***RFI response***

Place concrete” refers solely to manual labor associated with moving and positioning concrete under supervision. Construction Laborers:

● Use a sledgehammer to pound stakes or pins for concrete forms;

● Hold and guide the pump hose while concrete is discharged;

● Move and spread concrete using concrete rakes, shovels, and come-along tools;

● Consolidate concrete using hand-held or walk-behind vibrators; ● Use vibratory hand screeds or screed boards to help bring concrete to rough grade;

● Clean tools and stage finishing materials for skilled finishers.

Workers do not perform any skilled concrete finishing, such as floating, troweling, edging, or applying surface treatments. These tasks are performed exclusively by separately qualified concrete finishers, not by Construction Laborers.
