The Owner has determined that the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act applies to the installation and other on-site work preformed under this Contract. Contractor shall therefore comply with the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act and shall pay, and require every Subcontractor to pay, the prevailing rates of wages as established by the Illinois Department of Labor for each craft or type of work needed to execute the contract in accordance with 820 ILCS 130/.01 et seq.

Any increases in costs to the Contractor due to changes in the prevailing rate of wage during the terms of any contact shall be at the expense of the Contractor and not at the expense of the Owner. Change orders shall, however, be computed using the prevailing wage rates applicable at the time the change order work is scheduled to be performed.

Contractor shall be solely responsible for maintaining accurate records as required by the Prevailing Wage Act and to obtain and furnish all such certified records to Department of Labor as required by Statute or Regulation, in the manner specified by the Department of Labor (e.g. through the Department’s portal) including certified payroll. Contractor shall be solely liable for paying the difference between pre-vailing wages and any wages received by laborers, workmen and/or mechanics engaged in the Work and in every way defend and indemnify the Owner against any claims arising under or related to the payment of wages in accordance with the Prevailing Wage Act. The Owner agrees to notify the Contractor of Sub-contractor of the pendency of any such claim, demand, lien or suit.

The Contractor if advised that the Illinois Department of Labor revises the prevailing wage rates and the Contractor/Subcontractor has an obligation to check the Department’s web site for revisions to prevailing wage rates.
