Failure to conform to this requirement shall not relieve the Contractor of any of the obligations of the Contract.

1.03.A Documents to be Read Together – Any Company Drawings, both general and detail, referred to in the Project Specifications shall be deemed to be a part thereof, and the Project Specifications, Company Drawings, and the other Contract Documents shall be considered together, so that any part of the Work shown or described on the Company Drawings though not specifically referred to in the Project Specifications, or elsewhere in the Contract, or vice versa, shall be executed by the Contractor as a part of the Contract, as well as any Work which, in the opinion of Company, may be fairly inferred from, or reasonably required by, the Project Specifications, Company Drawings, or other Contract Documents.

(2) Any discrepancy, contradiction or ambiguity that cannot be resolved by recourse to the Contract Documents in the foregoing order shall be immediately referred to Company. Company shall determine which shall control and its decision shall be final. In all cases, figures will take precedence over scale measurements on Company Drawings, but where obvious discrepancies exist, Contractor shall consult Company and shall abide by Company’s decision. On all matters under this Contract, in the event of conflicting determinations by Company or Contractor, Company’s determination shall control and shall be final. Contractor will be held to have carefully examined all the Contract (including the Contract Documents), and any discrepancy, contradiction or ambiguity in any of them or between them and any decision of Company resolving any such discrepancy, contradiction or ambiguity shall not be grounds for a claim for additional compensation or additional time by Contractor.

A-16

(d) Any false Contractor representation may result in termination of the contract and referral to the appropriate state agency for initiation of suspension and debarment action pursuant to H.R.S. Chapter 104 or H.R.S. Chapter 103D. 2. Payment of Wages and Contractor Obligations

(a) Definitions. -- Director – Means the Director of the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations of the State of Hawai`i (DLIR). --Site of the work -- (1) Means – (i) The primary site of the work. The physical place or places where the construction called for in the contract will remain when work on it is completed; and (ii) The secondary site of the work, if any. Any other site where a significant portion of the building or work is constructed, provided that such site is – (A) Located in the State of Hawai`i; and (B) Established specifically for the performance of the contract or project; (2) Except as provided in paragraph (3) of this definition, includes any fabrication plants, mobile factories, batch plants, borrow pits, job headquarters, tool yards, or other similar facilities, provided -- (i) They are dedicated exclusively, or nearly so, to performance of the contract or project; and

Exhibit E-82 (ii) They are adjacent or virtually adjacent to the "primary site of the work" as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(i), or the "secondary site of the work" as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this definition; (3) The “site of work” does not include permanent home offices, branch plant establishments, fabrication plants, or tool yards of a Contractor or subcontractor whose locations and continuance in operation are determined wholly without regard to a particular H.R.S. Chapter 104 covered contract or project. In addition, fabrication plants, batch plants, borrow pits, job headquarters, yards, etc., of a commercial or material supplier which are established by a supplier of materials for the project before opening of bids and not on the Project site, are not included in the "site of the work." Such permanent, previously established facilities are not a part of the "site of the work" even if the operations for a period of time may be dedicated exclusively or nearly so, to the performance of a contract. (b)(1)(i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work shall be paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by rules issued by the Director) the full amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment computed at rates not less than those contained in the wage schedule issued by the Director and published at http://hawaii.gov/labor/rs/WRS/WRS.htm and as the Director may periodically adjust through the term of this contract. (ii) The Contractor shall monitor http://hawaii.gov/labor/rs/WRS/WRS.htm (which may be found at http://hawaii.gov/labor) and any subsequent updates of such wage schedule and shall provide HECO and all subcontractors notice of all updates to the wage schedule. In the event of any delay in the receipt of an updated wage schedule, the Contractor shall ensure all laborers and mechanics receive retroactive payment of any wage and fringe benefit underpayments resulting from the late application of the wage schedule. (iii) All laborers and mechanics engaged in work on the site of the work and any secondary sites shall be paid not less than the rates set in the DLIR wage schedule regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the Contractor (or subcontractors) and such laborers and mechanics. Payment of any wage schedule rates for a secondary site of the work shall be effective and required from the first day during which work under the contract was performed at that site. Laborers and mechanics employed by the construction Contractor or construction subcontractor that are transporting portions of the building or work between the secondary site of the work and the primary site of the work shall be paid in accordance with the wage schedule. (2) Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under H.R.S. Chapter 104 are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the requirements of H.R.S. Chapter 104 and relevant rules of the Director. Regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such period. (3) Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid not less than the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits in the wage schedule for the classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in rules of the

Exhibit E-83 Director relating to Apprentices and Trainees. Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein; provided that the payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed. (4) The wage schedule (including any additional classifications and wage rates conformed under this clause) and the DLIR Employee Rights Poster (available by request at [email protected]) shall be posted at all times by the Contractor and its subcontractors at the primary site of the work and each secondary site of the work, if any, in a prominent and accessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers. (c)(1) The Contractor shall ensure that any class of laborers or mechanics, which is not listed in the wage schedule and which is to be employed under the contract, shall be classified in conformance with the wage schedule in accordance with the provisions of HAR Title 12, Chapter 22. Additional classifications and wage rates and fringe benefits shall be allowed only when all the following criteria have been met: (i) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the wage schedule. (ii) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry. (iii) The proposed wage rate, including any fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination. (iv) No classification of “helpers” shall be permitted. (d) If, prior to entering into the project agreement with the State under H.R.S. Chapter 39A, HECO has entered into a collective bargaining agreement with a bona fide labor union governing HECO’s workforce, the economic terms of the collective bargaining agreement shall be deemed the prevailing wage and fringe benefit rates for any HECO employees who may perform work on the project. However, the then current DLIR wage schedule shall be the applicable prevailing wage for workers of the Contractor and any subcontractors at any time. (e) The Contractor and all subcontractors shall cooperate with HECO and DLIR officials in the investigation of any alleged violations of H.R.S. Chapter 104 or the terms of this contract and shall comply fully with HECO’s reasonable requests and any orders and decisions of the Director, subject to appeal and review rights available under H.R.S. Chapter 104 and implementing rules. 3. Payment of Overtime

(a) No Contractor or subcontractor employing laborers or mechanics shall require or permit them to work over 40 hours in any workweek unless they are paid at least 1 and 1/2 times the basic rate of pay for each hour worked over 40 hours. In addition, overtime rates shall be paid to all laborers and mechanics engaged in work on weekends and holidays in accordance with H.R.S. Chapter 104 and HAR Title 12, Chapter 22.

4. Withholding of Contract Payments

HECO may, either upon request of an authorized representative of the Director or on HECO’s own initiative, withhold or cause to be withheld from the Contractor under this contract or any other HECO contract with the same Prime Contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices and trainees, employed by the Contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by the contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, (including any apprentice or trainee, employed or working on the site of the work), all or part of the wages required by the contract, HECO may take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until HECO determines or the Director determines and informs HECO that such violations have ceased. 5. Payroll Reports and Maintenance of Records

(a)(1) The Contractor shall maintain payrolls and related basic records during the course of the work and preserve such records for a period of 3 years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work. Such records shall contain the name, address, and social security number of each such worker, his or her correct classification, hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents), daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions made, and actual wages paid, and such other information as the Director may require in rules published at HAR Title 12, Chapter 22. (2) The Contractor and its subcontractors shall allow HECO and the Director’s representatives to inspect records maintained under paragraph (a)(1) of this clause. The Contractor or subcontractor also shall allow authorized representatives of HECO and the Director to interview employees in the workplace during working hours. (3) Whenever the Contractor or subcontractors provide fringe benefits to covered workers, the Contractor and subcontractors shall further maintain records showing the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits. (4) Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs.

Exhibit E-85 (b)(1) The Contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any contract work is performed a copy of all payrolls to the Director. The payrolls submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under this clause. This information may be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH-347 (Federal Stock Number 029-005-00014-1) is available for this purpose and may be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. The Contractor is responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors. (2) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a "Statement of Compliance," signed by the Contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons employed under the contract and shall certify – (i) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be maintained under paragraph (a) of this clause and that such information is correct and complete; (ii) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper, apprentice, and trainee) employed on the contract during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages earned, without rebate, either directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been made either directly or indirectly from the full wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set forth in the Director’s rules; and (iii) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the classification of work performed, as specified in the wage schedule applicable to the contract at the time the work was performed. (3) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional Form WH-347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the "Statement of Compliance" required by this clause. (4) The certifications required in this clause shall be to the Director, and falsification of any of the certifications in this clause may subject the Contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution. (5) Upon request, Contractor shall provide HECO with copies of certified payrolls and that have been submitted to the Director. (c) The Contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under this clause available for inspection, copying, or transcription by the Director’s authorized representatives and by HECO. The Contractor or subcontractor shall permit HECO’s and the Director’s representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job. If the Contractor or subcontractors fail to submit required records or to make them available, HECO may take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment. Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to make such records available may be grounds for debarment action by The State of Hawai`i pursuant to H.R.S. Chapter 104 or H.R.S. Chapter 103D, as appropriate. 6. Labor Standards Disputes
