I, (Contractor Representative), hereby certify that neither I nor (Name of the company or organization I represent) nor any subcontractors that I or said company may employ to work on any federally funded activity have been suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded by any federal agency from participation in any federally funded activity.

If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours  they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year. Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health‐related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other  health‐related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO  is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.  Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).  ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ The body of each wage determination lists the classification  and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of ""identifiers"" that indicate whether the particular rate 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 enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than ""SU"" or ""UAVG"" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing 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 this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number,  005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing  the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1,  2014.  Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate.  Survey Rate Identifiers  Classifications listed under the ""SU"" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all  rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and  non‐union rates. Example: SULA2012‐007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the  wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.  Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted.  Union Average Rate Identifiers  Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG‐OH‐0010  08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.  A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based.  ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS  1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:  * 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 requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the Davis‐Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact 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 formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch 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 an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review 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 the interested party's position and by any information (wage payment 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, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review 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.  ================================================================  END OF GENERAL DECISION "  PERFORMANCE BOND Bond No. _______________ STATE OF TEXAS § § KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS: COUNTY OF DALLAS § THAT ____________________________, a __________________________, located at _____________________________________________(hereinafter referred to as “Principal”), and _____________________________________ (hereinafter referred to as "Surety"), authorized under the laws of the State of Texas to act as Surety on bonds for principals are held and firmly bound unto the CITY OF MESQUITE (hereinafter referred to as "City") in the penal sum of $______________ (not less than 100% of the approximate total amount of the Contract, as amended, as evidenced in the Proposal) for the payment whereof, the said Principal and Surety bind themselves, and their heirs, administrators, executors, successors and assigns, jointly and severally, by these presents: WHEREAS the Principal has entered into a certain written contract with the City, dated the____ day of ___________ 20__, for the PAVING IMPROVEMENTS FOR GALLOWAY PLACE NEIGHBORHOOD AND NORTHRIDGE ADDITION REPAIRS CITY CONTRACT NO. 2021-042 to which said Contract is hereby referred to and made a part hereof and as fully and to the same extent as if copied at length herein; NOW, THEREFORE, the condition of this obligation is such that if the said Principal fully and faithfully executes the work and performance of the Contract, as amended, in accordance with the Plans, Specifications and Contract Documents, including any extensions thereof, and according to the true intent and meaning of said Contract and the Plans and Specifications hereto annexed, then this obligation shall be void; otherwise, to remain in full force and effect.
