CHULA VISTA CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF: June 5, 1973
ITEM TITLE: Resolution - Establishing Prevailing Wage Scales for Building
and Construction Trades
INITIATED BY: Director of Public Works/City Engineer
.~,-.,.
BACKGROUND
Section 1773 of the Labor Code of the State of California was amended
July, 1969 to permit a governing body awarding contracts for public work
to publish a master list of prevailing wage scales on an annual basis.
The publication may be referenced for contracts advertised in the sub-
sequent one-year period, and it will no longer be necessary to publish a
complete list of pertinent wage scales with each contract advertised.
This reduction in the volume of material to be printed will substantially_
reduce the City's advertising costs for public contracts.
When any change occurs in the published master list, it will be necessary
that such change only be specified in the first call for bids made
thereafter.
Attached is a copy of the current wage scales as obtained from the San
Diego County Building and Construction Trades Council. Please note that
the list includes both basic trades and subtrades so as to be applicable
to any type contract for public work.
This requested resolution will update the wage scale set forth in
Resolution 6355 adopted on February 22, 1972.
