Prevailing Wage Seminar

The contract pertains to a Prevailing Wage Seminar scheduled to take place over three days from August 23 to August 25, 2016, at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon. This event, organized by the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) of the Department of Labor and supported by the Colville National Forest under the Department of Agriculture, is aimed at regional stakeholders such as unions, private contractors, state and federal agencies, and workers. The seminar will provide comprehensive compliance training focused on laws and regulations relevant to prevailing wage standards, including the Davis-Bacon Act, the McNamara O'Hara Service Contract Act, and Executive Orders 13495 and 13658, which address nondisplacement of qualified workers and establish minimum wage standards for contractors. Participants will gain in-depth knowledge about wage determinations, classification additions, compliance assistance, enforcement procedures, and the appeals process for wage rates and coverage determinations. The event requires advance registration due to limited seating. The contract references an official solicitation number AG-05G1-X-16-COLX and includes contact information for further inquiries. This training opportunity is essential for those involved with prevailing wage programs to ensure proper adherence to federal labor standards and improve compliance practices within their organizations.
