About this file
This is a prevailing wage schedule issued by the Connecticut Department of Labor for the Cheshire Public Schools Fire Alarm System Upgrade project at Cheshire High School (Project Number 2526-4AB). The schedule establishes mandatory minimum hourly wage rates and fringe benefit payments for all classifications of mechanics, laborers, and workers performing on-site work, effective as of January 16, 2026. The project is located in Cheshire, Connecticut, and proposals for professional installation services are due by March 6, 2026 at 2:00 PM, with a mandatory pre-bid walkthrough scheduled for February 16, 2026 at 9:00 AM at Cheshire High School, 525 South Main Street. The Cheshire Public Schools reserves the right to amend, terminate, accept partial proposals, reject all proposals, waive informalities, and award the contract to the bidder deemed most advantageous to the district.
The prevailing wage rates apply to all work classifications including skilled trades such as electrical workers, plumbers, pipefitters, carpenters, ironworkers, operators, and laborers, with hourly base rates ranging from $21.42 to $69.55 and fringe benefits ranging from $7.34 to $44.38 per hour depending on the classification. All persons performing work on-site, regardless of ownership status or contractual relationship, must be paid the applicable prevailing wage rate and fringe benefits. The wage rates are subject to annual adjustments each July 1st during the contract period, with contractors responsible for obtaining updated rates from the Connecticut Department of Labor website. Apprentices registered with the Commissioner of Labor may be paid a percentage of the journeyperson rate with full fringe benefits, provided the worksite maintains a ratio of at least one full-time journeyperson supervising each apprentice. Additional premiums apply for hazardous material removal ($3.00 per hour), specialized equipment operation, and other specified conditions.
