1.1 Definitions
1.1.1 The Contract Documents
The Contract documents consist of the Owner-Contractor Agreement,
Advertisement, Bidding Documents, Contract Forms, Conditions of the Contract,
Specifications, Drawings, and all addenda issued prior to and all Modifications
issued after execution of the Contract. A Modification is (1) a written

(4) a written order for a minor change in the work issued by the Architect
pursuant to Paragraph 12.4.
1.1.2 The Contract
The Contract Documents form the Contract for Construction. This Contract
represents the entire and integrated agreement between the parties hereto and
supersedes all prior negotiations, representations, or agreements, either written
or oral. The Contract may be amended or modified only by a Modification as
defined in Subparagraph 1.1.1. The Contract Documents shall not be construed
to create any contractual relationship of any kind between the Architect and the
Contractor, but the Architect shall be entitled to performance of obligations
intended for his benefit, and to enforcement thereof. Nothing contained in the
Contract Documents shall create any contractual relationship between the
Owner or the Architect and any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor.

Documents and includes all labor necessary to produce such construction, and all
materials and equipment incorporated or to be incorporated in such

familiarized himself with the local conditions under which the work is to be performed,
and correlated his observations with the requirements of the Contract Documents.
1.1.4 The intent of the Contract Documents is to include all items necessary for the proper
execution and completion of the Work. The Contract Documents are complementary,
and what is required by any one shall be as binding as if required by all. Work not
covered in the Contract Documents will not be required unless it is consistent therewith
and is reasonably inferable therefrom as being necessary to produce the intended
results. Words and abbreviations which have well-known technical or trade meanings
are used in the Contract Documents in accordance with such recognized meanings. In
case of inconsistent requirements in the Contract Documents the requirements for the
greater quantity or higher quality shall take precedence and shall be the Contract
requirement.

arrangement of Drawings shall not control the Contractor in dividing the work among
Subcontractors or in establishing the extent of Work to be performed by any trade.
1.1.6 Where used in conjunction with the Architect`s or Engineer`s response to submittals,
requests, applications, inquiries, reports and claims by the Contractor, the meaning of
the term "approved" will be held to the limitations of the Architect`s responsibilities and
duties as specified in the General and Supplementary Conditions. In no case will
"approval" by the Architect be interpreted as an assurance to the Contractor that the
requirements of the Contract Documents have been fulfilled.
1.1.7 Where reference is made to standards or trade association publications, it shall mean to
refer to the latest edition and revision thereof, if any, in effect on the date of the contract
Documents.

1.1.1.3 "Directed," "required," "permitted," "ordered," "designed," "prescribed," and
similar words shall mean the "direction (requirement, permission, order,
designation, or prescription) of the Architect."

1.1.1.5 "Necessary," "responsible," "proper," "correct," and similar words shall mean
"necessary (reasonable, proper, or correct) in the judgment of the Architect."
1.1.1.6 Words in the singular shall also mean and include the plural, wherever the
context so indicates, and words in the plural shall mean the singular, wherever
the context so indicates.
1.3 Ownership and Use of Documents
1.1.1 All Drawings, Specifications and copies thereof furnished by the Architect are and shall
remain his property. They are to be used only with respect to his project and are not to
be used any other project. With the exception of one contract set for each party to the
Contract, such documents are to be returned or suitably accounted for to the Architect
on request at the completion of the Work. Submission or distribution to meet official
regulatory requirements or for other purposes in connection with the Project is not to be
construed as publication in derogation of the Architect's common law copyright or other

relating to the execution or progress of the Work or the interpretation of the Contract
Documents shall be referred initially to the Architect for decision which will render in
writing within thirty (30) days.
1.1.9 All interpretations and decisions of the Architect shall be consistent with the intent of
and reasonably inferable from the Contract Documents and will be in writing or in the
form of drawings. In his capacity as interpreter and judge, he will endeavor to secure
faithful performance by both the Owner and the Contractor, will not show partiality to
either, and will not be liable for the result of any interpretation or decision rendered in
good faith in such capacity.
1.1.10 The Architect's decisions in matters relating to artistic effect will be final if consistent with
the intent of the Contract Documents.

duty or responsibility of the Architect to the Contractor, any Subcontractor, any of their
agents or employees, or any other person performing any of the Work.

Contractor as provided in Subparagraph 9.4.1. If the Contractor and the Architect cannot
agree on a revised amount, the Architect will promptly issue a Certificate for Payment for
the amount for which he is able to make such representations to the Owner. Subject to
the provisions of Subparagraph 9.6.3 herein below, the Architect may also decline to
certify payment or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or subsequent
observations, he may nullify the whole or any part of any Certificate for Payment
previously issued to such extent as may be necessary in his opinion to protect the Owner
from loss because of:
1.1.1.1 defective Work not remedied
1.1.1.2 third party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of such
claims,
1.1.1.3 failure of the contractor to make payments properly to Subcontractors or for
labor, materials or equipment, reasonable evidence that the Work cannot be
completed for the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum, damage to the Owner or
another contractor, reasonable evidence that the Work will not be completed
within the Contract Time, or persistent failure to carry out the Work in
accordance with the Contract Documents.
1.1.2 When the above grounds in Subparagraph 9.6.1 are removed, payment shall be made for
amounts withheld because of them.
1.1.3 The City may make changes in any periodic estimate submitted by the Contractor in
accordance with Section 39K of Chapter 30 of the General Laws, and the payment due on
said periodic estimate shall be computed in accordance with the changes so made. The
provisions of said Section 39K shall govern payments pursuant to periodic estimates on
which the City has made changes. The Architect shall mark the date of receipt on the
estimate.
9.7 Failure of Payment
1.1.1 If the Owner fails to make payments as set forth in Section 39K of Chapter 30, the
Contractor shall be compensated as set forth in said Section.
9.8 Substantial Completion
1.1.1 When the Contractor considers that the Work, or a designated portion thereof which is
acceptable to the Owner, is substantially complete as defined in Subparagraph 8.1.3, the
Contractor shall prepare for submission to the Architect a list of items to be completed or
corrected. The failure to include any items on such list does not alter the responsibility of
the Contractor to complete all Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. When
the Architect on the basis of an inspection determines that the Work or designated
GENERAL CONDITIONSGENERAL CONDITIONSGENERAL CONDITIONSGENERAL CONDITIONS
Rocky Hill Bike Trail at Burt’s Bog│ April 18, 2019
Page 32 of 44
portion therefor is substantially complete, he will then prepare a Certificate of
Substantial Completion which shall establish the Date of Substantial Completion, shall
state the responsibilities of the Owner and the Contractor for security, maintenance,
heat, utilities, damage to the Work, and insurance, and shall fix the time within which the
Contractor shall complete the items listed therein. Warranties required by the Contract
Documents shall commence on the Date of Substantial Completion of the Work or
designated portion thereof unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Substantial
Completion. The Certificate of Substantial Completion shall be submitted to the Owner
and the Contractor for their written acceptance of the responsibilities assigned to them
in such Certificate.
1.1.2 Upon substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof and upon
application by the Contractor and certification by the Architect, the Owner shall make
payment, reflecting adjustment in retainage, if any, for such Work or portion thereof, as
provided in the Contract Documents.
9.9 Final Completion and Final Payment
1.1.1 Upon receipt of written notice that the work is ready for final inspection and acceptance
and upon receipt of a final Application for Payment, the Architect will promptly make
such inspection and, when he finds the Work acceptable under the Contract Documents
and the Contract fully performed, he will promptly issue a final Certificate for Payment
stating that to the best of his knowledge, information and belief, and on the basis of his
observations and inspections, the Work has been completed in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the Contract Documents and that the entire balance found to be
due the Contractor, and noted in said final Certificate, is due and payable. The Architect's
final Certificate for Payment will constitute a further representation that the conditions
precedent to the Contractor's being entitled to final payment as set forth in
Subparagraph 9.9.2 have been fulfilled. Final payment shall be made in accordance with
section 39K of Chapter 30, quoted in Subparagraph 9.5.6 hereinabove, which Section
takes precedence over any contradictory provisions of Paragraph 9.9.
1.1.2 Neither the final payment nor the remaining retained percentage shall become due until
the Contractor submits to the Architect (1) an affidavit that all payrolls, bills for materials
and equipment, and other indebtedness connected with the Work for which the Owner
or his property might in any way be responsible, have been paid or otherwise satisfied,
(2) consent of surety, if any, to final payment and (3), if required by the Owner, other
data establishing payment or satisfaction of all such obligations, such as receipts, releases
and waivers of liens arising out of the Contract, to the extent and in such form as may be
designated by the Owner. If any Subcontractor refuses to furnish a release or waiver
required by the Owner, the Contractor may furnish a bond satisfactory to the Owner to
indemnify him against any such lien. If any such lien remains unsatisfied after all
payments are made, the Contractor shall refund to the Owner all moneys that the latter
may be compelled to pay in discharging such lien, including all costs and reasonable
attorneys' fees. The affidavit and consent of surety shall be submitted on AIA forms
G706 "Contractor's Affidavit of Payment of Debts and Claims" and G707 "Consent of
Surety Company to Final Payment".

1.1.3 If, after Substantial Completion of the Work, final completion thereof is materially
delayed through no fault of the Contractor or by the issuance of Change Orders affecting
final completion, and the Architect so confirms, the Owner shall, upon application by the
Contractor and certification by the Architect, and without terminating the Contract, make
payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted.
If the remaining balance for Work not fully completed or corrected is less than the
retainage stipulated in the Contract Documents, and if bonds have been furnished as
provided in Paragraph 7.5, the written consent of the surety to the payment of the
balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be
submitted by the Contractor to the Architect prior to certification of such payment. Such
payment shall be made under the terms and conditions governing final payment, except
that it shall not constitute a waiver of claims.
1.1.4 The making of final payment shall constitute a waiver of all claims by the Owner except
those arising from:
1.1.1.1 unsettled liens,
1.1.1.2 faulty or defective Work appearing after Substantial Completion,
1.1.1.3 failure of the Work to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents,
or terms of any special warranties required by the Contract Documents.
1.1.5 The acceptance of final payment shall constitute a waiver of all claims by the Contractor
except those previously made in writing and identified by the Contractor as unsettled at
the time of the final Application for Payment.

Substantial Completion thereof, such occupancy or use shall not commence prior to a
time mutually agreed to by the Owner and Contractor and to which the insurance
company or companies providing the property insurance have consented by
endorsement to the policy or policies. This insurance shall not be cancelled or lapsed on

Page 38 of 44
12.1 Change Orders
1.1.1 A Change Order is a written order to the Contractor signed by the Owner and the
Architect, issued after execution of the Contract, authorizing a change in the Work or an
adjustment in the Contract Sum or the Contract Time. The Contract Sum and the
Contract Time may be changed only by Change Order. A Change Order signed by the
Contractor indicates his agreement therewith, including the adjustment in the Contract
Sum or the Contract Time. All Change Orders must be countersigned by the
Administrator in accordance with Paragraph 3.1 as supplemented.
1.1.2 The Owner, without invalidating the Contract, may order changes in the Work within the
general scope of the Contract consisting of additions, deletions or other revisions, the
Contract Sum and the Contract Time being adjusted accordingly. All such changes in the
Work shall be authorized by Change Order, and shall be performed under the applicable
conditions of the Contract Documents.
1.1.3 The cost or credit to the Owner resulting from a change in the Work shall be determined
in one or more of the following ways:
1.1.1.1 by mutual acceptance of a lump sum properly itemized and supported by
sufficient substantiating data to permit evaluation;
1.1.1.2 by unit prices stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon;
1.1.1.3 by cost to be determined in a manner agreed upon by the parties and a mutually
acceptable fixed or percentage fee, or
1.1.1.4 by the method provided in Subparagraph 12.1.4.
1.1.4 If none of the methods set forth in Clauses 12.1.3.1, 12.1.3.2 or 12.1.3.3 is agreed upon,
the Contractor, provided he receives a written order signed by the Owner, shall promptly
proceed with the Work involved. The cost of such Work shall then be determined by the
Architect on the basis of the reasonable expenditures and savings of those performing
the Work attributable to the change, including, in the case of an increase in the Contract
Sum, a reasonable allowance for overhead and profit. In such case, and also under
Clauses 12.1.3.3 and 12.1.3.4 above, the Contractor shall keep and present, in such form
as the Architect may prescribe, an itemized accounting together with appropriate
supporting data for inclusion in a Change Order.
1.1.1.1 Cost of materials entering permanently in the Work, including cost of delivery:
1.1.1.2 Cost of labor at the rates found elsewhere in this document including foremen:
1.1.1.3 Rental value at fair market rental rates of equipment and machinery employed
directly on the Work (hand tools and minor equipment excluded):
1.1.1.4 A percentage amount of 25% of item 2 above to cover Workman's
Compensation, F.I.C.A., and unemployment contributions.
GENERAL CONDITIONSGENERAL CONDITIONSGENERAL CONDITIONSGENERAL CONDITIONS

1.1.5 For Work performed by the Contractor with his own forces there shall be added a
percentage fee for the Contractor equal to 15% of the total of Items 1,2,3 hereinabove.
1.1.6 For Work performed by a filed or non-filed Subcontractor there shall be added a
percentage fee for the Subcontractor equal to 15% of the total of Items 1,2,3
hereinabove. To this total amount of the Subcontractor's price there may be added an
additional percentage fee of 10% for the Contractor.
1.1.7 The percentage fee shall be compensation to cover the cost of supervision, layout,
overhead, bonds, profit, and all other expenses which are not included in the cost of the
Work as defined above.
1.1.8 Pending final determination of cost to the Owner, payments on account shall be made on
the Architect's Certificate for Payment. The amount of credit to be allowed by the
Contractor to the Owner for any deletion or change which results in a net decrease in the
Contract Sum will be the amount of the actual net cost as confirmed by the Architect.
When both additions and credits covering related Work or substitutions are involved in
any one change, the allowance for overhead and profit shall be figured on the basis of
the net increase, if any, with respect to that change.
1.1.9 If unit prices are stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon, and if
the quantities originally contemplated are so changed in a proposed Change Order that
application of the agreed unit prices to the quantities of Work proposed will cause
substantial inequity to the Owner or the Contractor, the applicable unit prices shall be
equitably adjusted.
12.2 Concealed Conditions
1.1.1 Pursuant to Section 39N of Chapter 30 of the Laws, the following shall apply to differing
concealed conditions:
1.1.2 If, during the progress of the Work, the Contractor or the City discovers that the actual
subsurface or latent physical conditions encountered at the site differ substantially or
materially from those shown on the plans or indicated in the Contract Documents either
the Contractor or the City may request an equitable adjustment in the Contract Price
applying to Work affected by the differing site conditions. A request for such an
adjustment shall be in writing and shall be delivered by the party making such claim to
the other party as soon as possible after such conditions are discovered. Upon receipt of
such a claim from the Contractor, or upon its own initiative, the City shall make an
investigation of such physical conditions, and, if they differ substantially or materially
from those indicated in the Contract Documents or from those ordinarily encountered
and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in the
Contract Documents and are of such a nature as to cause an increase or decrease in the
cost of the Work, the contracting Authority shall make an equitable adjustment in the
Contract Price and the Contract shall be modified in writing accordingly.
12.3 Claims for Additional Cost
GENERAL CONDITIONSGENERAL CONDITIONSGENERAL CONDITIONSGENERAL CONDITIONS
Rocky Hill Bike Trail at Burt’s Bog│ April 18, 2019
Page 40 of 44
1.1.1 If the Contractor wishes to make a claim for an increase in the Contract Sum, he shall give
the Architect written notice thereof within twenty days after the occurrence of the event
giving rise to such claim. This notice shall be given by the Contractor before proceeding
to execute the Work, except in an emergency endangering life or property in which case
the Contractor shall proceed in accordance with Paragraph 10.3. No such claim shall be
valid unless so made. If the Owner and the Contractor cannot agree on the amount of
the adjustment in the Contract Sum, it shall be determined by the Architect. Any change
in the Contract Sum resulting from such claim shall be authorized by Change Order.
1.1.2 If the Contractor claims that additional cost is involved because of, but not limited to, (1)
any written interpretation pursuant to Subparagraph 2.2.8, (2) any order by the Owner to
stop the Work pursuant to Paragraph 3.3 where the Contractor was not at fault, (3) any
written order for a minor change in the Work issued pursuant to Paragraph 12.4, or (4)
failure of payment by the Owner pursuant to Paragraph 9.7, the Contractor shall make
such claims as provided in Subparagraph 12.3.1, except as set forth in Subparagraph 3.3.2
of the Supplementary Conditions.
12.4 Minor Changes in the Work
1.1.1 The Architect will have authority to order minor changes in the Work not involving an
adjustment in the Contract Sum or an extension of the Contract Time and not consistent
with the intent of the Contract Documents. Such changes shall be effected by written
order, and shall be binding on the Owner and the Contractor. The Contractor shall carry
out such written orders promptly.
ARTICLE 13 - UNCOVERING AND CORRECTION OF WORK
13.1 Uncovering of Work
1.1.1 If any portion of the Work should be covered contrary to the request of the Architect or
to requirements specifically expressed in the Contract Documents, it must, if required in
writing by the Architect, be uncovered for his observation and shall be replaced at the
Contractor's expense.
1.1.2 If any other portion of the Work has been covered which the Architect has not
specifically requested to observe prior to being covered, the Architect may request to see
such Work and it shall be uncovered by the Contractor. If such Work be found in
accordance with the Contract Documents, the cost of uncovering and replacement shall,
by appropriate Change Order, be charged to the Owner. If such Work be found not in
accordance with the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall pay such costs unless it be
found that this condition was caused by the Owner or a separate contractor as provided
in Article 6, in which event the Owner shall be responsible for the payment of such costs.
13.2 Correction of Work
1.1.1 The Contractor shall promptly correct all Work rejected by the Architect as defective or
as failing to conform to the Contract Documents whether observed before or after
Substantial Completion and whether or not fabricated, installed or completed. The
GENERAL CONDITIONSGENERAL CONDITIONSGENERAL CONDITIONSGENERAL CONDITIONS
Rocky Hill Bike Trail at Burt’s Bog│ April 18, 2019
Page 41 of 44
Contractor shall bear all costs of correcting such rejected Work, including compensation
for the Architect's additional services made necessary thereby.
1.1.2 If, within one year after the Date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated
portion thereof or within one year after acceptance by the Owner of designated
equipment or within such longer period of time as may be prescribed by law or by the
terms of any applicable special warranty required by the Contract Documents, any of the
Work is found to be defective or not in accordance with the Contract Documents, the
Contractor shall correct it promptly after receipt of a written notice from the Owner to
do so unless the Owner has previously given the Contractor a written acceptance of such
condition. This obligation shall survive termination of the Contract. The Owner shall give
such notice promptly after discovery of the condition.
1.1.3 The Contractor shall remove from the site all portions of the Work which are defective or
non-conforming and which have not been corrected under Subparagraphs 4.5.1, 13.2.1
and 13.2.2, unless removal is waived by the Owner.
1.1.4 If the Contractor fails to correct defective or nonconforming Work as provided in
Subparagraphs 4.5.1, 13.2.1 and 13.2.2, the Owner may correct it in accordance with
Paragraph 3.4.
1.1.5 If the Contractor does not proceed with the correction of such defective or non-
conforming Work within a reasonable time fixed by written notice from the Architect, the
Owner may remove it and may store the materials or equipment at the expense of the
Contractor. If the Contractor does not pay the cost of such removal and storage within
ten days thereafter, the Owner may upon ten additional days' written notice sell such
Work at auction or at private sale and shall account for the net proceeds thereof, after
deducting all the costs that should have been borne by the Contractor, including
compensation for the Architect's additional services made necessary thereby. If such
proceeds of sale do not cover all costs which the Contractor should have borne, the
difference shall be charged to the Contractor and an appropriate Change Order shall be
issued. If the payments then or thereafter due the Contractor are not sufficient to cover
such amount, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner.
1.1.6 The Contractor shall bear the cost of making good all work of the Owner or separate
contractors destroyed or damaged by such correction or removal.
1.1.7 Nothing contained in this Paragraph 13.2 shall be construed to establish a period of
limitation with respect to any other obligation which the Contractor might have under
the Contract Documents, including Paragraph 4.5 hereof. The establishment of the time
period of one year after the Date of Substantial Completion or such longer period of time
as may be prescribed by law or by the terms of any warranty required by the Contract
Documents relates only to the specific obligation of the Contractor to correct the Work,
and has no relationship to the time within which his obligation to comply with the
Contract Documents may be sought to be enforced, nor to the time within which
proceedings may be commenced to establish the Contractor's liability with respect to his
obligations other than specifically to correct the Work.
13.3 Acceptance of Defective or Non-Conforming Work
GENERAL CONDITIONSGENERAL CONDITIONSGENERAL CONDITIONSGENERAL CONDITIONS
Rocky Hill Bike Trail at Burt’s Bog│ April 18, 2019
Page 42 of 44
1.1.1 If the Owner prefers to accept defective or nonconforming Work, he may do so instead
of requiring its removal and correction, in which case a Change Order will be issued to
reflect a reduction in the Contract Sum where appropriate and equitable. Such
adjustment shall be effected whether or not final payment has been made.
13.4 Special Guarantees and Warranties
1.1.1 All guarantees and warranties required in the various Sections of the Specifications which

Wage Request Number: 20190410-019Issue Date:04/10/2019
Information about Prevailing Wage Schedules for Awarding Authorities and Contractors
• This wage schedule applies only to the specific project referenced at the top of this page and uniquely identified by the
“Wage Request Number” on all pages of this schedule.
• An Awarding Authority must request an updated wage schedule from the Department of Labor Standards (“DLS”) if it has
not opened bids or selected a contractor within 90 days of the date of issuance of the wage schedule. For CM AT RISK
projects (bid pursuant to G.L. c.149A), the earlier of: (a) the execution date of the GMP Amendment, or (b) the bid for the first
construction scope of work must be within 90-days of the wage schedule issuance date.
• The wage schedule shall be incorporated in any advertisement or call for bids for the project as required by M.G.L. c. 149,
§ 27. The wage schedule shall be made a part of the contract awarded for the project. The wage schedule must be posted in a
conspicuous place at the work site for the life of the project in accordance with M.G.L. c. 149 § 27. The wages listed on the
wage schedule must be paid to employees performing construction work on the project whether they are employed by the prime
contractor, a filed sub-bidder, or any sub-contractor.
• All apprentices working on the project are required to be registered with the Massachusetts Department of Labor
Standards, Division of Apprentice Standards (DLS/DAS). Apprentice must keep his/her apprentice identification card on
his/her person during all work hours on the project. An apprentice registered with DAS may be paid the lower apprentice
wage rate at the applicable step as provided on the prevailing wage schedule. Any apprentice not registered with DLS/DAS
regardless of whether or not they are registered with any other federal, state, local, or private agency must be paid the
journeyworker's rate for the trade.
• The wage rates will remain in effect for the duration of the project, except in the case of multi-year public construction
projects. For construction projects lasting longer than one year, awarding authorities must request an updated wage schedule.
Awarding authorities are required to request these updates no later than two weeks before the anniversary of the date the
contract was executed by the awarding authority and the general contractor. For multi-year CM AT RISK projects, awarding
authority must request an annual update no later than two weeks before the anniversary date, determined as the earlier of: (a)
the execution date of the GMP Amendment, or (b) the execution date of the first amendment to permit procurement of
construction services. Contractors are required to obtain the wage schedules from awarding authorities, and to pay no less than
these rates to covered workers. The annual update requirement is not applicable to 27F “rental of equipment” contracts.
• Every contractor or subcontractor which performs construction work on the project is required to submit weekly payroll
reports and a Statement of Compliance directly to the awarding authority by mail or email and keep them on file for three years.
Each weekly payroll report must contain: the employee’s name, address, occupational classification, hours worked, and wages
paid. Do not submit weekly payroll reports to DLS. A sample of a payroll reporting form may be obtained at
http://www.mass.gov/dols/pw.
• Contractors with questions about the wage rates or classifications included on the wage schedule have an affirmative
obligation to inquire with DLS at (617) 626-6953.
• Employees not receiving the prevailing wage rate set forth on the wage schedule may report the violation to the Fair Labor
Division of the office of the Attorney General at (617) 727-3465.
• Failure of a contractor or subcontractor to pay the prevailing wage rates listed on the wage schedule to all employees who
perform construction work on the project is a violation of the law and subjects the contractor or subcontractor to civil and
