VIII -4
8. Contract Termination. (For contracts in excess of $10,000.) This
contract may be terminated by the Sponsor for default or any
other conditions or circumstances beyond the control of the Con-
tractor. Termination conditions, the manner by which it will
be effected and the basis for settlement are as follows:
"In the event that the Sponsor is prohibited from completing the
project because of conditions or circumstances beyond the control
of either the Sponsor or the Contractor such as, but not limited
to, an Executive Order of the President with respect to the prose-
cution of war or in the interest of national defense or an order
of any State or Federal Court permanently prohibiting the con-
struction of the project, the Sponsor, acting by and through its
Airport Manager, may terminate the Contract or portion thereof
by giving at least ten (10) days' written notice thereof to the
Contractor.
When the Contract, or any portion thereof, is terminated before
completion of all items of work in the Contract, payment will
be made for the actual number of units or items of work com-
pleted at the Contract price. On items or units which are only
partially completed, payment will be made in proportion that
the completed work as determined by the Engineer in his sole
and absolute discretion, bears to the total bid price. Acceptable
materials, obtained or ordered in the work at the time of such
termination, shall at the option of the Sponsor be purchased from
the Contractor at actual cost as shown by receipted bills and
actual cost records at the point of delivery.
The intent of this provision is to provide a method of equitable
settlement with the Contractor in the event of termination of
the Contract because of conditions or circumstances beyond the
control of either party. Loss of anticipated profits shall not be
considered. It is also the intent of this provision that a settlement
for the work performed shall not relieve the Contractor or his
surety from responsibility for defective work and/or materials
on the completed portion of the work, nor for labor and materials
as expressed in the surety bond or bonds. The Manager or his
authorized representatives shall be given full access to all books,
correspondence and papers of the Contractor relating to this
Contract in order to determine the amounts to be paid on account
of'the termination of the Contract."
9. Rights to Inventions - Materials. (For contracts or agreements
involving imported products, processes, methods, etc.) All rights
to inventions and materials generated under this contract are
subject to regulations issued by the FAA and the recipient of
the Federal grant under which this contract is executed. Infor-
mation regarding these rights is available from the FAA and the
Sponsor.
VIII -5
C. Access to Documents, Records, etc.
1. For All Cost -reimbursement type of contracts.
The Sponsor, the Administrator of the FAA and the Comptroller
General of the United States or an authorized representative
of either shall be allowed access to the Contractor's records which
are pertinent to the contract for the purpose of accounting and
audit.
2. For All Negotiated Contracts in Excess of $10,000.
The Sponsor, the FAA, the Comptroller General of the United States,
or any of their duly authorized representatives, shall be allowed
access to any books, documents, papers and records of the Contrac-
tor which are directly pertinent to an ADAP project(s) for the pur-
pose of making audit, examination, excerpts and transcriptions.
D. Labor Contract Clauses for All Construction Contracts and Subcontracts
Excess of $2,000.
1. Minimum Wages.
a. All mechanics and laborers employed or working upon the
site of the work will be paid unconditionally and not less
often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction
or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions
as are permitted by regulations issued by the Secretary
of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR Part 3), the full
amounts due at time of payment computed at wage rates
not less than those contained in the wage determination
decision(s) of the Secretary of Labor which is (are) attached
hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual
relationship which may be alleged to exist between the Con-
tractor and such laborers and mechanics; and the wage deter-
mination decision(s) shall be posted by the Contractor at
the site of the work in a prominent place where it (they)
can be easily seen by the workers. For the purpose of this
paragraph, contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated
under section 1 (b) (2) of the Davis -Bacon Act on behalf of
laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such labor-
ers or mechanics, subject to the provision of subparagraph d
below. Also for the purpose of this paragraph, regular contri-
butions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period
under plans funds, or programs, but covering the particular
weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or
incurred during such weekly period. (29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(i)).
VIII -6
b. Any class of laborers or mechanics, including apprentices
and trainees, which is not listed in the wage determinations)
and which is to be employed under the contract, shall be
classified or reclassified conformably to the wage determi-
nation(s), and a report of the action taken shall be sent by
the Sponsor to the FAA for approval and transmittal to the
Secretary of Labor. In the event the interested parties cannot
agree on the proper classification or reclassification of a
particular class of laborers and mechanics, including appren-
tices and trainees, to be used, the question accompanied by
the recommendation of the FAA shall be referred to the Secre-
tary of Labor for final determination. (29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(ii)).
C. Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the con-
tract for a class -)f laborers or mechanics includes a fringe
benefit which is not expressed as an hourly wage rate and
the Contractor is obligated to pay a cash equivalent of such
a fringe benefit, an hourly cash equivalent thereof shall
be established. In the event the interested parties cannot
agree upon a cash equivalent of the fringe benefit, the ques-
tion, accompanied by the recommendation of the FAA shall
be referred to the Secretary of Labor for determination.
(29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iii)).
d. If the Contractor does not make payments to a trustee or
other third person, he may consider as part of the wages
of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs rea-
sonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or
program of a type expressly listed in the wage determination
decision of the Secretary of Labor which is a part of this
contract: Provided, however, the Secretary of Labor has
found, upon the written request of the Contractor, that the
applicable standards of the Davis -Bacon Act have been met.
The Secretary of Labor may require the Contractor to set
aside in a separate account assests for the meeting of obliga-
tions under the plan or program. (29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv)).
2. Withholding: FAA From Sponsor. Pursuant to the terms of the
grant agreement between the United States and the Sponsor, relat-
ing to ADAP No. 6-08-0020-01 and Part 152 of the Federal Avia-
tion Regulations (14 CFR Part 152), the FAA may withhold or
cause to be withheld from the Sponsor so much of the accrued
payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay
laborers and mechanics, including apprentices and trainees,
employed by the Contractor or any subcontractor on the work
the full amount of wages required by. this contract.
VIII -7
In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanics, including
apprentices or trainees, employed or working on the site of the
work, all or part of the wages required by the contract, the FAA
may, after written notice to the Sponsor, take such action as
may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment,
or advance of funds, until such violations have ceased.
3. Payrolls and Basic Records.
a. Payrolls and basic records relating thereto will be maintained
during the course of the work and preserved for a period of three
years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the
site of the work. Such records will contain the name and address
of each such employee, his correct classification, rates of pay
(including rates of contributions or costs anticipated of the types
described in section 1(b) (2) of the Davis -Bacon Act), daily and
weekly number of hours worked, deductions made and actual wages
paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR
5.5(a) (1) (iv) (see paragraph d of paragraph 1 above), that the
wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs
reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or pro-
gram described in section 1(b) (2) (B) of the Davis -Bacon Act,
the Contractor shall maintain records which show that the com-
mitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan
or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers
or mechanics affected, and that the records show the costs anti-
cipated or the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits.
(29 CFR 5.5(2)(3)(i)).
b. The Contractor will submit weekly a copy of all payrolls to the
Sponsor for availability to the FAA as required by paragraph
152.59 (a) of the Federal Aviation Regulations. The copy shall
be accompanied by a statement signed by the employer or his
agent indicating that the payrolls are correct and complete, that
the wage rates contained therein are not less than those deter-
mined by the Secretary of Labor and that the classifications set
forth for each laborer or mechanic conform with the work he
performed. A submission of "Weekly Statement of Compliance"
which is required under this contract and the Copeland regulations
of the Secretary of Labor (29 CFR, Part 3) and the filing of the
initial payroll or any subsequent payroll of a copy of any findings
by the Secretary of Labor under 29 CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (iv) (see subpara-
graph d of paragraph 1 above) shall satisfy this requirement.
The prime Contractor shall be responsible for the submission of
copies of payrolls of all subcontractors. The Contractor will make
the records required under the labor standards clauses of the con-
tract available for inspection by authorized representatives of
the FAA and the Department of Labor, and will permit such rep-
resentatives to interview employees during working hours on the
VIII -8
job. Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under approved
programs shall include a notation on the first weekly certified
payrolls submitted to the Sponsor for availability to the FAA,
that their employment is pursuant to an approved program and
shall identify the program. (29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(ii)).
4. Apprentices and Trainees.
a. Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than
the predetermined rate for the work they performed when they
are employed and individually registered in a bona fide appren-
ticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor,
Manpower Administration, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training,
or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau,
or if a person is employed in his first 90 days of probationary
employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program,
who is not individually registered in the program, but who has
been certified by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training or
a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible
for probationary employment as an apprentice. The allowable
ratio of apprentices to journeymen in any craft classification
shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the Contractor
as to his entire work force under the registered program. Any
employee listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who
is not a trainee as defined in subparagraph b of this paragraph
or is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall
be paid the wage rate determined by the Secretary of Labor for
the classification of work he actually performed. The Contractor
or subcontractor will be required to furnish to the Sponsor written
evidence of the registration of his program and apprentices as
well as of the appropriate ratios and wage rates (expressed in
percentages of the journeymen hourly rates), for the area of
constrLetion prior to using any apprentices on the contract work.
The wage rate paid apprentices shall be not less than the appro-
priate percentage of the journeymen's rate contained in the appli-
cable wage determination. (29 CFR 5.5(a)(4)(i)).
b. Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.15 trainees will not
be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the
work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individ-
ually registered in a program which has received prior approval,
evidenced by formal certification, by the U.S. Department of
Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Bureau of Appren-
ticeship and Training. The ratio of trainees to journeymen shall
not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the
Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training. Every trainee must be
paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program
for his level of progress. Any employee listed on the payroll at
a trainee rate and not registered and participating in a training
VIII -9
;'
plan approved by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training shall
be paid not less than the wage rate determined by the Secretary
of Labor for the classification -of work he actually performed.
The Contractor or subcontractor will be required to furnish the
Sponsor or a representative of the Wage -Hour Division of the
U.S. Department of Labor written evidence of the certification
of his program, the registration of the trainees, and the ratios
and wage rates prescribed in that program. In the event the
Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training withdraws approval of
a training program, the Contractor will no longer be permitted
to utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate
for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.
(29 CFR Part 5.5(a)(4)(ii)).
C. Equal employment opportunity. The utilization of apprentices,
trainees and journeyman under this paragraph shall be in confor-
mity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of
Executive Order 11246, as amended, and 29 CFR Part 30.
(29 CFR 5.5(a)(4)(iii)).
d. Application of 29 CFR Part 5.5 (a) (4). On contracts in excess
of $2,000 the employment of all apprentices and trainees as
defined in 29 CFR 5.2 (c) shall be subject to the provisions of
29 CFR Part 5.5 (a) (4) (see paragraph D (1), (2) and (3) above).
5. Enforcement.
a. The FAA shall promulgate the necessary regulations or procedures,
for federally assisted construction programs for which it does
not contract directly, necessary to insure that contracts contain
the provisions herein or such modifications thereof which have
been approved by the Department of Labor. No payment, advance,
grant, loan, or guarantee of funds shall be approved by the FAA
after the beginning of construction unless there is on file with
the FAA a certification by the Contractor that he and his sub-
contractors have complied or that there is substantial dispute
with respect to the required provisions. (29 CFR 5.6(a)(1)).
b. Enforcement activities, including the investigation of complaints
of violations, to insure compliance with the requirements of these
provisions, shall be.the primary duty of the FAA. The Department
of Labor will coordinate its efforts with the FAA, as may be
necessary to ensure consistent enforcement of the requirements
of these provisions. Enforcement of these provisions shall be
in accordance with 29 CFR 5.6.
6. Compliance with Copeland Regulations. The Contractor shall comply
with the Copeland Regulations (29 CFR Part 3) of the Secretary of
Labor which are herein incorporated by reference. (29 CFR 5.5(x)(5)).
C/1
7. Overtime Requirements. No Contractor or subcontractor contracting for
any part of the contract work which may require or involve the employ-
ment of laborers or mechanics shall require or permit any laborer or mech-
anic in any workweek in which he is employed on such work to work in
excess of eight hours in any calendar day or in excess of 40 hours in such
workweek unless such laborer or mechanic receives compensation at a
rate not less than one and one-half times his basic rate of pay for all
hours worked in excess of eight hours in any calendar day or in excess of
40 hours in such workweek, as the case may be. (29 CFR 5.5(c)(1)).
8. Violations;_ Liability for Unpaid Wages; Liquidated Damaires. In the
event of any violation of paragraph 7 (Overtime Requirements), of this
section, the Contractor and any subcontractor responsible therefore
shall be liable to any affected employee for his unpaid wages. In addi-
tion, such Contractor and subcontractor shall be liable to the United
States for liquidated damages. Such liquidated damages shall be com
puted, with respect to each individual laborer or mechanic employed
in violation of said paragraph 7 of this section, in the sum of $10 for
each calendar day on which such employee was required or permitted
to work in excess of eight hours or in excess of the standard workweek
of 40 hours without payment of the overtime wages required by said
paragraph 7 of this section. (29 CFR 5.5(c)(3)).
9. Withholding for Unpaid Wages and Liquidated Damages, and Priority
of Payment.
a. The FAA may withhold or cause to be withheld, from any mon-
ies payable on account of work performed by the Contractor or
subcontractor, such sums as may administratively be determined
to be necessary to satisfy any liabilities of such Contractor or
subcontractor for unpaid wages and liquidated damages as provided
in paragraph 8 of this section. (29 CFR 5.5(c)(3)).
b. In the event of failure or refusal of the Contractor or any subcontrac-
tor to comply with overtime pay requirements of the Contract Work
Hours and Safety Standards Act, if the funds withheld by the FAA
for the violations are not sufficient to pay fully both the unpaid wages
due laborers and mechanics and the liquidated damages due the
United States, the available funds shall be used first to compensate
the laborers and mechanics for the wages to which they are entitled
(or an equitable portion thereof when the funds are not adequate for
this purpose); and the balance, if any, shall be used for the payment
of liquidated damages. (29 CFR 5.14(d)(2)).
10. Working Conditions. It shall be a condition of the contract, and
shall be made a condition of each subcontract entered into pursuant
to the contract, that the Contractor and any subcontractor shall
not require any laborer or mechanic employed in the performance
of the contract to work in surroundings or under working conditions
which are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous to his health or
safety, as determined under construction safety and health standards
promulgated by the United States Secretary of Labor, in accordance
with Section 107 of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards
Act (83 STAT. 96).
11 Subcontracts. The Contractor will insert in each of his subcontracts
the clauses contained in paragraphs 1 through 12 of this section,
and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these
provisions in any lower tier subcontracts which they may enter into,
together with a clause requiring this insertion in any further subcon-
tracts that may in turn be made. (29 CFR 5.5(a)(6), (5.5(c)(4)).
12. Contract Termination; Debarment. A breach of paragraph 1, 2, 3,
5, 6, or 11 may be grounds for termination of the contract, and for
debarment as provided in paragraph 5.6 of the Regulations of the
Secretary of Labor as codified in 29 CFR 5.6. (29 CFR 5.5(a)(7)).
E. Equal Employment Opportunity Clause for All Construction Contracts
and Subcontracts Exceeding $10,000. During the performance of this
contract, the Contractor agrees as follows, except any contracts/subcon-
tracts (or certifications preliminary thereto) with a state or local govern-
ment or any agency, instrumentality or subdivision thereof shall not
be applicable to any agency, instrumentality or subdivision of such
governments which does not participate in work on or under the con-
tract or subcontract).
1. The Contractor will not discriminate against any employee or
applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex,
age, or national origin. The Contractor will take affirmative
action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees
are treated during employment without regard to their race, color,
religion, sex, age, or national origin. Such action shall include,
but not be limited to the following: employment, upgrading, demo-
tion or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff
or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and
selection for training including apprenticeship. The Contractor
agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and
applicants for employment, notices to be provided setting forth
the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.

crimination clauses of this contract or with any of the said rules,
regulations or orders, this contract may be canceled, terminated
or suspended in whole or in part and the Contractor may be
declared ineligible for further Government contracts or federally
assisted construction contracts in accordance with procedures
authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, as
amended, and such other sanctions may be imposed and remedies
invoked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of September 24,
1965, as amended, or by rule, regulation or order of the Secretary
of Labor, or as otherwise provided by Law.
7. The Contractor will include the portion of the sentence imme-

1 through 7 in every subcontract or purchase order unless exempted
by rules, regulations or orders of the Secretary of Labor issued
pursuant to section 204 of Executive Order 11246 of September
24, 1965, as amended, so that such provisions will be binding upon
each subcontractor or Vendor. The Contractor will take such
action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as the
administering agency may direct as a means of noncompliance:
Provided, however, that in the event a Contractor becomes involved
