The contractor shall ensure that any firm(Supplier, Manufacturer, or Fabricator)that falls under the provisions of RCW 39.12 because of the definition "Contractor" in WAC 296-127-010, complies with all the requirements of RCW 39.12. 8.

A change order will be prepared to ensure that this occurs. 10. The City will reimburse the contractor for the actual cost to pay the difference between the correct rates and the rates included in the Contract Provisions, subject to the following conditions: 1. The affected firm relied upon the rates included in the Contract Provisions to prepare its Bid and certifies that it did so; 2. The allowable amount of reimbursement will be the difference between the rates listed and rates later determined to be correct plus only appropriate payroll markup the employer must pay, such as, social security and other payments the employer must make to the Federal or State Government; 3. The allowable amount of reimbursement may also include some overhead cost, such as, the cost for bond, insurance, and making supplemental payrolls and new checks to the employees because of underpayment for previously performed Work; and 4.
