A California city contracts for a standalone $800 repair. It is not part of a larger undertaking or a divided project, and no separate contract or local requirement requires prevailing wages. Which statement describes the Labor Code section 1771 dollar threshold?

Correct Answer

B) No Section 1771 prevailing wage if $1,000 or less.

The stated standalone $800 project falls within section 1771’s $1,000-or-less exception. Splitting a larger project does not establish that exception. Source: https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/PWManualCombined.pdf

Answer Options
A
Treat the dollar amount by itself as controlling without checking related work or public-agency facts.
B
No Section 1771 prevailing wage if $1,000 or less.
C
Split it into two invoices because splitting is the required public works method.
D
Treat it as private work only because the contractor is privately owned.

Why This Is the Correct Answer

The stated standalone $800 project falls within section 1771’s $1,000-or-less exception. Splitting a larger project does not establish that exception. Source: https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/PWManualCombined.pdf
