This Contract is funded in whole or in part using funds from the California Emergency management Agency and requires compliance with general prevailing wages rates established by Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations and/or by U.S. Secretary of Labor

Pursuant to Section 1773 of the Labor Code, the general prevailing wage rates in the county, or counties, in which the work is to be done have been determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations.  These wages are set forth in the General Prevailing Wage Rates for this project, available at County of Amador address and available from the California Department of Industrial Relations’ Internet web site at http://www.dir.ca.gov/DLSR/PWD.  The Federal minimum wage rates for this project as predetermined by the United States Secretary of Labor are available at http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/esc/oe/federal-wages. A copy of the Federal minimum wage rates is available at General Services Administration.  Addenda to modify the Federal minimum wage rates, if necessary, will be issued to holders of Invitation to Bid.

If there is a difference between the minimum wage rates predetermined by the Secretary of Labor and the general prevailing wage rates determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations for similar classifications of labor, the Contractor and subcontractors shall pay not less than the higher wage rate.  The Department will not accept lower State wage rates not specifically included in the Federal minimum wage determinations.  This includes "helper" (or other classifications based on hours of experience) or any other classification not appearing in the Federal wage determinations.  Where Federal wage determinations do not contain the State wage rate determination otherwise available for use by the Contractor and subcontractors, the Contractor and subcontractors shall pay not less than the Federal minimum wage rate, which most closely approximates the duties of the employees in question.
