The Government reserves the rights to obtain and evaluate past performance information from any source it deems appropriate. Information related to the contractor’s (or contractor’s team) performance in Quality, Schedule, Management, Regulatory Compliance and Safety/Security will be reviewed from the aforementioned additional sources to determine if the offeror is “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable.

The Offeror’s submission for this factor shall be fully completed. Offeror completeness addresses the extent to which the elements of the price proposal are consistent with the requirements of the RFP.

Offerors are required to submit the following:

(1) Completed Bid Schedule (see Section 00010A).

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)).

http://www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts

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.

SECTION 00 33 50 WEATHER, WATER STAGE AND TIDE DATA

SECTION 00 33 50 Page 1

1. The following water stage, wind, wave, and weather data are provided for inclusion into the subject P&S. The water level datums provided here are for information only and are not for use in conjunction with any contract-related hydrographic surveying.

a) Water Stages. Water levels in the project area are mainly affected by wind and semi-diurnal tidal fluctuations from the Atlantic Ocean, but could also be affected by riverine influences from the St. Johns River. The project area is subject to tropical system storm surge from June through November. Surge from extratropical storms may affect the area any time of the year.

Elevations of tidal datums in the vicinity of the project area were gathered using the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Ocean Service (NOS) tide stations shown in Figure 1 and Table 1. These data are referenced to Mean Lower-Low Water (MLLW) from the tidal epoch period of 1983 – 2001 and are based on a controlling tide station near Mayport, Florida (NOAA Tide Station 8720220). Additional tidal data on stations in the vicinity of the subject project area can be found at the following website:

https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/map/index.html?region=Florida.

The elevations in Table 1 were taken from NOAA’s Tide Station 8720221 (Fulton, St. Johns River, FL). These datums are based on a 5-month analysis from October 1977 – February 1978 from a gauge on the St. Johns River, which is roughly 0.8 miles (mi) east of the project area.

Daily tidal predictions at locations along the coastline of North and South America, including locations in the vicinity of the project area, are included in the publication East Coast of North and South America Tide Tables, United States (U.S.) Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Ocean Service. In addition to daily tidal predictions, this publication provides mean tide levels, diurnal tide ranges, and some astronomical data (sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and moonset). Of note, tidal data provided in this publication are also listed at the following website: https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/tide_predictions.html.

b) Wind and Wave Data. The publications in this section include wind and wave information in the vicinity of the project area. They are available for review at the websites or agencies indicated.

1. U.S. Coast Pilot Volume 4, Atlantic Coast: Cape Henry to Key West, U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Ocean Service is a publication that supplements the navigational information shown on NOAA’s NOS nautical charts and provides miscellaneous meteorological data. This publication is available through NOAA or on the following website: https://nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/publications/coast-pilot/index.html.

2. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Coastal & Hydraulics Laboratory, Wave Information Study (WIS) Database is a wave hindcast database for various stations located along the U.S.

Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean coastlines. WIS Station 63407 is located in roughly 15.0 meters (m) of water relative to the Mean Sea Level (MSL) datum (i.e. 49.2 feet [ft] MSL) at 30° 25.2' N, 81° 15.0' W. This station lies approximately 9.0 mi east of the mouth of the St. Johns River. Available data includes a hindcast time series of wave heights, periods, and directions taken at 1-hour intervals for the 35-year period of 1980 – 2014. The following website provides links to WIS summary tables and plots, as well as other sources of wave data: http://wis.usace.army.mil/.

3. National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) Website provides a wide range of real-time and archived meteorological and oceanographic data collected at offshore and nearshore stations worldwide. Data provided on this website include wind speed, wind gusts, atmospheric pressure, air temperature, sea temperature, wave height, and wave period. Gauge readings are updated https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/tide_predictions.html https://nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/publications/coast-pilot/index.html http://wis.usace.army.mil/

SECTION 00 33 50 Page 3 hourly, and archived data is available for most stations. The website address for data relevant to Florida projects is http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/maps/Florida.shtml.

c) Weather Conditions. The project area is subject to tropical systems June through November and to windy and rainy weather any time of the year. The climate of the area is essentially tropical, as temperatures below freezing are seldom. During the wet season (May through October), rainfall events are usually short and sporadic and closely associated with convective activity. Winter months generally constitute the dry season, where rainfall is typically associated with mid-latitude, or extratropical, systems and distributed in a more spatially uniform pattern. Daily rainfall events in the dry season are occasionally heavy when mid-latitude systems impact northeast Florida.

Notably, hazardous thunderstorms can occur in this area at any time of the year.

1. It is the contractor's responsibility to obtain information concerning weather conditions in the project area. The Climate Data Online website (http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/) published by NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (formerly the National Climatic Data Center) in Asheville, North Carolina contains climatological and meteorological data relevant to this region. Available data includes quality-controlled daily, monthly, seasonal, and yearly measurements of temperature, precipitation, wind, and degree days as well as radar data and 30-year climate normals.

NOAA’s Climate Data Online website also includes 1981 – 2010 Monthly Normals at the following website: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/datatools/normals. This product provides monthly average values for temperature, precipitation, and other information. NOAA’s Jacksonville Craig Municipal Airport, FL gauge (ID USW00053860) lies roughly 4.3 miles south of the project area at 30° 20.2' N, 81° 30.9' W, where monthly normal rainfall data are provided over the period of record from January 2010 to December 2010.
