A. Date of Publication Effective January 13, 2024

B. Definition of Building Construction For the purposes of Prevailing Wage, the Commissioner of Labor and Industry has determined that building construction occupations are defined to be those performed by a person engaged in a recognized trade or craft, or any skilled, semi-skilled, or unskilled manual labor related to the construction, alteration, or repair of a public building or facility, and does not include engineering, superintendence, management, office or clerical work.

The Administrative Rules of Montana (ARM), 24.17.501(2) – 2(a), states “Building construction projects generally are the constructions of sheltered enclosures with walk-in access for housing persons, machinery, equipment, or supplies. It includes all construction of such structures, incidental installation of utilities and equipment, both above and below grade level, as well as incidental grading, utilities and paving.

Examples of building construction include, but are not limited to, alterations and additions to buildings, apartment buildings (5 stories and above), arenas (closed), auditoriums, automobile parking garages, banks and financial buildings, barracks, churches, city halls, civic centers, commercial buildings, court houses, detention facilities, dormitories, farm buildings, fire stations, hospitals, hotels, industrial buildings, institutional buildings, libraries, mausoleums, motels, museums, nursing and convalescent facilities, office buildings, out-patient clinics, passenger and freight terminal buildings, police stations, post offices, power plants, prefabricated buildings, remodeling buildings, renovating buildings, repairing buildings, restaurants, schools, service stations, shopping centers, stores, subway stations, theaters, warehouses, water and sewage treatment plants (buildings only), etc.”

C. Definition of Public Works Contract Section 18-2-401(11)(a), MCA defines “public works contract” as “…a contract for construction services let by the state, county, municipality, school district, or political subdivision or for nonconstruction services let by the state, county, municipality, or political subdivision in which the total cost of the contract is in excess of $25,000…”.

D. Prevailing Wage Schedule This publication covers only Building Construction occupations and rates. These rates will remain in effect until superseded by a more current publication. Current prevailing wage rate schedules for Heavy Construction, Highway

Construction, and Nonconstruction Services occupations can be found on the internet at https://erd.dli.mt.gov/labor-standards/state-prevailing-wage-rates/ or by contacting the department at (406) 444-6543.

E. Rates to Use for Projects ARM, 24.17.127(1)(c), states “The wage rates applicable to a particular public works project are those in effect at the time the bid specifications are advertised.”

F. Wage Rate Adjustments for Multiyear Contracts Section 18-2-417, MCA states:

“(1) Any public works contract that by the terms of the original contract calls for more than 30 months to fully perform must include a provision to adjust, as provided in subsection (2), the standard prevailing rate of wages to be paid to the workers performing the contract.

(2) The standard prevailing rate of wages paid to workers under a contract subject to this section must be adjusted 12 months after the date of the award of the public works contract. The amount of the adjustment must be a 3% increase.

The adjustment must be made and applied every 12 months for the term of the contract.

(3) Any increase in the standard rate of prevailing wages for workers under this section is the sole responsibility of the contractor and any subcontractors and not the contracting agency.”

https://erd.dli.mt.gov/labor-standards/state-prevailing-wage-rates/ https://erd.dli.mt.gov/labor-standards/state-prevailing-wage-rates/

G. Fringe Benefits Section 18-2-412, MCA states:

“(1) To fulfill the obligation...a contractor or subcontractor may:

(a) pay the amount of fringe benefits and the basic hourly rate of pay that is part of the standard prevailing rate of wages directly to the worker or employee in cash;

(b) make an irrevocable contribution to a trustee or a third person pursuant to a fringe benefit fund, plan, or program that meets the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or that is a bona fide program approved by the U. S. department of labor; or

(c) make payments using any combination of methods set forth in subsections (1)(a) and (1)(b) so that the aggregate of payments and contributions is not less than the standard prevailing rate of wages, including fringe benefits and travel allowances, applicable to the district for the particular type of work being performed.

(2) The fringe benefit fund, plan, or program described in subsection (1)(b) must provide benefits to workers or employees for health care, pensions on retirement or death, life insurance, disability and sickness insurance, or bona fide programs that meet the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or that are approved by the U. S. department of labor.”

Fringe benefits are paid for all hours worked (straight time and overtime hours). However, fringe benefits are not to be considered a part of the hourly rate of pay for calculating overtime, unless there is a collectively bargained agreement in effect that specifies otherwise.

H. Prevailing Wage Districts Montana counties are aggregated into 4 districts for the purpose of prevailing wage. The prevailing wage districts are composed of the following counties:

I. Dispatch City ARM, 24.17.103(11), defines dispatch city as “...the courthouse in the city from the following list which is closest to the center of the job: Billings, Bozeman, Butte, Great Falls, Helena, Kalispell, Miles City, Missoula and Sidney.” A dispatch city shall be considered the point of origin only for jobs within the counties identified in that district (as shown below):

District 1 – Kalispell and Missoula: includes Flathead, Lake, Lincoln, Mineral, Missoula, Ravalli, and Sanders;

District 2 – Butte and Helena: includes Beaverhead, Broadwater, Deer Lodge, Glacier, Granite, Jefferson, Lewis and Clark, Liberty, Madison, Pondera, Powell, Silver Bow, Teton, and Toole;

District 3 – Bozeman and Great Falls: includes Blaine, Cascade, Chouteau, Fergus, Gallatin, Golden Valley, Hill, Judith Basin, Meagher, Park, Petroleum, Phillips, Sweet Grass, and Wheatland;

District 4 – Billings, Miles City and Sidney: includes Big Horn, Carbon, Carter, Custer, Daniels, Dawson, Fallon, Garfield, McCone, Musselshell, Powder River, Prairie, Richland, Roosevelt, Rosebud, Sheridan, Stillwater, Treasure, Valley, Wibaux, and

Yellowstone.

J. Zone Pay Zone pay is not travel pay. ARM, 24.17.103(24), defines zone pay as “...an amount added to the base pay; the combined sum then becomes the new base wage rate to be paid for all hours worked on the project. Zone pay must be determined by measuring the road miles one way over the shortest practical maintained route from the dispatch city to the center of the job.” See section I above for a list of dispatch cities.

K. Computing Travel Benefits ARM, 24.17.103(22), states “ ‘Travel pay,’ also referred to as ‘travel allowance,’ is and must be paid for travel both to and from the job site, except those with special provisions listed under the classification. The rate is determined by measuring the road miles one direction over the shortest practical maintained route from the dispatch city or the employee's home, whichever is closer, to the center of the job.” See section I above for a list of dispatch cities.

L. Per Diem ARM, 24.17.103(19), states “ ‘Per diem’ typically covers costs associated with board and lodging expenses. Per diem is paid when an employee is required to work at a location outside the daily commuting distance and is required to stay at that location overnight or longer.”

M. Apprentices Wage rates for apprentices registered in approved federal or state apprenticeship programs are contained in those programs. Additionally, Section 18-2-416(2), MCA states “…The full amount of any applicable fringe benefits must be paid to the apprentice while the apprentice is working on the public works contract.” Apprentices not registered in approved federal or state apprenticeship programs will be paid the appropriate journey level prevailing wage rate when working on a public works contract.

N. Posting Notice of Prevailing Wages Section 18-2-406, MCA provides that contractors, subcontractors and employers who are “…performing work or providing construction services under public works contracts, as provided in this part, shall post in a prominent and accessible site on the project or staging area, not later than the first day of work and continuing for the entire duration of the project, a legible statement of all wages and fringe benefits to be paid to the employees.”

O. Employment Preference Sections 18-2-403 and 18-2-409, MCA requires contractors to give preference to the employment of bona fide Montana residents in the performance of work on public works contracts.

P. Projects of a Mixed Nature Section 18-2-408, MCA states:

“(1) The contracting agency shall determine, based on the preponderance of labor hours to be worked, whether the public works construction services project is classified as a highway construction project, a heavy construction project, or a building construction project.

(2) Once the project has been classified, employees in each trade classification who are working on that project must be paid at the rate for that project classification”

Q. Occupations Definitions You can find definitions for these occupations on the following Bureau of Labor Statistics website:

http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_stru.htm

R. Welder Rates Welders receive the rate prescribed for the craft performing an operation to which welding is incidental.

S. Foreman Rates

Rates are no longer set for foremen. However, if a foreman performs journey level work, the foreman must be paid at least the journey level rate.

CTL|T PROJECT NO. MT01140.000-125

SCOPE

CTL|Thompson, Inc. (CTL|T) has completed a geotechnical engineering investigation for the South Fork Road Fire Station that is proposed within the Spanish Peaks development in

Gallatin County, Montana. We conducted this investigation to evaluate subsurface conditions at the site and provide geotechnical engineering recommendations for design and construction of the building. Our geotechnical engineering recommendations were developed with data from our field exploration, laboratory testing, engineering analysis, and our experience with similar conditions. The recommendations in this report are based on the construction as currently planned. Revisions to the planned construction could affect our recommendations. CTL|T should be contacted to participate in design-team meetings so we can provide geotech-nical/geo-structural engineering input.

SITE CONDITIONS

The South Fork Road Fire Station is proposed east of the intersection of South Fork

Road and Inspiration Point Road within the Spanish Peaks Development. A vicinity map with the location of the site is included as Figure 1. The site is bounded by South Fork Road to the south and Inspiration Point Road to the west and north. Vacant land is east of the site. An aerial pho-tograph (dated June 2014) of the site is shown on Figure 2. The site is near the base of a hill that slopes down to the southwest at grades of about 10 to 15 percent. The site has sparse co-niferous trees and ground cover consists of native grass and shrubs. A vehicle pullout is present on the west side of the site.

PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION

CTL|T was provided with schematic design plans for the fire station by OZ Architecture

(OZ) dated March 29, 2024. A plan view of the proposed construction is shown on Figure 3. The fire station will be a two-story building that is partially below-grade on the uphill (northeast) side.

The building will have three apparatus bays for fire trucks, vehicles, and equipment storage. The building will include offices, restrooms, and living quarters. An exterior staircase is planned at the northwest corner of the building. The building will be surrounded by paved parking and ac-cess drives to the south, east and west. Access to the site will be from South Fork Road and In-spiration Point Road.

CH SP ACQUISITION, LLC 2 of 18

CTL|T PROJECT NO. MT01140.000-125

The northeast side of the building will be below-grade. The proposed finished floor ele-vation is 6467 feet, which is about 22 feet below existing grades at the northeast corner. We an-ticipate excavation depth of about 30 feet will be needed at the northeast corner to reach the bottom of proposed subexcavation elevations to facilitate the currently planned construction. We anticipate the contractor intends to lay the temporary excavation back at safe slopes per OSHA standards. It appears fill depths up to about 10 feet are planned at the southwest side of the building. Permanent slopes are planned at inclinations of 2:1 (horizontal:vertical).

Site plans indicate permanent retaining walls are planned east of the building, above the parking area. We were not provided with retaining wall details. It appears a three-tier retaining wall is contemplated, with a total maximum height of about 13 feet. Existing slopes with grades of about 10 to 15 percent are above the proposed retained slope.

SITE GEOLOGY

As part of our geotechnical investigation, we reviewed geologic mapping by the Montana

Bureau of Mines and Geology (MBMG) titled, “Geologic Map of the Sphinx Mountain quadrangle and adjacent parts of the Cameron, Cliff Lake, and Hebgen Dam quadrangles, Montana” by

Russell G. Tysdal (dated 1990). The mapping indicates the site is underlain by bedrock of the

Mowry Shale Formation that is near the ground surface.

The Mowry Shale Formation is described as slope-forming, dark-gray mudstone and silty mudstone, and a few interbeds of siltstone, sandstone, bentonite, coal and coaly shale in the upper part. The lower part of the formation is predominantly gray green, yellow, and brown, or-ange mudstone, bentonitic mudstone, porcellanite; welded tuff and siltstone. The claystone ob-served in our exploratory borings appears to be consistent with the described mudstone in the upper part of the formation. The natural overburden soils encountered in our borings appear to be directly derived from weathering of the underlying bedrock.

Geologic constraints mapping by Treadwell & Rollo (T&R) shows the proposed fire sta-tion site is about 200 feet southeast of the southeastern extent of a mapped landslide desig-nated as LS-13. We do not believe the subject site is at risk of significant lateral ground move-ment.

CTL|T PROJECT NO. MT01140.000-125

Seismicity

Based on criteria set forth in ASCE/SEI7-16, we estimate a Seismic Site Class C for the proposed fire station site. Assuming a Risk Category II for the structure, we estimate a peak ground acceleration (PGA) of 0.369, a maximum earthquake spectral response acceleration for the short period (SS) of 0.852, and a maximum spectral response acceleration for the 1-second period (S1) of 0.272. A geophysical consultant can utilize field testing methods, such as multi-channel analysis of surface waves (MASW), to measure the shear wave velocity in the upper

100 feet of the subsurface profile. This would provide data to determine whether a Site Class B can be used for structural design.

SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS

We investigated subsurface conditions at the site by observing excavation of two explor-atory pits (TP-1 and TP-2) in proposed pavement areas and drilling three exploratory borings

(TH-1, TH-2, and TH-3) near the proposed structure footprint. Approximate locations of the ex-ploratory pits and borings are shown on Figures 2 and 3. The pits were excavated with a track-hoe on March 7, 2024.
