the terms and conditions of this Project Agreement by executing the Letter of Assent (Attachment

by the Contractors. It is further agreed that the terms and conditions of this Project Agreement

shall supersede and override terms and conditions of any and all other national, area, or local

collective bargaining agreements, (including all vertical agreements), except for all work

performed under the NTL Articles of Agreement, the National Stack/Chimney Agreement, the

National Cooling Tower Agreement, and the National Agreement of the International Union of

Elevator Constructors.

1.3 The Contractor agrees to be bound by the terms of the Collective Bargaining

Agreements and amendments thereto of the Signatory Union Affiliates and the applicable

employers association, if any, with the Signatory Union Affiliates with which it has a present

bargaining relationship. If there has previously been no such bargaining relationship, the

contractor or subcontractor shall sign and be bound to all such agreements with Signatory Union

(CBA) of any Signatory Union Affiliate expire prior to the completion of this project, the expired

contracts' terms will be maintained until a new CBA is ratified. The wages, and fringe benefits

included in any new CBA will be effective on the effective date of the newly negotiated CBA unless

wage and fringe benefit retroactivity is agreed upon by the bargaining parties.

performance of any other operation work, or function which may occur at the Project site or be

associated with the development of the Project.

bidder for the award of contracts on this Project without reference to the existence or nonexistence

of any agreements between such bidder and any party to this Agreement; provided, however,

only that such bidder is willing, ready and able to become a party to and comply with this Project

Agreement, should it be designated the successful bidder.
