In 1945, the Washington State legislature enacted the Prevailing Wage on Public Works Act. Now codified as Chapter 39.12 RCW, the state prevailing wage law serves a similar purpose to the federal Davis-Bacon Act of 1931 (40 U.S.C. 276a). Drake v. Molvik & Olsen Elect., 107 Wn.2d 26, 29, 726 P.2d 1238 (1986).
