Approval of a Contract between Monroe County and DC707LLC (dba Mangrove Marina) to provide
land based pump-out services for the Key Largo pump-out boat.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
Utilizing CV A grant funding, the Department of Marine Resources will acquire land based pump-out

vessel is not possible. The County will pay for the removal of holding tank effluent at Mangrove
Marina at a price of $450.00 per occurrence (approx. 2,500 gallons). In return, the pump-out vessel
will be allowed to pump-out to the marina's holding tank as often as necessary. The CVA grant
funding source allows for payment of haul-out costs for any marina with a pump-out facility. The
County will benefit from the contractual relationship by being allowed to pump-out at the facility.

ITEM BACKGROUND:
The BOCC approved the final long term agreement with the firm of DRC to provide disaster assistance
for the removal of marine debris at its September 2006 meeting. The contract allows amendment for
vessels of "special consideration." At the time of final contract approval, the list of "special
consideration" vessels was not complete. Thus, we are bringing back an amendment to provide
additional funds to remove 12 vessels that will take extraordinary time to remove. The price for these
vessels, removed from the water, crushed and transported to the waste transfer station will be $350.00
per foot. The additional cost will be $125 per foot. The anticipated total expenditure for all 12 vessels
is approximately $111,650. This number equates to an additional $39,875 over the original estimate.
The County will assume approximately $4,984 of this total additional expense.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NOT TO SELL
RIGHT-OF-WAY ADJACENT TO U.S. I AT
APPROXIMATELY MILE MARKER 102.9, BA YSIDE.
WHEREAS, the Monroe County Board of Commissioners has passed Resolution 565-
1999 on November 10, 1999 establishing the policy of Monroe County to request that the Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT) deny any requests to surplus properties adjacent to U.S. 1
until the Board of Commissioners has taken action on the Overseas Heritage Trail and
Stormwater Master Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners makes the following
Findings of Fact;
1. The Florida Department of Transportation has determined that the sale or lease of
excess lands is prudent in order to reduce the liability and maintenance costs for FOOT.
2. The Florida Department of Transportation requests a recommendation from Monroe
County prior to the sale of available rights-of-way in Monroe County.
3. The current owner( s) of property, at the southwest comer of George St. and US-!
approximately Mile Marker 102.9 has expressed interest in purchasing the adjacent US-l right of
way (ROW).
4. The Board has recommended denial of previous requests to purchase ROW in Key
Largo until the completion of the Key Largo Livable CommuniKeys Plan and Corridor Master
Plan.
5. The completion of the Key Largo Corridor Master Plan has identified the need for a
detailed study to focus on upgrades to the corridor.
6. It is uncertain how much of the available right-of-way will be required to implement
improvements along the corridor, however, staff has determined it is likely that the ROW at mile
Marker 102.9 will be so needed.

COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA, that Monroe County requests the
Florida Department of Transportation not to declare the available right-of-way at approximately

RE:
Surplus of Florida Department of Transportation (FOOT) Right-of-Way at approximately Mile
Marker 102.9, Bayside
DATE:
October 17, 2006
Issue:
The property owner at the southwest corner of George S1. and US-I at approximately Mile Marker] 02,9 is
requesting to purchase the adjacent Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) right-of-\vay (ROW). The sale
of ROW is at the discretion of FDOT, however, FDOT consults with the County and requests a recommendation
on the sale of available ROW.
Background:
The subject property is at Mile Marker ]02.9 at the southwest corner of George S1. and US-l and is adjacent to
approximately 120' of undeveloped ROW (See attached map). The ROW is currently covered by vegetation
which includes large trees.
The property owner is requesting to purchase the property in order to better maintain the adjacent ROWand to
improve the landscaping along U S- L The property owner would also I ike to install signage for the adjacent real
estate office. As a concession for supporting the sale of ROW, the propeliy owner has proposed to include a bus
shelter and additional landscaping in developing any portion of the ROW.
Recommendation:
Staff has objected to the sale of any ROW in Key Largo prior to the completion of the Key Largo Livable
Commun iKeys Plan (LCP) and the US-l Corridor Master Plan (CMP), With the completion and subseq uent
approval of these studies at first public hearing (HOCC meeting August 2006). StafT will rely on the LCP and
CMf> for a recommendation on the sale of ROW.
The LCP identifies improving the US-] corridor as one of the main community needs. The LCP states that in
order to achieve improvements on US-] "a detailed and engineering study must be made of the entire corridor
W:\GROWTI I MANAGF:MEN.T"\Gco\Uppcr Keys:l 02.9 Key Largo-BaysiddU1W Rcquesl.Staff RepofLdoe

with specific focus on the conceptual upgrades proposed in the corridor design plan. 'rhe study mllst include
identification of alJ rights-of-way, identification of existing encroachments or use, evaluation of trafflc routing
options for proposed frontage road locations, incorporation of the bicycle/pedestrian movement including the
design of safe crossovers and identification of opportunities for funding and implementation:' FUlihermore,
existing transit stops and potential future transit stops should also be incorporated into the study.
Staff has begun working with a transpOliation consultant to design templates that may be used for improving
landscaping, bike-ped facilities, overtlm:v parking as well as possible alternatives for a frontage road. It is the goal
of the study that these templates could be applied in various areas to implement the findings of the LCP.
Due to the uncertainties of what improvements would be feasible along this stretch of US-l and the amount of
ROW required to implement such improvements, staff does not recommend the sale of the subject property.
Should the BOCC decide to sell the available ROW, statT recommends that an casement be placed on the ROW to
protect future infrastructure improvements slIch as storm\vater, bike/ped. facilities or landscaping improvements.
Furthermore, staff would recommend that no permanent structures be placed within the subject ROW.

Subject: Dot Parcel

We are requcsting that Monroe County give the us go ahead to purchase 50FT by 120FT in front of Lot
1 & 2 Block 11 of Twin Lakes. Our physical address is 102970 Overseas Highway Key Largo, FL
33037.
As you are aware this DOT parcel has been neglected for the last 2 years and possibly for longer. With
large broken trees branches, 3-4 ft weeds and grass, and garbage, this parcel is neglected. Apart from
having a negative reflection on our property, the condition of this parcel does not reflect positively on
Key Largo.
As you are aware, there are properties just south of us that you have granted the purchase of the DOT
land. One example is Rock Harbor Paint.
With the purchase of this parcel, we have agreed to the following:
1. We would landscape the berm on the property similar to the Double Tree Resort and will maintain
the property in excellent condition.
2. We would consider a school bus shelter, with a similar keys look as our building, for the children
with a bike rack so the kids in our neighborhood don't have to wait in the rain when they are
waiting for the bus.
3. We will grant an easement for any future bike or walking paths.
4. We will place a sign on the property again keeping with our keys look.
Please respond as soon as possible.

consultant shall perform any such analysis. The Engineer will determine the final
disposition of the material after review of the information submitted by the
Contractor. No additional monetary compensation or time extension will be
granted for the impact of any such analysis or review.
6-12 Products and Source of Supply.
6-12.2 Source of Supply - Steel (Federal-Aid Contracts Only): For
Federal-aid Contracts, only use steel and iron produced in the United States, in
accordance with the Buy America provisions of 23 CFR 635.410, as amended.
Ensure that all manufacturing processes for this material occur in the United
States. As used in this specification, a manufacturing process is any process that
modifies the chemical content, physical shape or size, or final finish of a product,
beginning with the initial melding and mixing and continuing through the
bending and coating stages. A manufactured steel or iron product is complete
only when all grinding, drilling, welding, finishing and coating have been
completed. If a domestic product is taken outside the United States for any
process, it becomes foreign source material. When using steel and iron as a
component of any manufactured product incorporated into the project (e.g.,
concrete pipe, prestressed beams, corrugated steel pipe, etc.), these same
provisions apply, except that the manufacturer may use minimal quantities of
foreign steel and iron when the cost of such foreign materials does not exceed
0.1% of the total Contract amount or $2,500, whichever is greater. These
requirements are applicable to all steel and iron materials incorporated into the
finished work, but are not applicable to steel and iron items that the Contractor
uses but does not incorporate into the finished work. Provide a certification from
the producer of steel or iron, or any product containing steel or iron as a .
component, stating that all steel or iron furnished or incorporated into the
furnished product was manufactured in the United States in accordance with the
requirements of this specification and the Buy America provisions of 23 CFR
635.410, as amended. Such certification shall also include (1) a statement that
the product was produced entirely within the United States, or (2) a statement
that the product was produced within the United States except for minimal
quantities of foreign steel and iron valued at $ (actual value). Furnish each such
certification to the Engineer prior to incorporating the material into the project.
When FHWA allows the use of foreign steel on a project, furnish invoices to
document the cost of such material, and obtain the Engineer's written approval
prior to incorporating the material into the project.
6-12.3 Unfit, Hazardous, and Dangerous Materials: Do not use any
material that, after approval and/or placement, has in any way become unfit for
9
use. Do not use materials containing any substance that has been determined to
be hazardous by the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection or
the U.S. Department of Environmental Protection. Provide workplaces free from
serious recognized hazards and to comply with occupational safety and health
standards[ as determined by the U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety
and Heath Administration.

for inspection by authorized representatives to the Department and the Federal
Highway Administration. Upon request, submit to the Department a report of the
number of minority and nonminority group employees currently engaged in each
work classification required by the Contract work.
8. EOUIPMENT RENTAL RATES:
8-1 Guidelines
8-1.1 General. In 1986, an Office of the Inspector General (DIG) audit of
rental rates used by state agencies (STAs) found that a significant number of
contractors were being reimbursed for equipment usage based on predetermined
rates which included ineligible costs. Ineligible costs* included use of
contingencies and replacement cost escalator factors, and premium rental rates
for rental periods less than one month.
The FHWA subsequently advised all field offices on August 22, 1986, that STAs
which use predetermined rate guides must modify the equipment rental rates to
eliminate the identified ineligible costs. PRIMEDIA Information Inc., San Jose,
CA, the publisher of the Rental Rate Blue Book (Blue Book), responded by
developing rate adjustment tables which corrected the discovered shortcomings.
The adjustment tables were subsequently found acceptable by the DIG. The
FHWA field offices were advised of this determination on December 23, 1986.
Further rental rate guidance was issued by Headquarters! memorandum dated
November 7, 1988. The Department accepts the Rental Rate Blue Book as the
maximum rental rate allowable under this contract.
8-1.2 Federal policy requires that actual costs be used to determine extra work
payments; however, typically actual equipment costs are not readily available.
Therefore, the FHWA permits the STAs to specify in their construction contracts
12
the predetermined rate guides as well as equipment rate schedules developed by
STAs which are in conformance with the Federal cost principles and the FHWA's
policy contained herein.
The Federal cost principles applicable to rental rates for contractor furnished
equipment are contained in 48 CFR1 Part 31. The provisions in OMB Circular 87
apply when State-owned equipment is used.
8-1.3 Rental Rate Guides: Department must make the determination that
the equipment rental rates developed or adopted fairly estimate a contractor's
actual cost to own and operate the equipment within its State. The FDOT will
review their State's rates for compliance with the policy.
8-1.4 Adjustment Factors: Equipment is not expected to operate for 12
consecutive months. Maps at the beginning of each Blue Book equipment section
indicate adjustment factors based on climate and regional costs. Rate adjustment
tables indicate adjustment factors based on equipment age. The adjustment
factors in the maps and tables are to be applied when determining the eligible
rate.
8-1.5 Maximum Rate: The Blue Book adjusted rates cover all eligible
equipment related costs. Thereforel they are considered to be the maximum
eligible rates for Federal-aid participation purposes.
8-1.6 Hourly Rates: The developer of the Blue Book accumulates all
contractor costs for owning a piece of equipment on an hourly basis. The
monthly rate displayed in the rental guide is determined by multiplying the
hourly accumulated costs by the monthly standard of 176 hours. TIl,<=.r,<=fo~el fOL
periods of equipment use less than the standard 176 hours per monthl Federal-
aid participation shall be limited to the hourly rate obtained by dividing the
monthly rate by 176. Premium rates contained in the rate guides shall not be
used.
8-1.7 Standby Equipment Rates: The contractor continues to incur certain
ownership costs when equipment is required to be on standby. The use of a
standby rate is appropriate when equipment has been ordered to be available for
force account work but is idle for reasons which are not the fault of the
contractor. While an industry standard does not exist for standby rates I it has
been the normal practice of the courts to reduce published ownership rental
guide rates by 50 percent for standby rate usage. Thereforel the FHWA will
accept use of 50 percent of the ownership rental rates of an approved guide as
the standby rate in lieu of a contractor's actual standby costs. There should be
13
no operating costs included in the rate used and standby time should not exceed
8 hours per day, 40 hours per week, or the annual usage hours as established by
the rate guide.
8-1.8 Mobilization: The costs required to mobilize and demobilize equipment
not available on the project is eligible for reimbursement. Standby rates should
be used for equipment while being hauled to and from the project. This will be in
addition to applicable rates for the hauling equipment. All costs associated with
the assembly and disassembly of the equipment for transport should also be
considered in the mobilization costs.
8..1.9 Overhead: Equipment overhead includes such items as insurance,
property taxes, storage, licenses and record keeping. The Blue Book rates
include all equipment overhead costs. Therefore, when a project or home office
overhead rate is applied to a Blue Book rate, the State must assure that it
contains no equipment overhead cost factors. The Department shall determine
the reasonableness of such a rate.
8-1.10 Profit: Profit on equipment rental is not provided for in the Blue Book
published rates. There is no Federal regulation which prevents the addition of an
amount for profit. If a State has a policy for the payment of profit, it should be
followed on Federal-aid contracts. If a profit amount is to be used, the
reasonableness must be determined by the Department based on experience.
8-1.11 Contractor Leased Equipment: When a contractor obtains
equipment through a third party rental agreement for use in a force account
situation, the cost will normally be the invoice cost. The invoice cost should be
comparable with other rental rates of the area. The Associated Equipment
Distributors (AED) Rental Rate and Specifications may be used to evaluate the
costs for such equipment rental. Since rental agreements vary, the specific
operating costs included in the rental agreement may need to be determined.
There may be additional eligible operating costs not covered by the agreement
which the contractor incurs and should be reimbursed (i.e., fuel, lubrication, field
repairs, etc).
[Note: The AED book is not acceptable as a rate guide for contractor owned
equipment. The AED rates are based on national averages of rates charged by
equipment distributors and do not reflect the contractors cost of owning and
operating the equipment.]
9. fOREIGN CONTRACTOR AND SUPPLIER RESTRICTION.
14
There are no restrictions at this time. However, if restrictions occur in the
future, Contractor agrees to amend the Contract to reflect such restrictions.
10. STATE OR LOCAL HIRING PREFERENCE:
State or local hiring preference is not allowed.
11. CHANGED CONDITIONS:
004 SCOPE OF THE WORK.
4-3.2 Increase, Decrease or Alteration in the Work: The Engineer reserves
the right to make alterations in the character of the work which involve a
substantial change in the nature of the design or in the type of construction or
which materially increases or decreases the cost or time of performance. Such
alteration shall not constitute a breach of Contract, shall not invalidate the
Contract or release the Surety.
Notwithstanding that the Contractor shall have no formal right whatsoever to any
extra compensation or time extension deemed due by the Contractor for any
cause unless and until the Contractor follows the procedures set forth in 5-12.2
for preservation, presentation and resolution of the claim, the Contractor may at
any time, after having otherwise timely provided a notice of intent to claim or
preliminary time extension request pursuant to 5-12.2 and 8-7.3.2, submit to the
Department a request for equitable adjustment of compensation or time or other
dispute resolution proposal. The Contractor shall in any request for equitable
adjustment of compensation, time, or other dispute resolution proposal certify
under oath and in writing, in accordance with the formalities required by Florida
law, that the request is made in good faith, that any supportive data provided
are accurate and complete to the Contractor's best knowledge and belief, and
that the amount of the request accurately reflects what the Contractor in oood .
faith believes to be the Department's responsibility. Such certification must be
made by an officer or director of the Contractor with the authority to bind the
Contractor. Any such certified statements of entitlement and costs shall be
subject to the audit provisions set forth in 5-12.14. While the submittal or review
of a duly certified request for equitable adjustment shall neither create, modify,
nor activate any legal rights or obligations as to the Contractor or the
Department, the Department will review the content of any duly certified request
for equitable adjustment or other dispute resolution proposal, with any further
action or inaction by the Department thereafter being in its sole discretion. Any
request for equitable adjustment that fails to fully comply with the certification
requirements will not be reviewed by the Department.
The monetary compensation provided for below constitutes full and complete
payment for such additional work and the Contractor shall have no right to any
additional monetary compensation for any direct or indirect costs or profit for
15
any such additional work beyond that expressly provided below. The Contractor
shall be entitled to a time extension only to the extent that the performance of
any portion of the additional work is a controlling work item and the performance
of such controlling work item actually extends completion of the project due to
no fault of the Contractor. All time related costs for actual performance of such
additional work are included in the compensation already provided below and
any time extension entitlement hereunder will be without additional monetary
compensation. The Contractor shall have no right to any monetary compensation
or damages whatsoever for any direct or indirect delay to a controlling work item
arising out of or in any way related to the circumstances leading up to or
resulting from additional work (but not relating to the actual performance of the
additional workl which is paid for as otherwise provided herein)1 except only as
provided for under 5-12.6.2.1.
4-3.2.1 Allowable Costs for Extra Work: The Engineer may direct in writing
that extra work be done and, at the Engineers sole discretion, the Contractor will
be paid pursuant to an agreed Supplemental Agreement or in the following
manner:
(a) Labor and Burden: The Contractor will receive payment for actual costs of
direct labor and burden for the additional or unforeseen work. Labor includes
foremen actually engaged in the work; and will not include project supervisory
personnel nor necessary on-site clerical staffl except when the additional or
unforeseen work is a controlling work item and the performance of such
controlling work item actually extends completion of the project due to no fault
of the Contractor. Compensation for project supervisory personnell but in no
case higher than a Project Managers position, shall only be for the pro-rata time
such supervisory personnel spent on the contract. In no case shall an officer or
director of the Company, nor those persons who own more than 1 % of the
CompanYI be considered as project supervisory personnel, direct labor or
foremen hereunder.
Payment for burden shall be limited solely to the following:
Table 4-3.2.1
Item Rate
FICA Rate established by Law
FUTA/SUTA Rate established by Law
Medical Insurance Actual
Holidays, Sick & Actual
Vacation benefits
Retirement Actual
benefits
Workers Rates based on the National Council on Compensation
Compensation Insurance basic rate tables adjusted by Contractor1s actual
experience modification factor in effect at the time of the
16
additional work or unforeseen work.
Per Diem Actual but not to exceed State of Florida's rate
Insurance* Actual
*Compensation for Insurance is limited solely to General Liability Coverage and
does not include any other insurance coverage (such as, but not limited to,
Umbrella Coverage, Automobile Insurance, etc.).
At the Pre-construction conference, certify to the Engineer the following:
(1) A listing of on-site clerical staff, supervisory personnel and their pro-rated
time assigned to the contract,
(2) Actual Rate for items listed in Table 4-3.2.1,
(3) Existence of employee benefit plan for Holiday, Sick and Vacation benefits
and a Retirement Plan, and,
(4) Payment of Per Diem is a company practice for instances when compensation
for Per Diem is requested.
Such certification must be made by an officer or director of the Contractor with
authority to bind the Contractor. Timely certification is a condition precedent to
any right of the Contractor to recover compensations for such costs/ and failure
to timely submit the certification will constitute a full, complete, absolute and
irrevocable waiver by the Contractor of any right to recover such costs. Any
subsequent changes shall be certified to the
Engineer as part of the cost proposal or seven calendar days in advance of
performing such extra work.
(b) Materials and Supplies: For materials accepted by the Engineer and used on
the project, the Contractor will receive the actual cost of such materials
incorporated into the work, including Contractor paid transportation charges
(exclusive of equipment as hereinafter set forth). For supplies reasonably "needed.
for performing the work, the Contractor will receive the actual cost of such
supplies.
(c) Equipment: For any machinery or special equipment (other than small tools),
including fuel and lubricant, the Contractor will receive 100% of the "Rental Rate
Blue Book" for the actual time that such equipment is in operation on the work,
and 50% of the "Rental Rate Blue Bookff for the time the equipment is directed
to standby and remain on the project site, to be calculated as indicated below.
The equipment rates will be based on the latest edition (as of the date the work
to be performed begins) of the "Rental Rate Blue Book for Construction
Equipment" or the "Rental Rate Blue Book for Older Construction Equipment,"
whichever is applicable, as published by Machinery Information Division of
PRIMEDIA Information, Inc. (version current at the time of bid), using all
instructions and adjustments contained therein and as modified below. On all
17
projects, the Engineer will adjust the rates using regional adjustments and Rate
Adjustment Tables according to the instructions in the Blue Book.
Allowable Equipment Rates will be established as set out below:
(1) Allowable Hourly Equipment Rate = Monthly Ratej176 x Adjustment Factors x
100%.
(2) Allowable Hourly Operating Cost = Hourly Operating Cost x 100%.
(3) Allowable Rate Per Hour = Allowable Hourly Equipment Rate + Allowable
Hourly Operating Cost.
(4) Standby Rate = Allowable Hourly Equipment Rate x 50%.
The Monthly Rate is The Basic Machine Rate Plus Any Attachments. Standby
rates will apply when equipment is not in operation and is directed by the
Engineer to standby at the project site when needed again to complete work and
the cost of moving the equipment will exceed the accumulated standby cost.
Standby rates will not apply on any day the equipment operates for eight or
more hours. Standby payment will be limited to only that number of hours which,
when added to the operating time for that day equals eight hours. Standby
payment will not be made on days that are not normally considered work days
on the project.
The Department will allow for the cost of transporting the equipment to and from
the location at which it will be used. If the equipment requires assembly or
disassembly for transport, the Department will pay for the time to perform this
work at the rate for standby equipment.
Equipment may include vehicles utilized only by Labor, as defined above.
(d) Indirect Costs, Expenses, and Profit: Compensation for all indirect costs,
expenses, and profit of the Contractor, including but not limited to overhead of
any kind, whether jobsite, field office, division office, regional office, home office,
or otherwise, is expressly limited to the greater of either (1) or (2) below:
(1) Solely a mark-up of 17.5% on the payments in (a) through (c), above.
(i) Bond: The Contractor will receive compensation for any premium for acquiring
a bond for such additional or unforeseen work; provided, however,dthat such
payment for additional bond will only be paid upon presentment to the
Department of clear and convincing proof that the Contractor has actually
provided and paid for separate bond premiums for such additional or unforeseen
work in such amount.
(ii) The Contractor will be allowed a markup of 10% on the first $50,000 and a
markup of 5% on any amount over $50,000 on any subcontract directly related
to the additional or unforeseen work. Any such subcontractor mark-up will be
allowed only by the prime Contractor and a first tier subcontractor, and the
Contractor must elect the markup for any eligible first tier subcontractor to do
so.
(2) Solely the formula set forth below and only as applied solely as to such
number of calendar days of entitlement that are in excess of ten cumulative
calendar days as defined below.
BCADx=
18
Where A :::: Original Contract Amount
B :::: Original Contract Time
C= 8%
D = Average Overhead Per Day
Cumulative Calendar Days is defined as the cumulative total number of calendar
days granted for time extension due to delay of a controlling work item caused
solely by the Department is, or the cumulative total number of calendar days for
which entitlement to a time extension due to delay of a controlling work item
caused solely by the Department is otherwise ultimately determined in favor of
the Contractor to be.
Further, in the event there are concurrent delays to one or more controlling work
items, one or more being caused by the Department and one or more being
caused by the Contractor, the Contractor shall be entitled to a time extension for
each day that a controlling work item is delayed by the Department but shall
have no right to nor receive any monetary compensation for any indirect costs
for any days of concurrent delay. No compensation, whatsoever, will be paid to
the Contractor for any jobsite overhead and other indirect impacts when the total
number of calendar days granted for time extension due to delay of a controlling
work item caused solely by the Department is, or the total number of calendar
days for which entitlement to a time extension due to delay of a controlling work
item caused solely by the Department is otherwise ultimately determined in favor
of the Contractor to be, equal to or less than ten calendar days and the
Contractor also fully assumes all monetary risk of any and all partial or single
calendar day delay periods, due to delay of a controlling work item caused solely
by the Department, that when cumulatively totaled together are equal to or less
than ten calendar days and regardless of whether monetary compensation is
otherwise provided for hereunder for one or more calendar days of time
extension entitlement for each calendar day exceeding ten calendar days. All
calculations under this provision shall exclude weather days, and days granted
for performing additional work. . .
4-3.2.2 Subcontracted Work: For work performed by a subcontractor,
compensation for the additional or unforeseen work shall be solely limited to as
provided for in 4-3.2.1 (a), (b), (c) and (d)(l), with the exception of, in the
instance of subcontractor performed work only, the subcontractor may receive
compensation for any premium for acquiring a bond for the additional or
unforeseen work; provided, however, that such payment for additional
subcontractor bond will only be paid upon presentment to the Department of
clear and convincing proof that the subcontractor has actually provided and paid
for separate bond premiums for such additional or unforeseen work in such
amount.
The Contractor shall require the subcontractor to provide a certification, in
accordance with 4-3.2.1(a), as part of the cost proposal and provide such to the
Engineer. Such certification must be made by an officer or director of the
19
subcontractor with authority to bind the subcontractor. Timely certification is a
condition precedent to any right of the Contractor to recover compensation for
such subcontractor costs, and failure to timely submit the certification will
constitute a full, complete, absolute and irrevocable waiver by the Contractor of
any right to recover such subcontractor costs.

time, or other events, forces or factors sometimes experienced in construction
work. Such delays or events and their potential impacts on the performance by
21
the Contractor are specifically contemplated and acknowledged by the parties in
entering into this Contract, and shall not be deemed to constitute willful or
intentional interference with the Contractor's performance of the work without
clear and convincing proof that they were the result of a deliberate act, without
reasonable and good-faith basis, and specifically intended to disrupt the
Contractor's performance.

II. NONDISCRIMINATION
(Applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts and to all related subcontracts of $1 0,000 or
more.)
1. Equal Employment Opportunity: Equal employment opportunity (EEO) requirements
not to discriminate and to take affirmative action to assure equal opportunity as set forth
under laws, executive orders, rules, regulations (28 CFR 35, 29 CFR 1630 and 41 CFR
60) and orders of the Secretary of Labor as modified by the provisions prescribed herein,
and imposed pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 140 shall constitute the EEO and specific affirmative
action standards for the contractor's project activities under this contract. The Equal
Opportunity Construction Contract Specifications set forth under 41 CFR 60-4.3 and the
provisions of the American Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.) set forth
under 28 CFR 35 and 29 CFR 1630 are incorporated by reference in this contract. In the
execution of this contract, the contractor agrees to comply with the following minimum
specific requirement activities of EEO:
a. The contractor will work with the State highway agency (SHA) and the Federal
Government in carrying out EEO obligations and in their review of his/her
activities under the contract.
b. The contractor will accept as his operating policy the following'statement: ..
"It is the policy of this Company to assure that applicants are employed,
and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to
their race, religion, sex, color, national origin, age or disability. Such
action shall include: employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer;
recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay
or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including
apprenticeship, preapprenticeship, and/or on-the-job training."
2. EEO Officer: The contractor will designate and make known to the SHA contracting
officers an EEO Officer who will have the responsibility for and must be capable of
effectively administering and promoting an active contractor program of EEO and who
must be assigned adequate authority and responsibility to do so.
3. Dissemination of Policy: All members of the contractor's staff who are authorized to
hire, supervise, promote, and discharge employees, or who recommend such action, or
who are substantially involved in such action, will be made fully cognizant of, and will
DEP Contract No. DC646, Exhibit 3 to Attachment B
implement, the contractor's EEO policy and contractual responsibilities to provide EEO in
each grade and classification of employment. To ensure that the above agreement will be
met, the following actions will be taken as a minimum:
a. Periodic meetings of supervisory and personnel office employees will be
conducted before the start of work and then not less often than once every six
months, at which time the contractor's EEO policy and its implementation will be
reviewed and explained. The meetings will be conducted by the EEO Officer.
b. All new supervisory or personnel office employees will be given a thorough
indoctrination by the EEO Officer, covering all major aspects of the contractor's
EEO obligations within thirty days following their reporting for duty with the
contractor.
c. All personnel who are engaged in direct recruitment for the project will be
instructed by the EEO Officer in the contractor's procedures for locating and
hiring minority group employees.
d. Notices and posters setting forth the contractor's EEO policy will be placed in
areas readily accessible to employees, applicants for employment and potential
employees.
e. The contractor's EEO policy and the procedures to implement such policy will be
brought to the attention of employees by means of meetings, employee
handbooks, or other appropriate means.
4. Recruitment: When advertising for employees, the contractor will include in all
advertisements for employees the notation: "An Equal Opportunity Employer." All such
advertisements will be placed in publications having a large circulation among minority
groups in the area from which the project work force would normally be derived.
a. The contractor will, unless precluded by a valid bargaining agreement, conduct
systematic and direct recruitment through public and private employee referral
sources likely to yield qualified minority group applicants. To.. m eet this
requirement, the contractor will identify sources of potential minority group
employees, and establish with such identified sources procedures whereby
minority group applicants may be referred to the contractor for employment
consideration.
b. In the event the contractor has a valid bargaining agreement providing for
exclusive hiring hall referrals, he is expected to observe the provisions of that
agreement to the extent that the system permits the contractor's compliance with
EEO contract provisions. (The DOL has held that where implementation of such
agreements has the effect of discriminating against minorities or women, or
obligates the contractor to do the same, such implementation violates Executive
Order 11246, as amended.)
c. The contractor will encourage his present employees to refer minority group
applicants for employment. Information and procedures with regard to referring
minority group applicants will be discussed with employees.
DEP Contract No. DC646, Exhibit 3 to Attachment B
5. Personnel Actions: Wages, working conditions, and employee benefits shall be
established and administered, and personnel actions of every type, including hiring,
upgrading, promotion, transfer, demotion, layoff, and termination, shall be taken without
regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or disability. The following
procedures shall be followed:
a. The contractorwiJl conduct periodic inspections of project sites to insure that
working conditions and employee facilities do not indicate discriminatory
treatment of project site personnel.
b. The contractorwill periodically evaluate the spread of wages paid within each
classification to determine any evidence of discriminatory wage practices.
c. The contractor will periodically review selected personnel actions in depth to
determine whether there is evidence of discrimination. Where evidence is found,
the contractor will promptly take corrective action. If the review indicates that the
discrimination may extend beyond the actions reviewed, such corrective action
shall include all affected persons.
d. The contractor will promptly investigate all complaints of alleged discrimination
made to the contractor in connection with his obligations under this contract, will
attempt to resolve such complaints, and will take appropriate corrective action
within a reasonable time. If the investigation indicates that the discrimination may
affect persons other than the complainant, such corrective action shall include
such other persons. Upon completion of each investigation, the contractor will
inform every complainant of all of his avenues of appeal.
6. Training and Promotion:
a. The contractor will assist in locating, qualifying, and increasing the skills of
minority group and women employees, and applicants for employment.
b. Consistent with the contractor's work force requirements and as permissible
under Federal and State regulations, the contractor shall makefull.use of training
programs, Le., apprenticeship, and on-the-job training programs for the
geographical area of contract performance. Where feasible, 25 percent of
apprentices or trainees in each occupation shall be in their first year of
apprenticeship or training. In the event a special provision for training is provided
under this contract, this subparagraph will be superseded as indicated in the
special provision.
c. The contractorwill advise employees and applicants for employment of available
training programs and entrance requirements for each.
d. The contractor will periodically review the training and promotion potential of
minority group and women employees and will encourage eligible employees to
apply for such training and promotion.
7. Unions: If the contractor relies in whole or in part upon unions as a source of employees,
the contractor will use his/her best efforts to obtain the cooperation of such unions to
increase opportunities for minority groups and women within the unions, and to effect
referrals by such unions of minority and female employees. Actions by the contractor
DEP Contract No. DC646, Exhibit 3 to Attachment B
either directly or through a contractor's association acting as agent will include the
procedures set forth below:
a. The contractorwill use best efforts to develop, in cooperation with the unions,
joint training programs aimed toward qualifying more minority group members
and women for membership in the unions and increasing the skills of minority
group employees and women so that they may qualify for higher paying
employment.
b. The contractorwill use best efforts to incorporate an EEO clause into each union
agreement to the end that such union will be contractually bound to refer
applicants without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or
disability.
c. The contractor is to obtain information as to the referral practices and policies of
the labor union except that to the extent such information is within the exclusive
possession of the labor union and such labor union refuses to furnish such
information to the contractor, the contractor shall so certify to the SHA and shall
set forth what efforts have been made to obtain such information.
d. In the event the union is unable to provide the contractor with a reasonable flow
of minority and women referrals within the time limit set forth in the collective
bargaining agreement, the contractor will, through independent recruitment
efforts, fill the employment vacancies without regard to race, color, religion, sex,
national origin, age or disability; making full efforts to obtain qualified and/or
qualifiable minority group persons and women. (The DOL has held that 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.) In
the event the union referral practice prevents the contractor from meeting the
obligations pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and these special
provisions, such contractor shall immediately notify the SHA.
8. Selection of Subcontractors, Procurement of Materials and Leasing of Equipment:
The contractor shall not discriminate on the grounds of race, color, religion; sex, national
origin, age or disability in the selection and retention of subcontractors, including
procurement of materials and leases of equipment.
a. The contractor shall notify aU potential subcontractors and suppliers of his/her
EEO obligations under this contract.
b. Disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE), as defined in 49 CFR 23, shall have
equal opportunity to compete for and perform subcontracts which the contractor
enters into pursuant to this contract. The contractor will use his best efforts to
solicit bids from and to utilize DBE subcontractors or subcontractors with
meaningful minority group and female representation among their employees.
Contractors shall obtain lists of DBE construction firms from SHA personnel.
c. The contractor will use his best efforts to ensure subcontractor compliance with
their EEO obligations.
9. Records and Reports: The contractor shall keep such records as necessary to
document compliance with the EEO requirements. Such records shall be retained for a
DEP Contract No. DC646, Exhibit 3 to Attachment B
period of three years following completion of the contract work and shall be available at
reasonable times and places for inspection by authorized representatives of the SHA and
the FHWA.
a. The records kept by the contractor shall document the following:
1. The number of minority and non-minority group members and women
employed in each work classification on the project;
2. The progress and efforts being made in cooperation with unions, when
applicable, to increase employment opportunities for minorities and
women;
3. The progress and efforts being made in locating, hiring, training,
qualifying, and upgrading minority and female employees; and
4. The progress and efforts being made in securing the services of DBE
subcontractors or subcontractors with meaningful minority and female
representation among their employees.
b. The contractors will submit an annual report to the SHA each July for the
duration of the project, indicating the number of minority, women, and non-
minority group employees currently engaged in each work classification required
by the contract work. This information is to be reported on Form FHWA-1391. If
on-the-job training is being required by special provision, the contractor will be
required to collect and report training data.
Ill. NONSEGREGATED FACILITIES

as appropriate, certifies that the firm does not maintain or provide for its employees any
segregated facilities at any of its establishments, and that the firm does not permit its
employees to perform their services at any location, under its control, where segregated
facilities are maintained. The firm agrees that a breach of this certification is a violation of
the EEO provisions of this contract. The firm further certifies that no employee will be
denied access to adequate facilities on the basis of sex or disability.
b. As used in this certification, the term "segregated facilities" means any waiting rooms,
work areas, restrooms and washrooms, restaurants and other eating areas, timeclocks,
locker rooms, and other storage or dreSSing areas, parking lots, drinking fountains,
recreation or entertainment areas, transportation, and housing facilities provided for
employees which are segregated by explicit directive, or are, in fact, segregated on the
basis of race, color, religion, national origin, age or disability, because of habit, local
custom, or otherwise. The only exception will be for the disabled when the demands for
accessibility override (e.g. disabled parking).
DEP Contract No. DC646, Exhibit 3 to Attachment B
c. The contractor agrees that it has obtained or will obtain identical certification from
proposed subcontractors or material suppliers prior to award of subcontracts or
consummation of material supply agreements of $10,000 or more and that it will retain
such certifications in its files.
IV. PAYMENT OF PREDETERMINED MINIMUM WAGE
(Applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts exceeding $2,000 and to all related
subcontracts, except for projects located on roadways classified as local roads or rural minor

Copeland Act (40 U.S.C. 276c)] the full amounts of wages and bona fide fringe
benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment. The payment shall
be computed at wage rates not less than those contained in the wage
determination of the Secretary of Labor (hereinafter ''the wage determination")
which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual
relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor or its
subcontractors and such laborers and mechanics. The wage determination
(including any additional classifications and wage rates conformed under
paragraph 2 of this Section IV and the DOL poster (WH-1321) or Form FHWA-
1495) shall be posted at all times by the contractor and its subcontractors at the
site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can be easily seen
by the workers. For the purpose of this Section, contributions made or costs
reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under Section 1 (b) (2) of the
Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 276a) on behalf of laborers or mechanics are

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
actuaUy performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in paragraphs 4
and 5 of this Section IV.
b. 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.
c. All rulings and interpretations of the Davis-Bacon Act and related acts contained
in 29 CFR 1, 3, and 5 are herein incorporated by reference in this contract.
2. Classification:
DEP Contract No. DC646, Exhibit 3 to Attachment B
a. The SHA contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics
employed under the contract, which is not listed in the wage determination, shall
be classified in conformance with the wage determination.
b. The contracting officer shall approve an additional classification, wage rate and
fringe benefits only when the following criteria have been met:
1. the work to be performed by the additional classification requested is not
performed by a classification in the wage determination;
2. the additional classification is utjJjzed in the area by the construction
industry;
3. the proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a
reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage
determination; and
4. with respect to helpers, when such a classification prevails in the area in
which the work is performed.
c. If the contractor or subcontractors, as appropriate, the laborers and mechanics (if
known) to be employed in the additional classification or their representatives,
and the contracting officer agree on 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 DOL, Administrator of
the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration,
Washington, D.C. 20210. The Wage and Hour Administrator, or an authorized
representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification
action within 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. In the event the contractor or subcontractors, as appropriate, the laborers or
mechanics to be employed in the additional classification or their representatives,
and the contracting officer do not agree on the proposed cla$siflcation 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 Wage and Hour
Administrator for determination. Said Administrator, or an authorized
representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise
the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 3D-day period
that additional time is necessary
e. The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant
to paragraph 2c or 2d of this Section IV shall be paid to all workers performing
work in the additional classification from the first day on which work is performed
in the classification.
3. Payment of Fringe Benefits:
a. 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 or subcontractors, as appropriate, shall either pay the
DEP Contract No. DC646, Exhibit 3 to Attachment B
benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe
benefit or an hourly case equivalent thereof.
b. If the contractor or subcontractor, as appropriate, does not make payments to a
trustee or other third person, he/she may consider as a part of the wages of any
laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing
bona fide fringe benefits under a plan Of program, provided, that the Secretary of
Labor has found, upon the written request of the contractor, that the applicable

4. Apprentices and Trainees (Programs of the U.S. DOL) and Helpers:
a. Apprentices:
1. 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 progfam registered
with the DOL, 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/her first 90
days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an
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.
2. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeyman-level employees 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 employee 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 listed in'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 or subcontractor 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-level hourly rate) specified in the contractor's or
subcontractor's registered program shall be observed.
3. 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 journeyman-level 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
DEP Contract No. DC646, Exhibit 3 to Attachment B
determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator for the
Wage and Hour Division determines that a different practice prevails for
the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in
accordance with that determination.
4. 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 or subcontractor will no longer
be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable
predetermined rate for the comparable work performed by regular
employees until an acceptable program is approved.
b. Trainees:
1. Except as provided in 29 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
DOL, Employment and Training Administration.
2. The ratio of trainees to journeyman-level employees on the job site shall
not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the
Employment and Training Administration. 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
addition, any trainee 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.
3. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the
approved program for his/her level of progress, expressed.as a
percentage of the journeyman-level hourly rate specified in the
applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in
accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee
program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full
amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the
Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an
apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding journeyman-
level wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less than
full fringe benefits for apprentices, in which case such trainees shall
receive the same fringe benefits as apprentices.
4. In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws
approval of a training program, the contractor or subcontractor 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.
DEP Contract No. DC646, Exhibit 3 to Attachment B
c. Helpers:
Helpers will be permitted to work on a project if the helper classification is
specified and defined on the applicable wage determination or is approved
pursuant to the conformance procedure set forth in Section IV.2. Any worker
listed on a payroll at a helper wage rate, who is not a helper under a approved
definition, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage
determination for the classification of work actually performed.
5. Apprentices and Trainees (Programs of the U.S. DOT):
Apprentices and trainees working under apprenticeship and skill training programs which
have been certified by the Secretary of Transportation as promoting EEO in connection
with Federal-aid highway construction programs are not subject to the requirements of
paragraph 4 of this Section IV. The straight time hourly wage rates for apprentices and
trainees under such programs will be established by the particular programs. The ratio of
apprentices and trainees to journeymen shall not be greater than permitted by the terms
of the particular program.
6. Withholding:
The SHA shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized

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. Such liquidated damages shall be computed with
respect to each individual laborer, mechanic, watchman, or guard employed in violation
of the clause set forth in paragraph 7, in the sum of $10 for each calendar day on which
such employee was required or permitted to work in excess of the standard work week of
40 hours without payment of the overtime wages required by the clause set forth in
parag raph 7.
9. Withholding for Unpaid Wages and Liquidated Damages:

representative of the DOL withhold, or cause to be withheld, from any monies payable on
account of work performed by the contractor or subcontractor under any such contract or
any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other Federally-
assisted contract subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, which is

ATTACHMENT A - EMPLOYMENT PREFERENCE FOR APPALACHIAN CONTRACTS
(Applicable to Appalachian contracts only.)
1. During the performance of this contract, the contractor undertaking to do work which is,
or reasonably may be, done as on-site work, shall give preference to qualified persons
who regularly reside in the labor area as designated by the DOL wherein the contract
work is situated, or the subregion, or the Appalachian counties of the State wherein the
contract work is situated, except:
a. To the extent that qualified persons regularly residing in the area are not
available.
b. For the reasonable needs of the contractor to employ supervisory or specially
experienced personnel necessary to assure an efficient execution of the contract
work.
DEP Contract No. DC646, Exhibit 3 to Attachment B
c. For the obligation of the contractor to offer employment to present or former
employees as the result of a lawful collective bargaining contract, provided that the
number of nonresident persons employed under this subparagraph 1 c shall not
exceed 20 percent of the total number of employees employed by the contractor on
the contract work, except as provided in subparagraph 4 below.
2. The contractor shall place a job order with the State Employment Service indicating (a)
the classifications of the laborers, mechanics and other employees required to perform
the contract work, (b) the number of employees required in each classification, (c) the
date on which he estimates such employees will be required, and (d) any other pertinent
information required by the State Employment Service to complete the job order form.
The job order may be placed with the State Employment Service in writing or by
telephone. If during the course of the contract work, the information submitted by the
contractor in the original job order is SUbstantially modified, he shall promptly notify the
State Employment Service.
3. The contractor shall give full consideration to all qualified job applicants referred to him by
the State Employment Service. The contractor is not required to grant employment to any
job applicants who, in his opinion, are not qualified to perform the classification of work
required.
4. If, within 1 week following the placing of a job order by the contractor with the State
Employment Service, the State Employment Service is unable to refer any qualified job
applicants to the contractor, or less than the number requested, the State Employment
Service will forward a certificate to the contractor indicating the unavailability of
applicants. Such certificate shall be made a part of the contractor's permanent project
records. Upon receipt of this certificate, the contractor may employ persons who do not
normally reside in the labor area to fill positions covered by the certificate,
notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph 1 c above.
5. The contractor shall include the provisions of Sections 1 through 4 of this Attachment A in
every subcontract for work which is, or reasonably may be, done as on-site work.
DEP Contract No. DC646, Exhibit 3 to Attachment B
Exhibit 4 to Attachment B
Multiple wage tables on contracts
General Guidance
I. There are three general types of construction the Department oversees. These
being Highw~y, Heavy and Building. On some contracts there are different types of
construction to be performed or the project limits exceed the area coverage of just
one wage table because of different counties involved. In these cases, more th~n
one wage table may be ~ssigned to a contract. When this happens, the question
becomes, where on the project is each table to be used?
The foUowing are some examples of the type of work that are covered by the three
(3) types of construction that the Department Is usually involved in:
(a) Highway
Roads, streets, highways, n.mways, taxiways, alleys, trails, paths. parking
areas, highway bridges (that are not considered to be Heavy c~nstructlon),
and other work of similar character. Any work that supports this construction.
11
(b) Heavy
Antenna towers. bridges designed for commercial navigationl.canals.
channels, docks. drainage (not incidental to highway), dredging. railroad
construction, sewers (not incidental to highway), subways (other than
buildings). tunnels, water and sewage treatment plants (other than buildings)
and other work of similar character. Any work that supports this construction.
*
(c) 8~lIdlng
Automobile parking garages. office buildings, rest stop bulldings~ toll facility
buildings, subway stations, water and sewage treatment plants (building only)
and all other buHding construction not incidental to Highway or Heavy
construction. Any work that supports this construction_ *
DEP Contract No. DC646, Exhibit 4 to Attachment B, Page ~ of 3
* An example. of work that supports a type of construction cou1d be in the case of a
tontratt with a commercially navigable bridge (Heavy) being constructed and
highway work (Highway) outside of the bridge parameters. Work platforms built, or
partially builtr on the highway right of way, then transported to the placement area
around the bridge, would be covered by Heavy, since It Is In support of the bridger
even though some of it's constructIon took place physically on the highway's right
of way.
II. Additional notes:
(a) The contractor has the option of paying the highest rates from each of the
tables for each classification to satisfy the minimum requirements for their
employees and avoid the complexity of keeping up with each worker and under
what table they are working under. Example: Assume the project has Highway and
Heavy wage tables assigned to it. The Highway table lists a carpenter for $8.00 per
hour. The Heavy table lists the carpenter for $10.50 per hour. The contractor can
pay $10.50 per hour for. all work done by carpenters in all areas of the project.
OR
The contractor may elect to pay the wages contained in each table when the table
is applicable to the work that is being performed on the project. For example: from
the example project above the carpenters could be paid $8.00 per hour for all work
do'ne that pertained to the Highway table and $10.50 per hour for all work that
pertained'to the Heavy table. When this option is chosen) the contrador"mustknow
where each table is to be used and keep accurate record$ supporting the payment
of different rates_
(b) When there are multiple tabl~s requi~ed because the project limits span
more than the area coverage of one table. the contractor again has the option of
paying the highest rates for each classification, as demonstrated above. or can
choose to pay the rates for the applicable table in each case. In choosing to pay the
different rates the county line or other delineator stated in the wage table is used
to determine rate coverage. Example: the contract is Highway construction and ifs
limits span Dade and Broward counties. In the two tables that c;over the work the
carpenter is $10.00 per hour in Da.de county and $9.00 per hour in Broward
DE? Contract No. DC646, Exhibit 4 to Attachment B, Page 2 of 3
t'
. .~p""~..
County. The contractor can pay the applicable rate on each side of the respective
county line or pay the $1 0.00 rate for aU carpenter work on the project.
****************
If there are Ate( questions or confusion concerning applicability of wage tables to
work in the contract to be bid. contact the FOOT's District Contract Compliance
Manager in the District where the prOject is to be constructed. If you are unabte to
do this. contact the FOOTs Prevailing Wage Coordinator in the State Construction
Office (Tallahassee) for assistance. This should be done well BEFORE bids are due
for the project.
