Summary

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court affirmed summary judgment for BSC Group, holding that the Prevailing Wage Act does not apply to the professional engineering services contracts awarded by MassDOT under G.L. c. 7C § 58. The court based its decision on a plain‑language reading of the statutes and the incompatibility of the § 58 procurement scheme with the Act’s requirements.
