9) Are there posting requirements?

Section 4 includes a paragraph which states that It shall be mandatory upon the contractor or construction manager to whom a contract for public works is awarded to post, at a location on the project site of the public works that is easily accessible to the workers engages on the project, the prevailing wage rates for each craft or type of worker or mechanic needed to execute the contract or project of work to be performed. A failure to post a prevailing wage rate as required by this section is a violation of this Act. However, it is important to note that Section 4 is later revised (93-98) and the aforementioned paragraph is not included.
