New State Prevailing Wages Effective September 2, 2009

The Washington State Department of Labor and Industries has published revised prevailing wage rates that will become effective on September 2, 2009.

The rates are applicable for all public works projects with a bid submittal deadline of September 2, 2009 or later. Public agencies may need to issue an addendum for projects out to bid in order to include the new prevailing wage rates.

According to Washington State law, the actual prevailing wage rates must be included in all bidding documents and contracts issued by public agencies in the State. Simply referencing L&I's website with the wage rates is not sufficient.

Visit L&I's website to view the new prevailing wage rates by county.
