Page 7 of 155
BIDDER certifies that wages paid in connection with the PROJECT shall be paid at prevailing rates
not less than those prevailing under the Davis-Bacon Wage Act. Bidder further certifies that the provisions
contained in the following clauses will be exercised in the performance of any contract resulting from this
BID and are made a part of the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS thereto by their inclusion in the BID as
follows:
(1) Minimum wages.
(i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work, 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 1(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 (a)(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 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 classification and wage rates conformed under paragraph (a)(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. Sub recipients may obtain wage determinations
from the U.S. Department of Labor's web site, http://beta.sam.gov/
(ii) (A) The sub-recipient, on behalf of USEPA, 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
USEPA award official shall approve an additional classification and wage rate and fringe
benefits therefore 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
(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 sub-recipient 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 sub-recipient to IEPA. IEPA shall forward the report to the
Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington,

Page 8 of 155
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 IEPA
or will notify IEPA within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary.
(C) In the even the contractor, the laborers, or mechanics to be employed in the classification
or their representatives, and the sub-recipient do not agree on the proposed classification
and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), IEPA
shall refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the
recommendation of the sub-recipient, to the Administrator for determination. The
Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of
receipt and so advise IEPA or will notify IEPA 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)(ii)(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.
(2) Withholding. The sub-recipient 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, all or part of the wages required by the contract, the sub-recipient
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.
(3) Payrolls and basic records.
(i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the contractor during the course
of the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics
working at the site of the work. Such records shall contain the 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

Page 9 of 155
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 1(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 sub-recipient. Such documentation shall be available upon request
of IEPA or USEPA. The payrolls submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of the
information required to be maintained under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i), except that full social
security numbers and home addresses shall not be included on weekly transmittals. Instead
the payrolls shall only need to include an individually identifying number for each employee
(e.g., the last four digits of the employee's social security number). The required weekly
payroll information may be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH-347 is available
for this purpose from the Wage and Hour Division Website,
[https://www.dol.gov/whd/forms/index.htm]. The prime contractor is responsible for the
submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors. Contractors and subcontractors shall
maintain the full social security number and current address of each covered worker and shall
provide them upon request to the sub-recipient, for transmission to the IEPA, USEPA, the
contractor, or the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor for purposes of an
investigation or audit of compliance with prevailing wage requirements. It is not a violation of
this section for a prime contractor to require a subcontractor to provide addresses and social
security numbers to the prime contractor for its own records, without weekly submission to
the sub-recipient.
(B) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a "Statement of Compliance," signed by
the contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of
the persons employed under the contract and shall certify the following:
(1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be
provided under 5.5 (a)(3)(ii) of Regulations, 29 CFR part 5, the appropriate
information is being maintained under 5.5 (a)(3)(i) of Regulations, 29 CFR part 5,
and that such information is correct and complete;
(2) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper, apprentice, and trainee)
employed 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 Regulations, 29 CFR part 3;
(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 of work performed, as
specified in the applicable wage determination incorporated into the contract.
(C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side
of Optional Form WH-347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the "Statement of
Compliance" required by paragraph (a)(3)(ii)(B) of this section.

Page 10 of 155
(D) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor or
subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under section 1001 of title 18 and section 231
of title 31 of the United States Code.
(iii) The contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph (a)(3)(i) of
this section available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives
of IEPA, USEPA or the Department of Labor, and shall permit such representatives to interview
employees during working hours on the job. If the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit
the required records or to make them available, the Federal agency 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. Furthermore, failure
to submit the required records upon request or to make such records available may be
grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12.
(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, Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services,
or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, or if a person is employed in
his or her first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such apprenticeship
program, who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the
Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or a State Apprenticeship
Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. The
allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen 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 no 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 determines that a
different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in
accordance with that determination. In the event the Office of Apprenticeship Training,
Employer and Labor Services, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office,
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.
