<br />Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 5). Under 40 U.S.C. § 3702 of the Act, each <br />contractor must be required to compute the wages of every mechanic and laborer based on a <br />standard work week of forty (40) hours. Work in excess of the standard work week is <br />permissible provided that the worker is compensated at a rate of not less than one and a half <br />times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of forty (40) hours in the work week. <br />The requirements of 40 U.S.C. § 3704 are applicable to construction work and provide that no <br />laborer or mechanic must be required to work in surroundings or under working conditions <br />which are unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous. These requirements do not apply to the <br />purchases of supplies or materials or articles ordinarily available on the open market, or <br />contracts for transportation or transmission of intelligence. <br />In the event of any violation of the clause set forth herein, the Contractor and any subcontractor <br />responsible therefor shall be liable for the unpaid wages. In addition, the Contractor and <br />subcontractor shall be liable to the United States (in the case of work done under contract for <br />the District of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory), for liquidated <br />damages. Such liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer or <br />mechanic, including watchmen and guards, employed in violation of this clause in the sum of <br />$27.00 for each calendar day on which such individual was required or permitted to work in <br />excess of the standard workweek of forty hours without payment of the overtime wages <br />required by this clause. <br />The City shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of <br />the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld, from any moneys payable on <br />account of work performed by the Contractor or subcontractor under any such contract or any <br />other Federal contract with the same prime Contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract <br />subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, which is held by the same prime <br />Contractor, such sums as may be determined to be necessary to satisfy any liabilities of such <br />Contractor or subcontractor for unpaid wages and liquidated damages as provided in this <br />section. <br />The Contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses set forth in this <br />section and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier <br />subcontracts. The prime Contractor shall be responsible for compliance by any subcontractor or <br />lower tier subcontractor with the clauses set forth in this Contract. <br />12.
