PREVAILING WAGE RATES AND APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM Clause Samples

The Prevailing Wage Rates and Apprenticeship Program clause requires contractors to pay workers at least the minimum wage rates established by law for similar work in the project’s location and to comply with regulations regarding the employment of apprentices. In practice, this means contractors must reference official wage determinations and ensure that any apprentices are properly registered and supervised according to state or federal standards. The core function of this clause is to protect workers from underpayment, promote fair labor standards, and encourage workforce development through apprenticeship opportunities.
PREVAILING WAGE RATES AND APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM. (A) The Contractor is aware and hereby agrees that not less than the prevailing wage rates adopted by the El Paso County Commissioners Court on May 12, 2008 for Highway/Heavy Construction and for Building Construction Trades shall be paid to all workers on the Project. A copy of the prevailing wage rates is attached to this Agreement and incorporated herein as part of this Contract. (B) Contractor agrees to comply with Tex. Gov't Code Sections 2258.001 through 2258.058 and acknowledges that it understands that it will pay to the Owner the sum of $60.00 per day or part of a day, per worker, that a worker is paid less than said prevailing wage rates set forth in this contract. (C) The Contractor agrees to keep records showing the name and occupation of each worker employed by the contractor or subcontractor in the construction of the public work and the actual per diem wages paid to each worker. The Contractor further agrees that such records shall be open at all reasonable hours to inspection by the County through its officers and agents. (D) The Contractor shall post the prevailing wage rate schedules made part of this contract at each work site in a prominent location readily accessible to the workers through the duration of the project. In addition, the Contractor shall post a notice to be provided by the County Director of Public Works regarding Prevailing Wage Rates and the County Apprenticeship Program, in English and Spanish, which shall be posted nearby the prevailing wage rate schedules. (E) Upon a determination by the County that there is good cause to believe that a contractor has violated Chapter 2258 of the Texas Local Government Code, the County shall withhold any amount due under the contract, up to and including the entire contract price, which the Commissioners Court or its agent, in the exercise of reasonable discretion, determines is sufficient to 1) cover the costs to pay the worker the difference between the amount the worker received in wages for labor on the public work at the rate paid by the contractor or subcontractor and the amount the worker would have received at the prevailing wage rate and 2) cover the costs of penalties under Section 2258.023 and 3) to ensure compliance with Chapter 2258 for the duration of the project.
