** Workers in this classification may be entitled to a higher minimum wage under Executive
Order 14026 ($17.20) or 13658 ($12.90). Please see the Note at the top of the wage
determination for more information. Please also note that the minimum wage requirements of
Executive Order 14026 are not currently being enforced as to any contract or subcontract to
which the states of Texas, Louisiana, or Mississippi, including their agencies, are a party.
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
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) (iii)).
The body of each wage determination lists the classifications and wage rates that have been
found to be prevailing for the type(s) of construction and geographic area covered by the wage
determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order under rate identifiers indicating
whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate), a survey rate, a
weighted union average rate, a state adopted rate, or a supplemental classification rate.
Union Rate Identifiers
A four-letter identifier beginning with characters other than ""SU"", ""UAVG"", ?SA?, or ?SC?
denotes that a union rate was prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:
PLUM0198-005 07/01/2024. PLUM is an identifier of the union whose collectively bargained
rate 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. The date, 07/01/2024 in the example, is the effective date
of the most current negotiated rate.
Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all changes over time that are reported to
WHD in the rates
in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing the classification.
Union Average Rate Identifiers
The UAVG identifier indicates that no single rate prevailed for those classifications, but that
100% of the data reported for the classifications reflected union rates. EXAMPLE:
UAVG-OH-0010 01/01/2024. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH
indicates the State of Ohio. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used
in producing the wage determination. The date, 01/01/2024 in the example, indicates the date
the wage determination was updated to reflect the most current union average rate.
A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January, to reflect a weighted average of
the current rates in the collective bargaining agreements on which the rate is based.
Survey Rate Identifiers
The ""SU"" identifier indicates that either a single non-union rate prevailed (as defined in 29
CFR 1.2) for this classification in the survey or that the rate was derived by computing a
weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As a
weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and
non-union rates. Example: SUFL2022-007 6/27/2024. SU indicates the rate is a single non-
union prevailing rate or a weighted average of survey data for that classification. FL indicates
the State of Florida. 2022 is the year of the 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. The date, 6/27/2024 in the example, indicates the survey completion date for the
classifications and rates under that identifier.
?SU? wage rates typically remain in effect until a new survey is conducted. However, the Wage
and Hour Division (WHD) has the discretion to update such rates under 29 CFR 1.6(c)(1).
State Adopted Rate Identifiers
The ""SA"" identifier indicates that the classifications and prevailing wage rates set by a state (or
local) government were adopted under 29 C.F.R 1.3(g)-(h). Example: SAME2023-007
01/03/2024. SA reflects that the rates are state adopted. ME refers to the State of Maine. 2023
is the year during which the state completed the survey on which the listed classifications and
rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing
the wage determination.
The date, 01/03/2024 in the example, reflects the date on which the classifications and rates
under the ?SA? identifier took effect under state law in the state from which the rates were
adopted.
WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS
1) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:
a) a survey underlying a wage determination
b) an existing published wage determination
c) an initial WHD letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter
d) an initial conformance (additional classification and rate) determination
On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should

SECTION 00955
WORK CHANGE DIRECTIVE
A. GENERAL INFORMATION
This document was developed for use in situations involving changes in the Work which, if
not processed expeditiously, might delay the Project. These changes are often initiated in the
field and may affect the Contract Price or the Contract Times. This is not a Change Order, but
only a directive to proceed with the Work that may be included in a subsequent Change Order.
For supplemental instructions and minor changes not involving a change in the Contract Price
or the Contract Times a Field Order should be used.
B. COMPLETING THE WORK CHANGE DIRECTIVE FORM
Engineer initiates the form, including a description of the items involved and attachments.
Based on conversations between the Engineer/Owner and Contractor, Engineer completes
the following:
METHOD OF DETERMINING CHANGE, IF ANY, IN CONTRACT PRICE: Mark the
method to be used in determining the final cost of Work involved and the estimated net
effect on the Contract Price. If the change involves an increase in the Contract Price and
the estimated amount is approached before the additional or changed Work is completed,
another Work Change Directive must be issued to change the estimated price or
Contractor may stop the changed Work when the estimated time is reached. If the Work
Change Directive is not likely to change the Contract Price, the space for estimated
increase (decrease) should be marked “Not Applicable”.
Once Engineer has completed and signed the form, all copies should be sent to Owner for
authorization because Engineer alone does not have authority to authorize changes in Price
or Times. Once authorized by Owner, a copy should be sent by Engineer to Contractor. Price
and Times may only be changed by Change Order signed by Owner and Contractor with
Engineer’s recommendation.
Article 10 of the General Conditions requires that a Change Order be initiated and processed
to cover any undisputed sum or amount of time for Work actually performed pursuant to this
Work Change Directive.
Once the Work covered by this directive is completed or final cost and times are determined,
Contractor should submit documentation for inclusion in a Change Order.
IF THIS IS A DIRECTIVE TO PROCEED WITH A CHANGE THAT MAY AFFECT THE
CONTRACT PRICE OR CONTRACT TIMES. A CHANGE ORDER, IF ANY, SHOULD BE
CONSIDERED PROMPTLY.
