Pursuant to Section 1773 and
following of the Labor Code, the general prevailing
rate of wages in the county, or counties, in which the
work is to be done has been determined by the Director
of the California Department of Industrial Relations. These wages are set forth in the General
Prevailing Wage Rate for this project, available at
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 or Industrial Relations are referenced but
not printed in the general prevailing wage rates.
Attention
is directed to the federal minimum wage rate
requirements in said books issued for bidding purposes
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.
The U. S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) provides a toll-free
"hotline" service to report bid rigging
activities. Bid
rigging activities can be reported Mondays through
Fridays, between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., eastern time,
Telephone No. 1-800-424-9071. Anyone with knowledge of possible bid, bidder

continuing effort to 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
Sonoma County Board of Supervisors reserves the right to
reject any or all bids and to waive any defect or
irregularity in bidding.
