1.2. The wage rates determined by the DIR refer to expiration dates. If the published wage rate does not refer to a predetermined wage rate to be paid after the expiration date, then the published rate of wage shall be in effect for the life of this Agreement. If the published wage rate refers to a predetermined wage rate to become effective upon expiration of the published wage rate and the predetermined wage rate is on file with the DIR, such predetermined wage rate shall become effective on the date following the expiration date and shall apply to this Agreement in the same manner as if it had been published in said publication. If the predetermined wage rate refers to one or more additional expiration dates with additional predetermined wage rates, which expiration dates occur during the life of this Agreement, each successive predetermined wage rate Attachment N

8. Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement. This project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the DIR. The City must withhold contract payments from the CONTRACTOR as Attachment N
Atty. Rev. 2025
directed by the DIR, pursuant to California Labor Code section 1727.
9. CONTRACTOR and Subcontractor Registration Requirements.
