Capital Projects Advisory Review Board Prevailing Wage Study Taskforce Meeting
The taskforce discussed strategies for collecting and analyzing capital project data to assess prevailing wage impacts. Key topics included the challenges of utilizing the state LEAP database, the limitations of existing Department of Labor and Industries data, and the difficulty of isolating labor costs within project estimates. Participants explored using a neutral platform to construct a representative model project and established a dedicated workgroup to refine data collection. The session also addressed the project timeline leading to a final report in December and identified the need for future collaboration with state agency partners.
