URGENT MEMO TO BIDDERS Nov. 9th

We were just informed by the Owner of the St. Paul’s Commons project that the
interpretation of the Davis-Bacon wage decision for the project has changed. Up until
now we have been working under the assumption that the Residential Rates would apply
to all work on the project. This is no longer true.
According to the County of Contra Costa, since the project has mixed use space on the
ground floor, both the Commercial AND Residential rates now apply to the labor rates on
this project. Since it’s the first floor that will house the future commercial spaces, the County
is requiring us to use the commercial rates for work on the first floor of the building (including
the foundations and slab work). All other work falls under the Residential rates. Please
structure your bids accordingly.
We have posted both wage determinations on our website for your use. We have
reviewed each and, while there are minor differences in various trades, the most
significant ones are for asbestos abatement, drywallers, sheet metal, fire sprinklers and
plumbers – but please verify this for yourselves prior to submitting your bids.
Below is a link to our online plan room where you can download these documents. They

are included in the General Documents section.
