This is a Prevailing Wage Act compliance document related to Maryland's RFP No. 27-5100 for HAPGC Plumbing Services. The document outlines the prevailing wage requirements that apply to contractors performing work on this public works project in Maryland. All contractors and subcontractors bidding on plumbing services must comply with the Davis-Bacon Wage Act and Maryland's prevailing wage laws. Workers employed on this project must be paid at least the predetermined wage rates established for plumbing trades in the relevant Maryland county or jurisdiction. The prevailing wage rates include base hourly wages and fringe benefits, which must be paid to all laborers, mechanics, and workers regardless of union affiliation. Contractors are required to submit certified payroll records demonstrating compliance with these wage requirements throughout the contract term.

The document specifies that prevailing wage compliance is mandatory for all contract work and subcontract work performed on this project. Contractors must maintain accurate records of employee classifications, hours worked, and wages paid to substantiate compliance. Failure to pay prevailing wages constitutes a material breach of contract and may result in penalties, withheld payments, or contract termination. The prevailing wage rates are updated periodically by the Department of Labor, and contractors must use the rates in effect at the time of bid submission and throughout the contract performance period. This wage requirement applies to the full contract term and any renewal options associated with RFP No. 27-5100.
