This is an Enhanced Minimum Wage Provisions document issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania applicable to the 2026 Indiana County Asphalt contract. The document establishes wage requirements for contractors and their subcontractors performing services under state contracts. PennDOT Indiana County is requesting bids for two asphalt material line items: ASPHALT, WM 19MM, 15-30% RAP Binder (PennDOT material #356975), with one line item including delivery to the paver and the second line item including source pickup by department forces. The contract requires compliance with Executive Order 2021-06 regarding Worker Protection and Investment, issued October 21, 2021.

Contractors must pay a minimum wage of $15.00 per hour to employees performing services directly called for in the contract and to employees performing ancillary services when such work comprises at least 20 percent of their time in a given work week.

Exemptions apply to employees exempt under the Minimum Wage Act of 1968, those covered by collective bargaining agreements, and employees required to be paid higher wages under prevailing wage laws or other state or federal requirements. Contractors must post the Enhanced Minimum Wage Provisions conspicuously at work sites, maintain employment and wage records for Commonwealth verification, and include these provisions in all subcontracts. Failure to comply may result in contract termination, nonpayment, debarment, or referral for civil or criminal action. Contractors and grantees must also certify compliance with Pennsylvania's Unemployment Compensation Law, Workers' Compensation Law, and all applicable state labor and workforce safety laws.
