HEALTH & WELFARE: $5.55 per hour, up to 40 hours per week, or $222.00 per week or $962.00 per month HEALTH & WELFARE EO 13706: $5.09 per hour, up to 40 hours per week, or $203.60 per week, or $882.27 per month* *This rate is to be used only when compensating employees for performance on an SCA- covered contract also covered by EO 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors. A contractor may not receive credit toward its SCA obligations for any paid sick leave provided pursuant to EO 13706. | VACATION: 2 weeks paid vacation after 1 year of service with a contractor or successor; 3 weeks after 10 years, 4 after 15 years, and 5 after 25 years. Length of service includes the whole span of continuous service with the present contractor or successor, wherever employed, and with the predecessor contractors in the performance of similar work at the same Federal facility. (Reg. 29 CFR 4.173) | HOLIDAYS: A minimum of eleven paid holidays per year: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. (A contractor may substitute for any of the named holidays another day off with pay in accordance with a plan communicated to the employees involved.) (See 29 CFR 4.174) THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMBERED FOOTNOTES IN PARENTHESES RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING: 1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: This wage determination does not apply to any individual employed in a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional capacity, as defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 541. (See 41 C.F.R. 6701(3)). Because most Computer Systems Analysts and Computer Programmers who are paid at least $27.63 per hour (or at least $684 per week if paid on a salary or fee basis) likely qualify as exempt computer professionals under 29 U.S.C. 213(a)(1) and 29 U.S.C. 213(a)(17), this wage determination may not include wage rates for all occupations within those job families. In such instances, a conformance will be necessary if there are nonexempt employees in these job families working on the contract. Job titles vary widely and change quickly in the computer industry, and are not determinative of whether an employee is an exempt computer professional. To be exempt, computer employees who satisfy the compensation requirements must also have a primary duty that consists of: (1) The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures, including consulting with users, to determine hardware, software or system functional specifications; (2) The design, development, documentation, analysis, creation, testing or modification of computer systems or programs, including prototypes, based on and related to user or system design specifications; (3) The design, documentation, testing, creation or modification of computer programs related to machine operating systems; or (4) A combination of the aforementioned duties, the performance of which requires the same level of skills. (29 C.F.R. 541.400). Any computer employee who meets the applicable compensation requirements and the above duties test qualifies as an exempt computer professional under both section 13(a)(1) and section 13(a)(17) of the Fair Labor Standards Act. (Field Assistance Bulletin No. 2006-3 (Dec. 14, 2006)). Accordingly, this wage determination will not apply to any exempt computer employee regardless of which of these two exemptions is utilized. 2) AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS AND WEATHER OBSERVERS - NIGHT PAY & SUNDAY PAY: If you work at night as part of a regular tour of duty, you will earn a night differential and receive an additional 10% of basic pay for any hours worked between 6pm and 6am. If you are a full-time employed (40 hours a week) and Sunday is part of your regularly scheduled workweek, you are paid at your rate of basic pay plus a Sunday premium of 25% of your basic rate for each hour of Sunday work which is not overtime (i.e. occasional work on Sunday outside the normal tour of duty is considered overtime work). ** HAZARDOUS PAY DIFFERENTIAL ** An 8 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that represents a high degree of hazard when working with or in close proximity to ordnance, explosives, and incendiary materials. This includes work such as screening, blending, dying, mixing, and pressing of sensitive ordnance, explosives, and pyrotechnic compositions such as lead azide, black powder and photoflash powder. All dry-house activities involving propellants or explosives. Demilitarization, modification, renovation, demolition, and maintenance operations on sensitive ordnance, explosives and incendiary materials. All operations involving re-grading and cleaning of artillery ranges. A 4 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that represents a low degree of hazard when working with, or in close proximity to ordnance, (or employees possibly adjacent to) explosives and incendiary materials which involves potential injury such as laceration of hands, face, or arms of the employee engaged in the operation, irritation of the skin, minor burns and the like; minimal damage to immediate or adjacent work area or equipment being used. All operations involving, unloading, storage, and hauling of ordnance, explosive, and incendiary ordnance material other than small arms ammunition. These differentials are only applicable to work that has been specifically designated by the agency for ordnance, explosives, and incendiary material differential pay. ** 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. ** SERVICE CONTRACT ACT DIRECTORY OF OCCUPATIONS ** The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the """"Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations"""", Fifth Edition (Revision 1), dated September 2015, unless otherwise indicated. ** 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 (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(i)). Such conforming procedures shall be initiated by the contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es) of employees (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)). The Wage and Hour Division shall make a final determination of conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits which shall be paid to all employees performing in the classification from the first day of work on which contract work is performed by them in the classification. Failure to pay such unlisted employees the compensation agreed upon by the interested parties and/or fully determined by the Wage and Hour Division retroactive to the date such class of employees commenced contract work shall be a violation of the Act and this contract. (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(v)). 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(s) and computes a proposed rate(s). 2) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report listing in order the proposed classification title(s), a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for each proposed classification(s), job description(s), and rationale for proposed wage rate(s), 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 U.S. Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division, for review (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)). 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 Division's decision to the contractor. 6) Each affected employee shall be furnished by the contractor with a written copy of such determination or it shall be posted as a part of the wage determination (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(iii)). 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"""" should be used to compare job definitions to ensure 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 (See 29 CFR 4.152(c)(1)).

If you don't see what you are looking for or have questions about specific commodities and/or services, please contact the applicable Purchasing and Contracting Specialist who can help you choose a supplier. Diverse Suppliers and Small Business Enterprises The University encourages doing business with diverse suppliers and small business enterprises whenever possible. We continue to identify these suppliers and businesses in our supplier files. UVM departments can reach out to Purchasing Services for a recent list of these suppliers already doing business with UVM. The State of Vermont's directory of self-certified minority and women owned business enterprises (MWBE) is also available. Sustainable Purchasing Initiatives “Sustainable purchasing” means making decisions about purchases and services based not only on quality and cost, but also on environmental and social aspects. These aspects include reducing waste, recycling, having organic or recycled content, fair trade, and minimizing greenhouse gas emissions. Below are summaries of several campus-wide programs and systems incorporating principles of sustainable purchasing. Sustainable Purchasing Initiatives Printer and Toner Cartridges Body The contract for leased departmental multi-function copiers requires the vendor to accept and recycle all multi-function printer cartridges for their devices. Kyocera Customers can request recycling boxes from National Business Technologies by calling 1-800-900-1927 or sending an email to supplies@national1927.com . The boxes are approximately 14”x14”x32” and include a prepaid UPS shipping label. Fill the boxes with depleted Kyocera toner containers, seal, and send to their recycling facility partner, Close the Loop. SymQuest Recycling is available for all Konica Minolta consumables: toner cartridges, imaging units, waste toner bottles, developer, developer units and drums. Simply consolidate at least ten used Konica Minolta consumables into any spare box you have available, line it with a trash bag, print a shipping label from the Clean Planet Program website , and ship. This program is free of charge for all Konica Minolta customers returning Konica Minolta branded consumables. Staples accepts all used empty cartridges and toner for recycling, regardless of brand. These can be given to the Staples delivery person the next time a delivery is made, or they can be shipped for free to Staples . Used empty cartridges and toner bottles can be sent via campus mail to the recycling office, in original packaging if possible. Small items can be placed in campus Techno Trash bins. For larger toner items or that ditched desk-top printer, enter a Planon service request for pickup. See UVM's What to Recycle Guide . T-Shirts Body Purchasing Services has developed Sustainable T-Shirt Purchasing Guidelines for departments. Please look over our guidelines and incorporate them into your next purchase of t-shirts or clothing for campus. Our goal is to convince departments (you!) to switch to sustainable clothing. Swag Giveaways Body With the abundance of promotional products being given away regularly on campus, consider consulting this SWAG Hierarchy first. Fleet Vehicles Body If your department is looking to purchase a new or used vehicle, your starting point is UVM’s fleet vehicle procurement procedure . This procedure ensures that vehicles are only purchased when needed, are rightsized for the job, and that selection decisions take into account the short- and longer-term environmental impacts. Learn more about UVM’s efforts to green the fleet and what highly efficient or alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) will meet your department’s or school’s needs. Copier and Print Paper Body The University of Vermont is committed to purchasing recycled copier paper in support of our campus sustainability goals. We try to stay green by purchasing 100% recycled paper through our Staples Advantage office supplies contract . Cleaning Products Body Custodial Services requires that custodial supplies be Green Seal Certified. Additionally, Custodial Services has changed its cleaning methods to eliminate the use of cleaning chemicals and the generation of waste where possible, such as using odorless ozonated water for most routine cleaning. Food Services Body University Dining Services emphasizes foods and beverages that are both good for one’s health and socially and environmentally responsible. Examples include purchasing local, organic, and fair trade food and decreasing packaging and food waste on campus using the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Waste Management Hierarchy to guide its waste reduction initiatives on campus. Information Technology (IT) and Equipment Body All the computers, laptops and iPads available through the UVM Bookstore’s TechStore conform to the EPA’s EPEAT program that promotes sustainable purchasing for electronic equipment. EPEAT provides lifecycle accounting on energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, solid waste generation and toxic materials. All laptops and monitors from the TechStore are EPEAT gold certified. Carpeting Body The University of Vermont is committed to purchasing sustainable carpeting in support of our campus sustainability goals. You can access great pricing on sustainable flooring products for any size job with our two preferred vendors – Interface and Shaw. Share our contract number with your local installer, and they will be given UVM’s sustainable options and pricing for your quote. See our UVM Contracted Suppliers (Excel) list for contract numbers and contacts.
