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 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 Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have 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:

Section 00815 - 13

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.

1.2 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

The well shall be located as shown, and be constructed in accordance with these specifications. The well shall be installed to prevent aquifer contamination by the drilling operation and equipment, intra- and inter-aquifer contamination, and vertical seepage of surface water adjacent to the well into the subsurface, especially the well intake zone.

An experienced, licensed well installation subcontractor shall be obtained by the Contractor to install the water well that will be used for drinking water and other potable water applications on this site. Based upon review of a limited amount of information on the design and operation of the existing well on site, it is anticipated that the new well will have to extend to a depth of 250 feet below the surface in order to obtain a water quality and quantity required for this facility. The suitability of this depth shall be confirmed by the drilling contractor during installation of the test hole that will be adapted for the final well, based on the results of the following requirements for the test hole, as specified herein: a capacity test, a downhole geophysical survey, and either a visual or acoustic televiewer survey.

Review of the boring log from test boring DLB-38 (which is located in generally close proximity to the proposed well location) indicates that fractured rock is encountered below a thin surficial layer of soil, to a depth of around 15 feet, which is the termination depth of the boring. The boring log from DLB-18 (located a little further east of DLB-38) extended to a depth of around 30 feet and encountered fractured rock to that level, also after a thin surficial layer of soil. In order to isolate this fractured rock that is in contact with the surface, an outer steel casing is required for the well as specified herein. This casing shall be 10-inches in diameter and installed in a boring excavation that shall be at a minimum 14-inches in diameter in order to permit grouting of this casing into place at the outset of the well construction. After this outer casing

Section 02521 Page 2 has been set and grouted completely from its bottom in the rock to the surface, drilling of the remaining portion of the well may proceed.

In order to assist the driller in determining the required well design, depth of well boring and selection of a suitable screen length, pump location, etc., the driller will be required to perform a well capacity test, a downhole geophysical survey, and a visual or acoustic televiewer survey of the test well, all prior to installation of inner casing and the well screen. The proposed final well design shall be prepared by the Contractor and drilling subcontractor and submitted to the CO for review.

Government approval of the well design is required prior to well installation. A final performance test and well disinfection will be required prior to acceptance of the permanent well.

The permanent well is required to be constructed of a PVC inner casing and well screen, with the screen slot size, length, gravel pack design and bentonite seal level determined by the drilling contractor based on the well evaluation and testing indicated above and CO approval.

1.3 SUBMITTALS

Government approval is required for submittals with a "G" designation;
