Prevailing wages are required on this Contract. The Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations determines the general prevailing wage rates. Obtain the wage rates at the DIR Web site, http://www.dir.ca.gov, or from the County’s Community Development Department. 

If the minimum wage rates as determined by the United States Secretary of Labor differs from the general prevailing wage rates determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations for similar classifications of labor, you and your subcontractors must not pay less than the higher wage rate. The County does not accept lower State wage rates not specifically included in the federal 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 you and your subcontractors, you and your subcontractors must pay not less than the Federal minimum wage rate that most closely approximates the duties of the employees in question. 

The selected bidder will be required to execute an agreement substantially similar to the County standard form contract for public works projects, which includes insurance and indemnification provisions. 

Prior to the issuance of the Notice to Proceed, you will attend a pre-construction conference held at the office of the Community Development Department for the purpose of discussing the scope of work, Contract drawings, specifications, existing conditions, material to be ordered, equipment to be used, and all essential matters pertaining to the prosecution and the satisfactory completion of the project. You MUST include all major superintendents for the work and major sub-contractors at this conference. You must appoint a superintendent to act as the single point of contact for the duration of the project. In the event a substitution should be made during the project, you will provide this information in writing.
