A contractor must be signatory to a letter of assent to a Florida local union’s inside construction agreement before the following provisions apply.

  4. TYPE OF WORK COVERED BY THIS ADDENDUM • Office buildings not to exceed two hundred thousand (200,000) square feet, warehouses, shopping centers, gas stations, auto sales agencies and garages, all educational facilities, small manufacturing plants not to exceed fifty thousand (50,000) square feet, food service centers, hospitals, water and waste treatment facilities, nursing homes, clinics, motels, hotels, retail and wholesale facilities, and residential buildings. All requirements of Federal, State or Local prevailing wage requirements outlined in the bid specifications shall be complied with.

  5. TYPE OF WORK COVERED BY THIS ADDENDUM • If a signatory contractor has an opportunity to secure work that exceeds the limitations contained in the scope of this addendum that could lead to more employment opportunities for employees covered by this Addendum, a variance may be requested as outlined in the “Concession Request Procedures” attached to this Addendum. All variances in scope and other terms and conditions must be submitted in writing prior to bidding and approved before implementation by the site local union business manager (where the job is located).

  6. HOURS/WAGES/WORKING CONDITIONS • The employer has the right to establish flexible work schedules for the performance of electrical work to satisfy owner and/or customer requirements. • No overtime shall be paid until (40) hours in the workweek or (10) hours in the workday have been worked.

  7. ORGANIZING/REFERRAL • The IBEW standard referral system will be used by the employer to obtain workers with the “Inside Wiremen” classification. Due to the lack of a union Construction Electricians/Wiremen pool of workers for referral, the employer may hire “Construction Electricians/Wiremen” to meet necessary job composite rates and to adequately staff small works projects. The employer will promptly notify the business manager of the names, recommended classifications and social security numbers of such applicants; and send the applicants to the local union for processing. The local union will then refer those employees back to the recruiting employer. The only time that this may not take place would be in periods of excessive unemployment or the availability of an adequate manpower pool of Construction Electricians/Wiremen. Any questions or disputes regarding this clause shall be referred to the Florida Small Works Labor Management Committee. • On small works projects, the employer shall have the right to call a Foreman by name under the IBEW standard inside referral procedure provided:
