A "wage determination" is the listing of wage rates and fringe benefit rates for each classification of laborers and mechanics which the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor has determined to be prevailing in a given area for a particular type of construction (e.g., building, heavy, highway, or residential).
The Wage and Hour Division issues two types of wage determinations: general determinations, also known as area determinations, and project determinations. The term "wage determination" is defined as including not only the original decision but any subsequent decisions modifying, superseding, correcting, or otherwise changing the rates and scope of the original decision.
In accordance with the provisions of 29 CFR Part 1 and Part 5, the wage rates and fringe benefits in the applicable Davis-Bacon wage determination shall be the minimum paid by contractors and subcontractors to laborers and mechanics on projects covered by the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts.
A general wage determination reflects those rates determined by the Wage and Hour Division to be prevailing in a specific geographic area for the type of construction described. General wage determinations and modifications and supersedeas decisions thereto, contain no expiration dates and are effective from their date of publication on the Wage Determination website at ; or notice in the Federal Register, or on the date written notice is received by the agency, whichever is earlier. Effective June 14, 2019, the sam.gov website became the official source for contracting agencies to use when obtaining general wage determinations issued by DOL. If a contracting agency has a proposed construction project to which a general wage determination would be applicable, the published wage determination may be used by the contracting agency without consulting the Department of Labor, provided that questions concerning its use shall be referred to the Department of Labor.
A project wage determination is issued at the specific request of a contracting agency (using a Standard Form (SF) 308); is applicable to the named project only; and expires 180 calendar days from the date of issuance unless it is incorporated into a contract within that timeframe or an extension of the expiration date is requested by the agency and approved by the Wage and Hour Division. If such a determination is not used in the period of its effectiveness, it is void.
In the case of projects to receive housing assistance payments under section 8 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, a revised wage determination is effective with respect to the project if it is issued prior to the beginning of construction or the date the agreement to enter into a housing assistance payments contract is signed, whichever occurs first.
Yes. Effective June 14, 2019, the Department of Labor migrated to the Wage Determination website at as the source for obtaining Davis-Bacon Act (DBA) general wage determinations. Notice of future revisions to general wage determinations will be posted on sam.gov. Archived versions of the DBA wage determinations that are no longer current may be accessed by searching for inactive wage determinations for informational purposes only.
The Federal agency funding or financially assisting the construction project requests a wage determination under the Davis-Bacon Act or any of the related prevailing wage statutes by submitting a Standard Form (SF) 308 via email to DBA308...@dol.gov or to the following address:
The time required for processing requests for project wage determinations varies according to the facts and circumstances in each case. An agency should anticipate that such processing will take at least 30 days.
General Wage Determinations should be obtained from the agency funding the project you will be working on. The contracting agency is responsible for including the applicable wage determination(s) in any solicitation or bidding documents, and in the prime contract. Subcontractors should request the applicable wage determination from the prime contractor or the contracting agency.
Yes. The prevailing wage rate, both the basic hourly rate and any fringe benefit rate, listed on the wage determination for a particular classification of work is the minimum rate that the contractor can pay to workers who are working in that job classification on the project.
As a general rule, the wage determination incorporated into a bid solicitation and related contract award establishes the minimum wage rates and fringe benefits which must be paid for the entire term of the contract.
There are three exceptions to this general rule. In the following circumstances, the contracting agency must incorporate the most recent revision of the wage determination(s) into an ongoing contract.
Yes. Construction projects are generally classified as either Building, Heavy, Highway or Residential for purposes of issuing wage determinations. Wage determinations for one or more of these construction categories may have application to construction items contained in a proposed construction project. Guidelines for the selection of proper wage determinations based on the type(s) of construction involved in a project are set forth in All Agency Memoranda No. 130 (March 17, 1978) and No. 131 (July 14, 1978). All Agency Memoranda No. 236 which was published on December 14, 2020, updated the threshold for incorporating multiple Davis-Bacon wage determinations, and should be reviewed as well when determining the applicability of multiple wage determinations. Any questions regarding the application of these guidelines to a particular project, or any disputes regarding the application of the wage determinations issued for the various types of construction, must be referred to the Wage and Hour Division, together with relevant information, including a complete description of the project and area practice.
(a) A person employed and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of Apprenticeship, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office of Apprenticeship;
(b) A person in the first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been properly certified to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice.
Individuals employed as apprentices may be paid a wage rate lower than the prevailing wage on the wage determination only if the apprentices are utilized on the job site at a ratio (of apprentices to journeyworkers) that is no greater than ratio under the approved program or, the ratio applicable to the locality of the project (where the project is located in a locality different from the one in which the approved program is registered).
The proper wage rates to be paid to apprentices are those specified by the particular programs in which they are enrolled, expressed as a percentage of the journeyworker rate on the applicable wage determination. However, where apprentices are employed to work on a DBRA project in a locality other than the one in which their apprenticeship programs are registered, the appropriate apprentice wage rate (also expressed as a percentage of the journeyworker rate) shall be that which applies to the project locality.
In the event individuals reported as apprentices on a covered project have not been properly registered within the meaning of the regulations and the contract stipulations or are utilized at the job site in excess of the permitted apprentice to journeyworker ratio, they must be paid the applicable wage rates for laborers and mechanics employed on the project performing in the classification of work they actually performed. This applies regardless of work classifications that may be listed on the submitted payrolls and regardless of their level of skill.
For projects that are covered by the Federal-Aid Highway Acts, 23 U.S.C. 113, apprentices and student trainees who are enrolled in programs certified by the Secretary of Transportation under that statute may work on Davis-Bacon projects as recognized categories of workers, at wage rates determined by the Secretary of Transportation in accordance with 23 U.S.C. sec. 113(c).
An initial request is sent to interested parties to request subcontractor contact information through the use of the Davis-Bacon Wage Survey Subcontractor Contact Information (WD-10a) form. The contact information obtained will be compiled and used for notification when the survey begins.
A survey participation letter is mailed to all general/prime contractors and subcontractors that are identified through this review. This letter includes information regarding the parameters of the survey as well as WHD contact information. The letter also requests that the identified general/prime contractor or subcontractor provide responsive wage rate information in its possession for work performed on projects within the survey parameters.
If after four weeks a response has not been received from all identified general/prime contractors and subcontractors, reminder emails will be sent out. After six weeks a follow-up telephone call may be made. If it is not practical to telephone each non-respondent, a random sample of follow-up telephone calls may be conducted.
