Do I have to post the federal workplace posters in languages other than English? |

With a few exceptions (FMLA and MSPA), the U.S. Department of Labor's regulations do not require posting of notices in Spanish or other languages.
Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) Poster - Where an employer's workforce is comprised of a significant portion of workers who are not literate in English, the employer shall be responsible for providing the notice in a language in which the employees are literate. (The FMLA poster is available en Espanol.)

Dear Contractor;
Due to repeated instances of primes allowing subcontractors to start work on ADOT projects prior to being approved, the following policy is in effect immediately. Prior to closing payrolls the Field Office will notify the prime contractor of any subcontractors who started project work prior to being approved by ADOT. The contractor will be responsible for writing a letter to the Resident Engineer explaining why the subcontractor started work on the project prior to being approved. The letter should also include what remediation measures have been implemented by the contractor to ensure the situation is not repeated. The letter will be concurred to by the RE and then forwarded to Field Reports.
If you have any questions please call Lenyne Hickson at 602.712.7321 or Julio Alvarado at 602.712.7323.

Do I have to submit a certification before I can be paid for materials used on the project? |
| |
Yes - ADOT can not pay you for materials without the proper certification (Certificate of Compliance &/Or Analysis). See Standard Spec. 106.5
|
|
Are Certified Payrolls required for Force Accounts on Non-FA projects? |
| |
YES - All Force Accounts require Certified Payrolls.
|
|
Has the Fuel Cost Adjustment specification changed? |
| |
Yes. The new specification adjusts the dollar amount of work reported each month by 1.5% instead of 1%. The dollar amount will not include any incentives earned, including those for pavement smoothness, thickness, or strength. No adjustments will be made for work performed after Substantial Completion. For further clarification, contact your project Field Office.
