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.

Attachments, Page 7 of 70

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

Attachments, Page 8 of 70 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.

109.10 Methods of Measurement.

One of the following methods of measurement for determining final payment is DESIGNATED IN THE SCHEDULE OF ITEMS for each PAY ITEM:

(a) Contract Quantities (CQ). These quantities to be paid are the quantities shown in the bid schedule. The contract quantity will be adjusted for authorized changes that affect the quantity or for errors made in computing this quantity. If there is evidence that a quantity specified as a contract quantity is incorrect, submit calculations, drawings, or other

Attachments, Page 24 of 70 evidence indicating why the quantity is in error and request, in writing, that the quantity be adjusted. Contract quantities will be adjusted only when there are errors in the original design of 15% or more.

(b) Stake Quantities (SQ). These quantities are determined from staked measurements prior to construction.

(c) Actual Quantities (AQ). These quantities are determined from measurements of completed work.

(d) Vehicle Quantities (VQ). These quantities are measured or weighed in hauling vehicles.

(e) Lump Sum Quantities (LSQ). These quantities denote one complete unit of work as required by or described in the contract, including necessary materials, equipment, and labor to complete the job.

109.11 Determination of Quantities.

(a) The following measurements and calculations shall be used to determine contract quantities for payment.

(1) For individual construction items, longitudinal and lateral measurements for area computations shall be made horizontally or corrected to horizontal measurement unless otherwise specified. Measurements for geotextiles, netting and erosion control blankets shall be along slope lines.

(2) For excavation or embankment volumes, the average end area method shall be used to compute volumes. However, if in the judgment of the Contracting Officer (CO), the average end area method is impractical, measurement shall be made by volume in hauling vehicles or by other three-dimensional methods.

(3) For Structures, they shall be measured according to neat lines shown on the drawings or as altered by the CO, in writing, to fit field conditions.

(4) For items that are measured by the linear foot, such as pipe culverts, fencing, guardrail, piping, utilities, and underdrains, measurements shall be made parallel to the base or foundation upon which the structures are placed.

(5) For aggregates weighed for payment, the tonnage shall not be adjusted for moisture content, unless otherwise provided for.

(6) For standard manufactured items (such as fence, wire, plates, rolled shapes, pipe conduits) identified by gauge, weight, section dimensions, and so forth, such identifications shall be considered the nominal weights or dimensions. Unless controlled by tolerances in cited specifications, manufacturer's tolerances shall be accepted.

SILT FENCE

Prior to construction, install silt fence along the downhill construction limits to prevent silt intrusion upon adjacent land.

A. Silt fences are appropriate for the following general locations:

1. Immediately upstream of the point(s) of runoff discharge from a site before flow becomes concentrated. Below disturbed areas where runoff may occur in the form of overland flow.

2. Along the down slope toe of all top soil stock piles.

B. Properties.

1. Use pervious sheet of polypropylene, nylon, or polyethylene fabric conforming to the following physical and hydraulic characteristics:

• Physical Properties

(Min.)

Requirement Test Method

• Grab Tensile, lbs. W120/F100 ASTM-D-4632

• Grab Elongation, % 15 ASTM-D-4632

• Mullen Burst, psi 275 ASTM-D-3786

• Puncture, lbs. 65 ASTM-D-4833

• Trapezoidal Tear, lbs. 50 ASTM-D-4533

• UV Resistance, % 80 ASTM-D-4355

• AOS, US Sieve # 30/40 ASTM-D-4751

• Permittivity gal/min-sq. ft. 90 ASTM-D-4491

2. Filter fabric should contain ultraviolet ray inhibitors and stabilizers to provide a minimum of 6 months of expected usable construction life at a temperature range of 0 to 120 F.

3. Utilize standard strength synthetic filter fabric for sediment barriers. The filter fabric shall be purchased in a continuous roll cut to the length of the barrier to avoid the use of joints. When joints are necessary, filter cloth shall be spliced together only at a support post, with a minimum 6 inch overlap, and securely sealed.

4. The standard strength filter fabric shall be stapled or wired to the fence and 6 inches of the fabric shall be extended into the ground. Filter fabric shall not be stapled to existing trees.

Attachments, Page 33 of 70

5. Support posts shall be spaced at a maximum 6 feet and driven securely into the ground a minimum of 24 inches.

6. Filter fabric shall be buried a minimum of 12 inches.

7. The height of a silt fence shall not exceed 36 inches. Higher fences may impound volumes of water sufficient to cause failure of the structure.

C. Maintenance.

1. Silt fences and filter barriers shall be inspected immediately after each rainfall and at least daily during prolonged rainfall.

2. Silt fences shall be inspected for depth of sediment, tears, and to see if the fabric is securely attached to the fence posts, and to see that the fence posts are firmly in the ground. Any deficiencies shall be repaired immediately.

3. Should the fabric on a silt fence of filter barrier decompose or become ineffective prior to the end of the expected usable life and the barrier still be necessary, the fabric shall be replaced promptly.

4. Sediment deposits should be removed after each storm event and/or when deposits reach approximately 1/3 the height of the barrier or when the sediments limit or prevent the flow of water through the fabric hydraulic.

5. Any sediment deposits remaining in place after the silt fence or filter barrier is no longer required shall be dressed to conform with the existing grade, prepared, and seeded.

Support Posts: 4 foot - 2 x 2 wood.

STRAW BALE EROSION CONTROL FENCE

Install straw bales at local drainage ways to prevent silt intrusion upon drainage courses. Remove straw bales following establishment of vegetation cover and utilize as mulch at swales or on steep slopes. Use dry oat or wheat straw, free from weeds, viable weed seeds, and foreign matter.

A. Grass hay bales are not acceptable.

1. In order to prevent deterioration of the bindings, all bales shall be either wire-bound or string-tied so that bindings are oriented around the sides rather than along the tops and bottoms of the bales.

B. Straw bale erosion control fences are appropriate for the following general locations:

1. Sheet flow applications: Straw bales shall be placed in a single row, lengthwise on the contour with ends of adjacent bales tightly abutting one another.

2. Channel flow applications: Straw bales shall be placed in a single row, lengthwise and oriented perpendicular to the direction of flow with ends of adjacent bales tightly abutting one another. The barrier shall be extended to such a length that the bottoms of the end bales are higher in elevation than the top of the lowest middle bale to assure that sediment laden runoff will flow either through or over the barrier but not around it.

Attachments, Page 34 of 70

C. The barrier shall be entrenched and backfilled. A trench shall be excavated the width of a bale and the length of the proposed barrier to a minimum depth of 4 inches. After the bales are staked and chinked, the excavated soil shall be backfilled against the barrier. Backfill shall conform to the ground level of the downhill side and shall be built up to 4 inches against the uphill side of the barrier.

D. Each bale shall be securely anchored by at least 2 stakes or rebar driven through the bale.

The first stake in each bale shall be driven toward the previously laid bale to force the bales together. Stakes or rebar shall be driven a minimum of 12 inches into the ground or deep enough into the ground to securely anchor the bales, whichever is greater.

E. The gaps between bales shall be chinked (filled by wedging with straw to prevent water from escaping between the bales). Loose straw scattered over the area immediately uphill from a straw bale barrier tends to increase barrier efficiency.

STRAW WATTLE OR ROLL

A. Straw wattles shall be installed in accordance to manufacturer’s installation guidelines.

B. At a minimum:

1. Furnish straw wattles or rolls that are manufactured from weed free straw and wrapped in a tubular photodegradable plastic netting made from 85% high density polyethylene, 14% ethyl vinyl acetate and 1% color for UV inhibition. Conform to the following:

Diameter 9 inches min.

Netting strand thickness 0.030 inches Netting knot thickness 0.055 inches Mass of netting 0.315 to 0.385 ounces per foot

2. The wattle shall be entrenched and backfilled. A trench shall be excavated the width of the straw waddle and the length of the proposed barrier to a depth of 2-3 inches.

3. Each wattle shall be securely anchored by at least one 18-24 inch stake every 3-4 feet and with a stake on each end. Stakes shall be driven perpendicular to slope face through the middle of the wattle until 2-3 inches remains exposed above the waddle.

4. After the wattles are staked, compact excavated soil against the uphill side of the barrier.

5. Adjacent wattles should tightly abut.

C. Maintenance inspections shall be frequent and repair or replacement shall be made promptly as needed. Straw bale carriers shall be removed when they have served their usefulness, but not before the upslope areas have been permanently stabilized.
