To remove the existing AHUs (11) located in the associated mechanical rooms and replace with new AHU’s, including all cabinets, dampers, ducts, coils, filter racks, piping, controls, motors and electrical connections.

The fresh air make up duct (outside air) and damper on AHUs 15.1, 21.1, 21.2, 22.1, 31.1, and 32.1 shall be replaced in their entirety with like sized ducts following the same route and with a new makeup air damper installed in approximately the same location using the same controls and actuator as the existing makeup air damper.

The supply and return ducts shall be replaced only far enough to transition

correctly to the new AHUs; all transitions shall be connected to the existing duct with a flexible connector such as the canvas type connector.

The new AHUs shall include “face and bypass” dampers to match the unit being

replaced. The existing actuators and controls may be reused. On AHUs 12.1, 13.1, 14.1, 21.1, 22.1, 23.1 and 32.1 all chilled water control valves, supply pipes and return pipes can be reused, any new piping shall be determined by and if the location of the supply and return piping connectors on the new AHUs are different from the AHU they are replacing. AHUs 15.1, 22.1, 31.1, and 32.1 shall need the chilled water control valve replaced (the new valves will be controlled by the existing controls) along with piping them to match the new AHU.

All condensate drain lines shall be replaced.

All electrical disconnects are in good working order, the heaters in the starters shall be matched to the new motor requirements. Wiring and conduit shall be needed to connect to the new AHU from the disconnect. The climate control system associated with each AHU’s zone should be down approximately seven days or less. The complete replacement of each AHU should be

completed within fourteen (14) days of the start date of installation of the temporary unit for service. All Work Safety procedures are to be in accordance with the COE Safety and Health Requirements Manual (EM 385-1-1) with all APP and AHAs reviewed and accepted by the MCAS Cherry Point ROICC contracting organization designated representative.

The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular rate is union or non‐union. Union Identifiers An identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" denotes that the union classification and rate have found to be prevailing for that classification. Example: PLUM0198‐005 07/01/2011. The first four letters , PLUM, indicate the international union and the four‐digit number, 0198, that follows 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. The date, 07/01/2011, following these characters is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate/collective bargaining agreement which would be July 1, 2011 in the above example. Union prevailing wage rates will be updated to reflect any changes in the collective bargaining agreements governing the rate. Non‐Union Identifiers Classifications listed under an "SU" identifier were derived from survey data by computing average rates and are not union rates; however, the data used in computing these rates may include both union and non‐union data. Example: SULA2004‐007 5/13/2010. SU indicates the rates are not union rates, LA indicates the State of Louisiana; 2004 is the year of the survey; and 007 is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. A 1993 or later date, 5/13/2010, indicates the classifications and rates under that identifier were issued as a General Wage Determination on that date. Survey wage rates will remain in effect and will not change until a new survey is conducted. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS 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. ================================================================ END OF GENERAL DECISION
