In recent newsletters we reported that the Governor's 2014-15 Budget included a proposal to consolidate all public works and prevailing wage enforcement under a single unit, with that unit supported by a new registration fee on contractors working on public projects.
That fee becomes a reality on July 1, 2014. All contractors and subcontractors that intend to bid or work on public projects will be required to pay a non-refundable annual fee set initially at $300. The fee may be adjusted (but not more than annually) so that it generates adequate funds to cover program costs which are currently $11.4M.
