Prevailing wages are the basic hourly rate of pay paid to workers on public works of improvement. Because all public works projects are awarded to the “lowest responsible bidder” the establishment of a floor in the prevailing wage law ensures that public agencies award contracts only to those bidders who employ skilled, competent construction workers. Prevailing wages protect local area hourly rates and benefit standards for workers and contractors alike.
