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 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

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 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.

NOTE 1: NO WORK AREAS. The Government has designated portions of the work limits as No Work Areas as indicated on the drawings. The Contracting Officer or designated representative may release the No Work Areas to work by written notice to the Contractor within 120 days of issuance of Notice to Proceed.

NOTE 2: The Bid Schedule includes all items within the No Work Areas and shall be completed in its entirety. An incomplete Bid Schedule shall render a offer non-responsive and not eligible for award.
