We in the local construction industry have seen increasing numbers of contracts being awarded to out-of-area/non-union contractors who hire low wage employees from outside the county to perform this work. The economic results for the county as well as the industry have not been good , to say the least . We urge you to support this 100; county-wide prevailing wage plan as one that will help insure fair competition as well as aid in keeping local residents working on local jobs . Very truly yours , A]-.R CONDIT]:ONING SYSTEMS i Donna L.

Our company, Marelich Mechanical Co. , Inc. is a major contractor performing work in Contra Costa County. Our success and our local competitors success is governed to a large extend by having a uniform wage rate. A uniform wage rate enables us all to compete on a uniform basis . The ability of the local competitor to compete against contractors outside this area, where wages are less, will not only hurt our company, but — the many local residents who work for us . In the end, the local economy suffers because the local people are put out of work. The immediate benefit of having projects built at lower wages will hurt our local economy and put additional pressure on the local working man. We trust we can count on your support for extending the requirement for paying prevailing wages on projects in Contra Costa County.
