Persons providing services on the project ("subcontractor" in §406.096) - includes all

of the Contractor providing services on the project, for the duration of the project.
C. The Contractor must provide a certificate of coverage to the governmental entity prior
to being awarded the contract.
D. If the coverage period shown on the contractor's current certificate of coverage ends
during the duration of the project, the contractor must, prior to the end of the
coverage period, file a new certificate of coverage with the governmental entity
showing that coverage has been extended.
E. The contractor shall obtain from each person providing services on a project, and
provide to the governmental entity:
Contract #6291 Black & Veatch 17
DocuSign Envelope ID: 07BCE068-213A-4518-8B7F-8E42785E3DB6
1) a certificate of coverage, prior to that person beginning work on the project, so the
governmental entity will have on file certificates of coverage showing coverage
for all persons providing services on the project; and
2) no later than seven days after receipt by the contractor, a new certificate of
coverage showing extension of coverage, if the coverage period shown on the
current certificate of coverage ends during the duration of the project.
F. The contractor shall retain all required certificates of coverage for the duration of the
project and for one year thereafter.
G. The contractor shall notify the governmental entity in writing by certified mail or
personal delivery, within 10 days after the contractor knew or should have known, of
any change that materially affects the provision of coverage of any person providing
services on the project.
H. The contractor shall post on each project site a notice, in the text, form and manner
prescribed by the Texas Workers' Compensation Commission, informing all persons
providing services on the project that they are required to be covered, and stating how
a person may verify coverage and report lack of coverage.
I. The contractor shall contractually require each person with whom it contracts to
provide services on a project, to:
1) provide coverage, based on proper reporting of classification codes and payroll
amounts and filing of any coverage agreements, which meets the statutory
requirements of Texas Labor Code, Section 401.011(44) for all of its employees
providing services on the project, for the duration of the project;
2) provide to the contractor, prior to that person beginning work on the project, a
certificate of coverage showing that coverage is being provided for all employees
of the person providing services on the project, for the duration of the project;
3) provide the contractor, prior to the end of the coverage period, a new certificate of
coverage showing extension of coverage, if the coverage period shown on the
current certificate of coverage ends during the duration of the project;
4) obtain from each other person with whom it contracts, and provide to the
contractor:
a) certificate of coverage, prior to the other person beginning work on the
project; and
b) a new certificate of coverage showing extension of coverage, prior to the
end of the coverage period, if the coverage period shown on the current
certificate of coverage ends during the duration of the project;
5) retain all required certificates of coverage on file for the duration of the project
and for one year thereafter;
Contract #6291 Black & Veatch 18
DocuSign Envelope ID: 07BCE068-213A-4518-8B7F-8E42785E3DB6
6) notify the governmental entity in writing by certified mail or personal delivery,
within 10 days after the person knew or should have known, of any change that
materially affects the provision of coverage of any person providing services on
the project; and
7) contractually require each person with whom it contracts, to perform as required
by paragraphs (1) - (7), with the certificates of coverage to be provided to the
person for whom they are providing services.
J. By signing this contract or providing or causing to be provided a certificate of
coverage, the contractor is representing to the governmental entity that all employees
of the contractor who will provide services on the project will be covered by workers'
compensation coverage for the duration of the project, that the coverage will be based
on proper reporting of classification codes and payroll amounts, and that all coverage
agreements will be filed with the appropriate insurance carrier or, in the case of a self-
insured, with the commission's Division of Self-Insurance Regulation. Providing
false or misleading information may subject the contractor to administrative penalties,
criminal penalties, civil penalties, or other civil actions.
K. The contractor’s failure to comply with any of these provisions is a breach of contract
by the contractor which entitles the governmental entity to declare the contract void if
the contractor does not remedy the breach within ten days after receipt of notice of
breach from the governmental entity.

ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Denton (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to
you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for
providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through your DocuSign, Inc.
(DocuSign) Express user account. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly,
and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms
and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the 'I agree' button at the bottom of
this document.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the
DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you
through your DocuSign user account for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such
documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of
any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may
request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign 'Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your
DocuSign account. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive
required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use your
DocuSign Express user account to receive required notices and consents electronically from us
or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through your DocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or
made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of
you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.
