About this file

This document is a Project Manual and Specifications for the Texas State Preservation Board's roof replacement project for the Texas State History Museum, identified as RFP 809-25-0018. The project involves a comprehensive roof replacement that includes selective roof demolition, installation of a reinforced gypsum panel coverboard, and a single-ply roofing membrane over the existing modified bitumen roof. The scope of work encompasses 17 distinct roof areas, with requirements for moisture scanning, insulation replacement, membrane repairs, flashing and sheet metal work, sealant installation, and roof drain replacements. The specifications cover multiple divisions including general requirements, existing conditions, wood and composites, thermal and moisture protection, and plumbing.

The project specifications detail extensive technical requirements for materials, installation methods, quality assurance, and performance standards. The roofing system will utilize a fully-adhered KEE (Ketone Ethylene Ester) membrane with specific requirements for substrate preparation, membrane installation, and accessories. The contract includes provisions for manufacturer warranties, with a 20-year FiberTite Warranty specified for the roof membrane. Contractors must adhere to strict quality control measures, including manufacturer's representative site visits, mock-ups, and comprehensive testing protocols. The project also includes specific requirements for worker wages based on Davis-Bacon wage determinations, with prevailing wage rates detailed for various trade classifications.

** Workers in this classification may be entitled to a higher minimum wage under Executive Order 14026 ($17.20) or 13658 ($12.90). 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 are not currently being enforced as to any contract or subcontract to which the states of Texas, Louisiana, or Mississippi, including their agencies, are a party.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the

007301 Special General Conditions 7

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 https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts.

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) (iii)).

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), http://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts

007301 Special General Conditions 8 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.

007301 Special General Conditions 9

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.

State Adopted Rate Identifiers

Classifications listed under the ""SA"" identifier indicate that the prevailing wage rate set by a state (or local) government was adopted under 29 C.F.R �1.3(g)-(h). Example: SAME2023-007

01/03/2024. SA reflects that the rates are state adopted.

ME refers to the State of Maine. 2023 is the year during which the state completed the survey on which the listed classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination.

01/03/2024 reflects the date on which the classifications and rates under the ?SA? identifier took effect under state law in the state from which the rates were adopted.

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

007301 Special General Conditions 10 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 National Office because National Office has 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:

007301 Special General Conditions 11

1. Contractor’s log of forecasted and actual weather conditions at the site; and

2. Weather data downloaded from a governmental or recognized news agency

Internet site.

1.13 PROTECTION

Commentary – Non Mandatory Information: The intent of these weather provisions is to define when a reasonable person would expect Contractor to work on the site. Working in inclement weather can be hazardous and can jeopardize the integrity of the Work. Contractor’s proposed Contract Time should include a reasonable number of Weather Days, based on prevailing local conditions. If the actual designated Weather Days exceed the prevailing local conditions and Contractor has prosecuted the Work diligently, then the Contract Time may be extended; but it is Contractor’s burden to substantiate a claim for increased Contract Time.

013001 Administrative Requirements 6

A. Provide barricades and signs in accordance with Section 015001.

Contractor hereby warrants the Work for a Correction Period of 2 years from the date of Substantial Completion listed above.

Because the Work is considered to be comprehensive, this warranty will be construed as implying “leak-free performance” for the entire warranty Correction Period for the awarded Work. The existence of water infiltration through a system included in the Work shall be construed as sufficient evidence that the Work is Defective.

The following provisions govern this warranty:

1. This warranty covers all labor, materials, equipment, supervision, overhead, profit, taxes, and incidental charges necessary to correct Defective Work not performing as intended, including:

a. Durability.

b. Weather resistance.

c. Consequential damage and resultant damage caused by Defective Work.

2. This warranty shall be construed to require Contractor to perform Warranty Work, which is defined as investigating and replacing or re-executing Defective Work disclosed to Contractor by Owner within the warranty Correction Period.

3. If Contractor investigates Defective Work and finds that the reported conditions are in fact not related to the Work, Contractor shall only seek compensation from Owner for such investigation according to the terms of a

013011 Contractor Warranty 2 written agreement signed by Owner prior to commencing such investigation.

Failure to enter into such a written agreement in advance shall be construed as waiving any subsequent request for compensation.

4. All provisions of the Contract Documents shall pertain to the performance of Warranty Work. Neither Owner nor Contractor shall require a new written agreement for Contractor to perform Warranty Work.

5. Contractor shall commence Warranty Work within 30 days after receiving written notification from Owner of the existence of Defective Work, and diligently and continuously pursue completion of the Warranty Work.

6. When Defective Work has been corrected by replacement or rebuilding under the warranty, the warranty will be reinstated by written endorsement. The reinstated warranty shall be equal to the original warranty with an equitable adjustment for depreciation.

7. Contractor is responsible for the cost of replacing or rebuilding Defective Work regardless of whether Owner has benefited from use of the Work through a portion of its anticipated useful service life.

8. This warranty is in addition to implied warranties, and shall not limit the duties, obligations, rights, and remedies otherwise available under the law, nor shall the warranty Correction Period be interpreted as a limitation on time in which Owner can enforce such other duties, obligations, rights, or remedies.

9. Owner may make claims for Defective Work against Contractor first, and require Contractor to prosecute any sub-claims against manufacturers, suppliers, vendors, or subcontractors. This requirement to prosecute sub-claims shall survive the warranty period for the entire guarantee(s) period.

However, Contractor will not be liable for product defects beyond the provisions of the guarantees provided from those manufacturers by Contractor to Owner.
