This is a Davis-Bacon wage determination document for residential construction projects in Alachua County, Florida, issued by the U.S. Department of Labor on January 6, 2023. The document establishes prevailing wage rates for various construction job classifications applicable to single-family homes and apartments up to 4 stories. It supersedes a previous wage determination and provides detailed hourly rates for workers such as power equipment operators, sheet metal workers, carpenters, electricians, laborers, and other construction trades.

The wage determination specifies different wage rates based on contract entry dates, with two primary scenarios: contracts entered on or after January 30, 2022, and those awarded between January 1, 2015, and January 29, 2022. For contracts entered on or after January 30, 2022, workers must be paid at least $16.20 per hour under Executive Order 14026, while for earlier contracts, the minimum rate is $12.15 per hour under Executive Order 13658. The document also includes provisions for paid sick leave for federal contractors and outlines an appeals process for wage determinations, with contact information for the U.S. Department of Labor's Branch of Construction Wage Determinations.
