This document is a Wage Requirements file issued by the Connecticut Department of Labor's Wage and Workplace Standards Division for the Bridgeport WPCA Sewer System Rehabilitation project (PR-2). The document details prevailing hourly wage rates and benefits for various construction trade classifications involved in heavy/highway construction, including boilermakers, carpenters, electricians, laborers, painters, plumbers, and equipment operators. The wage rates are effective as of August 27, 2024, and are specific to the Bridgeport project, with hourly rates ranging from $20.70 for traffic control signalmen to $57.85 for painters performing bridge construction work with specialized techniques.

The wage requirements are governed by Connecticut General Statutes, specifically Section 31-53, and are subject to annual adjustments each July 1st for the project's duration. Contractors are required to pay these prevailing wages to all workers on-site, regardless of their employment classification, and must submit certified payrolls documenting hours worked and wages paid. The document emphasizes that all persons performing on-site work must be paid the appropriate prevailing wage for their specific job classification, and the rates include both hourly wages and fringe benefits. Additional provisions include special considerations for apprentices, hazardous waste work premiums, and crane operation supplemental rates based on boom length.
