EXHIBIT B
SCOPE OF SERVICES & PROPOSED SCHEDULE
■ IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SCOPE OF SERVICES
Below is a detailed work plan that describes LCP,Inc.'s approach to the implementation of the labor
compliance monitoring&enforcement services.
TASK 1: PROJECT COORDINATION,PRE-BID,PRE-CONSTRUCTION&PROGRESS MEETINGS
Prior to each project assignment,LCP,Inc.will:
1.1 LCP, Inc. will provide the most current/applicable prevailing wage
determination to the City prior to bid advertisement for inclusion in the
bid specifications; Once the applicability of prevailing wage law (state,
federal or both) is determined, LCP, Inc. will review the project-
applicable rates and will document which of the State versus Federal
rates prevail as highest(to be paid/applied);
1.2 Assist the City in its review/evaluation of RFPs& bids for contract packages and will include
the labor clauses, which are contained in HUD-4010, and the applicable wage rate decision
(and any additional classifications)as a physical part of the bid package;
1.3 Ten days prior to bid opening, LCP,Inc.checks to see if the wage decision has been modified.
If so,we inform the City Project/Construction Manager to notify all potential bidders
appropriately in conformance with local procurement procedures; If a contract has been
awarded but construction has not yet begun within 90 days of the award,our staff
determines if any modifications have been issued to the wage decision.If so,we notify the
contractor that they must adhere to the modified wage decision;
1.4 If a project is applicable to DIR oversight,LCP, Inc.will assist the City in providing notice of
specific project and/or contract to the DIR.
Prior to each project's construction, LCP,Inc.will:
1.5 Coordinate the labor compliance presentation segment at the project's Pre-Bid/Pre-
Construction Meetings or draft and provide scripts for such meetings in order to accurately
inform proposers/bidders of any applicable compliance requirements. For the Pre-Bid/ Pre-
-28-
Con Meetings, LCP,Inc.will prepare or obtain all necessary labor compliance documentation
(e.g. Labor Law Checklist, current wage determinations, labor posters, forms, etc.) for
distribution. At the Pre-Construction Meeting,LCP, Inc.staff will undergo the following:
1.5.1 Explain that the contractor must submit weekly payrolls and Statements of
Compliance signed by an officer of the company,and that the prime contractor is
responsible for obtaining and reviewing payrolls and Statements of Compliance
from all subcontractors;
1.5.2 Explain that wages paid must conform to those included in the wage rate
decision included in the contract.Discuss the classifications to be used.If
additional classifications are needed,contact HUD immediately;
1.5.3 Explain that employee interviews will be conducted periodically throughout the
project;
1.5.4 Explain that a copy of the wage rates shall be posted at the jobsite;
1.5.5 Explain that apprentice or trainee rates cannot be paid unless the apprentice or
training program is certified by the State Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training.
If apprentices or trainees are to be used,the contractor must provide the
grantee with a copy of the State certification of his/her program;
1.5.6 (If the contract is$100,000 or greater)explain that workers must be paid
overtime if they work more than 40 hours in one week,and that failure to pay
workers at least time and a half whenever overtime violates the Contract Work
Hours and Safety Standards law;
1.5.7 Explain that no payroll deductions can be made that are not specifically listed in
the Copeland Anti-kickback Act provisions unless the contractor has obtained
written permission of the employee.Unspecified payroll deductions are a serious
discrepancy and must be resolved prior to further contractor payments;
1.5.8 LCP,Inc.provides contractor with posters for the job site;
1.5.9 LCP,Inc.describes the compliance monitoring that will be conducted during the
project,and indicate that discrepancies and underpayments discovered as a
result of compliance monitoring must be resolved prior to making further
payment to the contractor.We remind the contractor that labor standards
provisions are as legally binding as the technical specifications,and failure to pay
specified wages will result in contractor payments being withheld until all such
discrepancies are resolved and potentially restitution,liquidated damages and/or
recommendation for debarment.
1.6 Verify contractor eligibility to contract on a federal public works project by verifying the
Contractor's State License Board and Federal debarred list. All monitoring information is
maintained in the contractor's project file per LCP,Inc.'s strict Document Control procedures.
Throughout construction, LCP, Inc. will immediately inform the City's assigned staff and the project
contractors of any changes or developments regarding issues of labor compliance, relevant to their
-29-
contract performance for the City. Finally,our Project Manager will be available to attend construction
progress meetings in effort to provide compliance status reports relative to each Project contractor's level
of compliance.
TASK 2: MONITOR&REVIEW OF CONTRACTORS' PAYROLLS&RELATED DOCUMENTS
2.1 Document receipt&data entry-LCP,Inc.will require each Project contractor to submit original
Certified Payroll Records(via US Mail)and related labor compliance documentation(via fax,mail,or
email)on a frequency defined by the LCP Document Submittal Schedule(which is distributed to
contractors at the Pre-Con Meeting). All received documentation is immediately inputted into our
data base system for record keeping,auditing purposes,and also serves as the foundation for
providing reports to the City and Project Contractors. Missing documents will be requested at
minimum twice per month from all project contractors via mass fax/email to encourage their
prompt&timely submittal of outstanding documentation. All incoming documentation will be
categorically&neatly organized in a contractor file,which contains cover sheets for each categorical
section showing which documents were reviewed by which LCP, Inc.staff person. In particular,our
current Certified Payroll Record(CPR)cover sheet shows the submitted CPR's week-ending date,date
reviewed,signature of LCP,Inc.'s auditor,and a section for noting any issues/discrepancies found
during the review process.
2.2 Conduct audits upon each Certified Payroll Record and trust fund reports-LCP, inc.'s Payroll Auditor
will promptly review every received CPR and will confirm proof of payment of trust fund/training
fund contributions. Whereas other consultant firms conduct"random reviews/spot-audits,"
LCP, Inc.reviews each CPR to ensure complete compliance upon the project. Effective monitoring and
enforcement of prevailing wage compliance is not achieved when only"spot audits"are conducted
since the un-reviewed CPRs may very well be the ones that report violations. We don't cheat our
client's by only doing half of the required work—we pride ourselves in providing complete
monitoring&enforcement services. All CPRs will be reviewed/compared against the project-
applicable prevailing wage sheets for compliance in accordance with our Audit Methodology System
described below.Upon discovery of any apparent discrepancies,LCP, Inc.will send letters to the
contractors to clarify inaccuracies and assist them to effectuate compliance.
2.3 Compliance Monitoring Methodology—LCP, Inc.has instituted a proprietary Audit Methodology
Checklist System that contains all the levels of monitoring that should take place to ensure
compliance of all contractors performing on the project. It serves as an internal checks&balance
system to ensure that each contractor's documentation was reviewed with the same level of scrutiny
that the next contractor receives. This is an exclusive feature that our firm provides to assure our
client's that a thorough review has taken place and provides measurable evidence to demonstrate the
audited performed on the Project.
The Audit Methodology Checklist system was developed after extensive meetings with the DLSE/DAS,
and is implemented on every LCP, Inc. project undertakes. The AMC includes the following levels of
auditing review:
• Payment of prevailing wage rates for straight-time and overtime work
• Review of payroll authorized deductions
• Verify contractor Fringe benefit statements against the contractor's submitted proof of payment
to its stated benefit contribution plans
• Apprenticeship training trust contribution verifications
• Apprenticeship compliance(notifications to apprenticeship training programs and training ratio
-30-
compliance)
• Worker complaint follow-up and fallow-thru
• Review&corroboration of on-site visit interviews/work hour records
• Current status with respect to workers compensation insurance&contractor state license
2.4 Monitor Contractor's Compliance with Apprenticeship Requirements
LCP,Inc.will monitor whether contractors comply with apprenticeship
provisions of State statute. Our apprenticeship auditing system includes first
confirming on the State Division of Apprenticeship Standards website that all
apprentices working on the projects are registered by the State. Secondly we
confirm the level(i.e."period')of apprenticeship that the apprentice is technically classified under,
then we review the CPRs to verify that the apprentice worker actually received the proper wage for its
level/period of apprenticeship. Finally,we track the ratio of apprentice-to-journeymen work hours for
compliance with the mandated ratios utilizing our proprietary database system. Any over-utilization
of apprentices will be dealt with in the form of a prevailing wage audit.
2.5 Payment Confirmations-In accordance with California Code of Regulations§16432(c),we will
undertake random confirmation of payment of prevailing wages.
2.6 Contractor Education—Throughout the bid process and construction,LCP,Inc.shall answer questions
from the City pertaining to CA and Federal prevailing wage laws. LCP,Inc.has developed a contractor
education/customer service presentation to provide contractors/client staff with a mini tutorial on
compliance with established apprenticeship&prevailing wage laws. Contractors that undergo this
presentation have shown to reduce the number of incidences of compliance violations on their
projects.
2.7 Processing Requests for Information/Public Records Requests—Occasionally,the City may receive a
Public Records Request or Request for Information as it relates to the labor standards. LCP,Inc.shall
promptly respond to all Requests for Information on behalf of the City for requests of contractors'
(subcontractors')labor compliance project documents.
TASK 3: SITE MONITORING&CONDUCTING WORKER INTERVIEWS
As part of the site monitoring process,LCP,Inc.will obtain work schedules for the construction contract in
order to provide to our assigned On-Site Field Investigator. LCP, Inc.'s Field Investigator will conduct job-
site inspections&random worker interviews(using LCP, Inc.'s site interview form)to determine if
workers are being paid prevailing wages for the type of work being performed. Our Field Investigators are
bi-lingual in English and Spanish,for ease in communicating with non-English speaking construction
workers. Once the interviews are conducted,the Field Investigator provides the interview data to our
Auditor in order to enter into our database and cross-check against data reported in the contractor's
payroll records.
TASK 4: AUDITS&INVESTIGATIONS
Upon discovery of an apparent contractor underpayment,non-payment of wages,or
other labor related issues,our labor compliance team will initiate a formal
investigation. All wage discrepancies will be documented and a restitution demand y "
letter will be sent to the violating contractor with a copy sent to the City and the
prime contractor. The audit will provide contractors the opportunity to provide
-31-
mitigating evidence and recommend appropriate actions to resolve alleged violations. All audits and
outstanding compliance issues will be documented in the Document Tracking Log and the Labor
Compliance Issues Tracking Log,which are used as tools for summarizing all Project compliance issues and
following-up on audits. Once wage restitution is submitted by the contractor,our labor compliance team
will distribute recovered wages to workers,obtain releases,close out the issue with the contractor,and
notify the City. Issues are resolved at the lowest possible level,which results in the timely completion of
project and reduced costs to the City.
LCP,Inc.utilizes its formal Audit Methodology Checklist system to undergo its audits and investigations,
which includes the auditing of the following areas:
• Payment of prevailing wage rates for straight-time and overtime work
• Payment and receipt of prevailing fringe benefit contributions to defined plans
• Review of payroll deductions
• Apprenticeship training trust contributions

Enforcement Phase:Withholdine of Contract Payments/Reauests for Review of Forfeiture
Throughout the Project term,LCP, Inc.will provide technical assistance to appropriate City staff and
contractors to ensure an understanding of the prevailing wage laws/regulations that pertain to the
Project. We believe that early education and training facilitates compliance,dramatically reduces
reporting errors made by contractors,and cultivates positive working relationships amongst all involved
parties. Resolution of prevailing wage violations will be dealt with swiftly and firmly,in accordance with
State requirements,and resolved at the lowest possible level. If any audits are escalated to the Notice of
Withholding of Contract Payments or Request for Review of Forfeiture stages, LCP, Inc.will assist the City
with collaborating with any State adjudication or governmental agencies in support of responding to
compliance issues and will prepare all necessary and obtainable evidence in support of developing the
case. Our support will include the following:
