involved in the project and complete it by filling in the subcontractor’s name and address and
signing it.
The original Certificate should always be retained by the prime contractor. Copies of all
Certificates that the prime contractor issued to subcontractors should be kept at the prime
contractor’s place of business for a minimum of three years and be available for inspection in
the event of an audit.
Once an 89# has been assigned to you, please use the next five numbers following it for any
applications submitted for future projects. This should be your permanent number. For

================================================================
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 union or non-union.
Union Identifiers
An identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" denotes that the
union classification and rate have found to be prevailing for that classification. Example:
PLUM0198-005 07/01/2011. The first four letters , PLUM, indicate the international union and
the four-digit number, 0198, that follows 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, 07/01/2011, following
these characters is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate/collective bargaining
agreement which would be July 1, 2011 in the above example.
Union prevailing wage rates will be updated to reflect any changes in the collective bargaining
agreements governing the rates.
0000/9999: weighted union wage rates will be published annually each January.
Non-Union Identifiers
Classifications listed under an "SU" identifier were derived from survey data by computing
average rates and are not union rates; however, the data used in computing these rates may
include both union and non-union data. Example: SULA2004-007 5/13/2010. SU indicates the
rates are not union majority rates, LA indicates the State of Louisiana; 2004 is the year of the
survey; and 007 is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. A 1993 or
later date, 5/13/2010, indicates the classifications and rates under that identifier were issued as
a General Wage Determination on that date.
Survey wage rates will remain in effect and will not change until a new survey is conducted.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

4. FEDERAL CHANGES
Federal Changes - Contractor shall at all times comply with all applicable FTA
regulations, policies, procedures and directives, including without limitation those listed
directly or by reference in the Master Agreement between Purchaser and FTA, as they
may be amended or promulgated from time to time during the term of this contract.
Contractor's failure to so comply shall constitute a material breach of this contract.
5. TERMINATION
A. Termination for Convenience (General Provision) The (Recipient) may terminate
this contract, in whole or in part, at any time by written notice to the Contractor when it
is in the Government's best interest. The Contractor shall be paid its costs, including
contract close-out costs, and profit on work performed up to the time of termination.
The Contractor shall promptly submit its termination claim to (Recipient) to be paid the
Contractor. If the Contractor has any property in its possession belonging to the
(Recipient), the Contractor will account for the same, and dispose of it in the manner
the (Recipient) directs.
B. Termination for Default [Breach or Cause] (General Provision) If the Contractor
does not deliver supplies in accordance with the contract delivery schedule, or, if the
contract is for services, the Contractor fails to perform in the manner called for in the
contract, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any other provisions of the contract,
the (Recipient) may terminate this contract for default. Termination shall be effected
by serving a notice of termination on the contractor setting forth the manner in which
the Contractor is in default. The contractor will only be paid the contract price for
supplies delivered and accepted, or services performed in accordance with the manner
of performance set forth in the contract.
If it is later determined by the (Recipient) that the Contractor had an excusable reason
for not performing, such as a strike, fire, or flood, events which are not the fault of or
are beyond the control of the Contractor, the (Recipient), after setting up a new
delivery of performance schedule, may allow the Contractor to continue work, or treat
the termination as a termination for convenience.
C. Opportunity to Cure (General Provision) The (Recipient) in its sole discretion may,
in the case of a termination for breach or default, allow the Contractor [an appropriately
short period of time] in which to cure the defect. In such case, the notice of termination
will state the time period in which cure is permitted and other appropriate conditions
If Contractor fails to remedy to (Recipient)'s satisfaction the breach or default of any of
the terms, covenants, or conditions of this Contract within [ten (10) days] after receipt
by Contractor of written notice from (Recipient) setting forth the nature of said breach
or default, (Recipient) shall have the right to terminate the Contract without any further
obligation to Contractor. Any such termination for default shall not in any way operate
to preclude (Recipient) from also pursuing all available remedies against Contractor
and its sureties for said breach or default.
D. Termination for Default (Construction) If the Contractor refuses or fails to prosecute
the work or any separable part, with the diligence that will insure its completion within
the time specified in this contract or any extension or fails to complete the work within
this time, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any other provisions of this contract,
the (Recipient) may terminate this contract for default. The (Recipient) shall terminate
by delivering to the Contractor a Notice of Termination specifying the nature of the
default. In this event, the Recipient may take over the work and compete it by contract
or otherwise, and may take possession of and use any materials, appliances, and
plant on the work site necessary for completing the work. The Contractor and its
sureties shall be liable for any damage to the Recipient resulting from the Contractor's
refusal or failure to complete the work within specified time, whether or not the
Contractor's right to proceed with the work is terminated. This liability includes any
increased costs incurred by the Recipient in completing the work.
The Contractor's right to proceed shall not be terminated nor the Contractor charged
with damages under this clause if-
1. the delay in completing the work arises from unforeseeable causes beyond the
control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor. Examples of such
causes include: acts of God, acts of the Recipient, acts of another Contractor in the
performance of a contract with the Recipient, epidemics, quarantine restrictions,
strikes, freight embargoes; and
2. the contractor, within [10] days from the beginning of any delay, notifies the
(Recipient) in writing of the causes of delay. If in the judgment of the (Recipient),
the delay is excusable, the time for completing the work shall be extended. The
judgment of the (Recipient) shall be final and conclusive on the parties, but subject
to appeal under the Disputes clauses.
If, after termination of the Contractor's right to proceed, it is determined that the
Contractor was not in default, or that the delay was excusable, the rights and
obligations of the parties will be the same as if the termination had been issued for the
convenience of the Recipient.

7. DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (DBE)
a. This contract is subject to the requirements of Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations,
Part 26, Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Department of

in the performance of this contract. The contractor shall carry out applicable
requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 in the award and administration of this DOT-assisted
contract. Failure by the contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach

remedy as City of Fort Collins deems appropriate. Each subcontract the contractor
signs with a subcontractor must include the assurance in this paragraph (see 49 CFR
26.13(b)).
c. Bidders/offerors are required to document sufficient DBE participation to meet these

Incorporation of Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Terms - The preceding provisions
include, in part, certain Standard Terms and Conditions required by DOT, whether or not
expressly set forth in the preceding contract provisions. All contractual provisions required
by DOT, as set forth in FTA Circular 4220.1E, are hereby incorporated by reference.
Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, all FTA mandated terms shall be deemed
to control in the event of a conflict with other provisions contained in this Agreement. The
Contractor shall not perform any act, fail to perform any act, or refuse to comply with any
(name of grantee) requests which would cause (name of grantee) to be in violation of the
FTA terms and conditions.
9. GOVERNMENT-WIDE DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION (NONPROCUREMENT)
Background and Applicability
In conjunction with the Office of Management and Budget and other affected Federal
agencies, DOT published an update to 49 CFR Part 29 on November 26, 2003. This
government-wide regulation implements Executive Order 12549, Debarment and
Suspension, Executive Order 12689, Debarment and Suspension, and 31 U.S.C. 6101
note (Section 2455, Public Law 103-355, 108 Stat. 3327).
The provisions of Part 29 apply to all grantee contracts and subcontracts at any level
expected to equal or exceed $25,000 as well as any contract or subcontract (at any level)
for Federally required auditing services. 49 CFR 29.220(b). This represents a change
from prior practice in that the dollar threshold for application of these rules has been
lowered from $100,000 to $25,000. These are contracts and subcontracts referred to in
the regulation as “covered transactions.”
Grantees, contractors, and subcontractors (at any level) that enter into covered
transactions are required to verify that the entity (as well as its principals and affiliates)
they propose to contract or subcontract with is not excluded or disqualified. They do this
by (a) Checking the Excluded Parties List System, (b) Collecting a certification from that
person, or (c) Adding a clause or condition to the contract or subcontract. This represents
a change from prior practice in that certification is still acceptable but is no longer required.
49 CFR 29.300.
Grantees, contractors, and subcontractors who enter into covered transactions also must
require the entities they contract with to comply with 49 CFR 29, subpart C and include
this requirement in their own subsequent covered transactions (i.e., the requirement flows
down to subcontracts at all levels).
Clause Language
The following clause language is suggested, not mandatory. It incorporates the optional
method of verifying that contractors are not excluded or disqualified by certification.
Suspension and Debarment
This contract is a covered transaction for purposes of 49 CFR Part 29. As such,
the contractor is required to verify that none of the contractor, its principals, as
defined at 49 CFR 29.995, or affiliates, as defined at 49 CFR 29.905, are excluded
or disqualified as defined at 49 CFR 29.940 and 29.945.
The contractor is required to comply with 49 CFR 29, Subpart C and must include
the requirement to comply with 49 CFR 29, Subpart C in any lower tier covered
transaction it enters into.
By signing and submitting its bid or proposal, the bidder or proposer certifies as follows:
The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact relied upon by {insert
agency name}. If it is later determined that the bidder or proposer knowingly rendered an
erroneous certification, in addition to remedies available to {insert agency name}, the
Federal Government may pursue available remedies, including but not limited to
suspension and/or debarment. The bidder or proposer agrees to comply with the
requirements of 49 CFR 29, Subpart C while this offer is valid and throughout the period of
any contract that may arise from this offer. The bidder or proposer further agrees to
include a provision requiring such compliance in its lower tier covered transactions.
10. BUY AMERICA
The contractor agrees to comply with 49 U.S.C. 5323(j) and 49 C.F.R. Part 661, which
provide that Federal funds may not be obligated unless steel, iron, and manufactured
products used in FTA-funded projects are produced in the United States, unless a waiver
has been granted by FTA or the product is subject to a general waiver. General waivers
are listed in 49 C.F.R. 661.7, and include final assembly in the United States for 15
passenger vans and 15 passenger wagons produced by Chrysler Corporation, and
microcomputer equipment and software. Separate requirements for rolling stock are set
out at 49 U.S.C. 5323(j)(2)(C) and 49 C.F.R. 661.11. Rolling stock must be assembled in
the United States and have a 60 percent domestic content.
A bidder or offeror must submit to the FTA recipient the appropriate Buy America
certification (below) with all bids or offers on FTA-funded contracts, except those subject to
a general waiver. Bids or offers that are not accompanied by a completed Buy America
certification must be rejected as nonresponsive. This requirement does not apply to lower
tier subcontractors.

17. DAVIS-BACON AND COPELAND ANTI-KICKBACK ACTS
Background and Application
The Davis-Bacon and Copeland Acts are codified at 40 USC 3141, et seq. and 18 USC
874. The Acts apply to grantee construction contracts and subcontracts that “at least
partly are financed by a loan or grant from the Federal Government.” 40 USC 3145(a), 29
CFR 5.2(h), 49 CFR 18.36(i)(5). The Acts apply to any construction contract over $2,000.
40 USC 3142(a), 29 CFR 5.5(a). ‘Construction,’ for purposes of the Acts, includes “actual
construction, alteration and/or repair, including painting and decorating.” 29 CFR 5.5(a).
The requirements of both Acts are incorporated into a single clause (see 29 CFR 3.11)
enumerated at 29 CFR 5.5(a) and reproduced below.
The clause language is drawn directly from 29 CFR 5.5(a) and any deviation from the
model clause below should be coordinated with counsel to ensure the Acts’ requirements
are satisfied.
Clause Language
Davis-Bacon and Copeland Anti-Kickback Acts
(1) Minimum wages –
(i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work (or
under the United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in
the construction or development of the project), will be paid unconditionally and not
less often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any
account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations issued by
the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR part 3)), the full amount of
wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of
payment computed at rates not less than those contained in the wage
determination of the Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part
hereof, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist
between the contractor and such laborers and mechanics.
Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits
under section 1(b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics
are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the
provisions of paragraph (1)(iv) of this section; also, regular contributions made or
costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly)
under plans, funds, or programs which cover the particular weekly period, are
deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period. Such
laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits
on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed, without
regard to skill, except as provided in 29 CFR Part 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or
mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated
at the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein:
Provided, That the employer's payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in
each classification in which work is performed. The wage determination (including
any additional classifications and wage rates conformed under paragraph (1)(ii) of
this section) and the Davis-Bacon poster (WH-1321) shall be posted at all times by
the contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and
accessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers.
(ii) (A) The contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics,
including helpers, which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to
be employed under the contract shall be classified in conformance with the
wage determination. The contracting officer shall approve an additional
classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when the
following criteria have been met:
(1) Except with respect to helpers as defined as 29 CFR 5.2(n)(4), the work to
be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a
classification in the wage determination; and
(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and
(3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a
reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage
determination; and
(4) With respect to helpers as defined in 29 CFR 5.2(n)(4), such a classification
prevails in the area in which the work is performed.
(B) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the
classification (if known), or their representatives, and the contracting officer
agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for
fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by
the contracting officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division,
Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington,
DC 20210. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve,
modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of
receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer
within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary.
(C) In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the
classification or their representatives, and the contracting officer do not agree
on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount designated
for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the contracting officer shall refer the
questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation
of the contracting officer, to the Administrator for determination. The
Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination within
30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the
contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary.
(D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined
pursuant to paragraphs (a)(1)(ii) (B) or (C) of this section, shall be paid to all
workers performing work in the classification under this contract from the first
day on which work is performed in the classification.
(iii) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers
or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate,
the contractor shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or
shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof.
(iv) If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the
contractor may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the
amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits
under a plan or program, Provided, That the Secretary of Labor has found, upon
the written request of the contractor, that the applicable standards of the Davis-
Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the contractor to
set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan
or program.
(v) (A) The contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics
which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed
under the contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage
determination. The contracting officer shall approve an additional classification
and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when the following criteria
have been met:
(1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed
by a classification in the wage determination; and
(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and
(3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a
reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage
determination.
(B) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the
classification (if known), or their representatives, and the contracting officer
agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for
fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by
the contracting officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division,
Employment Standards Administration, Washington, DC 20210. The
Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve, modify, or
disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and
so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the
30-day period that additional time is necessary.
(C) In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the
classification or their representatives, and the contracting officer do not agree
on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount designated
for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the contracting officer shall refer the
questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation
of the contracting officer, to the Administrator for determination. The
Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination with
30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the
contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary.
(D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined
pursuant to paragraphs (a)(1)(v) (B) or (C) of this section, shall be paid to all
workers performing work in the classification under this contract from the first
day on which work is performed in the classification.
(2) Withholding –
The City of Fort Collins shall upon its own action or upon written request of an
authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld
from the contractor under this contract or any other Federal contract with the same
prime contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to Davis-Bacon
prevailing wage requirements, which is held by the same prime contractor, so much of
the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers
and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed by the
contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by the contract. In
the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee,
or helper, employed or working on the site of the work (or under the United States
Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or
development of the project), all or part of the wages required by the contract, the City
of Fort Collins may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or
owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further
payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased.
(3) Payrolls and basic records –
(i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the contractor
during the course of the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter
for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work (or under the United
States Housing Act of 1937, or under the Housing Act of 1949, in the construction
or development of the project). Such records shall contain the name, address, and
social security number of each such worker, his or her correct classification, hourly
rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona
fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in section
1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours worked,
deductions made and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has
found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic
include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under
a plan or program described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, the
contractor shall maintain records which show that the commitment to provide such
benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible, and that
the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or
mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual
cost incurred in providing such benefits. Contractors employing apprentices or
trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evidence of the
registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of trainee programs, the
registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates
prescribed in the applicable programs.
(ii) (A) The contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any contract work is
performed a copy of all payrolls to the City of Fort Collins for transmission to
the Federal Transit Administration. The payrolls submitted shall set out
accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained
under section 5.5(a)(3)(i) of Regulations, 29 CFR part 5. This information may
be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH-347 is available for this
purpose and may be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents
(Federal Stock Number 029-005-00014-1), U.S. Government Printing Office,
Washington, DC 20402. The prime contractor is responsible for the
submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors.
(B) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a "Statement of Compliance,"
signed by the contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or
supervises the payment of the persons employed under the contract and shall
certify the following:
(1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be
maintained under section 5.5(a)(3)(i) of Regulations, 29 CFR part 5 and
that such information is correct and complete;
(2) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper, apprentice, and
trainee) employed on the contract during the payroll period has been paid
the full weekly wages earned, without rebate, either directly or indirectly,
and that no deductions have been made either directly or indirectly from the
full wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set forth in
Regulations, 29 CFR part 3;
(3) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable
wage rates and fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the classification of
work performed, as specified in the applicable wage determination
incorporated into the contract.
(C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the
reverse side of Optional Form WH-347 shall satisfy the requirement for
submission of the "Statement of Compliance" required by paragraph
(a)(3)(ii)(B) of this section.
(D) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor or
subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under section 1001 of title 18 and
section 231 of title 31 of the United States Code.
(iii) The contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph
(a)(3)(i) of this section available for inspection, copying, or transcription by
authorized representatives of the Federal Transit Administration or the Department
of Labor, and shall permit such representatives to interview employees during
working hours on the job. If the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the
required records or to make them available, the Federal agency may, after written
notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be
necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee
of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to
make such records available may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29
CFR 5.12.
(4) Apprentices and trainees –
(i) Apprentices - Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined
rate for the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and
individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the
U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Bureau of
Apprenticeship and Training, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by
the Bureau, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of probationary
employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not
individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Bureau of
Apprenticeship and Training or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate)
to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of
apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be
greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under
the registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate,
who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less
than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of
work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job
site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not
less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually
performed. Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality
other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates
(expressed in percentages of the journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the
contractor's or subcontractor's registered program shall be observed. Every
apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered
program for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the
journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Apprentices
shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship
program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits,
apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage
determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator of the Wage and
Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor determines that a different practice
prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in
accordance with that determination. In the event the Bureau of Apprenticeship and
Training, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau, withdraws
approval of an apprenticeship program, the contractor will no longer be permitted
to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work
performed until an acceptable program is approved.
(ii) Trainees - Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to
work at less than the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are
employed pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has received
prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. Department of Labor,
Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on
the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the
Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less
than the rate specified in the approved program for the trainee's level of progress,
expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in the
applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in
accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program does
not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits
listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour
Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the
corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination which provides
for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll
at a trainee rate who is not registered and participating in a training plan approved
by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the
applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work
actually performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in
excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less
than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually
performed. In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws
approval of a training program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize
trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until
an acceptable program is approved.
(iii) Equal employment opportunity - The utilization of apprentices, trainees and
journeymen under this part shall be in conformity with the equal employment
opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246, as amended, and 29 CFR part
30.
(5) Compliance with Copeland Act requirements - The contractor shall comply with the
requirements of 29 CFR part 3, which are incorporated by reference in this contract.
(6) Subcontracts - The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the
clauses contained in 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1) through (10) and such other clauses as the
Federal Transit Administration may by appropriate instructions require, and also a
clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier
subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for the compliance by any
subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5.
(7) Contract termination: debarment - A breach of the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5
may be grounds for termination of the contract, and for debarment as a contractor and
a subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 5.12.
(8) Compliance with Davis-Bacon and Related Act requirements - All rulings and
interpretations of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts contained in 29 CFR parts 1, 3,
and 5 are herein incorporated by reference in this contract.
(9) Disputes concerning labor standards - Disputes arising out of the labor standards
provisions of this contract shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of this
contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the
Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR parts 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the
meaning of this clause include disputes between the contractor (or any of its
subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the U.S. Department of Labor, or the
employees or their representatives.
(10) Certification of eligibility –
(i) By entering into this contract, the contractor certifies that neither it (nor he or she)
nor any person or firm who has an interest in the contractor's firm is a person or
firm ineligible to be awarded Government contracts by virtue of section 3(a) of the
Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1).
(ii) No part of this contract shall be subcontracted to any person or firm ineligible for
award of a Government contract by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or
29 CFR 5.12(a)(1).
(iii) The penalty for making false statements is prescribed in the U.S. Criminal Code,
18 U.S.C. 1001.
18. CONTRACT WORK HOURS AND SAFETY STANDARDS ACT
Background and Application
The Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act is codified at 40 USC 3701, et seq.
The Act applies to grantee contracts and subcontracts “financed at least in part by loans or
grants from … the [Federal] Government.” 40 USC 3701(b)(1)(B)(iii) and (b)(2), 29 CFR
5.2(h), 49 CFR 18.36(i)(6). Although the original Act required its application in any
construction contract over $2,000 or non-construction contract to which the Act applied
over $2,500 (and language to that effect is still found in 49 CFR 18.36(i)(6)), the Act no
longer applies to any “contract in an amount that is not greater than $100,000.” 40 USC
3701(b)(3) (A)(iii).
The Act applies to construction contracts and, in very limited circumstances, non-
construction projects that employ “laborers or mechanics on a public work.” These non-
construction applications do not generally apply to transit procurements because transit
procurements (to include rail cars and buses) are deemed “commercial items.” 40 USC
3707, 41 USC 403 (12). A grantee that contemplates entering into a contract to procure a
developmental or unique item should consult counsel to determine if the Act applies to that
procurement and that additional language required by 29 CFR 5.5(c) must be added to the
basic clause below.
The clause language is drawn directly from 29 CFR 5.5(b) and any deviation from the
model clause below should be coordinated with counsel to ensure the Act’s requirements
are satisfied.
Clause Language Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards
(1) Overtime requirements - No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of
the contract work which may require or involve the employment of laborers or
mechanics shall require or permit any such laborer or mechanic in any workweek in
which he or she is employed on such work to work in excess of forty hours in such
workweek unless such laborer or mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less
than one and one-half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of
forty hours in such workweek.
(2) Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages - In the event of any
violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (1) of this section the contractor and any
subcontractor responsible therefore- shall be liable for the unpaid wages. In addition,
such contractor and subcontractor shall be liable to the United States for liquidated
damages. Such liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each individual
laborer or mechanic, including watchmen and guards, employed in violation of the
clause set forth in paragraph (1) of this section, in the sum of $10 for each calendar
day on which such individual was required or permitted to work in excess of the
standard workweek of forty hours without payment of the overtime wages required by
the clause set forth in paragraph (1) of this section.
(3) Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages - The (write in the name
of the grantee) shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized
representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld, from any
moneys payable on account of work performed by the contractor or subcontractor
under any such contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor,
or any other federally-assisted contract subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety
Standards Act, which is held by the same prime contractor, such sums as may be
determined to be necessary to satisfy any liabilities of such contractor or subcontractor
for unpaid wages and liquidated damages as provided in the clause set forth in
paragraph (2) of this section.
(4) Subcontracts - The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the
clauses set forth in paragraphs (1) through (4) of this section and also a clause
requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts.
The prime contractor shall be responsible for compliance by any subcontractor or
lower tier subcontractor with the clauses set forth in paragraphs (1) through (4) of this
section.
19. BONDING REQUIREMENTS
Applicability to Contracts
For those construction or facility improvement contracts or subcontracts exceeding
$100,000, FTA may accept the bonding policy and requirements of the recipient, provided
that they meet the minimum requirements for construction contracts as follows:
(a) A bid guarantee from each bidder equivalent to five (5) percent of the bid price. The
"bid guarantees" shall consist of a firm commitment such as a bid bond, certifies
check, or other negotiable instrument accompanying a bid as assurance that the
bidder will, upon acceptance of his bid, execute such contractual documents as may
be required within the time specified.
(b) A performance bond on the part to the Contractor for 100 percent of the contract price.
A "performance bond" is one executed in connection with a contract to secure
fulfillment of all the contractor's obligations under such contract.
(c) A payment bond on the part of the contractor for 100 percent of the contract price. A
"payment bond" is one executed in connection with a contract to assure payment, as
required by law, of all persons supplying labor and material in the execution of the
work provided for in the contract. Payment bond amounts required from Contractors
are as follows:
1. 50% of the contract price if the contract price is not more than $1 million;
2. 40% of the contract price if the contract price is more than $1 million but not more
than $5 million; or
3. $2.5 million if the contract price is more than $5 million.
(d) A cash deposit, certified check or other negotiable instrument may be accepted by a
grantee in lieu of performance and payment bonds, provided the grantee has
established a procedure to assure that the interest of FTA is adequately protected. An
irrevocable letter of credit would also satisfy the requirement for a bond.
Flow Down
Bonding requirements flow down to the first tier contractors.
Model Clauses/Language
FTA does not prescribe specific wording to be included in third party contracts. FTA has
prepared sample clauses as follows:
Bid Bond Requirements (Construction)
(a) Bid Security
A Bid Bond must be issued by a fully qualified surety company acceptable to the City
and listed as a company currently authorized under 31 CFR, Part 223 as possessing a
Certificate of Authority as described thereunder.
(b) Rights Reserved
In submitting this Bid, it is understood and agreed by bidder that the right is reserved
by the City to reject any and all bids, or part of any bid, and it is agreed that the Bid
may not be withdrawn for a period of [ninety (90)] days subsequent to the opening of
bids, without the written consent of the City.
It is also understood and agreed that if the undersigned bidder should withdraw any
part or all of his bid within [ninety (90)] days after the bid opening without the written
consent of the City, shall refuse or be unable to enter into this Contract, as provided
above, or refuse or be unable to furnish adequate and acceptable Performance Bonds
and Labor and Material Payments Bonds, as provided above, or refuse or be unable to
furnish adequate and acceptable insurance, as provided above, he shall forfeit his bid
security to the extent of (Recipient's) damages occasioned by such withdrawal, or
refusal, or inability to enter into an agreement, or provide adequate security therefore.
It is further understood and agreed that to the extent the defaulting bidder's Bid Bond,
Certified Check, Cashier's Check, Treasurer's Check, and/or Official Bank Check
(excluding any income generated thereby which has been retained by the City as
provided in [Item x "Bid Security" of the Instructions to Bidders]) shall prove inadequate
to fully recompense the City for the damages occasioned by default, then the
undersigned bidder agrees to indemnify the City and pay over to the City the difference
between the bid security and (Recipient's) total damages, so as to make the City
whole.
The undersigned understands that any material alteration of any of the above or any of
the material contained on this form, other than that requested, will render the bid
unresponsive.
Performance and Payment Bonding Requirements (Construction)
The Contractor shall be required to obtain performance and payment bonds as follows:
(a) Performance bonds
1. The penal amount of performance bonds shall be 100 percent of the original
contract price, unless the the City determines that a lesser amount would be
adequate for the protection of the City.
2. The City may require additional performance bond protection when a contract price
is increased. The increase in protection shall generally equal 100 percent of the
increase in contract price. The City may secure additional protection by directing
the Contractor to increase the penal amount of the existing bond or to obtain an
additional bond.
(b) Payment bonds
1. The penal amount of the payment bonds shall equal:
(i) Fifty percent of the contract price if the contract price is not more than $1
million.
(ii) Forty percent of the contract price if the contract price is more than $1 million
but not more than $5 million; or
(iii) Two and one half million if the contract price is more than $5 million.
2. If the original contract price is $5 million or less, the City may require additional
protection as required by subparagraph 1 if the contract price is increased.
Performance and Payment Bonding Requirements (Non-Construction)
The Contractor may be required to obtain performance and payment bonds when
necessary to protect the (Recipient's) interest.
(a) The following situations may warrant a performance bond:
1. City property or funds are to be provided to the contractor for use in performing the
contract or as partial compensation (as in retention of salvaged material).
2. A contractor sells assets to or merges with another concern, and the City, after
recognizing the latter concern as the successor in interest, desires assurance that
it is financially capable.
3. Substantial progress payments are made before delivery of end items starts.
4. Contracts are for dismantling, demolition, or removal of improvements.
(b) When it is determined that a performance bond is required, the Contractor shall be

contract price, unless the City determines that a lesser amount would be adequate
for the protection of the City.
2. The City may require additional performance bond protection when a contract price
is increased. The increase in protection shall generally equal 100 percent of the
increase in contract price. The City may secure additional protection by directing
the Contractor to increase the penal amount of the existing bond or to obtain an
additional bond.
(c) A payment bond is required only when a performance bond is required, and if the use
of payment bond is in the (Recipient's) interest.
(d) When it is determined that a payment bond is required, the Contractor shall be required
to obtain payment bonds as follows:
1. The penal amount of payment bonds shall equal:
(i) Fifty percent of the contract price if the contract price is not more than $1

but not more than $5 million; or
(iii) Two and one half million if the contract price is increased.

contains an advance payment provision and a performance bond is not furnished. The
City shall determine the amount of the advance payment bond necessary to protect the
City.
Patent Infringement Bonding Requirements (Patent Indemnity)
The Contractor may be required to obtain a patent indemnity bond if a performance bond
is not furnished and the financial responsibility of the Contractor is unknown or doubtful.
