Description
The Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) filed this action against the Urban Renewal Agency of the City of Salem (Urban Renewal) and others, alleging that workers who performed construction on a hotel were not paid prevailing wages under Oregons Prevailing Wage Rate Law, former ORS 279.348 to 279.380. After the parties filed cross-motions for summary judgment, the trial court concluded that the hotel was not a "public work" within the meaning of the Prevailing Wage Rate Law and entered judgment in favor of Urban Renewal. Subsequently, Urban Renewal filed a petition for attorney fees, a prevailing party fee, and an enhanced prevailing party fee, and the court awarded those fees on the ground that BOLI had prosecuted the action without a reasonable basis in fact and law. BOLI appeals the underlying judgment and the supplemental judgment for attorney fees. We affirm the grant of summary judgment against BOLI but reverse the award of attorney fees and the enhanced prevailing party fee.
