Construction Services Agreement <br />REV: 04-26-2021 PR <br />00 5205 - 34 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />LABOR STANDARDS PROVISIONS AND RELATED MATTERS <br /> <br /> <br />1. The term "wage decision" means the Federal wage determination which is applicable and <br />current at the following stage of development for the project: <br /> <br />a. The date bids are opened provided that the contract is awarded within 90 days after <br />bid opening; or <br />b. If the contract is awarded more than 90 days after bid opening, a general wage <br />decision must be updated as of the date of award unless an extension is obtained. <br /> <br />The wage decision represents the minimum rates prevalent in the locality in which the work <br />is to be performed as determined by the Secretary of Labor for classes of laborers and <br />mechanics on construction of a similar nature, in accordance with the Davis-Bacon Act, as <br />amended. The wage decision represents the minimum rates which must be paid to all <br />laborers and mechanics employed or working on the site of the work. The wage decision <br />which applies to this project is included in the bid specifications. <br />2. Any class of laborers or mechanics which is not listed in the wage decision and which is to <br />be employed on the project shall be classified or reclassified in conformance with the wage <br />decision, and a report of the action taken shall be sent by U.S. Department of Housing and <br />Urban Development (HUD) to the Secretary of Labor. No payrolls will be accepted by the <br />City which lists classifications that are not contained in the wage decision, or approved for <br />the project by the additional classification process. Any request for additional classifications <br />should be submitted in writing to the City no later than ten (10) days from the date of the <br />Preconstruction Conference. In the event the interested parties cannot agree on the proper <br />classification or reclassification of a particular class of laborers or mechanics to be used, the <br />questions, accompanied by the recommendation of HUD, shall be referred to the Secretary <br />of Labor for final determination. Unclassified personnel may not work on the job until after <br />this matter is resolved. <br /> <br /> "Helper" classifications will not be approved by the City for additional classification, and may <br />not be utilized for the project unless specifically designated on the wage decision. <br />3. All mechanics and laborers employed in the construction of the project shall be paid <br />unconditionally and not less often than once a week, the full amount of wages and bona- <br />fide fringe benefits due at the time of payment computed at wages not less than those <br />contained in the wage decision. Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated under <br />section 1(b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered
