This is a Federal Aid Project and all bids must be based upon rates and wages at least as high as the minimum rates established by the Secretary of Labor as included in the Specifications. Prevailing wage rates for California shall be paid to all classifications of labor as required by the laws of the State of California. The proposed Contract is under and subject to Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and to the Equal Opportunity Clause. The EEO requirements, labor provisions and wage rates are included in the specifications and bid documents and are available for inspection at the Department of Public Works. Pursuant to Section 1773 of the Labor Code, to which this contract is subject, the prevailing wage per diem rates in Inyo County have been determined by the Director of the State Department of Industrial Relations. These wage rates appear in the Department of Transportation publication entitled General Prevailing Wage Rates in effect at the time the project is advertised. Future effective wage rates, which have been predetermined and are on file with the State Department of Industrial Relations, are referenced, but not printed, in said publication. Such rates of wages are also on file with the State Department of Industrial Relations and the offices of the Public Works Department of the County of Inyo and are available to any interested party upon request. Pursuant to Section 1725.5 of the Labor Code, the bidder is required to certify that they, and all subcontractors listed on the submitted Bid Form documents, are registered with the CA Department of Industrial Relations. If there is a difference between the minimum wage rates predetermined by the U.S. 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 County 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 that most closely approximates the duties of the employees in question.

In addition, the Bidder, if a joint venture, must have a current joint venture license at the time of award of the contract in accordance with Business and Professions Code Section 7029.1.
