Section 7. Duty of Secretary.--The secretary shall determine
the prevailing wage rate for each county, utilizing occupational
wage rate data determined by the Center for Workforce and
Analysis of the department as the basis for the determination,
and shall, after consultation with the advisory board, determine
the general prevailing minimum wage rate in the locality in
which the public work is to be performed for each craft or
classification of all workmen needed to perform public work
contracts during the anticipated term thereof: Provided,

benefits pursuant to a bona fide collective bargaining agreement
shall be considered an integral part of the wage rate for the
purpose of determining the minimum wage rate under this act.
Nothing in this act, however, shall prohibit the payment of more
than the general prevailing minimum wage rate to any workman
employed on public work. The secretary shall forthwith give
notice by mail of all determinations of general prevailing
minimum wage rates made pursuant to this section to any
representative of any craft, any employer or any representative
of any group of employers, who shall in writing request the
secretary so to do.
Section 2. This act shall take effect in 60 days.
