All wiring shall be in minimum ½" steel raceway, unless free-air wiring is approved.


40% fill factor shall be applied to all conduit sizes. The contractor shall size conduit and boxes by circular mil size of each cable in each conduit or box. The circular mil sizing can be found on the manufacture's spec sheet, then use the NEC codebook to make calculation to follow NEC Chapter 9 Tables and Annex C for box and conduit fill. There shall be no sharp edges with installed materials. Use only identified conduit entries or request approval for other penetrations in cabinets; (certain areas require clear space for interior components / batteries). Cabinet shall be grounded to either a cold water pipe or grounding rod. Existing conduit and surface metal raceway that is ½” in size or larger may be reused if found to have adequate space provided that it only serves the fire Alarm system and doesn’t contain any AC wiring. All existing conduit that is reused MUST be brought up to the current State of Wisconsin Electrical Code and Approved for usage by the Engineer prior to work being done. FREE AIR WIRING: All wiring shall be run “free-air”, in conduit or in surface raceway. "Free-air" wiring for horizontal cable runs of Power Limited FIRE Alarm (PLFA) DC circuits as approved by the Engineer shall be the method of installation only

Finished accessible ceiling in the following areas:

Trainees shal l be paid fr inge benefi ts in accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. I f the trainee program does not mention fr inge benefi ts, t rainees shal l be paid the ful l amount of f r inge benefi ts l isted on the wage determinat ion unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Divis ion determines that there is an apprent iceship program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determinat ion which provides for less than ful l f r inge benefi ts for apprent ices. Any employee l isted on the payrol l at a trainee rate who is not registered and part ic ipat ing in a training plan approved by



the Employment and Training Administrat ion shal l be paid not less than the appl icable wage rate on the wage determinat ion for the work actual ly performed. In addit ion, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the rat io permit ted under the registered program shal l be paid not less than the appl icable wage rate on the wage determinat ion for the work actual ly performed. In the event the Employment and Training Administrat ion withdraws approval of a tra ining program, the contractor wi l l no longer be permit ted to ut i l ize trainees at less than the appl icable predetermined rate for the work performed unt i l an acceptable program is approved.

(i i i ) Equal employment opportunity. The ut i l izat ion of apprent ices, trainees and journeymen under 29 CFR Part 5 shal l be in conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of Execut ive Order 11246, as amended, and 29 CFR Part 30.

================================================================

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included withinthe scope of the classifications listed may be added afteraward only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses(29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).

‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

The body of each wage determination lists the classificationand wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for thecited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wagedetermination. The classifications are listed in alphabeticalorder of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particularrate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local),a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate(weighted union average rate).

Union Rate Identifiers

A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosedin dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" or"UAVG" denotes that the union classification and rate wereprevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:PLUM0198‐005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of

the union which prevailed in the survey for thisclassification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198indicates the local union number or district council numberwhere applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number,005 in the example, is an internal number used in processingthe wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of themost current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1,2014.

Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all ratechanges in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governingthis classification and rate.

Survey Rate Identifiers

Classifications listed under the "SU" identifier indicate thatno one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey andthe published rate is derived by computing a weighted averagerate based on all the rates reported in the survey for thatclassification. As this weighted average rate includes allrates reported in the survey, it may include both union andnon‐union rates. Example: SULA2012‐007 5/13/2014. SU indicatesthe rates are survey rates based on a weighted averagecalculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicatesthe State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on whichthese classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007in the example, is an internal number used in producing thewage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completiondate for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until anew survey is conducted.

Union Average Rate Identifiers

Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicatethat no single majority rate prevailed for thoseclassifications; however, 100% of the data reported for theclassifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG‐OH‐001008/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted unionaverage rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 inthe example, is an internal number used in producing the wagedetermination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion datefor the classifications and rates under that identifier.

A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January ofeach year, to reflect a weighted average of the currentnegotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate isbased.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This canbe:

* 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 requestsfor summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and HourRegional Office for the area in which the survey was conductedbecause those Regional Offices have responsibility for theDavis‐Bacon survey program. If the response from this initialcontact 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 formalprocess described here, initial contact should be with theBranch 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 aninterested party (those affected by the action) can requestreview 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 theinterested party's position and by any information (wagepayment 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, aninterested party may appeal directly to the AdministrativeReview 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.

Rev. Dec. 2008

Rev. Dec. 2008

While completion of Form WH-347 is optional, it is mandatory for covered contractors and subcontractors performing work on Federally financed or assisted construction contracts to respond to the information collection contained in 29 C.F.R. §§ 3.3, 5.5(a). The Copeland Act (40 U.S.C. § 3145) contractors and subcontractors performing work on Federally financed or assisted construction contracts to "furnish weekly a statement with respect to the wages paid each employee during the preceding week." U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) regulations at 29 C.F.R. § 5.5(a)(3)(ii) require contractors to submit weekly a copy of all payrolls to the Federal agency contracting for or financing the construction project, accompanied by a signed "Statement of Compliance" indicating that the payrolls are correct and complete and that each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the proper Davis-Bacon prevailing wage rate for the work performed. DOL and federal contracting agencies receiving this information review the information to determine that employees have received legally required wages and fringe benefits.

Public Burden Statement

We estimate that is will take an average of 55 minutes to complete this collection, including time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. If you have any comments regarding these estimates or any other aspect of this collection, including suggestions for reducing this burden, send them to the Administrator, Wage and Hour Division, U.S. Department of Labor, Room S3502, 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20210
