St. Cloud State University Elevator Maintenance RFP Page 45


ARTICLE 1. SCOPE OF THE WORK

state of Minnesota, or of [Insert the Name of the College/University where the Work will be performed.] shall
be personally liable or responsible in any manner to CONTRACTOR, Subcontractors, material men, laborers,
or to any other person whomsoever, for any claims, demands, actions, or causes of action of any kind or
character arising out of or by reason of the execution of this AGREEMENT or the performance and completion
of said Work.

ARTICLE 5. LABOR STANDARDS AND WAGES

This project is subject to Minnesota Labor Standards and Wages requirements of Minnesota Statutes Chapter
177.

Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 177.41 to 177.44 and corresponding Rules 5200.1000 to 5200.1120, this project
contract is subject to the prevailing wages as established by the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry.
Specifically, all contractors and subcontractors must pay all laborers and mechanics the established prevailing
wages for work performed under the contract. Failure to comply with the aforementioned may result in civil or
criminal penalties.

St. Cloud State University Elevator Maintenance RFP Page 46


Rev. 7/1/09 Page 2 of 6
For more information regarding prevailing wage and its application, contact:
Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry

St. Paul, MN 55155
Phone: (651) 284-5091
E-mail: dli.prevwage@state.mn.us
Web: www.dli.mn.gov

Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 177.43, Subd. 3, all contractors and subcontractors shall submit to the
Owner’s contracting entity copies of payrolls that contain all the data required by Minnesota Statutes §177.30.
Contractors and subcontractors shall use Form MnSCU073 for this purpose.

Hours of labor
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 177.43:
(1) no laborer or mechanic employed directly on the project work site by the contractor or any subcontractor,
agent, or other person doing or contracting to do all or a part of the work of the project, is permitted or required
to work more hours than the prevailing hours of labor unless paid for all hours in excess of the prevailing hours
at a rate of at least 1-1/2 times the hourly basic rate of pay; and
(2) a laborer or mechanic may not be paid a lesser rate of wages than the prevailing wage rate in the same or
most similar trade or occupation in the area.

Exceptions
This requirement does not apply to wage rates and hours of employment of laborers or mechanics who process
or manufacture materials or products or to the delivery of materials or products by or for commercial
establishments which have a fixed place of business from which they regularly supply processed or
manufactured materials or products. This section applies to laborers or mechanics who deliver mineral
aggregate such as sand, gravel, or stone which is incorporated into the work under the contract by depositing the
material substantially in place, directly or through spreaders, from the transporting vehicle.

Posting
The prevailing wage rates, prevailing hours of labor, and hourly basic rates of pay for all trades and occupations
required in any project must be ascertained before the state asks for bids. Each contractor and subcontractor
performing work on a public project shall keep the information posted on the project in at least one conspicuous
place for the information of the employees working on the project.

Penalty
It is a misdemeanor for an officer or employee of the state to execute a contract for a project without complying
with this section, or for a contractor, subcontractor, or agent to pay any laborer, worker, or mechanic employed
directly on the project site a lesser wage for work done under the contract than the prevailing wage rate as stated
in the contract. This misdemeanor is punishable by a fine of not more than $700, or imprisonment for not more
than 90 days, or both. Each agent or subcontractor shall furnish to the contractor evidence of compliance with
this section. Each day a violation of this section continues is a separate offense.

Examination of records; investigation


The Department of Labor and Industry shall enforce this section. The department may demand, and the
contractor and subcontractor shall furnish to the department, copies of any or all payrolls. The department may
examine all records relating to wages paid laborers or mechanics on work to which sections 177.41 to 177.44
apply.

St. Cloud State University Elevator Maintenance RFP Page 47


Rev. 7/1/09 Page 3 of 6
The Contractor and subcontractors shall comply with Minnesota Statutes 177.41-.44. To facilitate compliance
pursuant to the Statute, wage determinations (prevailing wages) were prepared for different trades for each
county from which labor for said project would be secured and are included and published in the Contract
Specifications. Any wage determinations that are found not to be so promulgated do not relieve the Contractor
from any responsibility for paying the prevailing wage rate of the trade in question. Additional classifications
may develop between certifications by the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry. Therefore, no
inference may be drawn from the omission of a classification which has local usage.

Prevailing wage violations


Upon issuing a compliance order to an employer pursuant to section 177.27, subdivision 4, for violation of
sections 177.41 to 177.44, the commissioner shall issue a withholding order to the contracting authority
ordering the contracting authority to withhold payment of sufficient sum to the prime or general contractor on
the project to satisfy the back wages assessed or otherwise cure the violation, and the contracting authority must
withhold the sum ordered until the compliance order has become a final order of the commissioner and has been
fully paid or otherwise resolved by the employer.

During an investigation of a violation of sections 177.41 to 177.44 which the commissioner reasonably
determines is likely to result in the finding of a violation of sections 177.41 to 177.44 and the issuance of a
compliance order pursuant to section 177.27, subdivision 4, the commissioner may notify the contracting
authority of the determination and the amount expected to be assessed and the contracting authority shall give
the commissioner 90 days' prior notice of the date the contracting authority intends to make final payment.

Keeping Records; Penalty:


A. Every employer subject to Minnesota Statutes Section 177.21 to 177.44 must make and keep a
record of:
(1) the name, address, and occupation of each employee;
(2) the rate of pay, and the amount paid each pay period to each employee;
(3) the hours worked each day and each workweek by the employee;
(4) for each employer subject to sections 177.41 to 177.44, and while performing work on public
works projects funded in whole or in part with state funds, the employer shall furnish under oath
signed by an owner or officer of an employer to the contracting authority and the project owner
every two weeks, a certified payroll report with respect to the wages and benefits paid each
employee during the preceding weeks specifying for each employee: name; identifying number;
prevailing wage master job classification; hours worked each day; total hours; rate of pay; gross
amount earned; each deduction for taxes; total deductions; net pay for week; dollars contributed
per hour for each benefit, including name and address of administrator; benefit account number;
and telephone number for health and welfare, vacation or holiday, apprenticeship training,
pension, and other benefit programs; and
(5) other information the commissioner finds necessary and appropriate to enforce sections
177.21 to 177.435. The records must be kept for three years in or near the premises where an
employee works except each employer subject to sections 177.41 to 177.44, and while
performing work on public works projects funded in whole or in part with state funds, the
records must be kept for three years after the contracting authority has made final payment on the
public works project.
B. The commissioner may fine an employer up to $1,000 for each failure to maintain records as
required by this section. This penalty is in addition to any penalties provided under section 177.32,
subdivision 1. In determining the amount of a civil penalty under this subdivision, the appropriateness of
such penalty to the size of the employer’s business and the gravity of the violation shall be considered.

Rev. 7/1/09 Page 4 of 6
ARTICLE 6. AUDITS

Pursuant to Minnesota Statues, Section 16C.05, subdivision 5, all books, records, documents, and accounting
procedures and practices of CONTRACTOR relevant to this AGREEMENT are subject to examination by
MnSCU and the legislative auditor or the state auditor, as appropriate.

ARTICLE 7. AFFIDAVIT FOR OBTAINING FINAL SETTLEMENT

CONTRACTOR and all of its Subcontractors shall comply with Minnesota Statutes, Section 290.92. It is
distinctly understood and agreed that, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 290.97, MnSCU will not issue
final payment to CONTRACTOR prior to receipt of a “Withholding Affidavit for Contractors”, Form IC134,
from CONTRACTOR and from each of CONTRACTOR’s Subcontractors. The Minnesota Department of
Revenue must sign the Forms IC134 prior to being submitted to MnSCU. It shall be the responsibility of
CONTRACTOR to ensure that all of the Affidavits herein required are submitted to MnSCU.

ARTICLE 8. PAYMENTS TO SUBCONTRACTORS

A. Prompt Payment: In accordance with Minnesota Statutes 16A.1245


CONTRACTOR shall, within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of a progress payment, pay all Subcontractors
and suppliers having an interest in the Contract their prorata share of the payment for all undisputed services
provided by the Subcontractors.

If CONTRACTOR does not pay any Subcontractor or supplier on time, CONTRACTOR shall pay
interest of 1-1/2% per month or any part of a month. The minimum monthly interest penalty payment for an
unpaid balance of $100.00 or more is $10.00. For an unpaid balance of less than $100.00, CONTRACTOR shall
pay the actual penalty due the Subcontractor. Any Subcontractor who prevails in a civil action to collect interest
penalties from CONTRACTOR shall be awarded its costs and disbursements, including attorney’s fees incurred
in bringing the action.

B. Retainage: CONTRACTOR may withhold payment as retainage from Subcontractors’ progress


payments in an amount not to exceed five (5) percent of the payment. CONTRACTOR shall reduce or eliminate
the retainage for a Subcontractor in the same manner that MnSCU reduces or eliminates the retainage for
CONTRACTOR.

C. Enforcement: The enforcement of these conditions shall be the responsibility of the Subcontractors
working through CONTRACTOR. If CONTRACTOR is required to provide a Performance and Payment Bond
for the AGREEMENT, then the enforcement of these conditions shall be the responsibility of the
Subcontractors working through CONTRACTOR and CONTRACTOR’s Surety. To facilitate the resolution of
any problems relating to these provisions, CONTRACTOR shall furnish the Subcontractors with the name,
address, and telephone number of CONTRACTOR’s Surety within ten (10) calendar days of the date on which
CONTRACTOR signs the AGREEMENT.

ARTICLE 9. EFFECTIVE DATE OF AGREEMENT

This AGREEMENT shall become binding upon the parties when MnSCU issues a written Notice to Proceed.
