If a county highway department does construction or reconstruction of town and village highways, bridges and culverts, is this work subject to prevailing wage law?
Work performed by one public entity for another public entity is subject to prevailing wage law if the estimated cost of the complete public works project is at least $25,000. For instance, if a village engages a county highway department to pave a village road, that work is subject to prevailing wage assuming the $25,000 threshold.
