FEDERAL AWARDS (APPENDIX II TO 2 CFR PART 200)
All contracts made by a non-Federal entity under a Federal award must contain provisions covering
the following, as applicable. These provisions are required and apply under certain conditions
when federal funds are expended to make purchases from this solicitation by the City or for any
contracts resulting from this procurement process.
1.1 TERMINATION FOR CAUSE AND CONVENIENCE
1.1.1. Remedies for violation or breach of contract: Remedies for violation or breach of
contract are addressed under General Terms and Conditions.
1.1.2. Termination for cause and convenience: Termination for cause and for convenience
are addressed under General Terms and Conditions.
1.2 EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY
1.2.1. Any contract that uses federal funds to pay for construction work is a “federally
assisted construction contract” and must include the equal opportunity clause found
in 2 C.F.R. Part 200, unless otherwise stated in 41 C.F.R. Part 60.7 .
1.2.2. The regulation at 41 C.F.R. § 60-1.4(b) requires, except as otherwise provided or
exempted in 41 C.F.R. Part 60, the insertion of the following contract clause:
“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,

CrowderGulf Joint Venture, Inc. Page 5 of 25
Amendment One
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 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
Docusign Envelope ID: 49FF82A0-BA71-40D5-BDB2-17A1659D972B
CrowderGulf Joint Venture, Inc. Page 6 of 25
Amendment One
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. 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.”
1.3 DAVIS-BACON ACT
1.3.1. This statute requires that contractors must pay wages to laborers and mechanics at
a rate not less than the prevailing wages specified in the Secretary of Labor’s wage
determination. Additionally, contractors are required to pay wages at least once per
week.
1.3.2. The Davis-Bacon Act only applies to the Emergency Management Performance
Grant Program, Homeland Security Grant Program, Nonprofit Security Grant
Program, Tribal Homeland Security Grant Program, Port Security Grant Program,
Transit Security Grant Program, Intercity Passenger Rail Program, and
Rehabilitation of High Hazard Potential Dams Program. Unless otherwise stated in
a program’s authorizing statute, it does not apply to other FEMA grant and
cooperative agreement programs, including the PA Program.
1.3.3. If the Davis-Bacon Act applies, a copy of the Department of Labor’s current
prevailing wage determination will be included in the solicitation. The contractor
and subcontractors accept the prevailing wage determination by submitting a
proposal.
1.3.4. § 5.5 Contract provisions and related matters.
(a) Required contract clauses. The Agency head will cause or require the
contracting officer to require the contracting officer to insert in full, or (for contracts
covered by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (48 CFR chapter 1)) by reference,
Docusign Envelope ID: 49FF82A0-BA71-40D5-BDB2-17A1659D972B
CrowderGulf Joint Venture, Inc. Page 7 of 25
Amendment One
in any contract in excess of $2,000 which is entered into for the actual construction,
alteration and/or repair, including painting and decorating, of a public building or
public work, or building or work financed in whole or in part from Federal funds
or in accordance with guarantees of a Federal agency or financed from funds
obtained by pledge of any contract of a Federal agency to make a loan, grant or
annual contribution (except where a different meaning is expressly indicated), and
which is subject to the labor standards provisions of any of the laws referenced by
§ 5.1, the following clauses (or any modifications thereof to meet the particular
needs of the agency, Provided, That such modifications are first approved by the
Department of Labor):
(1) Minimum wages —
(i) Wage rates and fringe benefits. All laborers and mechanics employed
or working upon the site of the work (or otherwise working in construction
or development of the project under a development statute), 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 basic hourly 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. As
provided in paragraphs (d) and (e) of this section, the appropriate wage
determinations are effective by operation of law even if they have not been
attached to the contract. Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated
for bona fide fringe benefits under the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C.
3141(2)(B)) on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid
to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph
(a)(1)(v) 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 must be paid the appropriate wage rate and
fringe benefits on the wage determination for the classification(s) of work
actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in paragraph
(a)(4) of this section. 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 (a)(1)(iii) of this section) and the Davis-Bacon poster (WH-1321)
must be posted at all times by the contractor and its subcontractors at the
Docusign Envelope ID: 49FF82A0-BA71-40D5-BDB2-17A1659D972B
CrowderGulf Joint Venture, Inc. Page 8 of 25
Amendment One
site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can be easily
seen by the workers.
(ii) Frequently recurring classifications.
(A) In addition to wage and fringe benefit rates that have been
determined to be prevailing under the procedures set forth in 29 CFR
part 1, a wage determination may contain, pursuant to § 1.3(f), wage
and fringe benefit rates for classifications of laborers and mechanics
for which conformance requests are regularly submitted pursuant to
paragraph (a)(1)(iii) of this section, provided that:
(1) The work performed by the classification is not
performed by a classification in the wage determination for
which a prevailing wage rate has been determined;
(2) The classification is used in the area by the construction
industry; and
(3) The wage rate for the classification bears a reasonable
relationship to the prevailing wage rates contained in the
wage determination.
(B) The Administrator will establish wage rates for such
classifications in accordance with paragraph (a)(1)(iii)(A)(3) of this
section. Work performed in such a classification must be paid at no
less than the wage and fringe benefit rate listed on the wage
determination for such classification.
(iii) Conformance.
(A) The contracting officer must 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 be
classified in conformance with the wage determination.
Conformance of an additional classification and wage rate and
fringe benefits is appropriate 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
Docusign Envelope ID: 49FF82A0-BA71-40D5-BDB2-17A1659D972B
CrowderGulf Joint Venture, Inc. Page 9 of 25
Amendment One
(2) The classification is used 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) The conformance process may not be used to split, subdivide, or
otherwise avoid application of classifications listed in the wage
determination.
(C) 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 will be sent by the
contracting officer by email to DBAconformance@dol.gov. 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.
(D) 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 will, by email to
DBAconformance@dol.gov, 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.
(E) The contracting officer must promptly notify the contractor of
the action taken by the Wage and Hour Division under paragraphs
(a)(1)(iii)(C) and (D) of this section. The contractor must furnish a
written copy of such determination to each affected worker or it
must be posted as a part of the wage determination. The wage rate
(including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant
to paragraph (a)(1)(iii)(C) or (D) of this section must 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.

CrowderGulf Joint Venture, Inc. Page 10 of 25
Amendment One
(iv) Fringe benefits not expressed as an hourly rate. 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 may either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination
or may pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent
thereof.
(v) Unfunded plans. 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,
in accordance with the criteria set forth in § 5.28, 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.
(vi) Interest. In the event of a failure to pay all or part of the wages required
by the contract, the contractor will be required to pay interest on any
underpayment of wages.
(2) Withholding —
(i) Withholding requirements. The [write in name of Federal agency or the
recipient of Federal assistance] may, upon its own action, or must, upon
written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor,
withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor so much of the accrued
payments or advances as may be considered necessary to satisfy the
liabilities of the prime contractor or any subcontractor for the full amount
of wages and monetary relief, including interest, required by the clauses set
forth in paragraph (a) of this section for violations of this contract, or to
satisfy any such liabilities required by any other Federal contract, or
federally assisted contract subject to Davis-Bacon labor standards, that is
held by the same prime contractor (as defined in § 5.2). The necessary funds
may be withheld from the contractor under this contract, any other Federal
contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally assisted
contract that is subject to Davis-Bacon labor standards requirements and is
held by the same prime contractor, regardless of whether the other contract
was awarded or assisted by the same agency, and such funds may be used
to satisfy the contractor liability for which the funds were withheld. In the
event of a contractor's failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any
apprentice or helper working on the site of the work (or otherwise working
in construction or development of the project under a development statute)
all or part of the wages required by the contract, or upon the contractor's
failure to submit the required records as discussed in paragraph (a)(3)(iv) of
this section, the [Agency] may on its own initiative and after written notice
Docusign Envelope ID: 49FF82A0-BA71-40D5-BDB2-17A1659D972B
CrowderGulf Joint Venture, Inc. Page 11 of 25
Amendment One
to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, owner, or other entity, as the case may
be, 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.
(ii) Priority to withheld funds. The Department has priority to funds
withheld or to be withheld in accordance with paragraph (a)(2)(i) or (b)(3)(i)
of this section, or both, over claims to those funds by:
(A) A contractor's surety(ies), including without limitation
performance bond sureties and payment bond sureties;
(B) A contracting agency for its reprocurement costs;
(C) A trustee(s) (either a court-appointed trustee or a U.S. trustee, or
both) in bankruptcy of a contractor, or a contractor's bankruptcy
estate;
(D) A contractor's assignee(s);
(E) A contractor's successor(s); or
(F) A claim asserted under the Prompt Payment Act, 31 U.S.C. 3901-
3907.
(3) Records and certified payrolls —
(i) Basic record requirements —
(A) Length of record retention. All regular payrolls and other basic
records must be maintained by the contractor and any subcontractor
during the course of the work and preserved for all laborers and
mechanics working at the site of the work (or otherwise working in
construction or development of the project under a development
statute) for a period of at least 3 years after all the work on the prime
contract is completed.
(B) Information required. Such records must contain the name;
Social Security number; last known address, telephone number, and
email address of each such worker; each worker's correct
classification(s) of work actually performed; 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 40 U.S.C. 3141(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act); daily and weekly
number of hours actually worked in total and on each covered
contract; deductions made; and actual wages paid.
Docusign Envelope ID: 49FF82A0-BA71-40D5-BDB2-17A1659D972B
CrowderGulf Joint Venture, Inc. Page 12 of 25
Amendment One
(C) Additional records relating to fringe benefits. Whenever the
Secretary of Labor has found under paragraph (a)(1)(v) of this section
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 40 U.S.C. 3141(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act,
the contractor must 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.
(D) Additional records relating to apprenticeship. Contractors with
apprentices working under approved programs must maintain written
evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs, the
registration of the apprentices, and the ratios and wage rates
prescribed in the applicable programs.
(ii) Certified payroll requirements —
(A) Frequency and method of submission. The contractor or
subcontractor must submit weekly, for each week in which any DBA-
or Related Acts-covered work is performed, certified payrolls to the
[write in name of appropriate Federal agency] if the agency is a party
to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the contractor
will submit the certified payrolls to the applicant, sponsor, owner, or
other entity, as the case may be, that maintains such records, for
transmission to the [write in name of agency]. The prime contractor
is responsible for the submission of all certified payrolls by all
subcontractors. A contracting agency or prime contractor may permit
or require contractors to submit certified payrolls through an
electronic system, as long as the electronic system requires a legally
valid electronic signature; the system allows the contractor, the
contracting agency, and the Department of Labor to access the
certified payrolls upon request for at least 3 years after the work on
the prime contract has been completed; and the contracting agency
or prime contractor permits other methods of submission in situations
where the contractor is unable or limited in its ability to use or access
the electronic system.
(B) Information required. The certified payrolls submitted must set
out accurately and completely all of the information required to be
maintained under paragraph (a)(3)(i)(B) of this section, except that
full Social Security numbers and last known addresses, telephone
numbers, and email addresses must not be included on weekly
transmittals. Instead, the certified payrolls need only include an
Docusign Envelope ID: 49FF82A0-BA71-40D5-BDB2-17A1659D972B
CrowderGulf Joint Venture, Inc. Page 13 of 25
Amendment One
individually identifying number for each worker (e.g., the last four
digits of the worker's Social Security number). The required weekly
certified payroll information may be submitted using Optional Form
WH-347 or in any other format desired. Optional Form WH-347 is
available for this purpose from the Wage and Hour Division website
at
https://www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/files/WHD/legacy/files/wh347/.pdf
or its successor website. It is not a violation of this section for a prime
contractor to require a subcontractor to provide full Social Security
numbers and last known addresses, telephone numbers, and email
addresses to the prime contractor for its own records, without weekly
submission by the subcontractor to the sponsoring government
agency (or the applicant, sponsor, owner, or other entity, as the case
may be, that maintains such records).
(C) Statement of Compliance. Each certified payroll submitted must
be accompanied by a “Statement of Compliance,” signed by the
contractor or subcontractor, or the contractor's or subcontractor's
agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons working on
the contract, and must certify the following:
(1) That the certified payroll for the payroll period contains
the information required to be provided under paragraph
(a)(3)(ii) of this section, the appropriate information and
basic records are being maintained under paragraph (a)(3)(i)
of this section, and such information and records are correct
and complete;
(2) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper and
apprentice) working 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 29 CFR part
3; and
(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(s) of work actually
performed, as specified in the applicable wage determination
incorporated into the contract.
(D) Use of Optional Form WH-347. The weekly submission of a
properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of
Optional Form WH-347 will satisfy the requirement for submission
Docusign Envelope ID: 49FF82A0-BA71-40D5-BDB2-17A1659D972B
CrowderGulf Joint Venture, Inc. Page 14 of 25
Amendment One
of the “Statement of Compliance” required by paragraph (a)(3)(ii)(C)
of this section.
(E) Signature. The signature by the contractor, subcontractor, or the
contractor's or subcontractor's agent must be an original handwritten
signature or a legally valid electronic signature.
(F) Falsification. The falsification of any of the above certifications
may subject the contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal
prosecution under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 31 U.S.C. 3729.
(G) Length of certified payroll retention. The contractor or
subcontractor must preserve all certified payrolls during the course
of the work and for a period of 3 years after all the work on the prime
contract is completed.
(iii) Contracts, subcontracts, and related documents. The contractor or
subcontractor must maintain this contract or subcontract and related
documents including, without limitation, bids, proposals, amendments,
modifications, and extensions. The contractor or subcontractor must
preserve these contracts, subcontracts, and related documents during the
course of the work and for a period of 3 years after all the work on the prime
contract is completed.
(iv) Required disclosures and access —
(A) Required record disclosures and access to workers. The
contractor or subcontractor must make the records required under
paragraphs (a)(3)(i) through (iii) of this section, and any other
documents that the [write the name of the agency] or the Department
of Labor deems necessary to determine compliance with the labor
standards provisions of any of the applicable statutes referenced by §
5.1, available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized
representatives of the [write the name of the agency] or the
Department of Labor, and must permit such representatives to
interview workers during working hours on the job.
(B) Sanctions for non-compliance with records and worker access
requirements. If the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the
required records or to make them available, or refuses to permit
worker interviews during working hours on the job, the Federal
agency may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant,
owner, or other entity, as the case may be, that maintains such records
or that employs such workers, take such action as may be necessary
to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or

records upon request or to make such records available, or to permit
worker interviews during working hours on the job, may be grounds
for debarment action pursuant to § 5.12. In addition, any contractor
or other person that fails to submit the required records or make those
records available to WHD within the time WHD requests that the
records be produced will be precluded from introducing as evidence
in an administrative proceeding under 29 CFR part 6 any of the
required records that were not provided or made available to WHD.
WHD will take into consideration a reasonable request from the
contractor or person for an extension of the time for submission of
records. WHD will determine the reasonableness of the request and
may consider, among other things, the location of the records and the
volume of production.
(C) Required information disclosures. Contractors and
subcontractors must maintain the full Social Security number and last
known address, telephone number, and email address of each covered
worker, and must provide them upon request to the [write in name of
appropriate Federal agency] if the agency is a party to the contract,
or to the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor. If the
Federal agency is not such a party to the contract, the contractor,
subcontractor, or both, must, upon request, provide the full Social
Security number and last known address, telephone number, and
email address of each covered worker to the applicant, sponsor,
owner, or other entity, as the case may be, that maintains such
records, for transmission to the [write in name of agency], the
contractor, or the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of
Labor for purposes of an investigation or other compliance action.
(4) Apprentices and equal employment opportunity —
(i) Apprentices —
(A) Rate of pay. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than
the predetermined rate for the work they perform 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, Office of
Apprenticeship (OA), or with a State Apprenticeship Agency
recognized by the OA. A person who is not individually registered in
the program, but who has been certified by the OA or a State
Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for
probationary employment as an apprentice, will be permitted to work
at less than the predetermined rate for the work they perform in the
first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such a
program. In the event the OA or a State Apprenticeship Agency
Docusign Envelope ID: 49FF82A0-BA71-40D5-BDB2-17A1659D972B
CrowderGulf Joint Venture, Inc. Page 16 of 25
Amendment One
recognized by the OA withdraws approval of an apprenticeship
program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to use apprentices
at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed
until an acceptable program is approved.
(B) Fringe benefits. Apprentices must 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
determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable
apprentice classification, fringe benefits must be paid in accordance
with that determination.
(C) Apprenticeship ratio. The allowable ratio of apprentices to
journeyworkers on the job site in any craft classification must not be
greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work
force under the registered program or the ratio applicable to the
locality of the project pursuant to paragraph (a)(4)(i)(D) of this
section. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate,
who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated in paragraph
(a)(4)(i)(A) of this section, must 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 this section must be
paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination
for the work actually performed.
(D) Reciprocity of ratios and wage rates. Where a contractor is
performing construction on a project in a locality other than the
locality in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates
(expressed in percentages of the journeyworker's hourly rate)
applicable within the locality in which the construction is being
performed must be observed. If there is no applicable ratio or wage
rate for the locality of the project, the ratio and wage rate specified in
the contractor's registered program must be observed.
(ii) Equal employment opportunity. The use of apprentices and
journeyworkers under this part must 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.

clauses and wage determination(s) in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime
contractor is responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier
subcontractor with all the contract clauses in this section. In the event of any
violations of these clauses, the prime contractor and any subcontractor(s)
responsible will be liable for any unpaid wages and monetary relief, including
interest from the date of the underpayment or loss, due to any workers of lower-tier
subcontractors, and may be subject to debarment, as appropriate.
(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.
