Bill > SB908

This bill amends the Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act to expand and clarify definitions and requirements related to public works contracts and wages. Specifically, the bill broadens the definition of "public work" to include custom fabrication, and defines "custom fabrication" as the offsite production of nonstandard goods or materials specifically for a public work project, such as specialized components for plumbing, HVAC, electrical, or other systems. The bill requires that workers involved in custom fabrication be paid prevailing wage rates equivalent to those for on-site workers in the same trade or classification, and subjects custom fabrication contractors to the same compliance, reporting, and enforcement requirements as other contractors. The bill also clarifies that workers must be paid the appropriate rate for their specific craft and cannot be paid multiple rates on the same project. Additionally, the bill specifies that for custom fabrication work, prevailing wage rates will be determined based on the location of the public work project. These changes aim to ensure fair wages and consistent standards for workers involved in both on-site and offsite work related to public projects.
