided below. The self-performed work is based on Cactus’ capability and the items listed in ROQ Section 2. Based on the scope of services of this JOC, Cactus anticipates performing more than 51% of the services as shown in the Self-Performed vs Subcontracted list below. Self-performed: Obtain all necessary permits, required to complete the JOA, including but not limited to; Engineering Off-site, haul route, stockpile, SWPPP, dust control, traffic control plans, etc. Placing asphalt pavements including full depth sections, overlays, patches and repairs. Pavement maintenance and rehabilitation; including but not limited to; crack sealing and joint sealing, crack routing and large crack repair, applying various types of surface treatments including fog seal, scrub seal, slurry seal, chip seal, other asphalt rejuvenation methods, milling and/or roadway profiling, saw cutting and removing both asphalt and concrete pavements. Minor subgrade preparation including compacting native soil, placing and compacting ABC, millings, soil stabilization and grading. Minor earthwork: site rough and finishing grade. Maintaining shoulders including grading, placement of surface treatment and sealing. Subcontracted: Signing and striping including, survey of existing striping and signing, providing and installing project signs, obliteration of striping, layout and installing striping, symbols, raised pavement markers and signage. Combination of self-performed and subcontracted depending on crew availability and size of work: Preparing traffic control plans, providing traffic set-up in accordance with the approved traffic control plans and barricading work areas. IFB 175923 – Asphalt Maintenance & Repair Services Page 5 of 18 2.0.5 QUESTION: Discuss what efforts the Contractor would initiate to meet the project budget and schedule during the negotiation process. RESPONSE: The Single-Point-of-Contact and Senior Estimator will be involved in the negotiation process. To develop a proper budget, a complete scope of work will be agreed upon by the County and Cactus. If the cost of work falls outside the budget, Cactus will work hand-in-hand with the County on either reducing the scope, cutting unnecessary work out or by partnering with their subs and suppliers to convey the needs of the County. The same efforts will be applied to the schedule. If there is not enough time or days to complete the work as is, Cactus can look at double shifts or weekend work to complete it within the time allotted. This can also be mitigated by early planning and blocking out days ahead of schedule. QUESTION SET – Qualifications and Experience of Contractor 3.0.1 QUESTION: Provide a general description of all services provided by the Contractor or team that is proposing to provide JOC services. Indicate all services provided by each team member. Include information for any specific subcontractor to be utilized for all work of a certain type. RESPONSE: Cactus has been providing 85% of the services requested by the County for over eight years. The Cactus Team will provide the following services: Obtaining all necessary permits; Placing asphalt pavements including full depth sections, overlays, patches and repairs; Pavement maintenance and rehabilitation; minor subgrade preparation; rough and finishing grade. Cactus team members assigned to the County’s JOC and services provided include: Jeff Smith, Project Manager and single-point-of-contact, will be responsible for project oversight, including obtaining all necessary permits and preparing traffic control plans, providing traffic set-up in accordance with the approved traffic control plans and barricading work areas. Jeff Abram, Senior Estimator is responsible for estimating and pre-construction services. Scott McMorine, Chip Seal and Fog Seal Division Manager is responsible for planning, scheduling, mobilization of the equipment and crews, and project management including quality control, timeline management, safety compliance, purchase orders for material and subcontractors for JOAs that include chip seal and fog seal applications.

Along with our professional and qualified staff, Cactus has the ability to produce the materials called for in this JOC. Cactus continues to diversify and we have come to specialize in the application of Polymer Modified Asphalt Rubber, Asphalt Rubber, Rubberized Asphalt Binder and Scrub Seal. Cactus has developed recycled tire rubber/polymer blending and application equipment with our partners, D & H Manufacturing and Bearcat Manufacturing. All of this equipment is state-of-the-art and is well maintained at our shop in Tolleson, Arizona. Our employees have been highly trained not only to operate this equipment efficiently but to have a deep understanding of the component materials and the final binder products being utilized. Cactus has also established blending and construction procedures that have led to Value Engineering opportunities that have revolutionized how agencies look at utilizing these highly modified and quality materials. Cactus has developed a family of materials that have been utilized for many years in various pavement repair, maintenance and preservation applications. These materials and systems are recommended to be utilized based on a number of variables, particularly and most importantly existing pavement condition. All materials are highly modified with tire rubber and SBS polymer, and have been specifically formulated and custom blended for specific use in all aspects of pavement rehabilitation focusing on best practice criteria. • Crack Seal Material • Scrub Seal Material • Trackless Tack • Low Volume Fractured Aggregate Surface Treatment (SAM and SAMI) • High Volume Fractured Aggregate Surface Treatment (SAM and SAMI) • Modified Cape Seal • Durable Hot Mix Overlay Each of these uses can be applied to parking lot and street applications and each has proven to extend the life of deteriorated pavements which result in life cycle cost benefit while recycling scrap tires from Arizona landfills. We consider this a benefit to Pinal County as their pavement preservation program will be on the forefront of new materials and services provided by Cactus, a leader in the pavement preservation industry. 3.0.2 QUESTION: Describe the Contractor’s management and organizational abilities.

RESPONSE: Cactus has over 14 years of experience successfully procuring and completing various types of JOCs. Cactus’s key personnel team will be the following group of highly experienced people. Jeff Smith will be Project Manager and the Single-Point-of-Contact concerning JOAs associated with this JOC. Jeff has 41 years of experience concerning all aspects of Pavement Preservation Applications and Services. Scott McMorine – Chip Seal and Fog Seal Division Manager (10 years of experience), Jeff Abram - Senior Estimator (12 years of experience), Kyle Gooding - Crack Seal and Seal Coat Division Manager (8 years of experience) and Oscar Gonzales – Field Operations Manager (21 years of experience) will round out the Cactus personnel that will be assigned to Pinal County JOAs. As a team, these individuals will draw from over 90 years of pavement preservation rehabilitation and maintenance services to partner with Pinal County. The following is the perspective and experience of our group and how we will collectively focus on: Partnering - is the primary advantage of the JOC delivery method. The Cactus team considers partnering a very important aspect concerning our future relationship with Pinal County. Through our experience, partnering and value engineering will take place in every aspect of project delivery from pre-construction through project closeout. Every item of work in a JOA should be discussed and an approach agreed upon during pre-construction meetings. As variables arise during construction, the partnering process is even more important as Cactus and Pinal County work to construct projects in a timely manner and at a very high level of quality. Quality Control - is key to state of the art construction practice, superior materials application and project longevity. As partners, Pinal County and Cactus will confirm through pre-testing and product certification the quality of all materials that have been specified for use on a specific JOA. Construction practice along with sampling and testing protocol will be identified through partnering meetings and utilized as a starting point for JOA implementation. JOA variables will be handled in the field or escalated through proper channels established in the pre-construction meeting. Project Scheduling - is very important regarding timely JOA completion. As with past JOCs that Cactus has had with Pinal County, we will strive to have pre-construction meetings early in the spring to determine the scope of the JOA(s) that have been assigned to Cactus. Projects concerning these JOAs will be scheduled immediately to confirm dates of construction, time frame of the JOA and to IFB 175923 – Asphalt Maintenance & Repair Services Page 15 of 18 procure materials supply when needed. At all times, JOAs awarded to Cactus will receive high priority concerning scheduling taking fiscal year end into consideration. Claims - are always a concern, however Cactus will strive to avoid them. This is done through good communication and meeting the expectations of Pinal County on every JOA. Of course variables do occur, and depending on the scope of work could require a change in plan. As partners, Pinal County and Cactus should be able to work out individual project variables to the satisfaction of each entity, avoiding claims and additional cost to the County. Over the past eight years, Cactus has never had a claim on a Pinal County JOC JOA. Dispute Resolution - goes hand in hand with the issue of claims. It is critical in a partnering atmosphere that each partner be willing to recognize variables either before or after construction begins and to negotiate a "means to an end". We believe that this will help to avoid a high percentage of potential disputes that could arise on a JOA. If a dispute were to arise, there needs to be a dispute resolution ladder in place, which is normally formulated at the pre-construction meeting. With the proper resolution channels in place, we can move to get issues settled quickly so as not to negatively affect the production schedule of the project. Over the past eight years working with Pinal County on previous JOCs, Pinal County and Cactus have been able to solve issues immediately in the field and have avoided project down time. Balancing Workloads - is critical to successfully complete JOA work at the appropriate time and on budget. Cactus is a highly diversified company with multiple crews that perform various types of work from crack sealing to hot mix overlay and concrete. Our crews are made up of highly qualified individuals that have been cross trained to work in all aspects of our pavement preservation and construction disciplines. Over the past eight years working with Pinal County on previous JOAs, Cactus has been able to schedule all required work including additional work that needed to be done quickly due to fiscal year end issues. Ways to Reduce Cost - are always paramount in a JOC. Of course Value Engineering is the primary way to evaluate construction procedure choice and what makes sense for Pinal County on specific JOAs. Concerning JOAs with set specifications, streamlining procedures and timeframe of construction will certainly reduce cost. As we look at cost savings, it is important to confirm where these savings can be realized and that Pinal County and Cactus can work together to minimize cost wherever possible. 4.0.3 QUESTION: Provide project information for up to 5 key personnel expected to be assigned to this JOC where the Contractor provided construction services similar to those listed in Section 2 of the Statement of Work.
