24.17.614    "SITE OF WORK" FOR NON-CONSTRUCTION SERVICES

(1) Unlike construction services, which by their very nature are performed at a specific site of work, many non-construction services can be performed at the place of business of the public contracting agency or at the place of the contractor. The fact that non-construction services are rendered at locations away from the place of business of the governmental entity does not change the requirement that the prevailing wage must be paid under the contract.

(2) As an example, school hot lunches under a food service contract could be prepared at the kitchen of a school where the food is being served, or the food could be prepared at the caterer's own kitchen and transported to the school. Regardless of where the food is being prepared, however, the employees must be paid the prevailing wage.
