PREVAILING WAGE RATES: Pursuant to Section 1773 of the Labor Code, the general prevailing wage rates in the county of Santa Barbara, 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 at the City of Lompoc address and available from the California Department of Industrial Relations' Internet Portal. 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.
