WHEREAS, existing Section 1072. of the county code is inconsistent with current contract language and requires clarification; and,
WHEREAS, the County is affirmatively seeking to fully embrace the application of prevailing wage on all work on County construction projects and through this change is specifically including the delivery of certain materials to construction sites in the County's prevailing wage policy; now therefore,
