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 from the California Department of Industrial Relations’ Internet web site at http://www.dir.ca.gov.
The Federal minimum wage rates for this project as predetermined by the United States Secretary of Labor
are set forth in the books issued for bidding purposes entitled "Proposal and Contract," and in copies of
this book that may be examined at the offices described above where project plans, special provisions, and
proposal forms may be seen. Addenda to modify the Federal minimum wage rates, if necessary, will be
issued to holders of "Proposal and Contract" books. Future effective general prevailing wage rates, which
have been predetermined and are on file with the California Department of Industrial Relations are
referenced but not printed in the general prevailing wage rates.
Attention is directed to the Federal minimum wage rate requirements in the books entitled "Proposal and Contract."
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.

rigging activities can be reported Mondays through Fridays, between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., eastern time,

identify and investigate highway construction contract fraud and abuse and is operated under the direction of the
DOT Inspector General. All information will be treated confidentially and caller anonymity will be respected.
The Council reserves the right to reject any and all bids and to waive any informality, technical defect, or minor
irregularity in any bid submitted.
