REQUIRED LABOR CONTRACT PROVISIONS

PA YMENT OF PREDETERMINED MINIMUM WAGES

A. Standard Contract Clauses (Contracts exceeding $2,000.00)

1. Minimum Wages

(i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the Contractor or developing of the project), will be paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor, United States Department of Labor, hereinafter referred to as the Secretary of Labor, under the Copeland Act (29 CFR, Part 3), the full amount of wages and bona-fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof), due at the time of payment computed at rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the Contractor and such laborers and mechanics.

Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona-fide fringe benefits under Sections (l)(b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics, are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics subject to the provisions of paragraph A(I)(iv) of this Section; also regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less than often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in A(4).

Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein:

Provided, that the employer's payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed. The wage determination (including any additional classification and wage rates conformed under paragraph A(l)(ii) of this Section), and the Davis-Bacon poster (WH-1321) shall be posted at all times by the Contractor and its subcontractor at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers.

(ii) (A) The Contracting Officer of the District of Columbia, Fire and Emergency Medical Service, hereinafter referred to as the Contracting Officer, shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to

Page 72

SOLICITATION NO. DCPL-2010-I-0016 WINDOW AND DOOR REPLACEMENTS AND

ENERGY EFFICIENT LIGHTING SYSTEMS AT VARIOUS LIBRARY BRANCHES

be employed under the contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. The Contracting Officer shall approve an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when the following criteria have been met:

(1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the wage determination;

(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and

(3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona-fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination.

(B) If the Contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or their representatives, agree with the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by the Contracting Officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U. S. Department of Labor, Washington, D. C. 20210. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within thirty (30) days of receipt and so advise the Contracting Officer or will notify the Contracting Officer within the thirty (30) day period that additional time is necessary.

(C) In the event the Contractor, or the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification or their representatives, and the Contracting Officer do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the Contracting Officer shall refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the Contracting Officer, to the Administrator for determination. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination within thirty (30) days of receipt and so advise the Contracting Officer or will notify the Contracting Officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary.

(D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate), determined pursuant to sub-paragraphs (l)(B) or (l)(C) of this paragraph, shall be paid to all workers performing work in the classification under this contract from the first day on which work is performed in the classification.

(iii)Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the Contractor shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona-fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof.

(iv) If the Contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the Contractor may consider, as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic, the amount of any cost reasonably anticipated in providing bona-fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, Provided, that the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the Contractor, that the applicable standards

Page 73

SOLICITATION NO. DCPL-2010-I-OOI6 WINDOW AND DOOR REPLACEMENTS AND

ENERGY EFFICIENT LIGHTING SYSTEMS AT VARIOUS LIBRARY BRANCHES

of the Davis-Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the Contractor to set aside, in a separate account, assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program.

2. Withholding

The Contracting Officer shall, upon his or her own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the United States Department of Labor, withhold or cause to be withheld from the Contractor, under this contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime Contractor, or any other Federally-assisted contract subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, which is held by the same Contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed by the Contractor or any subcontractor, the full amount of wages required by the contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or working on the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or developing of the project), all or part of the wages required by the contract, the Contracting Officer may, after written notice to the Contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased.

3. Payrolls and Basic Records

(i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the Contractor during the course of the work and preserved for a period of three (3) years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937, or under the Housing Act of 1949, in the construction or development of the project). Such records shall contain the name, address, and social security number of each such worker, his or her correct classification, hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona-fide fringe benefits or case equivalents thereof of the types described in Section 1(b)2(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act), daily and weekly numbers of hours worked, deductions made and actual wages paid.

Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in Section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, the Contractor shall maintain records which show that the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits. Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs, the certification of trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs.

(ii)

(A)

The Contractor shall submit weekly, for each week in which any contract work is performed, a copy of all payrolls to the District of Columbia Government if the agency is a party to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the Contractor will submit the payrolls to the applicant, sponsor, or owner, as the case may be, for

Page 74

ENERGY EFFICIENT LIGHTING SYSTEMS AT VARIOUS LIBRARY BRANCHES

transmission to the District of completely all of the information required to be maintained under 5.5(a)(3)(I) of Regulations, 29 CFR Part 5. This information may be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH-347 is available for this purpose and may be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents (Federal Stock Number 029-005-00014-1), U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. The prime Contractor is responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors.

(B) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a "Statement of Compliance" signed by the Contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons employed under the contract and shall certify the following:

(1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be maintained under 5.5(a)(3)(I)of Regulations, 29 CFR Part 5 and that such

, information is correct and complete;

(2) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper, apprentice, and trainee), employed on the contract during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages earned, without rebate, directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been made either directly or indirectly from the full wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set forth in Regulations, 29 CFR Part 3;

(3) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the classification of work performed, as specified in the applicable wage determination incorporated into the contract.

(C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional Form WH-347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the "Statement of Compliance" required by paragraphs (a)(3)(ii)(B) of this section.

(D) The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer, in writing, of all periods of which no work is performed. This notification applies to the prime Contractor and to all subcontractors.

(E) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the Contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under Section 1001 of Title 18 and Section 231 of Title 31 of the United States Code.

(iii) The Contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph A(3)(I) of this section available for inspection, copying or transcribing by authorized representatives of the Contracting Officer or the United States Department of Labor, and shall permit such representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job.

SOLICITATION NO. DCPL-2010-I-OOI6 WINDOW AND DOOR REPLACEMENTS AND

ENERGY EFFICIENT LIGHTING SYSTEMS AT VARIOUS LIBRARY BRANCHES

action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds.

Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to make such records available may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12.

4. Apprentices and Trainees

(i) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona-fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such as apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate), to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the Contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. Where a Contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the Contractor's or subcontractor's registered program shall be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the event the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the Contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is

approved.

Trainees. Except as provided in 20 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for the trainee's level of

Page 76

SOLICITATION NO. DCPL-2010-I-OOI6 WINDOW AND DOOR REPLACEMENTS AND

ENERGY EFFICIENT LIGHTING SYSTEMS AT VARIOUS LIBRARY BRANCHES

progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination.

Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee amount of fringe benefits listed on wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination, which provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed.

In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the Contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.

for the unpaid wages. In addition, such Contractor and subcontractor shall be liable to the United States (in the case of work done under contract for the District of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory) for liquidated damages.

SPECIAL STIPULATIONS PERTAINING TO WAGE RATES

RA TES OF WAGES determined by the Secretary of Labor, shall apply if the contract is in excess of $2,000.00 in amount. The Secretary of Labor has determined that the wage rates for various classes of mechanics and laborers, enumerated in the attached schedule, were prevailing in the area in which the work is to be performed at the time of Invitation for Bids.

Each class of laborers and mechanics listed in the attached schedule shall receive not less than the minimum rate of wage specified therein. In the event that it becomes necessary to employ any laborer or mechanic whose work is not covered by any of the classifications in said schedule, he shall be paid not less than the prevailing rates of wages for the class of work done by him. Such rate shall be predetermined by the Department of Labor through the Materiel Management Officer. In case any disputes arises as to what are the prevailing rates of wages for work of similar nature, which cannot be adjusted by the Contracting Officer, the matter shall be referred to the Secretary of Labor for determination, whose decisions thereon shall be conclusive on all parties.

While the wage rates listed have been determined to be the prevailing rates for the occupations specified, and the minimum allowable under this specification, it is the responsibility of the Contractors to inform themselves as to the local labor market and conditions, including any pending legislation or existing collective bargaining agreements which provide for future increase in rates.

The Contractor shall abide by and conform to all applicable laws, Executive Orders, regulations and orders of Federal Agencies authorized to pass upon and determine wage rates. No increase in the contract price shall be allowed or authorized on account of the payment of wage rates in excess of those listed.

The District of Columbia may award contracts for other work at the building and site, and this Contractor shall fully cooperate with such other Contractors and shall not commit or permit any act in connection with employment of labor, or otherwise, which will interfere with the performance of work by any other Contractor.

Bidders are required to fully inform themselves on the conditions relating to construction and labor under which work is now being performed, and this Contractor must employ such methods and means in carrying out his work as will not cause any interruption or interference with any other Contractor.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:

* an existing published wage determination * a survey underlying a wage determination

* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage

determination matter

* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries

of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in

which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices

http://www.wdol.gov/wdol/scafiles/davisbaconIDC4.dvb

712012010

Page 7 of 7

have

responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this

initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.) and

3.) should be followed.

With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process

described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction

Wage Determinations. Write to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division

U.S. Department of Labor

200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210

2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party

(those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from

the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 2.9 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7).

Write to:

Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor

200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210

The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested

party's position and by any information (wage payment data, project

description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers

relevant to the issue.

3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested

party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the

Wage Appeals Board). Write to:

Administrative Review Board U.S. Department of Labor

200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210

4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.

§ __ .200 Audit requirements.

(a) Audit required. Non-Federal entities that expend $300,000 ($500,000 for fiscal years ending after December 31, 2003) or more in a year in Federal awards shall have a single or program-specific audit conducted for that year in accordance with the provisions of this part. Guidance on

(c) Program-specific audit election. When an auditee expends Federal awards under only one Federal program (excluding R&D) and the Federal program's laws, regulations, or grant agreements do not require a financial statement audit of the auditee, the auditee may elect to have a program-

specific audit conducted in accordance with § .23S. A program-specific

(d) Exemption when Federal awards expended are less than $300.000 ($500,000 for fiscal years ending after December 31(2003). Non-Federal

8

entities that expend less than $300,000 ($500,000 for fiscal years ending after December 31, 2003) a year in Federal awards are exempt from Federal audi t requirements for that year, except as noted in § ·.215 (a>, but records must be available for review or audit by appropriate officials of the Federal agency, pass-through entity, and General Accounting Office (GAO).

(e) Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDC).

Management of an auditee that owns or operates a FFRDC may elect to treat the FFRDC as a separate entity for purposes of this part.

§_.20S

Basis for determining Federal awards expended.

(a) Determining Federal awards expended. The determination of when an

award is expended should be based on when the activity related to the award occurs. Generally, the activity pertains to events that require the nonFederal entity to comply with laws, regulations, and the provisions of contracts or grant agreements, such as: expenditure/expense transactions associated with grants, cost-reimbursement contracts, cooperative agreements, and direct appropriations; the disbursement of funds passed through to subrecipients; the use of loan proceeds under loan and loan guarantee programs; the receipt of property; the receipt of surplus property; the receipt or use of program income; the distribution or consumption of food commodities; the disbursement of amounts entitling the non-Federal entity to an interest subsidy; and, the period when insurance is in force.

(b) Loan and loan auarantees (loans). Since the Federal Government is at risk for loans until the debt is repaid, the following guidelines shall be used to calculate the value of Federal awards expended under loan programs, except as noted in paragraphs (c) and (d) of this section:

(1) Value of new loans made or received during the fisc,al year;

plus

(2) Balance of loans from previous years for which the Federal Government imposes continuing compliance requirements; plus

(3) Any interest subsidy, cash, or administrative cost allowance

received.

(c) Loan and loan guarantees (loans) at institutions of higher education. When loans are made to students of an institution of higher education but the institution does not make the loans, then only the value of loans made during the year shall be considered Federal awards expended in that year. The balance of loans for previous years is not included as Federal awards expended because the lender accounts for the prior balances.

(d) Prior loan and loan guarantees (loans). Loans, the proceeds of which were received and expended in prior-years, are not considered Federal awards expended under this part when the laws, regulations, and the provisions of contracts or grant agreements pertaining to such loans impose no continuing compliance requirements other than to repay the loans.

(e) Endowment funds. The cumulative balance of Federal awards for endowment funds which are federally restricted are considered awards expended in each year in which the funds are still restricted.

(f) Free rent. Free rent received by itself is not considered a Federal award expended under this part. However, free rent received as part
