Certified payroll, usually. Isn't that spelled out in the bid docs?

there is more to it than that, i dont remember the details, but a few years back i got involved with a PWJ, the more i researched the less i wanted it. i backed out, be careful

You're right, there is more then that, look in the front of the spec book for the job, Div 0 or Div 1 will/should give all the information as to how, what where, when, the forms required for payment, documentation, etc.

Read the spec people!!!!!

A few years back we painted a few fire stations & it was prevailing wage.... The bid documents said we also had to provide health insurance & retirement/pension for the job. We already were providing insurance & had a simple IRA plan so the only change for us was the prevailing wage.

Like the others already said, check the bid documents.
