Is there a certain amount of direct financial assistance that must be provided to be subject to prevailing wage requirements as a publicly funded private construction project?
Under §66.0904, Statutes, prevailing wage requirements apply to private construction projects that receive at least $1 million of public funds from a local governmental unit. However, if the project has infrastructure or other facilities that will be constructed, dedicated to and accepted by a local governmental unit and the total estimated project cost of those improvements is at least $25,000, then that portion of the project is subject to prevailing wage law under §66.0903, Statutes (i.e., local governmental unit prevailing wage law).
