Could <br />you please provide the geotech report? <br />See Volume 7 Attachment B for the Geotechnical Engineering Report. <br />Q13 – The bidder is requesting clarification on how labor classifications are determined <br />under the PLA, expressing concern that contractors may assign work to lower-paid <br />classifications after bid submittal, potentially affecting bid accuracy. <br />The Project Labor Agreement (PLA) does not assign or dictate craft <br />classifications prior to bid submission. Contractors are responsible for <br />determining how they will execute the scope of work and for correctly identifying <br />worker classifications consistent with applicable state prevailing wage <br />regulations. Contractors must apply the appropriate prevailing wage rate to each <br />classification when preparing their bid. <br />Following contract award, the PLA requires contractors to submit pre-job <br />documentation identifying the scope of work, proposed trade assignments, and <br />classifications. These are reviewed during the Pre-Job Conference. While labor <br />organizations may raise questions or request clarification at this stage, final trade <br />assignments remain at the contractor’s discretion. However, all contractors <br />remain fully responsible for compliance with applicable prevailing wage <br />requirements and regulations. <br />Misclassification of work may result in significant financial liabilities, including <br />wage differentials, penalties, and corrective payments. Contractors are reminded <br />that bid pricing should reflect accurate classification and wage determinations at <br />the time of bid. Misclassification does not provide a basis for change orders or <br />contract modifications post-award.
