We are a Cultural Resources Firm (Archaeologist and Paleontologists want I went through training on Contractor License 1 and a half years ago. I remember there was a section on the Dept of Industrial Relations that listed all types of industries who were and were not subject to prevailing wages. We need a DIR number for some contracts but do not have to pay prevailing wages.
I cannot remember which section this information in under. Do you?
Would very much appreciate the help.
Thank you -

My company is a private company and we are working with a local school district to take some under utilized land at a local elementary and convert it into a covered sports facility that my organization will use for our youth soccer events. The plan is for us to lease the land from the school district and cover all of the associated construction costs.
If the land is leased to our organization and there is no public money being used for the project does the project still come under the prevailing wage law?
Thank You!...Read More
