Section 00 31 13.1
ADVANCED PLANNING & SCHEDULING PROCEDURES
A. A key element in the delivery of this project, in the preconstruction and construction phases, is
the implementation of “Lean Construction” principles. Gilbane requires the Trade Contractor to
use the Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) techniques for planning and controlling work
on this project.
B. The APS requires team members to make and keep commitments based on their confidence that
prerequisite work, design information, materials, labor and equipment will be ready so they can
start and complete installations to meet Master Schedule milestones. The Trade Contractor’s
Superintendent/Foreman are required to participate together with all other related trade
contractors in pull plans for the each major phase of work on the project in which they will be
participating. Each pull plan will work towards creating the detailed expansion of the milestone
schedule included in the bid documents. This Milestone schedule is a guide for the intended
phasing and flow through the project. It is not intended to provide dates or durations for any
activity. Dates, durations, and all sequencing will be created through pull planning sessions
throughout the life of the project. Do not assume sequencing or handoffs prior to any pull
planning event, other than those specifically communicated in the bid documents. Final
sequencing and hand offs at all pull plan events will be agreed upon by all trade contractors and
the Gilbane project team to support the best interest of the project as a whole. The durations and
sequencing agreed upon at each pull plan will become a contractual obligations. At each pull
plan event, trade contractor superintendents/foremen structure the flow of work and outline the
network of commitments by identifying the hand-offs between trades. Each onsite superintendent
or lead foreman is considered a “Last Planner” in APS, and has the responsibility to plan their
activities six weeks ahead in a “Look-ahead Schedule” and to identify crew assignments for the
current and next week in a “Weekly Work Plan”. Last Planners are required to commit to
performing work that they know can be made ready for their crews and to refuse to assign work
they are not confident can be started and / or be completed because it is not ready.
C. Each Trade Contractor shall follow project 5S standards:
1. Sort - Identify needed materials from clutter/waste and removal of all materials that do
not belong on the work site.
2. Set in Order - Arrange the needed materials in an efficient manner to maximize
productivity and ease of use.
3. Shine – Clean work area, tools, and equipment regularly. It is easy to spot potential
hazards when something is out of place.
4. Standardize - Formalize standards and processes for work from activities taken place in
SORT, SET IN ORDER, and SHINE.
5. Sustain/Self Discipline - Ensure that the site continues to improve its 5s regiment,
conduct quality checks and walk-throughs
D. ADVANCED PLANNING & SCHEDULING PROCEDURES
1. Each onsite Superintendent / Foreman for each trade contractor shall have the latest
information about the status of contract issues, submittals and shop drawings, material
and equipment deliveries, RFIs and change orders, safety training, labor and construction
equipment availability.

New Parking Garage Advanced Planning & Scheduling January 3, 2017
2. Each Superintendent / Foreman has the ability to plan work for their respective company
and authority to make commitments to the project in order to execute this plan.
3. Each Superintendent / Foreman will participate in the phase scheduling meeting for each
phase in which their company is involved. Examples are Demolition, Foundations,
Superstructure, Exterior Envelop, Interior Construction, Finishes Specialties, MEPs, and
Earthwork.
4. Each Superintendent / Foreman will bring his / her Look-ahead Schedule and Weekly
Work Plan to the weekly planning meeting and actively participate in coordinating work
with other trade contractors under the direction of the Project Superintendent.
5. Each Superintendent / Foreman will report task completions as they occur to the Project
Superintendent as well as the other superintendent / foreman of the succeeding trade
contractors.
6. Each Superintendent / Foreman will track tasks completed as planned and report the
results along with reasons for failures in the weekly planning meeting. The complete
items of worked are measured a “Percent Plan Complete” or PPC.
7. Each Superintendent / Foreman will participate in a “trade contractor coordination”
meeting to coordinate work for the next day or week with other trade contractors.
8. Each coordination meeting can take place either daily or weekly depending the
complexity and stage of the project.
9. Roles and Responsibilities
a. Gilbane will be responsible to facilitate and administer the APS. Gilbane will
provide direction and coordination of the activities of the trade contractors,
collecting and approving trade contractor work plans, facilitating trade contractor
planning meetings and updating, maintaining and distributing APS forms to all
parties.
b. Trade Contractors shall include in their bid the necessary resources to implement
APS for the duration of the project.
c. Trade Contractors, by submitting a bid. are committed to the process. The Trade
Contractors’ Superintendent / Foreman shall make themselves available to plan
and direct the weekly work planning meetings.
10. Submittals
a. Trade Contractors shall document the process and provide the following reports
to Gilbane:
 Weekly copies of the work plans in the APS format.
b. Gilbane will document the process and publish the following reports:
 Monthly reports on PPC achieved per trade and/or by company and for
the overall project including Gilbane’s and the Owner’s performance.
 Gilbane will publish a quarterly variance report. The report will outline
why variances are occurring and recommendations to reduce future
variances.

1. Phase Scheduling – All Trade Contractors shall attend multiple pull planning sessions for a collaborative
approach to specify handoffs, project sequence, commitments, coordination and work flow. These
sessions will detail the milestone schedule and be issued as zero dollar amendments to all trade
contractors.
2. Look-ahead Planning – 6 Week Make Ready Schedules – At weekly Trade Contractor meetings, Trade
Contractors shall identify constraints, confirm procurement, and continuity of commitments.
3. Weekly Work Planning –Trade Contractors shall submit their two week look a-head schedule in order to
coordinate their work plan at the Trade Contractor meeting. At the weekly trade meeting, the handoffs
and sequence agreed upon at the pull plan sessions will be detailed into daily commitments.
4. Learning – At the weekly Trade Contractor meeting the planned percent complete (PPC) will be
measured against the weekly work plan.
5. Daily Planning and Commitment - Daily huddles are required for ALL foremen on the jobsite for 10
minutes. These huddles will confirm that the daily tasks were completed. If they were not completed, an
alternate plan for the next day will be discussed.

3.5 Ten percent (10%) of each payment shall be retained, at the discretion of the Construction Manager, unless
specific provisions to the contrary are indicated in the Contract Documents.

Owner's property free and clear from all mechanics' and materialmens' liens, construction liens, and all other liens as
well as any and all bond claimants, bond claims, or any other claims or actions, legal or equitable, arising out of the
Trade Contractor's work hereunder. In the event that any such lien, bond or other claim or action is asserted, threatened
or filed by anyone claiming by, through, or under the Trade Contractor, then the Trade Contractor shall remove and
discharge same, either by bonding or otherwise removing, paying or releasing same, within five (5) calendar days of the

direct payment or joint check payment to any of the Trade Contractor’s lower tier subcontractors, materialmen, laborers,
suppliers and/or lienors, and to automatically deduct such amounts from the Trade Contractor’s Contract Amount. Trade
Contractor hereby agrees to cooperate as necessary to facilitate such direct or joint check payments and will promptly
execute any and all documents reasonably requested by Construction Manager for that purpose. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, and unless a condition of the initial contract award, Construction Manager shall pay Trade Contractor’s lower
tier Subcontractor’s, materialmen, laborers, suppliers, and/or lienors directly only after (1) providing (14) day’s prior
written notice of intent to do so and (2) Trade Contractor fails to cure the condition that is the basis for such proposed
direct payment during the (14) day notice period.
3.9 The Trade Contractor further agrees that a material breach by Trade Contractor of any other Agreement between
Construction Manager and Trade Contractor, whether on the same or another project, shall constitute an absolute breach
under this Agreement, and Construction Manager shall have the right to assert any and all rights and remedies available
to Construction Manager under this Agreement or otherwise under the law or in equity. In the event of such a breach,
the Construction Manager shall also have the absolute right to apply any payments due to or retainage held for Trade
Contractor under this Agreement as a set-off to satisfy any unpaid expenses, costs, claims, or Damages as defined
herein, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by Construction Manager as a result of any such breach under any other
Agreement with Trade Contractor. Likewise, Construction Manager shall have the absolute right to apply any payments
due to or retainage held for Trade Contractor under any other agreement between Construction Manager and Trade
Contractor to satisfy any unpaid expenses, costs, claims, or Damages as defined herein, including attorneys’ fees,
incurred by Construction Manager as a result of Trade Contractor’s breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any genuine claims or disputes timely and properly submitted in good faith together with supporting backup
and documentation by the Trade Contractor in compliance with this Trade Contractor Agreement and the Contract
Documents, will not be considered a material breach.
3.10 The Construction Manager shall have the right, at Construction Manager’s sole discretion, to process all Trade
Contractor Payments, including all Progress Payments as well as the Final Payment, using the Textura System (“Textura
System”), which is an automated third party web-based system that operates as an Automated Clearing House for
electronic payments. Construction Manager may elect to withdraw or terminate use of the Textura Systems in its sole
discretion.
(a) The Trade Contractor shall submit payment documents (the “Payment Documents”) required herein for
Construction Manager’s review and acceptance by means of the Textura System. Such Payment Documents shall include,
but not necessarily be limited to the following: The Trade Contractor’s Progress and Final Applications for Payments,

Section 00 52 26.1
Manager, the Construction Documents or the Trade Contractor Agreement to process and issue such Trade Contractor
Progress or Final Payments (“Payment Documents”). All Payment Documents shall be on forms approved and accepted
by the Construction Manager. In the event that the Construction Manager rejects, disputes or requires changes to any
such Payment Documents, then in that event the Trade Contractor shall correct such Payment Documents so the
undisputed portion of the Progress or Final Payment may be processed and delivered to Trade Contractor.
(b) It is the intent of the parties that the Textura System shall be interpreted to be in harmony with the other
terms and conditions of the Trade Contractor Agreement, and not in lieu of such provisions, terms or conditions. The
Trade Contractor shall ensure for itself, and for all of those providing labor, services or materials under the Trade
Contractors Scope of work at any tier, that all fully comply and cooperate with the implementation and use of the
Textura System. The Trade Contractor shall promptly execute all documents necessary to register, enroll and use the
Textura System, and agrees to timely pay the applicable Textura fee as charged by Textura.
(c) The Trade Contractor expressly represents and warrants to the Construction Manager that it shall permit only
authorized representatives or agents of the Trade Contractor to use, access and issue Payment Documents through the
Textura System, and the Trade Contractor shall be fully responsible for protecting such access and use. The Construction
Manager shall have the right to rely on the truth and accuracy of any and all Payment Documents and actions of the
Trade Contractor relative to its access and use of the Textura System.
(d) The Construction Manager shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to withdraw or terminate the
implementation or use of the Textura System at any time. To withdraw or terminate the use of Textura System,
Construction Manager will notify the Trade Contractor of such election, and thereafter, all Progress Payments and the
Final Payment shall be processed and paid as set forth in the Trade Contractor Agreement without the use of the
Textura System.
(e) Nothing in this section shall be deemed to excuse, release, waive or otherwise change the Trade Contractor’s
obligations, duties or responsibilities pursuant to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Trade Contractor
Agreement. Notwithstanding the use or implementation of the Textura System, the Trade Contactor shall remain subject
to all of the Construction Manager’s rights and remedies at law or in equity, including but not limited to, any remedies
as set forth in the Trade Contractor Agreement.

Payment Bond on the bond forms issued with this Agreement. Bonds must be issued by a company acceptable to the
Construction Manager and must be accompanied by a Power of Attorney. The bonds are to be delivered with this
executed Agreement. The Trade Contractor’s Bond(s) shall name the Construction Manager as the Obligee, and the
costs of such Bond(s) are included in the Trade Contractor’s Contract Amount in this Agreement. Each Bond shall be in
an amount equal to the Trade Contractor’s Contract Amount in this Agreement. Such Bond(s) shall be issued by Surety,
if applicable, which shall maintain at least a minimum A.M. BEST RATING of A-, FSC VII, unless otherwise agreed by

timely issue Bond(s) on the forms attached as an exhibit to this Agreement, or failure of the Surety, if applicable, to
maintain the minimum A.M. BEST RATING of A-, FSC VII shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement.
6.2 If Performance and Payment Bonds are not required under this Agreement, as designated in Paragraph 6.1, the
Construction Manager, may, at its sole option, enroll Trade Contractor in the Construction Manager’s default insurance
program. If the Trade Contractor is enrolled into the Construction Manager’s default insurance program, the Trade

Section 00 52 26.1
Contractor is required to comply with the terms and conditions of the Construction Manager’s Trade Contractor
prequalification procedures which include in part allowing the Construction Manager to review the Trade Contractor’s
most current reviewed, compiled, or audited financial statement. Failure to comply with these terms and conditions may
be a basis to require the Trade Contractor to obtain Performance and Payment Bonds, under the terms and conditions
provided herein, within fifteen (15) calendar days of written notice from the Construction Manager. Failure to provide
Performance and Payment Bonds under this provision shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and a basis
for immediate termination of the Trade Contractor for cause.
6.3 Before the earlier of commencement of its work, entering the Project site (at any time), or ten (10) days after
signing the Trade Contract, Trade Contractor shall provide evidence that it has obtained the insurance required by this
Article as well as that which is legally required by any US federal or state laws as well as the laws of any other
jurisdiction(s) outside of the US where the work is performed. This insurance shall be placed with a company or
companies rated A-or better by A.M. Best and licensed to do business in the jurisdiction(s) in which the work is
performed. The insurance required in this Article shall be maintained continuously until final payment is made to Trade
Contractor for its work except that any commercial general liability, excess liability, pollution liability and professional
liability insurance required in this Article shall be further maintained continuously until the later of the period of the
statute of limitations or the statute of repose for the types of claims covered by the particular policy type. However, if
any professional or pollution liability insurance provided in accordance with this Article is provided on a project specific
basis, then coverage shall be placed until final payment is made to Trade Contractor and shall include an extended
reporting period for a term no less than the later of the period of the statute of repose or statute of limitations
applicable to Trade Contractor’s work after such final payment. Evidence of the insurance required in this Article shall
also be provided after final payment for the work before any time Trade Contractor enters the Project site or is
performing work for the Project. Any insurance required of Trade Contractor shall protect the Trade Contractor from
claims which may arise for which the Trade Contractor may be legally liable, whether such operations be by the Trade
Contractor or by a Trade Subcontractor or by anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or by anyone for
whose acts any of them may be liable. The insurance limits and types required in this Article are minimum
requirements (and are subject to any broader terms required by Owner) and are denominated in US Dollars.
Construction Manager reserves the right to consider any insurance not in compliance with this Article as a material
breach of contract. Any aggregate limits of insurance required must be reinstated if they are eroded at any time during
the period within which the insurance is required to be provided herein, such reinstatement costs shall not be a
reimbursable cost. Construction Manager reserves the right to require additional insurance types and coverage limits in
addition to what is required in this Article. If the Project is insured by a wrap-up insurance program, then Trade
Contractor should refer to the Project wrap-up manual (incorporated herein as a Contract Document) for any additional
or alternate insurance obligations. Trade Contractor shall require its subcontractors of all tiers to meet the same
insurance requirements as are required of it in this Agreement. However, unless determined otherwise by Construction
Manager, or specifically designated otherwise in this Article, these obligations do not pertain to the limits of liability
required to be provided by Trade Contractor. All insurance required of Trade Contractor in this Article shall be applicable
to the extent permitted by law.
It is solely Trade Contractor’s obligation to ensure that it provides the appropriate insurances required in the
jurisdiction(s) in which the work is being performed, and that it has included all relevant costs. Trade Contractor
waives any rights it has against Construction Manager for premiums, claims, penalties or other costs incurred as a
result of Trade Contractor’s failure to provide insurance required by law.

employer’s liability insurance in any jurisdiction(s) where the work is being performed. When the work is performed in

compensation insurance shall include a Voluntary Compensation Coverage Endorsement. When performing work in
Washington, North Dakota, Ohio, Wyoming, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands or Guam (collectively
“monopolistic states”), Trade Contractor shall provide evidence of “stop gap” insurance in addition to workers
compensation. Trade Contractor shall provide the insurance required in this Article whether or not Trade Contractor hires
all or none of its employees directly, uses temporary employees and/or uses other labor services. Trade Contractor shall
require any firm providing labor services to it to provide all of the same workers’ compensation and employer’s liability
coverages as are required of Trade Contractor in this Article. If Trade Contractor is leasing labor to Construction Manager,
then Trade Contractor shall attach the alternate employer endorsement to its workers compensation policy, and shall
schedule the Construction Manager and this Agreement on the form. The employers liability (or “stop gap” in
monopolistic states) coverage shall provide limits of not less than $500,000 bodily injury by accident per accident,
$500,000 bodily injury by disease policy limit, and $500,000 bodily injury by disease per employee. When performing
work on projects governed by federal law, Trade Contractor is solely responsible to ensure that it has reviewed
applicable federal laws including, but not limited to, any Defense Base Act (DBA), Longshore and Harbor Workers’

recent edition of the ISO CG 00 01 occurrence form. This insurance shall not exclude coverage for explosion, collapse
and underground hazards (the “XCU” hazards) and should include contractual liability coverage for bodily injury and

property damage arising out of premises-ongoing operations and products-completed operations without any limitation.
The CGL insurance shall include insured contract coverage including indemnity for damages or injuries to the Trade
Contractor’s employees(s) and shall not exclude any Additional Insured’s (“Additional Insured” as defined in 6.3(h))
claims pertaining to damages or injuries to the Trade Contractor’s employee(s). There shall not be any residential
limitations (or exclusions) or prior work exclusions unless approved in writing by Construction Manager’s risk manager.
If Trade Contractor’s work is to be performed within fifty (50) feet of any railroad property, or affecting any railroad
bridge or trestle, tracks, roadbeds, tunnel, underpass or crossing, then the most current version of endorsement ISO CG
24 17 (or its equivalent) shall be attached to the CGL. Furthermore, a separate owners and contractors protective,
railroad protective liability policy or other project specific policy shall be provided if required by the Contract
Documents. The CGL coverage limits shall not be less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, $1,000,000 personal and
advertising injury, $2,000,000 general aggregate, $2,000,000 products-completed operations aggregate and $5,000
medical expense. The general aggregate limit shall be on a per project basis.

or is subject to any other motor vehicle insurance law). Coverage shall be provided for any owned, non-owned or hired
vehicle. This insurance shall also include contractual liability coverage. If Trade Contractor will be hauling or
transporting any hazardous materials as defined in paragraph (f) below, then this insurance shall include the most
current version of the ISO CA 99 48 Broadened Pollution Liability Endorsement, or its equivalent, and the MCS-90 shall
be attached to the policy. If Contractor’s work is to be performed within fifty (50) feet of any railroad property or
affecting any bridge or trestle, tracks, roadbeds tunnels, underpass or crossing, then the most current version of ISO CA
20 70 (or its equivalent) shall be attached to the auto policy. The auto policy limits shall not be less than $1,000,000
combined single limit for each accident.
(d) Excess (or Umbrella) Liability. Trade Contractor shall provide occurrence-based follow-form excess (or
umbrella) liability insurance which shall provide coverage excess over its employer’s liability, CGL and BAP insurance.
The excess (or umbrella) coverage limits shall not be less than $5,000,000 each occurrence and $5,000,000 annual
aggregate. However, if Trade Contractor is using a crane as defined in OSHA 1926.1400 (a) then Trade Contractor shall
provide excess (or umbrella) liability coverage of at least $25,000,000 per occurrence/$25,000,000 in aggregate. Trade
Contractor agrees to adhere to any procedural guidelines required by Construction Manager with respect to evidencing
insurance coverage applicable to any crane including the operation of it.
(e) Professional Liability. Trade Contractor shall provide professional liability insurance if its scope of work
(including the scope of any of its subcontractors or subconsultants) includes providing professional services. If Trade

less than $1,000,000 each claim and $1,000,000 annual aggregate.
(f) Contractor’s Pollution Liability. Trade Contractor shall provide contractor’s pollution liability (“pollution

custodial care or educational occupancy, then the contractor’s pollution liability insurance shall include mold/fungus
liability coverage in the amount of the contractor’s pollution limits required herein. All insurance required in this
paragraph shall include coverage for bodily injury and property damage liability, defense costs, and clean-up costs and
shall provide non-owned off-site disposal coverage if hazardous or regulated materials will be transported to a disposal
site. The retroactive date on all pollution liability policies provided by Trade Contractor or any of its subcontractors shall
precede the start of any work. The pollution liability coverage shall have limits of not less than $5,000,000 each
occurrence and $5,000,000 annual aggregate.

Section 00 52 26.1
(g) Contractor’s Equipment; Property. Trade Contractor shall maintain property insurance coverage covering its
tools, equipment and other business or personal property, whether owned, rented or borrowed, the capital value of
which is not incorporated into the cost of the work. Trade Contractor agrees to adhere to any procedural guidelines
required by Construction Manager with respect to evidencing any property insurance coverage applicable to any crane (as
defined in 29 CFR 1926.1400(a)). In addition, to the extent that Trade Contractor carries any installation floater, transit
coverage, off-site insurance or other property insurance applicable to its work, such insurance shall include Construction
Manager and Owner as additional insureds with regard to their interests in the work. Such insurance shall be primary
insurance to Construction Manager and Owner without any contribution from any other property insurance, including
builder’s risk insurance, available to the Trade Contractor, Construction Manager and/or Owner.
(h) Additional Insured. For purposes of this Article “Additional Insureds” shall mean (i) the Construction Manager

(and its partners if Construction Manager is a joint venture or members if it is an LLC), (ii) Owner, (iii) both Owner and
Construction Manager’s officers, directors and employees, (iv) any person or entity requested by Construction Manager or
Owner and (v) and any other person or entity required to be added as an additional insured by the Contract Documents.
The Additional Insureds shall be named as additional insureds on Trade Contractor’s CGL, BAP, excess liability, umbrella
liability and contractor’s pollution liability insurance policies. Such additional insured coverage shall be provided on a
primary basis without contribution from any other insurance, including self-insurance, afforded to the Additional
Insureds, whether such coverage is issued on a primary or excess basis. Trade Contractor’s CGL, contractor’s pollution
liability, umbrella and excess liability insurance shall provide the Additional Insureds with coverage for actual or alleged
bodily injury, property damage and personal and advertising liability arising out of any premises-ongoing operations
and/or products-completed operations. Coverage for the Additional Insureds on Trade Contractor’s CGL insurance shall
be provided on any version of ISO forms CG 20 10 and CG 20 37, or their equivalent(s), unless an alternative is
approved by Construction Manager. Any CGL, excess liability, umbrella liability, and contractor's pollution liability
additional insured coverage required in this paragraph shall remain in effect after Construction Manager’s acceptance of
Trade Contractor’s work and from the date of such acceptance until the later of the period of the statute of limitations or
the statute of repose for the types of claims covered by the insurance to which the additional insured coverage applies.
If Trade Contractor’s policy limits are greater than the minimum limits of liability required in this Article for a type of
insurance, then the full extent of those policy limits shall also be available to the Additional Insureds. Any of Trade
Contractor’s excess or umbrella liability policies shall be expressly endorsed to state that coverage for the Additional
Insureds is primary and that the insurer will not seek contribution from any other insurance available to the Additional
Insured.
(i) Self-Insured Retentions (SIR’s); Deductibles. Any costs not covered due to self-insured retentions (“SIR’s”)
or deductibles applicable to any insurance required of Trade Contractor by this Trade Contract Agreement are the sole
responsibility of the Trade Contractor. Any SIR in excess of $250,000 must be approved by Construction Manager. Trade
Contractor shall be considered a self-insurer with respect to its additional insured obligations under paragraph (h) for
any self-insured retention or deductible applied by its insurer to any of the Additional Insureds.
(j) Certificates of Insurance. Trade Contractor shall evidence its compliance with the insurance obligations in the
Contract Documents through the issuance of certificates of insurance to Construction Manager. The description of
operations section of these certificates shall state the additional insured and waiver of subrogation coverage being
provided. All certificates provided to Construction Manager shall include evidence of (1) any self-insured retentions and
(2) project name and number. In addition, all CGL certificates shall include as an attachment a hard copy of any
compliant documentation which evidences the additional insured endorsement coverage required in paragraph (h)
above. Construction Manager’s acceptance of any certificate of insurance or coverage provision in no way waives
Construction Manager’s right to later assert that Trade Contractor did not provide insurance in conformance with the
Contract Documents. If Trade Contractor fails to comply with its insurance obligations under the Contract Documents,
then Construction Manager may withhold monthly progress payments. Construction Manager may obtain such insurance
for Trade Contractor and pay the premiums thereon. Trade Contractor shall repay Construction Manager on demand for
any such premium costs incurred by Construction Manager to secure coverage on Trade Contractor’s behalf, or
Construction Manager may deduct the amount of such premiums from any sums that are due, or may become due, to
Trade Contractor. Construction Manager has no obligation to obtain such insurance for Trade Contractor, and
Construction Manager’s failure to do so shall in no way relieve Trade Contractor of its obligations. Upon request, Trade
Contractor shall provide Construction Manager with any certificate of insurance, coverage provision or certified copy of
any insurance policy applicable to coverage required of Trade Contractor in the Contract Documents. Trade Contractor
shall endorse its policies to provide a minimum of 30 days cancelation notice to Construction Manager. Evidence of the
insurance required in this Article shall also be provided any time after the work is completed but Trade Contractor has
re-entered the Project site.
(k) Waiver. Trade Contractor agrees to waive any right of action against Construction Manager (and its partners if
CM is a joint venture or its members if an LLC), Owner, and any others required to be provided a waiver by the Contract
Documents (collectively the “Waiver Parties”) for recovery of loss and/or damages to the extent covered, or that should
have been covered, by the insurance required of Trade Contractor in the Contract Documents or any other insurance
provided by Trade Contractor which is applicable to the Project. Such waivers shall be provided by specific endorsement
if the policy itself does not otherwise provide the required language.
ARTICLE 7
WARRANTY

Section 00 52 26.1
7.1 In addition to any other warranty or guarantee as required by the Contract Documents or this Agreement, the
Trade Contractor agrees to promptly make good, without cost to the Owner or Construction Manager, any and all defects,
due to faulty workmanship and/or materials, which may appear within the guarantee or warranty period so established
in the Contract Documents. If no such period be stipulated in the Contract Documents, then such guarantee shall be for
a period of one (1) year from date of substantial completion, acceptance, and final payment of the work by the Owner.
The Trade Contractor further agrees to provide any and all guarantees as required by the terms of the Contract
Documents, as a condition precedent to final payment.
7.2 To the extent of Trade Contractor’s work, the Trade Contractor shall extend to Construction Manager the same
warranties and guarantees that the Construction Manager may be obligated to extend to the Owner or others by the
Contract Documents.
7.3 In the event the Project or Trade Contractor’s work involves the construction of a condominium, then to the
extent of the Trade Contractor’s work, the Trade Contractor shall extend to Construction Manager the same warranties
and guarantees which the Construction Manager is obligated or required to extend to any person(s), company,
corporation, partnership, developer, limited liability company, business entity, condominium association, or any owner by
any applicable rule, code, ordinance or law. The Trade Contractor shall further extend directly to any person(s), company,
corporation, partnership, developer, limited liability company, business entity, condominium association, or any owner all
warranties, guarantees, or protections as may be required by any applicable rule, code, ordinance, requirement or law.
ARTICLE 8
CHANGES IN THE WORK
8.1 The Trade Contractor may be ordered in writing by the Construction Manager, without invalidating this
Agreement, to make changes in the work within the general scope of this Agreement. These changes may consist of
additions, deletions, or other revisions, the contract sum and the contract time being adjusted accordingly. The Trade
Contractor, prior to the commencement of such changed or revised work, shall submit promptly to the Construction
Manager written copies of any claim for adjustment to the contract sum and contract time for such revised work in a
manner consistent with the Contract Documents and this Agreement.
8.2 Where changes in the work involve both additions and deletions, percentages for overhead and profit shall be
applied to the net increase only of such values for construction labor, equipment and materials.
8.3 The amount to be paid by the Construction Manager for changes in the work, as outlined in paragraph 8.1
above, shall be made on the basis of one of the following methods:
(a) by mutual acceptance of a lump sum properly itemized and supported by sufficient substantiating data to
permit evaluation and agreed upon by the Construction Manager and the Trade Contractor, or
(b) by unit prices stated in the Contract Documents, or
(c) if no such unit prices are set forth and if the parties cannot agree upon a lump sum, then by actual net cost in
money to the Trade Contractor of materials and labor (including insurance and applicable taxes) required, plus rental of
plant equipment (other than small tools and small equipment) plus compensation for overhead and for profit as noted in
Article 12. Field overhead will not be considered as part of actual net cost, or
(d) by the method provided in subparagraph 8.4.
8.4 If none of the above methods set forth in clauses 8.3 (a), 8.3 (b), 8.3 (c) is agreed upon, the Trade Contractor,
provided he/she receives a written order signed by the Construction Manager shall promptly proceed with the work
involved. The cost of such work shall be determined by the Construction Manager on the basis of reasonable
expenditures and savings of those performing the work attributable to the change, including, in the case of an increase
in the contract sum, a reasonable allowance for overhead and profit. In such case, and also under clauses 8.3 (c) and
8.3 (d) above, the Trade Contractor shall keep and present, in such form as the Construction Manager may prescribe, an
itemized accounting together with appropriate supporting data for inclusion in a change order. Unless otherwise
provided in the Contract Documents or this Agreement, cost shall be limited to the following: cost of materials
including sales tax and cost of delivery, cost of construction labor including social security, old age and unemployment
insurance and fringe benefits required by Agreement or custom; workers or workmen's compensation insurance; bond
premiums; rental value of equipment and machinery; and the additional costs of supervision and field office personnel
directly attributable to the change. Pending final determination of cost, payments, on account shall be made as
determined by the Construction Manager. The amount of credit to be allowed by the Trade Contractor for any deletion or
change which results in a net decrease in the contract sum will be the amount of the actual net cost as confirmed by
the Construction Manager. When both additions and credits covering related work or substitutions are involved in any
one change, the allowance for overhead and profit shall be figured on the basis of the net increase, if any with respect
to that change.
8.5 Construction Manager's Audit. Construction Manager's duly authorized representative shall have access, at all

Section 00 52 26.1
reasonable times, to all Trade Contractor's personnel, books, records, correspondence, instructions, plans, drawings,
receipts, vouchers and memoranda of every description pertaining to change for the purpose of auditing and verifying
Trade Contractor's net cost of change or for any other reasonable purpose. Construction Manager's representative shall
have the right to reproduce any of the aforesaid documents. Trade Contractor shall preserve, and shall cause its
Subcontractors to preserve all the aforesaid documents for a period of two years after the completion and acceptance or
termination of work or such longer time as may be required by the Contract Documents or applicable law.
8.6 For work performed by a Trade-Subcontractor, the Trade Contractor will be allowed to add five percent (5%) only
and said Trade-Subcontractor mark-up shall not exceed the agreed upon percentages noted in Article 12 for overhead
and profit.
8.7 Notwithstanding any other provision to this Agreement, Construction Manager shall not be liable for any extra
work unless and until and as a condition precedent, the Construction Manager has issued a written Change Order or
written authorization for such work by an authorized representative. In the event the Trade Contractor performs any
such work without such an issued Change Order or written authorization by an authorized representative of the
Construction Manager, then such conduct by the Trade Contractor shall be deemed to mean such work will not alter or
change the Contract Amount in this Agreement. In case of disagreement where no price adjustment or time adjustment
can be agreed upon by the parties, the Trade Contractor shall timely and diligently proceed with such work as directed
by the Construction Manager pursuant to such a written authorization or written Change Order pending the
determination of the amount of the adjustment pursuant to the above provisions. The Trade Contractor expressly agrees
that the Construction Manager’s Superintendent and other project personnel other than Construction Manager’s Project
Executive, Project Manager or Chief Purchasing Agent in accordance with the current Gilbane Document Signing Authority
policy shall have no authority to alter, amend or modify this Agreement or issue such a Change Order or written
authorization without express written authorization from the Construction Manager’s Project Executive. The Project
Executive, Project Manager or Chief Purchasing Agent in accordance with the current Gilbane Document Signing Authority
policy for the Construction Manager shall have authority to issue Trade Contractor a written Change Order or written
authorization for such changes in the work, price, scope or time. Further, the Trade Contractor agrees and acknowledges
that no extra, changes or modification to the work, price, scope or time shall be valid or enforceable unless and until
issued in writing and signed by the Project Executive, Project Manager or Chief Purchasing Agent in accordance with the
current Gilbane Document Signing Authority policy of the Construction Manager.

specified is an infringement of a patent, intellectual or property right. In the event the Trade Contractor has reason to
believe or should have known that a design, process or product specified is or may be an infringement of a patent,

attorneys’ fees, unless Trade Contractor first provided prompt written notice of all such information to the Construction
Manager.

remedies under this Agreement in addition to those available at law or in equity, or both, including without prejudice to
any other remedy, the following contractual remedies:
(a) Investigate the cause of such breach or failure and correct same in any way or manner whatsoever, including,
but not without limitation to, the supplementation of Trade Contractor’s forces, and deduct all such corrective costs,
expenses, losses, delay damages, and any other Damages as provided in this Agreement from Trade Contractor’s
Contract Amount; and/or
(b) Take charge of and complete the performance of this Agreement and the Trade Contractor’s work without

Damages; losses; costs; expenses; incidental damages; consequential damages; indirect damages; completion
damages; correction damages; remediation damages; clean up costs; repairs; delay damages, including but not limited
to liquidated damages; extended field office overhead, extended home office overhead; additional field condition costs;
additional supervision; as well as all attorneys’ fees (including but not limited to the costs of the Construction
Manager’s in-house counsel), and such other damages or remedies as may be available in this Agreement, at law or in
equity (herein collectively referred to as “Damages”). In the circumstances where Construction Manager has undertaken
any involvement in the repair, correction, or completion of Trade Contractor’s work, then in addition to the above and to
the extent not inconsistent with the Contract Documents, the Construction Manager’s contract damages shall also be
deemed to include actual administrative overhead costs in an amount not less than those percentages for overhead &
profit stated in Article 12.1 herein.
9.4.2 In addition to Construction Manager’s rights of set-off provided in Article 3.9 above, in the event the Trade
Contractor’s unpaid Contract Balance is not sufficient to fully pay for all such Damages, then in that event, Trade
Contractor, and its Surety, if applicable, shall promptly pay Construction Manager for any deficiency so that all such
Damages are fully paid.
9.4.3 In the event that a Termination for Cause is not upheld by a properly empowered judicial or arbitral authority,
then the Termination for Cause shall be deemed a Termination for Convenience and construed under Section 9.4.4
hereof.
9.4.4 Notwithstanding the above paragraph, the Construction Manager reserves the right to terminate this Agreement
for its convenience upon written notice to the Trade Contractor. In such instance the Trade Contractor will be paid its
share of the Contract Amount proportionate to the percentage of its work completed and other reasonable cancellation
costs incurred as a result of said termination. No payments shall be made for anticipated overhead and profit. Prior to
making any payments under this clause, the Construction Manager shall have the right to audit the records of the Trade
Contractor.
9.5 The Trade Contractor agrees to adhere to the federal occupational safety act, state and local safety regulations

Section 00 52 26.1
and the Construction Manager's safety and health program so as to avoid injury or damage to persons or property, and
to be directly responsible for damage to persons and property resulting from failure to do so.
9.6 In the event the Trade Contractor after a twenty-four (24) hour written notice from the Construction Manager,
fails to take corrective action to insure compliance with said safety regulations or removal of rubbish and debris
resulting from his work, the Construction Manager shall undertake these obligations and charge the cost of same to the
Trade Contractor's account without further notice to the Trade Contractor.
9.7 The Trade Contractor agrees to immediately notify the Construction Manager's representative on the jobsite of
any accident, injury or damage to any persons or property on the Project site or related to the Project, and shall
promptly provide the Construction Manager's representative a complete copy of all accident reports, photographs and
videotapes and other documentation related to such accident in forms acceptable or requested by the Construction
Manager. All such reports shall be signed by the Trade Contractor or his authorized representative, and shall be
submitted to the Construction Manager no later than five (5) calendar days from the date of such occurrence.
9.8 The Trade Contractor shall procure its materials from such sources, and employ such labor subject to contract
terms and conditions in order to ensure harmonious labor relations on the site and prevent strikes or labor disputes by
its employees or other trade employees. The Trade Contractor, in the event of a labor dispute including but not limited
to strikes, shall take whatever action is required in order to prevent the disruption, delay, interruption, or adverse
impact of any trade contractor’s work on the Project site.
9.9 The Trade Contractor will not assign this Agreement, nor any moneys due or to become due under this
Agreement, nor any Damages, claims, suits, rights or interests under this Agreement, nor sublet the whole or any part
of the work to be performed hereunder, without the prior written consent of the Construction Manager. In the event the
Trade Contractor has failed to secure such prior written consent of the Construction Manager, then any such assignment
or delegation of performance shall be deemed invalid, void and unenforceable. Further, the Trade Contractor shall not
sell, change, assign, escrow, or transfer, directly or indirectly, any ownership, stock, membership or control of the Trade
Contactor greater than a ten percent (10%) cumulative interest during the duration of the Project, without the prior
written consent of the Construction Manager. Any violation of this section shall be a material breach of this Agreement.
In the event that Construction Manager provides such consent, a Trade-Subcontractor or any other assignee hereunder
shall strictly comply with all the requirements of this Agreement, and further Trade Contractor shall also remain fully
liable for the Trade-Subcontractor’s or other assignee’s obligations under this Agreement, unless otherwise released in
writing by Construction Manager.
9.10 The Trade Contractor agrees that all disputes concerning the jurisdiction of trades shall be adjusted in
accordance with any plan for the settlement of jurisdictional disputes which may be in effect either nationally or in the
locality in which the work is being done. The Trade Contractor shall be bound by, and shall abide by, all such
adjustments and settlements of jurisdictional disputes, whether or not the Trade Contractor is signature bound by the
Agreement establishing the impartial jurisdictional disputes board and/or its successors. The Trade Contractor agrees
not to cause a work stoppage due to the jurisdictional assignment of work.
9.11 The Trade Contractor shall submit to the Construction Manager upon request, copies of orders placed for the
various materials required for the Project or authentic stock lists if such material is normally a stock item. Order copies
need not reflect prices but should indicate type of material, quantity, vendor name, and address, etc. The Trade
Contractor shall be required to submit to the Construction Manager a monthly material status report, or more often if
required by the Construction Manager, as a prerequisite for the monthly progress payment. The Trade Contractor shall
notify the Construction Manager immediately upon learning of a change of status of any material, equipment, or
supplies.
9.12 The Trade Contractor shall continuously and adequately protect all work from damage due to his Work and will
immediately replace or pay for the replacement of all damaged work at its own expense and cost.
9.13 The Trade Contractor agrees to maintain experienced and skilled workers and the necessary materials, supplies,
tools and equipment to meet the requirements of this contract and to maintain the Construction Manager’s Schedule.
The Trade Contractor shall carry on its work promptly and efficiently and at a speed that will not cause any delay. In the
event the Trade Contractor falls behind in the progress of his work, in the sole judgment of the Construction Manager,
then the Trade Contractor agrees to take such steps as are necessary, in the judgment of the Construction Manager, to
improve the rate of progress of Trade Contractor’s work to comply with the requirements of this Agreement, including but
not limited to, increasing the skill and supervision of its workers, working sufficient overtime hours, adding shifts of its
workforce, working additional days, and/or increasing its workforce to meet such schedules, milestones and
requirements of this Agreement at no extra cost to the Construction Manager or Owner. In addition, if requested by the
Construction Manager, the Trade Contractor shall promptly, and within forty eight (48) hours of such request, provide to
the Construction Manager for approval a remediation schedule demonstrating the manner in which the required rate of
progress will be attained by Trade Contractor. Failure of the Trade Contractor to immediately comply with this paragraph,
the Construction Manager’s scheduling requests, its approved remediation schedule, or to improve the rate of progress
as requested by the Construction Manager, shall be a material breach of this Agreement. The Construction Manager shall
be entitled to all damages, costs, losses, incidental and consequential damages, overhead, supervision, field office
overhead, time driven damages, and other Damages as more particularly set forth in other provisions of this Agreement,

Section 00 52 26.1
plus any damages suffered or asserted by the Owner or Architect whether under a liquidated damage provision or
otherwise. Construction Manager shall further have the right to set-off, at its discretion, any such Damages or
assessments from any amounts or sums that are unpaid to Trade Contractor under this Agreement or any other
agreement between Construction Manager and Trade Contractor (whether for this Project or another project). Permitting
the Trade Contractor to continue performance after breach of this or any other provision of this Agreement shall not be
deemed a waiver, release or discharge of any right, claim, interest or remedy against the Trade Contractor.
9.13.1 It is expressly agreed that time is of the essence of this Agreement, and that the payment of the consideration
herein expressed to be paid by Construction Manager is executory and strictly conditioned upon timely completion of
Trade Contractor’s Work and proper performance of Trade Contractor’s obligations under this Agreement. Unless
otherwise agreed by Trade Contractor and Construction Manager, Trade Contractor shall bear the risk of loss of any of
Trade Contractor’s work (including property intended to become a part of its work) and shall insure it on a 100%
replacement cost basis, until such work or property is delivered to the project site.
9.14 The Trade Contractor agrees to employ competent administrative, supervisory, and field personnel to accomplish
the work, including layout, engineering, preparation and checking of shop drawings. If required, the Trade Contractor
shall substantiate this employment of competent personnel to the Construction Manager's satisfaction before initiating
any work.
9.15 The Trade Contractor shall insure that all construction tools, equipment, temporary facilities, and other items
used in accomplishing the work, whether purchased, rented, or otherwise provided by the Trade Contractor or provided
by others, are in a safe, sound, and good condition, must be capable of performing the functions for which they are
intended and must be maintained in conformance with applicable laws and regulations.
9.16 The Construction Manager shall not be liable to the Trade Contractor for any delay, loss of efficiency,
interruption, disruption, loss of productivity or the like (herein “delay”) as a result of or arising from: (1) fire, weather,
flood, wind, lightning, storm, earthquake, rain, acts of God or other causalities whether by man or nature; (2) any act,
neglect or fault of the Owner, Architect, Engineer, or any of their representative, agents, employees, independent
contractors or trade contractors; (3) any changes in the work; (4) any delay in transportation or availability of any
materials involved in the Project; (5) any labor disputes, strikes, riots, or other labor issues; (6) any act of terrorism or
threats of terrorism; or (7) any other causes beyond the Trade Contractor’s control.
9.16.1 Trade Contractor’s sole and exclusive remedy in such event shall be a reasonable, but uncompensated, extension
of time as determined by the Construction Manager and Owner for Trade Contractor to complete its work pursuant to
this Agreement. As a strict condition precedent to Trade Contractor’s claim for such an extension of time, the Trade
Contractor shall within seventy-two (72) hours of the beginning of such event serve the Construction Manager with a
written Request for Extension of Time including Notice of the specific event that is the basis for such an extension of
time. In the event the Trade Contractor fails to timely and properly serve the Construction Manager with such written
Request and Notice, then the Trade Contractor shall have waived any entitlement to an extension and shall have waived
any remedy. In the event Trade Contractor is entitled to an extension of time, the Trade Contractor shall under no
circumstances be entitled to any additional compensation, payment, damage, or other remedy. The extension of time
shall be the Trade Contractor’s sole and exclusive remedy.
9.17 Right-To-Know Laws. Each Trade Contractor is required to implement the provisions of the right-to-know law, if
any, as enacted by the state in which the work is being performed. Before using on site any material listed in the right-
to-know substance list, each Trade Contractor will furnish the Construction Manager a copy of the material safety data
sheet for that substance.
9.18 In the event the Trade Contractor employs independent contractors, as well as payroll labor, to discharge its
obligations hereunder, the Trade Contractor acknowledges and understands that it does so at its own risk and that
federal, state and/or local agencies may dispute the independent contractor status and assess penalties, fines, and
costs should there be a determination to reclassify such workers. In that event, the Trade Contractor agrees that it will
defend, indemnify and hold the Construction Manager and the Owner harmless from any fines, costs, Damages,
penalties, attorneys’ fees, and causes of action, including without limitation, personal injury or property damage, arising
out of or relating in any way to such a determination.
9.19 TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE TRADE CONTRACTOR HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO WHICH THE TRADE CONTRACTOR MAY BE A PARTY ARISING OUT OF
OR IN ANY WAY PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ENFORCEMENT THEREOF. IT IS AGREED AND
UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OF ALL CLAIMS AGAINST ALL
PARTIES TO SUCH ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS, INCLUDING CLAIMS AGAINST PARTIES WHO ARE NOT PARTIES
TO THIS AGREEMENT. THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY THE TRADE
CONTRACTOR AND THE TRADE CONTRACTOR HEREBY REPRESENTS THAT NO REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT OR
OPINION HAVE BEEN MADE BY ANY INDIVIDUAL TO INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR TO IN ANY
WAY MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS EFFECT. THE TRADE CONTRACTOR FURTHER REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS HAD
THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS WAIVER WITH INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL. NOTWITHSTANDING
THE FOREGOING, IN THE EVENT ANY LITIGATION HEREUNDER INCLUDES THE OWNER AS A THIRD PARTY

returned or suitably accounted for to the Architect/Engineer on request at the completion of the
Work. Submission or distribution to meet official regulatory requirements or for other purposes in
connection with the Project is not to be construed as publication in derogation of the

the Owner and Construction Manager and is referred to throughout the Contract Documents as if
singular in number and masculine in gender. The term Architect/Engineer means the
Architect/Engineer or his authorized representative.
5.1.3 Nothing contained in the Contract Documents shall create any contractual relationship between the
Architect/Engineer and any Trade Contractor.
5.2 ARCHITECT/ENGINEER'S DUTIES DURING CONSTRUCTION
5.2.1 The Architect/Engineer will be the interpreter of the requirements of the Drawings and
Specifications. The Architect/Engineer will, within a reasonable time, render such interpretations as
are necessary for the proper execution of the progress of the Work.
5.2.2 The Architect/Engineer shall interpret the requirements of the Contract Documents to determine the
entitlement of change orders and he shall decide all other questions of design intent in connection
with the Work.
5.2.3 The Architect/Engineer will recommend suspension of the Work whenever such suspension may be
necessary to ensure proper execution of the Work.

5.2.4 All interpretations of the Architect/Engineer shall be consistent with the intent of and reasonably
inferable from the Contract Documents and will be in writing or in the form of drawings or sketches.
All requests for interpretations shall be directed through the Construction Manager.
5.2.5 It shall be the responsibility of the Architect/Engineer to make interpretations and render opinions in
regard to all claims of the Owner or Construction Manager involving questions of interpretation of

mutually agree that the Trade Contractor and/or the Construction Manager shall proceed otherwise.
5.2.7 The Architect/Engineer's decision in matters relating to artistic effect will be final if consistent with
the intent of the Contract Documents.
5.2.8 The Architect/Engineer will have authority to reject Work, which does not conform to the Contract

with the intent of the Contract Documents, he will have authority to require special inspection or
testing of the Work in accordance with Subparagraph 24.2 whether or not such Work has been
fabricated, installed or completed. However, neither the Architect/Engineer's authority to act under
this Subparagraph nor any decision made by him in good faith either to exercise or not to exercise
such authority, shall give rise to any duty or responsibility of the Architect/Engineer to the Trade
Contractor, any Trade-Subcontractor, any of their agents or employees, or any other person
performing any of the Work. The absence of the Architect/Engineer from exercising such authority
does not relieve the Trade Contractor from their responsibility.
5.2.9 The Architect/Engineer will be the judge of the performance of the Work and will use his powers
under the Contract Documents to enforce the Trade Contractor’s performance. The
Architect/Engineer will determine the quantity, quality, acceptability and fitness of all or part of the
Work.
5.2.10 The Architect/Engineer will review and approve or take other appropriate action upon Trade
Contractor's submittals such as Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples, and RFI’s but only for
conformance with the design intent of the Work and with the information given in the Contract
Documents. Such action shall be taken with reasonable promptness so as to cause no delay. The
Architect/Engineer's approval of a specific item shall not indicate approval of an assembly of which
the item is a component.
5.2.11 The Architect/Engineer along with the Construction Manager will conduct inspections to determine
the dates of Substantial Completion and Final Completion, and will receive written warranties and
related documents required by the Contract and assembled by the Trade Contractor.

create a joint obligation on the Owner and Construction Manager to the Trade Contractor. The
contract obligation with the Trade Contractor is solely with the person or entity with whom he has
his Agreement.
7.1.3 The Construction Manager shall call for meetings of the Trade Contractors, Trade-Subcontractors,
and material suppliers as he deems necessary for the proper coordination of the work. Such
meetings shall be held at the jobsite on regular working days during regular working hours. Unless
otherwise directed by the Construction Manager, attendance shall be mandatory for all parties
notified.
7.1.4 In the Contract Documents, the word "Contractor" or “Subcontractor” shall mean and shall be
interpreted as being the "Trade Contractor" whose "scope of work" includes that portion of the
Work.
In these General Conditions the word "Contractor", “Subcontractor”, and/or "Trade Contractor"
shall mean and shall be interpreted as being "individually, each and every Trade Contractor".
7.2 REVIEW OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
7.2.1 The Trade Contractor shall carefully study and compare the Contract Documents and shall at once
report to the Construction Manager any error, inconsistency or omission he may discover. The
Trade Contractor shall not be liable to the Owner, Construction Manager, or Architect/Engineer for
any damage resulting from any error, inconsistency or omission, unless the Trade Contractor
proceeds with such work knowing of the error, inconsistency, or omission.

7.2.2 It is not the Trade Contractor’s responsibility to ascertain that the Contract Documents are in
accordance with applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, building codes, and rules and regulations.
However, if the Trade Contractor observes that portions of the Contract Documents are at variance
therewith, the Trade Contractor shall promptly notify the Construction Manager in writing, and
necessary changes shall be accomplished by appropriate modification. If the Trade Contractor
performs any Work knowing it to be contrary to such laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, and
without such notice to the Construction Manager, he shall assume full responsibility therefore and
shall bear all costs attributable thereto.
7.2.3 At the completion of the project and as a prerequisite to release retainage, each Trade Contractor
shall submit a letter of compliance. This compliance letter shall state that all work has been
completed in accordance with the contract documents, that the installation has been performed in
accordance with all applicable codes, and that all fire resistance characteristics, as required by the
Fire Department, have been met. This letter must be signed by an officer of the company.
7.3 SUPERVISION AND CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES
7.3.1 The Trade Contractor shall supervise and direct the Work, using his best skill and attention. He
shall be solely responsible for all construction means, methods, techniques, sequences and
procedures and for coordinating all portions of the Work under the Trade Contract subject to the
overall coordination of the Construction Manager.
7.3.2 The Trade Contractor shall be responsible to the Owner and the Construction Manager for the acts
and omissions of his employees and all his Trade Subcontractors and their agents and employees
and other persons performing any of the Work under a contract with the Trade Contractor.
7.3.3 Observations, inspections, tests or approvals by persons other than the Trade Contractor shall not
relieve the Trade Contractor from his obligations to perform the Work in accordance with the
Contract Documents.
7.3.4 The Trade Contractor shall do and be responsible for the correct laying out of the Work as per
Contract Documents from control established by others including all necessary leveling and
checking. The Trade Contractors shall periodically check the established base lines and bench
marks, and shall lay out all partition lines and other significant reference lines or points which will
enable them to accurately place their boxes, openings, sleeves, conduits, pipe, duct, controls,
hangers, inserts and other devices. Trade Contractors shall be responsible for laying out their Work
from these reference points. The Trade Contractor shall also make all field measurements required
for the work.
7.3.5 This Trade Contractor and all their Sub-Trade Contractors shall obtain all permits and provide copies
to the Construction Manager, pay all fees, give notice, file plans and licenses, and arrange for
testing, inspection and approvals as it relates to your work, such that the work of other trades can
progress in a continuous manner. Provide any additional valving or other provisions required to
accomplish above whether indicated or not. Please note that only the General Building Permit will
be provided by others.
7.4 LABOR AND MATERIALS
7.4.1 The Trade Contractor shall at all times enforce strict discipline and good order among his employees
and shall not employ on the Work any unfit person or anyone not skilled in the task assigned to him.

Harassment and offensive language will not be permitted on the grounds. Violation will be cause
for immediate debarment from the site. Workers shall be courteous and professional in mannerisms
while on the premises
7.4.2 The Trade Contractor shall accept delivery, unload, store, protect, provide security, distribute, install
and clean any materials, systems and equipment furnished by others, which are a part of the Work.

in the Contract Documents shall be subject to the terms of this Article at a minimum during the first
year of the life of such special guarantee.
8.11 Nothing contained in this Article shall be construed to establish a period of limitation with respect to
any other obligation which the Trade Contractor might have under the Contract Documents.
8.12 In the event the Work of the Trade Contractor is to be modified by another Trade Contractor, either
before or after inspection, the first Trade Contractor shall remain responsible in all respects under
the warranty given in Article 8 and under any other warranties provided in the General Conditions
or by law. However, the first Trade Contractor shall not be responsible for any defects in material
or workmanship introduced by the Trade Contractor modifying its work. Both the first Trade
Contractor and the Trade Contractor making the modifications shall each be responsible solely for
the work done by each. The Trade Contractor modifying the earlier work shall be responsible for
any damage to or defect introduced into the Work, which it is modifying.
ARTICLE 9 - TAXES
9.1 The Trade Contractor shall pay all sales, consumer, use and other similar taxes for the Work or
portions thereof furnished or provided by the Trade Contractor which are legally required at the time
bids or proposals are received, whether or not yet effective. Such taxes are included in the Trade
Contract Sum.

9.2 Any taxes which are the responsibility of the Trade Contractor, but are not paid by the Trade
Contractor, and which are subsequently assessed against and paid by either the Owner or the
Construction Manager shall be deducted by the Construction Manager as an offset from the unpaid
Trade Contract Sum and any other amounts due to the Trade Contractor. If the amount of such
unpaid taxes exceeds the total of the unpaid Trade Contract Sum and other amounts due to the Trade
Contractor, the Trade Contractor agrees to pay the amount of such excess to the Construction
Manager.
9.3 Certain states require that bonds be furnished by foreign contractors to assure payment of state
taxes, etc.. Providing such bonds and the cost thereof are included by the Trade Contractor in the
Trade Contract Sum.
ARTICLE 10 - ALLOWANCES
10.1 The Trade Contractor shall include in the Contract Sum all allowances stated in the Contract
Documents. Items covered by these allowances shall be supplied for such amounts and by such
persons as the Construction Manager may direct, but the Trade Contractor will not be required to
employ persons against whom he makes a reasonable objection.
10.2 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents:
10.2.1 These allowances shall cover the cost to the Trade Contractor, less applicable trade discount, of the
materials and equipment required by the allowance delivered at the site, and all applicable taxes,
unloading, handling, labor, installation costs and other expenses contemplated for the original
allowance.
10.2.2 The Trade Contractor's costs for overhead and profit attributable to the allowance shall be included
in the Trade Contract Sum and in the allowance amount.
10.2.3 Whenever the cost is more than or less than the allowance amount, the Trade Contract Sum shall be
adjusted accordingly by Change Order. It is specifically understood that all unspent portions of
allowance amounts will be subtracted from the Trade Contract Sum by Change Order.
10.2.4 These allowances are only to be used where specifically authorized in advance and in writing by the
Construction Manager. Costs charged against these allowances will be determined based upon a
lump sum, unit price, or actual time and material costs as directed by the Construction Manager.
ARTICLE 11 - SUPERINTENDENT AND KEY PERSONNEL
11.1 The Trade Contractor shall employ a competent superintendent and necessary assistants to
coordinate all the Trade Contractor’s work force including Trade Subcontractors, who shall be in
attendance at the Project site during the progress of the Work. The superintendent shall be
satisfactory to the Construction Manager, and shall not be changed except with the consent of the
Construction Manager, unless the superintendent proves to be unsatisfactory to the Trade Contractor
or ceases to be in his employ. The superintendent shall represent the Trade Contractor and all
communications given to the superintendent shall be as binding as if given to the Trade Contractor
and has the authority to make commitments on behalf of the Trade Contractor with regard to cost,
schedule and manpower issues. All communications shall be confirmed in writing upon request.

communication from the Owner or Construction Manager on a 24-hour basis, seven days a week
during the performance of the work.
11.3 The Trade Contractor shall identify the key personnel he intends to assign to the project, to the
Construction Manager within 48 hours after the Trade Contractor has been notified to proceed. The
Construction Manager reserves the right to approve the Trade Contractor's proposed personnel, and
anyone not so approved shall be immediately replaced by someone acceptable. If, in the course of
construction, the Construction Manager feels that it would be in his best interest to request a change
in the Trade Contractor's personnel, he may do so; and the Trade Contractor shall immediately
assign an acceptable replacement at no additional cost.
11.4 To ensure a safe working environment and the effective coordination of the work, the Trade
Contractor’s superintendent must be able to effectively communicate both orally and by the written
word with the Construction Manager’s project staff and the workforce under the superintendent’s
control.
ARTICLE 12 - PROGRESS SCHEDULE
12.1 A key element in the delivery of this project, in the preconstruction and construction phases, is the
implementation of “Lean Construction” principles. Gilbane requires the Trade Contractor to use the Last
Planner System (LPS) for planning and controlling work on this Project.
12.2 The LPS requires team members to make and keep commitments based on their confidence that
prerequisite work, design information, materials, labor and equipment will be ready so they can start and
complete installations to meet Master Schedule milestones. The Trade Contractors’ Superintendents are
required to participate together with all applicable trades in pull plans for the each major phase of work on
the project in which they will be participating. Each pull plan will work towards creating the detailed
expansion of the milestone schedule included in the bid documents. This Milestone schedule is a guide
for the intended phasing and flow through the project. It is not intended to provide dates or durations for
any activity. Dates, durations, and all sequencing will be created through pull planning sessions
throughout the life of the project. No sequencing or handoffs should be assumed prior to any pull
planning event, other than those specifically communicated in the bid documents. Final sequencing and
hand offs at all pull plan events will be agreed upon by the project team to support the best interest of the
project as a whole. At each pull plan event, Trade Contractor Superintendents structure the flow of work
and outline the network of commitments by identifying the hand-offs between trades. Each onsite
Superintendent or lead foreman is considered a “Last Planner” in the LPS, and has the responsibility to
plan their activities six weeks ahead in a “Look-ahead Schedule” and to identify crew assignments for the
current and next week in a “Weekly Work Plan”. Last Planners are asked to commit to performing work
that they know can be made ready for their crews and to refuse to assign work they are not confident can
be started and / or be completed because it is not ready.
12.3. LAST PLANNER PROCEDURES
.1 Each onsite Lead Foreman or Superintendent for each trade has the latest information about the
status of contract issues, submittals and shop drawings, material and equipment deliveries, RFIs
and change orders, safety training, labor and construction equipment availability.
.2 Each Foreman or Superintendent has the ability to plan work for their respective company and
authority to make commitments to the project in order to execute this plan.

.3 Each Foreman or Superintendent will participate in the phase scheduling meeting for each phase
in which their company is involved. Examples are Demolition & Earthwork, Foundations,
Superstructure, Exterior Envelop, Interior Construction, Finishes and Specialties.
.4 Each Foreman or Superintendent will bring his / her Look-ahead Schedule and Weekly Work
Plan to the weekly planning meeting and actively participate in coordinating work with other
trades under the direction of the Project Superintendent.
.5 Each Foreman or Superintendent will report task completions as they occur to the Project
Superintendent as well as the other foreman of succeeding trades.
.6 Each Forman or Superintendent will track tasks completed as planned and report the results along
with reasons for failures in the weekly planning meeting. The complete items of worked are
measured a “Percent Plan Complete” or PPC.
.7 Each Foreman or Superintendent will participate in a “sub-contractor coordination” meeting to

coordinate work for the next day or week with other trades.
.8 Each coordination meeting can take place either for daily or weekly depending the complexity
and stage of the project.
.9 Roles and Responsibilities
a. Gilbane will be responsible to facilitate and administer the LPS. This will involve
providing direction and coordinating sub-contractors activities, collecting and approving
sub-contractor work plans, facilitating sub-contractor planning meetings and updating,
maintaining and distributing Last Planner forms to all parties.
b. Trade Contractors will provide and include in their bid the necessary resources to
implement Last Planner System for the duration of the project.
c. Trade Contractors must be committed to the process. The Superintendents must make
themselves available to plan and direct the weekly work planning meetings.
.10 Submittals
a. Trade Contractors will be responsible to document the process and provide the following
reports to Gilbane:
i. Weekly copies of the work plans in the Last Planner format.
b. Gilbane will be responsible to document the process and publish the following reports:
i. Monthly reports on PPC achieved per trade and/or by company and for the
overall project including Gilbane’s and the Owner’s performance.
ii. Gilbane will publish a quarterly variance report. The report will outline why
variances are occurring and recommendations to reduce future variances.
ARTICLE 13 - DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS AT THE SITE
13.1 The Trade Contractor shall maintain at the site for the Construction Manager and Architect/Engineer

one copy of all Drawings, Specifications, Addenda, Supplements, Bulletins, Proposal Requests,
Change Orders and other Modifications, in good order and marked currently to record all changes
made during construction. Including any changes in locations, sizing and arrangement of the
various components of the Work or any other variations from the Drawings or Shop Drawings. The
Trade Contractor shall mark each drawing as the Work shown thereon is completed in the field,
revising any or adding lines, dimensions, elevations, depths, notes or any other information required
to accurately record "As-Built" conditions. These Drawings, marked to record all changes during
construction, and approved Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples shall be delivered to the
Construction Manager upon completion of the Work.
13.2 In addition to maintaining and delivering to the Construction Manager those record Drawings
required by Subparagraph 13.1 the Trade Contractor shall also prepare and submit to the
Construction Manager, upon completion of the Work, "As-Built" Reproducible Drawings if the
Contract Documents so require.

illustrate some portion of the Work.
14.4 Product Data are illustrations, standard schedules, performance charts, instructions, brochures,
diagrams and other information furnished by the Trade Contractor to illustrate a material, product or
system for some portion of the Work.
14.5 Samples are physical examples, which illustrate materials, equipment or workmanship and establish
standards by which the Work will be judged, but not used in the actual Work.
14.6 A Request for Information (RFI) form will be used to obtain clarifications of the content or intent of

drawings or specifications issued by the Design Engineer. The Request for Information creates a
written record of the question and the response. (Each RFI must reference a drawing, detail or
specification and provide a clear, concise explanation of the Request for Information.) The Trade
Contractor is responsible to submit its RFIs in a timely manner so as not to impact the progress of
work. The Construction Manager will forward RFI responses to the originating Trade Contractor
and any other Trade Contractor whose work may be affected by the response.
14.7 Mock-ups are full-size, unless noted otherwise, models of a structure, component or assembly used
for demonstration, study, or testing prior to commencing full production. Mock-ups are not

evaluation or quality. Furnish complete as-built drawings, operating and maintenance manuals,
spare parts, attic stock and other required close-out information or materials no later than 30 days
prior to substantial completion. Perform training of Owner’s personnel prior to beneficial
occupancy.
14.9 The Trade Contractor shall review, approve and submit through the Construction Manager with
reasonable promptness and in such sequence as to cause no delay in the Work or in the work of any
separate contractor, all Submittals required by the Contract Documents. Whenever the contract
documents require a certified engineer’s stamp, review or report, it shall be understood to mean an
engineer licensed and registered in the State of the Project and paid for by the Trade Contractor.
14.10 Submittals forwarded by the Trade Contractor to the Construction Manager shall be in conformance
with the requirements of the Contract Documents. The Trade Contractor shall notify the
Construction Manager in writing of any deviations in the submittals from the requirements of the
Contract Documents at the time of submission.
14.11 By approving and submitting Submittals, the Trade Contractor represents that he has determined and
verified all materials, field measurements, and field construction criteria related thereto, or will do
so, and that he has checked and coordinated the information contained within such submittals with
the requirements of the Work and of the Contract Documents.
14.12 The Construction Manager will review such submittals with reasonable promptness, checking only
for completeness and conformance with the Contract Documents. The Construction Manager will
return to the Trade Contractor, without review, any submittals not bearing the Trade Contractor's
approval stamp or other mark showing that they have been reviewed and approved by the Trade
Contractor. The Construction Manager will return to the Trade Contractor for correction or
completion, any submittals found not to be complete or in proper form. The Construction Manager,
if he finds submittals to be in order, will forward the submittals to the Architect/Engineer.
14.13 Approval of the Trade Contractor's submittals does not constitute a complete check, but indicates
only that design, general method of construction and detailing is satisfactory. The Trade Contractor
shall not be relieved of responsibility for any deviation from the requirements of the Contract
Documents by the Architect/Engineer's approval of Submittals (see Subparagraph 5.2.10) unless the
Trade Contractor has specifically informed the Architect/Engineer and Construction Manager in
writing of such deviation at the time of submission and the Architect/Engineer has given written
approval to the specific deviation. The Trade Contractor shall not be relieved from responsibility
for errors or omissions in the Shop Drawings, Product Data or Samples by the Construction
Manager's forwarding or the Architect/Engineer's approval thereof.

14.14 The Trade Contractor shall direct specific attention, in writing, on resubmitted Shop Drawings,
Product Data or Samples, to revisions other than those requested by the Architect/Engineer or
Construction Manager on previous submittals.
14.15 The Trade Contractor shall resubmit submittals, as required, until Architect's approval is obtained.
Submittals that are rejected or require revisions shall be corrected and resubmitted to the
Construction Manager no later than ten (10) days. No portion of the Work requiring submission of
Shop Drawings, product Data or Samples shall be commenced until the submittal has been approved

14.19 Shop drawing submittals to the Construction Manager shall be submitted via PMWeb.
After review by the Architect, the Construction Manager will return submittals, which will have
been stamped by the Architect as follows, unless noted otherwise:
.1 "Rejected" indicates that data or shop drawings must be revised, new shop drawings or data
prepared and resubmitted. Shop drawings and data marked in this manner shall not be
released for fabrication or construction.
.2 "Approved as Noted" indicates that the submittal is approved subject to corrections noted.
Shop drawings may be released for fabrication of work at Trade Contractor's risk; in any
event the submittal shall be corrected and new shop drawings submitted for final approval.
.3 "Approved" indicates final action. No changes shall be made on approved drawings. If the
Trade Contractor requires a change, he shall notify the Construction Manager, in writing, that
the approved set has been withdrawn and shall submit the substitution set in accordance with
the above procedure.
14.20 Coordination Drawing Process
.1 Layout Drawings
As soon as practical and in no case starting later than 30 days after the award of contract,
unless noted otherwise, the HVAC Trade Contractor shall commence preparation of layout
drawings of all equipment, duct work and piping at not less than 3/8" scale and in the latest
version of CADD.
These drawings shall show routing, sizes and elevations of bottom of all ductwork and
piping, equipment, registers, grilles, diffusers, and similar features, as well as locations of all
valves, dampers, services, thermostats, and all other items requiring access for service and
maintenance. The drawings shall also show beams, ceiling heights and types, walls and
ratings, floor to floor dimensions and ratings, columns, doors and other major architectural
and structural features as shown on the architectural and structural drawings.
The HVAC Trade Contractor shall within 60 days after award of contract, unless noted
otherwise, submit the layout drawings to the plumbing, fire protection, security, tel/data, AV,
casework and electrical Trade Contractors who shall then mark on the reproducible or add a
separate CADD layer for their own routings as well as other major items such as valves,
access panels, switch panels, etc., as required to determine interrelationship and possible
interferences with HVAC work, the work of other Trades Contractors, and architectural or
structural features. The marked up reproducible or CADD file shall then be returned to the
HVAC Trade Contractor through the Construction Manager no less than 30 days after receipt,

unless noted otherwise.
.2 Preliminary Composite Drawing
The HVAC Trade Contractor shall then prepare a preliminary composite of such layout
drawings, incorporating all the information and routings provided by the other Trade
Contractors. (At the HVAC Trade Contractor’s option and approval from the Construction
Manager, a group of transparent overlays may be substituted provided that they clearly show
the relationship of all proposed installations). The composite or overlays will then be
reviewed during a series of meetings as directed by the Construction Manager, at which all
trades shall be represented, in order to review and resolve any real or apparent interferences
or conflicts.
In preparing the composite drawings, minor changes in duct, pipe or conduit routings that do
not affect the intended function may be made as required to avoid space conflicts, when
mutually agreed, but items may not be resized or exposed and concealed items relocated
without the Architect/Engineer's and Construction Manager's written approval. No changes
shall be made in any wall or chase locations, soffit or ceiling heights, door swings or
locations, window or other openings, or other features affecting the function or esthetic effect
of the building. If conflicts or interferences cannot be satisfactorily resolved, the Architect
and Construction Manager shall be notified and their decision obtained.
The composite drawings need not be submitted as a whole, but they shall be submitted, in all
cases, in ample time to avoid construction delay. The coordination drawings may lack
complete data in certain instances pending receipt of shop drawings, but sufficient space shall
be allotted for the items affected. When final information is received, such data shall be
promptly inserted on the composite drawings.
All changes in the scope of work due to revisions formally issued and approved shall be
shown on the composite drawings.
All work on the coordination composite drawings shall be performed by competent draftsmen
and shall be clear and fully legible. The Architect shall be the sole judge of the acceptability
of the drawings.
.3 Final Composite Drawing
After all conflicts or interferences are resolved, the HVAC Trade Contractor shall then
develop a final composite drawing showing the agreed upon routing, layout and juxtaposition
of all ductwork, conveyers, piping, major conduit, valves, panels, lighting fixtures and all
other major mechanical and electrical installations. In areas where no HVAC work occurs,
but where other mechanical, electrical, or systems installations are installed, each Trade
Contractor shall be responsible for his own work and shall cooperate in preparing similar
composite drawings, shall perform his own drafting work and pay his own costs in
connection therewith. In the preparation of all the final composite drawings, large scale
details as well as cross and longitudinal sections shall be as required to fully delineate all
conditions. Particular attention shall be given to the locations, size and clearance dimensions
of all equipment items, shafts, soffits, ceiling and wall spaces, and similar features.
These final composite drawings shall then be signed-off by each of the Trade Contractors,
including the HVAC Trade Contractor, indicating their awareness of and agreement with the

indicated routings and layouts and their interrelationship with the adjoining or continuous
work of all other Trade Contractors.
Thereafter, no unauthorized deviations will be permitted, and if made without knowledge or

agreement of the Architect/Engineer and/or Construction Manager, this unauthorized work
will be subject to removal and correction by the respective Trade Contractors at no additional
cost to the Owner.
No extra compensation will be paid for relocating any duct, pipe, conduit, or other material
that has been installed without proper coordination between all trades involved. If any
improperly coordinated work, or work installed that is not in accordance with the approved
coordination composites, necessitates additional work by the other trades, the costs of all such
additional work shall be borne solely by the Trade Contractors responsible.
.4 Final Composite Drawing (Record Copy)
After the final composite drawings have been agreed upon and signed by all Trade
Contractors, the HVAC Trade Contractor shall provide and distribute for reference and record
purposes. Other Trade Contractors responsible for supplementary composite drawings, as
indicated herein before, shall provide similar distribution. All Trade Contractors desiring
additional prints of such drawings, beyond the basic distribution indicated above, shall
arrange for and pay the cost of same.
The Construction Manager and each Trade Contractor as working reference shall retain the
record copies of final composite drawings. All shop drawings, prior to their submittal to the
Architect/Engineer, shall be compared with the record composite drawings and developed
accordingly by the Trade Contractor responsible. Any revision to the record composite
drawings, which may become necessary during the progress of the work, shall be noted by all
Trade Contractors and shall be neatly and accurately recorded on the record copies. Each
Trade Contractor shall be responsible for the up-to-date maintenance of his record copies of
the composite drawings and to keep one copy available at the site. The Construction
Manager, and each Trade Contractor in the development of his “as-built” drawings, shall
utilize the composite drawings and any subsequent changes thereto.
14.21 Record Documents: "As-Built Drawings", Warranty and Maintenance Manuals
.1 Each Trade Contractor shall keep a complete record of his own work and shall indicate
deviations from the Drawings as to the installation of his own work. All information shall be
recorded in a neat, legible and accurate manner. All changes, revisions or additions made in
the installation of the work which differs from that required by the Drawings must be noted.
.2 Upon completion of the work, the Trade Contractor shall forward the marked up Drawings,
suitable for preparation of composite "As-Built Drawings" to the Construction Manager for
review and transmittal to the Architect. All changes shall be indicated in contrasting colors
or highlighting.
14.22 The Trade Contractor, prior to or at the time of Substantial Completion for the Work and during
administrative closeout of the project, shall submit one copy of all specified warranties and
guarantees to the Construction Manager for review, approval and subsequent transmittal to the
Architect and Owner.

14.23 Owner's Maintenance Manual: The Trade Contractor, during the course of the work, shall maintain,
coordinate and collect copies of warranties, guarantees, certificates, installation drawings,
manufacturer's maintenance and operations manuals, parts lists, and keying schedules and at the
acceptance of the project, shall assemble this material into a manual and forward to the Construction
Manager for incorporation in the Operations and Maintenance Manual for the project.

substitutions, the Trade Contractor shall provide evidence leading to a reasonable certainty that the
proposed products will provide a quality or result at least equal to that otherwise attainable from the
specified products. If, in the opinion of the Architect, the evidence presented by the Trade
Contractor does not provide a sufficient basis for such reasonable certainty, the Architect may reject
such substitution, “or equal”, or deviation without further investigation. Such rejection shall not
relieve the Trade Contractor from complying with the Specifications at no additional cost to the
Owner or Construction Manager.
15.2 If the Trade Contractor proposes to use a material which, while suitable for the intended use,
deviates in any way from the detailed requirements of the Contract Documents he shall inform the

are 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The Trade Contractor shall request authorization from the Construction
Manager at least 48 hours in advance to perform any work on off hours. Pay the costs for all
standby trades should work for this bid package be performed during other than normal work hours.
All delivery times to the jobsite must be coordinated with the Construction Manager. Additionally,
a representative of the Trade Contractor must be present to receive and unload any deliveries. Any
deliveries made to the jobsite without a Trade Contractor representative present, will be refused
access. The Trade Contractor will be held accountable for any schedule and/or financial impacts
related to the turning away of deliveries.
16.3 The roads, sidings and other transportation facilities at the site, where work under the Contract is
being performed, are for the general use and convenience of the Owner. At no time will a Trade
Contractor be allowed to obstruct public streets or loading areas. If Trade Contractors are permitted
to use them, they must conform to the regulations of the local authorities. If the work of a Trade
Contractor requires that such facilities be temporarily discontinued, after obtaining Construction
Manager's approval, the work must be done expeditiously and he shall provide and maintain proper

ARTICLE 19 - TRADE-SUBCONTRACTORS
19.1 DEFINITION
19.1.1 A Trade-Subcontractor is a person or entity who has a direct or indirect (lower tier) contract with a
Trade Contractor to perform any of the Work at the site. The term Trade-Subcontractor is referred
to throughout the Contract Documents as if singular in number and masculine in gender and means a
Trade-Subcontractor or his authorized representative.

19.1.2 Nothing in the contract documents shall create any contractual relationship between the Owner, the
Architect/Engineer or the Construction Manager and any Trade-Subcontractor of the Trade
Contractor.
19.2 AWARD OF TRADE-SUBCONTRACTS AND OTHER CONTRACTS FOR PORTIONS OF

THE WORK
19.2.1 Unless otherwise required by the Contract Documents the Trade Contractor shall furnish to the
Construction Manager in writing, for acceptance by the Owner and the Construction Manager in
writing, the names of the persons or entities (including those who are to furnish materials or
equipment fabricated to a special design) proposed for all portions of the Work. The Construction
Manager will promptly reply to the Trade Contractor in writing if either the Owner or the
Construction Manager, after due investigation, has reasonable objection to any such proposed
person or entity. Failure of the Owner or Construction Manager to reply shall constitute notice of no
reasonable objection.
19.2.2 The Trade Contractor shall not contract with any such proposed person or entity to whom the Owner
or the Construction Manager has made reasonable objection under the provision of Subparagraph
19.2.1. The Trade Contractor shall not be required to contract with anyone to whom he has a
reasonable objection.
19.2.3 If the Owner or Construction Manager refuses to accept any person or entity on a list submitted by
the Trade Contractor in response to the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Trade
Contractor shall submit an acceptable substitute; however, no increase in the Contract Sum or
schedule shall be allowed for any such substitution.
19.2.4 The Trade Contractor shall make no substitution for any Trade-Subcontractor, person or entity
previously selected if the Owner or Construction Manager makes reasonable objection to such
substitution.

require each Trade-Subcontractor to the extent of the work to be performed by the Trade-
Subcontractor, to be bound to the Trade Contractor by the terms of the Contract Documents, and to
assume toward the Trade Contractor all the obligations and responsibilities which the Trade
Contractor, by these Documents, assumes toward the Owner, the Construction Manager, or the
Architect/Engineer. Said agreement shall preserve and protect the rights of the Owner, the
Construction Manager and the Architect/Engineer under the Contract Documents with respect to the
Work to be performed by the Trade-Subcontractor so that the subcontracting thereof will not
prejudice such rights, and shall allow to the Trade-Subcontractor, unless specifically provided
otherwise in the Trade Contractor/Trade-Subcontractor agreement, the benefit of all rights, remedies
and redress against the Trade Contractor that the Trade Contractor, by these Documents, has against
the Owner or Construction Manager. Where appropriate, the Trade Contractor shall require each
Trade-Subcontractor to enter into similar agreements with his lower tier Trade-Subcontractors. The
Trade Contractor shall make available to each proposed Trade-Subcontractor, prior to the execution
of the Trade-Subcontract, copies of the Contract Documents to which the Trade-Subcontractor will
be bound by this Paragraph 19.3.1 and shall identify to the Trade-Subcontractor any terms and

conditions of the proposed Trade-Subcontract which may be at a variance with the Contract
Documents. Each Trade-Subcontractor shall similarly make copies of such Documents available to
his lower tier Trade-Subcontractors.
ARTICLE 20 - SEPARATE TRADE CONTRACTS
20.1 MUTUAL RESPONSIBILITY OF TRADE CONTRACTORS
20.1.1 The Trade Contractor shall afford the Construction Manager and other Trade Contractors reasonable
opportunity for the introduction and storage of their materials and equipment and the execution of
their work, and shall connect and coordinate his Work with others under the general direction of the
20.1.2 If any part of the Trade Contractor's Work depends, for proper execution or results, upon the work
of the Construction Manager or any separate Trade Contractor, the Trade Contractor shall, prior to
proceeding with the Work, promptly report to the Construction Manager any apparent discrepancies
of defects in such work that render it unsuitable for such proper execution and results. Failure of the
Trade Contractor to so report shall constitute an acceptance of the other Trade Contractor's or
Construction Manager's work as fit and proper to receive his Work, except as to defects which may
subsequently become apparent in such work by others.
20.1.3 Copies of Drawings and Specifications relating to these separate contracts will be available to the
Trade Contractor, upon request, for his information in carrying out the above provisions. The Trade
Contractor shall be held responsible for any damage or misfit or rework resulting from his neglect to
comply with the foregoing.
20.1.4 All Trade Contractors on the project shall have equal rights on the premises for the performance of
their work, but shall follow the sequence established by the progress schedule and/or instruction
issued by the Construction Manager.
20.1.5 If the Trade Contractor notifies the Construction Manager, in writing, that another Trade Contractor
on this project is failing to coordinate his work with the Work of this contract, as directed, the
Construction Manager will promptly investigate the charge. If he finds it to be true, he will promptly
issue such directions to the other Trade Contractor with respect thereto as the situation may require.
The Construction Manager shall not, however, be liable for any damages suffered by this Trade
Contractor by reason of the other Trade Contractor's failure to promptly comply with the directions
so issued by the Construction Manager or by reason of another Trade Contractor's default in
performance; it being understood that the Construction Manager does not guarantee the
responsibility or continued efficiency of any Trade Contractor. Any costs caused by defective or ill-
timed work shall be borne by the party responsible therefore.
20.1.6 Should the Trade Contractor wrongfully cause damage to the work or property of the Owner, any
separate Trade Contractor or other Contractor, the Trade Contractor shall, upon due notice, promptly
attempt to settle with the Owner, the separate Trade Contractor or other Contractor by agreement, or
otherwise resolve the dispute. If such separate Trade Contractor or other Contractor sues the Owner
or the Construction Manager on account of any damage alleged to have been caused by the Trade
Contractor, the Owner or Construction Manager shall notify the Trade Contractor who shall defend
such proceedings at the Trade Contractor's expense, and if any judgment or award against the Owner
or Construction Manager arises therefrom, the Trade Contractor shall pay or satisfy it and shall
reimburse the Owner or Construction Manager for all attorney's fees and court costs which the

Owner or Construction Manager has incurred.
20.1.7 Should the Trade Contractor sustain any damage through any act or omission of any other Trade
Contractor having a contract with the Construction Manager for the performance of work upon the
site or of work which may be necessary to be performed for the proper prosecution of the work to be
performed hereunder, or through any act of omission of a Subcontractor of such Trade Contractor,
the Trade Contractor shall have no claim against the Owner, Architect, Construction Manager or the
Owner's consultants for such damage, but shall have a right to recover such damage from the other
Trade Contractor under the provision similar to the following provisions that have been or will be
inserted in the contracts with such other contractors.
20.1.8 Should any other contractor having or who shall hereafter have a contract with the Construction
Manager for the performance of work upon the site sustain any damage through any act or omission
of a Trade-Subcontractor of the Trade Contractor, the Trade Contractor agrees to reimburse such
other contractor for all such damages and to indemnify and hold the Owner, Architect and
Construction Manager harmless from all claims.
20.1.9 The Trade Contractor shall indemnify and hold the Owner, Architect, Program Manager, and
Construction Manager harmless from any and all claims or judgments for damages and from costs
and expenses to which the Owner, Architect and/or Construction Manager may be subjected or
which either may suffer or incur by reason of the Trade Contractor's failure to comply with the
Construction Manager's directions and/or Contract Documents promptly.
If the Trade Contractor installs any work prior to proper coordination, or in such manner as to cause
interference with work of others, he shall arrange for removal of or arrange for necessary
modifications to the work. Any such action is subject to the approval of the Construction Manager
and shall be at no additional cost.
20.1.10 The Trade Contractor shall cooperate with the Owner, Architect, Program Manager, and
Construction Manager and other Trade Contractors working on this project in order to avoid
interference, inconvenience or damage. To aid in avoiding conflicts, the Trade Contractor, without
additional charge, shall make all reasonable modifications in the work as may be directed by the
In the event the Trade Contractor's operations causes any damage, interference, or inconvenience to
work being carried out under any other Trade Contract, the Trade Contractor shall restore, replace,
rectify, or otherwise make good any damage to the satisfaction of the Construction Manager or to
the other Trade Contractors. Should the responsible Trade Contractor fail to comply with this
provision, the work will be done by others at the expense of the responsible Trade Contractor.
20.1.11 Trade Contractor agrees that he has become familiar with the site, has reviewed the plans and
specifications covering the work of his and other trades and thereby accepts responsibility for all
necessary coordination of his Work with the work of other Trade Contractor affected.
20.1.12 The Owner reserves the right to perform construction or operation related to the Project with the
Owner’s own forces or contractors hired directly by the Owner. The Owner shall provide for

23.1 The duties and obligations imposed by the Contract Documents and the rights and remedies
available thereunder shall be in addition to and not a limitation of any duties, obligations, rights and
remedies otherwise imposed or available by law.
23.2 No action or failure to act by the Construction Manager, Architect/Engineer or Trade Contractor
shall constitute a waiver of any right or duty afforded any of them under the Contract Documents,
nor shall any such action or failure to act constitute an approval of or acquiescence in any breach
there under, except as may be specifically agreed in writing.
ARTICLE 24 - TESTS
24.1 If the Contract Documents, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or order of any public authority
having jurisdiction require any portion of the Work to be inspected, tested or approved, the Trade
Contractor shall give the Construction Manager timely notice of its readiness so the
Architect/Engineer and Construction Manager may observe such inspection, testing or approval. The
Trade Contractor shall bear all costs of such inspections, tests or approvals unless otherwise
provided.
24.2 If the Architect/Engineer or Construction Manager determines that any Work requires special
inspection, testing or approval which Paragraph 24.1 does not include, the Construction Manager
will instruct the Trade Contractor to provide such special inspection, testing or approval and the
Trade Contractor shall give notice as in Subparagraph 24.1. If such special inspection or testing
reveals a failure of the Work to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Trade
Contractor shall bear all costs thereof, including compensation for the Architect/Engineer's and
Construction Manager's additional services made necessary by such failure. If the Work complies,
the Owner shall bear such costs and an appropriate Change Order shall be issued.
24.3 Required certificates of inspection, testing or approval shall be secured by the Trade Contractor and
promptly delivered to the Construction Manager.

24.4 If the Architect/Engineer or Construction Manager is to observe the inspections, tests or approvals
required by the Contract Documents, he will do so promptly and, where practicable, at the source of
supply. Provide access for Construction Manager inspections. This may include manlifts meeting
OSHA requirements where staging is not available.
24.5 Neither the observations of the Architect/Engineer or the Construction Manager, in their
administration of the Construction Contract, nor inspections, test or approvals by persons other than
the Trade Contractor, shall relieve the Trade Contractor from his obligation to perform the Work in
accordance with the Contract Documents.
24.6 The Trade Contractor shall deliver test samples of any of the materials specified in any of the
Sections of his Specifications to an independent testing laboratory selected and approved by the
Owner and Construction Manager, if so required. This may apply to materials proposed for use,
materials already delivered to the job, or materials already incorporated into the construction.
24.7 The Trade Contractor shall maintain a file of all test reports. At the completion of the project, these
reports will be submitted as an Appendix to the Operations and Maintenance Manual described
above.
24.8 Any materials, which fail to meet the requirements of these Contract Documents, shall not be used
whether or not previously approved by the Architect. If they have been delivered to the job, they
shall be removed. If they have already been incorporated into the construction, the Construction
Manager or the Architect may order them removed, or, at the discretion of the Owner, through the
Construction Manager they may be permitted to remain in place providing the Trade Contractor
agrees to a proper deduction from the contract sum.
24.9 The services of a testing and inspection engineer selected by the Owner and Architect shall be
provided and paid for by the Owner for the tests required in the section (24.6) unless specifically
stated otherwise or due to deficient work.
24.10 The cost to retest or re-inspect Work, which previously failed such testing or inspection, shall be
borne by the responsible Trade Contractor.
ARTICLE 25 - INTEREST
25.1 Payments due and unpaid under the Contract Documents shall bear interest from the date payment is
due only to the extent so provided in the agreement between the Owner and Construction Manager.
ARTICLE 26 - TIME

Documents for the Substantial Completion of the Work as defined in Subparagraph (26.1.3)
including authorized adjustments thereto.
26.1.2 The date of commencement of the Work shall be the date of the Trade Contractor Agreement or
such other date as may be established therein.

26.1.3 The date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof is the Date certified
by the Architect/Engineer when construction is sufficiently complete, in accordance with the
Contract Documents, so the Owner can occupy or utilize the Work or designated portion for the use
for which it is intended.
26.1.4 The term day as used in the Contract Documents shall mean calendar day unless otherwise
specifically designated.
26.2 Not used.
26.3 DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME
26.3.1 If the Trade Contractor is delayed at any time in the progress of the Work by any act or neglect of
the Owner, Construction Manager, or the Architect/Engineer, or by any employee of either, or by
any separate contractor employed by the Owner, or by changes ordered in the Work, or by labor
disputes, fire, unusual delay in transportation, adverse weather conditions not reasonably
anticipatable, unavoidable casualties or any causes beyond the Trade Contractor's control, or by any
other cause which the Construction Manager determines may justify the delay, then the Contract
Time shall be extended by Change Order for such reasonable time as the Construction Manager may
determine. In the event that a conflict exists between this section and a like clause contained in a
document having higher precedence, such like clause shall have preference to the extent of the
conflict.
26.3.2 Any claim for extension of time shall be made in writing to the Construction Manager not more than
ten (10) days after the commencement of the delay; otherwise, it shall be waived. Any claim for
extension of time shall state the cause of the delay and the number of days extension requested. If
the cause of the delay is continuing, only one claim is necessary, but the Trade Contractor shall
report the termination of the cause for the delay within ten (10) days after such termination;
otherwise any claim for extension of time based upon that cause shall be waived.
26.3.3 In the event of a delay attributable in part to the Trade Contractor and in part to causes or parties for
which the Trade Contractor is not responsible, then provided the Trade Contractor has given proper
and timely notice hereunder, the delay shall be equitably apportioned among the parties causing it
and the Trade Contractor shall remain liable for the portion not so excused.
26.3.4 If no agreement is made stating the dates upon which interpretations as set forth in Subparagraph
5.2.1 shall be furnished, then no claim for delay shall be allowed on account of failure to furnish
such interpretations until fifteen days after written request is made for them, and not then unless
such claim is reasonable.
26.3.5 It is recognized by the Trade Contractor that he may reasonably anticipate that as the project
progresses, the Construction Manager will be making changes in and updating construction
schedules pursuant to the authority given him in Article 2.2 in the Trade Contract Agreement.
Therefore, no claim for an increase in the Contract Sum for either acceleration or delay will be
allowed for extensions of time pursuant to this Paragraph 26.3 or for other changes in the
Construction Schedules, which are of the type ordinarily experienced in projects of similar size and
complexity.
26.3.6 If the Project is delayed as a result of the Trade Contractor's refusal or failure to begin the Work on
the date of commencement, as defined in Subparagraph 26.1.2 or his refusal or failure to carry the
Work forward expeditiously with adequate forces, equipment, material or other resources, the Trade

Contractor shall be liable to the Construction Manager or other Trade Contractors for damages for
every day the Trade Contractor's scheduled completion is exceeded, provided, however, that such
refusal or failure is not the result of a justifiable delay as defined in Subparagraph 26.3.1. It shall be
understood and agreed that should delay in the project be attributable to more than one (1) Trade
Contractor, the Construction Manager, at his sole discretion, shall make a reasonable assessment of
the maximum damages for each Trade Contractor, such maximum damages being for every calendar
day of unexcused delay.
26.3.7 The permitting of the Trade Contractor or the Surety on the performance bond, if applicable, to
proceed to complete any Work or any part of it after the date of completion or after the date to
which the time for completion may have been extended, shall in no way operate as a waiver on the
part of the Construction Manager of any of its rights hereunder.
26.3.8 Neither the Owner nor the Architect nor the Construction Manager shall have liability to the Trade
Contractor or to any other Trade Contractor or Trade-Subcontractor for delay, hindrance, or
interference in the performance of the Work, however caused, except for delay or hindrance
resulting from active interference of Owner or its representatives in such Trade Contractor's
execution of the Work, and except for delay or hindrance resulting from defective plans and
specifications.
26.3.9 In addition to damages, as defined in Subparagraph 26.3.6 the Trade Contractor shall be liable to the
Construction Manager for any other damages sustained as the result of the Trade Contractor's refusal
or failure to perform the Work, provided, however, that such refusal or failure is not the result of a
justifiable delay as defined in Subparagraph 26.3.1.
26.3.10 With the Construction Manager's approval, the Trade Contractor shall suspend any work that may
be subject to damage by climatic conditions. Under such conditions the Trade Contractor shall take
measures to protect his work and to minimize the impact on progress of the work.
ARTICLE 27 - PAYMENTS AND COMPLETION
27.1 PROGRESS PAYMENTS
27.1.1 The Construction Manager may request As-Built Drawings, schedule updates, payrolls for all labor,
material status reports, waivers of lien, contractor’s sworn statement, and other data supporting
payment to Trade-Subcontractors and/or materials suppliers before processing the requisition.
27.1.2 The Trade Contractor shall, by an appropriate agreement with each Trade-Subcontractor, require
each Trade-Subcontractor to make payments to his suppliers and lower tier Trade-Subcontractors in
a similar manner as the Construction Manager makes payments to the Trade Contractor.
27.1.3 Materials, equipment and associated components that are in accordance with the Contract
Documents, are in compliance with the approved submittals and will be incorporated into the
project, may be taken into consideration by the Construction Manager and the Owner in computing
progress payments, provided the material is delivered and properly stored on the project site, or is
delivered to the Trade Contractor and properly stored in a warehouse, storage yard or similar suitable
place as may be approved by the Construction Manager and the Owner. All items covered by such
payments made shall thereupon become the sole property of the Owner. The Trade Contractor shall
remain responsible for the care of all such stored materials until they have been properly installed
and accepted by the Construction Manager and the Owner. All such requests for payment are to be

inventoried by an authorized representative of the Construction Manager and/or the Owner and A/E
at the location of the stored materials. The individual conducting the inventory for the Construction
Manager shall state in writing that all of the requirements for granting this payment have been
satisfied by the submitting Trade Contractor. The Trade Contractor shall meet the following
requirements when submitting for payment of on-site or off-site stored materials:
Making Payments For On-Site Stored Materials:

invoice, less the standard retainage as required by the Contract, indicating the unit quantities,
description of the material or equipment and their costs. The Trade Contractor shall also comply
with the following requirements:
 Provide a complete inventory list of the materials with quantities for which payment is
requested.
 Provide valid invoices from the suppliers showing the costs of the items for which payment
is requested.

with clear labels matching the items’ descriptions on the supplier’s invoices, including the
name of the responsible Trade Contractor.
 Ensure items are properly stored off of the ground protected from damage, loss, weather,
vandalism and theft in a location and manner acceptable to the Construction Manager.
Making Payments For Off-Site Stored Materials:
Payments may be made for off-site stored materials provided it can be demonstrated that making
such payments will be in the best interests of the project, and that all such payments will only be
made at the discretion of the Owner.
In such cases where payment for off-site stored materials is warranted and has been specifically
approved by the Construction Manager and the Owner, the following requirements must be met
prior to payment.
Payment for materials, equipment and associated components stored off-site shall be for their
substantiated cost exclusive of the amount necessary to load, transport and unload these materials
from their storage location to the jobsite, less the standard retainage as required by the Contract.
The invoice shall indicate the unit quantity, description of the material or equipment and their costs.
Before such payment is processed, the Trade Contractor shall furnish the Construction Manager and
the Owner with a certified statement giving the exact location of the stored materials or equipment,
that such material or equipment is properly stored, protected and physically identified, as prescribed
by the Construction Manager, and that the material or equipment will not be diverted for any other
use. The Trade Contractor shall furnish the Construction Manager and the Owner with properly
executed bills of sale naming the Construction Manager and the Owner as the payees along with a
complete listing of the stored items total current value.
Trade Contractor shall provide “all-risk” property insurance as evidenced by a separate certificate
of insurance covering the material upon which payment is being made on an agreed amount,
replacement cost basis. Such policy shall cover at a minimum any loss to the material due to theft,
fire, flood, earthquake, collapse and windstorm while the material is at an approved storage
location. Owner and Construction Manager shall be added as named insureds, and loss payees to
this insurance. . Owner and Construction Manager, and anyone else required by either in the

Contract Documents, shall be provided a waiver of subrogation on any policy providing the
coverage required in this Subparagraph 27.1.3 The Trade Contractor shall also comply with the
following requirements:
 Provide a complete separate summary inventory list of the materials with quantities for
which payment is requested.
 Provide valid invoices from the suppliers showing the costs of the items for which payment
is requested.
 These materials are to be consolidated in one location at the storage site in their own
designated area, which has been clearly marked off from other materials being stored at that
location.
 These materials are not to be relocated from their designated storage area without the prior
approval of the Construction Manager.
 The approved label shall include the names of the Owner, the Construction Manager and the
Trade Contractor; the Construction Manager project number, the project’s name and address,
and a short statement stating these materials are to be used only for their intended purpose on
the stated project and will not be diverted for any other use.
 Ensure items are properly stored off of the ground, protected from damage, loss, weather,
vandalism and theft in a manner acceptable to the Construction Manager.
All material must to be inspected by Construction Manager personnel and the Architect or
Engineer, or Owner's Representative and must receive the recommendation from the Architect or
Engineer, or Owner's Representative for payment therefor. Trade Contractor shall pay for the cost
of the Architect's or Engineer's, or Owner's Representative's time and expense in performing these
inspection services. Inspections must occur before billing can be approved.
27.2 PAYMENTS WITHHELD
27.2.1 The Construction Manager may decline to approve an Application for Payment if in his opinion the
Application is not adequately supported. If the Trade Contractor and Construction Manager cannot
agree on a revised amount, the Construction Manager shall process the Application for the amount
he deems appropriate. The Construction
Manager may also decline to approve any Applications for Payment or, because of subsequently
discovered evidence or subsequent inspections, he may nullify in whole or in part any approval
previously made to such extent as may be necessary in his opinion because of:
.1 defective work not remedied;
.2 third party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of such claims;
.3 failure of the Trade Contractor to make payments properly to Trade-Subcontractors or for

labor, materials or equipment;
.4 reasonable evidence that the Work cannot be completed for the unpaid balance of the
Contract Sum;

Project;
.6 reasonable evidence that the Work will not be completed within the Contract Time;
.7 persistent failure to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents;

.8 no payments on the basis of work performed by a Trade Contractor shall be paid until copies
of all bonds required, if any, and any certificates of insurance required of the Trade
Contractors under Article 30 have been filed with the Construction Manager.
.9 the filing of a lien against the Project which lien is caused by the act or inaction of the Trade
Contractor or his Trade-Subcontractors;
.10 refusal to follow the Project Safety Program;
.11 failure to maintain record drawings as specified;

.17 failure to complete submittals within contractual requirements;
.18 failure to submit waivers of lien and/or contractor’s sworn statements; and
.19 failure to submit updated certificates of insurance.
27.2.2 When the above grounds in subparagraph 27.2.1 are removed, payment shall be made for amounts
withheld because of them.
27.3 FAILURE OF PAYMENT
27.3.1 If the Trade Contractor is not paid within seven working days after, payment is made to
Construction Manager by the Owner, and is approved for payment by the Construction Manager and
has become due and payable, then the Trade Contractor may, upon seven additional days written
notice to the Owner and Construction Manager, stop the Work until payment of the amount due has
been received. The Contract Sum shall be increased by the amount of the Trade Contractor's
reasonable costs of shutdown, delay and start-up, which shall be effected by appropriate Change
Order in accordance with Paragraph 31.3.
27.4 FINAL COMPLETION AND FINAL PAYMENT
27.4.1 When the work is substantially completed, the Trade Contractor shall notify the Construction
Manager, in writing, that the work will be ready for final inspection and test on a definite date.
Notice shall be given at least fifteen (15) days in advance of said date. The Construction Manager
shall forward the notice to the Architect/Engineer and Program Manager who will attach their
endorsement as to whether or not he concurs with the Trade Contractor's statement that the work
will be ready for final inspection or test on the date given, but such endorsement shall not relieve the
Trade Contractor of his responsibility in the matter. If the Architect/Engineer and Program Manager

concur that the Work will be ready for final inspection or test on the date given, the
Architect/Engineer, Program Manager and the Construction Manager will make such inspection.
The Trade Contractor is required to furnish access for the final inspection. If the Work is found
acceptable under the Contract Documents and the Contract fully performed, and the Trade
Contractor has documented the turnover of spare stock of materials, spare parts, accessories and
special tools to the Owner through the Construction Manager, the Construction Manager, upon
receipt of a correct final Application for Payment, shall recommend to the Owner that such payment
be made.
27.4.2 Neither application for final payment nor for the remaining retained percentage shall be made until
the Trade Contractor submits to the Construction Manager (1) an affidavit that all payrolls, bills for
materials and equipment, and other indebtedness connected with the Work for which the Owner or
his property might in any way be responsible, have been paid or otherwise satisfied, (2) consent of
surety, if any, to final payment (3) properly executed "General Release and Lien Waiver and
General Guarantee" on forms provided by the Construction Manager, (4) specified warranties and
guarantees, (5) substantiation that contractual DBE requirements have been met and (6) if required,
other data establishing payment or satisfaction of all such obligations, such as receipts, releases and
waivers of liens arising out of the Contract, to the extent and in such form as may be designated. If
any Trade-Subcontractor refuses to furnish a release or waiver required by the Owner or
Construction Manager, the Trade Contractor may furnish a bond satisfactory to the Owner and
Construction Manager to indemnify them against any such lien. If any such lien remains unsatisfied
after all payments are made, the Trade Contractor shall refund to the Owner or Construction
Manager all moneys that the latter may be compelled to pay in discharging such lien, including all
costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.
27.4.3 A minimum of 150% of the value of items on the punch list as determined by the Construction
Manager shall be retained until the punch list has been completed.
27.4.3.1 If the punch list is not complete in sixty (60) Days, the Construction Manager reserves the right to
complete the outstanding punch list items by awarding separate contracts and to deduct the cost
thereof from the amounts remaining due to the Trade Contractor.
27.4.4 Upon successful completion of the final inspection and Work required by the Contract, acceptance
of same by the Owner and the filing of all affidavits, consents of surety, if any, and other data
required in Subparagraph 27.4.2 the Architect/Engineer shall file a written certification of
completion with the Owner and with the Construction Manager as to the entire amount of work
performed and compensation earned, including extra work and compensation therefore. Within
thirty (30) days after the filing of such certificate of completion, the Owner shall pay the
Construction Manager the amount stated therein, less all prior payments and advances, whatsoever,
to or for the account of the Construction Manager. All prior estimates and payments including those
relating to extra work shall be subject to correction by this payment, which is throughout this
Contract called final payment. Upon receipt of final payment from the Owner, the Construction
Manager shall make final payment to the Trade Contractors as required by Article 3.2 in the Trade
Contract.
27.4.5 The making of final payment shall constitute a waiver of all claims by the Owner or Construction
Manager except those arising from:
.1 unsettled liens;
.2 faulty or defective Work appearing after Substantial Completion;

.3 failure of the Work to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents; or
.4 terms of any special warranties required by the Contract Documents.
27.4.6 The acceptance by the Trade Contractor of the final payment shall be, and operate as, a release to
the Owner and to the Construction Manager of all claims and of all liability to the Trade Contractor
for all things done or furnished in connection with this Trade Contract. Acceptance of the final
Change Order represents full and final settlement of all costs and claims, known or unknown, real or
imagined, against Gilbane Building Company and/or the Owner for Work, labor or materials
provided under the Trade Contract Agreement and any Change Orders thereto and the Trade
Contractor thereby releases Gilbane Building Company and the Owner from same. This does not
alter the Trade Contractor’s obligations under the Contract Documents

31.1.1 A Change Order is a written order to the Trade Contractor signed by Construction Manager, in the
form of a Trade Contract Agreement Change Order issued after the execution of the Contract,
authorizing a Change in the Work or an adjustment in the Contract Sum and/or the Contract Time.
The Contract Sum and the Contract Time may be changed only by written Change Order. An
Change Order signed by the Trade Contractor or not objected to within ten days of the date of the
Change Order indicates his agreement therewith, including the adjustment in the Contract Sum
and/or the Contract Time. The Construction Manager will issue all contract Change Orders to the
Trade Contractor via www.iBidPro.com. The Trade Contractor shall establish contract and Change
Order signing authority in this system and shall electronically execute all Change Orders issued by
the Construction Manager.
31.1.2 If unit prices are stated in the Trade Contract Agreement or subsequently agreed upon, and if the
quantities originally contemplated are so changed in a proposed Change Request or Allowance that
application of the agreed unit prices to the quantities of Work proposed will cause substantial
inequity to the Owner, the Construction Manager, or the Trade Contractor, as determined by the
Construction Manager, the applicable unit prices may be equitably adjusted.

31.2 CONCEALED CONDITIONS
31.2.1 Should concealed or unknown conditions be encountered in the performance of the Work below the
surface of the ground or in an existing structure be at variance with the conditions indicated by the
Contract Documents, or should unknown physical conditions in an existing structure of an unusual
nature, differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent
in work of the character provided for in this Contract, be encountered, the Trade Contractor must
report the conditions to the Construction Manager before the conditions are disturbed. The
Construction Manager shall thereupon notify the Architect/Engineer. Upon such notices, or upon
his own observation of such conditions, the Architect/Engineer shall promptly make such changes in
the Drawings and Specifications as he finds necessary to conform to the different conditions. Any
change in the cost of the work or the time needed for completion resulting from concealed
conditions shall be determined in accordance with Article 8 in the Trade Contract provided a notice
there of is made within ten (10) days after the first observance of the conditions.
31.3 CLAIMS FOR ADDITIONAL COST
31.3.1 A change in the work may be initiated in one of three ways:
.1 A "Request for Quotation" Form from the Construction Manager to the Trade Contractor
describing the revision to the work desired. Usually, it is accompanied by revised drawings,
sketches or other data.
.2 Formal notification via RFI from the Trade Contractor documenting a "concealed or
unknown condition" requesting investigation by CM and A/E which causes changes in the
Drawings and Specifications (and a subsequent Request for Quotation on the revised
documents).
.3 In response to a Trade Contractor's "Request for Information", the Architect/Engineers'

response may include instructions which the Trade Contractor interprets as involving "extra
work". In such cases, the Trade Contractor must submit written notice within ten days of the
date of the answer to the RFI to the Construction Manager requesting review and issuance of
an appropriate Request for Quotation.
31.3.2 If an instruction is issued without an RFQ, the Trade Contractor has five (5) days to notify the
Construction Manager that the instruction involves extra cost and/or time. If it is determined by the
Construction Manager that the work involved in such instruction shall be recognized as an extra, an
RFQ shall be issued and the Trade Contractor shall have five (5) days to submit the quotation and
the amounts of additional compensation to be paid therefore, should be determined in accordance
with Article 8 in the Trade Contract. Failure to respond as noted shall waive the Trade Contractor's
claim for any additional compensation.
31.3.3 Changes in the work will have a distinctly numbered CR (Change Request) number for tracking
purposes on the Request for Quotation Form.
31.3.4 Requests for Quotations must be responded to within five (5) days with all required substantiation
documentation. Failure to respond in such time shall waive the Trade Contractor’s claim for any
additional compensation. Required substantiation documentation shall include at a minimum:
a. Change amount
b. Time extension, if any
c. Change to contract DBE amount

d. Trade Contractor signature
e. Trade Contractor company name
f. Date
g. Quantities of material and equipment required
h. Material and equipment supplier quotations
i. Labor hours multiplied by contractual labor rate
j. Quantities of unit price work multiplied by contractual unit prices
k. Applicable taxes
l. Markup per contract
m. Bond cost, if applicable
Additional foreman hours shall not be included unless additional crews are added and/or a
compensable time extension is granted.
Owned Equipment: (Used directly on the Work and by the Trade Contractors own forces). Daily rate
is not to exceed 3% of the monthly rental rate as identified by a nationally recognized construction
cost estimating guide or service.
Failure to provide all of the information described above will result in immediate rejection of the
Trade Contractor’s quotation. Any delay caused to the Project and/or other Trade Contractors by
non-conformance to these requirements is the responsibility of the Trade Contractor.
31.3.5 Any claim for damages of any character, delays for which the Owner or Construction Manager is
liable under the Contract Documents, extra work or extra compensation of any other nature, shall be
waived unless notice thereof is given to the Construction Manager, in writing, within 10 days after
the occurrence of the event which is relied upon to justify the claim or within such time as the event
should have reasonably been discovered by the Trade Contractor, and in any event, before extra cost
is incurred.
31.4 MINOR CHANGES IN THE WORK
31.4.1 The Architect/Engineer will have authority to order through the Construction Manager minor
changes in the Work not involving an adjustment in the Contract Sum or an extension of the
Contract Time and not inconsistent with the intent of the Contract Documents. Such changes shall
be effected by written instruction and such changes shall be binding on the Owner, the Construction
Manager, and the Trade Contractor. The Trade Contractor shall carry out such written orders
promptly.
31.5 TIME AND MATERIAL WORK
In the event a Trade Contractor is directed to proceed with a change, allowance or claim, on at time
and material basis, the Trade Contractor must keep and present to the Construction Manager an
itemized accounting together with supporting data, including Time and Material tickets. Time and
Material tickets will only be considered when the work noted on said tickets has been previously
authorized, in writing, by the Construction Manager. Any Time and Material tickets for work
completed by the Trade Contractor, in which the Construction Manager has not been notified and
has not agreed to track on a T&M basis, is done at the Trade Contractor’s expense. No
compensation will be made for such tickets. Also, all Time and Material work verification slips are
to be presented by the Trade Contractor to the Construction Manager on a DAILY BASIS, on the
SAME DAY the previously authorized work is performed. It is understood that the Construction
Manager’s sign-off on a T&M ticket is for verification of the time and materials expended and does

not alter the contractual obligations of the Trade Contractor and therefore does not indicate that a
change will be accepted or and Change Order issued.
ARTICLE 32 - UNCOVERING AND CORRECTION OF WORK
32.1 UNCOVERING OF WORK
32.1.1 If any portion of the Work should be covered prior to inspection, or contrary to the request, of the
Construction Manager or Architect/Engineer, or to requirements specifically expressed in the
Contract Documents, it must, if required in writing by the Construction Manager, be uncovered for
their observation and replaced, at the Trade Contractor's expense.
32.1.2 If any other portion of the Work has been covered which neither the Construction Manager nor the
Architect/Engineer has specifically requested to observe prior to being covered, the
Architect/Engineer or Construction Manager may request to see such Work and it shall be
uncovered by the Trade Contractor. If such Work be found in accordance with the Contract
Documents, the cost of uncovering and replacement shall, by appropriate Change Change Order, be
charged to the Owner or Construction Manager, as the case may be. If such Work be found not in
accordance with the Contract Documents, the Trade Contractor shall pay such costs unless it be
found that this condition was caused by a separate trade contractor employed as provided in Article
20, and in that event the separate trade contractor shall be responsible for the payment of such costs.
32.2 CORRECTION OF WORK
32.2.1 The Trade Contractor shall promptly correct all Work rejected by the Architect/Engineer or the
Construction Manager as defective or as failing to conform to the Contract Documents whether
observed before or after Substantial Completion and whether or not fabricated, installed or
completed. The Trade Contractor shall bear all costs of correcting such rejected Work, including
compensation for the Architect/Engineer's and/or Construction Manager's additional services made
necessary thereby.
32.2.2 If, within eighteen (18) months after the Date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated
portion thereof, or within eighteen (18) months after acceptance by the Owner of designated
equipment or within such longer period of time as may be prescribed by law or by the terms of any
applicable special warranty required by the Contract Documents, the Trade Contractor is notified of
defective work he shall correct it promptly. This obligation shall survive the termination of the
Contract. The Owner or Construction Manager shall give such notice promptly after discovery of
the condition.
32.2.3 The Trade Contractor shall remove from the site all portions of the Work which are defective or
nonconforming and which have not been corrected under Subparagraphs 8.1, 32.2.1 and 32.2.2,
unless removal has been waived by the Owner.
32.2.4 If the Trade Contractor fails to correct defective or nonconforming Work as provided in
Subparagraphs 8.1, 32.2.1 and 32.2.2, the Owner or Construction Manager may correct it in
accordance with Article 9 in the Trade Contract.
32.2.5 If the Trade Contractor does not proceed with the correction of such defective or nonconforming
work within a reasonable time fixed by written notice from the Construction Manager, the Owner or
Construction Manager may remove it and may store the materials or equipment at the expense of the

Trade Contractor. If the Trade Contractor does not pay the cost of such removal and storage within
ten days thereafter, the Owner or Construction Manager may upon ten additional days' written notice
sell such Work at auction or at private sale and shall account for the net proceeds thereof, after
deducting all the costs that should have been borne by the Trade Contractor, including compensation
for the Construction Manager's additional services made necessary thereby. If such proceeds of sale
do not cover all costs which the Trade Contractor should have borne, the difference shall be charged
to the Trade Contractor and an appropriate Change Order shall be issued. If the payments then or
thereafter due the Trade Contractor are not sufficient to cover such amount, the Trade Contractor
shall pay the difference to the Owner or Construction Manager.
32.2.6 The Trade Contractor shall bear the cost of making good all work of the Construction Manager or
other contractors destroyed or damaged by such removal or correction.
32.2.7 Nothing contained in this Paragraph 32.2 shall be construed to establish a period of limitation with

Documents. The establishment of the time period of eighteen (18) months after the Date of
Substantial Completion or such longer period of time as may be prescribed by law or by the terms of
any warranty required by the Contract Documents, relates only to the specific obligation of the
Trade Contractor to correct the Work, and has no relationship to the time within which his
obligation to comply with the Contract Documents may be sought to be enforced, nor to the time
within which proceedings may be commenced to establish the Trade Contractor's liability with
respect to his obligations other than specifically to correct the Work.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview
Gilbane Building Company (Sponsor) has elected to use a Contractor Controlled
Insurance Program (CCIP) for the State Office Building Renovations and New Parking
Garage (Project). Under such a program, the Sponsor purchases certain insurance
policies for protection of some (but not all) of the insurable risks that exist on a
construction project. The insurance purchased by the Sponsor will be endorsed to extend
coverage of the policy to any enrolled Subcontractors, or Sub-Subcontractors. All
Subcontractors and Sub-Subcontractors on the Project should carefully consider the
CCIP and its implications to their company before executing a contract requiring their
participation in the CCIP.
The CCIP provides the following insurance for all Subcontractors, regardless of tier, that
are approved for participation in the insurance program:
x Commercial General/ Excess Liability

x Workers’ Compensation
Certain Subcontractors are ineligible for this program. These parties are identified in the
Definitions, Section 5.2 of this manual.
The Sponsor will pay all insurance premiums for the CCIP coverage listed above. You
should notify your insurer(s) to delete from your insurance program charges and coverage
for the on-site activities of this Project that are covered under the CCIP.
Alliant, the CCIP Program Broker/Administrator, will be administering the program on the
behalf of the Sponsor.
Insurance coverage and limits provided under the CCIP are limited in scope and specific
to this project only. Your insurance representative should review this information. Any
additional coverage you may wish to purchase will be at your own expense.
The guidelines in this manual are to be used for informational purposes only. Any
conflict between this document and any contract or subcontract, the contract or
subcontract will govern. Any difference with the actual CCIP policies will control in
the event of any inconsistency or misunderstanding.

1.2 About this Manual
This manual is designed to identify, define, and assign responsibilities for the
administration of the CCIP. The guidelines in this manual are to be used for informational
purposes only.

1.3 Responsibilities Concerning Loss Control & Claim

Reporting
It will be the responsibility of all Subcontractors of any tier to exercise every reasonable
action to prevent work related injuries, property and equipment damage at the project
site, as well as to minimize the exposure of risk to the public and third party property. All
Subcontractors of any tier will conduct loss control prevention practices according to
those requirements set by Federal, State and Local Laws, statutes, and specific project
procedures developed for this project.
In the event of an accident, it will be the obligation of the responsible Subcontractor of

submitted to the CCIP Administrator prior to mobilization. Access to the project site will
not be permitted until the enrollment is complete.
Each Subcontractor of any tier shall provide details about its lower tier subcontractors to
the CCIP Administrator so that they may facilitate enrollment of all Sub-subcontractors as
well. Each Sub-subcontractor is responsible to complete their Enrollment online to obtain
coverage under the CCIP.
A separate online Enrollment is required for each Contract for which you are performing
Work; however, only one Workers’ Compensation policy will be issued for your firm.
In the event the Sponsor elects not to include a Subcontractor of any tier’s work under the

from the Project Site, including supervisory and clerical personnel on site.
Payroll shall be unburdened and allocated by Workers’ Compensation Classification(s),

and shall be reported on both a gross and net basis, as per the relevant state’s workers
compensation payroll reporting requirements. Subcontractors of all tiers shall limit the

Plan for Workers’ Compensation and Employers Liability Insurance. Each Participating
Subcontractor is required to participate in any audit conducted by the insurers for the
CCIP, and to cooperate with the auditor(s) conducting such audit.
4.7 Completion of Work

When a Participating Subcontractor has completed its work, each Participating
Subcontractor shall complete a Notice of Work Completion online and submit it to the
CCIP Administrator. The Sponsor will not release final payment until all required data has
been submitted to and approved by the CCIP Administrator. It is the upper-tier
Subcontractor’s responsibility to assure that each of their lower-tier subcontractors
completes this form. This form must be completed separately for each contract.
Any Subcontractor Claims Obligation that Subcontractors of any tier are responsible for
will be considered at the time of the Contract close-out unless the actual cost of the claim
has been established and considered prior to close-out.

4.8 Safety
Non-compliance with Project Loss Control Requirements could be considered to be the
same as non-compliance with another contractual condition. Minimum standards for
Subcontractor programs are outlined in the State Office Building Renovations and New
Parking Garage Project Safety Manual.
The Sponsor or its loss control representatives will have the right to “Stop Work” when
serious defective conditions, unsafe work activities, or life threatening hazards are
identified. In accordance with contract requirements, if deemed necessary, the Sponsor
may remove any subcontractor and/or subcontractor employees that blatantly violate
these requirements. The Sponsor, at its discretion, will designate an individual to act on
its behalf, in all matters relating to work site safety and health.

Foreman all must be informed of the modified alternate duty assignment, anticipated
length of alternate duty, and the restrictions.

documentation releasing them to their normal duties and presented to Construction
Manager’s Safety Manager.

GILBANE BUILDING COMPANY
State Office Building Renovations

and New Parking Garage
Certificate of Insurance and
Backup Documentation Checklist
Gilbane Building Company requires that all subcontractors submit an ACORD 25 form made out per
the project’s requirements, along with various documents from the sub’s insurance policies that serve
as evidence that the requirements are met in the policy as outlined on the certificate of insurance.
Before submitting your certificate of insurance for review, please ensure that you have included the
following:
Required Document
ACORD 25 Form made out per Project requirements
General Liability Additional Insured Endorsement CG 2010 11/85
General Liability Per Project Aggregate
General Liability Primary & Non-Contributory Endorsement
General Liability Waiver of Subrogation Endorsement
Auto Liability Additional Insured Endorsement
Workers Compensation Waiver of Subrogation Endorsement
Copies of any Exclusions on policy for any of the following: explosion,
collapse,underground hazards, wrap-up, or project specific, residential
work, or prior work
* Some required documents may or may not be endorsed to the insurance policy, and may be found
in the wording of the body of the policy itself.
The #1 reason that delays insurance approval is no
endorsements / incorrect endorsements provided!
What are endorsements / why are they required to be reviewed as part of the
subcontractor insurance requirements?
All insurance policies have “stock” policy forms that provide the basis or foundation of coverage. Most
policies are then modified via additional pages called endorsements to provide additional coverages
or to limit coverage. These “endorsements” act as an ad hoc method of adding to or deleting
coverage. There are no standard endorsements that apply across all coverages and all carriers.
Additional insured coverage, waiver of subrogation and primary and non-contributory coverage are
often provided via endorsements. Some endorsements will provide adequate coverage, while other
endorsements will provide inadequate coverage. Only by reviewing these endorsements can we
determine if the subcontractor’s insurance meets the contractual requirements.

I. FOREWORD
A. MANAGEMENT POLICY STATEMENT
The State Office Building and New Parking Garage Safety Plan embodies the policies and procedures for prevention
of injury, property damage, fire damage and occupational illness. It is our intention to commit each day to
maintaining an accident-free workplace. There is never an acceptable reason for compromising safety. This
document, the Gilbane contractor selection process and site field activities are all designed to support and reinforce
this goal.
No single feature of our work is of greater importance.
It is a joint State of Connecticut and Gilbane Building Company policy to provide a safe place to work at all times
and to conduct all operations in a manner as to provide protection for all individuals who might come into contact
with these operations. The Owner's employees, Gilbane Building Company employees, Contractor and
Subcontractor employees, and all others employed on this site, as well as anyone who comes on the site for any
reason during construction, are expected to conduct their work in a safe manner and are required to comply with
established safety programs. By contract, every Contractor on this site is obligated to perform all work in a safe
manner. By contract, every Contractor on this site is obligated to conform to the requirements of OSHA. When
applicable, contractors shall also conform to the requirements of the Federal Occupational Safety and Health act of
1970 (OSHA) and all additions and revisions thereto, as well as other applicable Federal, State and Local
requirements and the State Office Building & New Parking Garage Safety Plan.
All supervisory employees must accept their responsibility for the prevention of accidents and for conducting all
operations under their direction in a safe and efficient manner. The results of our safety efforts will affect our
overall success in constructing the Project. Our goal is Incident and Injury Free work and defect-free quality.
We know this is the most efficient method and that all individuals working on this Project will subscribe to the
Safety Plan. With the cooperation, dedication and assistance of everyone, this will be a successful and safe project.

notified so that an Opening Conference may be conducted. Gilbane will
organize an inspection party, consisting of both employer and employee
representatives.
vii. Notification of Hazards - Each Contractor shall notify Gilbane verbally
or in writing of the existence of any hazardous conditions, property, or
equipment at the work site which are not under the Contractor's control.
However, it is the Contractor's responsibility to take all necessary
precautions against injury until corrected by the responsible party.
viii. Equipment and Facilities - All Contractors operating equipment and
facilities used shall be, inspected, and maintained as directed by this
manual; as dictated by the applicable Federal and State safety and health
regulations. In the event of conflict, the more stringent requirement will

a. General Procedures
1) A copy of this section of the Project Safety Plan will be issued to all Contractors, and
will serve as notice by Gilbane that a work permit as specified by Gilbane is necessary
before starting any hazardous work activity.
2) The work permit shall be obtained from Gilbane before starting each day's work. The
procedures for initiating a hazardous work permit are listed on the permit application
appropriate to the type of work.
3) Hazardous work permits include – but are not limited to – the following activities: Hot
work, confined space entry, guardrail removal, line breaks, after-hours work, trenching
and excavation, crane use and barricade installation.
4) Due to special project conditions, additional job-specific hazardous work permits may
be required to be incorporated into the safety plan. Additional job-specific hazardous
work permits shall also be considered as a contract commitment.
b. Hot Work (Appendix E)
1) Hot work is defined as a process or procedure which could result in a fire if not
properly controlled. Common types of hot work are welding, burning, cutting,
brazing, soldering.
2) Hot work will usually be permitted only during normal working hours. Permits will be
issued the day before work is to be accomplished, and the work area will be inspected
to verify that adequate control has been established. A copy of the permit will be
available at the point of work. An adequate number of fire extinguishers will be
available within 50-feet of the point of work for which a permit is issued. The
Contractor will take the necessary precautions when welding or burning above walls to
assure that protection is maintained on both sides of the wall and that the areas below
are protected on multilevel buildings.
3) Inspection of the permit area one hour post-completion of hot work is required by the
contractor.
c. Confined Space (Appendix F)

1) When work in confined spaces is scheduled, such as a caisson, boiler, deep
excavations, etc., consideration must be given to two major known and recognized
hazards:
a) The possibility of fire or explosion, flammable gases, fumes, vehicle fumes,
vapors, or dusts.
b) The possibility of injury to the worker (or loss of consciousness) as a result of
inhalation or absorption through the skin of toxic materials or from oxygen
deficiency.
2) For work in a confined space, the responsibility for recognition and advance
notification is the Contractor's. The Project Superintendent will be notified and will
evaluate the situation, issuing a work permit in those cases for which he considers it
necessary. The Contractor will be responsible for providing equipment and special
instructions for the worker, such as ventilating units, respirators, safety belts, air
monitoring devices and life lines, etc., and for conformance to all applicable OSHA
standards.
3) It is required that the "buddy system” be used and that an observer tend to all of the
workers in a confined space. Rescue procedures should be agreed upon beforehand.
d. Guard Rail Opening
1) Work which requires the opening of guard rails or the removal of holes covers to be
performed shall be approved in advance by the Project Superintendent. Particular
attention shall be given to the alternate means of fall protection which will be required
to safely perform the work and protect other workers in the vicinity of the fall
exposure. Specific plans for providing alternate fall protection shall be described in
the request for the work permit.
e. Off-Hours Work
1) The Project Superintendent and the Project Safety Coordinator shall approve work,
which is required to be performed outside normal working hours established at the site,
in advance. Any work occurring within the existing Owner facility shall be at the
convenience of the Owner, and shall comply with all conditions imposed by the
contract specifications and the work permit issued by the Project Safety Coordinator or
other persons identified by the Owner.
57. Owner Requirements

APPENDIX M – GILBANE STRETCH AND FLEX PROGRAM - EXAMPLE

APPENDIX N – INJURY MANAGEMENT AND RETURN TO WORK PROCEDURES
Purpose:
The purpose of our Injury Management & Return-to-Work Program is to provide direction for our
Specialty contractor supervisors to assist their injured employees in early rehabilitation of their injury and
faster return to the full-duty work force without jeopardizing medical recuperation.
The following procedures provides direction for Contractor supervisors to follow for an effective and
efficient Return-to-Work Program that meets State laws in Workers' Compensation, as well as
discrimination laws for accommodation of handicapped persons.
Modified duty jobs are designed for injured workers only. They are temporary alternatives for full-duty
work. A time limit of six (6) weeks should be considered maximum for this assignment. An evaluation
of the employee's medical condition on a bi-weekly basis and extension of the modified duty assignment
will be on a case-by-case basis. If the employee cannot be released to full-duty status, the modified duty
job is re-evaluated and a determination made regarding the need to refer the employee for rehabilitation
services.
Good injury management practices can save injured employees money and jobs, reduce insurance costs to
employers, and maximize the productivity of the project.
Setting up project for Injury management program;
Identify Occupational clinic:

At Project Award, the Gilbane BU Safety Manager or Project Manager shall advise Liz Millette of
Gilbane Insurance group of project location.
Liz Millette will advise as to the contact info for the designated Occupational health clinic
Meet with Occupational clinic:

Gilbane Project Manager and Safety manager will meet with administrators of Occupational clinic and
provide our contact information, advise of the project’s Return to Work and injury management
procedure.
Modified Duty assignments:

Contractor Supervisors shall develop potential modified (aka ‘light’) duty assignments in advance. In
developing Modified Duty assignments it is recommended to:
 Identify ways to modify existing job duties that meet medical restrictions.
 Indicate physical requirements for job tasks (bending, stooping, sitting, standing, weight / force
required to complete task).
 Focus on what the employee can do rather than the tasks that cannot be done.
The injured worker’s Supervisor and Gilbane Superintendent or Safety manager will advise the treating
physician of the project’s Return to Work policy, discuss the employees duties and available modified
duty assignments, and work with the Physician for specific work limitations consistent with modified
duty assignments available. Modified duty assignments shall be within the physicians orders, and in
accord with Union trade jurisdiction, (if applicable). See list below.

Align with local Hospital E.D.:
Have the designated Occupational clinic meet with the local Hospital Emergency Department director to
ensure that the E.R. physicians send notification of any employee injury treated in the E.D., to the
Occupational Clinic for follow up.
Injury treatment determination:
o For life threatening and serious injuries or debilitating medical conditions (disabling and
traumatic injuries, such as those associated with seizures, dizziness, unconsciousness, severe
bleeding, severe burns, shock, etc), 911 shall be called and EMS shall transport the injured
to the nearest Hospital.
o For minor injuries requiring ‘first aid’ treatment, as defined below (example: for minor
strains, pain, lacerations and burns), injured workers shall be accompanied by their
Supervisor and, if possible, a Gilbane Superintendent or Safety manager for treatment to the
designated Occupational Clinic.
General Return To Work Procedures
Each Contractor of any tier is responsible for implementing this Injury management and Return-to-Work
Procedure on the project. Work that is assigned to their injured employees must be within the physical
restrictions specified by the physician. If the medical release is unclear, please contact the physician and
review with Contractor's own insurance company administrator and Gilbane Superintendent or Safety
Manager.
Modified duty jobs are designed for injured workers only. They are temporary alternatives for full-duty
work. A time limit of six (6) weeks should be considered maximum for this assignment. An evaluation
of the employee's medical condition on a bi-weekly basis and extension of the modified duty assignment
will be on a case-by-case basis. If the employee cannot be released to full-duty status, the modified duty
job is re-evaluated and a determination made regarding the need to refer the employee for rehabilitation
services.

Injury treatment recommendations:

The injured workers Supervisor and Gilbane Superintendent or Safety Manager will review the following
list of ‘first aid’ treatments with the treating medical professional, or Project Emergency Medical
Technician, if assigned, so that the treating medical professional can make an informed decision when
administering needed treatment.
According to OSHA Recordkeeping regulation 1904.7(b)(5)(ii), a "first aid" means the following:
A First Aid Injury is an injury that requires a single first aid treatment and a follow up visit for
subsequent observation involving only minor injuries, for example minor scratches, burns, cuts and so
forth, which do not ordinarily require medical care, and for which the person would typically return
immediately to their normal activities. Such treatment and observation is considered first aid even if it is
administered by a physician or registered medical professional.
Typical treatments normally considered as First Aid Injuries include:
• Application of antiseptics during a first visit to medical personnel;

• Treatment of minor (first degree) burns;
• Application of bandages (including elastic bandages) during a first visit to medical personnel;
• Irrigation of eye injuries and removal of non-embedded objects;
• Removal of foreign bodies from a wound using tweezers or other simple first aid technique;

• Use of non-prescription medication and administration of a single dose of prescription medication
on a first visit to medical personnel for minor injury or discomfort.
• Soaking, application of hot-cold compresses, and use of elastic bandage on sprains immediately
after injury (initial treatment only);
• Application of ointments for abrasions to prevent drying or cracking;
• One time administration of oxygen, for example after exposure to toxic atmosphere; and
• Observations of injury during visits to medical personnel, including hospitalization (for less than
48 hours) for observation only for a blow to the head or abdomen, or exposure to toxic
substances.
• Using a non-prescription medication at nonprescription strength (for medications available in
both prescription and non-prescription form, a recommendation by a physician or other licensed
health care professional to use a non-prescription medication at prescription strength is
considered medical treatment for recordkeeping purposes);
• Administering tetanus immunizations (other immunizations, such as Hepatitis B vaccine or rabies
vaccine, are considered medical treatment);
• Cleaning, flushing or soaking wounds on the surface of the skin;
• Using wound coverings such as bandages, Band-Aids™, gauze pads, etc.; or using butterfly
bandages or Steri-Strips™ (other wound closing devices such as sutures, staples, or medical
glues, etc., are considered medical treatment);
• Using hot or cold therapy;
• Using any non-rigid means of support, such as elastic bandages, wraps, non-rigid back belts, etc.
(devices with rigid stays or other systems designed to immobilize parts of the body are considered
medical treatment for recordkeeping purposes);
• Using temporary immobilization devices while transporting an accident victim (e.g., splints,
slings, neck collars, back boards, etc.).
• Drilling of a fingernail or toenail to relieve pressure, or draining fluid from a blister;
• Using eye patches;
• Removing foreign bodies from the eye using only irrigation or a cotton swab;
• Removing splinters or foreign material from areas other than the eye by irrigation, tweezers,
cotton swabs or other simple means;
• Using finger guards;
• Drinking fluids for relief of heat stress.
The following are typical examples of diagnostic/preventive procedures that may also be
classified as a First Aid Injury:
• X-ray examination with a negative diagnosis (will be ‘MTI’ if positive);

• Physical examination, if no condition is identified or medical treatment is not administered; and
• One time dose of prescribed medication, for example a Tetanus Injection or Pharmaceutical.
Injury Reporting:
Workers; Report all injuries to your Supervisor immediately and comply with project requirements for
injury treatment, and provide physicians treatment recommendations related to prescriptions or limitations
that could affect your work assignment to your Supervisor.

Contractor supervisors: Report all injuries to Gilbane immediately and provide all related investigation
and relevant treatment reports.
OSHA Injury Reporting:

General Contractors, Construction Managers and Gilbane shall report to OSHA:
 All work-related fatalities* within 8 hours. AND
 All work-related inpatient hospitalizations**, all amputations and all losses of an eye within 24
hours.
(Note: Report to OSHA by calling OSHA's number at 1-800-321-OSHA (6742), or, calling your closest
Area Office during normal business hours.
*Only fatalities occurring within 30 days of the work-related incident must be reported to OSHA.
**In-patient hospitalization, amputation or loss of an eye, must be reported to OSHA only if they occur
within 24 hours of the work-related incident.
Employers reporting a fatality, in-patient hospitalization, amputation or loss of an eye to OSHA must
report the following information:
 Establishment name
 Location of the work-related incident
 Time of the work-related incident

Employers do not have to report an event if it:
 Resulted from a motor vehicle accident on a public street or highway, except in a construction work
zone; employers must report the event if it happened in a construction work zone.
 Occurred on a commercial or public transportation system (airplane, subway, bus, ferry, street car,
light rail, train).
 Occurred more than 30 days after the work-related incident in the case of a fatality or more than 24
hours after the work-related incident in the case of an in-patient hospitalization, amputation, or loss of
an eye.
Employers do not have to report an in-patient hospitalization if it was for diagnostic testing or observation
only. An in-patient hospitalization is defined as a formal admission to the in-patient service of a hospital
or clinic for care or treatment.

Employers do have to report an in-patient hospitalization due to a heart attack, if the heart attack resulted
from a work-related incident.

LETTERS OF UNDERSTANDING
The parties have agreed to the following matters:
Both parties recognize that the assignment of the following work has been claimed and continues to
be claimed by multiple craft Unions and agree that Employers may assign said work to employees
covered under various Agreements including employees under the terms of this Agreement. In the
event of a dispute, the dispute shall be decided under Article III, Section 9 of the Agreement.
• Stripping of flat arches;

Metal curb, sidewalk and gutter forms;
• Erection and assembly of metal bin walls;
• When the pile work is performed by a contractor performing work on the contract other than
solely the piles, positioning, placing and pouring of concrete into pipe piles, shell piles and
monotube piling by any method, except that tremi-pours in piles which the parties agree are
in the trade jurisdiction of the pile drivers;
• Unloading, handling, setting and connecting together of self-service refrigerated and frozen
food display cases, and freezers regardless of materials;
• Load Cells; and
• Repair and maintenance of pneumatic hammers and leads at the jobsite.
Locker Installation and Fire Stopping Work
The Union agrees that it will not file subcontract grievances related to the assignment of locker
installation or fire stopping work.
Concrete, Asphalt and Aggregate Plants
All references to commercial concrete batch plants, asphalt batch plants, and aggregate producing
plants including sand and gravel plants are excluded from the provisions of Article III of this
Agreement.
Dismantling
This letter concerns the meaning and application of the term "dismantle" under Article III, Trade
Jurisdiction of the proposed collective bargaining agreement to be effective May 1, 2014 through
April30, 2018.
It was explicitly agreed during negotiations for this agreement that the word "dismantle" means the
removal of material that will be reused. The use of the word "dismantle" connotes that the work
described is to be performed by employees under this Agreement.
Cell Phones
Except for emergencies or for Company or Union business, employees shall be prohibited from the
unauthorized use of cell phones or other electronic devices while on work time or in company
vehicles or equipment.
45

If the National Labor Relations Board declines to defer the processing of an unfair labor practice
charge due to the fact that the Union can engage in a work stoppage in response to an Employer's
failure to comply with an arbitration award, the Union and Employer will request jointly in writing
that the right to engage in a work stoppage not be the basis for the Board declining to defer to
arbitration.

Principal Labor Agreement
Agreement by and between the Connecticut Chapter, National Electrical Contractors

Association, Inc. (NECA), and Local Union No. 35, I.B.E.W.
It shall apply to all firms who sign a Letter of Assent to be bound by the terms of this
Agreement.
As used hereinafter in this Agreement, the term “Chapter” shall mean the Connecticut
Chapter of NECA, and the term “Union” shall mean Local Union No. 35, I.B.E.W.
The term “Employer” shall mean an individual firm who has been recognized by an
assent to this Agreement.
Basic Principals
The Employer and the Union have a common and sympathetic interest in the Electrical
Industry. Therefore, a working system and harmonious relations are necessary to
improve the relationship between the Employer, the Union and the Public. Progress in
industry demands a mutuality of confidence between the Employer and the Union. All
will benefit by continuous peace and by adjusting any differences by rational common
sense methods. Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises and
agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows.
Article I
Effective Date – Changes – Grievances - Disputes
Section 1.01 This agreement shall take effect June 1, 2014, and shall remain in effect
until May 31, 2018 unless otherwise specifically provided for herein. It shall continue in
effect from year to year thereafter, from June 01, through May 31 of each year, unless
changed or terminated in the way later provided herein.
Section 1.02 (a) Either party or an Employer withdrawing representation from the
Chapter or not represented by the Chapter, desiring to change or terminate this
agreement must provide written notification at least 90 days prior to the expiration date
of the Agreement or any anniversary date occurring thereafter.
(b) Whenever notice is given for changes, the nature of the changes desired must be
specified in the notice, or no later than the first negotiating meeting unless mutually
agreed otherwise.
(c) The existing provisions of the agreement, including this Article, shall remain in full
force and effect until a conclusion is reached in the matter of proposed changes.
3
(d) Unresolved issues or disputes arising out of the failure to negotiate a renewal or
modification of this agreement that remain on the 20th of the month preceding the next
regular meeting of the Council on Industrial Relations for the Electrical Contracting
Industry (CIR) may be submitted jointly or unilaterally to the Council for adjudication.
Such unresolved issues or disputes shall be submitted no later than the next regular
meeting of the Council following the expiration date of this agreement or any
subsequent anniversary date. The Council’s decision shall be final and binding.
(e) When a case has been submitted to the Council, it shall be the responsibility of the
negotiating committee to continue to meet weekly in an effort to reach a settlement on
the local level prior to the meeting of the Council.
(f) Notice of a desire to terminate this Agreement shall be handled in the same manner
as a proposed change.
Section 1.03 This Agreement shall be subject to change or supplement at any time by
mutual consent of the parties hereto. Any such change or supplement agreed upon
shall be reduced to writing, signed by the parties hereto, and submitted to the
International Office of the IBEW for approval, the same as this Agreement.
Section 1.04 There shall be no stoppage of work either by strike or lockout because of
any proposed changes in this Agreement or dispute over matters relating to this
Agreement. All such matters must be handled as stated herein.
Section 1.05 There shall be a Labor-Management Committee of three representing

the Union and three representing the Employers. It shall meet regularly at such stated
times as it may decide. However, it shall also meet within 48 hours when notice is given
by either party. It shall select its own Chairman and Secretary. The Local Union shall
select the Union representatives and the Chapter shall select the management
representatives.
Section 1.06 All grievances or questions in dispute shall be adjusted by the duly
authorized representatives of each of the parties to this Agreement. In the event that
these two are unable to adjust any matter within 48 hours, they shall refer the same to
the Labor-Management Committee.
Section 1.07 All matters coming before the Labor-Management Committee shall be
decided by majority vote. Four members of the Committee, two from each of the parties
hereto, shall be a quorum for the transaction of business, but each party shall have the
right to cast the full vote of its membership and it shall be counted as though all were
present and voting.
4
Section 1.08 Should the Labor-Management Committee fail to agree or to adjust any
matter, such shall then be referred to the Council on Industrial Relations for the
Electrical Contracting Industry for adjudication. The Council’s decision shall be final and
binding.
Section 1.09 When any matter in dispute has been referred to conciliation or
arbitration for adjustment, the provisions and conditions prevailing prior to the time such
matter arose shall not be changed or abrogated until agreement has been reached or a
ruling has been made.
Article II
Employer Rights - Union Rights
Section 2.01 Any electrician while employed as a contractor operating under the terms
of this Agreement shall not perform electrical contracting work.
Section 2.02 The Union agrees that if, during the life of this Agreement, it grants to
any other Employer in the Electrical Contracting Industry on work covered by this
Agreement, any better terms or conditions than those set forth in this Agreement, such
better terms or conditions shall be made available to the Employer under this
Agreement and the Union shall immediately notify the Employer of any such
concessions.
Section 2.03 The Employer recognizes the Union as the exclusive representative of all
its employees performing work within the jurisdiction of the Union for the purposes of
collective bargaining in respect to rates of pay, wages, hours of employment and other
conditions of employment. All employees covered by this Agreement who are members
of the Union on the effective date of this Agreement, shall as a condition of employment,
maintain their membership in the Union during the term of this Agreement and all
employees who become members of the Union shall as a condition of employment,
maintain their membership in the Union during the term of this Agreement from and
after the thirty-first day following their employment or the effective date of this
Agreement, whichever is later.
Section 2.04 Certain qualifications, including but not limited to the following
knowledge, experience and financial responsibility are required of everyone desiring to
be an Employer in the Electrical Industry. An Employer who contracts for electrical work
must be a person, firm or corporation maintaining a permanent place of business. This
place of business shall not be connected with or be a part of domestic or residential
5
establishment with a business telephone and open to the public during normal business
hours. It is further understood that an Employer is an individual, partnership or
corporation, or is a full time Executive Employee, engaged in Electrical Contracting
within the jurisdiction of Local Union #35. The Employer must have a suitable financial
status to meet payroll requirements and must meet compensation requirements and
must employ not less than one (1) Journeyman continuously. The Employer may work
with the tools in the capacity of a Journeyman-Wireman, in certain instances and in
case of an employer partnership only one partner will be allowed to work with tools.
Section 2.05 The Union understands the Employer is responsible to perform the work
required by the owner. The Employer shall, therefore, have no restrictions, except
those specifically provided for in the collective bargaining agreement, in planning,
directing, and controlling the operation of all his work, in deciding the number and kind
of employees to properly perform the work, in hiring and laying off employees, in
transferring employees from job to job within the Local Union’s geographical jurisdiction,
in determining the need and number as well as the person who will act as Foreman, in
requiring all employees to observe the Employer’s and/or owner’s rules and regulations
not inconsistent with this Agreement, in requiring all employees to observe all safety
regulations, and in discharging employees for proper cause.
Section 2.06 For all employees covered by this Agreement, the Employer shall carry
Workmen’s Compensation Insurance with a company authorized to do business in the
State of Connecticut, Social Security and such other protective insurance as may be
required by the laws of the State of Connecticut and shall furnish satisfactory proof of
such to the Union through filing with the Union annually, photostat copies of protective
insurance along with proof of payment of such insurance. The individual Employer shall
also make contributions to the Connecticut Unemployment Compensation Commission.
Additionally, all vehicles that are owned, leased, or used by the Employer shall be
insured. The Employer shall also furnish to the Union a certificate of Insurance for
coverage of such employees.
Section 2.07 The Union reserves the right to discipline its members for violation of its
laws, rules, and agreements.
Section 2.08 This Agreement does not deny the right of the Union or its
representatives to render assistance to other labor organizations by removal of its
members from jobs when necessary and when the Union or its proper representative
decide to do so; but no removal shall take place until notice is first given to the
Employer involved.
6
Section 2.09 When such a removal takes place, the Union or its representatives shall
direct the workmen on such jobs to carefully put away all tools, material, equipment or
any other property of the Employer in a safe manner. The Union will be financially
responsible for any loss to the Employer for neglect in carrying out this provision, but
only when a safe place is provided for these by the Employer.
Section 2.10 An Employer signatory to a collective bargaining agreement or to a letter

of assent to an agreement with another IBEW Local Union, who signs an assent to this
Agreement, may bring up to four bargaining unit employees employed in that Local
Union’s jurisdiction into this Local’s jurisdiction and up to two bargaining unit employees
per job from that Local’s jurisdiction to this Local’s jurisdiction for specialty or service
and maintenance work. All charges of violations of this section shall be considered as a
dispute and shall be processed in accordance with the provisions of this agreement for
the handling of grievances with the exception that any decision of a local labor-
management committee that may be contrary to the intent of the parties to the National
Agreement on Employee Portability, upon recommendation of either or both the
appropriate IBEW International Vice President or NECA Regional Executive Director, is
subject to review, modification, or rescission by the Council on Industrial Relations.
Section 2.11 The Local Union is a part of the International Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers and any violation or annulment by an individual Employer of the approved
Agreement of this or any other Local Union of the IBEW, other than violations of
Paragraph 2 of this Section, will be sufficient cause for the cancellation of this
Agreement by the Local Union after a finding has been made by the International
President of the Union that such a violation or annulment has occurred.
The subletting, assigning or transfer by an individual Employer of any work in

connection with electrical work to any person, firm or corporation not recognizing the
IBEW or one of its Local Unions as the collective bargaining representative of his
employees on any electrical work in the jurisdiction of this or any other Local Union to
be performed at the site of the construction, alteration, painting, or repair of a building,
structure, or any work, will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement.
All charges of violations of Paragraph 2 of this Section shall be considered as a dispute

and shall be processed in accordance with the provision of this Agreement covering the
procedure for the handling of grievances and the final and binding resolution of
disputes.
Section 2.12 Except for the license fee that may be required of Journeyman
Electricians by the State of Connecticut, the Employer agrees to reimburse the
employee for the cost of any other license necessary to enable him to perform work for
the Employer in other cities or towns within the jurisdiction of the Union and for renewals
when work for the Employer extends beyond the expiration of original license.
7
Section 2.13 (a) The Union has the right to appoint a Steward to any shop, or on any
job where workmen are employed under the terms of this Agreement. The Steward
shall be assigned regular working duties by the Employer. Under no circumstances
shall the Steward be discriminated against by any Employer or his representative for the
faithful performance of his duties as Steward. The Union agrees that, when such
Steward is appointed or changes, the Employer shall be notified in writing, stating the
Steward’s name and shop, or job to which he is appointed. The Employers will notify
the Local Union Business Manager eight (8) working hours prior to termination or
transfer of a Steward.
(b) The Job Steward, appointed by the Business Manager shall be the last journeyman
wireman on the job, with the exception of the job foreman or employees working for the
shop prior to start of job.

Section 4.06 If the registration list is exhausted and the Local Union is unable to refer
applicants for employment to the Employer within 48 hours from the time of receiving
the Employer’s request, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays excepted, the Employer shall
be free to secure applicants without using the Referral Procedure but such applicants, if
hired, shall have the status of “temporary employees”.
Section 4.07 The Employer shall notify the Business Manager promptly of the names
and Social Security numbers of such “temporary employees” and shall replace such
“temporary employees” as soon as registered applicants for employment are available

intervals of time for examinations are specified as ninety (90) days. An applicant shall
be eligible for examination if he has four years’ experience in the trade.
Section 4.11 The Union shall maintain an “Out of Work List” which shall list the
applicants within each Group in chronological order of the dates they register their
availability for employment.
Section 4.12 An Applicant who has registered on the “Out of Work List” must renew
his application every thirty (30) days or his name will be removed from the list.
Section 4.13 An applicant who is hired and who receives, through no fault of his own,

place within his group.
Section 4.14(a) Employers shall advise the Business Manager of the Local Union of
the number of applicants needed. The Business Manager shall refer applicants to the
Employer by first referring applicants in Group I in the order of their place on the “Out of

refer the first applicant on the register satisfying the applicable age requirements
provided, however, that all names in higher priority groups, if any, shall first be
exhausted before such overage reference can be made.
Section 4.16 An Appeals Committee is hereby established composed of one member

appointed by the Union, one member appointed by the Employer or by the Association,
as the case may be, and a public member appointed by both these members.

to the local apprenticeship and training trust. An equal number of members (either 3 or
4) shall be appointed, in writing, by the local chapter of the National Electrical
Contractors Association (NECA) and the local union of the International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers (IBEW).
The local apprenticeship standards shall be in conformance with national guideline

standards and industrial policies to ensure that each apprentice has satisfactorily
completed the NJATC required hours and course of study. All apprenticeship standards
shall be registered with the NJATC before being submitted to the appropriate
registration agency.
The JATC shall be responsible for the training of apprentices, journeymen, installers,
technicians, and all others (unindentured, intermediate journeymen, etc.)
Section 5.02 All JATC member appointments, re-appointments and acceptance of

appointments shall be in writing. Each member shall be appointed for a 3 year term,
unless being appointed for a lesser period of time to complete an unexpired term. The
terms shall be staggered, with one (1) term from each side expiring each year. JATC
members shall complete their appointed term unless removed for cause by the party
they represent or they voluntarily resign. All vacancies shall be filled immediately.
The JATC shall select from its membership, but not both from the same party, a
Chairman and a Secretary who shall retain voting privileges. The JATC will maintain
one (1) set of minutes for JATC committee meetings and a separate set of minutes for
Trust meetings.
The JATC should meet on a monthly basis, and also upon the call of the Chairman.
Section 5.03 Any issue concerning an apprentice or an apprenticeship matter shall be

referred to the JATC for its review, evaluation and resolve; as per standards and
policies. If the JATC deadlocks on any issue, the matter shall be referred to the Labor-
Management Committee for resolution as outlined in Article I of this agreement; except
for trust fund matters, which shall be resolved as stipulated in the local trust instrument.
Section 5.04 There shall be only one (1) JATC and one (1) local apprenticeship and
training trust. The JATC may, however, establish joint subcommittees to meet specific
needs, such as residential or telecommunication apprenticeship. The JATC may also
establish a subcommittee to oversee an apprenticeship program within a specified area
of the jurisdiction covered by this agreement.
All subcommittee members shall be appointed, in writing, by the party they represent. A
subcommittee member may or may not be a member of the JATC.
21
Section 5.05 The JATC may select and employ a part-time or a full-time Training
Director and other support staff, as it deems necessary. In considering the
qualifications, duties and responsibilities of the Training Director, the JATC should
review the Training Director’s Job Description provided by the NJATC. All employees
of the JATC shall serve at the pleasure and discretion of the JATC.
Section 5.06 To help ensure diversity of training, provide reasonable continuous
employment opportunities and comply with apprenticeship rules and regulations, the
JATC, as the program sponsor, shall have full authority for issuing all job training
assignments and for transferring apprentices from one employer to another. The
employer shall cooperate in providing apprentices with needed work experiences.
The local union referral office shall be notified, in writing, of all job training assignments.
If the employer is unable to provide reasonable continuous employment for apprentices,
the JATC is to be so notified.
Section 5.07 All apprentices shall enter the program through the JATC as provided for
in the registered apprenticeship standards and selection procedures.
An apprentice may have their indenture canceled by the JATC at any time prior to
completion as stipulated in the registered standards. Time worked and accumulated in
apprenticeship shall not be considered for local union referral purposes until the
apprentice has satisfied all conditions of apprenticeship. Individuals terminated from
apprenticeship shall not be assigned to any job in any classification, or participate in any
related training, unless they are reinstated in apprenticeship as per the standards, or
they qualify through means other than apprenticeship, at sometime in the future, but no
sooner than two years after their class has completed apprenticeship, and they have
gained related knowledge and job skills to warrant such classification.
Section 5.08 The JATC shall select and indenture a sufficient number of apprentices
to meet local manpower needs. The JATC is authorized to indenture the number of
apprentices necessary to meet the job site ratio as per Section 5.12.
Section 5.09 Though the JATC cannot guarantee any number of apprentices; if a
qualified employer requests an apprentice, the JATC shall make every effort to honor
the request. If unable to fill the request within ten (10) working days, the JATC shall
select and indenture the next available person from the active list of qualified applicants.
An active list of qualified applicants shall be maintained by the JATC as per the
selection procedures.
Section 5.10 To accommodate short-term needs when apprentices are unavailable,

the JATC shall assign unindentured workers who meet the basic qualifications for
22
apprenticeship. Unindentured workers shall not remain employed if apprentices become
available for OJT assignment. Unindentured workers shall be used to meet job site
ratios except on wage and hour (prevailing wage) job sites.
Before being employed, the unindentured person must sign a letter of understanding
with the JATC and the employer - agreeing that they are not to accumulate more than
two thousand (2,000) hours as an unindentured, that they are subject to replacement by
indentured apprentices and that they are not to work on wage and hour (prevailing
wage) job sites.
Should an unindentured worker be selected for apprenticeship, the JATC will determine,
as provided for in the apprenticeship standards, if some credit for hours worked as an
unindentured will be applied toward the minimum OJT hours of apprenticeship.
The JATC may elect to offer voluntary related training to unindentured; such as Math
Review, English, Safety, Orientation / Awareness, Introduction to OSHA, First-Aid and
CPR. Participation shall be voluntary.
Section 5.11 The Employer shall contribute to the local health and welfare plans and
to the National Electrical Benefit Fund (NEBF) on behalf of all apprentices and
unindentured. Contributions to other benefit plans may be addressed in other sections
of this agreement.

three (3) Journeyman Wiremen.
Number of Journeymen Maximum Number of Apprentices/Unindentured

1 to 3 2
4 to 6 4
etc. etc.
The first person assigned to any job site shall be a Journeyman Wireman.
A job site is considered to be the physical location where employees report for their
work assignments. The employer’s shop (service center) is considered to be a separate,
single job site. All other physical locations where workers report for work are each
considered to be a single, separate job site.
Section 5.13 An apprentice is to be under the supervision of a Journeyman Wireman

at all times. This does not imply that the apprentice must always be in sight of a
Journeyman Wireman. Journeymen are not required to constantly watch the apprentice.
Supervision will not be of a nature that prevents the development of responsibility and
initiative. Work may be laid out by the employer’s designated supervisor or journeyman
23
based on their evaluation of the apprentice’s skills and ability to perform the job tasks.
Apprentices shall be permitted to perform job tasks in order to develop job skills and
trade competencies. Journeymen are permitted to leave the immediate work area
without being accompanied by the apprentice.
Apprentices who have satisfactorily completed the first four years of related classroom
training using the NJATC curriculum and accumulated a minimum of 6,500 hours of
OJT with satisfactory performance, shall be permitted to work alone on any job site and
receive work assignments in the same manner as a Journeyman Wireman.
An apprentice shall not be the first person assigned to a job site and apprentices shall
not supervise the work of others.
Section 5.14 Upon satisfactory completion of apprenticeship, the JATC shall issue all
graduating apprentices an appropriate diploma from the NJATC. The JATC shall
encourage each graduating apprentice to apply for college credit through the NJATC.
The JATC may also require each Apprentice to acquire any electrical license required
for journeymen to work in the jurisdiction covered by this Agreement.
Section 5.15 The parties to this agreement shall be bound by the Local Joint
Apprenticeship and Training Trust Fund Agreement which shall conform to Section 302
of the Labor-Management Relations Act of 1947 as amended, ERISA and other
applicable regulations.
The Trustees authorized under this Trust Agreement are hereby empowered to
determine the reasonable value of any facilities, materials or services furnished by
either party. All funds shall be handled and disbursed in accordance with the Trust
Agreement.
Section 5.16 All Employers subject to the terms of this Agreement shall contribute
the amount of funds specified by the parties signatory to the local apprenticeship and
training trust agreement. The current rate of contribution is stated in the “Attachment
A”. This sum shall be due the Trust Fund by the same date as is their payment to the
NEBF under the terms of the Restated Employees Benefit Agreement and Trust.

25
Collective Bargaining Agreement per man, per hour, for each straight time hour worked.

whole amount due shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum until
paid. The Employer shall also be liable for all costs of collecting the payment together
with attorneys’ fees.

f) In the event an Employer still fails to pay the delinquent contributions, the Fund
Administrator shall refer a list of all delinquencies to legal counsel for collection. Legal
counsel shall send the delinquent employer a second written notice, advising the
Employer that the contributions and remittance reports must be received immediately and
that in addition, the Employer may now be liable for interest, liquidated damages,
attorney’s fees and court costs and disbursements incurred in collecting the delinquency.
Additionally, the Employer will be liable for any and all health claims incurred by the
employees of the Employer during the period of the delinquency.
g) In addition to all other remedies under this Agreement, the Trustees, at their discretion,
may pursue other remedies including, but not limited to, arbitration and the filing of a
lawsuit in federal court. The Employer's liability for payment hereunder shall not be
subject to the grievance arbitration procedure or the "no strike", clause provided under
the Trade Agreement.
18

h) In the event legal proceedings are instituted, in addition to the delinquency, the following
are collectible:
 INTEREST IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FUND POLICY

 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AT THE RATE OF 20%
 COSTS AND DISBURSEMENTS INCLUDING AUDIT FEES IF
APPLICABLE
 ATTORNEY’S FEES
i) If the remittance reports indicate an over-payment, the Employer shall receive a credit for
same upon the submission of appropriate documentation in support thereof along with a
written request. The Trustees have discretion to deny a request for return of an
overpayment that is later than one-year from an over-payment.
j) Whenever the Employer is in default of the payments to the Local 262 Funds referred to
in this Article and reasonable notice of such default is given to the Employer, the Union
may remove its members from the work of such Employer if the payments are not made.
If such members who are removed remain at the job site during regular working hours,
they shall be paid for lost time not to exceed two (2) days' pay.
Section 2- Bonding
All Employers doing work in the jurisdiction of Local 262, except for PLA (Project Labor
Agreement) work, must be bonded in the following manner:
Number of Members of Bargaining Unit Employed Amount of Bond/Cash Equivalent
1 to 10 $50,000
11 to 20 $100,000
Over 20 $150,000
The Union and/or Fund Trustees reserve the right to impose a higher bonding requirement based
on the projected work on a particular job or the projected work of the employer generally.
Employers shall be bonded in sufficient amounts to guarantee all Fringe Benefits, if found to be
delinquent. If an employer is unable to secure bonding, monies equivalent to the amount of the
bonding originally required, shall be deposited with the Benefit Funds.
If an Employer is a member in the P.S.F.C. N.Y. or Plastering & Spray Fireproofing Contractors
of Greater New York Associations that Employer shall not be required to post a bond provided:
i) they are a member in good standing, ii) Employer has designated the Association to act as its
collective bargaining representative for the contract term, iii) Employer’s payroll records have
been audited by the Fund’s auditor when requested, iv) Employer’s most recent audit does not
show a material discrepancy. (If a material discrepancy is found and not resolved within 60 days
or otherwise agreed by Trustees, the Association Employer may be required to post a bond.)
19

Section 3
The Employer recognizes that when payment of fringe benefit contributions pursuant to
this Agreement is made by check or other negotiable instrument, which is returned uncollected,
the Local 262 Funds incur additional cost and expense. The Employer hereby agrees that in the
event any payment to the Local 262 Funds by check or other negotiable instrument results in the
check or negotiable instrument being returned without payment after being duly presented, the
Employer shall be liable for additional damages of the fees charged by the bank to cover such
additional costs, charges and expenses. Thereafter, the employer will be required to pay all
contributions by certified, bank check or cash. Nothing herein is intended, nor shall it be
interpreted, to mean that the Local 262 Funds or Union waive any other liquidated damages
required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement in the event Employer contributions are not paid
in full and at the time required.
Section4- Audit Procedure
The Employer shall retain, for a minimum period of six (6) years, payroll and related
records necessary for the conduct of a proper audit in order that a duly designated representative
of the Trustees may make periodic review to confirm that contributions owed pursuant to this
Agreement are paid-in full. In the event, after the Trustees have made a reasonable request, the
Employer fails to produce its books and records necessary for a proper audit, the Trustees, in
their sole discretion, may determine that the Employer's monthly hours subject to contributions
for each month of the requested audit period are the highest number of employee hours for any
month during the twelve preceding months audited, or during the last twelve (12) months for
which reports were filed, whichever monthly number of hours is greater. If the hours reported by
employees as unpaid vacation claims exceed such amount, the vacation claims shall be used as
the criterion of delinquency. Such determination by the Trustees shall constitute presumptive
evidence of delinquency. Prior to making such determination, the Trustees shall mail a final ten
(10) day written notice to the Employer advising him that such determination shall be made if the
Employer does not schedule a prompt audit. Nothing herein shall mean that the Funds relinquish
their right to commence legal proceedings to compel an examination of the Employer's books
and records for audit.
When Auditors are sent to audit the books of any Signatory and a definite appointment is
scheduled, or when the Auditor or Auditors cannot start at the appointed time and date and must
return, or when valid payroll records are not furnished, then the said Signatory shall be penalized
and shall pay the sum of $1,000.00 per appointment, to cover the expense of the Auditor or
Auditors.
If an audit deficiency is less than 5% of the signatory’s contributions for last year prior to
the audit deficiency the audit and attorney’s fees will be waived.
20

It shall be a violation of this Agreement for any Signatory bound by this Agreement, to
fail to furnish proper records when requested, for the purpose of completing an audit. The Union
shall have the right to remove all its members from the offending Signatory upon twenty-four
(24) hour notice. If such men who are removed remain on the job site during regular working
hours, they shall be paid for lost time not to exceed two (2) days of pay.

have been required by this Agreement, but for the Court’s Order approving rejection of the
Agreement.
In lieu of a bond an Irrevocable Letter of Credit from an FDIC Bank representing the
correlated bond amount for the number of reportable hours worked per month shall be ac-
cepted.

(15) calendar days written notice by the Local Union headquarters of his failure to comply.
40
In the event such action is taken, the Employer shall be responsible for any loss re-
sulting therefrom.

Sprinkler Association.

the end of the period in the payment of his contribution to the Health and Welfare Fund, the
Pension Fund, or other Funds created under this Agreement, in accordance with the rules
and regulations of the Trustees of each Fund, the employees and/or the Union shall have the
right to take action that may be necessary until such delinquent payments are made; pro-
vided however, that such action is subsequent to the Employer receiving notice in writing
from the Welfare, Pension, Educational, S.I.S. and/or Industry Promotion Trust Fund Ad-
ministrator that said contractor is delinquent and it is further agreed that in the event such
action is taken, the Employer shall be responsible for any loss resulting therefrom.

(1) man to work alone (i.e., day work, emergency work and trim work where build-
ings are occupied and the employee is not exposed to excessive height or weight
conditions.) It is mutually agreed that one (1) man jobs have been performed in
the past under safe conditions, and provided safe conditions exist, it is reasonable
and proper to assign one (1) man to a job.
5. The Employer shall furnish, at no cost to the employee, all safety equipment as re-
quired by applicable Federal, State and Municipal Safety and Health Laws and
Regulations, as well as all equipment required by the “Authority Having Jurisdic-
tion” on all jobs.

disciplinary action, for an employee to refuse to go through any primary picket line, includ-
ing a primary picket line of the Union.
ARTICLE 28
DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE:
WISCONSIN PIPE TRADES DRUG AND ALCOHOL POLICY AND PROGRAM: The
National Fire Sprinkler Association and Road Sprinkler Fitters Local Union 669 agree to par-
ticipate fully in the Plumbing and Mechanical Contractors and Pipe Trades of Wisconsin
Drug-Free Alliance program effective October 1, 2002. Any discrepancies between the Pipe
Trades Program referenced herein and the Program described below shall be resolved by
the terms of the Pipe Trades of Wisconsin Drug-Free Alliance program.
The NFSA and Local 669 acknowledge that the use of alcohol and illicit drugs is detri-
mental to the health and safety of the employees covered by this Article. It is also acknowl-
edged that employees suffering from an alcohol or drug related problem should be afforded
the opportunity to remedy their health problem. Therefore, it is hereby agreed by the par-
ties as follows:
1. An employee shall not report for work in a condition unfit for work due to the use of
alcohol, drugs, or illegal substances. Being in a condition unfit for work because of the effects
of drugs, alcohol or illegal substances that impair work performance while at the jobsite is cause
for disciplinary action, up to and including discharge. Employees must meet their responsibility
to be fit for duty, ensuring a zero tolerance policy for substance abuse is strictly met.
2. Acceptable Means of Drug Testing. The following are the acceptable means of
drug testing. If the General Contractor or owner requires drug or alcohol testing other than
that provided herein, the Employer shall immediately notify the Union in writing.
2A. If an Employer has “probable cause” to suspect that an employee is unfit for work
as described above, the Employer may require the employee to submit to a detection test as
outlined in Paragraph 3 through Paragraph 5 to determine whether the employee is in violation
of Paragraph 1. “Probable cause” means objective belief based on direct observation by a su-
pervisor or management representative, job foreman, or other employee such that it can be de-
scribed with particularity, i.e., specific facts. All such facts must be immediately reduced to
writing by the supervisor, management official, job foreman, or other employee and provided to
the employee and the Union. If a supervisor or management official is not “on site” to observe
an employee whose performance is impaired, the job foreman or other employee shall contact
the Employer by telephone immediately after the written documentation is completed.
“On site” means the location of the job at which the employee is suspected of being
unfit for work.
45
Any employee operating a company motor vehicle that is involved in a motor vehicle
accident during working hours or at any time if such vehicle is owned or leased by the Em-
ployer, or in a work-related injury that requires medical attention, may also be required to sub-
mit to testing for drugs or alcohol at the discretion of the Employer.
2B. Any contractor may elect to institute unscheduled drug or alcohol testing, pro-
vided that it shall be at the contractor’s cost and the following conditions are adhered to:
Drug or alcohol testing shall be applicable to all employer non-bargaining unit

employees, including company executives and officers.
All name selection shall be done by computer program name generation and
all testing shall be done by a certified collection and testing facility.
Time spent meeting unscheduled testing requirements shall be paid work time.
2C. Any contractor may elect to institute pre-employment drug testing. The applicant
shall receive an amount equal to two (2) hours wages when the applicant is subjected to pre-
employment drug testing, provided the applicant does not test positive. It is understood that
such payment shall not confer status as an employee on such applicant, unless the con-
tractor actually puts such applicant to work on his payroll.
2D. An employee who leaves the company for a duration of longer than thirty (30)
days may be retested.
3. The procedure for detection of alcohol-related impairment shall be the same as used
by the State where the worksite is located and presumptive impairment shall be determined by
using the State established level for a finding of driving a vehicle while intoxicated. The testing
procedure for drug-related impairment shall use the EMIT or similar screening test in the first
instance. If an employee is not able or competent to authorize specimen collection or is in need
of medical attention, medical attention shall not be delayed pending specimen collection. The
following initial cutoff levels shall be used when screening specimens to determine whether
they are negative or positive for these ten drugs or classes of drugs:
Initial Test Level nanogram/millileter

Amphetamines 1000
Barbiturates 300
Benzodiazepines 300
Cocaine 300
Methadone 300
Opiates 2000
Phencyclidine (PCP) 25
Propoxyphene (Darvon) 300
THC (marijuana and cannabinoids) 50
Methaqualones (Quaaludes) 300
46
The results of the test must be confirmed by the gas chromatography/mass spec-
trometry method. The failure to confirm the initial finding by GC/MS shall nullify the initial
screening. The types of drugs listed above are not the exclusive set of drugs for the detec-
tion of which analysis may be conducted, provided the parties are in agreement as to appli-
cable procedures and standards for drugs not enumerated above.
4. The testing shall be conducted by a laboratory certified to perform such tests by
the United States Department of Health and Human Services or any other laboratory des-
ignated by agreement of the parties. The collection of the samples shall conform to the cur-
rent procedures established by HHS.
5. After any sample is collected pursuant to the provisions of this Article, the em-
ployee shall have the right to be given a portion of the sample collected for his/her own analy-
sis. Said portion shall be clearly identified and sealed. The Employer shall also provide the
employee and Union representative with a listing of the three (3) closest laboratories or test-
ing agencies which comply with the HHS Guidelines cited above. In the event the District
Business Agent is not available to be “on site” within one (1) hour, the Union shall designate
a temporary, alternate Union representative. The employee shall have the right to inde-
pendent analysis at these approved facilities. Any report on the contents of the sample must
contain a signed attestation that the seal was intact upon submission to the certified collec-
tion and testing facility.
6. Possession or sale of illegal drugs or other illegal substances at the worksite shall
constitute independent grounds for discharge without regard to “probable cause” of unfit-
ness for work or adverse effect upon work performance.
7. All records pertaining to investigation and assessment of an employee shall be

maintained in the Employer’s possession in accordance with all laws.
8. The only permissible testing by the Employer shall be that set forth in Paragraph
2 through Paragraph 5 and to comply with the requirements of the general contractor, owner,
or law. There shall be no random testing, no use of electronic detection devices, use of
search dogs, searches of persons or vehicles or other practices not specifically mentioned
in this Article. At the option of the employee or the Union, any employee tested through pro-
cedures materially different than those set forth above shall have the right, at the Employer’s
cost, to be tested pursuant to procedures set forth in Paragraph 2 through Paragraph 5 and
no discipline may be imposed until unfitness for work is established pursuant to Paragraph
2 through Paragraph 5.
9. This Article shall not bar any subsequent modifications of the standards and tests
promulgated by the Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee nor testing of applicants for the
Joint Apprenticeship Program pursuant to procedures adopted by the Joint Apprenticeship
Training Committee.
10. The following employee rights shall be provided:
47
(a) Before requesting an employee to undergo drug or alcohol testing, the em-
ployer shall provide the employee with a form on which to acknowledge
that the employee has seen the drug and alcohol testing policy;
(b) If an employee tests positive for drug or alcohol use, the employee shall be
given written notice of the right to explain the positive test and indicate any
over-the-counter or prescription medication that the employee is currently
taking or has recently taken and any other information relevant to the reli-
ability of, or explanation for, a positive test;
(c) Within three (3) days after notice of a positive initial drug or alcohol test re-
sult the employee may submit information to the employer, in addition to
any information already submitted under paragraph (B), to explain the re-
sult;
(d) An employee who tests positive will have four (4) working days following
the date on which the employee is notified of the test result to advise the
Employer, in writing of the employee’s desire to request a retest at the em-
ployee’s expense, unless a retest is negative in which case it shall be at
the Employer’s expense.
(e) Employees may grieve actions for discipline under the Collective Bargain-
ing Agreement.
ARTICLE 29

April 1, 2016 to March 31, 2021.
ARTICLE 30
PROVISIONS FOR RENEWAL OF AGREEMENT: Sixty (60) days prior to April 1,

ever, that any Article or provision to this Agreement shall be declared invalid, inoperative or
unenforceable by any competent authority of the executive, legislative, judicial, or adminis-
trative branch of the Federal or any State government, the Employer and the Union shall
48
suspend the operation of such article or provision during the period of its invalidity and shall
substitute, by mutual consent in its place and stead, an article or provision which will meet
the objections to its validity and which will be in accord with the intent and purposes of the
article or provision in question.
If any Article or provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid, inoperative or unen-
forceable by operation of law or by any of the above-mentioned tribunals of competent ju-
risdiction, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such Article or provision to
persons or circumstances other than those as to which it has been held invalid, inoperative
and unenforceable shall not be affected thereby.

ADDENDUM C
to the
AGREEMENT BETWEEN
and
PRESERVATION OF BARGAINING UNIT WORK
In order to protect and preserve for the employees covered by this Agreement all work
historically and traditionally performed by them, and in order to prevent any device or sub-
terfuge to avoid the protection or preservation of such work, it is hereby agreed as follows:
If and when the Employer shall perform any work of the type covered by this Agreement as
a single or joint Employer (which shall be interpreted pursuant to applicable NLRB and judi-
cial principles) within the trade and territorial jurisdiction of Local 669, under its own name
or under the name of another, as a corporation, sole proprietorship, partnership, or any other
business entity including a joint venture, wherein the Employer (including its officers, direc-
tors, owners, partners or stockholders) exercises either directly or indirectly (such as through
family members) controlling or majority ownership, management or control over such other
entity, the wage and fringe benefit terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be applica-
ble to all such work performed on or after the effective date of this Agreement. The ques-
tion of single Employer status shall be determined under applicable NLRB and judicial
principles, i.e., whether there exists between the two companies an arm’s length relationship
as found among unintegrated companies and/or whether overall control over critical mat-
ters exists at the policy level. The parties hereby incorporate the standard adopted by the
Court in Operating Engineers Local 627 v. NLRB, 518 F.2d 1040 (D.C. Cir. 1975) and af-
firmed by the Supreme Court, 425 U.S. 800 (1976), as controlling. A joint employer, under
NLRB and judicial principles, is two independent legal entities that share, codetermine, or
meaningfully affect labor relations matters.
Should the Employer establish or maintain such other entity within the meaning of
the preceding paragraph, the Employer is under an affirmative obligation to notify the Union
of the existence and nature of and work performed by such entity and the nature and extent
of its relationship to the signatory Employer. The supplying of false, misleading, or incom-
plete information (in response to a request by the Union) shall not constitute compliance
with this section. The Union shall not unreasonably delay the filing of a grievance under this
Article.
In the event that the Union files, or in the past has filed, a grievance under Article 3
of this or a prior national agreement, and the grievance was not sustained, the Union may
proceed under the following procedures with respect to the contractor(s) involved in the
grievance:
59
Should the Employer establish or maintain operations that are not signatory to this
Agreement, under its own name or another or through another related business entity to
perform work of the type covered by this Agreement within the Union’s territorial jurisdiction,
the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall become applicable to and binding upon
such operations at such time as a majority of employees of the entity (as determined on a
state-by-state, regional or facility-by-facility basis consistent with NLRB unit determination
standards) designates the Union as their exclusive bargaining representative on the basis
of their un-coerced execution of authorization cards, pursuant to applicable NLRB standards,
or in the event of a good faith dispute over the validity of the authorization cards, pursuant
to a secret ballot election under the supervision of a private independent third party to be des-
ignated by the Union and the NFSA within thirty (30) days of ratification of this Agreement.
The Employer and the Union agree not to coerce employees or to otherwise interfere with
employees in their decision whether or not to sign an authorization card and/or to vote in a
third party election.
Particular disputes arising under the foregoing paragraphs shall be heard by one of
four persons to be selected by the parties (alternatively depending upon their availability) as
a Special Arbitrator. The Arbitrator shall have the authority to order the Employer to provide
appropriate and relevant information in compliance with this clause. The Special Arbitrator
shall also have authority to confirm that the Union has obtained an authorization card ma-
jority as provided in the preceding paragraph.
Because the practice of double-breasting is a source of strife in the sprinkler indus-

try that endangers mutual efforts to expand market share for union members and union em-
ployers, it is the intention of the parties hereto that this clause be enforced to the fullest
extent permitted by law.
Except as specifically provided above, it is not intended that this Article be the exclu-
sive source of rights or remedies which the parties may have under State or Federal Laws.

in 1953 and revisions thereof. By registering these training standards, the Office of
Apprentice Training, Employer and Labor Services certifies that they conform to labor stan-
dards necessary to safeguard the welfare of Apprentices. The DOL’s general labor stan-
dards for Apprentice Programs are set forth in Title 29, Code of Federal Regulation, Part 29.
Local application of these Apprenticeship Standards, in States having State appren-

ticeship agencies, may require adaptation to meet the standards of apprenticeship in such
States.
PREAMBLE
Realizing the great and growing need for qualified, trained mechanics in the Sprinkler
Industry in order that proper facilities for fire protection may be provided and correctly and
scientifically installed both now and in the future, the National Fire Sprinkler Association, Inc.
and Road Local Union No. 669 of the United Association believe we should institute a sys-
tematic vocational training of Apprentices to the end that the needs of the Industry for capable
mechanics will be met and a proper balance steadily maintained.
These Apprenticeship Standards constitute a revision of the original Apprenticeship

Standards registered by the Office of Apprenticeship of the U.S. Department of Labor in
1953 and revisions thereof. By registering these training standards, the Office of Appren-
ticeship certifies that they conform to labor standards necessary to safeguard the welfare of
Apprentices. The U.S. Department of Labor’s general labor standards for Apprentice Pro-
grams are set forth in Title 29, Code of Federal Regulation (CFR), Part 29.

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PLAN
SECTION I - PREAMBLE
In order to conform with Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 30 - Equal Em-
ployment Opportunity in Apprenticeship, the Local 669 Joint Apprenticeship and Training
Committee, hereinafter referred to as the “JATC”, enters this Plan with good faith for the pur-
pose of promoting equality of opportunity into its registered Apprenticeship Program. The
JATC seeks to increase the recruitment of qualified women and minorities for possible se-
lection into the Apprenticeship Program in the event females and/or minorities are underuti-
lized in the Apprenticeship Program.
This Plan is a supplement to the Local 669 JATC Apprenticeship Standards. Any changes
to the Standards made by the JATC shall become part of this written Plan, once approved
by the Office of Apprenticeship, U.S. Department of Labor.
79
SECTION II - EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY PLEDGE
The recruitment, selection, employment, and training of apprentices during their appren-
ticeship shall be without discrimination because of race, color, religion, national origin, or
sex. The sponsor will take affirmative action to provide equal opportunity in apprenticeship
and will operate the apprenticeship program as required under Title 29 of the Code of Fed-
eral Regulations Part 30.
SECTION III - UTILIZATION AND ANALYSIS, GOALS AND TIMETABLES
In order to allow positive recruitment and full utilization of minorities and women in the ap-
prenticeship program, the JATC pledges to undertake the outreach efforts listed in Section
IV. The purpose of the analysis is to determine the minority and women’s labor force in the
JATC labor market area. Once the labor force is determined, the JATC can determine if de-
ficiencies exist in terms of underutilization of minorities and/or women in the occupations
registered with the Registration Agency.
SECTION IV - RECRUITMENT AND OUTREACH
1. Every six (6) months, the Compliance Officer will send to community outreach organiza-
tions and facilities which can assist in securing qualified minority and female applicants,
throughout the area of the country covered by the Apprenticeship Standards between the
Union and the National Fire Sprinkler Association announcements of apprenticeship oppor-
tunities and information concerning signatory contractors operating within the outreach or-
ganizations geographical area.
2. In addition to the notifications to minority groups and female referral organizations refer-
enced above, the Compliance Officer will semi-annually notify the following:
a. The Office of Apprenticeship and the State Apprenticeship Council (SAC) (if appli-
cable) representatives serving the program.
b. One-Stop Centers
3. The JATC, Compliance Officer, and Contractors may take additional affirmative actions
such as participation in workshops for school and employment service counselors, and co-
operating and consulting with secondary and vocational administrators on the transition of
students from school to apprenticeship openings. The Compliance Officer is to receive writ-
ten notification of such efforts made by Contractors.
SECTION V - ANNUAL REVIEW OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
The JATC Office will make an annual review of its Affirmative Action Plan and its overall effec-
tiveness and institute any revisions or modifications warranted. The review shall analyze (in-
dependently and collectively) the affirmative action steps taken by the JATC for evaluating the
positive impact, as well as the adverse impact in the areas of Outreach and Recruitment, Se-
80
lection Employment and Training. The JATC will work diligently to identify the cause and effect
that results from their affirmative action measures. The JATC will continually monitor these
processes in order to identify the need for a new affirmative action effort and/or deletion of in-
effective existing activity. All changes to the Affirmative Action Plan must be submitted to the Reg-
istration Agency for registration. The JATC will continually monitor the participation rates of
minorities and women in the apprenticeship program in an effort to identify any type of under-
utilization. If underutilization exists, corrective action will be immediately implemented.
SPONSOR’S GOALS:
The sponsor agrees to make good faith efforts to attain the goal of selecting n/a % minori-
ties and eight percent (8%) women during the next year or hiring period. These goals shall
not be used to discriminate against any qualified applicant on the basis of race, color, reli-
gion, national origin or sex.

SECTION II- JATC SELECTION PROCEDURE
1. All contractors participating in the JATC’s program of training and education shall utilize
year round enrollment as their exclusive means of selecting Class 1 Apprentices.
2. Except as provided in Article 16 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, effective April 1,

2016, between NFSA and Local 669:
When the employer gives favorable consideration to apprentices referred from the
Union, of if the Union is unable to refer qualified Apprentices within seventy-two (72) hours,
No new Apprentice may be hired when unemployment exceeds two (2) Journeyperson or Ap-
prentices, within 100 miles of the applicant’s home residence, or eight percent (8%) of the
total of Journeyperson and Apprentices, within 100 miles of the applicant’s home residence
(whichever is greater). For the purposes of determining the actual availability of qualified
Journeyperson and Apprentices in a given area, the Union will maintain a list of unemployed
Journeymen and Apprentices. Said list shall be updated on a weekly basis and will be made
available to the JATC upon request, but shall not be used for any purpose other than the fore-
82
going. The Chairman and Secretary of the Committee will approve or reject applications for
new Apprentices based upon the above-referenced list. If unemployment within the District
of the applicant’s home address exceeds eight percent (8%) or ten (10) Journeymen and Ap-
prentices, whichever is greater, the Employer may not hire a new Apprentice for ninety (90)
days after the Committee notifies the Union of the request for an Apprentice, or until the per-
cent no longer exceeds eight percent (8%) or ten (10) Journeyperson and Apprentices within
the District of the applicant’s home address.
At the expiration of ninety (90) days, the Employer may hire three (3) new Apprentices in that
District regardless of unemployment and, thereafter, if the eight percent (8%) ten (10) Jour-
neyperson/Apprentices unemployment continues, the Employer shall hire one (1) unem-
ployed Journeyperson or Apprentice from the Union’s national unemployment list for every
new Apprentice hired during that time frame.
At the expiration of ninety (90) days, the Employer may make a second request for appren-
tices and, if the eight percent (8%)/ten (10) Journeyperson/Apprentice unemployment con-
tinues, the Employer may, after the expiration of the second ninety (90) day period, hire three
(3) new Apprentices in that District regardless of unemployment and, thereafter, if such un-
employment continues, the Employer shall hire one (1) unemployed Journeyperson or Ap-
prentice from the Union’s National Unemployment List for each new Apprentice hired during
that time frame.
Under these requirements, the Employer may hire a maximum of six (6) Apprentices in any
calendar year in any District where the eight percent (8%)/ten (10) Journeyperson/Appren-
tice unemployment continues to exist. Within fifteen (15) calendar days of the hiring of a new
Apprentice, any layoff by the Employer within one hundred (100) miles of that Apprentice’s
home address shall include the new Apprentice.
If the newly employed Apprentice is terminated by the Employer for ‘’just cause” or quits,
the Employer shall have the right to replace that apprentice.
For the purposes of determining the actual availability of qualified Journeyperson and Ap-
prentices in a given area, the Union will maintain a list of unemployed Journeyperson and
Apprentices. Said list shall be updated on a weekly basis. Said list will be made available to
the Committee upon request, but shall not be used for any purpose other than the forego-
ing. The Chairman and Secretary of the Committee will approve or reject applications for
new Apprentices based upon the above-referenced list.
The Director of Apprenticeship will provide a list of Apprentice Applications for approval on
Friday of each week (if applicable) to the Chairman and Secretary of the JATC. The Union
will respond to the list, received on Friday, the following Monday.
3. Contractors being entitled to and desiring an Apprentice shall make application for said Ap-
prentice to the Committee. The Contractor shall agree that the Apprentice will be worked
under such conditions as will result in normal advancement and that the Contractor will co-
operate in seeing that the Apprentice does the requisite amount of study and on-the-job train-
83
ing as prescribed by the Committee. The Contractor shall also agree that the Apprentice will
not be employed in a manner that may be considered as unfair to either party to these Stan-
dards and, further, the parties agree to maintain their existing procedures and rules, as de-
termined by the Committee, with respect to administration of the Apprenticeship Program. In
the event there are Apprentices available who have had their employment terminated by
some other member Contractor, such Apprentice will be placed before new Apprentices are
hired.
4. Contractors shall maintain an applicant log, showing the status and final disposition of the
applicant, copies of which shall be sent on a regular basis to the Compliance Officer.
5. Every person requesting an application shall be recorded on the applicant log and shall
be furnished an application package which will include:
a. Apprenticeship Application.
b. Information relating to work in the trade as an apprentice.
c. The Complaint Procedure.

noted on the applicant log as being ineligible for consideration at this time.
Any individual who meets the eligibility requirements and who returns a completed package
within forty-five (45) days of its receipt shall be considered an applicant and eligible for in-
terview.
7. Interviews shall be conducted at the discretion of the contractor. When there is an exist-
ing pool of applicants, no interviews shall be conducted with less than seven (7) days notice,
via certified mail, to all eligible applicants. A new ranked list is required including
unsuccessful applicants, who will be slotted in wherever their rating score places them for a
period of two (2) years, unless the applicant has been removed from the list by their own writ-
ten request or following failure to respond to an apprenticeship opening. Applicants not
placed during the two (2) year period who were on the ranked list will be required to reap-
ply.
8. Notices shall also be sent to applicants who have previously been interviewed and ranked,
advising them of the opportunity to re-interview, provided they can demonstrate tangible
evidence of activities which have enhanced their qualifications for the job.
9. In the event any applicant fails to respond to said notices, they shall be notified by certi-
fied mail and removed from the pool of applicants and notation of such shall be made on the
Monthly Applicant Report.
84
10. Interviews shall be conducted by a committee consisting of at least two individuals.
11. Each interview session shall be scheduled to provide time to adequately cover each in-
terview grading area.

applicant: Application Form, High School Diploma or G.E.D. Certificate, Military Discharge
(Form DD-214) if applicable, and proof of birth date.
13. After a brief introduction, the committee will ask questions of the applicant with the pur-
pose of finding out as much as possible about the applicant as an individual and about the
applicant’s ability to perform in the apprenticeship program.
14. Questions for the interview and for purposes of evaluation will be on topics related to job
performance to determine ability to perform job, such as: work experience, education record,
mechanical abilities, and motivation.
15. Evaluation must be based on a standard of industry needs, and not by a comparison with
other applicants.
16. Adequate records shall be kept including a brief summary of each interview and the con-
clusions on each of the specific factors, e.g. motivation, ambition, and willingness to accept
direction which are part of the total judgment.
17. All applicants must be asked the same questions.
SECTION III - JATC SELECTION
1. The Contractor shall notify, via certified mail, all individuals interviewed of the results of the
interview, including their score and ranking. A numerical ranking of 1 shall be the highest
ranking, followed by 2, 3, 4, etc.
2. From the individuals interviewed, the contractor shall select in numerical order the appli-
cants sufficient to meet its employment needs.
3. Applicants not selected shall remain on the ranked list for a period of two (2) years, un-
less removed in accordance with Section II, number 8 or 10 of this procedure.

passes the physical examination and drug test, the contractor will forward the documents to
the Compliance Officer and retain a copy for the applicant’s file.
5. Final approval or rejection of an application submitted by a participating contractor will be

made by the Committee which will review the contractor’s eligibility for assignment of an ap-
prentice, the applicant’s eligibility for entry into the Program and the availability of journey-
85
men and/or apprentice sprinkler fitters in the applicant’s geographical area. If the applicant
is accepted for entry into the Program, a Class 1 card will be issued for the new apprentice
in care of the sponsoring contractor. If the application is rejected, the contractor and appli-
cant will be notified of the rejection and the reason therefore by certified mail and a return
receipt, requested by the Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee.
6. Veterans who completed military technical training school and participated in a registered
apprenticeship program, or completed military technical training school in a recognized ap-
prenticeable occupation, during their military service, may be given direct entry into the ap-
prenticeship program.
The Program Sponsor will evaluate the military training and on-the-job learning experience
received for the granting of appropriate credit on the term of apprenticeship and the appro-
priate wage rate.
Credit will be granted in accordance with that section identified in the Registered Appren-
ticeship Program Standards as “Credit for Previous Experience”. The request for credit will
be evaluated and a determination made by the Program Sponsor during the probationary pe-
riod when actual on-the-job learning and related instruction performance can be examined.
Prior to completion of the probationary period, the amount of credit to be awarded will be de-
termined after review of the apprentice’s previous work and training/education record and
evaluation of the apprentice’s performance, skill and knowledge demonstrated during the
probationary period. An apprentice granted credit shall be advanced to the wage rate des-
ignated for the period to which such credit accrues.
Apprentice applicants seeking credit for previous experience gained outside the supervision
of the program sponsor must submit such request at the time of application and furnish such
records, affidavits, and other (insert local requirements) to substantiate the claim.
Entry of veterans will be done without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, or sex.

shall be maintained for a period of five (5) years from the time of the last action at the con-
tractor’s and Compliance Officer’s address.
2. Records maintained by the contractor shall be available for inspection and review by the
Compliance Officer at such times and under such conditions as the Officer in his or her dis-
cretion determines.
SECTION V - COMPLAINT PROCEDURE
When a Contractor discharges an Apprentice, the Contractor shall immediately notify the
Committee in writing, giving the name of the Apprentice and the reason for discharge. Dis-
position of such an Apprentice shall be made by the Committee within sixty (60) days of re-
86
ceipt of notice of discharge. Apprentices shall have the right to request an appearance be-
fore the Committee concerning specific issues or matters dealing with their Apprenticeship
Agreement. Such requests shall be in writing. In case of dissatisfaction between the Con-
tractor and the Apprentice, either party has the right and privilege of appeal to the Commit-
tee for such action and adjustment of such matters as come within the Standards.
For issues regarding wages, hours, working conditions, and other issues covered by the
Collective Bargaining Agreement, Apprentices may seek resolution through the applicable
dispute settlement provisions of that Agreement after first bringing documented evidence to
the Committee.
The Committee shall hear and consider all complaints of violations concerning the Appren-
ticeship Agreement and the registered Apprenticeship Standards. Either party to the Ap-
prenticeship Agreement may consult with the Office of Apprenticeship for an interpretation
of any provision of the Standards over which differences occur.

against on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin or sex with regard to Apprentice-
ship, or that the equal opportunity standards with respect to their selection have not been fol-
lowed in the operation of the Apprenticeship Program, may contact directly personally or
through an authorized representative, to file a compliant with the Registration Agency or, at
the apprentices or applicant’s election, with the private review body established by the local
JATC (if applicable).

AGREEMENT BETWEEN
and
ROAD SPRINKLER FITTERS LOCAL UNION NO. 669,
COLUMBIA, MARYLAND
OF THE UNITED ASSOCIATION OF JOURNEYMEN AND APPRENTICES OF
THE PLUMBING AND PIPE FITTING INDUSTRY OF THE UNITED STATES
AND CANADA
THIS AGREEMENT is made this 1st day of April, 2016 (and constituting revision of the
original Agreement of April 6, 1915, and revisions and renewals thereof) and between
National Fire Sprinkler Association, Inc. (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “NFSA”
or “The Association”) and Road Sprinkler Fitters Local Union 669 (hereinafter referred to
as the “Union”).
ARTICLE 1
The National Fire Sprinkler Association, Inc., a body corporate under authority from
its members pursuant to its By-Laws, has negotiated and signed this Agreement for and on
behalf of contractors that have given the National Fire Sprinkler Association, Inc. written
authority to negotiate this Collective Bargaining Agreement, each of whom is the “Employer”
party to this contract. A list of the names of those contractors authorizing NFSA to negoti-
ate and execute this Agreement and on whose behalf it is negotiated and executed is
attached hereto and made a part hereof.
It is understood that the NFSA is not responsible for the actions of individual con-
tractors relative to the application of and compliance with this Agreement. NFSA has the ex-
clusive right to appoint employer representatives to all joint committees or trust boards that
are in existence and/or come about as a result of the terms and conditions of this Collective
Bargaining Agreement. NFSA may, at its option, with the approval of the contractor partici-
pate in any grievance involving said contractor who has given NFSA authority to negotiate
this Collective Bargaining Agreement.
It is further understood and agreed that any Employer bound by the terms of this
Agreement by virtue of the authority described in the above paragraph agrees that, if the
contractor withdraws its membership from NFSA or its membership is terminated for any
reason, the contractor shall be bound by all the terms and conditions of the Agreement for
the balance of the term of this Agreement. NFSA agrees to notify the Union when any con-
tractor member withdraws or is terminated from the NFSA within twenty (20) days of such
action. NFSA shall also notify the Union of any new member joining NFSA within a period
of twenty (20) days from receipt of application, subject to subsequent Board of Directors ap-
proval, and shall furnish the Union with a copy of the signed agreement whereby the Com-
pany authorizes NFSA to represent it in Collective Bargaining.
3
The Union shall submit to NFSA within thirty (30) days of the signing of this Agreement
a copy of separate agreements signed with employers who are not members of NFSA and/or
are not party to this Agreement and shall thereafter advise NFSA in writing within ten (10)
days of any new employers with whom the Union has signed a separate agreement. The
Union shall promptly provide NFSA with copies of correspondence with employers
represented by NFSA.
ARTICLE 2
This Agreement is entered into in good faith and the subscribers declare their entire
willingness to fulfill all requirements contained herein, their acts being done with the full
knowledge, consent and authority of the Employer and the Union. It is hoped and believed
that this Agreement properly respected will tend to remove the causes for industrial strife
and bring about a better understanding between the Employer and the Union.
STANDING COMMITTEE: Recognizing the fact that this Agreement is for five (5)
years, the parties to this Agreement hereby create a Mutual Cooperation Committee which
will meet on a periodic basis, every one hundred twenty (120) days, or sooner, if the need
arises, to discuss problems that are of mutual concern to the NFSA and Local Union 669.
The primary purpose of this Committee is to evaluate the effectiveness of this Col-
lective Bargaining Agreement in reclaiming the market for signatory contractors and their
employees and if market share continues to decline, the parties to this Agreement shall dis-
cuss possible ways and means to further prevent continued loss of market.
All employers in a given area agree to provide timely information to the respective
State and Federal agencies as requested by the Union and/or NFSA, for purposes of es-
tablishing and maintaining area standards for public work projects.
ARTICLE 3
RECOGNITION: The National Fire Sprinkler Association, Inc. for and on behalf of its
contractor members that have given written authorization and all other employing contrac-
tors becoming signatory hereto, recognize the Union as the sole and exclusive bargaining
representative for all Journeymen Sprinkler Fitters and Apprentices in the employ of said
Employers, who are engaged in all work as set forth in Article 18 of this Agreement with re-
spect to wages, hours and other conditions of employment pursuant to Section 9(a) of the
National Labor Relations Act.
The Union also recognizes the National Fire Sprinkler Association, Inc. as the Col-
lective Bargaining Agency for contractors who have given written authorization and for those
contractors who become signatory to this Agreement.
This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto, their successors, adminis-
trators, executors and assigns. It is understood that the parties hereto shall not use any
sale, transfer, lease, assignment, receivership, or bankruptcy to evade the terms of this
Agreement.

have been required by this Agreement, but for the Court’s Order approving rejection of the
Agreement.
In lieu of a bond an Irrevocable Letter of Credit from an FDIC Bank representing the
correlated bond amount for the number of reportable hours worked per month shall be ac-
cepted.

(15) calendar days written notice by the Local Union headquarters of his failure to comply.
40
In the event such action is taken, the Employer shall be responsible for any loss re-
sulting therefrom.

Sprinkler Association.

the end of the period in the payment of his contribution to the Health and Welfare Fund, the
Pension Fund, or other Funds created under this Agreement, in accordance with the rules
and regulations of the Trustees of each Fund, the employees and/or the Union shall have the
right to take action that may be necessary until such delinquent payments are made; pro-
vided however, that such action is subsequent to the Employer receiving notice in writing

ministrator that said contractor is delinquent and it is further agreed that in the event such
action is taken, the Employer shall be responsible for any loss resulting therefrom.

of drugs, alcohol or illegal substances that impair work performance while at the jobsite is cause
for disciplinary action, up to and including discharge. Employees must meet their responsibility
to be fit for duty, ensuring a zero tolerance policy for substance abuse is strictly met.
2. Acceptable Means of Drug Testing. The following are the acceptable means of
drug testing. If the General Contractor or owner requires drug or alcohol testing other than
that provided herein, the Employer shall immediately notify the Union in writing.
2A. If an Employer has “probable cause” to suspect that an employee is unfit for work
as described above, the Employer may require the employee to submit to a detection test as
outlined in Paragraph 3 through Paragraph 5 to determine whether the employee is in violation
of Paragraph 1. “Probable cause” means objective belief based on direct observation by a su-
pervisor or management representative, job foreman, or other employee such that it can be de-
scribed with particularity, i.e., specific facts. All such facts must be immediately reduced to
writing by the supervisor, management official, job foreman, or other employee and provided to
the employee and the Union. If a supervisor or management official is not “on site” to observe
an employee whose performance is impaired, the job foreman or other employee shall contact
the Employer by telephone immediately after the written documentation is completed.
“On site” means the location of the job at which the employee is suspected of being
unfit for work.
45
Any employee operating a company motor vehicle that is involved in a motor vehicle
accident during working hours or at any time if such vehicle is owned or leased by the Em-
ployer, or in a work-related injury that requires medical attention, may also be required to sub-
mit to testing for drugs or alcohol at the discretion of the Employer.
2B. Any contractor may elect to institute unscheduled drug or alcohol testing, pro-
vided that it shall be at the contractor’s cost and the following conditions are adhered to:
Drug or alcohol testing shall be applicable to all employer non-bargaining unit

employees, including company executives and officers.
All name selection shall be done by computer program name generation and
all testing shall be done by a certified collection and testing facility.
Time spent meeting unscheduled testing requirements shall be paid work time.
2C. Any contractor may elect to institute pre-employment drug testing. The applicant
shall receive an amount equal to two (2) hours wages when the applicant is subjected to pre-
employment drug testing, provided the applicant does not test positive. It is understood that
such payment shall not confer status as an employee on such applicant, unless the con-
tractor actually puts such applicant to work on his payroll.
2D. An employee who leaves the company for a duration of longer than thirty (30)
days may be retested.
3. The procedure for detection of alcohol-related impairment shall be the same as used
by the State where the worksite is located and presumptive impairment shall be determined by
using the State established level for a finding of driving a vehicle while intoxicated. The testing
procedure for drug-related impairment shall use the EMIT or similar screening test in the first
instance. If an employee is not able or competent to authorize specimen collection or is in need
of medical attention, medical attention shall not be delayed pending specimen collection. The
following initial cutoff levels shall be used when screening specimens to determine whether
they are negative or positive for these ten drugs or classes of drugs:
Initial Test Level nanogram/millileter

Amphetamines 1000
Barbiturates 300
Benzodiazepines 300
Cocaine 300
Methadone 300
Opiates 2000
Phencyclidine (PCP) 25
Propoxyphene (Darvon) 300
THC (marijuana and cannabinoids) 50
Methaqualones (Quaaludes) 300
46
The results of the test must be confirmed by the gas chromatography/mass spec-
trometry method. The failure to confirm the initial finding by GC/MS shall nullify the initial
screening. The types of drugs listed above are not the exclusive set of drugs for the detec-
tion of which analysis may be conducted, provided the parties are in agreement as to appli-
cable procedures and standards for drugs not enumerated above.
4. The testing shall be conducted by a laboratory certified to perform such tests by
the United States Department of Health and Human Services or any other laboratory des-
ignated by agreement of the parties. The collection of the samples shall conform to the cur-
rent procedures established by HHS.
5. After any sample is collected pursuant to the provisions of this Article, the em-
ployee shall have the right to be given a portion of the sample collected for his/her own analy-
sis. Said portion shall be clearly identified and sealed. The Employer shall also provide the
employee and Union representative with a listing of the three (3) closest laboratories or test-
ing agencies which comply with the HHS Guidelines cited above. In the event the District
Business Agent is not available to be “on site” within one (1) hour, the Union shall designate
a temporary, alternate Union representative. The employee shall have the right to inde-
pendent analysis at these approved facilities. Any report on the contents of the sample must
contain a signed attestation that the seal was intact upon submission to the certified collec-
tion and testing facility.
6. Possession or sale of illegal drugs or other illegal substances at the worksite shall
constitute independent grounds for discharge without regard to “probable cause” of unfit-
ness for work or adverse effect upon work performance.
7. All records pertaining to investigation and assessment of an employee shall be

maintained in the Employer’s possession in accordance with all laws.
8. The only permissible testing by the Employer shall be that set forth in Paragraph
2 through Paragraph 5 and to comply with the requirements of the general contractor, owner,
or law. There shall be no random testing, no use of electronic detection devices, use of
search dogs, searches of persons or vehicles or other practices not specifically mentioned
in this Article. At the option of the employee or the Union, any employee tested through pro-
cedures materially different than those set forth above shall have the right, at the Employer’s
cost, to be tested pursuant to procedures set forth in Paragraph 2 through Paragraph 5 and
no discipline may be imposed until unfitness for work is established pursuant to Paragraph
2 through Paragraph 5.
9. This Article shall not bar any subsequent modifications of the standards and tests
promulgated by the Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee nor testing of applicants for the
Joint Apprenticeship Program pursuant to procedures adopted by the Joint Apprenticeship
Training Committee.
10. The following employee rights shall be provided:
47
(a) Before requesting an employee to undergo drug or alcohol testing, the em-
ployer shall provide the employee with a form on which to acknowledge
that the employee has seen the drug and alcohol testing policy;
(b) If an employee tests positive for drug or alcohol use, the employee shall be
given written notice of the right to explain the positive test and indicate any
over-the-counter or prescription medication that the employee is currently
taking or has recently taken and any other information relevant to the reli-
ability of, or explanation for, a positive test;
(c) Within three (3) days after notice of a positive initial drug or alcohol test re-
sult the employee may submit information to the employer, in addition to
any information already submitted under paragraph (B), to explain the re-
sult;
(d) An employee who tests positive will have four (4) working days following
the date on which the employee is notified of the test result to advise the
Employer, in writing of the employee’s desire to request a retest at the em-
ployee’s expense, unless a retest is negative in which case it shall be at
the Employer’s expense.
(e) Employees may grieve actions for discipline under the Collective Bargain-
ing Agreement.

substitute, by mutual consent in its place and stead, an article or provision which will meet
the objections to its validity and which will be in accord with the intent and purposes of the
article or provision in question.
If any Article or provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid, inoperative or unen-
forceable by operation of law or by any of the above-mentioned tribunals of competent ju-
risdiction, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such Article or provision to

ADDENDUM C
to the
AGREEMENT BETWEEN
and
PRESERVATION OF BARGAINING UNIT WORK
In order to protect and preserve for the employees covered by this Agreement all work
historically and traditionally performed by them, and in order to prevent any device or sub-
terfuge to avoid the protection or preservation of such work, it is hereby agreed as follows:
If and when the Employer shall perform any work of the type covered by this Agreement as
a single or joint Employer (which shall be interpreted pursuant to applicable NLRB and judi-
cial principles) within the trade and territorial jurisdiction of Local 669, under its own name
or under the name of another, as a corporation, sole proprietorship, partnership, or any other
business entity including a joint venture, wherein the Employer (including its officers, direc-
tors, owners, partners or stockholders) exercises either directly or indirectly (such as through
family members) controlling or majority ownership, management or control over such other
entity, the wage and fringe benefit terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be applica-
ble to all such work performed on or after the effective date of this Agreement. The ques-
tion of single Employer status shall be determined under applicable NLRB and judicial
principles, i.e., whether there exists between the two companies an arm’s length relationship
as found among unintegrated companies and/or whether overall control over critical mat-
ters exists at the policy level. The parties hereby incorporate the standard adopted by the
Court in Operating Engineers Local 627 v. NLRB, 518 F.2d 1040 (D.C. Cir. 1975) and af-
firmed by the Supreme Court, 425 U.S. 800 (1976), as controlling. A joint employer, under
NLRB and judicial principles, is two independent legal entities that share, codetermine, or
meaningfully affect labor relations matters.
Should the Employer establish or maintain such other entity within the meaning of
the preceding paragraph, the Employer is under an affirmative obligation to notify the Union
of the existence and nature of and work performed by such entity and the nature and extent
of its relationship to the signatory Employer. The supplying of false, misleading, or incom-
plete information (in response to a request by the Union) shall not constitute compliance
with this section. The Union shall not unreasonably delay the filing of a grievance under this
Article.
In the event that the Union files, or in the past has filed, a grievance under Article 3
of this or a prior national agreement, and the grievance was not sustained, the Union may
proceed under the following procedures with respect to the contractor(s) involved in the
grievance:
59
Should the Employer establish or maintain operations that are not signatory to this
Agreement, under its own name or another or through another related business entity to
perform work of the type covered by this Agreement within the Union’s territorial jurisdiction,
the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall become applicable to and binding upon
such operations at such time as a majority of employees of the entity (as determined on a
state-by-state, regional or facility-by-facility basis consistent with NLRB unit determination
standards) designates the Union as their exclusive bargaining representative on the basis
of their un-coerced execution of authorization cards, pursuant to applicable NLRB standards,
or in the event of a good faith dispute over the validity of the authorization cards, pursuant
to a secret ballot election under the supervision of a private independent third party to be des-
ignated by the Union and the NFSA within thirty (30) days of ratification of this Agreement.
The Employer and the Union agree not to coerce employees or to otherwise interfere with
employees in their decision whether or not to sign an authorization card and/or to vote in a
third party election.
Particular disputes arising under the foregoing paragraphs shall be heard by one of
four persons to be selected by the parties (alternatively depending upon their availability) as
a Special Arbitrator. The Arbitrator shall have the authority to order the Employer to provide
appropriate and relevant information in compliance with this clause. The Special Arbitrator
shall also have authority to confirm that the Union has obtained an authorization card ma-
jority as provided in the preceding paragraph.
Because the practice of double-breasting is a source of strife in the sprinkler indus-

try that endangers mutual efforts to expand market share for union members and union em-
ployers, it is the intention of the parties hereto that this clause be enforced to the fullest
extent permitted by law.
Except as specifically provided above, it is not intended that this Article be the exclu-
sive source of rights or remedies which the parties may have under State or Federal Laws.

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PLAN
SECTION I - PREAMBLE
In order to conform with Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 30 - Equal Em-
ployment Opportunity in Apprenticeship, the Local 669 Joint Apprenticeship and Training
Committee, hereinafter referred to as the “JATC”, enters this Plan with good faith for the pur-
pose of promoting equality of opportunity into its registered Apprenticeship Program. The
JATC seeks to increase the recruitment of qualified women and minorities for possible se-
lection into the Apprenticeship Program in the event females and/or minorities are underuti-
lized in the Apprenticeship Program.
This Plan is a supplement to the Local 669 JATC Apprenticeship Standards. Any changes
to the Standards made by the JATC shall become part of this written Plan, once approved
by the Office of Apprenticeship, U.S. Department of Labor.
79
SECTION II - EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY PLEDGE
The recruitment, selection, employment, and training of apprentices during their appren-
ticeship shall be without discrimination because of race, color, religion, national origin, or
sex. The sponsor will take affirmative action to provide equal opportunity in apprenticeship
and will operate the apprenticeship program as required under Title 29 of the Code of Fed-
eral Regulations Part 30.
SECTION III - UTILIZATION AND ANALYSIS, GOALS AND TIMETABLES
In order to allow positive recruitment and full utilization of minorities and women in the ap-
prenticeship program, the JATC pledges to undertake the outreach efforts listed in Section
IV. The purpose of the analysis is to determine the minority and women’s labor force in the
JATC labor market area. Once the labor force is determined, the JATC can determine if de-
ficiencies exist in terms of underutilization of minorities and/or women in the occupations
registered with the Registration Agency.
SECTION IV - RECRUITMENT AND OUTREACH
1. Every six (6) months, the Compliance Officer will send to community outreach organiza-
tions and facilities which can assist in securing qualified minority and female applicants,
throughout the area of the country covered by the Apprenticeship Standards between the
Union and the National Fire Sprinkler Association announcements of apprenticeship oppor-
tunities and information concerning signatory contractors operating within the outreach or-
ganizations geographical area.
2. In addition to the notifications to minority groups and female referral organizations refer-
enced above, the Compliance Officer will semi-annually notify the following:
a. The Office of Apprenticeship and the State Apprenticeship Council (SAC) (if appli-
cable) representatives serving the program.
b. One-Stop Centers
3. The JATC, Compliance Officer, and Contractors may take additional affirmative actions
such as participation in workshops for school and employment service counselors, and co-
operating and consulting with secondary and vocational administrators on the transition of
students from school to apprenticeship openings. The Compliance Officer is to receive writ-
ten notification of such efforts made by Contractors.
SECTION V - ANNUAL REVIEW OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
The JATC Office will make an annual review of its Affirmative Action Plan and its overall effec-
tiveness and institute any revisions or modifications warranted. The review shall analyze (in-
dependently and collectively) the affirmative action steps taken by the JATC for evaluating the
positive impact, as well as the adverse impact in the areas of Outreach and Recruitment, Se-
80
lection Employment and Training. The JATC will work diligently to identify the cause and effect
that results from their affirmative action measures. The JATC will continually monitor these
processes in order to identify the need for a new affirmative action effort and/or deletion of in-
effective existing activity. All changes to the Affirmative Action Plan must be submitted to the Reg-
istration Agency for registration. The JATC will continually monitor the participation rates of
minorities and women in the apprenticeship program in an effort to identify any type of under-
utilization. If underutilization exists, corrective action will be immediately implemented.
SPONSOR’S GOALS:
The sponsor agrees to make good faith efforts to attain the goal of selecting n/a % minori-
ties and eight percent (8%) women during the next year or hiring period. These goals shall
not be used to discriminate against any qualified applicant on the basis of race, color, reli-
gion, national origin or sex.

SECTION II- JATC SELECTION PROCEDURE
1. All contractors participating in the JATC’s program of training and education shall utilize
year round enrollment as their exclusive means of selecting Class 1 Apprentices.
2. Except as provided in Article 16 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, effective April 1,

2016, between NFSA and Local 669:
When the employer gives favorable consideration to apprentices referred from the
Union, of if the Union is unable to refer qualified Apprentices within seventy-two (72) hours,
No new Apprentice may be hired when unemployment exceeds two (2) Journeyperson or Ap-
prentices, within 100 miles of the applicant’s home residence, or eight percent (8%) of the
total of Journeyperson and Apprentices, within 100 miles of the applicant’s home residence
(whichever is greater). For the purposes of determining the actual availability of qualified
Journeyperson and Apprentices in a given area, the Union will maintain a list of unemployed
Journeymen and Apprentices. Said list shall be updated on a weekly basis and will be made
available to the JATC upon request, but shall not be used for any purpose other than the fore-
82
going. The Chairman and Secretary of the Committee will approve or reject applications for
new Apprentices based upon the above-referenced list. If unemployment within the District
of the applicant’s home address exceeds eight percent (8%) or ten (10) Journeymen and Ap-
prentices, whichever is greater, the Employer may not hire a new Apprentice for ninety (90)
days after the Committee notifies the Union of the request for an Apprentice, or until the per-
cent no longer exceeds eight percent (8%) or ten (10) Journeyperson and Apprentices within
the District of the applicant’s home address.
At the expiration of ninety (90) days, the Employer may hire three (3) new Apprentices in that
District regardless of unemployment and, thereafter, if the eight percent (8%) ten (10) Jour-
neyperson/Apprentices unemployment continues, the Employer shall hire one (1) unem-
ployed Journeyperson or Apprentice from the Union’s national unemployment list for every
new Apprentice hired during that time frame.
At the expiration of ninety (90) days, the Employer may make a second request for appren-
tices and, if the eight percent (8%)/ten (10) Journeyperson/Apprentice unemployment con-
tinues, the Employer may, after the expiration of the second ninety (90) day period, hire three
(3) new Apprentices in that District regardless of unemployment and, thereafter, if such un-
employment continues, the Employer shall hire one (1) unemployed Journeyperson or Ap-
prentice from the Union’s National Unemployment List for each new Apprentice hired during
that time frame.
Under these requirements, the Employer may hire a maximum of six (6) Apprentices in any
calendar year in any District where the eight percent (8%)/ten (10) Journeyperson/Appren-
tice unemployment continues to exist. Within fifteen (15) calendar days of the hiring of a new
Apprentice, any layoff by the Employer within one hundred (100) miles of that Apprentice’s
home address shall include the new Apprentice.
If the newly employed Apprentice is terminated by the Employer for ‘’just cause” or quits,
the Employer shall have the right to replace that apprentice.
For the purposes of determining the actual availability of qualified Journeyperson and Ap-
prentices in a given area, the Union will maintain a list of unemployed Journeyperson and
Apprentices. Said list shall be updated on a weekly basis. Said list will be made available to
the Committee upon request, but shall not be used for any purpose other than the forego-
ing. The Chairman and Secretary of the Committee will approve or reject applications for
new Apprentices based upon the above-referenced list.
The Director of Apprenticeship will provide a list of Apprentice Applications for approval on
Friday of each week (if applicable) to the Chairman and Secretary of the JATC. The Union
will respond to the list, received on Friday, the following Monday.
3. Contractors being entitled to and desiring an Apprentice shall make application for said Ap-
prentice to the Committee. The Contractor shall agree that the Apprentice will be worked
under such conditions as will result in normal advancement and that the Contractor will co-
operate in seeing that the Apprentice does the requisite amount of study and on-the-job train-
83
ing as prescribed by the Committee. The Contractor shall also agree that the Apprentice will
not be employed in a manner that may be considered as unfair to either party to these Stan-
dards and, further, the parties agree to maintain their existing procedures and rules, as de-
termined by the Committee, with respect to administration of the Apprenticeship Program. In
the event there are Apprentices available who have had their employment terminated by
some other member Contractor, such Apprentice will be placed before new Apprentices are
hired.
4. Contractors shall maintain an applicant log, showing the status and final disposition of the
applicant, copies of which shall be sent on a regular basis to the Compliance Officer.
5. Every person requesting an application shall be recorded on the applicant log and shall
be furnished an application package which will include:
a. Apprenticeship Application.
b. Information relating to work in the trade as an apprentice.
c. The Complaint Procedure.
6. Individuals receiving applicant packages shall return to the contractor the completed in-
formation, including copies of the applicant’s birth certificate, high school diploma or G.E.D.
Certificate and Military Discharge (Form DD-214) if applicable, in no more than forty-five
(45) days. Any individual, who fails to return the information after forty-five days, shall be
noted on the applicant log as being ineligible for consideration at this time.
Any individual who meets the eligibility requirements and who returns a completed package
within forty-five (45) days of its receipt shall be considered an applicant and eligible for in-
terview.
7. Interviews shall be conducted at the discretion of the contractor. When there is an exist-
ing pool of applicants, no interviews shall be conducted with less than seven (7) days notice,
via certified mail, to all eligible applicants. A new ranked list is required including
unsuccessful applicants, who will be slotted in wherever their rating score places them for a
period of two (2) years, unless the applicant has been removed from the list by their own writ-
ten request or following failure to respond to an apprenticeship opening. Applicants not
placed during the two (2) year period who were on the ranked list will be required to reap-
ply.
8. Notices shall also be sent to applicants who have previously been interviewed and ranked,
advising them of the opportunity to re-interview, provided they can demonstrate tangible
evidence of activities which have enhanced their qualifications for the job.
9. In the event any applicant fails to respond to said notices, they shall be notified by certi-
fied mail and removed from the pool of applicants and notation of such shall be made on the
Monthly Applicant Report.
84
10. Interviews shall be conducted by a committee consisting of at least two individuals.
11. Each interview session shall be scheduled to provide time to adequately cover each in-
terview grading area.
12. The interview committee shall have in its possession for review with regard to each
applicant: Application Form, High School Diploma or G.E.D. Certificate, Military Discharge
(Form DD-214) if applicable, and proof of birth date.
13. After a brief introduction, the committee will ask questions of the applicant with the pur-
pose of finding out as much as possible about the applicant as an individual and about the
applicant’s ability to perform in the apprenticeship program.
14. Questions for the interview and for purposes of evaluation will be on topics related to job
performance to determine ability to perform job, such as: work experience, education record,
mechanical abilities, and motivation.
15. Evaluation must be based on a standard of industry needs, and not by a comparison with
other applicants.
16. Adequate records shall be kept including a brief summary of each interview and the con-
clusions on each of the specific factors, e.g. motivation, ambition, and willingness to accept
direction which are part of the total judgment.
17. All applicants must be asked the same questions.
SECTION III - JATC SELECTION
1. The Contractor shall notify, via certified mail, all individuals interviewed of the results of the
interview, including their score and ranking. A numerical ranking of 1 shall be the highest
ranking, followed by 2, 3, 4, etc.
2. From the individuals interviewed, the contractor shall select in numerical order the appli-
cants sufficient to meet its employment needs.
3. Applicants not selected shall remain on the ranked list for a period of two (2) years, un-
less removed in accordance with Section II, number 8 or 10 of this procedure.
4. An applicant selected by the contractor for entry into the Apprenticeship Program, shall,
be scheduled for an examination and completion of the Medical Form. After the applicant
passes the physical examination and drug test, the contractor will forward the documents to
the Compliance Officer and retain a copy for the applicant’s file.
5. Final approval or rejection of an application submitted by a participating contractor will be

made by the Committee which will review the contractor’s eligibility for assignment of an ap-
prentice, the applicant’s eligibility for entry into the Program and the availability of journey-
85
men and/or apprentice sprinkler fitters in the applicant’s geographical area. If the applicant
is accepted for entry into the Program, a Class 1 card will be issued for the new apprentice
in care of the sponsoring contractor. If the application is rejected, the contractor and appli-
cant will be notified of the rejection and the reason therefore by certified mail and a return
receipt, requested by the Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee.
6. Veterans who completed military technical training school and participated in a registered
apprenticeship program, or completed military technical training school in a recognized ap-
prenticeable occupation, during their military service, may be given direct entry into the ap-
prenticeship program.
The Program Sponsor will evaluate the military training and on-the-job learning experience
received for the granting of appropriate credit on the term of apprenticeship and the appro-
priate wage rate.
Credit will be granted in accordance with that section identified in the Registered Appren-
ticeship Program Standards as “Credit for Previous Experience”. The request for credit will
be evaluated and a determination made by the Program Sponsor during the probationary pe-
riod when actual on-the-job learning and related instruction performance can be examined.
Prior to completion of the probationary period, the amount of credit to be awarded will be de-
termined after review of the apprentice’s previous work and training/education record and
evaluation of the apprentice’s performance, skill and knowledge demonstrated during the
probationary period. An apprentice granted credit shall be advanced to the wage rate des-
ignated for the period to which such credit accrues.
Apprentice applicants seeking credit for previous experience gained outside the supervision
of the program sponsor must submit such request at the time of application and furnish such
records, affidavits, and other (insert local requirements) to substantiate the claim.
Entry of veterans will be done without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, or sex.
SECTION IV - MAINTENANCE OF RECORDS
1. All records required for the operation and administration of this Affirmative Action Plan
shall be maintained for a period of five (5) years from the time of the last action at the con-
tractor’s and Compliance Officer’s address.
2. Records maintained by the contractor shall be available for inspection and review by the
Compliance Officer at such times and under such conditions as the Officer in his or her dis-
cretion determines.
SECTION V - COMPLAINT PROCEDURE
When a Contractor discharges an Apprentice, the Contractor shall immediately notify the
Committee in writing, giving the name of the Apprentice and the reason for discharge. Dis-
position of such an Apprentice shall be made by the Committee within sixty (60) days of re-
86
ceipt of notice of discharge. Apprentices shall have the right to request an appearance be-
fore the Committee concerning specific issues or matters dealing with their Apprenticeship
Agreement. Such requests shall be in writing. In case of dissatisfaction between the Con-
tractor and the Apprentice, either party has the right and privilege of appeal to the Commit-
tee for such action and adjustment of such matters as come within the Standards.
For issues regarding wages, hours, working conditions, and other issues covered by the
Collective Bargaining Agreement, Apprentices may seek resolution through the applicable
dispute settlement provisions of that Agreement after first bringing documented evidence to
the Committee.
The Committee shall hear and consider all complaints of violations concerning the Appren-
ticeship Agreement and the registered Apprenticeship Standards. Either party to the Ap-
prenticeship Agreement may consult with the Office of Apprenticeship for an interpretation
of any provision of the Standards over which differences occur.
Any Apprentice or applicant for Apprenticeship who believes they have been discriminated
against on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin or sex with regard to Apprentice-
ship, or that the equal opportunity standards with respect to their selection have not been fol-
lowed in the operation of the Apprenticeship Program, may contact directly personally or
through an authorized representative, to file a compliant with the Registration Agency or, at
the apprentices or applicant’s election, with the private review body established by the local
JATC (if applicable).
Complaints to the U.S. Department of Labor, which may be filed by the Apprentice or through
an authorized representative of the Apprentice, must be filed not later than one hundred
eighty (180) days from the date of the alleged discrimination or specified failure to follow the
equal opportunity standards. The complaint shall be in writing and shall be signed by the
complainant. It must include the name, address, and telephone number of the person al-
legedly discriminated against, the Program Sponsor involved, and a brief description of the
circumstances of the failure to apply the equal opportunity standard.
Complaints of harassment in the apprenticeship program may be filed and processed under
Title 29, CFR Part 30, and the procedures as set forth above.
