Bureau of Labor & Industries (BOLI)
Construction Contracts Administration administers any construction-related procurement that includes services that require trade labor that is subject to Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) Prevailing Wage Rates (PWR).
Because an analysis must be conducted to determine whether a purchase is subject to BOLI PWR, Construction Contracts Administration is responsible for reviewing the purchase request and making that determination.
All purchases requiring the payment of PWR must be routed through Construction Contracts Administration, regardless of the dollar value.
To determine if a project is subject to BOLI PWR, please email [email protected].
The BOLI website has more information and details about state labor laws.
