EVER GREEN CONSTRUCTION, INC., WAB No. 86-04 (WAB Sept. 12, 1986)


CCASE: EVER GREEN CONSTRUCTION DDATE: 19860912 TTEXT: ~1 [1] WAGE APPEALS BOARD UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR WASHINGTON, D.C. In the Matter of EVER GREEN CONSTRUCTION, INC. WAB Case No. 86-04 Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska Dated: September 12, 1986 DENIAL OF MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION The Wage Appeals Board is in receipt of a Motion for Reconsideration of its decision dated July 21, 1986 in the above- captioned appeal. The Motion was filed by counsel for the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division and was supported by a brief relying on an argument that the regulation at 29 CFR 1.6(f) is not applicable to the circumstances of this case. The majority of the Board has reexamined its decision in light of the arguments contained in the Administrator's Motion for Reconsideration and hereby reaffirms its decision, therefore the Motion is denied. Dissenting opinion of Member Dunn: There is merit to the Motion for Reconsideration and I would grant it. At least the Board should permit argument on an issue not raised in the briefs. I am concerned that the procedure which we now require the Administrator to follow may create turmoil in future similar cases where contractors have bid and the contract was awarded based on a wage determination and the procedures set forth in Sec. 5.5(a)(1)(ii) of the regulations. The Board has always been cautious that the bidding process is fairly preserved for all contractors and that they are all aware of the proper application of the regulations in such process. BY ORDER OF THE BOARD Craig Bulger, Executive Secretary Wage Appeals Board [1]
