It is in the public interest that public buildings and other public works be constructed and maintained by the best means and highest quality of labor reasonably available and that people working on public works be compensated according to the real value of the services they perform. Therefore, it is the policy of this state that wages of laborers, workers and mechanics on projects financed in whole or part by state funds should be comparable to wages paid for similar work in the community as a whole.
