Liggett and Lewis 617 Compliance Training—Streamlining and Removing Barriers Training and dissemination of information regarding prevailing wage requirements begins in the contract document itself, with accurate prevailing wage language and wage rates, and continues throughout the course of the light rail project. Figure 1 illustrates the types of contracting methods and variations in application of DBA. By compiling relevant, practical data that can be easily understood and passed on, the agency’s oversight role is more easily accomplished. TriMet’s goal is to develop and package the information in a manner that will be most useful to various stakeholders, keeping them in compliance and on track. The importance of communicating accurate data cannot be stressed enough. TriMet views training as a mentoring opportunity, in which the agency educates contractors, so they, in turn, can train their subcontractors. The preconstruction meeting offers a great first opportunity for contractors and subcontractors to obtain a package of relevant “how-to” prevailing wage data from the contracting agency. The rates in effect at the time the agency advertises a project for bid are rates to be paid throughout the project, except: IFB 1. Any action modifying the general wage determination is effective if notice of such action was published before contract award. (FED PW) 2. If a modification is published less than 10 days before bid opening, the modification is effective unless the agency finds that there is not reasonable time still available before bid opening to notify bidders and the agency places a report of the finding in the contract file; or 3. If contract has not been awarded within 90 days after bid opening, a modification published prior to award is effective unless agency head or designee requests and obtains extension of 90 day period from the Department of Labor. Type of Construction Contract RFP Any action modifying the general wage determination is effective if notice o such action was published before contract award. (FED PW) Construction Manager General Contractor CM/GC Any action modifying the general wage determination is effective if notice of such action was published before execution of the contract modification that adds construction services to the scope of the CM/GC contract. APPLIES TO BOTH FEDERAL DAVIS-BACON AND STATE BOLI PW. The General Wage Determination and any effective Modifications should be set forth in the LABOR COMPLIANCE MANUAL. Always refer to the LABOR COMPLIANCE MANUAL and attached wage determination in the contract. Appropriate Prevailing Wage law and regulations reviewed in Pre-Construction Meeting FIGURE 1 Prevailing wage requirements—type of contract.
618 Transportation Research Circular E-C058: 9th National Light Rail Transit Conference TriMet has developed a package of resource tools for distribution at the pre-construction meeting, including the following: • Labor Compliance Manual (specific to each contract); • Wage Determination (specific to each contract); • Federal poster; • Sample Certified Payroll Form (WH-347); • Statement of Compliance—Certification; • DBA Information Guideline on Completing a Payroll; • Contractor’s Checklist and Common Errors; and • Truck Log Ticket Sample Form. See Table 1 for a description of each item. TriMet has found that when contract-specific documents, such as the wage determination, are combined with resource materials such as these, they serve as a useful aid and continuing resource for the contractor and subcontractors involved. This package also provides key contacts for responding to questions as they come up during the course of construction. Completing the Certified Payroll Report Contractors and subcontractors may view completion of the CPRs as a daunting exercise, but with guidance from the contracting agency, the process can be streamlined and simplified. The public agency can assist contractors by providing detailed instructions on how to complete a CPR. Such instructions can be particularly helpful for emerging businesses or contractors that have limited or no prior experience with prevailing wage projects. The necessary information is readily available through the DOL (7). Subcontractors are instructed to send all weekly CPRs to the prime contractor, who then forwards the documentation to TriMet’s project manager and contracts compliance specialist for detailed review. When corrections or clarifications are needed, the contracts compliance specialist advises the project manager, who then informs the prime contractor. It is the prime contractor’s responsibility to take action to resolve prevailing wage issues at the subcontractor level. TriMet’s process keeps all necessary parties involved and informed. The process is illustrated in Figure 2. Certified Payroll Compliance Can Affect the Contractor’s Bottom Line Certified payroll information must coincide with the contract wage determination. The federal wage determination may contain many worker classifications and descriptions that vary between state, union, and type of construction. This can lead to confusion and frustration among contractors, particularly those with limited or no experience on public works projects. A contractor’s misunderstanding of CPR requirements can become a dollar issue. For example, contractors often employ workers to perform more than a single type of work on a project. In such a case, the worker is considered to have a “split classification.” DBA permits the contractor to pay the worker the wage rates specified for each classification only if the contractor maintains accurate time records showing the amount of time spent in each
