agreement. Express each of these items of cost as a percentage of payroll, except
fees or dues, which shall be expressed as a cost per hour.
Instead of itemizing the cost of Social Security Tax, Ohio Workers’
Compensation, and State and Federal Unemployment Insurance, the Contractor
may elect to receive as compensation for these payroll taxes and premiums, an
amount equal to 22 percent of the paid wages. If the Contractor pays fringes
directly to the worker in lieu of paying into a fringe benefit program, then the
Department will treat these fringe payments as paid wages when calculating the
allowed 22 percent compensation.
The Department will pay, without mark up, the actual itemized cost of
fees and dues paid to labor unions or to business associations when they are based
on payroll hours and required by a collective bargaining agreement.
The Department will not pay for wages or benefits for personnel
connected with the Contractor’s forces above the classification of foreman that
have only general supervisory responsibility for the force account work.
If the foreman or timekeeper is employed partly on force account work
and partly on other work, the Contractor shall prorate the number of hours between
the force and non-force account work according to the number of people on each
task as shown on payrolls.
The Department will pay the prevailing wage and fringe rates that
apply to the Project for the classifications required for Extra Work. The
Contractor must provide payroll records for pay rates higher than the prevailing
wages and establish that the higher than prevailing rates are paid for original
Contract Work. The Department will pay for foremen and time keepers not
covered by prevailing wages not more than the salaried rate they receive when
engaged in original Contract Work.
The Department will pay actual costs for subsistence and travel
allowances when such payments are required by the collective bargaining
agreement or other employment contracts applicable to the classes of labor
employed on the Project. The Department will not pay a percent mark up on these
costs.
3. Materials. The Department will pay the Contractor’s actual invoice
costs, including applicable taxes and actual freight charges, for Engineer approved
materials the Contractor uses in force account Work. The Department will pay an
additional 15 percent mark up on these costs.
Freight or hauling costs charged to the Contractor and not included in unit
prices shall be itemized and supported by invoices. The cost of owned or rented
equipment used to haul materials to the project is not part of the materials cost.
Such equipment, when used for hauling materials, shall be listed under cost of
equipment.
Provide itemized statements in addition to the documentation requirements
for all equipment including the quantity and price of each material and
transportation charges free on board (F.O.B.) at the job site. Attach invoices to
support the quantities of materials used, unit prices paid and transportation
