Pursuant
to Section 1773 and following of the Labor Code, the

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 Rates 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 of 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
collusion, or other fraudulent activities should use
the "hotline" to report these activities. The "hotline" is part of the DOT's
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
Board of Supervisors of the Sonoma County reserves the
right to reject any or all bids and to waive any defect
or irregularity in bidding.
