Project Manual 11-210C - Ramapo College of New Jersey

(1) Each Contractor and Subcontractor performing public work for the
College who is subject to the provisions of the Prevailing Wage Act, shall
post the Prevailing Wage Rates for each craft and classification involved
as determined by the Commissioner, including the effective date of any
changes thereof, in prominent and easily accessible places at the site of
the work or at such place or places as are used by them to pay workmen
their wages.
(2) The Contractor's signature on the proposal is its guarantee that neither it,
nor any Subcontractor, is currently listed by, or on record with, the
Commissioner as one who has failed to pay the Prevailing Wages
according to the Prevailing Wage Act.
b. In the event it is found that any workman, employed by any Contractor or any Subcontractor
covered by any Contract in excess of $2,000 for any public work to which the College is a
party, has been paid a rate of wages less than the Prevailing Wage required to be paid by
such Contract, the Contracting Officer of the College may terminate the Contractor's or
Subcontractor's right to proceed with the work, or such part of the work as to which there has
been a failure to pay required wages and may otherwise prosecute the work to completion.
c. Nothing contained in the Prevailing Wage Act shall prohibit the payment of more than the
prevailing wage rate to any workman employed on a public work.
4.3 Supervision and Construction Procedures
4.3.1 The Contractor shall supervise and direct the Work using its best skill and attention. He shall be
solely responsible for all construction means, methods, techniques, sequences and procedures and for coordinating all
portions of the Work under the Contract.
4.3.2 The Contractor shall employ a full-time competent Superintendent and necessary Foreman and
assistants, who shall be in attendance on the Project site during the progress of the Work. The Superintendent shall
represent the Contractor and all communications given to the Superintendent shall be as binding as if given to the
Contractor. Important communications shall be confirmed in writing. The College reserves the right to require a change
in any Contractor personnel if its performance, as judged by the Contracting Officer or its authorized representative, is
deemed to be inadequate. Upon application, in writing to the Contracting Officer or its authorized representative, this
requirement for full-time superintendent may be waived by the Contracting Officer should he determine that such
staffing is not required by the College.
4.3.3 Each Contractor shall employ qualified competent craftsmen in their respective lines of work.
4.3.4 The various Subcontractors shall likewise have competent Superintendents and/or Foremen in charge
of their respective portions of the Work at all times. They shall not employ a person unfit or unskilled in the work
assigned to him. If it should become apparent that a Subcontractor does not have its portion of the Work under control
of a competent Foreman, the Contractor shall have the obligation to take appropriate steps to immediately provide
proper supervision.
4.3.5 If, due to a trade agreement, standby personnel are required to supervise equipment installation or for
any other purpose, during normal working hours or overtime hours of other trades, the Contractor normally employing
the trade required to provide such standby services, shall evaluate and include the costs thereof in its bid price and shall
provide said services without additional charge to the College.
4.3.6 The Contractor shall make new Work fit existing work and/or existing conditions at Contractor’s
cost and expense. Changes in the Work attributable to varying field and/or existing conditions which represent a
minor difference from those indicated on the drawings or can be reasonably predicted or expected to be encountered
