Labor Information In the selection of labor, the Contractor may avail itself of the services of the Minnesota State Employment Service. Minimum Wage Rates The minimum hourly rates of wages required to be paid to the various laborers and mechanics employed by the Contractor and the sub-contractors in the construction work on the contract shall be an amount equal to the sum of the basic hourly wage rate plus applicable fringe benefits as certified by the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry for State Funded Construction Projects for the appropriate contract area. These rates have been determined by the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry pursuant to the provisions set forth in Minnesota Statutes, Section If no wage schedule is contained in the Contract, it is the responsibility of the Contractor to obtain a copy from the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry prior to bidding. From the time an hourly employee is required to report for duty at the site of the work until he/she is released or allowed to leave the site of the work, no deduction shall be made from his/her time for any delays of less than thirty consecutive minutes. In the event the Contractor or subcontractor employs apprentice workers under the occupational training program of the State of Minnesota, Department of Education, or under the Division of Voluntary Apprenticeship of the State of Minnesota, Department of Labor and Industry, or under the U.

Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, the Contractor may pay wages to such apprentice workers at hourly rates approved by the appropriate agency despite the hourly rates specified in the schedule of wage rates to be paid to any classification of labor.

All cash payments due to mechanics and laborers employed or working upon the site of the work shall be paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and without subsequent deductions or rebate on any account despite any contractual relationship that may be alleged to exist between the Contractor or subcontractor and such laborers and mechanics. The wage schedule and appropriate posters (e.g. MnDOT poster TP (5-03)) shall be kept posted by the Contractor at the site of the work in a conspicuous place where it can be easily seen by the workers. The County of Hennepin may withhold or cause to be withheld from the Contractor part of the amount due to the Contractor as may be considered necessary to ensure payment to laborers and mechanics employed by the Contractor or any subcontractor on the work the full amount of the minimum hourly rates required by the contract. In the event it is determined that the successful bidder or any of its subcontractors have failed to comply with the prevailing wage rates established by said Department, the successful bidder shall pay to Hennepin County (or Hennepin County may withhold and keep monies due the successful bidder) as liquidated damages an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the contract amount.

46 NOTICE TO BIDDERS Minnesota Statutes that require prompt payment to subcontractors: Prompt payment of local government bills. Subd. 1. Definitions. For the purposes of this section, the following terms have the meanings here given them. (d) "Municipality" means any home rule charter or statutory city, county, town, school district, political subdivision or agency of local government. "Municipality" means the metropolitan council or any board or agency created under chapter 473. Subd. 4a. Prompt payment to subcontractors. Each contract of a municipality must require the prime contractor to pay any subcontractor within ten days of the prime contractor's receipt of payment from the municipality for undisputed services provided by the subcontractor. The contract must require the prime contractor to pay interest of 1-1/2 percent per month or any part of a month to the subcontractor on any undisputed amount not paid on time to the subcontractor. The minimum monthly interest penalty payment for an unpaid balance of $100 or more is $10. For an unpaid balance of less than $100, the prime contractor shall pay the actual penalty due to the subcontractor. A subcontractor who prevails in a civil action to collect interest penalties from a prime contractor must be awarded its costs and disbursements, including attorney's fees, incurred in bringing the action.

110 SALT Schedule of Materials Control - Local Government Agency This Schedule of Materials Control (SMC) outlines the minimum testing requirements for State Aid Funded and/or Federal Aid Projects off the National Highway and Trunk Highway System. Optional to this SMC is the MnDOT Materials Control Schedule. Usage of either schedule must be defined in the project proposal SAMPLING AND TESTING - INSERT INTO SPECIAL PROVISIONS The first paragraph is hereby deleted and replaced with the following: Sampling and testing of materials for this project will be in accordance with the State Aid for Local Transportation (SALT) Schedule of Materials Control Local Government Agency (SMC-LGA). The SMC-LGA establishes the size of samples and the minimum rate of testing. The SMC-LGA references the 2014 MnDOT Standard Specifications for Construction and does not set contract requirements for the material. The SMC - LGA serves as a guide for material testing with allowable acceptance "as directed by the Engineer" detailed in Specification (1) - Authority of the Engineer. These testing rates are a minimum and additional tests may be taken at the Engineer's discretion. A minimal testing rate does not always ensure a quality product; field observations and attention to detail is crucial. Materials not listed on an approved products list may be sampled and tested as directed by the Engineer. Materials listed on a Qualified Products list may be accepted or tested at the discretion of the Engineer. Federal Aid projects require Independent Assurance Inspection. Contact the MnDOT District IA Inspector when the job starts to provide the proper servicing of your project. Definitions SALT Construction Website MnDOT Office of State Aid for Local Transportation. The SMC - LGA is located at the construction page under "Information & Resources - Manuals". MnDOT Schedule of Materials Control Schedule of Materials Control (SMC) are inserted into project proposals to direct how materials are to be sampled. The SMC is updated yearly. Each SMC is project specific. Therefore, one needs to refer to their specific proposal. Approved Products List Products are 'approved' when they have been found to routinely meet all applicable standards and specifications. The product is placed on the list based upon established successful manufacturer's quality control and warranties, but the listing may expire or require periodic renewal to verify the product has not changed over time. The approval process for the individual product should specify any expiration requirement. Qualified Products List Products are predicted to meet all applicable standards and specifications, but random sample testing is required to verify specific product lots meet specifications prior to usage. These products are generally considered to be "qualified" but not approved until tested for compliance. Successfully tested products lots are considered to be "approved". The approval process for the individual product should specify any further testing requirements for the product. Certified Sources Certified Sources must comply with each individual product's defined "certification procedure". Acceptance of products from certified sources follows the same sampling and testing as "qualified" products. January 2014
