In accordance with the Prevailing Wage Determination Act, the contractor(s) shall:
a. Pay no less than the wage rates including contributions for employee benefits as determined in the decision of the Secretary of Labor and Industry and shall comply with the conditions of the Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act approved August 15, 1961 (Act No. 442) as amended August 9, 1963 and/or subsequent amendments thereof (Act No. 342) and the regulations issued pursuant thereto.
