Before any such payment is made to a subcontractor or supplier, the state shall provide the Contract Vendor written notice that payment will be made directly to a subcontractor or supplier. If there are no remaining outstanding payments to the Contract Vendor, the state shall have no obligation to pay or to see to the payment of money to a subcontractor except as may otherwise be required by law. SITE VISIT. All vendors shall visit the site of the project, take their own measurements and verify all specifications and conditions pertinent to the project in order to ensure its proper completion. Ignorance of site conditions will not be the basis for any change order request. Vendors must contact the Agency representative to coordinate the date and time for their site visit. LAWS AND REGULATIONS. Any and all services, articles, or equipment offered and furnished shall comply fully with all local, state, and federal laws and regulations, including Minn. Stat. 181.59, prohibiting discrimination, and Minn. Stat. 177.42 - 177.44, concerning prevailing wages. NO ASBESTOS.

PREVAILING WAGE REQUIREMENTS. Pursuant to Minn. Stat. 177.41 to 177.44 and corresponding Minn. R. 5200.1000 to 5200.1120, this contract is subject to the prevailing wages as established by the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry. Specifically, all contractors and subcontractors must pay all laborers and mechanics the established prevailing wages for work performed under the contract. Failure to comply with the aforementioned may result in civil or criminal penalties. It is in the public interest that public buildings and other public works be constructed and maintained by the best means and highest quality of labor reasonably available and that persons working on public works be compensated according to the real value of the services they perform. It is therefore the policy of this state that wages of laborers, workers, and mechanics on projects financed in whole or part by state funds should be comparable to wages paid for similar work in the community as a whole. Applicability. This section does not apply to a contract, or work under a contract, under which: (1) the estimated total cost of completing the project is less than $2,500 and only one trade or occupation is required to complete it, or (2) the estimated total cost of completing the project is less than $25,000 and more than one trade or occupation is required to complete it. The prevailing hours of labor may not be more than eight hours per day or more than 40 hours per week. Pursuant to Minn. Stat. 177.43, "No laborer or mechanic employed directly on the project work site by the Contractor or any subcontractor, agent or other person doing or contracting to do all or a part of the work of the project, is permitted or required to work more hours than the prevailing hours of labor unless paid for all hours in excess of the prevailing hours at a rate of at least 1-1/2 times the hourly basic rate of pay; and a laborer or mechanic may not be paid a lesser rate of wages than the prevailing wage rate in the same or most similar trade or occupation in the area." Nothing in this Contract shall be construed as prohibiting the Contractor or subcontractor paying a higher negotiated wage rate. This requirement does not apply to wage rates and hours of employment of laborers or mechanics who process or manufacture materials or products or to the delivery of materials or products by or for commercial establishments which have a fixed place of business from which they regularly supply processed or manufactured materials or products. This section applies to laborers or mechanics who deliver mineral aggregate such as sand, gravel, or stone which is incorporated into the work under the contract by depositing the material substantially in place, directly or through spreaders, from the transporting vehicle. To facilitate compliance pursuant to the statute, wage determinations (prevailing wages) were prepared for different trades for each county from which labor for said project would be secured and are included and published in the Contract Specifications. Any wage determinations that are found not to be so promulgated do not relieve the Contractor from any responsibility for paying the prevailing wage rate of the trade in question. All laborers, workers, and mechanics must be paid the prevailing wage rate for work performed on the project. If the wage certification or published prevailing wages do not include a rate for a classification of work used on the project, the contractor shall contact the Department of Labor and Industry to obtain a rate. In accordance with Minn. Stat. 177.30, subd. 4 and 177.43, subd. 3, the Contractor and Subcontractor shall furnish to the Contracting Authority and the Project Owner all payrolls, of all workers on the project, a certified payroll report via E mail as attachments, a State of Minnesota Prevailing Wage Payroll Report as a Microsoft Excel file and Statement of Compliance Form as a PDF file to the appropriate E mail addresses listed on the Purchase Order. The State of Minnesota Prevailing Wage Payroll Report and Statement of Compliance Form are available on the MMD website at www.mmd.admin.state.mn.us/mn02000.htm. Submit the completed and signed State of Minnesota Prevailing Wage Payroll Report as a Microsoft Excel file and the Statement of Compliance Form as a PDF file, no other payroll forms will be accepted to meet this requirement with the exception of Mn/DOT (see below). These completed forms must be furnished not more than 14 days after the end of each pay period. The Subject Line on the Contractor's and Subcontractor's E mail must show the Firm name and the Contract Number or Purchase Order Number and the pay period ending date. Failure to maintain records as required by Minn. Stat. 177.30 (2010) may be fined up to $1,000.00 for each failure to maintain said records. This penalty is in addition to any penalties provided under Minn. Stat. 177.32, subd. 1. Contractors and subcontractors must keep these records for three years after the contracting authority has made final payment on the public works project. The Contractor is solely responsible for payment of all required Prevailing Wage rates. Further, the state will not be liable for increased labor cost, errors in the rates or classifications, or changes to same prior to the awarding of Contracts. Information pertaining to the prevailing wage rates, prevailing hours of labor and hourly basic rates are included in this specification. Said wage rates must be posted in at least one conspicuous place for the employees working on the project. Any Contractor, subcontractor, or agent, who, after executing a contract in compliance with this section, pays to any laborer, workman, or mechanic employed directly on the project, a lesser wage for work done on the project than the prevailing wage rate, shall be subject to fine and imprisonment. This misdemeanor is punishable by a fine of not more than $700, or imprisonment for not more than 90 days, or both. Each agent or subcontractor shall furnish to the contractor evidence of compliance with this section. Each day a violation of this section continues is a separate offense In accordance with Minn. Stat. 177.43, subd. 6a, upon issuance of a notice of a compliance order and withholding order issued by the Department of Labor and Industry to the Contractor of subcontractor or another employer pursuant to Minn. Stat. 177.27, subd. 4 for violation of Minn. Stat. 177.41 to 177.44, the Owner, as the contracting authority shall withhold payment of sufficient sum to the prime or general contractor on the project to satisfy the back wages assessed or otherwise cure the violation, and the owner must withhold the sum ordered until the compliance order has become a final order and has been fully paid or otherwise resolved by the Contractor.

The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when this transaction was entered into. If it is later determined that the prospective lower tier participant knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department or agency with which this transaction originated may pursue available remedies, including suspension and/or debarment. The prospective lower tier participant shall provide immediate written notice to the person to whom this proposal [response] is submitted if at any time the prospective lower tier participant learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or had become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. The terms covered transaction, debarred, suspended, ineligible, lower tier covered transaction, participant, person, primary covered transaction, principal, proposal, and voluntarily excluded, as used in this clause, have the meaning set out in the Definitions and Coverages sections of rules implementing Executive Order12549.

The prospective lower tier participant agrees by submitting this response that, should the proposed covered transaction be entered into, it shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier covered transaction [subcontract equal to or exceeding $25,000] with a person who is proposed for debarment under 48 CFR part9, subpart9.4, debarred, suspended, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this covered transaction, unless authorized by the department or agency with which this transaction originated. The prospective lower tier participant further agrees by submitting this proposal that it will include this clause titled "A Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and Voluntary Exclusion--Lower Tier Covered Transaction," without modification, in all lower tier covered transactions and in all solicitations for lower tier covered transactions. A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification of a prospective participant in a lower tier covered transaction that it is not proposed for debarment under 48 CFR part 9, subpart 9.4, debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from covered transactions, unless it knows that the certification is erroneous.
