HERE IS SOMETHING I BET YOU DID NOT KNOW
 If you perform
Federal prevailing wage projects, or if you may perform federal prevailing wage projects in the future this information is for you: When establishing prevailing wage rates and fringe amounts for a county, if the total of all survey forms received by the Federal Department of Labor result in data for 6 or more employees in a classification (i.e. carpenter) and the data is from 3 or more companies on private (not federal prevailing wage) projects, then that is the data used to determine the wage and fringe amounts. If the Federal Department of Labor receives data below the 6 and 3 threshold, they will include any data submitted from federal prevailing wage projects. In other words, the amount of data needed to influence the use of private projects and to influence the wage and fringe amounts for prevailing wage projects is not very great.
YOUR SURVEY DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
It is also worth noting that if 51% or more of submitted wage and fringe data for a classification is the same to the penny that becomes the wage and fringe amount for that classification. The only data that is the same to the penny is data submitted for union contractors/projects by their respective union (collective bargaining agreements). Again,
YOUR SURVEY INFORMATION IS IMPORTANT AND MAKES A DIFFERENCE. If you do not submit and contribute to the data, you may be enabling a union majority of survey forms and unrealistic, not truly prevailing, rates and fringe benefit amounts.
So, now is your chance! The US Department of Labor is conducting a survey of Building and Heavy construction projects active and on-going between 4/1/14 and 3/31/15 in the state of New Hampshire. Any project with a value of $2000 or more, public or private is included. The date must be submitted by 2/5/16. The electronic form is available by clicking here Hard copies may be obtained by contacting ABC.
PLEASE, if you would like assistance completing the forms contact ABC: 603-226-4789.

| Portsmouth Harbor Cruise - Recap
Thanks to everyone who attended this year's Portsmouth Harbor Cruise. Although, the fog followed us for most of the shortened trip, we still had a great time! Also, thanks to EnviroVantage (Captain Sponsor) for providing each passenger with their very own selfie-sticks and for arranging for the photo booth - they were both a hit!
And of course thanks to all of our sponsors for your support of this event. We can't run these without you!
