New Prevailing Wages Effective August 31, 2008

The Washington State Department of Labor and Industries, which published revised prevailing wage rates on August 1, 2008, made the new rates effective on August 31, 2008. There were a number of corrections made to the rates originally published on August 1, 2008.

If you printed the rates for inclusion in bidding documents prior to August 31, 2008, it's probably a good idea to reprint the rates with the corrections and include those in the bidding documents.

As a reminder, the effective date for prevailing wages on public works projects is the date bids are due to be submitted to the public agency.

To view and print the current prevailing wage rates, visit the website of the Department of Labor and Industries.
