WHEREAS, the Employer and the Unions have committed themselves to the most cost effective, high quality and timely completion of this Project by the efficient utilization of the skilled manpower pool available through the Unions, by the maximum utilization of employees represented the Unions, and by the cooperative cost containment approaches developed and endorsed by the Unions and the Employees for the performance of this Project;

WHEREAS, the Parties to this Agreement denounce and will not tolerate strikes, picketing, slow downs, unfair strikes, work stoppages, sympathy strikes, curtailments of work, restriction of production or interference of any kind with the operations of the employer, and therefore will ensure the continuous maintenance of high-level production at all times, and;

WHEREAS, the Employer and the Unions desire to mutually stabilize the working conditions and the hours for the duration of the Project, and;

WHEREAS, the Unions desire and commit themselves to protect the Project against any and all production inefficiencies, work disruptions and/or unscheduled delays for any reason, including but not limited to those arising out of craft jurisdictional claims.

ARTICLE 1. SCOPE OF WORK AND DEFINITIONS

This Agreement covers all work assigned by the U.s. GovernmentlDepartment of the Air Force to the Employer and performed by the employees covered by this Agreement of a maintenance and repair nature on Solicitation Number FA2517-II-R-5006.

The Unions understand the U.S. GovernmentlDepartment of the Air Force and the Employer may choose to perform or directly subcontract or purchase any part or parts of the work necessary on this project with due consideration given to achieving the highest maintenance standards and harmonious working conditions.

Maintenance and repair work shall be performed for property, machinery and equipment within the limits of the U.S. Government/Department of the Air Force property (Peterson Building 2).

All work performed on existing equipment and machinery, including all associated work shall be maintenance. This shall include replacement of existing individual items of machinery and equipment with new units, including all associated work. It is understood that this concept would not include replacement of an entire process line in order to increase production, but rather would apply to such individual items as compressors, pumps, furnaces, towers, etc.

Addition of spare machinery or equipment may be done under this Agreement provided it is for de bottlenecking purposes. Example: There are two existing pumps. Both pumps are required to run at all times to maintain full production. A spare may be added for the purpose of having one pump down for maintenance.

Changes to existing units for reasons of feed stock changes or fuel changes shall be maintenance.

Regarding buildings and structures that are U.S. GovernmentlDepartment of the Air Force property, these buildings would, of necessity, have to be kept in serviceable conditions; however construction of new additional buildings and structures would be of a new construction nature.

ARTICLE 2. NO CESSATION OF WORK

1. During the term of this Agreement, there shall be no strikes, picketing, work stoppages, slow-downs, sympathy strikes, concerted absence from work or other disruptive activity by the Union or by any Employee and there shall be no lockout by the Employer. The Unions agree individually that if any Union, individual or group of employees engage in picketing any work stoppage on the job or other conduct in violation of this Article, the other Unions and Employees shall consider such picketing or other conduct as an unauthorized strike and will refuse to honor any picket line established. Failure of any Union or groups of Employees to cross such unauthorized picket lines on this project shall be in violation of this Agreement. Engaging a strike over a jurisdictional dispute is a violation of this Article.

3. Plant maintenance and repair that the Employer performs involves operating units that in all cases must be kept running. This situation means that some of the work is of an emergency nature, and therefore, will require at times, the acceptance of extreme fluctuations in the labor demand. The

Unions, by the Agreement, completely understand the necessity of these extremes and agree to make every effort to fulfill the manpower requirements of the Employer.

4. The above shall not restrict the Employer from soliciting and hiring qualified personnel from any other source, provided the Unions are unable to fulfill manpower requirements within forty-eight hours, emergencies excluded. The employer will provide a list of employment requirements to the unions at the time of referral to Peterson Air Force Base.

7. It is agreed that applicants referred to the project under this Article shall be considered probationary employees until such time as they meet the U.S. Government/Department of the Air Force security requirements not inconsistent with State and Federal laws. The provisions shall not preclude such probationary employees' rights under the Arbitration Procedure Article in this agreement relative to any grievance arising under any other section of this Agreement.

PROJECT MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT

BY CONTRACT AT PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO

This Agreement is entered into this __2nd____ day of September 2015 By and Between Aleut

Facilities Support Services, LLC covering their company and all subcontractors at any tier, hereinafter called “Employer”, involved in the maintenance and repair work of the Project described herein, and signatory Craft Unions affiliated with the Colorado Building and Construction Trades Council, each in its own behalf, hereinafter called “Union” or “Unions”.

WHEREAS, the Employer and the Unions have committed themselves to the most cost effective, high quality and timely completion of this Project by the efficient utilization of the skilled manpower pool available through the Unions, by the maximum utilization of employees represented the Unions, and by the cooperative cost containment approaches developed and endorsed by the Unions and the Employees for the performance of this Project;

WHEREAS, the Parties to this Agreement denounce and will not tolerate strikes, picketing, slow-downs, unfair strikes, work stoppages, sympathy strikes, curtailments of work, restriction of production or interference of any kind with the operations of the employer, and therefore will ensure the continuous maintenance of high-level production at all times, and;

WHEREAS, the Employer and the Unions desire to mutually stabilize the working conditions and the hours for the duration of the Project, and;

WHEREAS, the Unions desire and commit themselves to protect the Project against any and all production inefficiencies, work disruptions and/or unscheduled delays for any reason, including but not limited to those arising out of craft jurisdictional claims.

ARTICLE 1. SCOPE OF WORK AND DEFINITIONS

This Agreement covers all work assigned by the U.S. Government/Department of the Air Force to the

Employer and performed by the employees covered by this Agreement of a maintenance and repair nature on Solicitation Number FA2517-11-R-5006.

The Unions understand the U.S. Government/Department of the Air Force and the Employer may choose to perform or directly subcontract or purchase any part or parts of the work necessary on this project with due consideration given to achieving the highest maintenance standards and harmonious working conditions.

Maintenance and repair work shall be performed for property, machinery and equipment within the limits of the

U.S. Government/Department of the Air Force property (Peterson Building 2).

All work performed on existing equipment and machinery, including all associated work shall be maintenance. This shall include replacement of existing individual items of machinery and equipment with new units, including all associated work. It is understood that this concept would not include replacement of an entire process line in order to increase production, but rather would apply to such individual items as compressors, pumps, furnaces, towers, etc.

Addition of spare machinery or equipment may be done under this Agreement provided it is for de-bottlenecking purposes. Example: There are two existing pumps. Both pumps are required to run at all times to maintain full production. A spare may be added for the purpose of having one pump down for maintenance.

Changes to existing units for reasons of feed stock changes or fuel changes shall be maintenance.

Regarding buildings and structures that are U.S. Government/Department of the Air Force property, these buildings would, of necessity, have to be kept in serviceable conditions; however construction of new additional buildings and structures would be of a new construction nature.

ARTICLE 2. NO CESSATION OF WORK

1. During the term of this Agreement, there shall be no strikes, picketing, work stoppages, slow-downs, sympathy strikes, concerted absence from work or other disruptive activity by the Union or by any

Employee and there shall be no lockout by the Employer. The Unions agree individually that if any

Union, individual or group of employees engage in picketing any work stoppage on the job or other conduct in violation of this Article, the other Unions and Employees shall consider such picketing or other conduct as an unauthorized strike and will refuse to honor any picket line established. Failure of any Union or groups of Employees to cross such unauthorized picket lines on this project shall be in violation of this Agreement. Engaging a strike over a jurisdictional dispute is a violation of this

Article.

ARTICLE 3. RECOGNITION

1. The Employer recognizes the Unions which are signatory hereto as sole collective bargaining agents on matters of wages, hours of work, other conditions of work for employees covered by this

Agreement.

ARTICLE 4. UNION SECURITY AND REFERRAL

1. The affiliated Unions of the Colorado Building and Construction Trades Council & signatory to this

Agreement are recognized by the Employer as a source of employment referrals.

2. It is understood and agreed that the Employer will request employees only from those craft unions who are in good standing with the Council. The CBCTC agrees to notify the Employer within twenty-four (24) hours of first knowledge of any changes in the affiliation status of craft unions within the jurisdiction of the CBCTC.

3. Plant maintenance and repair that the Employer performs involves operating units that in all cases must be kept running. This situation means that some of the work is of an emergency nature, and therefore, will require at times, the acceptance of extreme fluctuations in the labor demand. The

Unions, by the Agreement, completely understand the necessity of these extremes and agree to make every effort to fulfill the manpower requirements of the Employer.

4. The above shall not restrict the Employer from soliciting and hiring qualified personnel from any other source, provided the Unions are unable to fulfill manpower requirements within forty-eight hours, emergencies excluded. The employer will provide a list of employment requirements to the unions at the time of referral to Peterson Air Force Base.

5. All employees hired by the Employer shall, as a condition of employment, become and remain members in good standing of the appropriate Union within thirty (30) days following the date of their employment.

6. Any employee, who at the time of his employment, is a member in good standing of any signatory

Union affiliated with the CBCTC, shall be considered to be in compliance with the Union Security

Article in this contract so long as he maintains good standing in that Union. The employer shall be allowed to call the appropriate union hiring hall for craftsman with a current or transferable security clearance if available.

7. It is agreed that applicants referred to the project under this Article shall be considered probationary employees until such time as they meet the U.S. Government/Department of the Air Force security requirements not inconsistent with State and Federal laws. The provisions shall not preclude such probationary employees’ rights under the Arbitration Procedure Article in this agreement relative to any grievance arising under any other section of this Agreement. If an employee does not possess an active government security clearance, the completion of the paperwork necessary to obtain the clearance will be completed on the employee’s own time and within 10 calendar days of receipt by the employee.

8. The Employer shall for the duration of this Agreement for bargaining unit employees who submit individually authorized authorization cards, deduct from their earnings each month, the uniform Union membership dues for each month and, when applicable,…
