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) (ii)).

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), 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.

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.

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:

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.

PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 ACCOMPLISHMENT OF WORK

This specification covers requirements for contractor-furnished materials, equipment and labor necessary to install an underground electrical primary cable at Hawthorn Bluff Campground, Oologah Lake located in Rogers County, Oklahoma. All materials and installation shall be in accordance with these specifications and drawings in addition to the National Electric Code (NEC).

All work shall be accomplished in a safe, workmanlike manner and in accordance with the Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirements Manual, EM 385-1-1, most current edition, all applicable Federal, State, and local safety codes and practices. Contractor shall coordinate with the local utility company in order to perform the disconnection of existing primary from the pole to the pad-mount transformer. After installation of the new primary, the contractor shall coordinate with the local utility company in order to connect the new primary to pad-mount transformer and to the primary electrical service. Any electrical repairs and/or connections shall be performed by a State licensed electrician. Any plumbing utility repairs and/or connections shall be performed by a State licensed plumber.

3.2 LOCATING UTILITIES

The contractor shall locate all utilities within the trenching area prior to any ground disturbance. It will be the contractor’s responsibility and expense to make repairs to any utility line that is damaged during the performance of this contract.

3.3 ELECTRICAL CABLE TRANSPORT

The primary cable that is identified in section 2.3 is located in a storage building about ½ mile away from the work site. It will be the contractor’s responsibility to transport this cable to the work site.

3.4 TRENCHING OF CABLE

Trench for new primary cable is approximately 2000 feet in length. It will be the contractor’s responsibility to verify all underground electrical utilities are disconnected and verified as “dead” prior to ANY ground disturbance. Lockout/Tagout procedures shall be in place during all electrical work. During trenching of new electrical primary, the contractor may strike the existing primary cable with their trenching equipment. When this occurs, the contractor shall removal all damaged cabling from the excavation areas and dispose of offsite in accordance with all Federal, State and local laws.

Trench shall be a minimum of 51 inches in depth and a minimum of 4 inches in width. See attached drawing titled “Primary Trench Diagram” for depths of bedding sand, placement of random fill and placement of metallic electrical tape.

Primary electrical cable shall NOT be spliced at any point. A single continuous run shall be made from the utility pole to the pad-mount transformer.

Primary electrical cable shall be ran through PVC electrical non-metallic conduit when underground.

All PVC joints shall be glued and seated firmly to not allow any moisture intrusion.

Care shall be taken when determining the most viable path for the new trench. No mature trees shall be removed to accommodate new primary trench.

At the point where the primary electrical cable makes a 90 degree turn underground and is ran up the utility pole, the cable shall be placed in metallic ridged conduit and terminated with a weather-head connection. The length of this rigid conduit shall be extended the entire length of the utility pole. The primary cable shall have a weather loop installed when connecting back to utility company power.

During trenching, it will be necessary for the contractor to cross asphalt roadways. The contractor will have the discretion to either perform under-road boring that shall not affect the roadway structure or integrity in any way or the contractor may trench across the asphalt roadway and backfill with ODOT Type B asphalt pavement. If trenching the roadway is the preferred method of crossing, the contractor shall place at minimum a 4” thick asphalt patch. A 15” gravel base shall be prepared and compacted to not less than a 95% of maximum density prior to the placement of asphalt. After density compaction is achieved, asphaltic bonding agent shall be applied and new asphalt patch shall be compacted as to prevent any standing water depressions “bird-baths” and match the existing roadway for height.

If crossing a dirt or gravel roadway, the contractor shall compact backfilled material to not less than a 95% of maximum density and match the existing roadway surface elevation. No depression shall be allowed to create a “bird-bath”.

During trenching, if the contractor strikes a water line or secondary electrical line, all repairs shall be made by licensed plumbers or licensed electricians. Repairs shall be verified by USACE personnel PRIOR to backfilling the trench.

3.5 SITE CONDITIONS

It is highly recommended that prospective bidder’s perform a site visit to understand the terrain and soil composition in order to submit a bid proposal. This area is extremely rocky with very little topsoil coverage.

3.6 TESTING

Testing of all electrical systems/circuits and plumbing fixtures shall be performed after installation and verified prior to final acceptance of work.

3.7 WARRANTY

The contractor warrants the materials and installation of materials meets or exceeds the National Electric Code requirements for install.
