7 *Construction projects, where the estimated cost of the total project exceeds $100,000, are subject to the provisions of the Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act 442 and amended by Act 89 of 2013. It is the responsibility of the municipality to request the Prevailing Wage Scale for the area and include it in the proposal. If the Prevailing Wage Act applies, this fact shall be noted in the advertisement.

On projects utilizing Federal Revenue Sharing Funds, if the project cost exceeds $2,000 and is financed with 25% or more Federal Revenue Sharing Funds, the Davis Bacon Act applies. Again, it is the responsibility of the municipality to obtain the Davis Bacon Wage Rates, include them in the proposal and note the fact in the advertisement. If both acts are applicable, The Davis Bacon Act has preference over the Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act.

8 An ESCALATOR CLAUSE is optional; if used, it must be included in the proposal prepared by the municipality. An escalator clause may not be inserted by the contractor.

Asphalt price adjustment will be per PENNDOT Pub 408, Current Edition, Section 110.04.
