CONTINUATION PAGE

The purpose of this amendment is to:

• Amend the line item structure, see following pages.

• Extend the bid due date. Bids are now due December 22, 2023, at 12:00 PM MST

• Answer a previous question again:

Q: Quoting from the Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 187 / Thursday, September 28, 2023:

"SUMMARY: The Wage and Hour Division (WHD) of the U.S. Department of Labor

(the Department) is issuing this notice to announce the applicable minimum wage rate for workers performing work on or in connection with federal contracts covered by Executive Order 14026, Increasing the Minimum Wage for Federal Contractors (the Executive Order or the order). Beginning on

January 1, 2024, the Executive Order 14026 minimum wage rate that generally must be paid to workers performing work on or in connection with covered contracts will increase to $17.20 per hour."

We assume the Health and Welfare Benefit minimum required will be unchanged from the

SCA Wage Determination # 2015-5473 Revision 20 referenced in the Solicitation, which calls for $4.98 per hour.

This establishes a total minimum hourly wage for Janitor employees of $22.18, as opposed to the rate shown for Janitors in the referenced SCA WD.

Question: Would the government please confirm that the above accurately establishes the required wage rates under this solicitation, in lieu of the rates shown in the solicitation stated

Wage Determination # 2015-5473 Revision 20?

A: EO 14026 states that hourly minimum wage for contractor employees is $16.20. As per

EO 13706, fringe benefits are to paid at a rate of $4.57 an hour due to being a contract that falls under the SCA.

• Answer previously omitted timely questions:

o Is the contractor responsible for supplying the walk-off mats? No, the government will supply.

o Will the government supply a lay down area in which the contractor can store vehicles and equipment securely? There are janitorial closets for equipment to be stored indoors. There are no places to store vehicles. They can be parked anywhere as long as foot/vehicle traffic is not impeded, and the entrances are not blocked.

o Are the any key personnel required for this contract? Yes. This is discussed in the PWS.

o Is it the government's responsibility to dispose to waste after being relocated to the consolidation point? Yes.

• Include by reference FAR 52.223-2.
