General Prevailing Rate. CITY has ascertained CONTRACTOR shall comply with all applicable requirements of Division 2, Part 7, Chapter 1 of the California Labor Code and all applicable federal requirements respecting the payment of prevailing wages. If there is a difference between the minimum wage rates predetermined by the Secretary of Labor and the prevailing wage rates determined by the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) for similar classifications of labor, the CONTRACTOR and its Subcontractors shall pay not less than the higher wage rate. The DIR will not accept lower State wage rates not specifically included in the Federal minimum wage determinations. This includes "helper" (or other classifications based on hours of experience) or any other classification not appearing in the Federal Wage determinations. Where Federal wage determinations do not contain the State wage rate determination otherwise available for use by the CONTRACTOR and Subcontractors, the CONTRACTOR and its Subcontractors shall pay not less than the Federal Minimum wage rate which most closely approximates the duties of the employees in question.
