employees equitably based on the pay scales from the New Mexico Department of Labor. Jason indicated that he followed up
on this item and said that C and Sons and Phaze One fell beneath, but because C and Son and Phaze One, their owners are the
journeymen, they are able to pay their semiskilled employees their wages. Jason recommended to Council that C and Sons be
the primary contractor and Phaze One be the secondary contractor based that they submit their paperwork to New Mexico
Workforce Solutions and they pass the State Wage Decision Act. Mayor Pro Tem Romero asked if the Council had any
