a. If a current or prospective legal matter that may affect the Federal Government emerges,
the Recipient must promptly notify the FTA Chief Counsel and FTA Regional Counsel
for the Region in which the Recipient is located. The Recipient must include a similar
notification requirement in its Third Party Agreements and must require each Third Party
Participant to include an equivalent provision in its subagreements at every tier, for any
agreement that is a “covered transaction” according to 2 C.F.R. §§ 180.220 and
1200.220.
1. The types of legal matters that require notification include, but are not limited to, a
major dispute, breach, default, litigation, or naming the Federal Government as a
party to litigation or a legal disagreement in any forum for any reason.

3. Additional Notice to U.S. DOT Inspector General. The Recipient must promptly notify
the U.S. DOT Inspector General in addition to the FTA Chief Counsel or Regional
Counsel for the Region in which the Recipient is located, if the Recipient has
knowledge of potential fraud, waste, or abuse occurring on a Project receiving
assistance from FTA. The notification provision applies if a person has or may have
submitted a false claim under the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729, et seq., or
has or may have committed a criminal or civil violation of law pertaining to such
matters as fraud, conflict of interest, bid rigging, misappropriation or embezzlement,
bribery, gratuity, or similar misconduct involving federal assistance. This
responsibility occurs whether the Project is subject to this Agreement or another
agreement between the Recipient and FTA, or an agreement involving a principal,
officer, employee, agent, or Third Party Participant of the Recipient. It also applies
to subcontractors at any tier. Knowledge, as used in this paragraph, includes, but is

proportionate share of any proceeds recovered from any third party, based on the
percentage of the federal share for the Underlying Agreement. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, the Recipient may return all liquidated damages it receives to its
Award Budget for its Underlying Agreement rather than return the federal share of those
liquidated damages to the Federal Government, provided that the Recipient receives
FTA’s prior written concurrence.

** Workers in this classification may be entitled to a higher
minimum wage under Executive Order 14026 ($15.00) or 13658
($11.25). Please see the Note at the top of the wage
determination for more information.
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
DocuSign Envelope ID: F7CF91B6-8C62-43A0-8EF4-B05C53F1B707
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
https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts.
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
DocuSign Envelope ID: F7CF91B6-8C62-43A0-8EF4-B05C53F1B707
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 co mpletion
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
DocuSign Envelope ID: F7CF91B6-8C62-43A0-8EF4-B05C53F1B707
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
National Office because National Office has 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:

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.

15. COPELAND ANTI-KICKBACK ACTS (APPENDIX II TO PART 200)
Applies to all prime construction contracts in excess of $2,000.
Copeland “Anti-Kickback” Act (40 U.S.C. 3145). Contractor must fully comply with the
Copeland “Anti-Kickback” Act (40 U.S.C. 3145), as supplemented by Department of Labor
regulations (29 CFR Part 3, “Contractors and Subcontractors on Public Building or Public
Work Financed in Whole or in Part by Loans or Grants from the United States”). Pursuant
to the Act, Contractor is prohibited from inducing, by any means, any person employed in
the construction, completion, or repair of public work, to give up any part of the
compensation to which he or she is otherwise entitled. The City shall report all suspected
or reported violations of the Copeland “Anti-Kickback” Act to the Federal awarding agency.
16. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY (APPENDIX II TO PART 200)
Applies to all contracts that meet the definition of “federally assisted construction contract”.
Equal Employment Opportunity. Contractor agrees to comply with the Equal Opportunity
Clause provided under 41 CFR 60-1.4(a) (Government Contracts) and 41 CFR 60-1.4(b)
(Federal Assisted Construction Contracts), in accordance with Executive Order 11246,
“Equal Employment Opportunity” (30 FR 12319, 12935, 3 CFR Part, 1964-1965 Comp., p.
339), as amended by Executive Order 11375, “Amending Executive Order 11246 Relating
to Equal Employment Opportunity,” and implementing regulations at 41 CFR part 60, “Office
of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, Equal Employment Opportunity, Department of
Labor.” Contractor further agrees to include this provision, including the Equal Opportunity
Clause or a reference thereto, in any subcontracts it enters into pursuant to the Contract.
During the performance of this Contract, the Contractor agrees as follows:
(1) The Contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment
because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national
origin. The Contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed,
and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color,
religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. Such action shall
include, but not be limited to the following:
Employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising;
layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for
training, including apprenticeship. The Contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places,
available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided setting
forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.
(2) The Contractor will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on
behalf of the Contractor, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for
employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender
identity, or national origin.
(3) The Contractor will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against any
employee or applicant for employment because such employee or applicant has inquired
about, discussed, or disclosed the compensation of the employee or applicant or another
employee or applicant. This provision shall not apply to instances in which an employee
who has access to the compensation information of other employees or applicants as a
part of such employee's essential job functions discloses the compensation of such other
employees or applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to such
information, unless such disclosure is in response to a formal complaint or charge, in
furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action, including an investigation
DocuSign Envelope ID: F7CF91B6-8C62-43A0-8EF4-B05C53F1B707
conducted by the employer, or is consistent with the Contractor's legal duty to furnish
information.
(4) The Contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which he
has a collective bargaining agreement or other Contract or understanding, a notice to
be provided advising the said labor union or workers' representatives of the Contractor's
commitments under this section, and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous
places available to employees and applicants for employment.
(5) The Contractor will comply with all provisions of Executive Order 11246 of September
24, 1965, and of the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor.
(6) The Contractor will furnish all information and reports required by Executive Order 11246
of September 24, 1965, and by rules, regulations, and orders of the Secretary of Labor,
or pursuant thereto, and will permit access to his books, records, and accounts by the
administering agency and the Secretary of Labor for purposes of investigation to
ascertain compliance with such rules, regulations, and orders.
(7) In the event of the Contractor's noncompliance with the nondiscrimination clauses of this
Contract or with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this Contract may be
canceled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the Contractor may be
declared ineligible for further Government Contracts or federally assisted construction
Contracts in accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of
September 24, 1965, and such other sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked
as provided in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, or by rule, regulation, or
order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise provided by law.
(8) The Contractor will include the portion of the sentence immediately preceding paragraph
(1) and the provisions of paragraphs (1) through (8) in every subContract or purchase
order unless exempted by rules, regulations, or orders of the Secretary of Labor issued
pursuant to section 204 of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, so that such
provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor or vendor. The Contractor will take
such action with respect to any subContract or purchase order as the administering
agency may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for
noncompliance:
Provided, however, that in the event a Contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened
with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction by the
administering agency, the Contractor may request the United States to enter into such
litigation to protect the interests of the United States.
The applicant further agrees that it will be bound by the above equal opportunity clause
with respect to its own employment practices when it participates in federally assisted
construction work: Provided, that if the applicant so participating is a State or local
government, the above equal opportunity clause is not applicable to any agency,
instrumentality or subdivision of such government which does not participate in work on
or under the Contract.
The applicant agrees that it will assist and cooperate actively with the administering
agency and the Secretary of Labor in obtaining the compliance of Contractors and
subcontractors with the equal opportunity clause and the rules, regulations, and relevant
orders of the Secretary of Labor, that it will furnish the administering agency and the
Secretary of Labor such information as they may require for the supervision of such
compliance, and that it will otherwise assist the administering agency in the discharge
of the agency's primary responsibility for securing compliance.
DocuSign Envelope ID: F7CF91B6-8C62-43A0-8EF4-B05C53F1B707
The applicant further agrees that it will refrain from entering into any Contract or Contract
modification subject to Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, with a Contractor
debarred from, or who has not demonstrated eligibility for, Government Contracts and
federally assisted construction Contracts pursuant to the Executive Order and will carry
out such sanctions and penalties for violation of the equal opportunity clause as may be
imposed upon Contractors and subcontractors by the administering agency or the
Secretary of Labor pursuant to Part II, Subpart D of the Executive Order. In addition, the
applicant agrees that if it fails or refuses to comply with these undertakings, the
administering agency may take any or all of the following actions: Cancel, terminate, or
suspend in whole or in part this grant (Contract, loan, insurance, guarantee); refrain from
extending any further assistance to the applicant under the program with respect to
which the failure or refund occurred until satisfactory assurance of future compliance
has been received from such applicant; and refer the case to the Department of Justice
for appropriate legal proceedings.
(9) [Reserved]
(c) Subcontracts. Each nonexempt prime Contractor or subcontractor shall include the
equal opportunity clause in each of its nonexempt subcontracts.
(d) Inclusion of the equal opportunity clause by reference. The equal opportunity clause
may be included by reference in all Government Contracts and subcontracts,
including Government bills of lading, transportation requests, Contracts for deposit
of Government funds, and Contracts for issuing and paying U.S. savings bonds and
notes, and such other Contracts and subcontracts as the Director of OFCCP may
