Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.

Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

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.

ATTACHMENT 1

QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN

1.1 Overview: This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) sets forth the procedures and guidance that the Contract Officer's Representative (COR) will use in evaluating the technical performance of the construction contractor in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract. The QASP objective is to explain Government procedures to be used to verify that appropriate performance and quality assurance methods are used in the management of this contract. The purpose of the QASP is to assure that performance of specific activities and completion of tasks are accomplished in accordance with all requirements set forth in the contract.

This QASP describes the mechanism for documenting noteworthy accomplishments or discrepancies for work performed by the contractor. Information generated from the COR's surveillance activities will directly feed into performance discussions with the contractor.

The intent is to ensure that the contractor performs in accordance with performance metrics set forth in the contract documents, USACE and DLA receive the quality of services called for in the contract, and the only acceptable level of services received is paid. The QASP details how and when the COR will monitor, evaluate, and document the Contractor’s performance on the contract. The QAS is intended to accomplish the following:

1. Ensure both existing pumps are removed back to the distribution panel.

2. Inundated pump section shall be coated in coal tar epoxy. Rest of the installation shall be painted with Silver-Brite or other approved product to prevent corrosion only approved by the COR.

3. Warranty requirements.

4. Proof of disposal must be submitted to the COR.

2.0 Roles and Responsibilities of USACE Officials: The COR is responsible for technical administration of the project and assures proper surveillance of the contractor's performance.

The COR is responsible for monitoring, assessing, recording, and reporting on the technical performance of the contractor. The COR may be supported by the USACE Project Manager with the day-to-day oversight of technical performance.

The Contracting Officer (KO) has overall responsibility for overseeing the contractor's performance. The KO is responsible for monitoring of the contractor's performance in the areas of Contract compliance, and contract administration; reviewing the COR's assessment of the contractor's performance; and resolving all differences between the COR's assessment and the contractor's assessment of performance. It is the KO that assures the contractor receives impartial, fair, and equitable treatment under the contract. The KO is ultimately responsible for the final determination of the adequacy of the contractor's performance. The KO is the only person authorized to obligate the Government on this

Contract.

The COR and KO may call upon the technical expertise of other USACE officials and subject matter experts (SME) as required. These officials/SMEs may be called upon to review technical documents and products generated by the contractor. Contracting Agency representatives will also conduct reviews of Contract documentation such as invoices, monthly technical progress reports, and work plans.

3.1 Key Tasks/Deliverables to be assessed: At a minimum, the following task deliverables will be evaluated in accordance with this QASP:

1. The new deep well turbine pumps shall be installed for use with the existing discharge line and new electrical wiring shall be installed from the distribution panel to the pumps by a certified electrician in accordance with the National Electric Code.

Additionally, USACE will evaluate performance on the key quality control activities and events specified by the contractor through their Quality Assurance (QA) plan.

4.0 Performance Standards for Key Tasks/Deliverables: Since price is firm-fixed, the contractor's performance will be evaluated by assessing the key tasks/deliverables described above according to two standards: quality and timeliness. For each of these performance standards, the COR will assign one of three ratings to the contractor's performance: superior, acceptable, or unacceptable (as shown in Table 1). Note: These performance standards may be modified to meet the needs of USACE and its customer, Air Force Civil Engineering Center.

Table 1- Performance Standards Performance Standard

Superior Performance Acceptable Performance Unacceptable Performance

Quality Contractor exceeds the requirements in the Contract for the task/deliverable.

Tasks/deliverables are approved after one round of comments from USACE and no revisions are required.

Contractor meets the requirements in the Contract for the task/ Deliverable.

Task/tasks are approved with two rounds of comments received from USACE and no further revisions are required.

Contractor does not meet the requirements in the Contract for the task deliverable.

Tasks/Deliverables require more than two rounds of comments from USACE before being approved.

Timeliness Contractor provides acceptable task/ Deliverable ahead of the schedule.

Contractor provides task/deliverable according to the schedule.

Contractor provides task/deliverable behind the schedule.

If a task deliverable identified as a key QA activity as described in the Contract is rated as being of unacceptable quality at the time the deadline for the task deliverable expires, the task deliverable will automatically receive an unacceptable rating for timeliness. At no point will a task deliverable receive an acceptable or superior rating for timeliness if it is rated as being of unacceptable quality. Overall acceptable performance on a task deliverable requires ratings of acceptable or superior for both the quality and timeliness standards.

5.0 Surveillance Methodology: The surveillance methods listed below will be used in the execution of this QASP.

100% Inspection: At the completion of all key tasks and deliverables, performance will be evaluated through 100% inspection (e.g., document review). The COR will document performance for each completed task deliverable prior to final payment for the task, as described in Section 6.0.

Periodic Progress Inspection: At the COR's discretion, periodic inspections may be conducted to evaluate progress toward and/or completion of key tasks and deliverables. The COR may complete a periodic progress inspection if s/he believes that deficiencies exist that must be addressed prior to task deliverable completion. While corrective action or re-performance will be required if necessary, the contractor will not be financially penalized for unacceptable performance recorded in periodic progress reports, provided that final performance evaluation of the task deliverable is deemed acceptable.

Customer Feedback (if applicable): Additional feedback will be obtained through random customer feedback, if necessary. To be considered valid, customer complaints must set forth clearly and in writing the detailed nature of the feedback, must be signed, and must be forwarded to the KO. The KO will maintain a summary log of all formally received customer feedback as well as a copy of each feedback in a documentation file.

6.0 Surveillance Documentation: The COR will use a performance evaluation form to record evaluation of the contractor's performance for each task and deliverable in accordance with the methodology described in Sections 4.0 and 5.0. The COR must substantiate, through narratives in the form, all superior and unacceptable ratings. Performance at the acceptable level is expected from the Contractor. At a minimum, the evaluation form will indicate actual and scheduled delivery times and number of reviews required to achieve the final product.

The COR will forward copies of all completed performance evaluation forms to the KO and contractor within one week of performing the inspection. When a task deliverable receives an overall unacceptable rating, the contractor will explain, within 15 days, in writing to COR why performance was unacceptable, how performance will be returned to acceptable levels, and how recurrence of the problem will be prevented in the future.

The KO will review each performance evaluation form prepared by the COR. When appropriate, the KO may investigate further to determine if all the facts and circumstances surrounding the event were considered in the COR opinions outlined on the form. The KO will immediately discuss any unacceptable rating with the contractor to assure that corrective action is promptly initiated.

Upon final acceptance of work, the COR will prepare a written ACASS Report for the KO summarizing the overall results of his/her surveillance of the contractor’s performance during the contract period of performance. In the event of unacceptable performance at any time during the contract period of performance, the COR will prepare an interim evaluation. The interim (if applicable) and final ACASS reports will become part of the formal QA documentation. The COR will maintain a complete QA file. This file will contain copies of all performance evaluation forms and any other related documentation. The COR will forward these records to the KO at termination or completion of the Contract.

7.1 Payment and Corrective Action: Full payment for a task deliverable will be provided upon verification of overall acceptable performance, as rated on quality and timeliness. This verification will be recorded in a performance evaluation form submitted to the KO specifying overall contractor’s performance as either acceptable or superior for the task deliverable.

If a task deliverable receives an unacceptable rating for the quality performance standard, re-performance is required until the task deliverable receives an acceptable rating. This re-performance is required regardless of cost or schedule constraints that may result from the unacceptable performance, unless the KO has opted to terminate the Contract. If an acceptable rating is not achieved, the Government may reduce the contract price to reflect the reduced value of the services in accordance with FAR 52.246~4(e). The final QASP will be developed with the COR and the contractor.
