Prime contractors and subcontractors must access the system at least monthly, when prompted, to manage contract information and provide the required subcontractor and payment information. Prime contractors are responsible for ensuring that all subcontractors comply with the utilization tracking requirements. The Certified Business utilization tracking system is online at https://washcopurch.mwdbe.com. Access information will be provided to each contractor after contract award.

    • Clean Air Construction – Fleet Registration and Compliance Determination
      1. In February of 2020, Washington County adopted the Clean Air Construction (CAC) Standard (www.portlandoregon.gov/cac). As such, all diesel nonroad equipment over 25hp and all diesel concrete mixers and dump trucks used on this project will need to meet the CAC requirements.
      2. Best Available Control Technology (BACT) approach means that for that specific vehicle or piece of equipment, that among all potential options, the emission control device that maximizes diesel particulate matter reductions was installed. A “DPF or equivalent” emission control device is defined as capturing diesel particulate matter at a level of 85% or greater.
      3. Prior to the submission deadline, the bidder/proposer shall register their CAC-applicable construction nonroad equipment and on-road vehicles in The Yard, https:/heyard.clean-air.app/, the CAC equipment registration and compliance portal. Details on how to register can be found online at: [enter link]. Failure to register may result in bid/proposal rejection. Registration involves knowing the following about each piece of applicable equipment/vehicle in your fleet:
        1. Equipment Type (e.g. excavator, dozer, loader)
        2. Fuel Type (diesel, electric, gasoline, hybrid electric, propane, etc.)
        3. On-Road or Nonroad
        4. Make
        5. Model Year
        6. Horsepower
        7. For diesel engines: Any aftermarket emissions control devices installed? (if yes, indicate type of control device, e.g. DOC, DPF, etc.).
      4. After the Notice of Intent to Award is posted, the successful Contractor will be invited to assign all applicable subcontractors and suppliers (including any equipment rental firms) to the project through The Yard. Subcontractors and suppliers will need to register the equipment and vehicles from their fleets in The Yard. At this time, the successful Contractor and their applicable subcontractors and suppliers may request an exemption for a specific piece of equipment or vehicle if it meets one of the following exemption request criteria:
        1. After following a BACT approach, the required emission control device would obscure operator lines of 
          sight or otherwise impact worker safety or the equipment is not able to be retrofit with a verified
          emission control device; or
        2. No compliant rental equipment is available within 100 miles of the job site; or
        3. After following a BACT approach, the Contractor can demonstrate that due to the uniqueness of the 
          equipment/vehicle or similar special circumstances, it is not reasonable to comply with the diesel
          engine requirement for a specific piece of equipment/vehicle.
        4. Exemptions may also be granted during the course of the project when a noncompliant piece of 
          equipment/vehicle is required to respond to an emergency. In such cases, the Contractor shall notify
          the Owner’s Representative and request approval for an exemption via The Yard. Such exemptions
          shall be valid only for the duration of the emergency, repair timeframe, or similar temporary timeframe
          as applicable.
      5. Approved exemptions shall be valid for the calendar year, at which time contractors may request to extend exemptions. Requests shall be reviewed by the CAC Program and will either be retired or renewed for another calendar year.
      6. Through this process, the Contractor shall certify that all applicable equipment and vehicles used on the project are in compliance with the Clean Air Construction requirements or have a valid exemption.

    • Clean Air Construction – Continual Compliance, On-Site Inspections, and Violations
      1. The Clean Air Construction requirements progress over time, and the Contractor shall ensure applicable equipment and vehicles used on the project are in compliance with the current requirement throughout the course of the project.
      2. During the course of the project, the County may conduct an on-site inspection of CAC-applicable equipment and vehicles to confirm accuracy of fleet information submitted to The Yard.
      3. Should the Owner’s Representative or authorized third-party discover, during the course of the project, that the Contractor, Subcontractor, or Supplier is violating the CAC engine requirements, the Owner’s Representative may issue a Notice to Cure to the Contractor. The Notice to Cure will state the specifics of the violation and the timeframe within which the Contractor has to remedy the violation. The remedy timeframe shall not exceed seven (7) calendar days. If the Contractor fails to remedy the violation per the Notice to Cure, the Owner’s Representative may issue a Stop Work notice, authorizing the stoppage of work until the violation is remedied.
