San Jose Municipal Code Part 1 Purpose and Definitions

A. This chapter sets forth the city's prevailing wage policy for contracts entered into by the city for "public works" (as that term is defined herein) that are municipal affairs so as to comply with Labor Code Section 1782. It reflects the city's intent to apply state prevailing wage requirements to contracts entered into by the city involving public works that are municipal affairs.

B. The city's prevailing wage policy as set forth in Resolution Nos. 61144, 61716, 72518, 71584, and 76242, or any future resolution governing prevailing wages, shall not apply to the extent a contract for a public works is covered by this chapter. The city's prevailing wage policy as set forth in these resolutions or any future resolutions shall continue to apply to all other contracts.

C. The city's adoption of the prevailing wage requirements in this chapter is done pursuant to the city's home rule authority over such municipal affairs.

The definitions set forth in this part shall govern the application and interpretation of this chapter.
