J.5 SCA & DBA Ceiling Labor Rates.docx

This is a labor rate ceiling attachment for an Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (ID/IQ) small business contract for environmental remedial actions. Attachment J.5 establishes the maximum direct hourly labor rate ceilings for two labor categories: Service Contract Labor Standards (SCA) and Construction Wage Rate Requirements. Both rate categories are set at the applicable wage determination plus a percentage to be filled in by the contracting officer. The attachment specifies that if actual labor rates experienced during contract performance are lower than the established ceiling rates, contractors must charge the lower actual rates instead of the maximum rates. Additional details regarding labor rates and requirements are referenced in Sections H3 and L of the solicitation/contract documents.

This attachment supports contract N62742-26-R-1801, a small business environmental remedial action contract under the Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Pacific area of responsibility, including NAVFAC Hawaii, NAVFAC Marianas, NAVFAC Northwest, and NAVFAC Southwest. The contract covers remedial actions at environmentally contaminated sites, including Superfund National Priority List sites, non-NPL sites, and Base Realignment and Closure sites regulated under CERCLA, RCRA, UST regulations, and other applicable statutes. Work may be performed at Navy and Marine Corps installations as well as other government agencies' sites within the NAVFAC Pacific area or elsewhere as required.
