About this file

This document comprises attachment exhibits to a state and local construction contract opportunity issued by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Facilities Division for HVAC system replacement and installation at the Lopez Unit in Edinburg, Texas. The project involves replacing and installing new HVAC systems in inmate housing facilities. The attachments establish the contractual framework, requirements, and standards for civilian construction contractors and their employees working on this project. Key requirements include mandatory compliance with TDCJ Standards of Conduct for Civilian Construction Contractors' Employees, which prohibits bringing firearms, alcoholic beverages, drugs, controlled substances, and contraband onto state property; prohibits contact with inmates; and requires locked vehicles while on premises. Contractors must execute both Texas Statutory Payment Bonds and Performance Bonds under Chapter 2253 of the Government Code to ensure labor payments and faithful contract performance. Tool control measures are strictly enforced, with particular attention to Class "A" tools (hacksaw blades, files, pipe wrenches, ladders, acetylene cutting tips, pipe and bolt cutters) that must be inventoried, secured, and monitored to prevent escape attempts or bodily harm.

Prevailing wage requirements apply to this project with separate wage schedules for work outside the five-foot building perimeter and work within five feet of the building line. Outside the building perimeter, wages range from $9.10 per hour for flaggers to $16.86 per hour for foundation drill operators, with zero fringe benefits listed. Within five feet of the building line, union-scale wages apply, including rates such as $33.17 per hour for boilermakers, $40.74 per hour for plumbers, and $32.85 per hour for tower crane operators with associated fringe benefits. Contractors must submit qualifications documentation including financial statements, bonding capacity, business history, personnel information, current and completed project lists, and equipment inventories. All contractor employees and key personnel must complete TDCJ Non-Employee Background Questionnaires disclosing criminal history, prior TDCJ employment, offender relationships, gang affiliations, and any sexual misconduct or harassment incidents. A non-collusion affidavit certified by notary public is required. The solicitation encourages subcontracting consideration in HVAC equipment, accessories, supplies, and HVAC manufacturing services, with reference to the Centralized Master Bidders List (CMBL) maintained by the Texas Comptroller's Office.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year. Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member ( or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injure, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts.

Note: Executive Order 13658 generally applies to contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act that were awarded on or between January 1, 2015 and January 29, 2022, and that have not been renewed or extended on or after January 30, 2022. Executive Order 13658 does not apply to contracts subject only to the Davis-Bacon Related Acts regardless of when they were awarded. If a contract is subject to Executive Order 13658,the contractor must pay all covered workers at least $13.65 per hour (or the applicable wage rate listed on this wage determination, if it is higher) for all hours spent performing on the contract from May 11, 2026, through December 31, 2026. The applicable Executive Order minimum wage rate will be adjusted annually. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under Executive Order 13658 is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (iii)).

The body of each wage determination lists the classifications and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the type(s) of construction and geographic area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order under rate identifiers indicating whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate), a survey rate, a weighted union average rate, a state adopted rate, or a supplemental classification rate.

Union Rate Identifiers

A four-letter identifier beginning with characters other than "SU", "UAVG", “SA”, or “SC” denotes that a union rate was prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example: PLUM0198-005 07/01/2024. PLUM is an identifier of the union whose collectively bargained rate prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. The date, 07/01/2024 in the example, is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate.

Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all changes over time that are reported to WHD in the rates in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing the classification.

Union Average Rate Identifiers

The UAVG identifier indicates that no single rate prevailed for those classifications, but that 100% of the data reported for the classifications reflected union rates. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 01/01/2024. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the State of Ohio. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. The date, 01/01/2024 in the example, indicates the date the wage determination was updated to reflect the most current union average rate.

696-FD-26-P022A Page 3 of 4

A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January, to reflect a weighted average of the current rates in the collective bargaining agreements on which the rate is based.

Survey Rate Identifiers

The "SU" identifier indicates that either a single non-union rate prevailed (as defined in 29 CFR 1.2) for this classification in the survey or that the rate was derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As a weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SUFL2022-007 6/27/2024. SU indicates the rate is a single non-union prevailing rate or a weighted average of survey data for that classification. FL indicates the State of Florida. 2022 is the year of the survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. The date, 6/27/2024 in the example, indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

“SU” wage rates typically remain in effect until a new survey is conducted. However, the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) has the discretion to update such rates under 29 CFR 1.6(c)(1).

State Adopted Rate Identifiers

The "SA" identifier indicates that the classifications and prevailing wage rates set by a state (or local) government were adopted under 29 C.F.R 1.3(g)-(h). Example: SAME2023-007 01/03/2024. SA reflects that the rates are state adopted. ME refers to the State of Maine. 2023 is the year during which the state completed the survey on which the listed classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. The date, 01/03/2024 in the example, reflects the date on which the classifications and rates under the “SA” identifier took effect under state law in the state from which the rates were adopted.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

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

a) a survey underlying a wage determination

b) an existing published wage determination

c) an initial WHD letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter

d) an initial conformance (additional classification and rate) determination

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be directed to the WHD Branch of Wage Surveys. Requests can be submitted via email to davisbaconinfo@dol.gov or by mail to:

Branch of Wage Surveys Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

Regarding any other wage determination matter such as conformance decisions, requests for initial decisions should be directed to the WHD Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Requests can be submitted via email to BCWD-Office@dol.gov or by mail to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

2) If an initial decision has been issued, then any interested party (those affected by the action) that disagrees

696-FD-26-P022A Page 4 of 4 with the decision can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Requests for review and reconsideration can be submitted via email to dba.reconsideration@dol.gov or by mail to:

Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.

3) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:

Administrative Review Board U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210.

The "SU" identifier indicates that either a single non-union rate prevailed (as defined in 29 CFR 1.2) for this classification in the survey or that the rate was derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As a weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SUFL2022-007 6/27/2024. SU indicates the rate is a single non-union prevailing rate or a weighted average of survey data for that classification. FL indicates the State of Florida. 2022 is the year of the survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. The date, 6/27/2024 in the example, indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

“SU” wage rates typically remain in effect until a new survey is conducted. However, the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) has the discretion to update such rates under 29 CFR 1.6(c)(1).

State Adopted Rate Identifiers

The "SA" identifier indicates that the classifications and prevailing wage rates set by a state (or local) government were adopted under 29 C.F.R 1.3(g)-(h). Example: SAME2023-007 01/03/2024. SA reflects that the rates are state adopted. ME refers to the State of Maine. 2023 is the year during which the state completed the survey on which the listed classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. The date, 01/03/2024 in the example, reflects the date on which the classifications and rates under the “SA” identifier took effect under state law in the state from which the rates were adopted.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

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

a) a survey underlying a wage determination

b) an existing published wage determination

c) an initial WHD letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter

d) an initial conformance (additional classification and rate) determination

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be directed to the

696-FD-26-P022A Page 3 of 3

FALSIFICATION POLICY

It is important that contract employee applicants provide accurate information in this questionnaire. Failure to list any criminal conviction or other important information, such as prior employment with the TDCJ or offender relationships, is considered falsification of the questionnaire and results in disqualification for contract employment access to TDCJ facilities for one year.

As a criminal justice agency, it is very important for the TDCJ to know if an applicant has a criminal record. In most cases, a criminal record does not disqualify you from access to TDCJ facilities. However, falsification of the questionnaire always disqualifies you, regardless of how well qualified you are otherwise.

What convictions shall be listed? All convictions handled in adult court shall be listed, no matter when or where they occurred.

In Texas, if you are 17 years old or older, the case is always handled in adult court. If you are under 17, it still may be handled in adult court. As an exception, you are not required to list convictions for minor traffic violations. Examples of minor traffic violations are speeding, running stop signs, and no seat belts. Examples of crimes which are not minor traffic violations and shall be listed are DWI, DUI, Leaving the Scene of an Accident, Assault with a Motor Vehicle, Reckless Driving, Open Container, and Driving While License is Suspended. Convictions that have been expunged under state or federal law do not have to be listed. Expunged means a judge signed an order directing all agencies with a record of the arrest and conviction destroy those records (this is not the same as a deferred adjudication, explained below).

What is a conviction? For TDCJ purposes, a conviction is (a) a finding of guilt by judge or jury and the assessment of punishment, whether confinement or fines; (b) community supervision (probation), including deferred adjudication; (c) a juvenile adjudication of delinquent conduct if the juvenile records are not sealed; and (d) an equivalent disposition of an offense under the laws of another state, federal law, or Uniform Code of Military Justice. The term does not include a pretrial diversion, which is an agreement between the defendant and prosecutor and occurs before a judicial finding, although a judge may approve of the defendant participating in the program. Pardons or reprieves do not eliminate a conviction. If you have a case handled by deferred adjudication, it shall be listed in your application, regardless of whether you think it is still on record.

Military Convictions. Convictions by court martial for criminal offenses shall also be listed.

Failure to Appear. If you were convicted of a routine traffic violation or other offense and did not pay the ticket on time or failed to appear to court, you may have been charged with and convicted of Failure to Appear. Failure to Appear is a separate crime and shall be listed.

Questions. If you have any questions concerning what shall be listed in this questionnaire, it is recommended you contact the Human Resources Division in Huntsville at (936) 437-3126 before you submit this questionnaire.

OFFENDER RELATIONSHIPS: TDCJ employees and contract employees with access to TDCJ facilities are prohibited from maintaining or developing a personal relationship with an offender who is not related to the employee. Prohibited relationships include those involving cohabitation, sexual misconduct, or actions that jeopardize or have the potential to jeopardize the security of the TDCJ. This means employees and contract employees may not have personal contact or relationships with offenders currently incarcerated or on parole outside of their official duties if this contact or relationship would jeopardize or has the potential to jeopardize the security of the TDCJ. Prohibited contact includes living together, writing letters or notes, telephone contact, visitation, and depositing funds into an offender’s Inmate Trust Fund (ITF) account. If an employee or contract employee was once married to an offender or had a child together with an offender, employee contact with the offender may be limited to that which is ordered by the court. As a condition of contract employment with the TDCJ, contract employees with prohibited relationships shall sever those relationships. Sever means to cease any and all cohabitation, intimate encounters, verbal or written communications, visitation, or other prohibited contact.
