On a construction invitation to bid, what do "prevailing wages:yes" and "merit/openshop: yes" mean?

1. Prevailing wages means you need to pay your people and make sure subcontractors pay their people the wages that the high paid workers doing that job get. So if a union ditch digger gets $15 and hour and you can find people to dig ditches for $8 you need to pay them $15 on that job.
