Contractors described in paragraphs 1-6 above shall be subject to the provisions and requirements of Part i of

minority and female utilizations as required by this Part 11constitutes a commitment that it will make every good faith
effort to meet such goals.
1. Goals and Timetables. The goals of minority utilization required of the contractor are applicable to each

4/1/79-3/31/80 5.1%
4/1/80 - 3/31181 6.9%
The goals of minority and female utilization above are expressed in terms of hours of training and employment
as a proportion of the total number of hours to be worked by the contractor's aggregate work force, which includes all
supervisory personnel, in each trade on all projects (both Federal and non-Federao in the South Bend Plan area during
the performance of its contract (i.e., the period beginning with the first day of work on the Federal or Federafly-assisted

If the contractor counts the nonworking hours of trainees and apprentices in meeting the contractors goals,
such trainees and apprentices must be employed by the contractor during the training period; the contractor must have
made a commitment to employ the trainees and apprentices at the completion of their training subject to the availability
of employment opportunities; and the trainees must be trained pursuant to training programs approved by the Bureau of
Apprenticeship and Training for "Federal Purposes" or approved as supplementing the South Bend Plan.
2.

demonstrate that the contractor has instituted all the specific affirmative actions steps specified in this Part II and as
made every good faith effort to make these steps work toward the attainment of its goals within the timetables, all to the
purpose of expanding minority utilization in its aggregate work force in the South Bend Plan area. A contractor subject
to Part I which fails to comply with its obligations under the Equal Opportunity clause of its contract including failure to
meet its fair share obligation if provided in the South Bend Plan or subject to Part II which fails to achieve its
commitments to the goals for minority utilization has the burden of proving that it has engaged in an affirmative action
program directed at increasing minority utilization and that such efforts were at least as extensive and as specific as the
folowing:
1
"Minofity is defined as including Blacks, Spanish surnamed Americans, Orientals, and American Indians, and includes
both minority men and women.

such action and impose such sanctions, which include suspension, termination, cancellation, and debarment, as may

met the good faith requirements of these Bid Conditions by instituting at least the specific affirmative action steps listed
in Part II, Section 2. The pendency of such proceedings shall be taken into consideration by Federal agencies in
determining whether such contractor can comply with the requirements of Executive Order 11246, as amended, and is
therefore a "responsible prospective contractor" within the meaning of the basic principles of Federal procurement law.
C.
Obligations Apolicable to Contractors Subject to Either Part I or Part II. It shall be no excuse that the union with
which the contractor has a collective bargaining agreement providing for exclusive referral failed to refer minority
employees. Discrimination in referral for employment, even if pursuant to provisions of a collective bargaining
agreement providing for exclusive referral failed to refer minority employees. Discrimination in referral for employment,
even if pursuant to provisions of a collective bargaining agreement, is prohibited by the National Labor Relations Act, as
amended, and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended. It is the policy of the Office of Federal Contract
Compliance Programs that contractors have a responsibility to provide equal employment opportunity if they wish to

DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
A.
Wind Load
1. Design for maximum allowable system deflection, normal to the plane of the
wall, of 1/240.
2. Design for wind load in conformance with code requirements.
B.
Moisture Control
1. Prevent the accumulation of water behind the ElF system, either by
condensation or leakage through the wall construction, in the design and
detailing of the Wall assembly.
a. Provide flashing to direct water to the exterior where it is likely to
penetrate components in the wall assembly, including, above window and door
heads, beneath window and door sills, at roofiwall intersections, decks,
abutments of lower walls with higher walls, above projecting features, and at the
base of the wall.
I
SP-17
U
I
b.
Air Leakage Prevention-see Sto Specification A1OOG if an air barrier is
desired or required in the wall construction.
c.
Vapor Diffusion and Condensation- perform a dew point analysis of the
wall assembly to determine the potential for accumulation of moisture in the wall
assembly as a result of water vapor diffusion and condensation. Adjust
insulation thickness and/or other wall assembly components accordingly to
minimize the risk of condensation. Avoid the use of vapor retarders on the
interior side of the wall in warm, humid climates.
C.
Impact Resistance
1. Provide ultra-high impact resistance to a minimum height of 6'-0" (1.8 m)
above finished grade at all areas accessible to pedestrian traffic and other areas
exposed to abnormal stress or impact. Indicate the areas with impact resistance
other than 0Standard" on contract drawings.U
D.
Color Selection
1. Select finish coat with a light reflectance value of 20 or greater. (The use of
dark colors is not recommended with ElF Systems that incorporate expanded
polystyrene [E S]. EPS has a service temperature limitation of approximately
1600 F [710C]).
E.
Joints
1. Design minimum 3/4 inch (19 mm) wide expansion joints in the EIFS where
they exist in the substrate or supporting construction, where the EIFS adjoins

Trim, Projecting Architectural Featuresand Reveals
1. All tim and projecting architectural features must have a minimum 1:2 [271
slope along their top surface. All horizontal reveals must have a minimum 1:2
[270] slope along their bottom surface. Increase slope for northern climates to
prevent accumulation of ice/snow and water on surface. Where trim/feature or
bottom surface of reveal projects more than 2 inches (51 mm) from the face of
the EIFS wall plane, protect the top surface with waterproof base coat. Avoid
the use of trim and features that exceed the madmum allowable thickness of
EPS permitted by code (typically 4 inches [100 mmD unless approved by the
code official. Periodic inspections and increased maintenance may be required to
maintain surface integrity of EIFS on weather exposed sloped surfaces. Limit
