The Contractor shall post at appropriate conspicuous weatherproof points on the site of the Project a schedule showing the Prevailing Wage Determinations published by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations that are applicable to the Project.

Pursuant to the provisions of Division 2, Part 7, Chapter 1, Article 2 of the CALIFORNIA LABOR CODE at SECTION 1770, et seq., the City has obtained from the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations the general prevailing rate of per diem wages and the prevailing rate for straight time, holiday time and overtime work in the locality in which the work is to be performed for each craft, classification or type of worker needed to execute the contract, a copy of which is available in the office of the City Engineer.

CALIFORNIA LABOR CODE SECTION 1742.1 makes the Contractor, any subcontractor and the payment bond insurer jointly and severally liable for liquidated damages equal to the total underpayment of wages remaining uncorrected for sixty (60) days after receipt of the first notice of the underpayment.
