The comprehensive rate book provides detailed wage rates for numerous construction and trade occupations across different geographic areas of Oregon, including specific rates for job classifications such as Carpenter, Electrician, Plumber, Power Equipment Operator, and Truck Driver. The document outlines base hourly rates and fringe benefits, zone differentials for project locations, shift differentials, and special pay conditions for various work environments and job complexities.

The publication includes specific guidelines for contractors and subcontractors, mandating the posting of prevailing wage rates at worksites, detailing fringe benefit program requirements, and specifying work schedule expectations. The document also contains a list of contractors ineligible to receive public works contracts as of January 5, 2025, and provides instructions on how to determine the correct wage rates based on project location, worker duties, and other contextual factors. Contractors must file a $30,000 public works bond with the Construction Contractors Board, with certain exemptions for small businesses, disadvantaged enterprises, and projects under $100,000, and the rates are designed to ensure fair compensation across different regions and job classifications in Oregon.
