The 700 010 69 form must be completed accurately for each payroll period during an FDOT construction contract. Each employee entry must reflect actual wages paid, with no omissions or adjustments not authorized by law.
Step 1: Enter Project and Period Information
At the top of the form, enter the project name, FDOT contract number, and the start and end dates of the payroll period being reported.
Step 2: List Each Employee
For each worker, enter their full name, work classification (such as laborer, heavy equipment operator, or apprentice), and the number of hours worked each day during the payroll period.
Step 3: Record Wages and Deductions
Enter the hourly pay rate and total gross wages for each employee. List all authorized deductions, including federal and state income taxes. Record the net wages paid to each worker for the period.
Step 4: Complete the Fringe Benefits Section
Indicate fringe benefits provided to each employee, whether paid into an approved benefit plan or delivered directly in cash. Include the per-hour rate and the total amount for the payroll period.
Step 5: Sign the Statement of Compliance
The contractor or an authorized company representative must sign and date the Statement of Compliance at the bottom of the form. This signature certifies that all payroll records are accurate and that minimum wage rates were followed. Falsifying this statement can result in civil or criminal prosecution under Florida and federal law.
Who Needs to Use This Form
The 700 010 69 form applies to all contractors and subcontractors working on FDOT-funded construction projects. It is submitted to the project owner or contract administrator along with the weekly payroll records. Subcontractors must file their own separate submissions for each payroll period.
For payroll compliance on federally funded projects, contractors typically use the certified payroll form (WH-347) instead. Both forms serve the same core purpose: verifying that workers are paid lawful wages. You may also need the construction proposal form when bidding on FDOT contracts.
