Oregon Statutes 701.108 – Failure to comply with prevailing wage rate or other wage and hour standards for energy efficiency and sustainable technology projects
(1) If a project financed under the energy efficiency and sustainable technology loan program is to be constructed for a commercial structure, the State Department of Energy shall require that the certified contractor pay the employees used for the project at the prevailing wage rate determined by the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries for each trade or occupation employed. If a project is not to be constructed for a commercial structure, but the department is uncertain whether prevailing wage requirements apply to the project, the department shall consult with the Bureau of Labor and Industries. As used in this subsection, ‘commercial structure’ means a structure that is not a residential structure.
