Section 839-025-0200 - Fees to Be Paid by Public Agency

(1) A public agency must pay a fee to the Prevailing Wage Rate Unit for every contract awarded to a contractor for a public work which is regulated under the Prevailing Wage Rate Law (ORS 279C.800 to 279C.870).

(2) The amount of the fee is one tenth of one percent (.001) of the contract price. However, the fee must be no less than $250 nor more than $7,500 regardless of the contract price.

(3) The public agency must pay the fee at the time the public agency notifies the commissioner under ORS 279C.835 a contract subject to the provisions of Prevailing Wage Rate law has been awarded.

(4) In order to assist public agencies in the proper calculation of the fee, the bureau has prepared a form for this purpose. The form, WH-39, is available, on request, from the Prevailing Wage Rate Unit.

(5) As used in this rule, "contract price" means the dollar amount of the contract on the date it was awarded to the contractor and the dollar amount of any subsequent change orders or other adjustments.
