The Washington State Auditor’s Office recently issued a finding that Chelan County failed to ensure that federal prevailing wages were paid on three projects totaling almost $650,000. The County did “not perform measures to ensure federal prevailing wages were paid by its contractors and did not obtain weekly certified payrolls.”
It’s a good reminder that on public works projects that have federal funds involved federal prevailing wages, as determined by the U.S. Department of Labor, will apply in addition to Washington State prevailing wages as determined by the Department of Labor and Industries.
The State Auditor’s Office has a published summary of the finding available at their website.
