Length of service includesthe whole span of continuous service with the present contractor or successor,wherever employed, and with the predecessor contractors in the performance ofsimilar work at the same Federal facility. (Reg. 29 CFR 4.173)HOLIDAYS: A minimum of ten paid holidays per year, New Year's Day, Martin LutherKing Jr's Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, LaborDay, Columbus Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. (Acontractor may substitute for any of the named holidays another day off with pay inaccordance with a plan communicated to the employees involved.) (See 29 CFR 4174)THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMBERED FOOTNOTES IN PARENTHESES RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING:1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: Under the SCA at section 8(b), this wage determination doesnot apply to any employee who individually qualifies as a bona fide executive,administrative, or professional employee as defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 541. Becausemost Computer System Analysts and Computer Programmers who are compensated at a ratenot less than $27.63 (or on a salary or fee basis at a rate not less than $455 perweek) an hour would likely qualify as exempt computer professionals, (29 C.F.R. 541.400) wage rates may not be listed on this wage determination for all occupationswithin those job families. In addition, because this wage determination may notlist a wage rate for some or all occupations within those job families if the surveydata indicates that the prevailing wage rate for the occupation equals or exceeds$27.63 per hour conformances may be necessary for certain nonexempt employees. Forexample, if an individual employee is nonexempt but nevertheless performs dutieswithin the scope of one of the Computer Systems Analyst or Computer Programmeroccupations for which this wage determination does not specify an SCA wage rate,then the wage rate for that employee must be conformed in accordance with theconformance procedures described in the conformance note included on this wagedetermination.Additionally, because job titles vary widely and change quickly in the computerindustry, job titles are not determinative of the application of the computerprofessional exemption. Therefore, the exemption applies only to computer employeeswho satisfy the compensation requirements and whose primary duty consists of: (1) The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures, includingconsulting with users, to determine hardware, software or system functionalspecifications; (2) The design, development, documentation, analysis, creation, testing ormodification of computer systems or programs, including prototypes, based on andrelated to user or system design specifications; (3) The design, documentation, testing, creation or modification of computerprograms related to machine operating systems; or (4) A combination of the aforementioned duties, the performance of whichrequires the same level of skills. (29 C.F.R. 541.400).2) AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS AND WEATHER OBSERVERS - NIGHT PAY & SUNDAY PAY: If youwork at night as part of a regular tour of duty, you will earn a night differentialand receive an additional 10% of basic pay for any hours worked between 6pm and 6am. If you are a full-time employed (40 hours a week) and Sunday is part of yourregularly scheduled workweek, you are paid at your rate of basic pay plus a Sundaypremium of 25% of your basic rate for each hour of Sunday work which is not overtime(i.e. occasional work on Sunday outside the normal tour of duty is consideredovertime work).HAZARDOUS PAY DIFFERENTIAL: An 8 percent differential is applicable to employeesemployed in a position that represents a high degree of hazard when working with orin close proximity to ordinance, explosives, and incendiary materials. Thisincludes work such as screening, blending, dying, mixing, and pressing of sensitiveordance, explosives, and pyrotechnic compositions such as lead azide, black powderand photoflash powder. All dry-house activities involving propellants or explosives. Demilitarization, modification, renovation, demolition, and maintenance operationson sensitive ordnance, explosives and incendiary materials. All operationsinvolving regrading and cleaning of artillery ranges.A 4 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position thatrepresents a low degree of hazard when working with, or in close proximity toordance, (or employees possibly adjacent to) explosives and incendiary materialswhich involves potential injury such as laceration of hands, face, or arms of theemployee engaged in the operation, irritation of the skin, minor burns and thelike; minimal damage to immediate or adjacent work area or equipment being used.All operations involving, unloading, storage, and hauling of ordance, explosive, andincendiary ordnance material other than small arms ammunition. These differentialsare only applicable to work that has been specifically designated by the agency forordance, explosives, and incendiary material differential pay.** UNIFORM ALLOWANCE **If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this contract(either by the terms of the Government contract, by the employer, by the state orlocal law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (bylaundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by anemployee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the wagedetermination. The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance with thefollowing standards as compliance:The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with anadequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the actualcost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and maintenance is madethe responsibility of the employee, all contractors and subcontractors subject tothis wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective bargainingagreement providing for a different amount, or the furnishing of contraryaffirmative proof as to the actual cost), reimburse all employees for such cleaningand maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week (or $.67 cents per day). However, inthose instances where the uniforms furnished are made of "wash and wear"materials, may be routinely washed and dried with other personal garments, and donot require any special treatment such as dry cleaning, daily washing, or commerciallaundering in order to meet the cleanliness or appearance standards set by the termsof the Government contract, by the contractor, by law, or by the nature of the work,there is no requirement that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs.The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the"Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations", Fifth Edition, April 2006,unless otherwise indicated. Copies of the Directory are available on the Internet. Alinks to the Directory may be found on the WHD home page at or through the Wage Determinations On-Line (WDOL) Web site at FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND WAGE RATE {Standard Form1444 (SF 1444)}Conformance Process:The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee which isnot listed herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e., the work tobe performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wagedetermination), be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonablerelationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlistedclassifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination. Suchconformed classes of employees shall be paid the monetary wages and furnished thefringe benefits as are determined. Such conforming process shall be initiated bythe contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es)of employees. The conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits shallbe retroactive to the commencement date of the contract. {See Section 4.6 (C)(vi)}When multiple wage determinations are included in a contract, a separate SF 1444should be prepared for each wage determination to which a class(es) is to beconformed.The process for preparing a conformance request is as follows:1) When preparing the bid, the contractor identifies the need for a conformedoccupation(s) and computes a proposed rate(s).2) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report listing in orderproposed classification title(s), a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for eachproposed classification(s), job description(s), and rationale for proposed wagerate(s), including information regarding the agreement or disagreement of theauthorized representative of the employees involved, or where there is no authorizedrepresentative, the employees themselves. This report should be submitted to thecontracting officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted class(es) of employeesperforms any contract work.3) The contracting officer reviews the proposed action and promptly submits a reportof the action, together with the agency's recommendations and pertinentinformation including the position of the contractor and the employees, to the Wageand Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor,for review. (See section 4.6(b)(2) of Regulations 29 CFR Part 4).4) Within 30 days of receipt, the Wage and Hour Division approves, modifies, ordisapproves the action via transmittal to the agency contracting officer, ornotifies the contracting officer that additional time will be required to processthe request.5) The contracting officer transmits the Wage and Hour decision to the contractor.6) The contractor informs the affected rmation required by the Regulations must be submitted on SF 1444 or bond paper.When preparing a conformance request, the "Service Contract Act Directory ofOccupations" (the Directory) should be used to compare job definitions to insurethat duties requested are not performed by a classification already listed in thewage determination. Remember, it is not the job title, but the required tasks thatdetermine whether a class is included in an established wage determination.Conformances may not be used to artificially split, combine, or subdivideclassifications listed in the wage determination.Attachment D.2 WD 05-2235 (Rev.-14) was first posted on on 06/19/2012************************************************************************************REGISTER OF WAGE DETERMINATIONS UNDER | U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR THE SERVICE CONTRACT ACT | EMPLOYMENT STANDARDS ADMINISTRATIONBy direction of the Secretary of Labor | WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION | WASHINGTON D.C. 20210 | | | | Wage Determination No.: 2005-2235Diane C.

Length of serviceincludes the whole span of continuous service with the present contractor orsuccessor, wherever employed, and with the predecessor contractors in theperformance of similar work at the same Federal facility. (Reg. 29 CFR 4.173)HOLIDAYS: A minimum of ten paid holidays per year, New Year's Day, Martin LutherKing Jr's Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, LaborDay, Columbus Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. (Acontractor may substitute for any of the named holidays another day off with pay inaccordance with a plan communicated to the employees involved.) (See 29 CFR 4174)THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMBERED FOOTNOTES IN PARENTHESES RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING:1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: Under the SCA at section 8(b), this wage determination doesnot apply to any employee who individually qualifies as a bona fide executive,administrative, or professional employee as defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 541. Becausemost Computer System Analysts and Computer Programmers who are compensated at a ratenot less than $27.63 (or on a salary or fee basis at a rate not less than $455 perweek) an hour would likely qualify as exempt computer professionals, (29 C.F.R. 541.400) wage rates may not be listed on this wage determination for all occupationswithin those job families. In addition, because this wage determination may notlist a wage rate for some or all occupations within those job families if the surveydata indicates that the prevailing wage rate for the occupation equals or exceeds$27.63 per hour conformances may be necessary for certain nonexempt employees. Forexample, if an individual employee is nonexempt but nevertheless performs dutieswithin the scope of one of the Computer Systems Analyst or Computer Programmeroccupations for which this wage determination does not specify an SCA wage rate,then the wage rate for that employee must be conformed in accordance with theconformance procedures described in the conformance note included on this wagedetermination.Additionally, because job titles vary widely and change quickly in the computerindustry, job titles are not determinative of the application of the computerprofessional exemption. Therefore, the exemption applies only to computer employeeswho satisfy the compensation requirements and whose primary duty consists of: (1) The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures, includingconsulting with users, to determine hardware, software or system functionalspecifications; (2) The design, development, documentation, analysis, creation, testing ormodification of computer systems or programs, including prototypes, based on andrelated to user or system design specifications; (3) The design, documentation, testing, creation or modification of computerprograms related to machine operating systems; or (4) A combination of the aforementioned duties, the performance of whichrequires the same level of skills. (29 C.F.R. 541.400).2) AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS AND WEATHER OBSERVERS - NIGHT PAY & SUNDAY PAY: If youwork at night as part of a regular tour of duty, you will earn a night differentialand receive an additional 10% of basic pay for any hours worked between 6pm and 6am. If you are a full-time employed (40 hours a week) and Sunday is part of yourregularly scheduled workweek, you are paid at your rate of basic pay plus a Sundaypremium of 25% of your basic rate for each hour of Sunday work which is not overtime(i.e. occasional work on Sunday outside the normal tour of duty is consideredovertime work).HAZARDOUS PAY DIFFERENTIAL: An 8 percent differential is applicable to employeesemployed in a position that represents a high degree of hazard when working with orin close proximity to ordinance, explosives, and incendiary materials. Thisincludes work such as screening, blending, dying, mixing, and pressing of sensitiveordance, explosives, and pyrotechnic compositions such as lead azide, black powderand photoflash powder. All dry-house activities involving propellants or explosives. Demilitarization, modification, renovation, demolition, and maintenance operationson sensitive ordnance, explosives and incendiary materials. All operationsinvolving regrading and cleaning of artillery ranges.A 4 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position thatrepresents a low degree of hazard when working with, or in close proximity toordance, (or employees possibly adjacent to) explosives and incendiary materialswhich involves potential injury such as laceration of hands, face, or arms of theemployee engaged in the operation, irritation of the skin, minor burns and thelike; minimal damage to immediate or adjacent work area or equipment being used.All operations involving, unloading, storage, and hauling of ordance, explosive, andincendiary ordnance material other than small arms ammunition. These differentialsare only applicable to work that has been specifically designated by the agency forordance, explosives, and incendiary material differential pay.** UNIFORM ALLOWANCE **If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this contract(either by the terms of the Government contract, by the employer, by the state orlocal law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (bylaundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by anemployee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the wagedetermination. The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance with thefollowing standards as compliance:The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with anadequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the actualcost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and maintenance is madethe responsibility of the employee, all contractors and subcontractors subject tothis wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective bargainingagreement providing for a different amount, or the furnishing of contraryaffirmative proof as to the actual cost), reimburse all employees for such cleaningand maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week (or $.67 cents per day). However, inthose instances where the uniforms furnished are made of "wash and wear"materials, may be routinely washed and dried with other personal garments, and donot require any special treatment such as dry cleaning, daily washing, or commerciallaundering in order to meet the cleanliness or appearance standards set by the termsof the Government contract, by the contractor, by law, or by the nature of the work,there is no requirement that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs.The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the"Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations", Fifth Edition, April 2006,unless otherwise indicated. Copies of the Directory are available on the Internet. Alinks to the Directory may be found on the WHD home page at or through the Wage Determinations On-Line (WDOL) Web site at FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND WAGE RATE {Standard Form1444 (SF 1444)}Conformance Process:The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee which isnot listed herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e., the work tobe performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wagedetermination), be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonablerelationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlistedclassifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination. Suchconformed classes of employees shall be paid the monetary wages and furnished thefringe benefits as are determined. Such conforming process shall be initiated bythe contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es)of employees. The conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits shallbe retroactive to the commencement date of the contract. {See Section 4.6 (C)(vi)}When multiple wage determinations are included in a contract, a separate SF 1444should be prepared for each wage determination to which a class(es) is to beconformed.The process for preparing a conformance request is as follows:1) When preparing the bid, the contractor identifies the need for a conformedoccupation(s) and computes a proposed rate(s).2) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report listing in orderproposed classification title(s), a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for eachproposed classification(s), job description(s), and rationale for proposed wagerate(s), including information regarding the agreement or disagreement of theauthorized representative of the employees involved, or where there is no authorizedrepresentative, the employees themselves. This report should be submitted to thecontracting officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted class(es) of employeesperforms any contract work.3) The contracting officer reviews the proposed action and promptly submits a reportof the action, together with the agency's recommendations and pertinentinformation including the position of the contractor and the employees, to the Wageand Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor,for review. (See section 4.6(b)(2) of Regulations 29 CFR Part 4).4) Within 30 days of receipt, the Wage and Hour Division approves, modifies, ordisapproves the action via transmittal to the agency contracting officer, ornotifies the contracting officer that additional time will be required to processthe request.5) The contracting officer transmits the Wage and Hour decision to the contractor.6) The contractor informs the affected rmation required by the Regulations must be submitted on SF 1444 or bond paper.When preparing a conformance request, the "Service Contract Act Directory ofOccupations" (the Directory) should be used to compare job definitions to insurethat duties requested are not performed by a classification already listed in thewage determination. Remember, it is not the job title, but the required tasks thatdetermine whether a class is included in an established wage determination.Conformances may not be used to artificially split, combine, or subdivideclassifications listed in the wage determination.Attachment D.3WD 05-2509 (Rev.-13) was first posted on on 06/19/2012************************************************************************************REGISTER OF WAGE DETERMINATIONS UNDER | U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR THE SERVICE CONTRACT ACT | EMPLOYMENT STANDARDS ADMINISTRATIONBy direction of the Secretary of Labor | WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION | WASHINGTON D.C. 20210 | | | | Wage Determination No.: 2005-2509Diane C.

Length of serviceincludes the whole span of continuous service with the present contractor orsuccessor, wherever employed, and with the predecessor contractors in theperformance of similar work at the same Federal facility. (Reg. 29 CFR 4.173)HOLIDAYS: A minimum of ten paid holidays per year, New Year's Day, Martin LutherKing Jr's Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, LaborDay, Columbus Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. (Acontractor may substitute for any of the named holidays another day off with pay inaccordance with a plan communicated to the employees involved.) (See 29 CFR 4174)THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMBERED FOOTNOTES IN PARENTHESES RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING:1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: Under the SCA at section 8(b), this wage determination doesnot apply to any employee who individually qualifies as a bona fide executive,administrative, or professional employee as defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 541. Becausemost Computer System Analysts and Computer Programmers who are compensated at a ratenot less than $27.63 (or on a salary or fee basis at a rate not less than $455 perweek) an hour would likely qualify as exempt computer professionals, (29 C.F.R. 541.400) wage rates may not be listed on this wage determination for all occupationswithin those job families. In addition, because this wage determination may notlist a wage rate for some or all occupations within those job families if the surveydata indicates that the prevailing wage rate for the occupation equals or exceeds$27.63 per hour conformances may be necessary for certain nonexempt employees. Forexample, if an individual employee is nonexempt but nevertheless performs dutieswithin the scope of one of the Computer Systems Analyst or Computer Programmeroccupations for which this wage determination does not specify an SCA wage rate,then the wage rate for that employee must be conformed in accordance with theconformance procedures described in the conformance note included on this wagedetermination.Additionally, because job titles vary widely and change quickly in the computerindustry, job titles are not determinative of the application of the computerprofessional exemption. Therefore, the exemption applies only to computer employeeswho satisfy the compensation requirements and whose primary duty consists of: (1) The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures, includingconsulting with users, to determine hardware, software or system functionalspecifications; (2) The design, development, documentation, analysis, creation, testing ormodification of computer systems or programs, including prototypes, based on andrelated to user or system design specifications; (3) The design, documentation, testing, creation or modification of computerprograms related to machine operating systems; or (4) A combination of the aforementioned duties, the performance of whichrequires the same level of skills. (29 C.F.R. 541.400).2) AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS AND WEATHER OBSERVERS - NIGHT PAY & SUNDAY PAY: If youwork at night as part of a regular tour of duty, you will earn a night differentialand receive an additional 10% of basic pay for any hours worked between 6pm and 6am. If you are a full-time employed (40 hours a week) and Sunday is part of yourregularly scheduled workweek, you are paid at your rate of basic pay plus a Sundaypremium of 25% of your basic rate for each hour of Sunday work which is not overtime(i.e. occasional work on Sunday outside the normal tour of duty is consideredovertime work).HAZARDOUS PAY DIFFERENTIAL: An 8 percent differential is applicable to employeesemployed in a position that represents a high degree of hazard when working with orin close proximity to ordinance, explosives, and incendiary materials. Thisincludes work such as screening, blending, dying, mixing, and pressing of sensitiveordance, explosives, and pyrotechnic compositions such as lead azide, black powderand photoflash powder. All dry-house activities involving propellants or explosives. Demilitarization, modification, renovation, demolition, and maintenance operationson sensitive ordnance, explosives and incendiary materials. All operationsinvolving regrading and cleaning of artillery ranges.A 4 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position thatrepresents a low degree of hazard when working with, or in close proximity toordance, (or employees possibly adjacent to) explosives and incendiary materialswhich involves potential injury such as laceration of hands, face, or arms of theemployee engaged in the operation, irritation of the skin, minor burns and thelike; minimal damage to immediate or adjacent work area or equipment being used.All operations involving, unloading, storage, and hauling of ordance, explosive, andincendiary ordnance material other than small arms ammunition. These differentialsare only applicable to work that has been specifically designated by the agency forordance, explosives, and incendiary material differential pay.** UNIFORM ALLOWANCE **If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this contract(either by the terms of the Government contract, by the employer, by the state orlocal law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (bylaundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by anemployee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the wagedetermination. The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance with thefollowing standards as compliance:The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with anadequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the actualcost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and maintenance is madethe responsibility of the employee, all contractors and subcontractors subject tothis wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective bargainingagreement providing for a different amount, or the furnishing of contraryaffirmative proof as to the actual cost), reimburse all employees for such cleaningand maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week (or $.67 cents per day). However, inthose instances where the uniforms furnished are made of "wash and wear"materials, may be routinely washed and dried with other personal garments, and donot require any special treatment such as dry cleaning, daily washing, or commerciallaundering in order to meet the cleanliness or appearance standards set by the termsof the Government contract, by the contractor, by law, or by the nature of the work,there is no requirement that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs.The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the"Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations", Fifth Edition, April 2006,unless otherwise indicated. Copies of the Directory are available on the Internet. Alinks to the Directory may be found on the WHD home page at or through the Wage Determinations On-Line (WDOL) Web site at FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND WAGE RATE {Standard Form1444 (SF 1444)}Conformance Process:The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee which isnot listed herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e., the work tobe performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wagedetermination), be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonablerelationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlistedclassifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination. Suchconformed classes of employees shall be paid the monetary wages and furnished thefringe benefits as are determined. Such conforming process shall be initiated bythe contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es)of employees. The conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits shallbe retroactive to the commencement date of the contract. {See Section 4.6 (C)(vi)}When multiple wage determinations are included in a contract, a separate SF 1444should be prepared for each wage determination to which a class(es) is to beconformed.The process for preparing a conformance request is as follows:1) When preparing the bid, the contractor identifies the need for a conformedoccupation(s) and computes a proposed rate(s).2) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report listing in orderproposed classification title(s), a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for eachproposed classification(s), job description(s), and rationale for proposed wagerate(s), including information regarding the agreement or disagreement of theauthorized representative of the employees involved, or where there is no authorizedrepresentative, the employees themselves. This report should be submitted to thecontracting officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted class(es) of employeesperforms any contract work.3) The contracting officer reviews the proposed action and promptly submits a reportof the action, together with the agency's recommendations and pertinentinformation including the position of the contractor and the employees, to the Wageand Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor,for review. (See section 4.6(b)(2) of Regulations 29 CFR Part 4).4) Within 30 days of receipt, the Wage and Hour Division approves, modifies, ordisapproves the action via transmittal to the agency contracting officer, ornotifies the contracting officer that additional time will be required to processthe request.5) The contracting officer transmits the Wage and Hour decision to the contractor.6) The contractor informs the affected rmation required by the Regulations must be submitted on SF 1444 or bond paper.When preparing a conformance request, the "Service Contract Act Directory ofOccupations" (the Directory) should be used to compare job definitions to insurethat duties requested are not performed by a classification already listed in thewage determination. Remember, it is not the job title, but the required tasks thatdetermine whether a class is included in an established wage determination.Conformances may not be used to artificially split, combine, or subdivideclassifications listed in the wage determination.Attachment D.4WD 05-2517 (Rev.-16) was first posted on on 06/19/2012************************************************************************************REGISTER OF WAGE DETERMINATIONS UNDER | U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR THE SERVICE CONTRACT ACT | EMPLOYMENT STANDARDS ADMINISTRATIONBy direction of the Secretary of Labor | WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION | WASHINGTON D.C. 20210 | | | | Wage Determination No.: 2005-2517Diane C.

Length of serviceincludes the whole span of continuous service with the present contractor orsuccessor, wherever employed, and with the predecessor contractors in theperformance of similar work at the same Federal facility. (Reg. 29 CFR 4.173)HOLIDAYS: A minimum of ten paid holidays per year, New Year's Day, Martin LutherKing Jr's Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, LaborDay, Columbus Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. (Acontractor may substitute for any of the named holidays another day off with pay inaccordance with a plan communicated to the employees involved.) (See 29 CFR 4174)THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMBERED FOOTNOTES IN PARENTHESES RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING:1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: Under the SCA at section 8(b), this wage determination doesnot apply to any employee who individually qualifies as a bona fide executive,administrative, or professional employee as defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 541. Becausemost Computer System Analysts and Computer Programmers who are compensated at a ratenot less than $27.63 (or on a salary or fee basis at a rate not less than $455 perweek) an hour would likely qualify as exempt computer professionals, (29 C.F.R. 541.400) wage rates may not be listed on this wage determination for all occupationswithin those job families. In addition, because this wage determination may notlist a wage rate for some or all occupations within those job families if the surveydata indicates that the prevailing wage rate for the occupation equals or exceeds$27.63 per hour conformances may be necessary for certain nonexempt employees. Forexample, if an individual employee is nonexempt but nevertheless performs dutieswithin the scope of one of the Computer Systems Analyst or Computer Programmeroccupations for which this wage determination does not specify an SCA wage rate,then the wage rate for that employee must be conformed in accordance with theconformance procedures described in the conformance note included on this wagedetermination.Additionally, because job titles vary widely and change quickly in the computerindustry, job titles are not determinative of the application of the computerprofessional exemption. Therefore, the exemption applies only to computer employeeswho satisfy the compensation requirements and whose primary duty consists of: (1) The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures, includingconsulting with users, to determine hardware, software or system functionalspecifications; (2) The design, development, documentation, analysis, creation, testing ormodification of computer systems or programs, including prototypes, based on andrelated to user or system design specifications; (3) The design, documentation, testing, creation or modification of computerprograms related to machine operating systems; or (4) A combination of the aforementioned duties, the performance of whichrequires the same level of skills. (29 C.F.R. 541.400).2) AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS AND WEATHER OBSERVERS - NIGHT PAY & SUNDAY PAY: If youwork at night as part of a regular tour of duty, you will earn a night differentialand receive an additional 10% of basic pay for any hours worked between 6pm and 6am. If you are a full-time employed (40 hours a week) and Sunday is part of yourregularly scheduled workweek, you are paid at your rate of basic pay plus a Sundaypremium of 25% of your basic rate for each hour of Sunday work which is not overtime(i.e. occasional work on Sunday outside the normal tour of duty is consideredovertime work).HAZARDOUS PAY DIFFERENTIAL: An 8 percent differential is applicable to employeesemployed in a position that represents a high degree of hazard when working with orin close proximity to ordinance, explosives, and incendiary materials. Thisincludes work such as screening, blending, dying, mixing, and pressing of sensitiveordance, explosives, and pyrotechnic compositions such as lead azide, black powderand photoflash powder. All dry-house activities involving propellants or explosives. Demilitarization, modification, renovation, demolition, and maintenance operationson sensitive ordnance, explosives and incendiary materials. All operationsinvolving regrading and cleaning of artillery ranges.A 4 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position thatrepresents a low degree of hazard when working with, or in close proximity toordance, (or employees possibly adjacent to) explosives and incendiary materialswhich involves potential injury such as laceration of hands, face, or arms of theemployee engaged in the operation, irritation of the skin, minor burns and thelike; minimal damage to immediate or adjacent work area or equipment being used.All operations involving, unloading, storage, and hauling of ordance, explosive, andincendiary ordnance material other than small arms ammunition. These differentialsare only applicable to work that has been specifically designated by the agency forordance, explosives, and incendiary material differential pay.** UNIFORM ALLOWANCE **If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this contract(either by the terms of the Government contract, by the employer, by the state orlocal law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (bylaundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by anemployee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the wagedetermination. The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance with thefollowing standards as compliance:The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with anadequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the actualcost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and maintenance is madethe responsibility of the employee, all contractors and subcontractors subject tothis wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective bargainingagreement providing for a different amount, or the furnishing of contraryaffirmative proof as to the actual cost), reimburse all employees for such cleaningand maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week (or $.67 cents per day). However, inthose instances where the uniforms furnished are made of "wash and wear"materials, may be routinely washed and dried with other personal garments, and donot require any special treatment such as dry cleaning, daily washing, or commerciallaundering in order to meet the cleanliness or appearance standards set by the termsof the Government contract, by the contractor, by law, or by the nature of the work,there is no requirement that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs.The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the"Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations", Fifth Edition, April 2006,unless otherwise indicated. Copies of the Directory are available on the Internet. Alinks to the Directory may be found on the WHD home page at or through the Wage Determinations On-Line (WDOL) Web site at FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND WAGE RATE {Standard Form1444 (SF 1444)}Conformance Process:The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee which isnot listed herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e., the work tobe performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wagedetermination), be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonablerelationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlistedclassifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination. Suchconformed classes of employees shall be paid the monetary wages and furnished thefringe benefits as are determined. Such conforming process shall be initiated bythe contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es)of employees. The conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits shallbe retroactive to the commencement date of the contract. {See Section 4.6 (C)(vi)}When multiple wage determinations are included in a contract, a separate SF 1444should be prepared for each wage determination to which a class(es) is to beconformed.The process for preparing a conformance request is as follows:1) When preparing the bid, the contractor identifies the need for a conformedoccupation(s) and computes a proposed rate(s).2) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report listing in orderproposed classification title(s), a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for eachproposed classification(s), job description(s), and rationale for proposed wagerate(s), including information regarding the agreement or disagreement of theauthorized representative of the employees involved, or where there is no authorizedrepresentative, the employees themselves. This report should be submitted to thecontracting officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted class(es) of employeesperforms any contract work.3) The contracting officer reviews the proposed action and promptly submits a reportof the action, together with the agency's recommendations and pertinentinformation including the position of the contractor and the employees, to the Wageand Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor,for review. (See section 4.6(b)(2) of Regulations 29 CFR Part 4).4) Within 30 days of receipt, the Wage and Hour Division approves, modifies, ordisapproves the action via transmittal to the agency contracting officer, ornotifies the contracting officer that additional time will be required to processthe request.5) The contracting officer transmits the Wage and Hour decision to the contractor.6) The contractor informs the affected rmation required by the Regulations must be submitted on SF 1444 or bond paper.When preparing a conformance request, the "Service Contract Act Directory ofOccupations" (the Directory) should be used to compare job definitions to insurethat duties requested are not performed by a classification already listed in thewage determination. Remember, it is not the job title, but the required tasks thatdetermine whether a class is included in an established wage determination.Conformances may not be used to artificially split, combine, or subdivideclassifications listed in the wage determination.ATTACHMENT D.5 – WD 05-2513 (Rev.-12) was first posted on on 06/19/2012************************************************************************************REGISTER OF WAGE DETERMINATIONS UNDER | U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR THE SERVICE CONTRACT ACT | EMPLOYMENT STANDARDS ADMINISTRATIONBy direction of the Secretary of Labor | WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION | WASHINGTON D.C. 20210 | | | | Wage Determination No.: 2005-2513Diane C.

Length of serviceincludes the whole span of continuous service with the present contractor orsuccessor, wherever employed, and with the predecessor contractors in theperformance of similar work at the same Federal facility. (Reg. 29 CFR 4.173)HOLIDAYS: A minimum of ten paid holidays per year, New Year's Day, Martin LutherKing Jr's Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, LaborDay, Columbus Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. (Acontractor may substitute for any of the named holidays another day off with pay inaccordance with a plan communicated to the employees involved.) (See 29 CFR 4174)THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMBERED FOOTNOTES IN PARENTHESES RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING:1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: Under the SCA at section 8(b), this wage determination doesnot apply to any employee who individually qualifies as a bona fide executive,administrative, or professional employee as defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 541. Becausemost Computer System Analysts and Computer Programmers who are compensated at a ratenot less than $27.63 (or on a salary or fee basis at a rate not less than $455 perweek) an hour would likely qualify as exempt computer professionals, (29 C.F.R. 541.400) wage rates may not be listed on this wage determination for all occupationswithin those job families. In addition, because this wage determination may notlist a wage rate for some or all occupations within those job families if the surveydata indicates that the prevailing wage rate for the occupation equals or exceeds$27.63 per hour conformances may be necessary for certain nonexempt employees. Forexample, if an individual employee is nonexempt but nevertheless performs dutieswithin the scope of one of the Computer Systems Analyst or Computer Programmeroccupations for which this wage determination does not specify an SCA wage rate,then the wage rate for that employee must be conformed in accordance with theconformance procedures described in the conformance note included on this wagedetermination.Additionally, because job titles vary widely and change quickly in the computerindustry, job titles are not determinative of the application of the computerprofessional exemption. Therefore, the exemption applies only to computer employeeswho satisfy the compensation requirements and whose primary duty consists of: (1) The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures, includingconsulting with users, to determine hardware, software or system functionalspecifications; (2) The design, development, documentation, analysis, creation, testing ormodification of computer systems or programs, including prototypes, based on andrelated to user or system design specifications; (3) The design, documentation, testing, creation or modification of computerprograms related to machine operating systems; or (4) A combination of the aforementioned duties, the performance of which requires the same level of skills. (29 C.F.R. 541.400).2) APPLICABLE TO AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS ONLY - NIGHT DIFFERENTIAL: An employee is entitled to pay for all work performed between the hours of 6:00 P.M. and 6:00 A.M. at the rate of basic pay plus a night pay differential amounting to 10 percent of the rate of basic pay.3) AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS AND WEATHER OBSERVERS - NIGHT PAY & SUNDAY PAY: If you work at night as part of a regular tour of duty, you will earn a night differential and receive an additional 10% of basic pay for any hours worked between 6pm and 6am. If you are a full-time employed (40 hours a week) and Sunday is part of your regularly scheduled workweek, you are paid at your rate of basic pay plus a Sunday premium of 25% of your basic rate for each hour of Sunday work which is not overtime (i.e. occasional work on Sunday outside the normal tour of duty is considered overtime work).HAZARDOUS PAY DIFFERENTIAL: An 8 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that represents a high degree of hazard when working with or in close proximity to ordinance, explosives, and incendiary materials. This includes work such as screening, blending, dying, mixing, and pressing of sensitive ordance, explosives, and pyrotechnic compositions such as lead azide, black powder and photoflash powder. All dry-house activities involving propellants or explosives. Demilitarization, modification, renovation, demolition, and maintenance operations on sensitive ordnance, explosives and incendiary materials. All operations involving regrading and cleaning of artillery ranges.A 4 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that represents a low degree of hazard when working with, or in close proximity to ordance, (or employees possibly adjacent to) explosives and incendiary materials which involves potential injury such as laceration of hands, face, or arms of the employee engaged in the operation, irritation of the skin, minor burns and the like; minimal damage to immediate or adjacent work area or equipment being used. All operations involving, unloading, storage, and hauling of ordance, explosive, and incendiary ordnance material other than small arms ammunition. These differentials are only applicable to work that has been specifically designated by the agency for ordance, explosives, and incendiary material differential pay.** UNIFORM ALLOWANCE **If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this contract(either by the terms of the Government contract, by the employer, by the state orlocal law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (bylaundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by anemployee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the wagedetermination. The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance with thefollowing standards as compliance:The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with anadequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the actualcost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and maintenance is madethe responsibility of the employee, all contractors and subcontractors subject tothis wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective bargainingagreement providing for a different amount, or the furnishing of contraryaffirmative proof as to the actual cost), reimburse all employees for such cleaningand maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week (or $.67 cents per day). However, inthose instances where the uniforms furnished are made of "wash and wear"materials, may be routinely washed and dried with other personal garments, and donot require any special treatment such as dry cleaning, daily washing, or commerciallaundering in order to meet the cleanliness or appearance standards set by the termsof the Government contract, by the contractor, by law, or by the nature of the work,there is no requirement that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs.The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the"Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations", Fifth Edition, April 2006,unless otherwise indicated. Copies of the Directory are available on the Internet. Alinks to the Directory may be found on the WHD home page at or through the Wage Determinations On-Line (WDOL) Web site at FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND WAGE RATE {Standard Form1444 (SF 1444)}Conformance Process:The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee which is not listed herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e., the work to be performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wage determination), be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonable relationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlisted classifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination. Such conformed classes of employees shall be paid the monetary wages and furnished the fringe benefits as are determined. Such conforming process shall be initiated by the contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es) of employees. The conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits shall be retroactive to the commencement date of the contract. {See Section 4.6 (C)(vi)} When multiple wage determinations are included in a contract, a separate SF 1444 should be prepared for each wage determination to which a class(es) is to be conformed.The process for preparing a conformance request is as follows:1) When preparing the bid, the contractor identifies the need for a conformed occupation(s) and computes a proposed rate(s).2) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report listing in order proposed classification title(s), a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for each proposed classification(s), job description(s), and rationale for proposed wage rate(s), including information regarding the agreement or disagreement of the authorized representative of the employees involved, or where there is no authorized representative, the employees themselves. This report should be submitted to the contracting officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted class(es) of employees performs any contract work.3) The contracting officer reviews the proposed action and promptly submits a report of the action, together with the agency's recommendations and pertinent information including the position of the contractor and the employees, to the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, for review. (See section 4.6(b)(2) of Regulations 29 CFR Part 4).4) Within 30 days of receipt, the Wage and Hour Division approves, modifies, or disapproves the action via transmittal to the agency contracting officer, or notifies the contracting officer that additional time will be required to process the request.5) The contracting officer transmits the Wage and Hour decision to the contractor.6) The contractor informs the affected rmation required by the Regulations must be submitted on SF 1444 or bond paper.When preparing a conformance request, the "Service Contract Act Directory ofOccupations" (the Directory) should be used to compare job definitions to insurethat duties requested are not performed by a classification already listed in thewage determination. Remember, it is not the job title, but the required tasks that determine whether a class is included in an established wage determination.

Length of service includesthe whole span of continuous service with the present contractor or successor,wherever employed, and with the predecessor contractors in the performance ofsimilar work at the same Federal facility. (Reg. 29 CFR 4.173)HOLIDAYS: A minimum of ten paid holidays per year, New Year's Day, Martin LutherKing Jr's Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, LaborDay, Columbus Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. (Acontractor may substitute for any of the named holidays another day off with pay inaccordance with a plan communicated to the employees involved.) (See 29 CFR 4174)THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMBERED FOOTNOTES IN PARENTHESES RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING:1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: Under the SCA at section 8(b), this wage determination doesnot apply to any employee who individually qualifies as a bona fide executive,administrative, or professional employee as defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 541. Becausemost Computer System Analysts and Computer Programmers who are compensated at a ratenot less than $27.63 (or on a salary or fee basis at a rate not less than $455 perweek) an hour would likely qualify as exempt computer professionals, (29 C.F.R. 541.400) wage rates may not be listed on this wage determination for all occupationswithin those job families. In addition, because this wage determination may notlist a wage rate for some or all occupations within those job families if the surveydata indicates that the prevailing wage rate for the occupation equals or exceeds$27.63 per hour conformances may be necessary for certain nonexempt employees. Forexample, if an individual employee is nonexempt but nevertheless performs dutieswithin the scope of one of the Computer Systems Analyst or Computer Programmeroccupations for which this wage determination does not specify an SCA wage rate,then the wage rate for that employee must be conformed in accordance with theconformance procedures described in the conformance note included on this wagedetermination.Additionally, because job titles vary widely and change quickly in the computerindustry, job titles are not determinative of the application of the computerprofessional exemption. Therefore, the exemption applies only to computer employeeswho satisfy the compensation requirements and whose primary duty consists of: (1) The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures, includingconsulting with users, to determine hardware, software or system functionalspecifications; (2) The design, development, documentation, analysis, creation, testing ormodification of computer systems or programs, including prototypes, based on andrelated to user or system design specifications; (3) The design, documentation, testing, creation or modification of computerprograms related to machine operating systems; or (4) A combination of the aforementioned duties, the performance of whichrequires the same level of skills. (29 C.F.R. 541.400).2) AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS AND WEATHER OBSERVERS - NIGHT PAY & SUNDAY PAY: If youwork at night as part of a regular tour of duty, you will earn a night differentialand receive an additional 10% of basic pay for any hours worked between 6pm and 6am. If you are a full-time employed (40 hours a week) and Sunday is part of yourregularly scheduled workweek, you are paid at your rate of basic pay plus a Sundaypremium of 25% of your basic rate for each hour of Sunday work which is not overtime(i.e. occasional work on Sunday outside the normal tour of duty is consideredovertime work).HAZARDOUS PAY DIFFERENTIAL: An 8 percent differential is applicable to employeesemployed in a position that represents a high degree of hazard when working with orin close proximity to ordinance, explosives, and incendiary materials. Thisincludes work such as screening, blending, dying, mixing, and pressing of sensitiveordance, explosives, and pyrotechnic compositions such as lead azide, black powderand photoflash powder. All dry-house activities involving propellants or explosives. Demilitarization, modification, renovation, demolition, and maintenance operationson sensitive ordnance, explosives and incendiary materials. All operationsinvolving regrading and cleaning of artillery ranges.A 4 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position thatrepresents a low degree of hazard when working with, or in close proximity toordance, (or employees possibly adjacent to) explosives and incendiary materialswhich involves potential injury such as laceration of hands, face, or arms of theemployee engaged in the operation, irritation of the skin, minor burns and thelike; minimal damage to immediate or adjacent work area or equipment being used.All operations involving, unloading, storage, and hauling of ordance, explosive, andincendiary ordnance material other than small arms ammunition. These differentialsare only applicable to work that has been specifically designated by the agency forordance, explosives, and incendiary material differential pay.** UNIFORM ALLOWANCE **If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this contract(either by the terms of the Government contract, by the employer, by the state orlocal law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (bylaundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by anemployee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the wagedetermination. The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance with thefollowing standards as compliance:The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with anadequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the actualcost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and maintenance is madethe responsibility of the employee, all contractors and subcontractors subject tothis wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective bargainingagreement providing for a different amount, or the furnishing of contraryaffirmative proof as to the actual cost), reimburse all employees for such cleaningand maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week (or $.67 cents per day). However, inthose instances where the uniforms furnished are made of "wash and wear"materials, may be routinely washed and dried with other personal garments, and donot require any special treatment such as dry cleaning, daily washing, or commerciallaundering in order to meet the cleanliness or appearance standards set by the termsof the Government contract, by the contractor, by law, or by the nature of the work,there is no requirement that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs.The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the"Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations", Fifth Edition, April 2006,unless otherwise indicated. Copies of the Directory are available on the Internet. Alinks to the Directory may be found on the WHD home page at or through the Wage Determinations On-Line (WDOL) Web site at FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND WAGE RATE {Standard Form1444 (SF 1444)}Conformance Process:The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee which isnot listed herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e., the work tobe performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wagedetermination), be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonablerelationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlistedclassifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination. Suchconformed classes of employees shall be paid the monetary wages and furnished thefringe benefits as are determined. Such conforming process shall be initiated bythe contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es)of employees. The conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits shallbe retroactive to the commencement date of the contract. {See Section 4.6 (C)(vi)}When multiple wage determinations are included in a contract, a separate SF 1444should be prepared for each wage determination to which a class(es) is to beconformed.The process for preparing a conformance request is as follows:1) When preparing the bid, the contractor identifies the need for a conformedoccupation(s) and computes a proposed rate(s).2) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report listing in orderproposed classification title(s), a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for eachproposed classification(s), job description(s), and rationale for proposed wagerate(s), including information regarding the agreement or disagreement of theauthorized representative of the employees involved, or where there is no authorizedrepresentative, the employees themselves. This report should be submitted to thecontracting officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted class(es) of employeesperforms any contract work.3) The contracting officer reviews the proposed action and promptly submits a reportof the action, together with the agency's recommendations and pertinentinformation including the position of the contractor and the employees, to the Wageand Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor,for review. (See section 4.6(b)(2) of Regulations 29 CFR Part 4).4) Within 30 days of receipt, the Wage and Hour Division approves, modifies, ordisapproves the action via transmittal to the agency contracting officer, ornotifies the contracting officer that additional time will be required to processthe request.5) The contracting officer transmits the Wage and Hour decision to the contractor.6) The contractor informs the affected rmation required by the Regulations must be submitted on SF 1444 or bond paper.When preparing a conformance request, the "Service Contract Act Directory ofOccupations" (the Directory) should be used to compare job definitions to insurethat duties requested are not performed by a classification already listed in thewage determination. Remember, it is not the job title, but the required tasks thatdetermine whether a class is included in an established wage determination.Conformances may not be used to artificially split, combine, or subdivideclassifications listed in the wage determination.Attachment D.7WD 05-2433 (Rev.-12) was first posted on on 06/19/2012************************************************************************************REGISTER OF WAGE DETERMINATIONS UNDER | U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR THE SERVICE CONTRACT ACT | EMPLOYMENT STANDARDS ADMINISTRATIONBy direction of the Secretary of Labor | WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION | WASHINGTON D.C. 20210 | | | | Wage Determination No.: 2005-2433Diane C.

(See 29 CFR 4174)THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMBERED FOOTNOTES IN PARENTHESES RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING:1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: Under the SCA at section 8(b), this wage determination doesnot apply to any employee who individually qualifies as a bona fide executive,administrative, or professional employee as defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 541. Becausemost Computer System Analysts and Computer Programmers who are compensated at a ratenot less than $27.63 (or on a salary or fee basis at a rate not less than $455 perweek) an hour would likely qualify as exempt computer professionals, (29 C.F.R. 541.400) wage rates may not be listed on this wage determination for all occupationswithin those job families. In addition, because this wage determination may notlist a wage rate for some or all occupations within those job families if the surveydata indicates that the prevailing wage rate for the occupation equals or exceeds$27.63 per hour conformances may be necessary for certain nonexempt employees. Forexample, if an individual employee is nonexempt but nevertheless performs dutieswithin the scope of one of the Computer Systems Analyst or Computer Programmeroccupations for which this wage determination does not specify an SCA wage rate,then the wage rate for that employee must be conformed in accordance with theconformance procedures described in the conformance note included on this wagedetermination.Additionally, because job titles vary widely and change quickly in the computerindustry, job titles are not determinative of the application of the computerprofessional exemption. Therefore, the exemption applies only to computer employeeswho satisfy the compensation requirements and whose primary duty consists of: (1) The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures, includingconsulting with users, to determine hardware, software or system functionalspecifications; (2) The design, development, documentation, analysis, creation, testing ormodification of computer systems or programs, including prototypes, based on andrelated to user or system design specifications; (3) The design, documentation, testing, creation or modification of computerprograms related to machine operating systems; or (4) A combination of the aforementioned duties, the performance of whichrequires the same level of skills. (29 C.F.R. 541.400).2) AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS AND WEATHER OBSERVERS - NIGHT PAY & SUNDAY PAY: If youwork at night as part of a regular tour of duty, you will earn a night differentialand receive an additional 10% of basic pay for any hours worked between 6pm and 6am.

These differentialsare only applicable to work that has been specifically designated by the agency forordance, explosives, and incendiary material differential pay.** UNIFORM ALLOWANCE **If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this contract(either by the terms of the Government contract, by the employer, by the state orlocal law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (bylaundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by anemployee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the wagedetermination. The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance with thefollowing standards as compliance:The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with anadequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the actualcost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and maintenance is madethe responsibility of the employee, all contractors and subcontractors subject tothis wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective bargainingagreement providing for a different amount, or the furnishing of contraryaffirmative proof as to the actual cost), reimburse all employees for such cleaningand maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week (or $.67 cents per day). However, inthose instances where the uniforms furnished are made of "wash and wear"materials, may be routinely washed and dried with other personal garments, and donot require any special treatment such as dry cleaning, daily washing, or commerciallaundering in order to meet the cleanliness or appearance standards set by the termsof the Government contract, by the contractor, by law, or by the nature of the work,there is no requirement that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs.REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND WAGE RATE {Standard Form1444 (SF 1444)}Conformance Process:The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee which isnot listed herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e., the work tobe performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wagedetermination), be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonablerelationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlistedclassifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination. Suchconformed classes of employees shall be paid the monetary wages and furnished thefringe benefits as are determined. Such conforming process shall be initiated bythe contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es)of employees. The conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits shallbe retroactive to the commencement date of the contract. {See Section 4.6 (C)(vi)}When multiple wage determinations are included in a contract, a separate SF 1444should be prepared for each wage determination to which a class(es) is to beconformed.The process for preparing a conformance request is as follows:1) When preparing the bid, the contractor identifies the need for a conformedoccupation(s) and computes a proposed rate(s).2) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report listing in orderproposed classification title(s), a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for eachproposed classification(s), job description(s), and rationale for proposed wagerate(s), including information regarding the agreement or disagreement of theauthorized representative of the employees involved, or where there is no authorizedrepresentative, the employees themselves. This report should be submitted to thecontracting officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted class(es) of employeesperforms any contract work.3) The contracting officer reviews the proposed action and promptly submits a reportof the action, together with the agency's recommendations and pertinentinformation including the position of the contractor and the employees, to the Wageand Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor,for review. (See section 4.6(b)(2) of Regulations 29 CFR Part 4).4) Within 30 days of receipt, the Wage and Hour Division approves, modifies, ordisapproves the action via transmittal to the agency contracting officer, ornotifies the contracting officer that additional time will be required to processthe request.5) The contracting officer transmits the Wage and Hour decision to the contractor.6) The contractor informs the affected rmation required by the Regulations must be submitted on SF 1444 or bond paper.When preparing a conformance request, the "Service Contract Act Directory ofOccupations" (the Directory) should be used to compare job definitions to insurethat duties requested are not performed by a classification already listed in thewage determination. Remember, it is not the job title, but the required tasks thatdetermine whether a class is included in an established wage determination.Conformances may not be used to artificially split, combine, or subdivideclassifications listed in the wage determination.attachment d.8BUSINESS ASSOCIATE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS, VETERANS HEALTH ADMINISTRATION AND _______________________ Whereas, (Business Associate) provides Home Health Services to the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration (Covered Entity), and_____________________ Whereas, in order for Business Associate to provide services to the Covered Entity, Covered Entity discloses to Business Associate Protected Health Information (PHI) and Electronic Protected Health Information (EPHI) that is subject to protection under regulations issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, as mandated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), 45 CFR Parts 160 and 164, Subparts A and E, the Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information ("Privacy Rule"), and 45 CFR Parts 160 and 164, Subparts A and C, the Security Standard ("Security Rule"); and Whereas, Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration is a " Covered Entity" as that term is defined in the HIPAA implementing regulations, 45 CFR 160.103, and Whereas, , as a recipient of PHI from Covered Entity in order to provide services to Covered Entity, is a "Business Associate" of Covered Entity as the term "Business Associate" is defined in the HIPAA implementing regulations, 45 CFR 160.103; and Whereas, pursuant to the Privacy and Security Rules, all Business Associates of Covered Entities must agree in writing to certain mandatory provisions regarding the Use and Disclosure of PHI and EPHI; and Whereas, the purpose of this Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is to comply with the requirements of the Privacy and Security Rules, including, but not limited to, the Business Associate Agreement requirements at 45 CFR 164.308(b), 164.314(a), 164.502(e), and 164.504(e), and as may be amended.
