As a reminder, the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries has published updated prevailing wage rates for use on public works projects.
The new rates become effective on March 4, 2009.
The specifications for any public works project with a bid submittal deadline of March 4, 2009 or later must include the applicable prevailing wages. The wages must physically be included in the bidding documents. It is not sufficient (or legal) for the bidding documents to simply reference L&I's website.
Since L&I published the wage rates, they have made a number of corrections to the rates. These may be viewed on L&I's website. Thus, it is very important that the prevailing wage rates be printed from the website just prior to publishing the bidding documents in order to ensure they are the most up to date wages.
The rates may be viewed and printed by clicking here on the Labor & Industries website.
