CITY OF EVERETT PUBLIC WORKS SPECIAL PROVISIONS until all of the "Affidavit of Prevailing Wages Paid" forms have been approved by State L&I and a copy of all the approved forms have been submitted to the Engineer. The contractor shall be responsible for requesting these forms from State L&I and for paying any approval fees required by State L&I. Certified payrolls are required to be submitted by the contractor to the City, for the contractor and all subcontractors or lower tier subcontractors, on all Federal-aid projects and, when requested in writing by the City, on projects funded with only City funds. If these payrolls are not supplied within 10 calendar days of the end of the preceding weekly payroll period for Federal-aid projects or within 10 calendar days from the date of the written request on projects with only City funds, any or all payments may be withheld until compliance is achieved. Also, failure to provide these payrolls could result in other sanctions as provided by State laws (RCW 39.12.050) and/or Federal regulations (29 CFR 5.12). All certified payrolls shall be complete and explicit. Employee labor descriptions used on certified payrolls shall coincide exactly with the labor descriptions listed on the minimum wage schedule in the Contract unless the City approves an alternate method to identify the labor used by the contractor to compare with the labor listed in the Contract Documents. When an apprentice is shown on the certified payroll at a rate less than the minimum prevailing journey wage rate, the apprenticeship registration number for that employee from the State Apprenticeship and Training Council shall be shown along with the correct employee classification code. Audits The City may inspect or audit the contractor's wage and payroll records. Worker's Benefits The contractor shall make all payments required for unemployment compensation under Title 50 RCW and for industrial insurance and medical aid required under Title 51 RCW. If any payment required by Title 50 or Title 51 is not made when due, the City may retain such payments from any money due the contractor and pay the same into the appropriate fund. Such payment will be made only after giving the contractor 15 days prior written notice of the City's intent to disburse the funds to the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries or Washington State Employment Security Department as applicable. The payment will be made upon expiration of the 15 calendar day period if no legal action has been commenced to resolve the validity of the claim. If legal action is instituted to determine the validity of the claim prior to the expiration of the 15-day period, the City will hold the funds until determination of the action or written settlement agreement of the appropriate parties. For Work on or adjacent to water, the contractor shall make the determination as to whether workers are to be covered under the Longshoremen's and Harbor Worker's Compensation Act administered by the U.S. Department of Labor, or the State Industrial Insurance coverage administered by the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries. The contractor shall include in the various items in the Bid Proposal all costs for payment of unemployment compensation and for providing either or both of the insurance coverages. The contractor will not be entitled to any additional payment for: (1) failure to include such costs, or (2) determinations made by the U.S. Department of Labor or the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries regarding the insurance coverage. The Public Works Contract Division of the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries will provide the contractor with applicable industrial insurance and medical aid classification and premium rates. After receipt of a Revenue Release from the Washington State Department of Revenue, the City will verify through the Department of Labor and Industries that the contractor is current with respect to the payments of industrial insurance and medical aid premiums.
