\*\* UNIFORM ALLOWANCE \*\*

If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this
contract (either by the terms of the Government contract, by the
employer, by the state or local law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such
uniforms and maintaining (by laundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms
is an expense that may not be borne by an employee where such cost
reduces the hourly rate below that required by the wage determination.
The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance with the
following standards as compliance:

The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees
with an adequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse
employees for the actual cost of the uniforms. In addition, where
uniform cleaning and maintenance is made the responsibility of the
employee, all contractors and subcontractors subject to this wage
determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective bargaining
agreement providing for a different amount, or the furnishing of
contrary affirmative proof as to the actual cost), reimburse all
employees for such cleaning and maintenance at a rate of \$3.35 per week
(or

\$.67 cents per day). However, in those instances where the uniforms
furnished are made of \"wash and wear\" materials, may be routinely
washed and dried with other personal garments, and do not require any
special treatment such as dry cleaning, daily washing, or commercial
laundering in order to meet the cleanliness or appearance standards set
by the terms of the Government contract, by the contractor, by law, or
by the nature of the work, there is no

requirement that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs.

\*\* NOTES APPLYING TO THIS WAGE DETERMINATION \*\*

Source of Occupational Title and Descriptions:

The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in
the \"Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations,\" Fourth Edition,
January 1993, as amended by the Third Supplement, dated March 1997,
unless otherwise indicated. This publication may be obtained from the
Superintendent of Documents, at 202-783-3238, or by writing to the
Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office,
Washington, D.C. 20402. Copies of specific job descriptions may also be
obtained from the appropriate contracting officer.

REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND WAGE RATE
{Standard Form 1444 (SF 1444)}

Conformance Process:

The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee
which is not listed herein and which is to be employed under the
contract (i.e., the work to be performed is not performed by any
classification listed in the wage determination), be classified by the
contractor so as to provide a reasonable relationship (i.e., appropriate
level of skill comparison) between such unlisted classifications and the
classifications listed in the wage determination. Such conformed classes
of employees shall be paid the monetary wages and furnished the fringe
benefits as are determined. Such conforming process shall be initiated
by the contractor prior to the performance of contract work by

such unlisted class(es) of employees. The conformed classification, wage
rate, and/or fringe benefits shall be retroactive to the commencement
date of the contract. {See Section 4.6 (C)(vi)} When multiple wage
determinations are included in a contract, a separate SF 1444 should be
prepared for each wage determination to which a class(es) is to be
conformed.

The process for preparing a conformance request is as follows:

1\) When preparing the bid, the contractor identifies the need for a
conformed occupation)and computes a proposed rate).

2\) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report
listing in order proposed classification title), a Federal grade
equivalency (FGE) for each proposed classification), job description),
and rationale for proposed wage rate), including information regarding
the agreement or disagreement of the authorized representative of the
employees involved, or where there is no authorized representative, the
employees themselves. This report should be submitted to the contracting
officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted class(es) of employees
performs any contract work.

3\) The contracting officer reviews the proposed action and promptly
submits a report of the action, together with the agency\'s
recommendations and pertinent information including the position of the
contractor and the employees, to the Wage and Hour Division, Employment
Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, for review. (See
section 4.6(b)(2) of Regulations 29 CFR Part 4).

4\) Within 30 days of receipt, the Wage and Hour Division approves,
modifies, or disapproves the action via transmittal to the agency
contracting officer, or notifies the contracting officer that additional
time will be required to process the request.

5\) The contracting officer transmits the Wage and Hour decision to the
contractor.

6\) The contractor informs the affected employees.

Information required by the Regulations must be submitted on SF 1444 or
bond paper.

When preparing a conformance request, the \"Service Contract Act
Directory of Occupations\" (the Directory) should be used to compare job
definitions to insure that duties requested are not performed by a
classification already listed in the wage determination. Remember, it is
not the job title, but the required tasks that determine whether a class
is included in an established wage determination. Conformances may not
be used to artificially split,

combine, or subdivide classifications listed in the wage determination.
