which such worker is required or permitted to work more than 8 hours in any one calendar day and 40 hours
in any one calendar week in violation of the provisions of Labor Code section 1810. (Labor Code§ 1813.)
Attention is given to the fact that both Federal (Davis-Bacon) and State of California prevailing wage rate
requirements apply to this project. Not less than the greater of the Federal Davis-Bacon wage rates or the
general prevailing wage rate of per diem wages and the Federal prevailing rates for holiday and overtime
must be paid on this project. State of California prevailing wage rates are available online at
www.dir.ca.gov/dlsrlpwd/southern.html.
Contractor shall post at the work site, or if there is no regular work site then at its principal office, for the
duration of the Contract, a copy of the determination by the Director of the Department of Industrial
