and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of
1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or development of the project), 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 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.
Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under section I (b)(2) of the
Davis -Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or
mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph (1)(iv) 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 shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe
benefits on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed, without regard to
skill, except as provided in 29 CFR Part 5.5(a)(4). 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 (1)(ii) of this section) and the Davis -Bacon poster (WH-1321)
shall be posted at all times by the contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent
and accessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers.
(ii)(A) The contracting officer shall 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 shall be
classified in conformance with the wage determination. The contracting officershall approve an additional
classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when the following criteria have been met:
I.Except with respect to helpers as defined as 29 CFR 5.2(n)(4), the work to be performed by the
classification requested is not performed by a classification in the wage determination; and
2.The classification is utilized 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; and
4.With respect to helpers as defined in 29 CFR 5.2(n)(4), such a classification prevails in the area
in which the work is performed.
(B) 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 shall be sent
by the contracting officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment
Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, DC 20210. 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.
(C) 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
shall 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

(B) or (C) of this section, shall 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.
(iii) 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 shall either pay
the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an
hourly cash equivalent thereof.
(iv) 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, 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.
(v)(A) The contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics which is not listed in
the wage determination and which is to be employed under the contract shall be classified in
conformance with the wage determination. The contracting officer shall approve an additional
classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefor only when the following criteria have
been met:
I.The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a
classification in the wage determination; and
2.The classification is utilized 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) 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 shall be sent by the
contracting officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards
Administration, Washington, DC 20210. 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.
(C) 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 shall 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 with 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) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to paragraphs (a)(1)(v) (B) or
(C) of this section, shall 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.
(2) Withholding - The [ insert name of grantee ] shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized
representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor under this
contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally -assisted
contract subject to Davis -Bacon prevailing wage requirements, which is held by the same prime contractor,
so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and
mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed by the contractor or any subcontractor
the full amount of wages required by the contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic,
including any apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or working on the site of the work (or under the
United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or development of
the project), all or part of the wages required by the contract, the [ insert name of grantee ] may, after
written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, 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.

name, address, and social security number of each such worker, his or her correct classification, 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 section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis -Bacon Act), daily and
weekly number of hours worked, deductions made and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor
has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv) 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 section I (b)(2)(B)
of the Davis -Bacon Act, the contractor shall 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. Contractors employing
apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evidence of the registration of
apprenticeship programs and certification of trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and
trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs.
(ii)(A) The contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any contract work is performed a
copy of all payrolls to the [ insert name of grantee ] for transmission to the Federal Transit
Administration. The payrolls submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of the

owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or
guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to make such

(4) Apprentices and trainees - (i) Apprentices - Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined
rate for the work they performed 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, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized
by the Bureau, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of probationary employment as an
apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program, but who
has been certified by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where
appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of
apprentices to joumeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio
permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a
payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall 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 the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination
for the work actually performed. Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality
other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the
journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the contractor's or subcontractor's registered program shall be
observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program for the
apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the
applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall 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 of the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor
determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid
in accordance with that determination. In the event the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or a State
Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the
contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate
for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.
(ii) Trainees - Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the
predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individually
registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S.
Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on the
job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training
Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for
the trainee's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in the
applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of
the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full
amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour
Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding journeyman
wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any
employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and participating in a training plan
approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage
rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any trainee
performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid
not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. In the
event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the
contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for
the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.
(iii) Equal employment opportunity - The utilization of apprentices, trainees and journeymen under this part shall be
in conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246, as amended,

instructions require, and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier
subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower
tier subcontractor with all the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5.
(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.
