This document is a General Wage Determination issued by the U.S. Department of Labor for construction projects in multiple New York counties, including Albany, Columbia, Fulton, Greene, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, and Washington. The wage determination covers building, heavy, and highway construction work, specifying prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for various trade classifications such as asbestos workers, boilermakers, bricklayers, carpenters, electricians, elevator constructors, glaziers, ironworkers, laborers, painters, plumbers, roofers, and truck drivers.

The wage rates are effective from 05/01/2024 and are tied to specific Executive Orders (14026 and 13658), which mandate minimum wage rates for workers on federal government contracts. The document provides detailed hourly rates and fringe benefits for each trade classification, with variations based on specific county and type of construction work. It also includes provisions for paid holidays, noting that workers are entitled to holiday pay if they work the day before or after designated holidays. The wage determination is part of the Davis-Bacon Act requirements, ensuring that workers on federally funded construction projects are paid locally prevailing wages.
