Contractor event

Labor and Industries will give a presentation on prevailing wage law.

IT will explain how the wage rates are developed, which classification to use, the responsibilities of a prime contractor and a subcontractor, and the process of contract closeout.

Builder’s Exchange will demonstrate how contractors can navigate its website and find public projects accepting bids.

The local agencies in the area will go over projects that are going out to bid this year.
