I told him that although the O&G joint venture had the low bid, everything is under review and that we have 60 days to make a decision on awarding the contract. He asked what the process is, and, specifically, how the Kleen Energy "willful violation" citations will figure in that process. I told him I would get back to him tomorrow (Thursday). He and other reporters at the Courant have written in the past about "responsibility meetings" -- e.g., Barr Inc. -- so he knows a little bit about that. We can tell him that a decision has not yet been made on whether a responsibility meeting would be necessary in this case, but with the 60-day clock ticking, he knows we have to decide soon. My two cents is that more questions would be raised than not, if we do not hold such a meeting - regardless of the ultimate outcome -- so we should just tell him that we are going to bring them in for a meeting. BTW, has Nancy Arnold or anyone in the AG's office weighed in on any of this?

O&G gains support for bid to build New Haven interchange; State senator, unions pave way for firm to get highway project
Wednesday, November 17, 2010 By Ed Stannard, Register Metro Editor estannard@newhavenregister.com Several of the states labor unions have come to the support of O&G Industries of Torrington, which is awaiting a decision on whether it will be awarded a $357 million contract to build the new highway interchange near New Haven Harbor. A meeting Friday between three state legislators, an O&G executive and two labor leaders resulted in a letter from state Sen. Edith G. Prague, D-Columbia, to state Transportation Commissioner Jeffrey A. Parker, offering her unqualified support of O&G. In a story Nov. 10 on newhavenregister.com, Prague said O&G should not be given the job because it was the primary contractor in the Kleen Energy project in Middletown, where an explosion Feb. 7 killing six workers. After meeting with these gentlemen, I am convinced that O&G Industries Inc. is an excellent employer, dedicated to the safety, health and well-being of the men and women working on their construction job sites, Prague wrote. I am particularly pleased that O&G intends to have a full-time safety supervisor on site at all times during the project.

The Connecticut Laborers Union took out a full-page ad in Tuesdays Register Citizen of Torrington and todays Middletown Press, in the form of a memo, signed by 17 union leaders, pointing out that O&G has paid almost $400 million in wages over the past six years. O&G Industries has demonstrated a longstanding commitment to the safety, health and wellbeing of our members, said the memo, which had been submitted as part of O&Gs bid package. O&G, founded in 1923 and still run by family members, was the low bidder on the interchange project in a joint venture with Tutor Perini Corp. of Peekskill, N.Y. But the state Department of Transportation has been scrutinizing O&Gs safety record, asking the company to explain how it complies with a state law that bars contractors from getting bids if they have three or more outstanding unabated safety citations in the past three years. On Aug. 3, the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration cited O&G for 142 violations, 117 of them classified as willful, in the Kleen Energy accident. On Feb. 7, a subcontractor was using natural gas to purge a line when the gas ignited, triggering an explosion that could be felt for miles. Gov. M. Jodi Rell later banned using natural gas to purge gas lines. A source close to the project has confirmed that O&G was not only the contractor but one of the owners of the Kleen Energy plant and was due a bonus if the job was completed early. The second-lowest bidder, SDE Interchange Joint Venture of Secaucus, N.J., has sued Parker, seeking an injunction barring the commissioner from awarding the interchange project to O&G and Tutor Perini. SDE, which is composed of Schiavone Construction of Secaucus, N.J., DeFoe Corp. of Mount Vernon, N.Y., and Empire Paving of North Haven, bid $379 million to reconfigure the interchange of Interstate 95, Interstate 91 and Route 34. There were eight bidders in all for the project, which the DOT estimated would cost more than $500 million. Benedict Cozzi, business manager for Operating Engineers Local 478, who met with Prague, state Sen. Andrew Roraback, R-Goshen, and state Rep. Kevin Ryan, D-Montville, along with Jeffrey Merrow of Laborers Local 611 and O&G Vice Chairman Raymond Oneglia, said O&G is a fine company with an excellent safety record. Connecticut workers are indebted to the company for its record of good, well-paying jobs, he said. O&G employs on a regular basis over 300 operating engineers, Cozzi said. If theyre going to be prohibited from being awarded a contract until this thing is settled, which could be years, theyre going to go out of business. Its that simple. He pointed out that the OSHA citations are being contested and that it had hired a subcontractor with expertise in blowing out gas lines. Prague said the meeting persuaded her to take a second look. I retracted my objection as long as theres going to be a safety supervisor on the job every day, she said. I thought that that was very appropriate. It is a Connecticut company. She said Cozzi and Merrow were persuasive because they will stand up for their workers. John Acampora, an East Haven attorney who is representing SDE Interchange in its lawsuit, said the DOT needs to award the contract based on the statute, Section 31-57b, which bars state work for any company which has been cited for three or more willful or serious violations of any occupational safety and health act during the three-year period preceding the bid, provided such violations were not abated within the time fixed by the citation.

I think the issue is whether youve got the safety record to meet the requirements of the statute, Acampora said. O&Gs attorney, Kevin OConnor of Hartford, has said the OSHA violations have already been abated. Dan Carey, spokesman for O&G, would not comment on the lawsuit or the meeting, but said of the unions ad, Were certainly appreciative of what they wrote. They are probably the organization that knows us the best. Parker, who has until Dec. 13 to award the contract, said, Were in the due diligence phase to see what the response of (O&G) is, then well make a decision and well make it public. Call Ed Stannard at 203-789-5743.

On behalf of Tom, attached in the Signed Contract E JV Responsibility Determination.

To: Charlene Casamento, Bureau Chief, Bureau of Finance and Administration From: Thomas A. Harley, Mark D. Rolfe, and Mark T. Daley Date: December 3, 2010 Subject: New Haven Harbor Crossing Corridor Improvement Program Project Numbers 92-531, 92-622 & 92-627 O&G Industries, Inc. and Tutor Perini Corporation, a Joint Venture Section 13a-95 of the Connecticut General Statutes directs the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation (Department) to award a bid to the lowest bidder deemed by him to be responsible. 1 On October 13, 2010, the bids were opened for Project Numbers 92531, 92-622 and 92-627; a singular contract within the New Haven Harbor Crossing Corridor Improvement Program (hereinafter the Project and Q-Bridge Program respectively). The apparent lowest bidder was O&G Industries, Inc. (O&G) and Tutor Perini Corporation (TPC), a Joint Venture. As required by the Departments Construction Contract Bidding and Award Manual, both O&G and TPC have been prequalified by the Department. By virtue of that prequalification, the Joint Venture is eligible to receive the award of the subject contract pending a determination that each party to the Joint Venture is responsible (Responsibility Process). Information available to the Department at the time of bid was insufficient for the Department to make such a determination. As will be detailed below, a key concern to the Department was O&Gs safety practices in light of the explosion at the Kleen Energy power plant on February 7, 2010 that claimed the lives of six workers and injured many more. The financial consequences or effect on O&G as a result of that incident was also of concern relative to O&Gs financial wherewithal to complete the Project. With regard to TPC, more information was needed regarding safety and administrative performance issues (particularly with regard to the Disadvantaged, Minority, and Women Business Enterprises (D/M/WBE) requirements) that had been noted during TPCs prequalification process. 2 In order to determine whether this Joint Venture should be deemed responsible, on October 25, 2010, Thomas A. Harley, Chief Engineer and Bureau Chief for the Bureau of Engineering and Construction; Mark D. Rolfe, District Engineer, District 3, and Mark T.

Section 13a-95 provides: The commissioner may, at any time, call for bids to construct, alter, reconstruct, improve, relocate, widen or change the grade of sections of state highways or bridges. All bids shall be submitted on forms provided by the commissioner and shall comply with the rules and regulations provided in the bid specifications. The commissioner shall state the amount of the bond which shall accompany each bid and shall name the place where bids shall be received and the time and place for opening the same. Each bid shall be accompanied by a surety company bond satisfactory to the commissioner and in such sum as the commissioner determines, and shall be so conditioned that, if the contract is awarded to the bidder, such bidder shall, when required by the commissioner, execute an agreement in writing, to be prepared by said commissioner, with such bond as shall be acceptable to the commissioner, conditioned as provided in section 49-41. The commissioner may reject any and all bids if, in the commissioner's opinion, cause exists therefor; but otherwise the commissioner shall award the contract to the lowest bidder deemed to be responsible. The successful bidder shall give evidence satisfactory to said commissioner of such bidder's ability to perform the contract. When such contract is executed by the commissioner and the successful bidder, a copy of the contract, with an estimate of the cost of the work, shall be immediately filed with the commissioner. 2 Consistent with past practice, such concerns remain unresolved until said contractor submits an apparent low bid.

Daley, Chief, Fiscal and Administrative Services, acting as your designee (together, the Panel), held a meeting with representatives of O&G and TPC. A copy of the sign-in sheet for this meeting is found in the appendix labeled Attachment A-1. What follows is brief background information concerning the Project, the information obtained from the Responsibility Process and the Panels assessment of the same, along with the Panels recommendation in this matter. Summary Background a. The Project The Department is advancing the Q Bridge Program which is valued at roughly $2.2 billion. Due to the size and complexity of the Program, the Department has put the Program out to bid in phases. Multiple phases or projects are already complete and others are currently under construction. On April 28, 2010 the Department put the subject Project out to bid. The Project is the final major contract in the Q Bridge Program involving the reconstruction of the interchange of I-95, I-91 and Route 34. The work involves the construction or reconstruction of 21 bridges, 21 retaining walls, more than eight and a half miles of highway and ramps, new drainage systems, signing and lighting. It also involves the demolition of numerous existing structures and the movement of over 500,000 cubic yards of rock and earth. The roadway and bridge work taken incrementally is not particularly unique. The difficulty of the Project lies in the sheer amount of work, the aggressive milestone deadlines imposed in the contract and the need to maintain traffic operations for approximately 200,000 vehicles per day through the I-95 and connecting ramps work zone. It is imperative to provide a contractor with Notice to Proceed by late March 2011 to ensure sufficient time to complete certain portions of the work that control the progress of adjacent construction contracts; specifically the timely progression of the contract to replace the I-95 bridge over the Quinnipiac River (known as the Q Bridge). By September 2013, this Project must create the approach roadway to portions of the new Q Bridge allowing traffic to be moved to the new bridge, and further allowing for demolition of the existing Q Bridge and completion of the new structure. An incentive payment of up to $4 million will be paid for completing specified work in advance of certain milestone dates. The contract also includes penalties of over $20,000 per day if such work is not completed by the milestone dates. Additional incentive payments for completing other specified work in advance of associated milestone dates are specified in the contract. Their value is in excess of $9 million. These significant incentive payments, coupled with contractual milestone deadlines, are indicative of the importance of this contract work being started and progressed in a timely manner because other adjacent contract work is depending on its progress.

b. Responsibility Meeting and Process In conformance with the Departments Construction Contract Bidding and Award Manual , by letter dated October 21, 2010, O&G and TPC were invited to a responsibility meeting. Included with that letter were specific issues and concerns for O&G, TPC and the Joint Venture to address (Attachment A-2). While the enumerated issues and concerns were lengthy, broadly speaking, the issues and concerns fell into the following categories: 1. The Safety records and practices of both companies including how the Joint Venture would ensure safety on the Project; 2. The financial wherewithal of O&G to complete the Project in light of its remaining responsibilities at the Kleen Energy site, the announced OSHA fines and the various civil complaints that have been filed against O&G; 3. Past performance for both companies; 4. Previous Joint Venture projects; and, 5. Clarification of bid items. In addition to addressing the above areas of inquiry, at the meeting, O&G and TPC were allowed to make whatever presentation they saw fit for the relevant purposes. In advance of the meeting, the Panel had reviewed numerous documents, including, but not limited to, sections 13a-95 and 31-57b of the Connecticut General Statutes (Attachment C-1), a September 16, 2010-dated letter from Attorney Kevin OConnor (counsel to O&G) to Attorney Devin Marquez (Department of Administrative Services Staff Counsel) concerning section 31-57b (Attachment C-2), Department evaluations of O&G dating back to 2005 (Attachment C-5), OSHA compliance information found on the OSHA website for both Joint Venture companies. This information was subsequently provided by the Joint Venture and is presented in Attachment A-7, Tabs 3-9, Attachment A-8, response to question 9 (a), and Attachment A-12. The Panel also reviewed various news articles found via web search which concerned both Joint Venture companies relative to OSHA and contract compliance issues elsewhere. At the October 25, 2010 meeting, the Joint Venture presented various materials, some responsive to the Panels questions put forth with the Department October 21, 2010 letter. Said materials are identified as Attachments A-4, A-5, and A-6. Subsequent to that meeting, the Department presented the Joint Venture with additional questions in a letter dated October, 27, 2010 (Attachment A-3). On October 29, 2010 the Joint Venture responded more fully to the initial questions raised by the Department in the October 21st letter and discussed at the October 25th meeting (see Attachment A-7 for O&G responses and A-8 for TPCs responses). On November 2, 2010 the Joint Venture responded more fully regarding the follow up October 27th questions from the Department (see Attachment A-9). All of this information in addition to the pre and post-bid contract submittals (see Appendix B in its entirety), and miscellaneous reference information (see Appendix C) was duly considered by the Panel as will be detailed below.

c. The Joint Venture Per the Joint Venture Agreement between O&G and TPC, O&G is the Managing Sponsor of the Joint Venture and will be responsible for all day-to-day operations of the Project site if the Joint Venture is awarded the contract. The proposed management team for the Project is entirely comprised of O&G employees (Attachment B-1, Resumes and Organizational Chart). Therefore, while the safety record of both companies is at issue, the Panel reviewed with particular scrutiny the safety record of O&G and the steps it would take to ensure safety on this Project. Pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement between O&G and TPC, each company is jointly and severally responsible for the successful completion of the Project, if the other company should lose the financial ability to complete the Project (Attachment A-4, response to question 1b). Section 4.3 of that agreement provides, If any party hereto shall dissolve, become bankrupt, or shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, the remaining party or parties shall do all things necessary to wind up the affairs of this Joint Venture, including the completion of said construction contract, the collection of all monies and property due to the Joint Venture, the payment of all debts and liabilities of the Joint Venture, and the distribution of its assets. The Safety Records and Practices of Both Companies Including How the Joint Venture Will Ensure Safety on the Project a. Section 31-57b of the Connecticut General Statutes As noted above, on February 7, 2101, an explosion occurred at the construction site for the new Kleen Energy Power Plant. O&G was the prime contractor at the site. As a result of that incident, O&G was issued four citations by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) containing 143 violations; 117 of which violations are listed as willful, 23 are listed as serious, and the remaining three are listed as other (Attachment A-7, Tab 9, response to question 8). The Panel is aware that 31-57b of the Connecticut General Statutes, in relevant part provides: No contract shall be awarded by the state or any of its political subdivisions to any person or firm or any firm, corporation, partnership or association in which such persons or firms have an interest (1) which has been cited for three or more willful or serious violations of any occupational safety and health act or of any standard, order or regulation promulgated pursuant to such act, during the three-year period preceding the bid, provided such violations were cited in accordance with the provisions of any state occupational safety and health act or the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, and not abated within the time fixed by the citation and such citation has not been set aside following appeal to the appropriate agency or court having jurisdiction Since O&G has been cited for three or more willful or serious violations from OSHA in the last three years, the issue is whether O&G has timely abated the violations. Relevant to the Panel are the following factors: 4

- Contained on the first page of the citations issued to O&G is the following statement: Issuance of this Citation does not constitute a finding that a violation of [OSHA] occurred unless there is a failure to contest. O&G did contest (Attachment A-10). Federal OSHA has yet to make a determination as to whether, in fact, three or more serious or willful violations exist that need to be abated.

- 29 CFR 1903.19(b)(2) provides that Abatement date means: (ii) For a contested citation item for which the Occupational Safety and Health Commission (OSHRC) has issued a final order affirming the violation, the later of: (A) The date identified in the final order for abatement; (B) The date computed by adding the period allowed in the citation for abatement to the final order date; (C) The date established by a formal settlement agreement (Attachment C-6). The determinations set forth in subdivisions (A), (B) and (C) have yet to be made (Attachment C-8). In fact, the Federal Department of Labor has yet to file an initial pleading against O&G in this matter; having requested and received two extensions of time to do so. The most recent request for an extension of time states: [I]n light of the ongoing, productive nature of [ ] settlement efforts, the parties believe it is in our mutual best interest to continue our negotiations prior to the filing of a complaint. Complainant is optimistic that a settlement, partial settlement or narrowing of issues will occur in these cases (Attachment C-8). - The OSHA document entitled Employer Rights and Responsibilities Following an OSHA Inspection provides that a proper contest of any item suspends your legal obligation to abate and pay until the item contested has been resolved (Attachment C-13, pp. 11-12). As noted above, O&G properly contested the citations. - An email from Attorney Ann Rugens at the Department of Labor that indicates: [a]fter some research and consultation with our AG [Assistant Attorney General] unit, we do concur with O&G that the statute does not come into play until the matter is final and does not apply to matters under contest (Attachment C-7). 3 - The Department of Administrative Services (DAS), a sister agency to the Department, is also subject to the requirements of 31-57b. After due consideration of the applicability of this section, DAS recently has prequalified O&G; making O&G eligible for contracts let by DAS (Attachment C-4). Based on the above, because the citations have been contested, there is no date by which O&G needs to abate at this point in time, and accordingly, section 31-57b does not currently preclude the Department from awarding the subject contract.

b. Other O&G OSHA citations, their resolution, and how safety will be approached on this Project. In the past three years, O&G has undergone 23 reported federal OSHA inspections. OSHA citations were issued following nine of these inspections; all of which were contested. The citations with regard to three of these inspections remain open, and the rest
3

O&Gs position regarding section 31-57b is also set forth in Attachment A-10.

have been closed. For the closed matters, one involved five serious violations, which were reduced to one serious violation at the conclusion of the matter; one involved four serious violations, which were reduced to one serious violation at the conclusion of the matter; one involved one serious violation, which was completely eliminated at the conclusion of the matter; and the remainder of the closed matters were for other violations; only one of which resulted in a monetary fine (Attachment C-9). O&G indicated that their response to citations and alleged violations have been immediate, diligent, and thorough. (Attachment A-7, response to question 8d). Their actions minimally involved correcting specific site safety conditions and retraining staff with respect to the cited condition. Two open matters are for inspections at the Kleen Energy construction site following the February 7, 2010 explosion. The contract work at this site involved construction of a power plant structure/facility and site improvements. The work being performed at the time of the incident involved an operation called a gas blow; intended to clean pipes. O&G hired a specialized subcontractor to plan, execute and oversee the pipe cleaning process. That subcontractors duties included ensuring the safety and propriety of the pipe cleaning process (Attachment A-10 p. 3). As previously noted, OSHA alleges 117 willful, 23 serious, and three other violations at the Kleen Energy construction site. All findings have been contested by O&G; as is their right under OSHA regulations. The majority of the alleged OSHA violations arose from the use of natural gas for the gas blow (Attachment A10, p. 4). At the time of a June, 2010 study conducted by the United States Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board, 63% of the respondents from the Combined Cycle Users Group (a power plant industry group) used this gas blow method. At the time of the explosion, there were no federal safety standards prohibiting this type of procedure and no agency regulated the process used (Attachment A-10, p. 3; Attachment C-12, pp. 2 and 4). Since the explosion and prior to Governor M. Jodi Rell's order banning the gas blow procedure, O&G prohibited the use of natural gas blows to clean pipes. (Attachment A-10, p. 4). While the subject Project does not require gas blow construction activity, some of the alleged violations for which O&G was cited involve issues that pertain to general construction administration and to activity that will occur on this Project; activities such as fall protection, training, and record keeping. The third open citation involves work at Quinnipiac University. An accident occurred during the backing of heavy equipment which resulted in the death of a worker. As explained to the Panel, a foreman directed a crew member to pick up material with a forklift and transport it to another location. The foreman then walked directly behind the forklift and was struck by it. OSHA alleged two serious violations relative to that incident. Those findings have been contested and are without resolution at this time. The contract involved construction of buildings and site work. While O&G denies any wrongdoing on its part, it immediately retrained all workforce on site covering the subject hazard. The machine involved was tested for the functionality of its safety equipment and was found to be fully operational; including the backup alarm (Attachment A-7, p.7).

Based on the above and relative to the closed matters, O&Gs contest of OSHA citations has resulted in the majority of serious violations being deleted. At most, only one violation from each investigation has survived its classification as serious following O&Gs contest of the subject violations. The Panel also notes that during the week of July 31, 2009, OSHA visited the Kleen Energy construction site and not a single violation was cited (Attachment A-9, p 6, response to question I, and Attachment A-10, p. 4, n. 1). In spite of this track record, for those matters that are still under contest, the Panel acknowledges that it can draw no conclusions as to what the outcome will be. The Panel does find significant, however, the commitment that the Joint Venture has made to ensure the protection of the workers on the Project and the motoring public traveling through the Project, should the contract be awarded to it. More specifically: > O&G summarized the companys safety program in a document entitled O&Gs approach to safety (Attachment A-4, pp. 1-3). O&G strives to be at the forefront of construction safety; the company is dedicated to safety; it has an on-going safety training program; senior executives are involved in company and site safety (Attachment A-10, .pp. 1-3, and A-7, pp. 6-8). It appears from O&Gs documents and their oral representations that they have increased staffing and implemented certain efficiencies (cross training) in their safety division. They have also retooled their general and project specific safety manuals. They have done so with the help of a third party consultant with expertise in job site safety (Attachment A-7, p. 6). > O&G has a corporate Safety Program and a Health & Safety Manual. (Attachments A-5, A-6). Typically, O&G creates a project-specific safety plan. The Joint Venture has committed to developing and implementing a project-specific health and safety plan (the Safety Plan) to be created with the assistance of a qualified third party safety consultant and approved by the Department for the Project (Attachment A-9, p. 8, response to question M; Attachment A-7, p. 2, response to question 3). > Should the Joint Venture be awarded the contract, it has acknowledged that as the general contractor for the Project it is responsible for the safety of all individuals on the work site including the motoring public (Attachment A-9, p. 3, response to question B). > Management for the Project will include a full time Site Safety Manager reporting directly to the Project Manager/Director. The Site Safety Manager will work exclusively on this Project and the active work site will always be staffed with an individual whose sole responsibility is safety compliance. All safety personnel will be appropriately trained for such a role. The project safety staff will monitor and track all accidents and safety issues on site, including the activities of the subcontractors, and report that information to the Department (Attachment A-9, pp. 3-5 and 8, response to questions D, E, F and M). > The Site Safety Manager for the Project is anticipated to be Mr. Sean McNeill. According to Mr. McNeills resume, he has a Bachelors of Science in Occupational Health and Safety and has some 17 safety certifications and training (Attachment B7

1, resumes, Attachment A-9, p. 3, response to question D). O&G represents that Mr. McNeill will, among other things: - enforce strict compliance with the Safety Plan, O&Gs safety and health program, OSHA standards, and all other federal, state, and local safety codes and regulations; - handle and oversee new employee orientations, hazard recognition, remediation and site audits, and on-going training; - track safety incidents, review and report incidents, implement recommendations resulting from investigations; - report all issues to O&Gs corporate office (Attachment A-9, pp. 3-4, response to question D). With regard to his authority, O&G has represented that - Mr. ONeill will have clear and unambiguous authority to stop any work performed on this Project, including work by subcontractors and to correct any needed safety concerns; - its standard agreement with subcontracts will explicitly authorize Mr. McNeill to stop any part of the work which Contractor deems unsafe until corrective measures satisfactory to Contractor have been taken. Furthermore, O&G indicates it will issue a written directive to all workers on the site concerning Mr. McNeills authority (Attachment A-9, pp. 4, response to question D.) > O&Gs contract with its subcontractors specifically provides: Subcontractor shall comply with all applicable safety laws and regulations and with any and all safety standards established during the progress of the work by the Contractor. Subcontractor shall establish and implement a safety program for its work. If requested, Subcontractor shall submit its safety program for review by Contractor. When so ordered, Subcontractor shall stop any part of the work which Contractor deems unsafe until corrective measures satisfactory to Contractor have been taken. Should Subcontractor neglect to adopt such corrective measures, Contractor may do so and deduct the cost from payments due to Subcontractor.. (Attachment A-9, Exhibit 1, section 17). > Rider A to O&Gs contract with subcontractors includes the following provision: Any violations of the safety rules by the [subcontractor] will be sufficient reason to have said person and/or subcontractor removed from the jobsite and the subcontract terminated (Attachment A-9, Exhibit 1, Rider A). > Mr. McNeill will be supported by other O&G safety personnel in identifying hazards and taking all actions that may be needed. No directive given by Mr. McNeill or other safety staff can be overridden (Attachment A-9, p. 5, response to questions D and E). 8

> Every year since 1998, O&G has received recognition from the Connecticut Construction Industry Association for Achieving Excellence in Construction Safety and Health (Attachment A-10, p. 2). > Detailed reports will be provided to the Department of (a) safety issues found during the reporting period; (b) what action was taken to correct the same and verify that corrections occurred; and (c) identification of upcoming safety concerns and the safety measures, training, etc. that will be implemented regarding he same (Attachment A-9, p. 8, response to question M).

Relative to safety, the Panel also finds significant that: > 17 union leaders signed a document at some point after the February 7, 2010 explosion that, among other things states: We can state without question that O&G Industries, Inc. is a quality contractor who shares our concern for the well-being of the union women and men the company employs. O&G operates a quality safety program and has worked continuously to improve workplace safety at its many construction sites, plants and locations. Due to O&Gs safety plans, we are confident that our members are working in as safe of an environment as possible under O&Gs direction (Attachment A-11). > The Connecticut Department of Administrative Services, after initially making a preliminary determination under its statutes and regulations to not prequalify O&G, recently has prequalified them (Attachment C-4). > That after prequalifying O&G and then placing that prequalification on hold, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation has recently re-instated O&Gs prequalification status (Attachment C-11).

> Although not yet required to do so, O&G represents that it has abated all of the alleged violations in the OSHA citations 4 (Attachment A-7, page 6, response to question 8(d)). c. TPCs OSHA citations and safety program TPC submitted documentation of fifty one (51) OSHA violations for which TutorSaliba Corp., Perini-Tutor Saliba III Joint Venture, and Perini Building Company West received OSHA citations during 15 inspections over the course of the past three years (Attachment A-8, response to question 9(a)). Twenty-four (24) of the violations were cited as serious, twenty one (21) were cited as other and six (6) were NOVs (notice of violations) only. All violations were abated, and total fines of $38,028.50 were paid (Attachment A-12). Many of the violations pertained to work and trades associated with vertical (building) construction. However, a number of the serious violations related to scaffold, guardrail, ladder, and fall protection; issues which would apply to activities that will occur on this Project. Three of the serious violations were related to Perini/Tutor Saliba III Joint Ventures work on the Tappan Zee Bridge. These violations were immediately corrected during the course of the inspection. Fines of $1800 were paid. On another contract on the New Jersey Turnpike, a TPC employee fell to his death. The cause of the fall was represented to be a defective plank which had been miss-labeled by its manufacturer. TPC received a serious violation and paid a $7000 fine (Attachment A-8, response to question 9(a), also Attachment A-12) TPC also provided documentation showing that inspections by the State of Nevada, Division of Industrial Relations, Occupational Safety and Health Administration resulted in the issuance of Notices of Alleged Safety or Health Hazards. While the majority of these related to vertical construction of buildings, there were multiple reported safety hazards related to the maintenance and operation of cranes. The Project involves the operation of multiple cranes. TPC also submitted safety plans, training records and staff qualifications for 11 projects undertaken in the last three years. A review of these plans shows organization and staff responsibilities with regard to workplace safety for each project for both prime contractors and subcontractors. The plans document safety protocol, including safety observation and reporting; discipline for violation of job safety rules; job site orientation and indoctrination; minimum standards for safety meetings (frequency and content) first aid and sanitation; emergency procedures; protection of the public; fire prevention; hazardous material handling; environmental protection; electrical and equipment safety; fall protection; and more (Attachment A-8, response to question 9 (c) and found in the individual safety plans). Key staff assigned safety responsibilities for these projects include Certified Safety
4

As noted above, the contract at issue here contains incentives for completing specified work in advance of certain milestone dates. Concerned about a possible nexus between incentives and O&Gs OSHA violations, the Panel inquired further into this topic. O&G indicates that for the projects on which it was issued an OSHA citation in the last three years, all such projects were on schedule at the time of the alleged OSHA violations, but were not in an accelerated delivery mode. It also points out that OSHA and the Connecticut Department of Labor (by virtue of its representation on the Nevas Commission) specifically examined whether the number of hours worked at the Kleen Energy site was the cause of the explosion. Hours were not found to have contributed to the incident. As of the writing of this memo, no civil complaints filed against O&G state that excessive hours worked was a cause of the explosion. (Attachment A-7, p. 8-9; response to question 8(e).

10

professionals (certified by the Board of Certified Safety Professionals); staff with specific college degrees in Public Safety, including a Masters degree in Occupational Safety and Health; and several authorized OSHA trainers with many years of experience in the field of job safety (Attachment A-8, response to 9 (c) and found in the individual safety plans). At the corporate level, TPC maintains an independent safety department, lead by a Director of Safety, and its overall safety training program includes safety orientation for all new workers, OSHA 10 hour training for craft workers, OSHA 30 hour training for supervisors and task specific training pertinent to the work to be performed (Attachment A-8, response to question 9 (d)). Financial Capabilities/Capacity to finish the work A fundamental concern of the Panel was the financial capacity of the lowest bidder to complete the work. Of particular concern in this case are the possible outstanding liabilities of O&G resulting from the Kleen Energy incident. Accordingly, the Panel pursued information regarding this concern. At the responsibility meeting and in its responses to the Departments written questions, O&G indicated that it has no reservations whatsoever about its financial capacity and ability to complete the Project notwithstanding all potential liabilities from the Kleen Energy incident (Attachment A-7, pp. 10 12). O&G outlined the various insurance policies that were in effect at the time of the Kleen Energy incident and has represented that such coverages are more than sufficient to cover potential liabilities. No insurance carrier has denied coverage (Attachment A-7 p. 11). Relative to the potential OSHA penalties, O&G indicates that even if such penalties are not reduced or eliminated as a result of its contest of the citations, it has ample reserves to cover the same (Attachment A-7 pp. 11-12). As an indication of its financial wherewithal, it was noted that surety companies continue to support and affirm O&Gs $2 billion surety bond program and have gone on record that they will provide payment and performance bonds for the Project, should the Project contract be awarded to the Joint Venture. (Attachments A-7, p. 3 response to question 4, also p. 12; Attachment A-4 ). Such bonds ensure that the Project can be completed in the event that O&G is not able to complete the Project. Further, in accordance with Department policy, payment and performance bonds are required for 100% of the amount of the contract. Finally, as noted above, under the Joint Venture Agreement between TPC and O&G, TPC would be responsible for the Project should O&G be unable to complete the Project and pursuant to the Departments Construction Contract Bidding and Award Manual, joint venture parties are jointly and severally responsible for the performance of the entire contract. (See page 21 of the Manual). Taken together, the Panel finds that O&G, the Managing Sponsor of the Joint Venture who will be responsible for all day-to-day operations of the Project site is not in financial risk as a result of the Kleen Energy incident. The surety assurances and the terms of the Joint Venture agreement provide the Panel with confidence that financial wherewithal would not be a factor for finding the Joint Venture not responsible. Past Performance records for both companies 11

This section will examine the performance records for each of the entities involved in the apparent lowest bid, beginning with the Project sponsor, O&G. It will then review the minority partner, TPC, and then finally discuss the performance record of the Joint Venture team on previous projects. O&Gs Performance Record O&G is a large Connecticut-based contractor with a long track record working with the Department. O&Gs primary operations include heavy and highway construction, materials production, and building construction. Over the past 10 years, O&G has completed 21 Department projects totaling approximately $516 million. The projects range in size from a $127,000 emergency repair of a bridge over the Norwalk River to a $105 million project to construct the Brookfield Bypass. A list of the Department projects O&G has completed in the last 10 years is shown below.

Contract No. 0042-0265 0301-0023 0163-0164 0065-0103 0063-0529 0107-0149 0102-0313 0144-0173 0008-0083 0130-0169 0092-0526 0301-0039 0102-0316 0035-0176 0117-0154 0300-0019/03010053/0059 0102-0312/00890118 0092-0533/0569 0018-0113 0043-0122 0117-0155

Excluding emergency projects, projects not through final audit, and the Norwalk project which was terminated for convenience, the unweighted average cost growth on O&Gs projects over the last 10 years and the unweighted average time increase has been favorable to the Department. Further, despite its long history with the Department, O&G has not filed a claim on any of its projects with the Department.

12

The Department is required to evaluate the performance of all contractors. Annual and final performance ratings are prepared for prime contractors. O&Gs final performance evaluations on the projects where it was the prime contractor averaged 3.1 (out of 4) for the last five years. A rating of 3 or better indicates a good performance rating. Copies of the performance ratings are included in Attachment C-5. O&G has highlighted several projects on its corporate resume (Attachment B-1, Section II Work Performed). Among those projects are two previously completed projects in the New Haven Harbor Crossing Corridor Program, Projects C1 and C2. The contract value for these reconstruction projects was $41 million and $69 million, respectively. Both projects were on I-95 east of the Q Bridge. These projects are noteworthy in that they include similar construction as that proposed on Contract E (although at a smaller scale) and they also demonstrate familiarity with the Program management principles adopted for the Program. Other projects submitted as part of the qualifications package include several road and bridge projects along the heavily traveled I-95 corridor. These projects demonstrate a clear pattern of success reconstructing large and small bridges and the highway under the high traffic conditions present on I-95 in New Haven and Fairfield counties. The O&G qualifications package also lists projects to replace the Lake Saltonstall Bridge in East Haven and the Founders Bridge in Hartford. These projects are not included in the list of completed projects shown above because O&G was not awarded either project by the Department. In both instances, the original contractor was unable to complete the project, and the surety selected O&G to complete the remainder of the work. O&G was able to successfully navigate the difficulties of restarting a partially completed project and completing these technically challenging projects within the prescribed time frame. In particular, it should be noted that the Founders Bridge project included substantial work on the I-91 / I-84 Interchange in Hartford. Finally, over the past 10 years O&G has completed five emergency projects for the Department. O&G was selected for these projects as a result of an emergency declared by the Commissioner of Transportation. Emergency projects require the contractor to work cooperatively with the Departments engineers to develop a design and a work plan to repair the emergency condition. In each instance, O&G provided the skill, expertise and resources to complete the repairs and resolve the emergency condition. O&Gs record in successfully completing difficult projects was a key factor in its selection for multiple emergency projects. Neither O&G nor any of its officers, directors or employees have been suspended, debarred or disqualified by any state, city or federal entity in the last five years (Attachments A-7 pp.12-13, C-4, C-11)

TPCs Performance Record TPC was formed from a merger of Tutor-Saliba and Perini in 2008. Tutor-Saliba was primarily a West Coast firm specializing in large public works projects and infrastructure in California. Perini was a national firm based in Massachusetts constructing building and infrastructure projects across the country. Given the relative short existence of TPC, it is appropriate to extend the review of TPC to its predecessor companies. TPC has provided documentation of its performance record in its response to questions, in its prequalification documentation, and in the qualifications package submitted by the Joint Venture. (Attachment B-5, B6, and B-1, Section II Work Performed). References were checked for the Tappan Zee Bridge and the Passaic River Bridge projects. In both instances, representatives of the project owner indicated that the projects went well. Specifically, it was noted that Perini had deep resources with technically talented staff, and was able to meet the challenges of complex projects. Both projects were managed locally with only minimal involvement from the home office. Neither project had any claims and both owners indicated they would like to do business with TPC in the future. As part of its Prequalification materials (Attachments B-5 and B-6), TPC disclosed to the Department an investigation by the U.S. Attorneys Office for the Eastern District of New York involving TPCs contracting of work to minority and women-owned businesses D/M/WBE. The following summarizes the incident (Attachment A-8, response to question 9 (l)): In 2001, the company received a grand jury subpoena for documents in connection with an investigation by the U.S. Attorneys Office for the Eastern District of New York. The investigation concerned contracting concerns between the companys civil division and disadvantaged, minority, and women-owned businesses. The company received similar subpoenas in 2006 and 2007 as well. In December of 2008 the company was notified that there would be no criminal charges brought against them in connection with the investigation. In January of 2009 an indictment was unsealed in the Eastern District of New York. The indictment alleges fraud charges against two former employees of the company. These two employees were terminated from the company as of March 30, 2007. These employees are also no longer associated with the company. In October of 2009, a settlement agreement resolved all outstanding allegations. Under this settlement agreement, the company paid $9.75 million to the U.S. Justice Department. In a letter from the FHWA, dated December 22, 2009, it was indicated that the company is presently responsible and that suspension and debarment is not required. The company is eligible to participate in federally funded projects and programs (Attachment A8, response to question 9 (l)). Nevertheless, the Panel was concerned about this adverse history and wanted more information regarding what TPC has done to ensure compliance with the D/M/WBE program. Therefore, as part of the Responsibility Process, the Panel obtained additional information about TPCs D/M/WBE compliance program. TPC now has in place a D/M/WBE compliance program and monitoring regime to ensure full compliance with the laws pertaining to D/M/WBE subcontractors (Attachment A-8, response to question 9 (n)). This program includes, but is not limited to, a corporate 14

compliance committee, a corporate compliance manual, and a corporate compliance ethics and audit alert line. Further, new procedures and staff were added to the Civil Division of TPC relative to D/M/WBE program compliance and an outside independent consultant was retained to develop new monitoring procedures, implement such monitoring and train employees. The consultant also assisted with the creation of a formal D/M/WBE Corporate Policy Manual that outlines compliance procedures to be followed during the pre-bid, preaward, and post-award phases of a construction project. Additional submittals, such as, the M/W/DBE Procedural Review/Report, the Corporate Compliance Committee Minutes and other various supporting documentation relative to TPCs revamped DBE program is further evidence to support that TPC has successfully addressed this matter. 5 TPC reports that none of its officers, directors or employees have been suspended, debarred or disqualified by any state, city or federal entity, and TPC has not had any prequalification determination revoked or denied by any public entity in or outside of Connecticut in the last five years (Attachment A-8, response to questions 9 (k) and (m)). Previous Joint Venture Projects O&G has completed five joint venture projects with TPC and its predecessor companies (Attachments B-1, Section II Work Performed and A-7, pp. 3-4). All of the projects completed by O&G and TPC as a joint venture are heavy civil / infrastructure projects. The cumulative value of the work completed by them as a joint venture exceeds $1.5 billion (Attachment B-1). In Connecticut, both O&G and Perini were part of a joint venture team that completed the Baldwin Bridge carrying I-95 over the Connecticut River. This major bridge structure was the first concrete segmental bridge built in Connecticut and was finished nine months early. Other joint venture projects included in the qualifications package are a $782 million project along the Alameda Corridor in California. The scope of this project included the construction of a depressed rail corridor, 29 bridges and several miles of retaining walls. This project was successfully completed in 2002. (Attachment B-1, Section II Work Performed). Although this project is twice as large as the subject Project, it is particularly noteworthy because, like Contract E, it involves wall and bridge construction. O&G and TPC also completed the rehabilitation of the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge in New York (Attachment B-1, Section II Work Performed). A representative of the owner, the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority, indicated that this $137 million project was technically demanding with a very tight schedule. Perini brought substantial resources to the project and developed several innovative solutions to the project challenges. The representative noted that the project was managed locally without much involvement from either the TPC home office or O&G, the joint venture partner. There were no claims on the project and the representative indicated they would be pleased if either TPC or the joint venture submitted a bid for the next project.

The Panel knows of no issues with regard to O&G and the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program.

Unlike many joint venture relationships that exist only for a specific bid or project, O&G and TPC have a long work history of working with each other in joint ventures extending over two decades. The record indicates they have forged a productive working relationship and a history of success on large, complex projects. Although the Project Management team proposed for Contract E is different from the prior projects in that it will be led by O&G staff, it is noted that the same corporate principals and management oversight will be in place as was the case in the earlier projects completed by the O&G / TPC joint venture team. Based on the above, the Panel finds that performance of O&G, TPC and the joint venture of O&G and TPC would not be a basis for finding the Joint Venture not responsible. Clarification of select bid items Eight bidders submitted bids for the Project contract, with the O&G/TPC Joint Venture submitting the apparent lowest bid of $356,823,562.20.The second lowest bid was submitted by SDE Interchange Joint Venture at $377,990,000 and the third lowest bid was submitted by Cianbro / Middlesex X, A Joint Venture at $387,458,760. A complete listing of the bids received is found in Attachment B-8. In accordance with Department practice, an analysis of the bids received was performed by the Office of Quality Assurance. A copy of that analysis including a tabulation of all bid items for the five (5) lowest bidders is included as Attachment B-9. In addition, because the Project is part of the New Haven Harbor Corridor Crossing Improvement Program, the Department also requested that the program management consultant, Parsons Brinkerhoff (Program Manager), conduct an independent assessment of the bid results. A copy of the PB analysis is included as Attachment B-10. The apparent lowest bid is the Departments official estimate and the estimate developed by the Program Manager. As mentioned above, the analyses were performed independently using a similar, although not identical, approach to the bid analysis. Both analyses focused on the major items in the bid and recommended several items for additional inquiry. Neither analysis found any mathematical errors or any basis for concluding that the bid was materially unbalanced. At the October 25, 2010 Responsibility Meeting, the Joint Venture was queried regarding several items contained in its bid. In particular, it was noted that the items for structural steel were bid lower than expected; especially at Site Nos. 1 and 7. The Joint Venture responded that many changes were received late from subcontractors and suppliers on the morning of the bid. Rather than making last minute changes to many items and risk an error in its bid, the Joint Venture chose to adjust only several items. In this case, almost all of the late adjustments were downward, resulting in deductions to the bid items for structural steel for Site Nos. 1 and 7. The Joint Venture reiterated this response in its October 29, 2010 letter to the Department. (Attachment A-7, page 14, response to question 11). Relative to these bid items, the letter concludes that [t]hough the value of the Structural Steel items appear [sic] skewed from the other bidders, the Joint Venture is prepared to perform all of the Structural Steel items in accordance with plans and specification for the values shown in the bid. 16

Subsequent to the October 25th meeting and receipt of the Joint Ventures responses to the Departments written inquiries, the Department and the Program Manager completed their respective bid analyses. In several instances additional questions were raised concerning the amount bid for certain items. As of this writing, none of the additional questions raised concerning the Joint Ventures bid appeared to be a major cause for concern and it is expected that if the decision is made to award the subject contract, the issues will be resolved as part of the normal pre-award discussions with the contractor. The bid submitted by the Joint Venture has been reviewed and checked mathematically. No discrepancies were identified. Further, there is no indication that the bid is materially unbalanced. The Panel therefore concludes that there are no issues with the bid that would impact a responsibility determination. Conclusion and Recommendation Based on the above, it is the Panels recommendation that the contract for this Project be awarded to the Joint Venture. Significant detail is provided above in support of this recommendation. By way of summary, however, the following general conclusions support this recommendation: Safety: While the Panel does not believe that any safety program can ever guarantee that accidents will not occur, the Panel believes that O&Gs approach to safety on this Project will provide the greatest assurances possible that worker safety and that of the motoring public will be of utmost importance and that safety lapses will not be tolerated. Financial wherewithal: The Panel no longer has any concerns about the financial capability of the Joint Venture to complete the Project. Performance: Both O&G and TPCs past performance provide no reason for not awarding this contract to the Joint Venture. Based on the information presented, the Panel has no concerns over whether the DBE requirements for this Project will be met. Bid Items: Major concerns regarding bid items have been resolved and the remaining issues (which will be addressed during the standard pre-award process) provide no reason to not award the contract to the Joint Venture.

Pat, Please see the attached spreadsheet noting the following..... The first tab represents the Contract E April 2010 Post FDP estimate (used for federal authorization) compared to the November 2010 Low Bid Estimate and identifies projected savings per year through the estimated length of the contract. We were able to obligate additional funds on the three Contract E projects of approximately $112m in FY2010 due to funds available at the end of the year, (shaded in purple). This allows us the ability to now apply Contract E FY2011 projected funds of $112m back to the program, (shaded in orange).

Funding available to the program due to the low bid ($161m) is shaded in blue and shown in FY2011-2017. This equates to a total of $273 million available to program over FY2011-2017. 2. The second tab "Work added", contains a listing of projects identified as of today to program towards the projected savings. These projects total approximately $220 million. The other $53 million available to program will be used for preservation work yet to be determined. 3. The third tab represents the Moses Wheeler Bridge Replacement potential savings based on the PS&E estimate which is lower than the programmed estimate we are currently carrying.
