Prevailing Wage Projects

What This Service Involves

Every public works dollar we bill carries the correct L&I prevailing wage rate for the county and trade. We file Statements of Intent to Pay Prevailing Wages before starting and Affidavits of Wages Paid at completion. Certified payroll is submitted on the schedule the agency and L&I require. Our crews are trained on classification rules so labor is coded correctly the first time.

Benefits

Correct L&I rates applied by county and trade; Intents and affidavits filed on schedule; Certified payroll delivered without prompting; Reduced audit and compliance risk for the agency

Our Process

1) Confirm applicable prevailing wage rates for the county; 2) File the Statement of Intent before work begins; 3) Perform work and submit certified payroll; 4) File the Affidavit of Wages Paid at closeout

What Affects the Cost

County-specific prevailing wage rates; Trade classifications on the project; Overtime and holiday premium hours; Apprentice utilization requirements; Filing and administrative compliance time

Best Time of Year

Prevailing wage rate schedules update periodically, so we confirm current rates whenever a project spans a rate revision.
