This is a Prevailing Wage document related to Buffalo Public Schools' Hazardous Material Testing procurement in New York. The document establishes prevailing wage requirements that apply to contractors and workers engaged in the hazardous materials assessment and testing services across the district's 70+ schools and facilities. The prevailing wage rates specified in this document are mandatory for all personnel performing inspections, sampling, testing, and related hazardous materials work, including asbestos, lead, PCB, and mold assessments. These wage requirements ensure that workers on the project receive compensation at rates determined by the applicable prevailing wage scale for New York, which is a standard requirement for public works and services contracts in the state.

The prevailing wage rates outlined in this document apply to all workers directly engaged in the hazardous materials testing and assessment services, regardless of whether work is performed on-site at individual schools or off-site.
