Box 790, Boise, Idaho 83701.

II. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

A. Safety. The following safety precautions and procedures will be adhered to:

1. No fumigation will occur unless wind is a minimum of 2 mph. In the event of contamination of personnel, water for washing and a change of clothes will be readily available.

2. The tractor operator should be protected with a transparent barrier between the operator and pressurized cylinder.

3. Pressurized cylinders full or empty, when not in use, will be stored in a specially secured and labelled storage location (eg. truck)

B. Equipment and Method

1. Prior to initiating any fumigation work, all fumigant cylinders will be weighed and properly labeled as to live weight content.

The size of the MBC-33 fumigation cylinders will be limited to no more than 500 lbs.

2. Fumigation will be accomplished when wind velocity is at a minimum of 2 mph. The direction of wind should be away from adjacent live tree seedling beds as fumigant could kill seedlings.

The minimum allowable distance when fumigating to adjacent to live tree seedbeds is sixteen feet The minimum soil temperature allowable at 6 inches for any fumigation work is 50 degrees F.

3. The MBC-33 fumigant is to be injected with crawler-mounted equip-ment to a depth of 6 to 8 inches with the delivering chisels spaced not more than 12 inches apart on the drawbar. Injector equipment shall include metering valves, gauges and other equipment to accurately deliver to the fumigant through the chisels at the rate of 350-360 lbs fumigant per acre. Fumigant implement shall be mounted on tracked equipment (e.g. Catepiller-like crawler-tractor).

4. In the same operation, soil being fumigated is to be covered simultaneously with polyethylene tarpaulins (minimum of 1 mil thickness). The tarpaulins are to be laid down and sealed automatically by a tarpaulin roller/layer attached to the rear of the fumigation equipment.

5. The directional line of travel for an area to be fumigated will be determined by government officials at the time of fumigation.

6. When turning around at end of beds the tool bar on fumigation implement shall not cover adjacent live tree seedling beds, as seedling damage may result.

7. The "continuous fumigation and tarping system" shall be employed.

The procedure used in this system starts with completion of the first pass, the automatic tarpaulins are laid and covered with soil at least six inches deep in one continuous operation. In the second and succeeding passes, the automatic equipment is adjusted to open furrow only along the advancing edge of the fumigated strip into which the forward edge of the new tarpauling is laid and buried.

Ends of tarpaulins shall be buried a minimum of six inches deep in a previously prepared ditch.

8. The second and succeeding passes are made contiguous to the immed-iately preceding one resulting in a solid uninterrupted tarpaulin covered field extending forward from where the first strip of land was fumigated and covered, with no unfumigated strips intervening.

The automatic equipment deposits glue along the top of the forward edge of the previously buried tarpaulin. The trailing edge of the new tarpaulin is placed on top of and pressed against the glued portion of the previously laid tarpaulin and thus secured. The tarpaulins are to remain in place over the fumigated soil for a minimum of 14 days. Any unglued seams or breaks in tarpaulin will be sealed with gas-proof repair prior to making a new strip.

9. When a fumigant cylinder has been emptied, that point will be de-signated on the ground.

10. Priorities of areas to be fumigated will depend upon soil temper-atures and moisture regimes.

III. INSPECTION

A. The Government will inspect work areas prior to application of fumi-gant to insure adequate moisture and soil temperature.

B. Inspection will be made for treatment of 100% of the areas designated for fumigation, amount of fumigant applied, and compliance with safety provisions.

IV. MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

A. Measurement

1. If the tarpaulins become unglued or experience large tears within 18 hours after fumigant injection, the contractor will be notified and payment will be reduced as to total square feet exposed by the tarpaulin becoming detaced.

2. Exact acreages will be determined by both parties upon completion of project by on-the-ground measurement.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706 Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the Service Contract 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.

ALL OCCUPATIONS LISTED ABOVE RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS:

HEALTH & WELFARE: $4.54 per hour up to 40 hours per week or $181.60 per week or $786.93 per month

HEALTH & WELFARE EO 13706: $4.22 per hour up to 40 hours per week or $168.80 per week or $731.47 per month*

*This rate is to be used only when compensating employees for performance on an SCA-covered contract also covered by EO 13706 Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors. A contractor may not receive credit toward its SCA obligations for any paid sick leave provided pursuant to EO 13706.

VACATION: 2 weeks paid vacation after 1 year of service with a contractor or successor 3 weeks after 5 years and 4 weeks after 15 years. Length of service includes the whole span of continuous service with the present contractor or successor wherever employed and with the predecessor contractors in the performance of similar work at the same Federal facility. (Reg. 29 CFR 4.173)

HOLIDAYS: A minimum of ten paid holidays per year: New Year's Day Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday Washington's Birthday Memorial Day Independence Day Labor Day Columbus Day Veterans' Day Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. (A contractor may substitute for any of the named holidays another day off with pay in accordance with a plan communicated to the employees involved.) (See 29 CFR 4.174)

THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMBERED FOOTNOTES IN PARENTHESES RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING:

1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: Under the SCA at section 8(b) this wage determination does not apply to any employee who individually qualifies as a bona fide executive administrative or professional employee as defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 541. Because most Computer System Analysts and Computer Programmers who are compensated at a rate not less than $27.63 (or on a salary or fee basis at a rate not less than $455 per week) an hour would likely qualify as exempt computer professionals (29 C.F.R. 541.

400) wage rates may not be listed on this wage determination for all occupations within those job families. In addition because this wage determination may not list a wage rate for some or all occupations within those job families if the survey data indicates that the prevailing wage rate for the occupation equals or exceeds $27.63 per hour conformances may be necessary for certain nonexempt employees. For example if an individual employee is nonexempt but nevertheless performs duties within the scope of one of the Computer Systems Analyst or Computer Programmer occupations for which this wage determination does not specify an SCA wage rate then the wage rate for that employee must be conformed in accordance with the conformance procedures described in the conformance note included on this wage determination.

https://beta.sam.gov/wage-determination/2015-5503/9?index=wd&keywords=&is_active=true&sort=-modifiedDate&date_filter_index=0&date_rad_sel… 9/12

Additionally because job titles vary widely and change quickly in the computer industry job titles are not determinative of the application of the computer professional exemption. Therefore the exemption applies only to computer employees who satisfy the compensation requirements and whose primary duty consists of:

(1) The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures including consulting with users to determine hardware software or system functional specifications;

(2) The design development documentation analysis creation testing or modification of computer systems or programs including prototypes based on and related to user or system design specifications;

(3) The design documentation testing creation or modification of computer programs related to machine operating systems; or

(4) A combination of the aforementioned duties the performance of which requires the same level of skills. (29 C.F.R. 541.400).

2) AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS AND WEATHER OBSERVERS - NIGHT PAY & SUNDAY PAY: If you work at night as part of a regular tour of duty you will earn a night differential and receive an additional 10% of basic pay for any hours worked between 6pm and 6am.

If you are a full-time employed (40 hours a week) and Sunday is part of your regularly scheduled workweek you are paid at your rate of basic pay plus a Sunday premium of 25% of your basic rate for each hour of Sunday work which is not overtime (i.e. occasional work on Sunday outside the normal tour of duty is considered overtime work).

** HAZARDOUS PAY DIFFERENTIAL **

An 8 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that represents a high degree of hazard when working with or in close proximity to ordnance explosives and incendiary materials. This includes work such as screening blending dying mixing and pressing of sensitive ordnance explosives and pyrotechnic compositions such as lead azide black powder and photoflash powder.

All dry-house activities involving propellants or explosives. Demilitarization modification renovation demolition and maintenance operations on sensitive ordnance explosives and incendiary materials. All operations involving re-grading and cleaning of artillery ranges.

A 4 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that represents a low degree of hazard when working with or in close proximity to ordnance (or employees possibly adjacent to) explosives and incendiary materials which involves potential injury such as laceration of hands face or arms of the employee engaged in the operation irritation of the skin minor burns and the like;

minimal damage to immediate or adjacent work area or equipment being used. All operations involving unloading storage and hauling of ordnance explosive and incendiary ordnance material other than small arms ammunition. These differentials are only applicable to work that has been specifically designated by the agency for ordnance explosives and incendiary material differential pay.

** UNIFORM ALLOWANCE **

If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this contract (either by the terms of the Government contract by the employer by the state or local law etc.) the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (by laundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by an employee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the wage determination. The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance with the following standards as compliance:

The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with an adequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the actual cost of the uniforms. In addition where uniform cleaning and maintenance is made the responsibility of the employee all contractors and subcontractors subject to this wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective bargaining agreement providing for a different amount or the furnishing of contrary affirmative proof as to the actual cost) reimburse all employees for such cleaning and maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week (or $.67 cents per day). However in those instances where the uniforms furnished are made of ""wash and wear"" materials may be routinely washed and dried with other personal garments and do not require any special treatment such as dry cleaning daily washing or commercial laundering in order to meet the cleanliness or appearance standards set by the terms of the Government contract by the contractor by law or by the nature of the work there is no requirement that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs.

** SERVICE CONTRACT ACT DIRECTORY OF OCCUPATIONS **

The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the ""Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations"" Fifth Edition (Revision 1) dated September 2015 unless otherwise indicated.

** REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND WAGE RATE Standard Form 1444 (SF-1444) **

Conformance Process:

The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee which is not listed herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e. the work to be performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wage determination) be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonable relationship (i.e. appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlisted classifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(i)). Such conforming procedures shall be initiated by the contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es) of employees (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)). The Wage and Hour Division shall make a final determination of conformed classification wage rate and/or fringe benefits which shall be paid to all employees performing in the classification from the first day of work on which contract work is performed by them in the classification. Failure to pay such unlisted employees the compensation agreed upon by the interested parties and/or fully determined by the Wage and Hour Division retroactive to the https://beta.sam.gov/wage-determination/2015-5503/9?index=wd&keywords=&is_active=true&sort=-modifiedDate&date_filter_index=0&date_rad_s… 11/12 date such class of employees commenced contract work shall be a violation of the Act and this contract. (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(v)). When multiple wage determinations are included in a contract a separate SF-1444 should be prepared for each wage determination to which a class(es) is to be conformed.

The process for preparing a conformance request is as follows:

1) When preparing the bid the contractor identifies the need for a conformed occupation(s) and computes a proposed rate(s).

2) After contract award the contractor prepares a written report listing in order the proposed classification title(s) a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for each proposed classification(s) job description(s) and rationale for proposed wage rate(s) including information regarding the agreement or disagreement of the authorized representative of the employees involved or where there is no authorized representative the employees themselves. This report should be submitted to the contracting officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted class(es) of employees performs any contract work.

3) The contracting officer reviews the proposed action and promptly submits a report of the action together with the agency's recommendations and pertinent information including the position of the contractor and the employees to the U.S.

Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division for review (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)).

4) Within 30 days of receipt the Wage and Hour Division approves modifies or disapproves the action via transmittal to the agency contracting officer or notifies the contracting officer that additional time will be required to process the request.

5) The contracting officer transmits the Wage and Hour Division's decision to the contractor.

6) Each affected employee shall be furnished by the contractor with a written copy of such determination or it shall be posted as a part of the wage determination (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(iii)).

Information required by the Regulations must be submitted on SF-1444 or bond paper.

When preparing a conformance request the ""Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations"" should be used to compare job definitions to ensure that duties requested are not performed by a classification already listed in the wage determination. Remember it is not the job title but the required tasks that determine whether a class is included in an established wage determination.

Conformances may not be used to artificially split combine or subdivide classifications listed in the wage determination (See 29 CFR 4.152(c)(1))."
