MASTER BPA

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER PROJECT SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO ALL

WORK PERFORMED UNDER THIS CONTRACT

The Kennedy Space Center project specific requirements supporting Contract Section I are identified in this Attachment J.2. Nothing contained in this Attachment J.2. shall relieve the Contractor from complying with other requirements of this Agreement, which are not identified and described in this

Attachment J.2. All costs associated with the requirements of this Attachment J.2. are included in the firm-fixed price of each BPA call.

J.2.1. UTILITY OUTAGE, ENERGIZED ELECTRICAL WORK, ELECTRICAL

HAZARD ANALYSIS, AND EXCAVATION PERMITS (AUG 2018)

(a) Utility Outage Requests and Electrical Work Permits

(1) Utility Outage Requests: All outages required during the prosecution of work which affects utility systems, such as electrical, water, fire detection and protection systems and air handling systems will require permits. Work shall be scheduled to hold outages to a minimum. Request for utility outage permits shall be made in writing to the Contracting

Officer at least fourteen (14) working days in advance of the time required. The request shall state the system involved, area involved, approximate time of outage, and the nature of the work involved. The fact that the Contractor requests an outage for a specific time period does not necessarily mean that the outage will take place. Due to the nature of the operations at Kennedy Space Center, the Contractor probably will not know until the day before the requested date if the outage will take place as scheduled. All outages will take place outside regular working hours. The Contractor will not be entitled to additional payment for working irregular hours due to outages.

(2) Electrical Work Permits: Prior to beginning work on an electrical system under an approved outage, the Contractor shall obtain an executed Work Permit (form number KSC-

26-400NS) from the Institutional Services Contractor, and then execute complex lockout/tag-out procedures for all Work Permit related work as follows:

(i) The Contractor’s employee in charge of the required lockout/tag-out shall be present at the time the Government switches high-, medium-, or low-voltage circuits under

Government access control which are to be locked and tagged out by the Contractor.

The Contractor shall coordinate with the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) for the required switching period time and date. Due to KSC operational considerations the switching period time and date may be at any time, and outside of normal working hours or work days.

(ii) Once Government switching is complete the Contractor’s employee in charge of the lockout/tag-out shall sign the Work Permit and immediately install the required OSHA compliant lockout / tag-out on the required switching device(s). Once installed the

Contractor’s employee in charge of the lockout/tag-out shall individually note the locations of the locks and tags on the Work Permit form.

(iii) A lockout/tag-out lock box shall be used for all such lockout / tag-outs. The key(s) from the lock(s) installed by the Contractor’s employee in charge of the lockout/tag-out shall be placed in the box and the employee in charge shall place an additional personal lock on the lock box to secure the keys inside. Lock box shall be kept at the work site and all other Contractor employees shall attach their personal lockout/tag-out on this box at any time they are working on the applicable equipment.

(iv) At the start of the first standard work period following the lockout/tag-out of a

Government switched circuit for which a Work Permit is issued, the Contractor’s employee in charge of the lockout/tag-out shall complete the required lockout/tag-out

(lock box) procedures. Immediately upon completing the lockout/tag-out the

Contractor shall verify no voltage is present on all circuit conductors using suitable testing equipment, safe work practices, and all required personal protective equipment. All other circuit safeguards such as grounding shall occur immediately after the voltage test and each safeguard shall be individually recorded on the Work

Permit.

(b) Energized Electrical Work and Hazard Analysis

(1) Live parts to which an employee might be exposed shall be put into an electrically safe work condition before an employee works on or near them, unless the employer can demonstrate that de-energizing introduces additional or increased hazards or is infeasible due to equipment design or operational limitations. If live parts are not placed in an electrically safe work condition (i.e., due to increased or additional hazards or infeasibility), work to be performed shall be considered energized electrical work. Safety plans, job hazard analysis, and work practices for work on or in proximity to energized parts shall be in accordance with KNPR 8715.7, KSC Construction Contractor Safety and

Health Practices Procedural Requirements.

(c) Excavation Permits:

The Contractor shall request and obtain excavation permit(s) prior to performing any excavation.

KSC Form 26-312V3 NS, Utility Locate/Excavation Permit Request, shall be prepared by the

Contractor and submitted to the Government for approval at least 15 working days prior to the planned excavation date. The Contractor shall comply with the requirements of the Institutional

Base Support Contractor’s "Utility Locate / Excavation Permit Procedure” ENG-I-MP07 (latest revision), in the preparation, submission and use of the permit(s).

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.
