Flagstaff Lab Flooring Replacement, Pre-Bid 05/17/18 1300 MST

Attendees: Anthony Salas, Cary Pence, Joe Pierre, Alert Const., Pointe Construction, and R2 Dynamics

General Notes:

• This is a small business set-aside RFP.

• Ensure that all requirements for sections L & M are complete in proposals.

Questions:

Q – Is the correct wage determination included?

A – Wage Determination changed to AZ180005 01/05/2018 AZ5.

Q – Has a Hazardous Materials Survey been performed?

A – Due to age, we don’t believe the tiles contain asbestos; NAU did a test in the past few years (Christine B-W may have this information).

Q – Is there a designated staging area outside the building? Inside the building? (Tiles must be acclimated for a specified time-period)

A – Nothing specifically designated, but we should be able to use one bay of the loading dock. Inside, tiles may be placed in agree-upon alcove areas.

Q – Is there phasing that is required for construction?

A – Not specifically, but the Contractor should execute their operations to minimize impacts on USFS employees. (Not sure this is written in the Statement of Work, but could revise to include)

Q – Does award go to lowest bid?

A – Sections L & M indicate that award will be based upon best value.

Q – What is the size of the replacement cove base?

A – Match the existing cove base.

Q – How is cove base replacement paid for, incidental to one item?

A – Cove base is incidental to the flooring installation.

Q – What are the limits of the VCT replacement? Eg – Lab doorways

A – Most lab doorways we examined had a tile seam at the door threshold location. Full tile replacement, without a transition should be planned for.

Q – Is wall touch-up painting to be included as a part of the cove base replacement?

A – Touch-up painting should be included as necessary if wall is damaged in removal of base cove.

Q – Is there are specification for concrete sanding/polishing/sealing after flooring removal at the Greenhouse?

A – There is no specification for concrete floor finishing after the flooring removal at the Greenhouse.

Upon finishing removal of the flooring, the area should be in a condition that allows for it to appear as a finished shop concrete floor as found in the adjoining rooms and hallways.

Q – Is cove base to be replaced at the Greenhouse?

A – Yes, match existing.

Q – Observed that the specification for the walk-off mats may just be for the carpet-type WO mat. Will need a clarification, if both are not included.

A – Notice that there are two specifications for entrance flooring systems based upon the existing condition. (124813.13 and 124840)

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, injured, 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 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) (ii)).

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

(weighted union average rate).

Union Rate Identifiers

A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" or

"UAVG" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:

PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which 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. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014.

Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate.

Survey Rate Identifiers

Classifications listed under the "SU" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of 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. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted.

Union Average Rate Identifiers

Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010

08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

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

* an existing published wage determination

* a survey underlying a wage determination

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

* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour

Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the

Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.)

and 3.) should be followed.

With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations

Wage and Hour Division

U.S. Department of Labor

200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator

(See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:

Wage and Hour Administrator

U.S. Department of Labor

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

3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative

Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:

Administrative Review Board

U.S. Department of Labor

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