Contractor will take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as
the administering agency may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions,
including sanctions for noncompliance:

subcontractors with the equal opportunity clause and the rules, regulations, and
relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor, that it will furnish the administering agency
and the Secretary of Labor such information as they may require for the supervision of
such compliance, and that it will otherwise assist the administering agency in the
discharge of the agency's primary responsibility for securing compliance.
The Applicant further agrees that it will refrain from entering into any contract or
contract modification subject to Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, with a
contractor debarred from, or who has not demonstrated eligibility for, Government
contracts and federally assisted construction contracts pursuant to the Executive
Order and will carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of the equal
opportunity clause as may be imposed upon contractors and subcontractors by the

subcontract must be conditioned upon the acceptance of the wage determination. The non-
Federal entity must report all suspected or reported violations to the Federal awarding
agency. The contracts must also include a provision for compliance with the Copeland "Anti-
Kickback" Act (40 U.S.C. 3145), as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29
CFR Part 3, "Contractors and Subcontractors on Public Building or Public Work Financed in

5.1, the following clauses (or any modifications thereof to meet the particular needs of the
agency, Provided, That such modifications are first approved by the Department of Labor):
(1) Minimum wages—
(i) Wage rates and fringe benefits. All laborers and mechanics employed or working
upon the site of the work (or otherwise working in construction or development of the
project under a development statute), will be paid unconditionally and not less often

hourly wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at 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. As provided in paragraphs ( } and e of this section,
the appropriate wage determinations are effective by operation of law even if they
have not been attached to the contract. Contributions made or costs reasonably
anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C.
3141 L2)( )) on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such
laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of pare rash (a)(1)(v) of this section;
also, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but
not less 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 must be paid the appropriate wage
rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination for the classification(s) of work
actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in paragraph (a)(4) of
this section. 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 classifications and wage rates conformed under Raragraph
LaJL1]L'iiiJ of this section) and the Davis-Bacon poster (WH-1321) must 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.
(ii) Frequently recurring classifications.
(A) In addition to wage and fringe benefit rates that have been determined to be
prevailing under the procedures set forth in 29 CF part 1, a wage determination
may contain, pursuant to 1.3 f , wage and fringe benefit rates for classifications of
laborers and mechanics for which conformance requests are regularly submitted
pursuant to paragraph (a)(1)(iii) of this section, provided that:
(1) The work performed by the classification is not performed by a classification in
the wage determination for which a prevailing wage rate has been determined;
(2) The classification is used in the area by the construction industry; and
(3) The wage rate for the classification bears a reasonable relationship to the
prevailing wage rates contained in the wage determination.
(B) The Administrator will establish wage rates for such classifications in accordance
with paragraph (a)(1)(iii}(A)(31 of this section. Work performed in such a
classification must be paid at no less than the wage and fringe benefit rate listed on
the wage determination for such classification.
(iii) Conformance.
(A) The contracting officer must require that any class of laborers or mechanics,
including helpers, which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be
employed under the contract be classified in conformance with the wage
determination. Conformance of an additional classification and wage rate and fringe
benefits is appropriate only when the following criteria have been met:

classification (if known), 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 will be sent by the contracting officer
by email to ®FAconfor ante doleov. The 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, 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 will, by email to
QBAconfor ance(Qdo1. o►r, refer the questions, including the views of all interested
parties and the recommendation of the contracting officer, to the Administrator for

benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor may either pay the
benefit as stated in the wage determination or may pay another bona fide fringe
benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof.
(v) Unfunded plans. 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 costs 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, in accordance with the criteria set forth in
5.2 , that the applicable standards 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.

of Federal assistance] may, upon its own action, or must, upon written request of an
authorized representative of the Department of Labor, withhold or cause to be

considered necessary to satisfy the liabilities of the prime contractor or any
subcontractor for the full amount of wages and monetary relief, including interest,
required by the clauses set forth in paragraph (a4 of this section for violations of this
contract, or to satisfy any such liabilities required by any other Federal contract, or
federally assisted contract subject to Davis-Bacon labor standards, that is held by the
same prime contractor (as defined in § 5.2). The necessary funds may be withheld
from the contractor under this contract, any other Federal contract with the same
prime contractor, or any other federally assisted contract that is subject to Davis-
Bacon labor standards requirements and is held by the same prime contractor,
regardless of whether the other contract was awarded or assisted by the same
agency, and such funds may be used to satisfy the contractor liability for which the
funds were withheld. In the event of a contractor's failure to pay any laborer or
mechanic, including any apprentice or helper working on the site of the work (or
otherwise working in construction or development of the project under a development
statute) all or part of the wages required by the contract, or upon the contractor's
failure to submit the required records as discussed in paragraph (a�(3)(ivJ of this
section, the [Agency] may on its own initiative and after written notice to the
contractor, sponsor, applicant, owner, or other entity, as the case may be, 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.
(ii) Priority to withheld funds. The Department has priority to funds withheld or to be
withheld in accordance with paragraph (a)(2)(1 orb 3 i of this section, or both, over

otherwise working in construction or development of the project under a
development statute) for a period of at least 3 years after all the work on the prime
contract is completed.
(B) Information required. Such records must contain the name; Social Security
number; last known address, telephone number, and email address of each such
worker; each worker's correct classification(s) of work actually performed; hourly
rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona
fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in 40 U.S.C.
311(2}( } of the Davis-Bacon Act); daily and weekly number of hours actually
worked in total and on each covered contract; deductions made; and actual wages
paid.
(C) Additional records relating to fringe benefits. Whenever the Secretary of
Labor has found under paragrah (a}(1}(v} of this section 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 40 IU.S.C. 3141(2}( } of the
Davis-Bacon Act, the contractor must 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.
(D) Additional records relating to apprenticeship. Contractors with apprentices
working under approved programs must maintain written evidence of the registration
of apprenticeship programs, the registration of the apprentices, and the ratios and
wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs.
(ii) Certified payroll requirements—
(A) Frequency and method of submission. The contractor or subcontractor must
submit weekly, for each week in which any DBA- or Related Acts-covered work is
performed, certified payrolls to the [write in name of appropriate Federal agency] if
the agency is a party to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the
contractor will submit the certified payrolls to the applicant, sponsor, owner, or other
entity, as the case may be, that maintains such records, for transmission to the [write
in name of agency]. The prime contractor is responsible for the submission of all
certified payrolls by all subcontractors. A contracting agency or prime contractor may
permit or require contractors to submit certified payrolls through an electronic
system, as long as the electronic system requires a legally valid electronic signature;
the system allows the contractor, the contracting agency, and the Department of
Labor to access the certified payrolls upon request for at least 3 years after the work
on the prime contract has been completed; and the contracting agency or prime
contractor permits other methods of submission in situations where the contractor is
unable or limited in its ability to use or access the electronic system.
(B) Information required. The certified payrolls submitted must set out accurately
and completely all of the information required to be maintained under Para rah
(a}(3}(i}(B} of this section, except that full Social Security numbers and last known
addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses must not be included on
weekly transmittals. Instead, the certified payrolls need only include an individually
identifying number for each worker (e.g., the last four digits of the worker's Social
Security number). The required weekly certified payroll information may be
-26-
On Call Professional Engineering Services Contract
submitted using Optional Form WH-347 or in any other format desired. Optional
Form WH-347 is available for this purpose from the Wage and Hour Division website
at s1wh347/pelf or its
successor website. It is not a violation of this section for a prime contractor to require
a subcontractor to provide full Social Security numbers and last known addresses,
telephone numbers, and email addresses to the prime contractor for its own records,
without weekly submission by the subcontractor to the sponsoring government
agency (or the applicant, sponsor, owner, or other entity, as the case may be, that
maintains such records).
(C) Statement of Compliance. Each certified payroll submitted must be
accompanied by a "Statement of Compliance," signed by the contractor or
subcontractor, or the contractor's or subcontractor's agent who pays or supervises
the payment of the persons working on the contract, and must certify the following:
(1) That the certified payroll for the payroll period contains the information required
to be provided under pare raph (a}(3}(ii) of this section, the appropriate
information and basic records are being maintained under paragraph (a}(3}(i) of
this section, and such information and records are correct and complete;
(2) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper and apprentice) working
on the contract during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages
earned, without rebate, either 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 29 CF Bart 3; and
(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(s) of work
actually performed, as specified in the applicable wage determination incorporated
into the contract.
(D) Use of Optional Form WH-347. The weekly submission of a properly executed
certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional Form WH-347 will satisfy the
requirement for submission of the "Statement of Compliance" required by paragraph
(a}(3I(ii}(C} of this section.
(E) Signature. The signature by the contractor, subcontractor, or the contractor's or
subcontractor's agent must be an original handwritten signature or a legally valid
electronic signature.
(F) Falsification. The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the
contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under 13 U.S.C. 1001 and
31 U.S.C. 3729.
(G) Length of certified payroll retention. The contractor or subcontractor must
preserve all certified payrolls during the course of the work and for a period of 3
years after all the work on the prime contract is completed.
(iii) Contracts, subcontracts, and related documents. The contractor or
subcontractor must maintain this contract or subcontract and related documents
including, without limitation, bids, proposals, amendments, modifications, and
extensions. The contractor or subcontractor must preserve these contracts,
subcontracts, and related documents during the course of the work and for a period of
3 years after all the work on the prime contract is completed.
-27-
On Call Professional Engineering Services Contract
(iv) Required disclosures and access—
(A) Required record disclosures and access to workers. The contractor or
subcontractor must make the records required under paragraphs (a)(3)(i) through
iii of this section, and any other documents that the [write the name of the agency]
or the Department of Labor deems necessary to determine compliance with the
labor standards provisions of any of the applicable statutes referenced by§ 5.1,
available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of
the [write the name of the agency] or the Department of Labor, and must permit such
representatives to interview workers during working hours on the job.
(B) Sanctions for non-compliance with records and worker access
requirements. If the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records
or to make them available, or refuses to permit worker interviews during working
hours on the job, the Federal agency may, after written notice to the contractor,
sponsor, applicant, owner, or other entity, as the case may be, that maintains such
records or that employs such workers, take such 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, or to permit worker interviews during working hours on the job,
may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 012. In addition, any contractor
or other person that fails to submit the required records or make those records
available to WHD within the time WHD requests that the records be produced will be
precluded from introducing as evidence in an administrative proceeding under 29
CFR part 6 any of the required records that were not provided or made available to
WHD. WHD will take into consideration a reasonable request from the contractor or
person for an extension of the time for submission of records. WHD will determine
the reasonableness of the request and may consider, among other things, the
location of the records and the volume of production.
(C) Required information disclosures. Contractors and subcontractors must
maintain the full Social Security number and last known address, telephone number,
and email address of each covered worker, and must provide them upon request to
the [write in name of appropriate Federal agency] if the agency is a party to the
contract, or to the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor. If the
Federal agency is not such a party to the contract, the contractor, subcontractor, or
both, must, upon request, provide the full Social Security number and last known
address, telephone number, and email address of each covered worker to the
applicant, sponsor, owner, or other entity, as the case may be, that maintains such
records, for transmission to the [write in name of agency], the contractor, or the
Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor for purposes of an investigation
or other compliance action.
(4) Apprentices and equal employment opportunity—
(i) Apprentices—
(A) Rate of pay. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the
predetermined rate for the work they perform 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, Office of
Apprenticeship (OA), or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the OA.
A person who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been
certified by the OA or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be
-28-
On Call Professional Engineering Services Contract
eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice, will be permitted to work at
less than the predetermined rate for the work they perform in the first 90 days of
probationary employment as an apprentice in such a program. In the event the OA
or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the OA withdraws approval of an
apprenticeship program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to use
apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed
until an acceptable program is approved.
(B) Fringe benefits. Apprentices must 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, fringe benefits must be paid in accordance with that determination.
(C) Apprenticeship ratio. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeyworkers on
the job site in any craft classification must not be greater than the ratio permitted to
the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program or the ratio
applicable to the locality of the project pursuant to paragraph (a)(4)(i)(D) of this
section. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not
registered or otherwise employed as stated in paragraph (a)( }(i}(A) of this section,
must 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 this section must be paid
not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work
actually performed.
(D) Reciprocity of ratios and wage rates. Where a contractor is performing
construction on a project in a locality other than the locality in which its program is
registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the
journeyworker's hourly rate) applicable within the locality in which the construction is
being performed must be observed. If there is no applicable ratio or wage rate for
the locality of the project, the ratio and wage rate specified in the contractor's
registered program must be observed.
(ii) Equal employment opportunity. The use of apprentices and journeyworkers
under this part must be in conformity with the equal employment opportunity
requirements of Executive Order 1126, as amended, and 29 CF part 30.
(5) Compliance with Copeland Act requirements. The contractor shall comply with
the requirements of 29 CFR part 3, which are incorporated by reference in this contract.
(6) Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor must insert in any subcontracts the
clauses contained in paragraphs (a}(1) through 11 of this section, along with the
applicable wage determination(s) and such other clauses or contract modifications as
the [write in the name of the Federal agency] may by appropriate instructions require,
and a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses and wage
determination(s) in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor is responsible for
the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all the contract
clauses in this section. In the event of any violations of these clauses, the prime
contractor and any subcontractor(s) responsible will be liable for any unpaid wages and
monetary relief, including interest from the date of the underpayment or loss, due to any
workers of lower-tier subcontractors, and may be subject to debarment, as appropriate.
-29-
On Call Professional Engineering Services Contract
(7) Contract termination: debarment. A breach of the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5
may be grounds for termination of the contract, and for debarment as a contractor and a
subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 5.12.
(8) Compliance with Davis-Bacon and Related Act requirements. All rulings and
interpretations of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts contained in 29 CFR parts 1, 1 and
5 are herein incorporated by reference in this contract.
(9) Disputes concerning labor standards. Disputes arising out of the labor standards
provisions of this contract shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of this
contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the
Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR parts 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the meaning
of this clause include disputes between the contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and
the contracting agency, the U.S. Department of Labor, or the employees or their
representatives.
(10) Certification of eligibility.
(i) By entering into this contract, the contractor certifies that neither it nor any person
or firm who has an interest in the contractor's firm is a person or firm ineligible to be
awarded Government contracts by virtue of 40 U.S.C. 31 ( ) or 5.12 a .
(ii) No part of this contract shall be subcontracted to any person or firm ineligible for
award of a Government contract by virtue of 40 U.S.C. 31 (b) or 5.12 a .
(iii) The penalty for making false statements is prescribed in the U.S. Code, Title 18

threaten, restrain, coerce, blacklist, harass, or in any other manner discriminate against,
or to cause any person to discharge, demote, intimidate, threaten, restrain, coerce,
blacklist, harass, or in any other manner discriminate against, any worker or job

paragraphs (b)(1} through of this section in full, or (for contracts covered by the
Federal Acquisition Regulation) by reference, in any contract in an amount in excess of
$100,000 and subject to the overtime provisions of the Contract Work Hours and Safety
Standards Act. These clauses must be inserted in addition to the clauses required by

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 or
mechanic, including watchpersons and guards, employed in violation of the clause set

which such individual was required or permitted to work in excess of the standard
workweek of forty hours without payment of the overtime wages required by the clause
set forth in paragraph (b)(1).
(3) Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages—
(i) Withholding process. The [write in the name of the Federal agency or the
recipient of Federal assistance] may, upon its own action, or must, upon written
request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor, withhold or cause
to be withheld from the contractor so much of the accrued payments or advances as
may be considered necessary to satisfy the liabilities of the prime contractor or any
subcontractor for any unpaid wages; monetary relief, including interest; and liquidated
damages required by the clauses set forth in this pare rah (b) on this contract, 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 that is held by
the same prime contractor (as defined in a 5.2). The necessary funds may be withheld
from the contractor under this contract, any other Federal contract with the same
prime contractor, or any other federally assisted contract that is subject to the Contract
Work Hours and Safety Standards Act and is held by the same prime contractor,
regardless of whether the other contract was awarded or assisted by the same
agency, and such funds may be used to satisfy the contractor liability for which the
funds were withheld.
(ii) Priority to withheld funds. The Department has priority to funds withheld or to be
withheld in accordance with paragraph (a)(2)(i) or 3 i of this section, or both, over
claims to those funds by:
(A) A contractor's surety(ies), including without limitation performance bond sureties
and payment bond sureties;
(B) A contracting agency for its reprocurement costs;
(C) A trustee(s) (either a court-appointed trustee or a U.S. trustee, or both) in

of these clauses, the prime contractor and any subcontractor(s) responsible will be liable
for any unpaid wages and monetary relief, including interest from the date of the
underpayment or loss, due to any workers of lower-tier subcontractors, and associated
liquidated damages and may be subject to debarment, as appropriate.

must cause or require the contracting officer to insert a clause requiring that the contractor
or subcontractor must maintain regular payrolls and other basic records during the course
of the work and must preserve them for a period of 3 years after all the work on the prime
contract is completed for all laborers and mechanics, including guards and watchpersons,

incorporation by reference of the required contract clauses and appropriate wage
determinations will be given the same force and effect as if they were inserted in full text.
(e) Incorporation by operation of law. The contract clauses set forth in this section (or
their equivalent under the Federal Acquisition Regulation), along with the correct wage
determinations, will be considered to be a part of every prime contract required by the

application of this paragraph. Where the clauses and applicable wage determinations are
effective by operation of law under this paragraph, the prime contractor must be
compensated for any resulting increase in wages in accordance with applicable law.

required to work in surroundings or under working conditions which are unsanitary,
hazardous or dangerous. These requirements do not apply to the purchases of supplies or
materials or articles ordinarily available on the open market, or contracts for transportation
or transmission of intelligence.

contract work which may require or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics
shall require or permit any such laborer or mechanic in any workweek in which he or she
is employed on such work to work in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless
such laborer or mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half
times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of forty hours in such workweek.
(2) Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In the event of any violation
of the clause set forth in paragraph 29 C.F.R. § 5.5(b)(1) the contractor and any
subcontractor responsible therefor shall be liable for the unpaid wages and interest
from the date of the underpayment. 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.
Such liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer
or mechanic, including watchpersons and guards, employed in violation of the clause
set forth in paragraph 29 C.F.R. § 5.5 (b)(1), in the sum of$32 for each calendar day
on which such individual was required or permitted to work in excess of the standard
workweek of forty hours without payment of the overtime wages required by the clause
set forth in paragraph29 C.F.R. § 5.5 (b)(1).
(3) Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages.
(i) Withholding Process. The recipient or subrecipients may upon its own
action, or must upon written request of an authorized representative of the
Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor so much
of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to satisfy
the liability of the prime contractor or any subcontractors for any unpaid wages,

contractor under this contract, any other federal contract with the same prime
contractor, or any other federally assisted contract that is subject to the Contract
Work Hours and Safety Standards Act and is held by the same prime contractor,
regardless of whether the other contract was awarded or assisted by the same
agency, and such funds may be used to satisfy the contractor liability for which the
funds were withheld.
(ii) Priority to withheld funds. The Department has priority to funds withheld or to
be withheld in accordance with paragraph (a)(2)(i) or (b)(3)(i) of this section, or both,
over claims to those funds by:
(A) A contractor's surety(ies), including without limitation performance bond sureties
and payment bond sureties;
(B) A contracting agency for its reprocurement costs,
(C) A trustee(s) (either a court-appointed trustee or a U.S. trustee, or both) in

(D) A contractor's assignee(s);
(E) A contractor's successor(s); or
(F) A claim asserted under the Prompt Payment Act, 31 U.S.C. 3901-3907.,

lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for
compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with the clauses
set forth in paragraphs 29 C.F.R. § 5.5 (b)(1) through (5). In the event of any violations of
these clauses, the prime contractor, and any subcontractor(s) responsible will be liable for
any unpaid wages and monetary relief, including interest from the date of the underpayment
or loss, due to any workers of lower-tier subcontractors, and associated liquidated damages

threaten, restrain, coerce, blacklist, harass, or in any other manner discriminate
against, or to cause any person to discharge, demote, intimidate, threaten, restrain,

constitutes a violation of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act
(CWHSSA) or its implementing regulations in this part;
(ii) Filing any complaint, initiating, or causing to be initiated any proceeding, or
otherwise asserting or seeking to assert on behalf of themselves or others any
