================================================================

** Workers in this classification may be entitled to a higher

minimum wage under Executive Order 14026 ($17.75) or 13658

($13.30).  Please see the Note at the top of the wage

determination for more information. Please also note that the

minimum wage requirements of Executive Order 14026 are not

currently being enforced as to any contract or subcontract to

which the states of Texas, Louisiana, or Mississippi, including

their agencies, are a party.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave

for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the

Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any

solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017.  If this

contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide

employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours

they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.

Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their

own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including

preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is

like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other

health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons

resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is

like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic

violence, sexual assault, or stalking.  Additional information

on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO

is available at

https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within

the scope of the classifications listed may be added after

award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses

(29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (iii)).

----------------------------------------------------------------

The body of each wage determination lists the classifications

and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the

type(s) of construction and geographic area covered by the wage

determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical

order under rate identifiers indicating whether the particular

rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate), a survey

rate, a weighted union average rate, a state adopted rate, or a

supplemental classification rate.

Union Rate Identifiers

A four-letter identifier beginning with characters other than

""SU"", ""UAVG"", ?SA?, or ?SC? denotes that a union rate was

prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:

PLUM0198-005 07/01/2024. PLUM is an identifier of the union

whose collectively bargained rate prevailed in the survey for

this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers.

0198 indicates the local union number or district council

number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next

number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in

processing the wage determination. The date, 07/01/2024 in the

example, is the effective date of the most current negotiated

rate.

Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all changes

over time that are reported to WHD in the rates

in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing the

classification.

Union Average Rate Identifiers

The UAVG identifier indicates that no single rate prevailed for

those classifications, but that 100% of the data reported for

the classifications reflected union rates. EXAMPLE:

UAVG-OH-0010 01/01/2024. UAVG indicates that the rate is a

weighted union average rate. OH indicates the State of Ohio.

The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number

used in producing the wage determination. The date, 01/01/2024

in the example, indicates the date the wage determination was

updated to reflect the most current union average rate.

A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January, to

reflect a weighted average of the current rates in the

collective bargaining agreements on which the rate is based.

Survey Rate Identifiers

The ""SU"" identifier indicates that either a single non-union

rate prevailed (as defined in 29 CFR 1.2) for this

classification in the survey or that the rate was derived by

computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates

reported in the survey for that classification. As a weighted

average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may

include both union and non-union rates. Example: SUFL2022-007

6/27/2024. SU indicates the rate is a single non-union

prevailing rate or a weighted average of survey data for that

classification. FL indicates the State of Florida. 2022 is the

year of the survey on which these classifications and rates are

based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal

number used in producing the wage determination. The date,

6/27/2024 in the example, indicates the survey completion date

for the classifications and rates under that identifier.


?SU? wage rates typically remain in effect until a new survey

is conducted. However, the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) has the

discretion to update such rates under 29 CFR 1.6(c)(1).

State Adopted Rate Identifiers

The ""SA"" identifier indicates that the classifications and

prevailing wage rates set by a state (or local) government were

adopted under 29 C.F.R 1.3(g)-(h).  Example: SAME2023-007

01/03/2024. SA reflects that the rates are state adopted. ME

refers to the State of Maine. 2023 is the year during which the

state completed the survey on which the listed classifications

and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an

internal number used in producing the wage determination.

The date, 01/03/2024 in the example, reflects the date on which

the classifications and rates under the ?SA? identifier took

effect under state law in the state from which the rates were

adopted.

-----------------------------------------------------------

the requestor considers relevant to the issue.

3) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an

interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative

Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board).  Write to:
