Public Works Projects
The overall purpose of the prevailing wage law is to protect and benefit employees on public works projects. Determining whether a project falls under the definition of "public works" can be a complex excercise involving statutory analysis, interpretation of opinion letters, review of industry practices, and familiarity with historical industry practices. In light of its expertise in coverage issues and coverage litigation, Cook Brown attorneys are frequently asked to address employers, trade groups, and other attorneys on prevailing wages in general, as well as the meaning of public works under both state and federal law.
