DESCRIPTION This work shall consist of architecturally treating and staining the vertical surfaces of integrally colored concrete retaining walls, structures, pilasters, piers or other similar vertical surfaces with designated patterns and textures. All work shall be in accordance with these specifications and in reasonably close conformity to the lines, grades, patterns and textures shown on the plans. MATERIALS Form Liner and Rustication Strips. Commercially produced Form Liner and Rustication Strip shall meet the requirements of Section 555-3. The form liners and Rustication Strips shall:
1. Produce the patterns, textures and joints indicated on the plans. 2. Be composed of a material(s) that will not bond to concrete. 3. Be attachable to standard plywood, steel, or concrete forms, such that no distortions, or stray
markings occur within the concrete surfaces. 4. Be fabricated with care so that all strips are equal in cross-section so that the ends of the strips
can be matched during installation. Concrete. Concrete shall meet the requirements of Section 501 and 555 of the Standard Specifications except for the following. The class of concrete will be as specified elsewhere in the Contract Documents. Color Admixture. All concrete which is visible above the finished grade shall be integrally colored using pigment admixture, Federal color as noted on drawings and as approved by the Regional Landscape Architect. The color admixture for integrally colored concrete shall be certified by the manufacturer as meeting the requirements of ASTM 979, Standard Specifications for Pigments for Integrally Colored Concrete and be packaged such that one dose is the proper dosage for one cubic meter of concrete. Releasing Agents. If the form liner manufacturer requires the use of an agent to facilitate the release of the form liner panel from the concrete, or when its use is specified on the plans, such agent shall appear on the Departments Approved List – Form Coatings for Structural Concrete, be non-staining and evenly spread over the entire liner surface. Formwork shall also be treated as needed. Concrete Penetrating Stain. To unify minor variations in color, a concrete penetrating stain shall be applied in the field on all surfaces of the integrally colored concrete. The color of the concrete penetrating stain shall match the integrally colored concrete. The penetrating stain shall be a single component water-based thermoplastic acrylic emulsion which carries its color and water repellent protection into the concrete. The stain shall be delivered in original, sealed plastic pails clearly labeled with the manufacturer’s name and batch number of the material. The penetrating stain shall conform to the following performance requirements: PHYSICAL PROPERTIES CONDITION RESULTS TEST METHOD Dry-through time 25 minutes maximum ASTM D 1640

The penetrating concrete stain shall comply with New York State Laws regulating the use of volatile organic compounds and solvents. Caulking Compounds. When a caulking compound is required to seal any necessary concrete joints in the surface, such caulking compounds shall be color matched to the adjacent concrete and meet the material requirements of U.S. Federal Specification TT-S-00227E (COM-NBS) as a multi component, Class A, Type II sealant with ASTM C 920, Standard Specification for Elastomeric Joint Sealants as a Type M, Grade NS, Class 25 joint sealant for uses NT, A, M, and O. SUBMITTALS The Contractor shall submit the following for approval:
1. A separate 3ft x 3ft x 4 inch thick completely finished sample of integrally colored, stained concrete with form liner/rustication joint treatment shall be cast on-site using the methods, materials and finishes stated in this specification and on the plans for the approval of the Engineer and the Regional Landscape Architect. When approved, this sample shall be used as the standard for all Architecturally Treated Stained Concrete work on the project.
2. Form Liner and Rustication Strip samples with manufacturer’s specifications shall be submitted to the Regional Landscape Architect for approval.
3. Shop drawings of layouts for vertical stained concrete surfaces on retaining walls, abutment walls, parapets, piers and pier caps, including all dimensions and radii.
CONSTRUCTION DETAILS All provisions of Section 555-3 shall apply with the following modifications: To integrally color the concrete, use a color admixture dosage rate recommended by the manufacturer to achieve the Federal color as noted on drawings. This rate is to remain constant for all batches of concrete produced. Introduce color admixtures into the mixer drum in a manner recommended by the manufacturer. The quantity of concrete being delivered shall be no less than one-third the capacity of the mixer drum. Batch the concrete in full cubic meter increments. Once a portion of the batch has been placed, no additional mixing water shall be added to the remaining batch.
Special care shall be taken after installation to ensure that all form liner surfaces are thoroughly clean of all stray material of any nature. No concrete shall be placed prior to the Engineer’s inspection and approval of form liner surfaces. Approximately 5/64 in of the form liner panel shall overlap on either side of the formwork panel so that when the formwork sections are forced together, the form liners compress at the edges to form a tight joint. Joints between panels shall be sealed, taped or fused to form a watertight seam, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Unless specified on the plans, texturing is not required on surfaces which will be below finished grade. Plastic snap tie cones are to be of the non-leaking type. Metal form ties are not to be placed closer than 1.5 inch to the interior surface. Construction joints shall extend to the full depth of the concrete at the locations shown on the plans. When construction joints are needed but are not shown on the plans, the Contractor and the Engineer shall agree on the proper locations of such joints so as not to detract from the appearance of the imprinted pattern and to minimize the possibilities of cracking. Unless otherwise directed by the Engineer, all horizontal and vertical construction joints and contraction joints shall be rusticated with the use of chamfer strips of the size indicated on the plans installed on the formwork. The rustication strips shall be carefully installed true to line and grade. The rustication strips shall be so installed as to leave a neat regular groove in the concrete at all construction joints, along the vertical and horizontal showing edges of contraction joints and at all exposed corners and edges of the concrete. When used to form the showing edge of construction joints or at the top edges of pours, the concrete shall be placed even with the top of the strip to provide a formed groove with the same dimensions as that of the strip. To avoid inclusion of dust and debris beneath chamfer strips located at construction joints, the strips at the bottom of the form shall not be positioned until the joint surface has been washed or blown clean of all debris and accepted by the Engineer. After formwork removal the Engineer will inspect architecturally patterned concrete surfaces. All such surfaces which do not exhibit the required architectural pattern shall be repaired in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer at no cost to the State. The repair shall match the concrete surface. Concrete repair material, if used, shall meet the requirements of Subsection 701-04, Concrete Repair Material of the Standard Specifications. Under Subsection 555-3.08, clear (fugitive dye) membrane curing compound shall not be used. Surfaces to receive the penetrating stain shall be structurally sound, fully cured, clean, dry and free from dust, curing agents, oil, grease, efflorescence and any other contaminants that could prevent proper adhesion. After the concrete has cured 28 days, power wash at a minimum of 2,900 lb/sq inch the surface of the area to receive stain. Sandblasting will not be permitted. Prior to use, the stain shall be thoroughly mixed using the appropriate mechanical means and shall be remixed during spraying operations as required to maintain uniformity. Penetrating stain shall be applied in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s written instructions and precautions. At the time of stain application, both the concrete and air temperatures must be between 45E F and 90E F. Stain shall not be applied unless weather conditions will permit complete drying of material prior to rain, fog, dew or temperatures beyond the prescribed limits.
The penetrating concrete stain shall be spray applied using conventional or airless spray. The stain shall be applied in two thin coats providing a uniform appearance. The first coat must be applied to become tack free before the second coat is applied. The final coat shall be consistent with the quality and appearance of the approved sample area. The rate of applications shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Area of coverage may vary depending on absorption rates of the various surface materials and textures. Stain may be brushed or roller applied only at locations where overspray would affect adjacent materials and where not practical for spray application. Adequate protection shall be provided to protect adjacent persons, vehicles and property from overspray during staining operations. Prior to any staining operations, the Contractor shall be required to complete a test staining program for color acceptance and surface area coverage. This work shall be performed on a portion of the erected structure, location of which to be determined by the Engineer. The Contractor shall apply stain to one complete section of the structure, which, when approved, shall serve as a standard of acceptance for all further work. The completed stain surfaces shall be consistent with the quality and appearance of the approved sample area. If unevenness in color, lines or the work termination, etc. exist, the Engineer may have all such surfaces resprayed at the Contractor’s’s expense. Respraying, if required, shall be carried to a natural break-off point. METHOD OF MEASUREMENT Architectural Treatment Vertical Stained Concrete Surfaces will be measured by the number of square feet of concrete treated to the satisfaction of the Engineer. The quantity will be as computed from payment lines shown on the plans or as established by the Engineer in writing. Measurement will be taken as the vertical plane projection of the treated location. No measurement will be taken of actual concrete surfaces. BASIS OF PAYMENT The unit price bid per square foot shall include the cost of the form liners, rustication strips, color admixture, concrete penetrating stain, releasing agent, caulking compound, concrete repair material and all other materials, equipment and labor necessary to complete the work as specified, as well as the cost associated with all submittals and samples required.

CONTROLLER
1 of 5 Feb 2021
DESCRIPTION
This work shall consist of providing a Robotic Total Station and Survey Field Controller for the
Engineer’s field office.
MATERIALS
The system shall include the following components:
A. Robotic Total Station
The Contractor shall provide the Engineer with one self-contained Robotic Total Station with or
without on-board data collection which meets the following minimum requirements, which is
fully compatible with the Survey Field Controller and Miscellaneous Accessories as noted.
Angle Measurement: Horizontal and Vertical accuracy of 1”
DESCRIPTION This work shall consist of preparing, maintaining and submitting a Progress Schedule using the Critical Path Method on Oracle-Primavera P6 software which demonstrates complete fulfillment of all work shown in the contract documents. All work to prepare and maintain the CPM Progress Schedule shall be performed using the scheduling software application provided by the Department on network servers and accessed through the Internet with Department provided user accounts. The Contractor shall regularly revise and update the Progress Schedule, and use it in planning, coordinating and performing all work. Schedule activities shall accurately depict the entire scope of work to be performed to complete the project including, but not limited to, all work to be performed by the Contractor, subcontractors, fabricators, suppliers, consultants, the Department, and others, contributing to the project.
DEFINITIONS
Activity - A discrete, identifiable task or event that usually has an expected duration, has a definable Start Date and/or Finish Date, and can be used to plan, schedule, and monitor a project.
Activity, Controlling - The first incomplete activity on the critical path.
Activity, Critical - An activity on the critical path.
Actual Start date- At the activity level, the Actual Start date represents the point in time that meaningful work actually started on an activity.
Actual Finish date - At the activity level, the Actual Finish date represents the point in time that work actually ended on an activity (Note: in some applications areas, the activity is considered “finished” when work is “substantially complete.”)
Backward Pass – Calculation of the late start and late finish dates for each activity, based on the start or finish dates of successor activities as well as the duration of the activity itself. It is also known as the second pass.
Baseline Progress Schedule @ Award- The Progress Schedule submitted by the Contractor and accepted by the Department that shows the plan to complete the construction contract work. The Baseline Progress Schedule @ Award represents the Contractor’s plan at the time of Contract Award for completing the project.
Bid Date – The date the contract is let and there is an announcement by the Department of an apparent low bidder.
Completion Date, Contract - The date specified in Article 1 of the Contract for completion of the project or a revised date resulting from properly executed time extensions.
Anticipated Completion Date - The date forecasted by the Progress Schedule for the completion of the contract work.
Constraint - A schedule restriction imposed on the Start or Finish date(s) of an activity that modifies or overrides an activity’s relationships.
Contemporaneous Period Analysis Method – A technique for evaluating schedule delays or time savings. The analysis period for the purpose of these provisions shall be the period covered in each regular progress update to the schedule, as they coincide with contract payments to the Contractor.
Contractor’s First Day of Work - The day of the Contractor’s first day of physical work within the highway Right-of-Way.
Contractor’s Last Day of Work - The Contractor’s last day of physical work in the field, and the Contractor has demobilized (no longer has any presence within the highway right-of-way). Contractor Work Day - A calendar day scheduled for active prosecution of the work.
Critical Path – In the Progress Schedule the critical activities shall be those activities being on the longest path. In a project network diagram, it is the series of activities which determines the earliest completion of the project.
Critical Delay - An event, action, or other factor that delays the critical path of the Progress Schedule and extends the time needed for completion of the construction project.
Critical Path Method (CPM) – A network analysis technique used to predict project duration by analyzing which sequence of activities (which path) has the least amount of scheduling flexibility (the least amount of float). A scheduling technique utilizing activities, durations, and interrelationships/dependencies (logic), such that all activities are interrelated with logic ties from the beginning of the project to the completion of the project. Early dates are calculated by means of a forward pass using a specified start date. Late dates are calculated by means of a backward pass starting from a specified completion date (usually the forward pass’s calculated project early finish date).
Data Date – The date entered in the Project Details, in the Dates tab, which is used as the starting point to calculate the schedule. Everything occurring earlier than the data date is "as-built" and everything on or after the data date is "planned." Deliverable – Any measurable, tangible, verifiable outcome, result, or item that must be produced to complete a project or part of a project. Often used more narrowly in reference to an external deliverable, which is a deliverable that is subject to approval by the Department.
Draft Baseline Progress Schedule – An optional schedule submission that reflects an outline of the schedule format and content proposed by the Contractor’s Project Scheduler to comply with the schedule provisions in the contract to solicit early comments by the Engineer, prior to the submittal of complete Baseline Progress Schedule @ Award.
Duration, Original - The original estimated number of working days (not including holidays or other non-working periods) in which the work task associated with the activity is expected to be performed. (The number of calendar days may be different based on the calendar assigned to the activity.) For certain activities such as concrete curing, or others approved by the Engineer, the calendar shall reflect no non-working days.
Duration, Remaining - The estimated time, expressed in working days (not including holidays or other non-working periods), needed to complete an activity that has started but has not finished.
Early Completion Schedule - A progress schedule will be considered an early completion schedule when the schedule submitted by the Contractor indicates a completion date that is earlier than the specified contract completion date, or the Finish date of any interim Milestone work activity is earlier than the date specified in the contract. This includes, but is not limited to, B-Clock activities, activities subject to Incentive/Disincentive provisions, and/or specific Liquidated Damages provisions, and Lane Rental activities.
Enterprise Project Management Database (EPMD) – The Department’s database of construction project Progress Schedules.
Final Baseline Progress Schedule @ Award - The original plan against which the Contractor’s progress is measured. The Final Baseline Progress Schedule @ Award represents the original plan at the award of the contract, of what is expected to happen. Once the Final Baseline Progress Schedule @ Award is accepted by the Engineer it is saved and used as a basis to compare against Progress Schedules Updates.
Float Suppression - Utilization of zero free float constraints which allows an activity to start as late as possible by using all of its’ available free float. This technique allows activities to appear more critical than if the activity's total float was based on early dates. Assigning zero free float prevents true sharing of total float between Department and the Contractor. Utilization of overly generous activity durations and overly restrictive calendar non-working periods are also considered to cause float suppression.
Float, Free - The amount an activity can slip without delaying the immediate successor activities. Free Float is the property of an activity and not the network path.
Float, Total - The amount of time an activity (or chain of activities) can be delayed from its early start without delaying the contract completion date. Float is a mathematical calculation and can change as the project progresses and changes are made to the project plan. Total Float is calculated and reported for each activity in a network, however, Total Float is an attribute of a network path and not associated with any one specific activity along that path.
Fragnet – A subdivision of a project network diagram usually representing some portion of the project.
Global data – Data classified by Oracle-Primavera software as Global, including Project Codes, Global Activity Codes, Global Calendars, Resource Calendars, Global Filters, Resources, Global Reports, User Defined Fields and Unit of Measure.
Key Plans - Key Plans are graphic representations made by the Contractor’s Project Scheduler on paper copies of the appropriate contract plan sheets that reflect the Contractor’s planned breakdown of the project for scheduling purposes to efficiently communicate the Contractor’s activity coding scheme to State scheduling staff. The key plans prepared by the Contractor shall clearly define the boundaries of the work for each designated Area, the operations contained in various Stages of work, and work in the Work Zone Traffic Control (WZTC) Phases. The alphanumeric codes on the key plans shall match the code values for the activity code "Area", “Stage”, and “WZTC Phase” in the Progress Schedule.
Longest Path - The sequence of activities through the Progress Schedule network that establishes the Scheduled Completion Date
Look-Ahead Schedule – A three week time segment generated from the accepted Progress Schedule that shows the actual work progressed during the previous one week and forecasts the work planned for next two week period following the Data Date, and includes any major materials to be delivered and any lane closings or anticipated shifts in WZTC.
Milestone – An activity with zero duration that typically represents a significant event, usually the beginning and end of the project, milestones set forth in the contract proposal, construction stages, a major work package, or the contract interim time-related clauses.
Narrative Report - A descriptive report submitted with each Progress Schedule. The required contents of this report are set forth in this specification.
Open End - The condition that exists when an activity has either no predecessor or no successor, or when an activity’s only predecessor relationship is a finish-to-finish relationship or only successor relationship is a start-to-start relationship.
Predecessor - An activity that is defined by Schedule logic to precede another activity. A predecessor may control the Start Date or Finish Date of its successor.
Progress Schedule – A general Oracle-Primavera P6 Schedule as defined by this Specification.
Progress Schedule Update – Changes to the Progress Schedule that reflect the status of activities that have commenced or have been completed, including the following items: (a) Actual Start date and or Actual Finish date as appropriate; (b) Remaining Duration for activities commenced and not complete; and (c) Suspend or Resume dates for activities commenced and not complete.
Progress Schedule Revision – Revisions to the Progress Schedule ensure it accurately reflects the current means and methods of how the project is anticipated to progress, including modifications made to any of the following items: (a) changes in logic connections between activities; (b) changes in constraints; (c) changes to activity descriptions; (d) activity additions or deletions; (e) changes in activity code assignments; (f) changes in activity Productivity Rates; and (g) changes in calendar assignments.
Project Scheduler – The person that is responsible for developing and maintaining the Progress Schedule.
Projects Planned Start Date – The date entered in the Project Details, in the Dates tab, that reflects the Contractor’s planned start of work (based on contract requirements, and reasonable expectation for a Notice to Proceed) at the time the bid was submitted to the Department.
Projects Must Finish By Date – A date constraint entered in the Project Details, in the Dates tab, that reflects the Contract Completion Date set in the Contract Documents or through a formal contract extension of time.
Recovery Schedule – A schedule depicting the plan for recovery of significant time lost on the project. This separate CPM schedule submission shall provide the resolution and include appropriate changes in network logic, calendar adjustments, or resource assignments.
Relationships - The interdependence among activities. Relationships link an activity to its predecessors and successors. Relationships are defined as:
Finish to Start - The successor activity can start only when the current activity finishes. Finish to Finish – The finish of the successor activity depends on the finish of the current activity. Start to Start – The start of the successor activity depends on the start of the current activity. Start to Finish – The successor activity cannot finish until the current activity starts.
Resources, Contract Pay Item – Contract Pay Item resources shall be identified as a Material resource type. When required, Contract Pay Item resources are developed for each Pay Item in the contract, with the Resource ID matching the contract Pay Item and the Resource Name matching the description of the contract Pay Item.
Resources, Equipment – Equipment resources shall be identified as a Nonlabor resource type. A unique identifier shall be used in the Resource Name or Resource Notes to distinguish this piece of equipment from a similar make and model of equipment used on the project.
Resources, Labor – Labor resources shall be identified as a Labor resource type. Labor Resources shall identify resources that encompass direct labor at the Crew level.
Scheduling/Leveling Report – The report generated by the software application when a user “Schedules” the project. It documents the settings used when scheduling the project, along with project statistics, errors/warnings, scheduling/leveling results, exceptions, etc.

Substantial Completion - the day, determined by the Engineer, when all of the following have occurred: 1. The public (including vehicles and pedestrians) has full and unrestricted use and benefit of the
facilities both from the operational and safety standpoint, and2. All safety features are installed and fully functional, including, but not limited to, illumination,
signing, striping, barrier, guard rail, impact attenuators, delineators, and all other safetyappurtenances, and
3. Only minor incidental work, replacement of temporary substitute facilities or correction or repairremains for the Physical Completion of the Contract, and
4. The Contractor and Engineer mutually agree that all work remaining will be performed with shortterm lane closures to minimize delays, disruption, or impediment to the traveling public. Noovernight lanes closures will be allowed.
Successor - An activity that is defined by Schedule logic to succeed another activity. The Start Date or Finish Date of a successor may be controlled by its predecessor.
Time Impact Analysis - A technique to demonstrate the comparison of a time impact of a Progress Schedule revision prior to a change in the Contract work, against the current accepted Progress Schedule. It is also known as a “What-If” analysis.

CONSTRUCTION DETAILS A. General. In addition to the attributes of the Progress Schedule provisions as set forth in §108-01, theContractor shall prepare, furnish, and maintain a computer-generated Progress Schedule using the CriticalPath Method (CPM) utilizing Oracle-Primavera scheduling software on the Department’s network servers.The CPM Progress Schedule shall be prepared based on the principles defined by the latest issue of theConstruction Planning & Scheduling Manual published by the Associated General Contractors of America,except where superseded by the contract documents such as the CPM Special Notes and this specification.
The Contractor and the Department shall use the Progress Schedule to manage the work, including but not limited to the activities of subcontractors, fabricators, the Department, other involved State agencies and authorities, other entities such as utilities and municipalities, and all other relevant parties involved with the project.
No work other than installation of the Engineer’s Field Office, mobilization, procurement and administrative activities, installation of construction signs, installation of erosion and pollution protection, clearing and grubbing, field measurements, and survey and stakeout will be permitted to start until the Baseline Progress Schedule @ Award has been submitted to the Engineer, and the Engineer determines there are no deficiencies consistent with those identified in paragraph I.1 Immediate Rejection of Progress Schedule Submissions. .
The purpose of the Progress Schedule, and scheduling provisions in the contract, shall be to:
a) Ensure that the Contractor and the Department have a detailed plan and resources to complete theproject in accordance with contract time requirements;
b) Provide a means of monitoring the progress of work;c) Aid in communication and coordination of activities among all affected parties;d) Analyze the effect of changed conditions on any milestone dates or on the contract completion date;e) Analyze the effect of change orders for extra work or deductions, and unanticipated delays, on the
contract completion date;f) Establish a standard methodology for time adjustment analysis based on the principles of the Critical
Path Method of scheduling, to analyze delays and resolve construction disputes concerning time;g) Determine appropriate extensions or reductions of Contract Time.
In scheduling and executing the work, the Contractor shall: a) Sequence the work commensurate with the Contractor’s abilities, resources and the contract
documents. The scheduling of activities is the responsibility of the Contractor.b) Ensure that Progress Schedules prepared by the Project Scheduler for submission to the Department
are in compliance with the Contract. The intent should be that Schedule submissions andaccompanying Narratives are timely, complete, accurate, and in compliance with the Contract.
c) Communicate all Contract changes, and decisions or actions taken by the Contractor and allsubcontractors, fabricators, etc, that effect the Progress Schedule to the Project Scheduler in a timelymanner to allow appropriate development, maintenance, and update of the Progress Schedule.
d) Include all work contained in the Contract and all work directed in writing by the Engineer. Workactivities directed by the Engineer to be added to the Contract shall be included in the next MonthlyProgress Schedule submission.
e) Assure that Progress Schedule Updates reflect the actual dates that work activities started andcompleted in the field.
f) Break a schedule activity into multiple activities to reflect a discontinuity in the work if a workactivity is suspended in the field and restarted at a later date, and the break between when the workwas suspended to when it was resumed is significant compared to the original activity duration.
g) Ensure the Progress Schedule contains all work constraints and Milestones defined in the Contract.h) Schedule the work using such procedures and staging or phasing as required by the Contract. Work
designated as part of separate stages may be performed concurrently with other stages where allowedby the Contract or where approved by the Department.
Failure by the Contractor to include any element of work required by the Contract in the accepted progress schedule does not relieve the Contractor from its responsibility to perform such work.
Should the Contractor choose to show activities in the schedule that reflects their plan of work prior to the contract award, the Department does not incur any liability and such work being performed between the letting date and the contract award date shall be considered at risk work.
Errors or omissions on schedules shall not relieve the Contractor from finishing all work within the time limit specified for completion of the contract.
B. Project Scheduler. The Contractor shall designate an individual, entitled the Project Scheduler, whowill develop and maintain the construction progress schedule. The Project Scheduler shall be present at thePreconstruction Schedule Meeting, prepared to discuss, in detail, the proposed sequence of work and methodsof operation, and how that information will be communicated through the Progress Schedule. The ProjectScheduler shall attend all meetings, or receive meeting minutes that outline schedule related issues of thosemeetings, which may affect the CPM schedule, including but not limited to those between the Contractor andtheir Subcontractors and between the Contractor and the Department. The Project Scheduler shall beknowledgeable of the status of all aspects of the work throughout the length of the Contract, including but notlimited to: original contract work, additional work, new work, and changed conditions of work.
C. Scheduling Software. The State will provide Oracle-Primavera P6 software and computer system foruse by the Engineer to review the schedules submitted by the Contractor. The Department has installed
Oracle-Primavera P6 software on internet accessible servers for use by the Department’s construction inspection staff. Appropriate Department personnel, Consultants, and Contractors will also have access to these schedules on the Department’s Enterprise Project Management Database (EPMD). The Department will determine the location to store the project schedule files on the EPMD, and will provide the Contractor the naming convention for all progress schedule submissions. The Contractor shall develop, update, and revise the Progress Schedules using the Department provided Oracle-Primavera P6 software application and the Contractor shall store all Progress Schedule files on the Department’s EPMD.
C.1 User Access. The Contractor shall submit completed and signed Request for Access Forms to theEngineer for each proposed Primavera user to obtain the User ID’s and Passwords for access to software and data on the Department’s network servers. The form can be downloaded from the following web page https://www.dot.ny.gov/main/business-center/contractors/construction-division/primavera. These forms may submitted any time after the contract letting date and announcement by the Department that the Contractor is the apparent low bidder. The Department will process these requests and should generally provide the User ID’s and Passwords within two weeks of receipt by the Engineer. Upon approval by the Construction Supervisor and the Office of Construction, required User ID’s and passwords will be provided to the Contractor (for the Project Scheduler plus one other person) to obtain secure Internet access to the Oracle-Primavera software and project schedule data. If the contract is not awarded to this firm, the firms access to this project will be removed. Department provided User Id’s and Passwords are assigned to specific individuals and shall not be shared with any other users.
C.2 User Security Privileges. User security privileges within the Oracle-Primavera database will becreated and maintained by the Department. The Department will be the sole entity to modify the Enterprise Project Structure (EPS), the Organizational Breakdown Structure (OBS), Project Codes, Global Activity Codes, Global Calendars, User Defined Fields, Security Profiles, Admin Categories and Preferences. The Contractor’s users will generally have the security privileges to create and edit activities, project calendars, project resources, project activity codes, as well as schedule and summarize the project.
Project schedules are developed from the Contractor’s knowledge of the project, and the means and methods represented in those schedules are based on the Contractor’s understanding of the contract documents, and the Contractor’s past experience, which are unique to the Contractor. Schedule activity data and logic are therefore the intellectual property of the Contractor and will not be made available to other Contractors. All other schedule data, and all Enterprise data residing on the network servers, are the sole property of the Department.
The Contractor will be the sole entity allowed to physically modify the following data within the progress schedule: activity IDs; activity descriptions; activity durations; relationships between activities; successors and predecessors, actual start and actual finish dates of activities; planned start and planned finish dates of activities; and activity resources (with the exception that activities assigned resources labeled to reflect Department personnel may be changed to reflect specific individuals, or job roles, within the Department).
The Department may modify certain data associated with the progress schedule to ensure conformance to the Department’s Enterprise Project Management standard schedule format. This means that the Department may: create additional layouts, filters and reports; create and edit additional user defined custom data fields; assign Project Codes; add and assign additional project Activity Codes; add and assign additional Cost Account Codes; add and assign additional Resource Codes; enter data in Notebook tabs; modify calendar ID’s (although not the calendar itself); etc; that do not alter the established activities or schedule logic of the Contractor. The Engineer shall communicate to the Project Scheduler the types and scope of changes planned to be made to the progress schedules prior to the implementation of those changes. The Contractor shall not delete or modify any schedule data entered by the Department without prior approval by the Engineer. The schedule data added by the Department shall be incorporated into future schedule submissions of the Contractor.
The Department may make copies of the Contractor’s progress schedules to perform what-if type analysis, which may involve any type of modification to those copies of the schedules.
C.3 Software availability. Oracle-Primavera software and schedule data on the Department’s EPMD willgenerally be available for the Contractor’s use at all times unless system maintenance (e.g. backups, upgrades, etc) is being performed. System maintenance will generally be conducted over short time periods between the hours of 10 PM – 6AM, Monday - Friday and on weekends. The Department does perform regular backup of data contained in the EPMD, and will make every effort to restore the latest historical copy of schedule submissions in the event of any data failure of the EPMD. The Contractor shall also be responsible for exporting copies of project progress schedules, recovery schedules, TIA schedules, after data modifications have been made as their backup of these submissions. In the event a Contractor’s authorized user cannot access the software from 6AM to 10PM Monday through Friday, the Contractor shall provide written notification to the Engineer.
C.4 Schedule Templates. The Department will provide the Contractor either a project specific SuggestedPreliminary Construction Schedule or a project schedule template for the Contractor’s use in developing their CPM Progress Schedule.
C.5 Importing/Exporting Schedules. Contractor’s users will have the security privileges to “Export” theirprogress schedule files from the central P6 database to a computer. However, the Department will not allow any user to “Import” or accept Progress Schedule files from any other computer system back into the Department’s EPMD.
D. Meetings.D.1. Preconstruction Schedule Meeting. The Contractor shall contact the Regional Construction
Engineer after notification they are the apparent low bidder, but no later than two (2) Work Days following notification of contract award to schedule a Preconstruction Schedule Meeting. The purpose of this meeting will be to discuss essential matters pertaining to the satisfactory scheduling of project activities, and to resolve any known questions regarding interpretation of the contract requirements for this work.
The Project Scheduler shall be prepared to discuss the following: a) The proposed hierarchal Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) for the Progress Schedules. The
Project Scheduler shall provide a paper copy at the meeting.b) The proposed project calendars.c) The proposed project activity codes and various code values for each activity code. The Project
Scheduler shall provide a paper copy at the meeting.d) The specifics of any contract Time-Related Clauses (A+B Bidding, Incentive/Disincentive,
Liquidated Damages, Lane Rental, etc.);e) The Contractor’s schedule methodology to be employed, proposed work sequence and any
proposed deviations from the contract plans with respect to Staging or Work Zone Traffic Controlphasing.
f) The Key Plans shall be provided at the meeting.g) The factors that the Contractor determines to control the completion of the project and any
milestone activity completion dates contained therein.h) The Project Scheduler shall provide an outline for the content of the Narrative report for future
Progress Schedule submissions.i) Schedule submission protocol for Progress Schedule submissions.
The Contractor shall submit to the Engineer for review, a minimum of five Work Days prior to thePreconstruction Schedule Meeting, the following: a copy of the Key Plans, a print out of the proposed Work Breakdown Structure, a print out of each of the proposed project Calendars showing the Work Days versus non-work days and hours per day, and a list of the Code Values for each Project Activity Code proposed to be used in the schedules.
The Engineer will be available to answer questions regarding scheduling, including: the availability of Department supplied electronic file(s) containing sample project schedule information, sample
progress schedule narratives, Special Notes for CPM Scheduling, and required standard format for CPM Progress Schedules for contract work. The Contractor shall schedule meetings as necessary with the Engineer to discuss schedule development and resolve schedule issues, until the Final Baseline Progress Schedule @ Award is accepted by the Engineer.
D.2. Progress Meetings. One topic of the regular progress meetings held by the Engineer and attendedby the Contractor shall be a review of the Weekly Status Report generated from the Progress Schedule. The Contractor shall be represented by the Field Superintendent and Project Scheduler. The Project Scheduler shall bring a copy of the printed plot of the current Weekly Status Report to the progress meeting, the report shall show the current anticipated schedule for all remaining work with the critical path activities highlighted. a) The review of the Status Report serves as the forum to discuss project progress and delays,
suggested remedies, necessary Progress Schedule revisions, coordination requirements, changeorders, potential Contractor time extension requests, and other relevant issues. If contract work isfalling behind the Progress Schedule, the responsible party (i.e.- Contractor or Department) shall beready to discuss what measures it will take in the next thirty (30) days to put the work back onschedule so as to meet the contract Completion Date specified in the contract.
b) Items of discussion will include, but are not limited to: project progress; schedule progress; nearterm and long-term schedule issues, including RFIs, Shop Drawing submittals, permit work, utilityrelocations, mitigation work; project issues and risks; proposed solutions; and any relevanttechnical issues that are schedule related.
c) At the meeting the Project Scheduler shall compile an action item list that describes who isresponsible for existing or pending issues and the date by which the issue needs to be resolved toavoid delays. The Contractor shall forward a copy of the action item list to the Engineer within 2business days following the meeting.
E. Progress Schedule Submissions:E.1. Draft Baseline Schedule. The Contractor is encouraged, but not required, to submit a Draft Baseline
Progress Schedule that demonstrates a sample of how the Project Scheduler’s proposed alphanumeric coding structure and the activity identification system for labeling work activities in the CPM progress schedule will conform to the detailed requirements of this specification.
This submittal may be made anytime following notice to the Contractor that they are the apparent low bidder on the contract.
Critical items for this review should include but are not limited to: the proposed WBS for subsequent progress schedules; the proposed project Calendars; project Planned Start date; project Must Finish By date; major milestone activities (e.g. - Award, Notice to Proceed, Contractor’s First Day of Work, Contractor’s Last day of Work, Anticipated Completion Date); and between fifty to one hundred summary activities for the major work deliverables of the contract (e.g. - pave EB from STA x to STA y, construct roundabout 1, construct bridge xyz, etc) that have assigned Activity Ids, Activity Descriptions, Activity Durations, Predecessors, Successors, and Activity Relationships. These summary activities will be broken down into, or supplemented with, individual work activities for the baseline submission.
If any Crew resources are included, the composition of the staffing (the number and titles of the various staff) shall be listed in the Notes tab of the Crew resource, and the composition of the crews shall be included in the narrative. To the extent practicable, the Draft Baseline Progress Schedule should include administrative and procurement activities to be accomplished during the contract; planned submittal, review, and approval dates for shop drawings, working drawings, fabrication drawings, and contractor supplied plans, procedures, and specifications.
Any submission of a Draft Baseline Progress Schedule should be accompanied by a written Narrative that provides details of the Calendar assignments of Working Days versus non-work days, outlines the sequence of planned operations to complete the project work, and provides the proposed Activity Codes and Code values to be assigned to activities in future submissions of project progress schedules.
The review and comment by the Engineer of the sample schedule should assist the Project Scheduler in assuring the first submittal of the Baseline Progress Schedule @ Award will be in general conformance with the requirements of the specification and other contract requirements, and that major rework of the Baseline Progress Schedule @ Award will not be required. The Engineer will review the logic diagram, coding structure, activity identification system, and Narrative; and provide comments for required changes by the Project Scheduler for implementation in the submission of the Baseline Progress Schedule @ Award. The Engineer will provide written comments on major deficiencies within five (5) Work Days of receipt. The Department reviews Draft Baseline Progress Schedules solely for format, and will not consider any submission of a Draft Baseline Progress Schedule for approval as an Early Completion Schedule.
E.2.

The Logic Tie shown shall be used as a relationship to the predecessor activities contained in the column named Follows.
d) Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) - A multi level hierarchal WBS shall be incorporated thatprovides a deliverable-oriented grouping of activities and defines the total scope of the project.The Contractor shall develop a detailed project specific WBS for the Engineer’s review and approval.The Engineer shall make the final determination on the number of levels of the WBS, and how theactivities shall be grouped to represent the deliverables of the project.
For all projects the first two levels (nodes) of the WBS shall be labeled as follows:Level 1 - is the project level; and shall have the project name. Level 2 - shall have three nodes; “PRECONSTRUCTION”, “CONSTRUCTION”, and “POST
CONSTRUCTION”; Level 3- under “PRE-CONSTRUCTION”, shall include at least three nodes “GENERAL
SUBMITTALS”, “SHOP DRAWINGS”; and “PROCUREMENT/FABRICATION/DELIVERY”.
Level 3- under “CONSTRUCTION”; shall have three nodes “PRE-CONSTRUCTION”, “CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS”, and “POST CONSTRUCTION/CLOSEOUT”;
Under the “CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS” node, the grouping of activities may vary depending on the scope and nature of the project work. The Contractor shall coordinate with the Engineer to determine the best way to represent (group activities) the project deliverables (i.e. Bridge, Roundabout, Highway segment, Interchange, Intersection, etc) and the various Stages or Phases of work. The Engineer may require sub nodes for AREA (geographic area within the project limits), STAGE, or for a bridge project SUBSTRUCTURE, SUPERSTRUCTURE, and DECK .
Generally Level 4 would be by geographic area within the project limits, Level 5 would be by highway feature (bridge, highway segment, intersection), Level 6 the highway features should be broken into their components (a bridge into components such as Piles, Substructure, Superstructure), and a highway segment into components such as pavement, drainage, earthwork, lighting, traffic signals, etc.
An example Work Breakdown Structure is shown below in Figure 1
FIGURE 1
e) Activity ID - Include a unique identification number for each activity. Activity ID numbers shall notbe changed, or reassigned for the duration of the contract. Task type Activity IDs shall be prefixed bya “C”. Milestone type activities shall be prefixed by an “M”. .
f) Activity Name - Clearly and uniquely define each activity name with a description of the work that isreadily identifiable to inspection staff and the progress of each activity can be measured. EachActivity shall have a narrative description consisting at a minimum of a verb or work function (i.e.
form, pour, excavate, etc), an object (i.e. slab, footing, wall, etc), and a location (i.e. STA, bridge or retaining wall number, street, etc). The work related to each Activity shall be limited to one Area of the contract, one Stage of the contract, one WZTC Phase of the contract, and one Responsible Party of the contract. The Activity Name shall not be changed for the duration of the contract without approval of the Engineer.
g) Milestone Activities - Include activities for all contract milestones that define significant contractualevents such as Contract Award, Notice to Proceed, Contractor Start Work, Substantial Completion,Physical Completion, Contract Completion, and coordination points with outside entities such asutilities, State agencies, Authorities, municipalities, Time-Related Contract Provisions, etc.
• The Contract Award milestone shall have a primary constraint of “Finish On” and the dateof Contract signature by the State Comptroller,
• The Contract Completion milestone shall have a primary constraint of “Finish on or before”and the contract Completion Date.
• The Contractor Start Work” Start milestone activity, that will eventually reflect the actualdate the Contractor started work authorized under the contract.
h) Activity Durations – Define the Original Duration of each activity in units of whole work days,except for activities of less than one day duration which should be shown in units of tenths of a day.Except submittal/procurement activities, durations shall not exceed 15 work days unless approved bythe Engineer. Durations for Department submittal reviews shall meet the requirements set forth in thecontract documents. If requested by the Engineer, the Contractor shall justify the reasonableness ofplanned activity time durations. Task Dependent activities shall not have a zero duration.
i) Activity Relationships - Clearly assign predecessors and successors relationships to each activity,and assign appropriate logic ties between activities (Finish to Start, Start to Start, Finish to Finish,etc). Do not have any open ended activities, with the exception of the first activity and last activity inthe schedule. An activity may only appear once as a predecessor or successor to another specificactivity, but may be assigned as a predecessor or successor to many different activities. Do notinclude inappropriate logic ties with Milestone activities (For a finish milestone activity: apredecessor shall only be assigned a Finish to Finish logic tie, a successor shall only be assigned aFinish to Start or Finish to Finish logic tie. For a start milestone: a predecessor shall only be assigneda Finish to Start or Start to Start logic tie, a successor shall only be assigned with a Start to Start logictie). Lag time may not exceed 10 days. The Contractor shall not use negative Lag times.
j) The Contractor shall assign the “Contract Award Date” activity as a predecessor to all Review andApproval type activities to be performed by Department staff.
k) Activity Constraint Dates – The Contractor shall not have any constrained activities, with theexception of contractual dates, unless the Engineer accepts such constraints in writing. Milestoneactivities shall be included for the Contract Award which shall have a primary constraint of “FinishOn” and the date of contract signature by the State Comptroller, and for the Anticipated ContractCompletion which shall have a primary constraint of “Finish on or before” and the contractcompletion date indicated in the contract documents. Only contractual/owner-designated constraintsare allowed unless specifically authorized by this specification or the Engineer. . If used, onlyConstraints of type, “Finish on or Before”, ‘Start on or After”, or when deemed appropriate by theEngineer “As-Late-As-Possible” are acceptable
l) Activity Dates – With the exception of contract Milestone dates, “Actual Start” and “Actual Finish”dates and “Planned Start” and “Planned Finish” dates, activity dates shall be calculated by the projectscheduler tool within the Oracle-Primavera software. No Actual Start or Actual Finish dates shall beentered in the Baseline Progress Schedule @ Award, with the exception of activities that werecompleted prior to the Contract Award.
m) Calendars - Use clearly defined calendars that account for expected seasonal weather conditions(including winter shutdown periods) and environmental permit requirements, for the planning andscheduling of activities. Do not incorporate an activity with a description of “Winter Shutdown” thatrequires constraints. Provide the working days per week, non-working holidays. Also provide the
number of shifts per day, and the number of hours per shift by using the Calendar feature, called “Time Periods” in the P6 software. Incorporate any seasonal restrictions to the work within calendars assigned to activities.
● Global calendars used in the progress schedule shall be those established by the Department.There are only two Global Calendars developed and maintained by the Department for use byContractor’s, they are the following:
• NYSDOT Milestone/Curing 365 Day / 8 hour• State Business Days, 5 Day Work Week w/State Holidays, Field
All milestone activities in the schedule shall be assigned the standard Global calendar named ‘NYSDOT Milestone/Curing 365 Day / 8 hour”, this calendar should also be assigned to any activities for concrete curing. Activities for shop drawing reviews and other approvals by Department personnel shall be assigned the Department’s standard Global – “State Business Day, 5 Day Work Week w/State Holidays, Field” Calendar that reflects all holidays observed by the State.
Changes desired for these calendars shall be forwarded by email to [email protected], and if appropriate these changes will be performed by the Office of Construction system admin staff. This will be accomplished by making a copy of the existing Global calendar, and then the new calendar will be renamed and modified as necessary.
● Calendars related to specific resources (i.e., Crane, Bidwell, Asphalt Paver) shall beestablished as Project level Calendars (not Resource calendars), with the Calendar nameclearly identifying the resource.
● All other calendars developed by a Contractor shall be established as Project Calendars, withthe calendar name including the contract D# and describing the function (i.e., D260000 -Asphalt Calendar, D260000 - Concrete Calendar, D260000 - Landscape Calendar, D260000 -Painting Calendar, D260000 – Contractor’s 5 Day/8 Hour Workweek). All work activities ofthe Contractor shall be assigned to Project Calendars.
● The Baseline Progress Schedule can not include a calendar that reflects any workers workingmore than 8 hours in any one calendar day or more than 5 days in any one week. (§102-10LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT) Following the contract award the Contractor can addadditional calendars in their next Monthly Progress Schedule submission based on anapproved overtime dispensation.
n) Clearly define significant interaction points between the Contractor, the Department, and otherentities including but not limited to: Federal, State and local agencies/authorities; and utilities. Allactivities of the Department, utility companies, adjacent contracts, and other entities that affectprogress and influence any contract required dates including durations shall be shown in the schedule.This includes dates related to all Permits or Agreements. The schedule shall give specialconsideration to sensitive areas such as road closures and parklands and shall indicate any timeframes when work is restricted in these sensitive areas as outlined in the permits issued by theregulatory agencies, and provided in the contract documents.
o) Activity Resources – It shall be the Contractor’s responsibility to assure the activity logic in theschedule properly reflects their resource limitations. An activity shall not involve multiple crewscomprised of the Contractor and a subcontractor, or multiple subcontractors.
The level of resource loading of the schedule shall dependant on the schedule Type.Type 2A. Monthly Progress Schedules - The Contractor will generally not be required to develop Labor resources, Equipment resources or Contract Pay Item resources in the Resource Dictionary, or assign them to schedule activities. Type 2B. Bi-Weekly Progress Schedules - The Contractor shall develop crew level Labor resources, along with Equipment resources in the Resource Dictionary, and assign them to schedule activities. Equipment resources for major or specialty equipment such as tower cranes, piledrivers, barges, asphalt pavers, concrete pavers, dozers, front end loaders, backhoes, rollers,
excavators, graders, long line striping truck or other equipment that cannot be rented easily shall be assigned to schedule activities. Type 2C. Weekly Progress Schedules - The Contractor shall develop Labor resources, Equipment resources and contract Pay Item resources in the Resource Dictionary. The Contractor shall define labor resources for the project that comprise the various labor classifications (i.e. – Tower Crane Operator, Operator, Labor Foreman, Laborer, Carpenter, Teamster, Dock Builder, Iron Worker, Painter…), and these resources shall be assigned to schedule activities. Equipment resources for major or specialty equipment such as tower cranes, piledrivers, barges, asphalt pavers, concrete pavers, dozers, front end loaders, backhoes, rollers, excavators, graders, long line striping truck or other equipment that cannot be rented easily shall be assigned to schedule activities. The Department shall provide a resource library of Global Pay Item resources for all standard pay items contained in the Standard Specifications, and the Contractor shall develop pay item resources for any pay items for Special Specifications in the contract. For each activity in the Progress Schedule the Contractor shall assign the appropriate pay item resources, and within the resource details enter the appropriate quantity for each pay item. The Baseline Progress Schedule at Award shall include resource loading for the first ninety (90) days of anticipated contract field (non administrative) work. The remaining activities will require pay item resource assignments as required under paragraph F.2.c. The resource allocations shall be shown to a level of detail that facilitates report generation based on labor classifications and equipment classes for the Contractor and subcontractors. The Contractor shall optimize and level labor to reflect a reasonable plan for accomplishing the work of the contract and to assure that resources are not duplicated in concurrent activities. The time-scaled resource histograms shall show labor classifications and equipment classes to be utilized on the contract.
p) Production Rates – The Contractor shall enter the quantity of the major item of work for each nonadministrative activity in the schedule into the field labeled “PR Quantity”, the Unit of Measure forthat major item in the field labeled “PR Unit”, the anticipated production rate of the equipment andlabor resources for that activity of work in the field labeled “Production Rate / Day”, and theassociated duration for that work in the field labeled “PR Duration”. These are all Activity level UDFfields, and can be found in the activity Layout named Contractor Production Rates.
q) Activity Codes – The Contractor shall include a well-defined activity coding structure that allowsproject activities to be sorted and filtered. Activity Codes shall include, but not be limited to:Responsible Party; Stage; Area of Work; Type of Work; Subcontractor; and additionally as requiredby the Engineer to meet the needs of the specific contract work to facilitate the use and analysis of theschedule.
● No Global Activity Codes shall be incorporated in any progress schedule submission to theEngineer except those established by the Department.
● The Global activity codes established by the Department shall be used to the maximum extentpracticable. The Contractor shall assign the appropriate activity code values to each activityin the progress schedule for the following Global Activity Codes that are in the Department’senterprise database:
1) RESPONSIBLE PARTY (DOT GLOBAL)2) STAGE (DOT GLOBAL)3) AREA (DOT GLOBAL)4) TYPE OF WORK (DOT GLOBAL)5) CHANGED (ADDED/DELETED) WORK (DOT GLOBAL)6) TIME Related Clauses (DOT GLOBAL)7) DELAY (DOT GLOBAL)
● Additional Activity Codes developed for specific projects shall be established as ProjectActivity Codes. As a minimum this shall include the following:
r) Activity Code Values – Each Activity Code shall be broken down into various Activity Code Valuesthat are then assigned to activities. For example, the Activity Code “Stage” shall include a hierarchalarrangement of Activity Code Values as shown below in Figure 2:
FIGURE 2
s) Activity Code Assignments - For each activity, within the activity details the Contractor shall assignActivity Code values to identify the “Responsible Party” (i.e. – Contractor, NYSDOT, Utility Co,Municipality) for the work to be performed (one and only one responsible party shall be assigned toeach activity), the “Stage” of the contract for the work that will be performed, the “Area” where thework is to be performed, the “WZTC Phase”, and the Type of Work (i.e. - Procurement, Paving,Embankment, Excavation, Electrical, Signing, etc). For activities included in work governed by time-related contract provisions, the appropriate “Time Related” activity code shall be utilized. Foractivities included in work added and/or changed within an Order-On-Contract, the appropriate
“Added/Changed Work” code shall be utilized. For all work activities performed by the Contractor or subcontractors/fabricators/suppliers, “Contactor” shall be designated as the Responsible Party
t) Interim Milestone Dates with Liquidated Damages and Special Time-Related ContractProvisions (i.e. – A+B Bidding, Incentive/Disincentive provisions, Lane Rental) – Each time-relatedcontract provision in the contract shall be represented in the progress schedule by having a start andfinish milestone, with appropriate predecessors and successors assigned to all schedule activitiesconsidered part of that time-related contract provision work including the start and finish milestoneactivities. In addition, the Start milestone for the time-related contract work shall have predecessorsand/or date constraints assigned that include those defined in the contract documents, and the Finishmilestone for the time-related contract work shall have successors and/or date constraints assignedthat include those defined in the contract documents. All schedule activities associated with eachspecific time-related contract provision shall be assigned to a separate node within the project WBSand the WBS node description shall be labeled accordingly, in addition these activities shall beassigned the appropriate Time-Related Clauses (DOT GLOBAL) activity code value. A Level OfEffort activity shall be used for each time related contract provision (i.e - “Incentive 1 Duration” or“B Clock 1 Duration”), this activity shall have the Start Milestone as a predecessor with a SSrelationship and the Finish Milestone as a successor with a FF relationship and the duration of thisactivity shall be calculated when the project is scheduled.
u) List of Submittals – The Contractor shall submit with the Progress Schedule a list of all Submittals(i.e. - Shop Drawings, required permits, Erection/Demolition plans, Heath and Safety Plan, etc.)generated from the Baseline Progress Schedule for review and approval by the Engineer. TheContractor shall use a Filter to limit the schedule activities shown in the report to only theprepare/submit, and review/approve activities related to submittals. For construction contracts thatutilize Oracle-Primavera Contract Manager, Shop Drawing submittal activities in the ProgressSchedule shall be at the Submittal Package level. The report shall be in Adobe PDF format andtransmitted to the Engineer by email.
F.2. Weekly/Bi-Weekly/Monthly Progress Schedules. In addition to the detailed schedulerequirements for the submission of the Baseline Progress Schedule @ Award, the Contractor shallcomplete the following additional requirements for these regular Progress Schedule submissions: a) Activity Status -
i) Durations – the Original Duration shall not be changed without prior written justification by theContractor, and written approval by the EIC. The Contractor shall edit the Remaining Durationto reflect progress made on work activities, and shall not use Duration % . If a proposed changeto Original Duration is due to additional or changed work to the contract the Contractor shallinstead add an activity to reflect this additional work, and assign the appropriate Activity Code.The Contractor shall not use zero durations for Task Dependant activities.
ii) Started and Finished dates – for each activity where work was begun during the Weekly/Bi-weekly or Monthly reporting period, the Contractor shall check the box adjacent to Started andenter the date the work began. For each activity where work was completed during theWeekly/Bi-weekly or Monthly reporting period, the Contractor shall check the box adjacent toFinished and enter the date the work was completed.
iii) Suspended work – The first time that work has been suspended on a schedule activity, theContractor shall enter the Suspend and Resume fields within the Project Details under the Statustab. For any subsequent suspensions of work to that activity the Contractor shall break thatactivity into two or more activities to accurately reflect the suspension and resumption of workdates in the field, and to more accurately reflect the relationship to other work activities.
b) Calendars – To change a project calendar for activities scheduled in the future, the Contractor shallcopy the calendar and use a revised name that includes a reference to which Update the change wasincorporated (i.e. - D260000 - Concrete Calendar should be revised to D260000 – 2 - Concrete
Calendar to reflect the 2nd Monthly Update when the change was made to the calendar). The reason for the change in the calendar shall be documented in the Narrative.
c) Resources –Type 2C. Weekly Progress Schedules – For each of the first four Weekly Progress Schedulesubmissions the Contractor shall assign as a minimum an additional month of Labor, Equipment andPay Item resources for anticipated contract field work. For each subsequent month of the contract theContractor’s Progress Schedule submission shall include labor, equipment and pay item resources foran additional year of anticipated contract work until all activities in the schedule have resourcesdefined. Until such time that all activities are resource loaded, for any activity that resourcelimitations are affecting the prosecution of work, as determined by the Engineer, labor and equipmentresources shall be entered in the schedule by the Contractor. When the resource assignments arecomplete for all schedule activities, the Engineer will compare pay item quantities in the schedulewith pay item quantities in the Engineer’s estimate to determine if all contract work is represented inthe Contractor’s schedule.
d) Notebook Tab –i) Delays - For any activities on the critical path that are delayed during this monthly reporting
period, the Contractor shall enter the dates the activity was delayed and the reason for such delayin the Notebook tab of that activity.
ii) Activity Changes – For any changes to activity logic, calendar assignments, suspended work,added or revised lag periods or constraints the Contractor shall document the change and reasonin a Notebook Topic for that activity by assigning the appropriate “Progress Submission #Revision” and describing the changes.
e) Production Rates – For all non administrative that have shifted onto the critical path, or now haveless than 20 days of Total Float, the Contractor shall enter the Production Rate information requiredin paragraph F.1.p. For any activities where the work to be performed is similar in nature to workalready performed on the same project and that the Production Rate for the work to be performed isdifferent than the actual Production Rate for work already performed the Engineer may require theContractor to adjust the Duration for the work to be performed to reflect the more appropriateProduction Rate.
f) Deleted work – If work has been deleted the corresponding work activities in the schedule shall bedeleted. The Contractor shall not just zero the activity duration since the calendar assigned to thezero duration activity shall still affect the logic of future work activities.
g) The Project Scheduler can modify the project’s Data Date through the Schedule tool.h) The Contractor shall complete the following additional requirements based on the governing
schedule type for the specific construction contract.Type 2A. Monthly Progress Schedules
i) Data Date - the “Data Date” shall be the date the Project Scheduler last edits the schedule prior tosubmission to the Engineer (generally the last working day of the month).
ii) Submission frequency. The Contractor shall submit the schedule file and Narrative Report tothe Engineer monthly. The schedule submission to the Engineer shall be made within three (3)Work Days of the last day of the month, whether or not the Engineer has accepted the previousProgress Schedule submission.
Type 2B. Bi-Weekly Progress Schedules i) Data Date - the “Data Date” shall be the date the Project Scheduler last edits the schedule prior to
submission to the Engineer (generally the 1st working day of the month, and the 16th day of themonth).

● APPENDIX 4 – A listing of work activities filtered by NoteBook Topics assigned as of the datadate, sorted by Finish date and Total Float in increasing order, showing the Activity ID, ActivityName, and Notebook Topic. The grouping of activities shall be by WBS.
H. Schedule Submission Methodology. Progress Schedule submissions will only be consideredcomplete when all documents and data have been provided to the Engineer.H.1. When preparing a formal submission of the progress schedule, the Contractor shall make a copy of the
current Progress Schedule and name it according to the file naming convention provided by the Department in Table 3.
H.2. File Naming Convention. The schedule filename shall conform to the requirements of Table 3.
The Project Scheduler can change the Project ID and Name through the WBS at the top node, as they do not have privileges to edit data through the Project Details tab.
H.3.Schedule the project. Immediately prior to submitting the schedule the Project Scheduler shall“Schedule” the project using the Scheduling Options shown below and in Figure 3, unless approval tovary from these settings is given by the Engineer. The Project Scheduler shall use the same Scheduling Options for all Progress Schedule submittals for the duration of the contract.
When entering the Data Date, the Contractor shall use the Date they last modified the schedule and the time entered shall be the end of the work day (generally 5pm) indicated on the project’s default calendar.
H.4. Schedule Submission Delivery. The Contractor shall submit the schedule to the Engineerelectronically for review and acceptance. The Contractor’s submission shall be documented by an E-mailto the Engineer, with a copy to [email protected] and all appropriate project participants, that the project schedule on the network is ready for review. The Contractor’s E-mail to the Engineer shall also consist of the following:
i) The subject of the E-mail shall include the Region #, contract D number, the Project Name, theProgress Schedule’s ProjectID, and construction company name. (i.e. – Region 8, D260000,Rehabilitation of Main Street viaduct, D260000-01SU2, ABC Contractors)
ii) The E-mail message shall include the name of the EIC, the current anticipated Finish date of thelast activity in the project schedule, a statement as to how that date compares to the current ContractCompletion Date, and the name of the Area Construction Supervisor.
iii) Electronic files of all Narrative Reports and required attachments associated with the schedule shallbe submitted by the Contractor in Adobe Acrobat format.
I. Progress Schedule Review and Analysis:I.1. Immediate Rejection of Progress Schedule Submissions. The following deficiencies in a
Contractor’s progress schedule submission shall be grounds for the immediate rejection by the EIC, without further review, analysis and/or comments.
a) Failure of the Project Scheduler to “schedule” the project, as of the data date.b) Failure to attach a copy of the complete Scheduling/Leveling Report (SCHEDLOG.TXT file
generated by the Department’s Oracle-Primavera software application).c) Any activities without predecessors, or activities without successors, appearing in the
Scheduling/Leveling Report with the exception of the first and last activity in the schedule.d) Any activity constraints appearing in the Scheduling/Leveling Report that have not been
approved in writing by the EIC, or that are not specifically allowed by this specification.e) Any Activities with Actual Dates > Data Date appearing in the Scheduling/Leveling Report.f) Any Milestone Activities with invalid relationships appearing in the Scheduling/Leveling Report.g) Failure to have a clearly defined Critical Path from the Data Date to the last activity in the
schedule, using the Longest Path method. This would reflect logic errors in the project schedule.h) Failure to attach the schedule Narrative and required appendices.i) Repeated failure to correct “Out-Of-Sequence” activities.
If any of these deficiencies are found, the Contractor’s submission shall be considered deficient,and Engineer will notify the Contractor immediately by return E-mail of the rejection of the schedule submittal.
I.2. Schedule Analysis Method.Events, actions, and progress that cause delays or gains to the Progress Schedule will be analyzed solely by the "Contemporaneous Period Analysis" method.
I.3. Department Review and Acceptance of Progress Schedules.The Engineer will review the Monthly Progress Schedule submissions and will prepare a written response (Progress Schedule Review Report) to the Contractor’s submission within five (5) Work Days following receipt of the Contractor’s complete schedule submission. The Engineer will either “accept” the schedule, “accept as noted”, or “reject” the schedule for re-submittal by the Contractor.
If the Progress Schedule submission is not in compliance with contract requirements, the Engineer may reject the submittal and shall forward any comments and requests for schedule revisions to the Project Scheduler by email, with a copy to the Contractor and to [email protected]. The Project Scheduler shall address all comments in writing and/or make the requested revisions, and resubmit the revised schedule within three (3) State Business days of the Engineer’s reply. If the
Engineer determines the revised submission still does not meet the contract requirements, any further revisions required thereafter shall also be submitted for acceptance within (3) Work Days of the request for revisions by the Engineer.
For schedules that are “accepted as noted” the Engineer shall forward any comments, or requests for revisions, to the Contractor by email, with a copy to the [email protected]. The Project Scheduler shall address all comments in writing and/or make the requested revisions as part of the next scheduled Progress Schedule submission.
The Project Scheduler shall make adjustments to the Progress Schedule in accordance with the Engineer’s comments and resubmit copies for review consistent with the requirements of this section.
The Engineer, by accepting the progress Schedule, does not agree that the Progress Schedule is reasonable or that by following the Progress Schedule the Contractor can complete the work in a timely manner. If, after a Progress Schedule has been accepted by the Engineer, either the Contractor or the Engineer discover that any aspect of the Schedule is on error, or something significant has been omitted, the Contractor shall correct the Progress Schedule in the next Progress Schedule submission and describe this revision in the Narrative report.
Acceptance of progress schedules by the Engineer shall not be construed to imply approval of any particular construction methods or sequence of construction or to relieve the Contractor from its responsibility to provide sufficient materials, equipment and labor to guarantee the completion of the contract in accordance with the contract documents.
Acceptance of the progress schedule by the Engineer does not attest to the validity of assumptions, activities, relationships, sequences, resource allocations, or any other aspect of the progress schedule. Within the contractual constraints, the Contractor is solely responsible for the planning and execution of the work.
Acceptance of the progress schedule by the Engineer shall not be construed to modify or amend the contract agreement or the date of completion therein. Completion dates can only be modified or amended by standard contractual means, through an official HC-250b Request For Extension of Completion Date.
If any resources are included in the Progress Schedule, it is not intended that the Engineer, by accepting the schedule should use the Contractor’s resource data for anything other than determining the reasonableness of achieving the Contractor’s production rates. Resources included with the accepted CPM schedule shall not be misconstrued as a cost benchmark for the performance of planned or actual work.
Once the progress schedule has been accepted, the Contractor shall not deviate from it without first notifying the Engineer in writing.
Upon receipt from the Contractor of the corrected schedule, a new review period by the Engineer of five (5) Work Days will begin.
J. Changes to Progress Schedule due to Added/Deleted/Changed Work:J.1. Changes to the contract. In the event a notice of a change to the contract is received, the appropriate
changes to the progress schedule shall be made, as necessary, to incorporate the anticipatedadded/deleted/changed work and the Contractor shall notify the Engineer in writing within 10 (ten) calendar days if there is any effect of such change to the schedule. Change to the contract includes, but is not limited to, Extra Work, Change Orders, Suspensions of Work Directed by the Engineer, Changed Condition, and Value Engineering Change Proposals. Added, deleted and/or extra work associated with Change Orders shall be reflected in the next Monthly Progress Schedule Submission in anticipation of and prior to the date in which the work physically takes place without regard to the dates when the actual Change Order was approved. The effect of the change to the contract on the projects Critical Path shall be stated. Extra work or additional work that does not affect the controlling operation on the critical path will not be considered as the basis for a time extension. All schedule activities effected by added, deleted or changed work that is included in a signed Order-On-Contract, Field Change Order, or Authorization of Extra Work (with the exception of minor quantity changes that do not impact contract milestones), or work activities performed by the Contractor at risk in anticipation of such Department approval, shall be
assigned the appropriate Activity Code (Added/Changed Work) and Code Value (sequentially numbered) to denote which “Changed Contract Work” order number correlates to those activities of work.
J.2. Time Impact Analysis.For each request of an adjustment of contract time due to an anticipated change to future work in theProgress Schedule, when the Contractor or Engineer consider that an anticipated or approved change to the contract may impact the critical path and contract progress by more than a calendar month, the Contractor shall submit a Time Impact Analysis (TIA). The TIA shall be submitted as part of any Order on Contract (Change Order) and/or VECP if the critical path changes by more than a calendar month. The TIA shall be based on a revised Progress Schedule and shall be submitted as an electronic file (using Microsoft Word for the narrative) containing: a) The TIA shall illustrate the impacts of each change or delay on the current scheduled completion date
or internal milestone, as appropriate.b) The analysis shall use the accepted Monthly Progress Schedule that has a data date closest to and
prior to the event as the “Current Baseline”, this shall then be compared against the “What-if ProjectPlan Baseline” for the purpose of the TIA.
c) If the Engineer determines that the accepted schedule used does not appropriately represent theconditions prior to the event, the accepted schedule shall be updated to the day before the event beinganalyzed.
d) The TIA shall include an impacted schedule (“What-if Project Plan Baseline”) developed fromincorporating the actual or anticipated event into the accepted schedule by adding or deletingactivities, or by changing durations or logic of existing activities.
e) If the impact schedule shows that incorporating the event negatively modifies the critical path andscheduled completion date of the accepted schedule, and the Engineer accepts the impacted schedule,the difference between scheduled completion dates of the two schedules shall be equal to theproposed adjustment of contract time.
f) The Engineer may construct and utilize an appropriate project schedule or use another recognizedmethod to determine adjustments in contract time until the Contractor provides the TIA.
g) The Contractor shall submit a TIA within fifteen (15) State Business Days of receiving a writtenrequest for a TIA from the Engineer.
h) The Contractor shall allow the Engineer ten (10) Work Days after receipt to accept or reject thesubmitted TIA. All accepted TIA schedule changes shall be included in the next Monthly ProgressSchedule submission.
i) If a TIA submitted by the Contractor is rejected by the Engineer, the Contractor shall meet with theEngineer to discuss and resolve issues related to the TIA. If agreement is not reached, the Contractorwill give notice in conformance with §104-06 Notice & Recordkeeping, and submit in accordancewithin the provisions in §105-14.E "Required Content of Dispute Submissions".
j) The Contractor shall only show actual as-built work, not unapproved changes related to the TIA, insubsequent Monthly Progress Schedules submissions. If agreement is reached at a later date,approved TIA schedule changes shall be included in the next Monthly Progress Schedule submission.
k) Request for a contract time extension will not be processed until the receipt and approval of a TimeImpact Analysis.
K. Failure to Submit Progress Schedules and/or Recovery Schedules:K.1.No progress payment for this item of work shall be made until the progress schedule is “accepted” or
“accepted as noted” by the Engineer. K.2.If the Contractor’s Progress Schedule submission is rejected due to any deficiency noted in paragraph
I.1(a) through (i), it shall be considered an incomplete submission and therefore substantially deficient.K.3.If the Contractor’s revised Progress Schedule submission does not address the written comments
provided by the Engineer, and does not include a written explanation with a reasonable rational for not addressing those comments, the submission shall be considered deficient.
K.4. If the Contractor fails to submit a CPM Progress Schedule conforming to the provisions required underthis specification, to the degree that such failure is deemed by the Regional Construction Engineer to
adversely affect the management of the project and/or the administration of the construction contract, liquidated damages will be assessed as determined under Basis of Payment.
L. Recovery ScheduleL.1 If the latest completion time for any work on the current Progress Schedule results in an activity being
delayed ten percent or more of the time beyond the required Contract duration or any specified Milestone duration, as adjusted if appropriate, the Engineer may require the Contractor to submit a Recovery Schedule and written description of the plan to recover all lost time and maintain the required Completion Date or specified Interim Milestone Date(s).
L.2. With the Recovery Schedule the Contractor shall submit a narrative that identifies where additional laborand/or equipment resources will be allocated. Alternately, the Contractor may elect to provide the makeup of their Crew resources in the narrative, and assign those Crew resources to the appropriate activities in the Progress Schedule. The makeup of the Crew shall include the various Labor classes and equipment that comprise the Crew along with the quantity of each labor class and type of equipment. Equipment resources shall be shown for major or specialty equipment such as tower cranes, piledrivers, barges, asphalt pavers, concrete pavers, dozers, front end loaders, backhoes, rollers, excavators, graders, long line striping truck or other equipment that cannot be rented easily. Either of these alternatives may be supplemented with a request for a Contract Time Extension. The Contractor shall provide a reasonable plan for accomplishing the work of the contract within the current completion date, or to the requested contract extension date. The Engineer will use the Recovery Schedule to evaluate time extensions, with or without charges.
M. Submission of progress schedules with projected Early Completion date(s):The Contractor may indicate a projected early completion date on any progress schedule submission. Ifthe Contractor desires reimbursement for delay damages caused by the Department in accordance with§109-05D Time Related Dispute Compensation, related to an early completion date, the Contractor shall berequired to gain approval of a change to the contract completion date via a VECP in accordance with §104-10 Value Engineering Change Proposals of the Standard Specifications.If the VECP is approved by the Department, and the contract completion date is revised to the EarlyCompletion date via Change Order, then Standard Specification §108-03 will be superseded by thefollowing:
“If the Contractor fails to complete all contract work by the revised contract completion date, the Department may assess Engineering Charges but not Liquidated Damages for each calendar day that work on the project remains incomplete due to Contractor responsible delays, for the period of time after the revised contract completion date to the original contract completion date. The Department may further assess both Engineering Charges and Liquidated Damages, for each calendar day that work on the project remains incomplete due to Contractor responsible delays, for the period of time after the original contract completion date.”
Furthermore, the Contractor waives its rights to compensation under §109-05D Time Related Dispute Compensation of the Standard Specifications for the period of time between the revised early contract completion date and the original contract completion date, regardless of the cause(s) for delay, by any party, if the Contractor has not submitted and received Department approval for a VECP Early Completion date change.
N. FloatDuring the course of contract execution, Total Float generated due to the efficiencies of either party (Stateor Contractor) will be considered project Float that is not for the sole use of the party generating the float;rather it is a shared commodity to be reasonably used by either party. Any party assigned activityresponsibility within the schedule has the full use of the project Float until it is depleted.
The quantity shall be measured for payment on a Lump Sum basis. The minimum lump sum bid for this item shall be the unit price shown in the itemized proposal. Failure of the Contractor to bid at least the minimum amount will result in the Department adjusting the Contractor’s bid to include the minimum bid amount for this item.
BASIS OF PAYMENT: The lump sum price bid for CPM Progress Schedules shall include all labor, material, and equipment necessary to satisfactorily complete the work.
Progress payments will be made at 25 percent of the lump sum price bid upon acceptance of the Final Baseline Progress Schedule @ Award and the List of Submittals. 70 percent will be paid in subsequent contract payments, in proportion to the number of months remaining in the original contract duration, less any non-payment for substantial deficiencies. The remaining 5 percent will be paid upon acceptance of the As-Built Progress Schedule.
A. Non-Payment. No payment will be made for any Progress Schedule submitted more than twenty-onecalendar days late. For each calendar day during which there are substantial deficiencies with the ProgressSchedule no payment will be made. The amount of such non-payment will be 1/30th of the Monthly PaymentAmount multiplied by the number of days there are substantial deficiencies.
B. Liquidated Damages. Liquidated damages will be assessed for each subsequent calendar day or partthereof that a cited deficiency resulting in non-payment is not corrected or is permitted to recur. Liquidateddamages will be assessed at the rate equal to 1/10th of the Monthly Payment Amount.
If an extension of time without the assessment of engineering charges and/or liquidated damages is approved, additional payment for CPM Progress Schedules will be made for each month the contract is extended.
If an extension of time with the assessment of engineering charges and/or liquidated damages is approved, no additional payment will be made for CPM Progress Schedules.
Payment will be made under: Item No. Item Pay Unit 639.21010011 CPM (Critical Path Method) Progress Schedule – Type 2A LS 639.22010011 CPM (Critical Path Method) Progress Schedule – Type 2B LS 639.23010011 CPM (Critical Path Method) Progress Schedule – Type 2C LS

ITEM 691.03000020 – TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
EI 06-018 Page 1 of 8 USC 03/9/2009
DESCRIPTION This item of work shall consist of the meaningful and effective training of one or more apprentices/trainees leading to their qualification as journeyworkers in trades for the highway construction industry. The statutory authority for training requirements is described in §102-11 Equal Employment Opportunity Requirements. This specification establishes the specific requirements for a Contractor to provide training pursuant to 23 CFR 230.111 as part of Equal Employment Opportunity responsibilities. This specification, with referenced Standard Specifications, constitutes “Training Special Provisions” (TSP) pursuant to 23 CFR 230.111. The TSP supercedes any conflicting portions of Form FHWA 1273 Required Contract Provisions, Federal Aid Construction Contracts found in contract proposals.
MATERIALS None Specified.
CONSTRUCTION DETAILS
GENERAL. The objective of these training requirements is to provide training opportunities to minorities, women and disadvantaged persons for the following reasons:
1. To address the current under-representation of minorities and women in skilled trades, and; 2. To maintain a pool of qualified minorities, women and disadvantaged persons to compete for
those journeyworker positions which are created as others leave the workforce. Disadvantaged means a person who is either a) a member of a family that receives public assistance, or b) a member of a family whose income during the previous six (6) months, on an annualized basis, was such that the family qualified for public assistance, or whose income was at or below either the poverty level or 70% of the lower living standard income (LLSI) level for the person’s county of residence.
The Contractor shall make every effort to recruit and hire minority, women and disadvantaged apprentices/trainees to the extent that such persons are available within a reasonable area of recruitment. Such training commitment is not intended to, and shall not be used to, discriminate against any applicant for training, whether a member of a minority group or not. Apprentices/trainees shall be employed and offered meaningful and effective training opportunities. Meaningful and effective training is defined as occurring when contract work provides a realistic and practical opportunity of reasonable duration for the apprentice/trainee to complete elements of the apprenticeship/OJT program in order to achieve journeyworker status.
TRAINING PROGRAMS. In accordance with §102-10D Training, an apprentice is defined as an individual who is enrolled in an apprenticeship training program that is registered with the NYS Department of Labor, and a trainee is defined as an individual who is enrolled in an On-the-Job Training (OJT) program that is approved by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). NYSDOT administers the trainee training programs.
Although the terms apprentices and trainees are generally used interchangeably in this specification, in Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10 and 11, the Department will only approve the use of apprentices and apprenticeship training programs, where available, in fulfillment of these requirements. In Regions 6, 7 and 9, the Department will approve the use of either apprenticeship or FHWA approved OJT trainee programs.
Prospective bidders can obtain additional information about apprentice programs from the Director of Apprenticeship Training Programs, NYS Department of Labor, State Office Building Campus, Building 12, Rm 436, Albany, NY 12240 ; (518) 457-6820; fax (518) 457-7154; [email protected].

Approval to use a training program shall be obtained from the Department prior to commencing work involving the trade(s) covered by the program.
APPRENTICES/TRAINEES. Recruitment. The Contractor shall decide who is hired as an apprentice/trainee. Such apprentice/trainee shall be enrolled in a registered apprenticeship or OJT program approved by the Department and satisfy the requirements under Work History.
Prior to engaging in the recruitment of new apprentice/trainees, the Contractor shall employ apprentices/trainees who are partially trained, if available, in order to facilitate completion of their apprenticeship/OJT program. Training and upgrading of minorities and women toward journeyworker status is a primary objective of the TSP requirements.
The Contractor shall make every effort to enroll minority and women apprentice/trainees (e.g., by conducting systematic and direct recruitment through public and private sources likely to yield minority and women apprentice/trainees, such as the Department’s OJT supportive services program) to the extent that such persons are available within a reasonable area of recruitment. The Contractor will be responsible for demonstrating the steps that have been taken in pursuance thereof, prior to a determination as to whether the Contractor is in compliance with the TSP requirements.
Work History. The Contractor shall not propose or use any person under this item if such person has successfully completed a training program providing journeyworker status in the same trade or work classification as will be used for training under this contract. The Contractor shall not use or propose a person who has been gainfully employed as a journeyworker in that trade by virtue of informal on-the-job training or otherwise. The Contractor shall ascertain, before training a person and before requesting payment therefore, whether the person qualifies. The Contractor shall include appropriate questions on employee application forms and shall check the personal references of an applicant for a position in order to ensure that the person is qualified for training. The Contractor shall maintain records of these findings and provide them to the Department upon request.
Termination. An apprentice/trainee may be terminated at any time during training for: excessive absenteeism; lack of punctuality; accident-proneness; lack of interest; poor attitude; and continued failure to behave in a business-like manner. However, termination will not occur without: 1. Documented counseling by the Contractor's Trainer about the reason(s) for termination; and 2. Documented efforts by the Contractor's Trainer to resolve the problem; and 3. Documented notification to the Engineer and Regional Compliance Specialist about the problem; and 4. Written notification of intent to terminate to the Engineer and the Regional Compliance Specialist
stating the reason(s) therefore; and 5. An opportunity for Department representatives to discuss the impending termination with the
Contractor in order to ensure compliance with Steps 1 through 4 above. REQUIRED TRAINING EFFORT.

Full-Time Equivalents (FTEs). The number of apprentice/trainee full-time equivalents (FTEs) the Contractor is required to train is identified in Chart A. For the purposes of this specification, FTEs are used to designate the desired and expected level of training effort, in terms of full-time workers employed for the duration of the contract. Although the value of one FTE is not fixed, a general estimation of expected effort is approximately 1,000+ hours of work per construction season for upstate Regions and 2,000+ hours of work per construction season for downstate Regions. One FTE could be achieved with one individual working for the contract duration or with multiple individuals working full-time on a daily basis for portions of the contract duration so long as they are collectively employed for the equivalent amount of time as one full-time employee working for the entire duration of the contract. Accordingly, the Contractor may propose a different number of trainees/apprentices and a different duration of their training activities to achieve the required number of FTEs, but the proposal is subject to the approval of the Department. Affirmative Action (AA) Component. The affirmative action (AA) component identifies locations and trades with programmatic under-representation of minorities and/or females as journeyworkers. The Contractor shall provide the appropriate number of apprentices/trainees FTEs to fulfill the affirmative action (AA) requirements of this specification in the specified trade(s) and classification(s) (minority or female). The number of AA apprentice/trainee FTEs required are identified in Chart A and the required trade/classification targets for each NYSDOT Region are identified in Chart B.
Race/Gender Neutral (RGN) Component. The Contractor shall also provide the appropriate number of apprentices/trainees FTEs to fulfill the race/gender neutral (RGN) requirements in accordance with Chart A. The RGN component allows the Contractor to hire apprentices without imposed race, gender or specific trade requirements. Training shall be provided to anyone (minorities/non-minorities, males/females, and disadvantaged/non-disadvantaged persons) at the Contractor’s discretion.

ITEM 691.03000020 – TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
EI 06-018 Page 4 of 8 USC 03/9/2009
Although trades are not designated for the RGN apprentices/trainees, training should be provided in the construction trades rather than in clerical/administrative positions. Training is permissible, by Department authorized exception only, in lower level management positions such as office engineers, estimators, timekeepers, etc., where the training is oriented toward construction applications. On a voluntary basis, the Contractor has the option to help address areas with programmatic under-representations, by hiring the RGN apprentices/trainees to the designated areas outlined in Chart B – Affirmative Action Targets. Implementation and Distribution. The number of apprentices/trainees FTEs shall be distributed among the trades based upon the AA component requirements, maximum opportunity for work, required journeyworker/apprentice ratios outlined in the prevailing wage rate schedule, distribution of multiple persons among multiple trades, the Contractor’s needs and the availability of apprentices/trainees within a reasonable area of recruitment. When multiple apprentices/trainees are required, effort shall be made to hire apprentices/trainees whom are at a variety of different stages in their training programs (first year, third year, etc.) Where feasible, 25 percent of apprentices/trainees shall be in their first year of apprenticeship or training. The Contractor may allow apprentices/trainees to be trained by a subcontractor. However, the Contractor retains the primary responsibility to meet the TSP requirements and compensation is the same.
Compliance. A Contractor will have fulfilled the primary responsibilities under this Training Special Provision if acceptable training is provided to the number of apprentice/trainee FTEs specified or good faith efforts to attempt to provide the required training is demonstrated consistently throughout the duration of the contract. Training Coordinator. The Contractor shall designate one individual who will function as the training coordinator and act as the contact person for training related concerns. The training coordinator should be someone that has regular dealings and familiarity with the actual training direction and guidance being provided. As conditions and apprentices/trainees may change throughout the duration of the contract, notify the Department if at any point a new training coordinator is designated. TSP PROCESS. Prior to Letting. Bidders are advised that there are a number of procedural steps in the approval of a training (apprenticeship or OJT) program, including preparation of an application, review, and resolution of questions and comments. Approval of a training program is not guaranteed, and may take 30 to 60 days. It is highly recommended to have an approved apprenticeship or OJT trainee program prior to bidding. Within 7 Days After Letting. As a requirement of the contract award process, the apparent low bidder shall submit a TSP Letter to the Department within 7 work days after letting, signed and dated by an authorized company officer. A recommended form, which includes the mailing address, for the TSP Letter is available from the Department’s website at: https://www.nysdot.gov/main/business-center/contractors/construction-division/forms-manuals-computer-applications-general-information/civil-rights The minimum content requirements for the TSP Letter include:

At the Pre-Construction Meeting. The Contractor shall submit a conceptual plan for how they will fulfill the training requirements on the contract. They shall identify anticipated contract work suitable for apprentices/trainees, any timeline/scheduling issues, anticipated sources for apprentices/trainees, steps taken to date to comply with the training requirements, and how they will address the development of a training plan for each apprentice/trainee. Within 90 Days of Award. The Contractor shall submit a formalized training plan for each of the apprentices/trainees. All coordination with the Engineer and the Regional Compliance Specialist (RCS) regarding the training plan should be completed at this point. The training plan may be adjusted throughout the duration of the contract as necessary. Written requests to submit the plan, or portions of the plan, at a specified latter date will be considered depending on the reason for the request. The cost estimate shall be submitted within 90 calendar days of the contract award date regardless of whether or not the training plan is allowed to be submitted at a latter date. The minimum content requirements for the training plan(s) include:
• Name of the apprentice/trainee, trade, starting level (i.e., year of apprenticeship) and which TSP requirement (AA or RGN) the candidate is fulfilling.
• Apprentice/trainee projected start date, projected end date and the reason for ending the training (e.g., training program completed, no remaining training opportunities, contract completion, etc.).
• An outline of the training program requirements the candidate has already completed and the requirements which the candidate still has left to complete. Provide the associated number of hours for each requirement. List classroom and on-site training requirements separately.
• Total number of on-site (non-classroom) hours left to complete the training program. • Projection of the hours and components of the remaining training program requirements which
the candidate will be able to accomplish on the contract. • A cost estimate for compensation which shows how the amount was calculated. • Any known outside factors that might affect the training plan, such as if the apprentice/trainee
will be working on other contracts or there may be time constraints of the apprentice (ex., planned future reassignment, leave to attending school, moving/relocating, etc.).
• Copies of the NYSDOL Form AT 14 (blue book), or acceptable equivalent, for each apprentice shall be made available.
• A copy of NYSDOL form AT 401 – Apprenticeship Agreement/Documentation Form. Monthly Training Progress Report. The Contractor shall submit Form AAP 26 - Monthly Training Progress Report whenever an apprentice/trainee employed pursuant to this item begins work on a contract and monthly thereafter. In addition to each Monthly Training Progress Report, the Contractor shall provide the Engineer a summary of hours required to complete the various work elements of the training program, hours completed this period, and hours completed to date. This summary shall be provided in sufficient detail to allow the Engineer to determine whether the hours in the previous period are qualified hours under this pay item.

Periodic Auditing / End of Service. Periodically copies of the training program and the NYSDOL Form AT 14 (blue book) may be required for auditing purposes and verification of the training. Whenever an apprentice/trainee ceases to be employed on a contract, a copy of their NYSDOL Form AT 14 (blue book) shall be provided. WAIVER REQUEST. A request for a waiver of all or a portion of the TSP requirements may be submitted based on unusual circumstances which make the TSP requirements impractical or unduly burdensome to complete. The TSP requirements may be reduced or completely waived if the Contractor can clearly present a case for the TSP waiver (ex., no reasonable training opportunities will exist, lack of available apprentices/trainees, lack of available work for apprentices/trainees based on apprentice-to-journeyworker ratio restrictions). A TSP waiver request may be submitted at any point in the process after the contract letting date. TSP waiver requests made within 7 work days after contract letting may be submitted in lieu of the TSP Letter. The TSP waiver request should provide a detailed explanation for the request, steps taken to try to comply, and contact person information (name, telephone number, E-mail address). If the TSP waiver request is for elimination of all apprentice/trainee requirements and the TSP waiver is approved, no further TSP submissions are required. If the TSP waiver request is for a reduction or an alteration to the requirements and it is approved the Contractor shall submit a TSP Letter with the authorized revisions within 3 work days of notification of the TSP waiver request being approved. In the event that a TSP waiver request is not approved, the Contractor shall submit a TSP Letter within 3 work days of notification of the TSP waiver request being declined. The pre-award review of the TSP waiver request will focus on the apparent low bidder’s good faith efforts to comply with these requirements, and will not eliminate the detailed review process of the contractor’s workforce planning efforts and TSP compliance efforts after contract award. TSP waivers are not necessarily permanent, particularly if based on available workforce reasons. Throughout the contract duration, the Contractor shall continue to try to meet the original requirements under this pay item. Whenever there are changes in the construction schedule, scope of work, availability of apprentices/trainees, or any other factor that might affect the ability to hire apprentices/trainees to reasonable training opportunities, any TSP waivers shall be reevaluated. The Contractor is required to bring any such factors to the attention of the Department in a timely manner. TRAINING DURATION. Start-Up. An apprentice/trainee shall begin training as soon as feasible in trade related work and remain on the contract as long as training opportunities exist in the trade, until completion of the training program or until completion of the contract. After approval of an apprentice/trainee, the individual shall be employed in the designated trade in accordance with the currently approved Form AAP 35 Workforce Participation Plan to the extent that training opportunities exist in the contract work. At the time an apprentice/trainee reports to the Contractor for training under this item, the Training Coordinator shall notify the Engineer to ensure that appropriate records are kept.

ITEM 691.03000020 – TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
EI 06-018 Page 7 of 8 USC 03/9/2009
Throughout Contract Duration. The Contractor is expected to provide maximum opportunity to the apprentice/trainee for completion of their apprenticeship/OJT program. The Contractor shall monitor the apprentice/trainee's progress, paying particular attention to completion of work elements within the training program. When a work element of the training program is completed, the Contractor shall rotate the apprentice/trainee to other work processes to the extent that training opportunities exist. Should no such training opportunities exist, the apprentice/trainee may continue to work as long as there is work. However any work not in the training program or beyond the number of hours indicated in the training program for each work element will not qualify for payment under this pay item. This continued work will not make the apprentice/trainee ineligible for continued future training in the trade. Retention. The Contractor is expected to retain, as a journeyworker, an apprentice/trainee that completes their training program and attains journeyworker status prior to contract completion, provided there is contract work remaining. Continued work by a journeyworker will not qualify for payment under this item. Maintaining Compliance with the FTE Requirement. The Contactor is responsible for maintaining compliance with the required number of apprentice/trainee FTEs for the duration of the contract. If the number of employed TSP apprentice/trainee FTEs falls below the required number (e.g., apprentice/trainee attains journeyworker status, leave the contract, etc.) and there are substantial training opportunities remaining, the Contractor is required to make every effort to recruit and hire additional apprentices/trainees. Although, consideration to waive the remaining training requirements will be given when there is limited contract work remaining or when, due to the retention of TSP apprentices/trainees who have reached journeyworker status, available employment opportunities are limited. If at any point during the contract the amount of training being accomplished is significantly below the projected amount stated in the training plan(s), the Contractor is required to adjust their training efforts such that the approved number of hours of training in the training plan(s) is achieved by contract completion. COMPENSATION. This specification provides for partial compensation to the contractor towards the cost of managing and operating the training program(s). Compensation is not intended as reimbursement towards the apprentices’ wages, but rather as general compensation for administrating the training program along with the loss of productivity on the behalf of the journeyworker(s) providing the training, guidance and supervision. A combined negotiated amount for partial compensation of all the TSP apprenticeship/OJT programs will be added to the contract by order-on-contract. During the contract duration, revisions to the training plan(s) can be submitted. If a revised training plan, including the cost estimate, is approved then the previously negotiated amount can be adjusted by order-on-contract. The Contractor shall attach to each Form AAP 26 Monthly Training Progress Report, a monthly summary of hours of qualifying training for each apprentice/trainee that shows the number of hours trained each day of the progress period by training program work element. Only training hours verified and approved of by the Engineer or his designee will be considered as qualifying training. Any hours of work performed which are not in the training program or are beyond the number of hours indicated for each work element in the training program will not qualify for payment under this pay item. Off-site training or training performed at other work sites does not qualify for compensation. Classroom training hours do not qualify for compensation.

The total verified hours of training provided during the month will be used to determine the monthly payment due. Regardless of the amount approved for the pay item, payments will be made only for the number qualifying hours of training accomplished. Payment for training under the affirmative action component of this specification is contingent upon the Contractor fulfilling or demonstrating satisfactory good faith efforts to fulfill the corresponding equal employment opportunity (EEO) goals in accordance with §102-11 Equal Employment Opportunity Requirements. [Example Situation #1 - For contracts with a minority EEO goal and a female EEO goal: If achieve the minority EEO goal but not the female EEO goal, then compensation may still be allowed for a minority TSP AA apprentice/trainee but not for a female TSP AA apprentice/trainee. Example Situation #2 - For contracts with trade specific minority/female EEO goals (i.e., applicable in New York City): If achieve the minority equipment operator EEO goal but not the minority iron worker EEO goal, then compensation may still be allowed for a minority equipment operator TSP AA apprentice/trainee but not for a minority iron worker TSP AA apprentice/trainee.] Any apprentices/trainees hired towards attempting to attain fulfillment of the EEO goals do not qualify for payment under this specification nor are they considered as TSP apprentices/trainees (i.e., still required to hire additional apprentices/trainees under this specification’s requirements). Payment for training under the race/gender neutral component of this specification is contingent upon the Contractor fulfilling or demonstrating satisfactory good faith efforts to fulfill all of the equal employment opportunity (EEO) goals in accordance with §102-11 Equal Employment Opportunity Requirements and fulfilling or demonstrating satisfactory good faith efforts to fulfill the affirmative action component. METHOD OF MEASUREMENT This work will be measured on a Dollars-Cents basis. The amount shown in the proposal is not to be altered in any manner by the bidder. Should the bidder alter the amount shown, the altered figure will be disregarded, and the original price will be used to determine the total amount bid.
BASIS OF PAYMENT Compensation towards the training program for each apprentice/trainee will be made as such:
= (0.35) x (Base Journeyworker Prevailing Wage Rate) x (Hours of Qualifying Training Accomplished)
No adjustments to the base rate shall be allowed, such as for: fringes/supplemental benefits, premium rates (overtime, holiday, etc.), worker’s compensation insurance, FICA, state or federal unemployment insurance, commercial general liability (CGL) insurance, etc. When determining compensation, use the prevailing wage rate that was current at the time the training was provided. Qualified training time will include only verified training properly completed and accounted for, including only those hours the apprentice/trainee is actually receiving on-site training in the work elements included in his/her approved apprenticeship/OJT program. Off-site or related classroom training will not be considered as qualifying training time under this item.

================================================================ Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year. Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.
Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).
The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of ""identifiers"" that indicate whether the particular
rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate).
Union Rate Identifiers
A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than ""SU"" or ""UAVG"" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example: PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014.
Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate.
Survey Rate Identifiers
Classifications listed under the ""SU"" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.
Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted.
Union Average Rate Identifiers
Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in
the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.
A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based.
1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:
* an existing published wage determination * a survey underlying a wage determination * a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter * a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling
On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.) and 3.) should be followed.
With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:
Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210
2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:
Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210
The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.
3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:
Administrative Review Board U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210
4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.

General Provisions of Laws Covering Workers on Article 8 Public Work Contracts Introduction The Labor Law requires public work contractors and subcontractors to pay laborers, workers, or mechanics employed inthe performance of a public work contract not less than the prevailing rate of wage and supplements (fringe benefits) in thelocality where the work is performed. Responsibilities of the Department of Jurisdiction A Department of Jurisdiction (Contracting Agency) includes a state department, agency, board or commission: a county,city, town or village; a school district, board of education or board of cooperative educational services; a sewer, water, fire,improvement and other district corporation; a public benefit corporation; and a public authority awarding a public workcontract. The Department of Jurisdiction (Contracting Agency) awarding a public work contract MUST obtain a Prevailing RateSchedule listing the hourly rates of wages and supplements due the workers to be employed on a public work project.This schedule may be obtained by completing and forwarding a "Request for wage and Supplement Information" form (PW39) to the Bureau of Public Work. The Prevailing Rate Schedule MUST be included in the specifications for the contract tobe awarded and is deemed part of the public work contract. Upon the awarding of the contract, the law requires that the Department of Jurisdiction (Contracting Agency) furnish thefollowing information to the Bureau: the name and address of the contractor, the date the contract was let and theapproximate dollar value of the contract. To facilitate compliance with this provision of the Labor Law, a copy of theDepartment's "Notice of Contract Award" form (PW 16) is provided with the original Prevailing Rate Schedule. The Department of Jurisdiction (Contracting Agency) is required to notify the Bureau of the completion or cancellation ofany public work project. The Department's PW 200 form is provided for that purpose. Both the PW 16 and PW 200 forms are available for completion online. Hours No laborer, worker, or mechanic in the employ of a contractor or subcontractor engaged in the performance of any publicwork project shall be permitted to work more than eight hours in any day or more than five days in any week, except incases of extraordinary emergency. The contractor and the Department of Jurisdiction (Contracting Agency) may apply tothe Bureau of Public Work for a dispensation permitting workers to work additional hours or days per week on a particularpublic work project. There are very few exceptions to this rule. Complete information regarding these exceptions is available on the "Requestfor a dispensation to work overtime" form (PW30) and "4 Day / 10 Hour Work Schedule" form (PW 30.1). Wages and Supplements The wages and supplements to be paid and/or provided to laborers, workers, and mechanics employed on a public workproject shall be not less than those listed in the current Prevailing Rate Schedule for the locality where the work isperformed. If a prime contractor on a public work project has not been provided with a Prevailing Rate Schedule, thecontractor must notify the Department of Jurisdiction (Contracting Agency) who in turn must request an original PrevailingRate Schedule form the Bureau of Public Work. Requests may be submitted by: mail to NYSDOL, Bureau of Public Work,State Office Bldg. Campus, Bldg. 12, Rm. 130, Albany, NY 12240; Fax to Bureau of Public Work (518) 485-1870; orelectronically at the NYSDOL website www.labor.ny.gov. Upon receiving the original schedule, the Department of Jurisdiction (Contracting Agency) is REQUIRED to providecomplete copies to all prime contractors who in turn MUST, by law, provide copies of all applicable county schedules toeach subcontractor and obtain from each subcontractor, an affidavit certifying such schedules were received.

Introduction to the Prevailing Rate Schedule
Information About Prevailing Rate Schedule This information is provided to assist you in the interpretation of particular requirements for each classification of worker contained in theattached Schedule of Prevailing Rates.
Classification It is the duty of the Commissioner of Labor to make the proper classification of workers taking into account whether the work is heavy andhighway, building, sewer and water, tunnel work, or residential, and to make a determination of wages and supplements to be paid orprovided. It is the responsibility of the public work contractor to use the proper rate. If there is a question on the proper classification to beused, please call the district office located nearest the project. District office locations and phone numbers are listed below. Prevailing Wage Schedules are issued separately for "General Construction Projects" and "Residential Construction Projects" on a county-by-county basis. General Construction Rates apply to projects such as: Buildings, Heavy & Highway, and Tunnel and Water & Sewer rates. Residential Construction Rates generally apply to construction, reconstruction, repair, alteration, or demolition of one family, two family, rowhousing, or rental type units intended for residential use. Some rates listed in the Residential Construction Rate Schedule have a very limited applicability listed along with the rate. Rates foroccupations or locations not shown on the residential schedule must be obtained from the General Construction Rate Schedule. Pleasecontact the local Bureau of Public Work office before using Residential Rate Schedules, to ensure that the project meets the required criteria. Payrolls and Payroll Records Contractors and subcontractors are required to establish, maintain, and preserve for not less that six (6) years, contemporaneous, true, andaccurate payroll records. Every contractor and subcontractor shall submit to the Department of Jurisdiction (Contracting Agency), within thirty (30) days after issuanceof its first payroll and every thirty (30) days thereafter, a transcript of the original payrolls, subscribed and affirmed as true under penalty ofperjury.
Paid Holidays Paid Holidays are days for which an eligible employee receives a regular day's pay, but is not required to perform work. If an employeeworks on a day listed as a paid holiday, this remuneration is in addition to payment of the required prevailing rate for the work actuallyperformed.
Overtime At a minimum, all work performed on a public work project in excess of eight hours in any one day or more than five days in any workweek isovertime. However, the specific overtime requirements for each trade or occupation on a public work project may differ. Specific overtimerequirements for each trade or occupation are contained in the prevailing rate schedules. Overtime holiday pay is the premium pay that is required for work performed on specified holidays. It is only required where the employeeactually performs work on such holidays. The applicable holidays are listed under HOLIDAYS: OVERTIME. The required rate of pay for these covered holidays can be found in theOVERTIME PAY section listings for each classification.
Supplemental Benefits Particular attention should be given to the supplemental benefit requirements. Although in most cases the payment or provision ofsupplements is straight time for all hours worked, some classifications require the payment or provision of supplements, or a portion of thesupplements, to be paid or provided at a premium rate for premium hours worked. Supplements may also be required to be paid or providedon paid holidays, regardless of whether the day is worked. The Overtime Codes and Notes listed on the particular wage classification willindicate these conditions as required.
Effective Dates When you review the schedule for a particular occupation, your attention should be directed to the dates above the column of rates. Theseare the dates for which a given set of rates is effective. The rate listed is valid until the next effective rate change or until the new annualdetermination which takes effect on July 1 of each year. All contractors and subcontractors are required to pay the current prevailing ratesof wages and supplements. If you have any questions please contact the Bureau of Public Work or visit the New York State Department ofLabor website (www.labor.ny.gov) for current wage rate information.
Apprentice Training Ratios The following are the allowable ratios of registered Apprentices to Journey-workers. For example, the ratio 1:1,1:3 indicates the allowable initial ratio is one Apprentice to one Journeyworker. The Journeyworker must be inplace on the project before an Apprentice is allowed. Then three additional Journeyworkers are needed before a second Apprentice isallowed. The last ratio repeats indefinitely. Therefore, three more Journeyworkers must be present before a third Apprentice can be hired,and so on. Please call Apprentice Training Central Office at (518) 457-6820 if you have any questions.
