New York and New Jersey public MEP work carries strict prevailing wage and participation rules across many agencies and authorities, and a subcontractor that cannot watch them all misses fitting bids and the terms that come with them.
What New York and New Jersey MEP work involves
Both states post public MEP work across state agencies, authorities, school districts, and city portals. The work carries state prevailing wage with certified payroll, MWBE participation goals, and the adopted code editions, all set in the specifications, which decide what the sub must price.
Why this work is easy to miss
The agencies and authorities post across many portals on their own schedules, and the wage and participation terms sit in the documents, not the title. A sub watching one portal misses fitting work and the terms that decide eligibility.
