Prevailing Wage Bidding


Just wondering if any of you fine folks have ever put in a bid on a prevailing wage job. I've had an offer to put in a bid on a small 20k sq ft rec center in a city. We are non-union so I"m not sure if we can even bid?? I"ve already done google for dummies on prevailing wage job steps and it looks like a paperwork and rules nighmare. I thought these things were already locked up anyhow, so I'm betting we have no chance in getting the bid.

Any comments, suggestions, opinions, experiences with this??

Re: Prevailing Wage Bidding


I'm pretty sure bonding is involved and they can ask to see your payroll slips at any time.
I did one,years ago.
Used a friend's Company to run it through for bonding.
They were reimbersed for their expenses,and handled all the paperwork.
It was good money,but at a time when things were busy.
Probably be a lot of compitition now and a lot more scrutiny from other bidders,so have your I's dotted and your T's crossed.
