RE: SUPPLEMENTAL DECISION OF THE WAGE APPEALS BOARD
CHATTAHOOCHEE WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT, WAB CASE NO. 77-03
THE PREVAILING WAGE RATES APPLICABLE TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF
CHATTAHOOCHEE WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT EXPANSION, EPA
PROJECT NO. C-130470, COBB COUNTY, GEORGIA
THE PETITIONER HAS FORWARDED A REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION
AND CLARIFICATION OF THE BOARD'S DECISION AND ORDER OF APRIL 18,
1977. WITH REFERENCE TO THE PETITIONER'S POSITION THAT SEWER AND
WATER LINE WAGE RATE DATA SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN ANY COMPILATION OF
HEAVY PROJECTS IN COBB COUNTY, THE EXCLUSION OF SUCH DATA FROM A
COMPILATION OF WAGE INFORMATION FROM HEAVY PROJECTS IS PROPER
PROVIDED THAT THERE IS SUFFICIENT WAGE INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO
SUPPORT THE SEPARATE SCHEDULES. ALTHOUGH IT HAS BEEN THE PRACTICE
IN CERTAIN AREAS TO COMPILE SEWER AND WATER LINE INFORMATION WITH
DATA FROM OTHER HEAVY TYPE PROJECTS, THIS SHOULD ONLY BE DONE WHERE
THE RATES ARE SIMILAR AND THE DEPARTMENT [1]
~2
[2] THEREBY AVOIDS ISSUING TWO SCHEDULES WITH THE SAME RATES.
CONCERNING THE INSTRUCTION TO THE ADMINISTRATOR TO REVIEW THE
WAGE DATA TO BE SURE THAT THE RATES ARE ACTUALLY BEING [*] PAID [*]
PURSUANT TO REGULATIONS, PART 1, THE BOARD'S DIRECTION IS TO THE
ADMINISTRATOR AND NOT TO THE PETITIONER, AND IT SHOULD BE CLEAR TO
THE ADMINISTRATOR THAT THIS REVIEW MUST BE MADE ON THE BASIS OF
WAGE RATE INFORMATION IN THE FILES OF THE DEPARTMENT SHOWING THAT
THE WAGE RATES DETERMINED ARE ACTUALLY BEING PAID.
CONCERNING THE QUESTION OF SURVEYING FORM SETTERS SEPARATELY
FROM CARPENTERS, IT WAS STATED AT THE HEARING ON APRIL 14, 1977
THAT THE CARPENTERS WORKING ON THE SURVEYED PROJECTS WERE ACTUALLY
SETTING FORMS AS PART OF THEIR [2]
~3
[3] DUTIES AND THEREFORE THE WAGE RATE DETERMINED WOULD PREVAIL.
BY ORDER OF THE BOARD
CRAIG BULGER
EXECUTIVE SECRETARY
WAGE APPEALS BOARD [1]
