The Division of Local Assistance has published an Office Bulletin regarding the implementation of the revised Form FHWA-1273.

Announcement: DLA-OB 12-05 – “Revised Form FHWA-1273 for Federal-aid Construction Contracts” has been posted to the Local Assistance website at http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/LocalPrograms/DLA_OB/DLA_OB.htm.

The revised Form FHWA-1273 dated May 1, 2012 shall be physically included in the contract of all Federal-aid construction projects authorized on or after August 9, 2012; and of all Federal-aid construction projects advertised on or after September 1, 2012

Change: The current Form FHWA-1273 has been superseded by a revised Form FHWA-1273 dated May 1, 2012 which is to be physically included in the Federal-aid construction contract.

Impacts: Failure to include the revised Form FHWA-1273 dated May 1, 2012 in the contract could make the contract ineligible for federal reimbursement.
