PSMFC personnel have specialized technical expertise in the operation of the state-of-the-art AutoFish tagging systems, and no other contractor can provide personnel with the unique technical expertise to operate the Autofish tagging systems.

Because of the unique expertise required to operate the Autofish tagging systems, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife require that PSMFC staff be the only contractor permitted to operate the Autofish systems (see attached memo from CDFW dated March 15, 2016) . Marking/tagging fish using manual techniques is the only alternative to marking/tagging with the automated system, and would result in an unacceptable delay in the speed of work, a significant increase in program cost while, and provide decreased precision and effectiveness. For these reasons, the PSMFC has been contracted to mark all juvenile salmon and steelhead produced at the Coleman NFH Complex since at 2007.

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Mark and Tag Juvenile Late-fall Chinook Salmon and

Steelhead at the Coleman National Fish Hatchery

PR Number: ____________

1. General:

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is required by Fish and Game Code of the State of California to apply an externally visible mark to all steelhead (approx. 650,000) released from the Coleman National Fish Hatchery. Additionally, the USFWS is mandated by the National Marine Fisheries Service (2009 RPA with 2011 amendments; Action IV.3) and through agreement with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the California Department of Water Resources applies to apply an externally visible mark and coded-wire tag (CWT) to all juvenile late-fall Chinook salmon prior to their release from the Coleman National Fish Hatchery.

The following definitions apply throughout this document:

Mark: Complete removal of the adipose fin without long-term injury to the fish; accomplished for the purpose of applying a permanent, life-long indicator of hatchery origin.

CWT: Insertion of a coded-wire tag into the cartilage of a fishes snout without long-term injury to the fish; accomplished for the purpose of permanently identifying late-fall Chinook as originating at the Coleman National Fish Hatchery.

MATS: An automated Marking and Tagging System, developed and produced by Northwest Marine Technology, Inc., which increases the throughput (speed) and accuracy of marking and tagging juvenile salmonids, while reducing the detrimental effects these activities may have to fishes.

1.1 Purpose/End Application: This project entails the following two activities: (1) Apply a Mark and CWT to the entire production (approx. 1.1 million) of brood year 2023 juvenile late-fall Chinook at the Coleman National Fish Hatchery, and (2) Apply a Mark to the entire production (approx. 650,000) of brood year 2023 juvenile steelhead at the Coleman National Fish Hatchery.

1.2 Contractor Qualifications: To ensure a high level of speed and accuracy required for this project, while at the same time reducing stress and injuries to fish, all marking and CWT services are to be conducted using a MATS trailer (Northwest Marine Technology, Inc., Shaw Island WA). To perform this work, qualified contractors must possess or have access to no less than two MATS marking and tagging systems and have specialized experience and technical expertise in the operation of these automated tagging systems.

2. Place of Performance and Period of Performance

2.1 Place of Performance Coleman National Fish Hatchery, 24411 Coleman Fish Hatchery Road, Anderson, CA 96007. Phone: (530) 365-8622

2.2 Performance start and end date: Marking and CWT activities are targeted to begin as soon as May 01, 2023, however, the exact date of commencement of work is uncertain, and the contractor must be flexible because the work schedule can be influenced by a variety of factors beyond human control. For example, specific start dates will be based on when juvenile fish reach a size sufficient to be efficiently processed through the MATS trailers; fish growth (i.e., size) is variable and cannot be predicted with certainty. Once started, marking and CWT will generally continue until all the brood year 2023 juvenile late-fall Chinook and steelhead have been marked and CWT or until worked is stopped at the direction of the USFWS. For example, it may be necessary to stop marking and CWT if necessitated by environmental conditions that could endanger the health and well-being of the fish; conditions that may evoke such a determination include as disease outbreaks and excessively warm water temperatures. In these scenarios, it may be necessary to temporarily suspend work marking and tagging activities, which will be resumed when the causal factors have been mitigated. Delay or termination of work for these reasons will be determined by the Service and coordinated with the contractor as being necessary to accomplish project objectives while protecting the health and well-being of fish. Should it become necessary to temporarily suspend marking and tagging activities, the Primary or Secondary Contacts of the USFWS will notify the contractor of the situation and plan an alternate schedule for performing the work. Due to constraints associated with funding for the marking and tagging of late-fall Chinook Salmon, these activities should be completed by June 30, 2023. If necessary to extend work on marking and tagging late-fall Chinook salmon beyond June 30, 2023, then the contractor must pause work after June 30 and notify the Service contact to initiate a contract modification prior to resuming work. Marking of juvenile Steelhead should be completed before July 31, 2023. All work must be completed by October 31, 2023.

The contractor will meet with Primary or Secondary Contact of the USFW to coordinate a work schedule. Marking and tagging will generally occur Monday-Friday, but work schedules may be adjusted, as necessary, based on a variety of circumstances, including: extreme weather conditions, holidays, continuity of government work, the need to medicate fishes to treat for disease, and the need to provide time for smaller-sized fish to grow. The project start date and daily work schedules will be coordinated between the contractor and the identified Primary and/or Secondary contacts of the USFWS.

2.3 Normal duty hours: Monday thru Friday 7:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. In the event of emergencies, contractor shall provide contact information. An exception will be made to allow work outside of the normal duty hours, including overtime, if the work is coordinated in advance and approved by either the primary or secondary contact of the USFWS and if necessary to accommodate UFWS recommendations associated with maintaining favorable fish health or to accommodate increased efficiencies of time or expense.

2.4 Non-duty hours: Non-duty hours include week nights, weekends, and Government holidays (New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, President's day, Juneteenth, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Columbus Day, Christmas).

3. Scope

3.1 The contractor will supply and deliver an Autofish automated fish marking and tagging system to the Coleman NFH and provide a work crew to Mark and CWT the entire hatchery production (approx. 1.1 million) of brood year 2023 late-fall Chinook salmon and Mark the entire hatchery production (approx. 650,000) of brood year 2023 steelhead. The contractor will supply all necessary tools and equipment to complete the tasks with the exception of coded-wire tags, which will be provided by the USFWS. Late-fall Chinook will be located in 14 raceways containing approximately 80,000 fish, and a uniquely coded CWT will be applied to all the fish in each raceway. Steelhead to be marked will be located in 14 raceways containing about 45,000 fish each. Fish will be handled carefully, to avoid incidental injury and mortality.

4. Deliverables a n d / or Delivery Schedule:

4.1 Application of a Mark and CWT to the entire hatchery production of brood year 2023 juvenile late-fall Chinook should be completed by June 30, 2023. If necessary to extend work on marking and tagging late-fall Chinook salmon beyond June 30, 2023, then the contractor must suspend work on June 30 and notify the Service contact to secure a contract modification prior to resuming work.

Marking of juvenile Steelhead should be completed before July 31, 2023, but may occur as late as October 31, 2023, for the reasons stated above.

4.2 At the conclusion of marking/tagging each raceway, the contractor will provide to the USFWS’ on-site representative the numbers of fish successfully processed and incidental mortalities from each rearing unit. A summary containing the information contained in Table 1 (below) will be provided to the USFWS at the conclusion of marking and CWT activities.

***Workers in this classification may be entitled to a higher minimum wage under Executive Order 14026 ($16.20 per hour) or 13658 ($12.15 per hour). Please see the Note at the top of the wage determination for more information. Please also note that the minimum wage requirements of Executive Order 14026 and 13658 are not currently being enforced as to contracts or contract-like instruments entered into with the federal government in connection with seasonal recreational services or seasonal recreational equipment rental for the general public on federal lands.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors, applies to all contracts subject to the Service Contract 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 https://sam.gov/wage-determination/2015-5627/17 9/12 reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is the 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.

ALL OCCUPATIONS LISTED ABOVE RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS:

HEALTH & WELFARE: $4.80 per hour, up to 40 hours per week, or $192.00 per week or $832.00 per month

HEALTH & WELFARE EO 13706: $4.41 per hour, up to 40 hours per week, or $176.40 per week, or $764.40 per month*

*This rate is to be used only when compensating employees for performance on an SCA-covered contract also covered by EO 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors. A contractor may not receive credit toward its SCA obligations for any paid sick leave provided pursuant to EO 13706.

VACATION: 2 weeks paid vacation after 1 year of service with a contractor or successor, 3 weeks after 5 years, and 4 weeks after 15 years. Length of service includes the whole span of continuous service with the present contractor or successor, wherever employed, and with the predecessor contractors in the performance of similar work at the same Federal facility. (Reg. 29 CFR 4.173)

HOLIDAYS: A minimum of eleven paid holidays per year: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. (A contractor may substitute for any of the named holidays another day off with pay in accordance with a plan communicated to the employees involved.) (See 29 CFR 4.174)

THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMBERED FOOTNOTES IN PARENTHESES RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING:

1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: This wage determination does not apply to any individual employed in a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional capacity, as defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 541. (See 41 C.F.R. 6701(3)). Because most Computer Systems Analysts and Computer Programmers who are paid at least $27.63 per hour (or at least $684 per week if paid on a salary or fee basis) likely qualify as exempt computer professionals under 29 U.S.C. 213(a)(1) and 29 U.S.C. 213(a)(17), this wage determination may not include wage rates for all occupations within those job families. In such instances, a conformance will be necessary if there are nonexempt employees in these job families working on the contract.

Job titles vary widely and change quickly in the computer industry, and are not determinative of whether an employee is an exempt computer professional. To be exempt, computer employees who satisfy the compensation requirements must also have a primary duty that consists of:

(1) The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures, including consulting with users, to determine hardware, software or system functional specifications;

(2) The design, development, documentation, analysis, creation, testing or modification of computer systems or programs, including prototypes, based on and related to user or system design specifications;

https://sam.gov/wage-determination/2015-5627/17 10/12

(3) The design, documentation, testing, creation or modification of computer programs related to machine operating systems; or

(4) A combination of the aforementioned duties, the performance of which requires the same level of skills. (29 C.F.R. 541.400).

Any computer employee who meets the applicable compensation requirements and the above duties test qualifies as an exempt computer professional under both section 13(a)(1) and section 13(a)(17) of the Fair Labor Standards Act. (Field Assistance Bulletin No. 2006-3 (Dec. 14, 2006)). Accordingly, this wage determination will not apply to any exempt computer employee regardless of which of these two exemptions is utilized.

2) AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS AND WEATHER OBSERVERS - NIGHT PAY & SUNDAY PAY: If you work at night as part of a regular tour of duty, you will earn a night differential and receive an additional 10% of basic pay for any hours worked between 6pm and 6am.

If you are a full-time employed (40 hours a week) and Sunday is part of your regularly scheduled workweek, you are paid at your rate of basic pay plus a Sunday premium of 25% of your basic rate for each hour of Sunday work which is not overtime (i.e. occasional work on Sunday outside the normal tour of duty is considered overtime work).

** HAZARDOUS PAY DIFFERENTIAL **

An 8 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that represents a high degree of hazard when working with or in close proximity to ordnance, explosives, and incendiary materials. This includes work such as screening, blending, dying, mixing, and pressing of sensitive ordnance, explosives, and pyrotechnic compositions such as lead azide, black powder and photoflash powder.

All dry-house activities involving propellants or explosives. Demilitarization, modification, renovation, demolition, and maintenance operations on sensitive ordnance, explosives and incendiary materials. All operations involving re-grading and cleaning of artillery ranges.

A 4 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that represents a low degree of hazard when working with, or in close proximity to ordnance, (or employees possibly adjacent to) explosives and incendiary materials which involves potential injury such as laceration of hands, face, or arms of the employee engaged in the operation, irritation of the skin, minor burns and the like;

minimal damage to immediate or adjacent work area or equipment being used. All operations involving, unloading, storage, and hauling of ordnance, explosive, and incendiary ordnance material other than small arms ammunition. These differentials are only applicable to work that has been specifically designated by the agency for ordnance, explosives, and incendiary material differential pay.

** UNIFORM ALLOWANCE **

If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this contract (either by the terms of the Government contract, by the employer, by the state or local law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (by laundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by an employee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the wage determination. The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance with the following standards as compliance:

The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with an adequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the actual https://sam.gov/wage-determination/2015-5627/17 11/12 cost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and maintenance is made the responsibility of the employee, all contractors and subcontractors subject to this wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective bargaining agreement providing for a different amount, or the furnishing of contrary affirmative proof as to the actual cost), reimburse all employees for such cleaning and maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week (or $.67 cents per day). However, in those instances where the uniforms furnished are made of ""wash and wear"" materials, may be routinely washed and dried with other personal garments, and do not require any special treatment such as dry cleaning, daily washing, or commercial laundering in order to meet the cleanliness or appearance standards set by the terms of the Government contract, by the contractor, by law, or by the nature of the work, there is no requirement that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs.

** SERVICE CONTRACT ACT DIRECTORY OF OCCUPATIONS **

The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the ""Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations"", Fifth Edition (Revision 1), dated September 2015, unless otherwise indicated.

** REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND WAGE RATE, Standard Form 1444 (SF-1444) **

Conformance Process:

The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee which is not listed herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e., the work to be performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wage determination), be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonable relationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlisted classifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(i)). Such conforming procedures shall be initiated by the contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es) of employees (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)). The Wage and Hour Division shall make a final determination of conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits which shall be paid to all employees performing in the classification from the first day of work on which contract work is performed by them in the classification. Failure to pay such unlisted employees the compensation agreed upon by the interested parties and/or fully determined by the Wage and Hour Division retroactive to the date such class of employees commenced contract work shall be a violation of the Act and this contract. (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(v)). When multiple wage determinations are included in a contract, a separate SF-1444 should be prepared for each wage determination to which a class(es) is to be conformed.

The process for preparing a conformance request is as follows:

1) When preparing the bid, the contractor identifies the need for a conformed occupation(s) and computes a proposed rate(s).

2) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report listing in order the proposed classification title(s), a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for each proposed classification(s), job description(s), and rationale for proposed wage rate(s), including information regarding the agreement or disagreement of the authorized representative of the employees involved, or where there is no authorized representative, the employees themselves. This report should be submitted to the contracting officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted class(es) of employees performs any contract work.

3) The contracting officer reviews the proposed action and promptly submits a report https://sam.gov/wage-determination/2015-5627/17 12/12 of the action, together with the agency's recommendations and pertinent information including the position of the contractor and the employees, to the U.S.

Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division, for review (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)).

4) Within 30 days of receipt, the Wage and Hour Division approves, modifies, or disapproves the action via transmittal to the agency contracting officer, or notifies the contracting officer that additional time will be required to process the request.

5) The contracting officer transmits the Wage and Hour Division's decision to the contractor.

6) Each affected employee shall be furnished by the contractor with a written copy of such determination or it shall be posted as a part of the wage determination (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(iii)).

Information required by the Regulations must be submitted on SF-1444 or bond paper.

When preparing a conformance request, the ""Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations"" should be used to compare job definitions to ensure that duties requested are not performed by a classification already listed in the wage determination. Remember, it is not the job title, but the required tasks that determine whether a class is included in an established wage determination.

Conformances may not be used to artificially split, combine, or subdivide classifications listed in the wage determination (See 29 CFR 4.152(c)(1))."
