Prevailing Wage Certification

This contract calls for the construction of a “public work,” within the meaning of the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act, 820 ILCS 130/.01 et seq. (“the Act”). The Act requires contractors and subcontractors to pay laborers, workers and mechanics performing services on public works projects no less than the current “prevailing rate of wages” (hourly cash wages plus amount for fringe benefits) in the county where the work is performed.

The Department publishes the prevailing wage rates on its website at http://www.state.il.us/agency/idol/rates/rates.HTM. The Department revises the prevailing wage rates and the contractor/subcontractor has an obligation to check the Department’s web site for revisions to prevailing wage rates. For information regarding current prevailing wage rates, please refer to the Illinois Department of Labor’s website. All contractors and subcontractors rendering services under this contract must comply with all requirements of the Act, including but not limited to, all wage requirements and notice and record keeping duties.

Pursuant to Illinois Revised Statutes Chapter 48 par. 39 s-1, all companies wishing to bid on State of Illinois Contracts for all public works projects must certify that their employees receive the prevailing wage rate and work under conditions prevalent in the locality in which the work is produced.

Any company not providing such certification will be considered a non-responsible bidder and their bid will not be considered.

If you are unaware of what the prevailing wages, fringe benefits and working conditions are for the locale in which the contract is to take place, please contact:
