Purpose

BOLI prevailing wage rates apply on construction-related projects over $50,000 or on construction-related projects where $50,000 or more of labor and materials was provided within the same building, or site, within a 12-month window and the solicitation of all such services shall be processed through PCMM regardless of dollar value.

Responsibility

The Project Manager (PM) should contact Procurement, Contracts and Materials Management (PCMM) to determine whether or not BOLI applies to the project prior to soliciting construction services.

Timeframe

BOLI is determined prior to soliciting construction services.

Process

Contact PCMM for procurement of construction services for projects where the total cost of labor and material is anticipated to exceed $50,000.  When requesting construction contracts or Purchase Orders (POs), BOLI determinations are made by PCMM through the Commitment Approval Process (CAP) in AiM.

Purchase Orders may be utilized for BOLI procurements that are:

  • Generally valued at or under $25,000 or in some cases in excess of $25,000 where the procurement is mainly for equipment with minimal construction-related services for installation of the procured equipment.
  • Do not require or have obtained design or design related services
  • Have no retainer contracts available for utilization

Fees on BOLI projects are calculated at one-tenth of one percent of the contract price (contract amount x .001).  The minimum BOLI fee is $251.00 and the maximum fee  is $7,500.00.
