No fee is payable on the basis of costs itemized under Paragraph 15.01.D; General Conditions 00 72 00-62 Corpus Christi Standards Rev 6/2021 e. Five percent of the net decrease in the cost is to be deducted for changes which result in a net decrease in Contract Price; and 4. The adjustment in Contractor's fee is based on the net change in accordance with Paragraphs 15.05.13.1 through 15.05.13.5, inclusive when both additions and credits are involved in any one change. F.

The initial Contract Price for Unit Price Work is equal to the sum of the unit price line items in the Agreement. Each unit price line item amount is equal to the product of the unit price for each line item times the estimated quantity of each item as indicated in the Contract. B. The estimated quantities of items of Unit Price Work are not guaranteed and are solely for the purpose of comparing Bids and determining an initial Contract Price. Payments to Contractor for Unit Price Work are to be based on actual quantities measured for Work in place. C.

There is no corresponding adjustment with respect to other items of Work; and 3. Contractor believes it has incurred additional expense as a result of this condition or Owner believes that the quantity variation entitles Owner to an adjustment in the Contract Price. 15.04 Contingencies A. Contingency funds may be included in the Contract Price to pay for Work not defined specifically by the Contract Documents that is essential to the completion of the Project. Contingency funds will be as described in the Contract. B. The contingency funds may be used for costs incurred by the Contractor provided these costs are approved by the Owner.

Please see the Note at the top of the wage determination for more information. Please also note that the minimum wage requirements of Executive Order 14026 are not currently being enforced as to any contract or subcontract to which the states of Texas, Louisiana, or Mississippi, including their agencies, are a party. Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017 . If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year. Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is Supplementary Conditions 00 73 00-7 23099—C.VALENZUELA BACKUP GENERATORS Rev 3/2023 like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at https: //www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts . Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (iii) ) . ---------------------------------------------------------------- The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type (s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of ""identifiers"" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local) , a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate) . Union Rate Identifiers A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than ""SU"" or ""UAVG"" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example: PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014 . PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e. , Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014 . Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate. Survey Rate Identifiers Classifications listed under the ""SU"" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014 . SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted. Union Average Rate Identifiers Classification (s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate Supplementary Conditions 00 73 00-8 23099-C.VALENZUELA BACKUP GENERATORS Rev 3/2023 that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 1000 of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 08/29/2014 . UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Supplementary Conditions 00 73 00-9 23099-C.VALENZUELA BACKUP GENERATORS Rev 3/2023 WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS 1 . ) Has there been an initial decision in the matter?

Staples Street Corpus Christi, Texas 78411 Limited Lead Material Identification Inspection Cefe Valenzuela Landfill Backup Generator Area Corpus Christi, TX 04/15/2024 James H. Griffin, CSP President Lead Firm License # 2110493 C24-029 PURPOSE 1. To determine the presence or absence of lead containing material in the Cefe Valenzuela Landfill, Backup Generators area, in Corpus Christi, Texas. The determination of the lead content of suspect materials is to be based on the analytical results of Lead material samples. 2. To develop a lead containing material inventory list, which identifies the location and quantity of lead containing materials. SUMMARY OF INSPECTION On March 19th, 2024, All Points Environmental LLC., a Licensed Lead Firm (TDSHS No. 2110493) conducted a limited lead Inspection in the Back up Generators area mentioned above. Two (2) Paint samples were collected and were subsequently submitted to a Licensed Lead Laboratory, SanAir Technologies Laboratory (Lab ID No.: 162952). Due to an error, one (1) sample was not able to be tested so an additional sample was collected. Additionally On March 27th, 2024, All Points Environmental LLC., a Licensed Lead Firm (TDSHS No. 2110493) conducted a limited lead Inspection in the Backup Generators area mentioned above. One (1) Paint sample was collected and were subsequently submitted to a Licensed Lead Laboratory, SanAir Technologies Laboratory (Lab ID No.: 162952). Data necessary to establish an inventory of Lead containing materials was collected during the field activities. SUMMARY AND DISCUSSION OF RESULTS SanAir Technologies analyzed a total of Two (2)paint materials suspected of lead content. Of the total paint samples collected, all of the samples were reported to contain lead. Suspected Lead Paint Samples Table I Sample# Description/Location Lead Content(% by weight) 05-01 Beige Paint <0.010% Rear,Storage(East wall) 05-11 Green Paint <0.010% (Rear of Generator) CONCLUSIONS Lead Containing Paint(LCP) was present in the samples taken. (See Lab Results) 2 Note: The OSHA Lead in Construction Standard, 29 CFR 1926.62, is invoked if any lead is present in the sample. Lead free paint is defined as <0.009% by weight(CPSC). SAMPLE COLLECTION AND ANALYTICAL METHODOLOGIES Lead samples were collected on the basis of suspected lead content. As lead samples of suspect materials were collected, a specific sample number was issued. Random numbers from ILA Fisher and F. Yates, Statistical Tables for Biological, Agricultural, and Medical Research, Table XXXIII, Random Numbers, were utilized to reduce the possibility of bias by the laboratory technicians during the analysis phase. A chain of custody was established for all samples collected to verify transfer of possession. A laboratory accredited by the American Industrial Hygiene Association(AIHA) is acquired to perform Pb analysis of environmental samples for Lead content. Pb was extracted from each sample using EPA Method 3050B. The Pb concentration in each sample extract was determined by means of Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometery (AAS), as outlined in the EPA Method SW-846 7420. 3 Texas Department of State Health Services BE IT KNOWN THAT ALL POINTS ENVIRONMENTAL LLC is certified to perform as a Lead Firm in the State of Texas and is herebygovemed by the rights,pm leges and responsibilities set forth in Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 1955 and Tide 25, Texas Admihistrative Code, Chapter 295 ZE 0 A P F relating to Texas Environmental Lead Reduction, as long as this license is not suspended or revoked.
