What are the requirements for Ohios prevailing wage law?
A. Projects funded through the Commission are required to use prevailing wage as outlined in the Ohio Revised Code, Chapter 4115. Information on the state law can be found at http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/4115.03. Generally speaking, contractors on public projects are required to pay prevailing wages on construction projects above a certain threshold. The threshold varies by type of work (new construction vs. renovation), and the threshold increases from time to time. To learn more about prevailing wage thresholds or to submit a request for prevailing wage rates, you can access the Ohio Department of Commerce website at www.com.state.oh.us.
