About this file
This document is the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) Prevailing Wage Rates publication for public works contracts, effective July 5, 2025. The comprehensive guide provides detailed wage rates for various construction trades and occupations across different regions of Oregon, covering highway, public works, and construction projects. The document includes prevailing wage rates for over 25 different trade classifications such as electricians, carpenters, laborers, truck drivers, ironworkers, sheet metal workers, and others, with specific rates differentiated by geographic area, job classification, and work conditions.
The wage rates are structured with a base hourly rate and fringe benefits, and include complex zone differential pay systems that adjust wages based on project distance from reference city halls. The rates are mandated under Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 279C.800 through 279C.870 and are derived from collective bargaining agreements and government surveys. The publication also includes provisions for additional pay for hazardous work, shift differentials, specialized tasks, and working conditions. Notably, the document includes a list of contractors ineligible to receive public works contracts and provides resources for contractors and public agencies, such as free informational seminars and online guides to help understand and comply with prevailing wage requirements.

** Workers in this classification may be entitled to a higher minimum wage under Executive Order 14026 ($17.75) or 13658 ($13.30). Please see the Note at the top of the wage determination for more information. Please also note that the minimum wage requirements of Executive Order 14026 are not currently being enforced as to any contract or subcontract to which the states of Texas, Louisiana, or Mississippi, including their agencies, are a party.
Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.
Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts.
Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (iii)).
The body of each wage determination lists the classifications and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the type(s) of construction and geographic area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order under rate identifiers indicating whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate), a survey rate, a weighted union average rate, a state adopted rate, or a supplemental classification rate.
Union Rate Identifiers
A four-letter identifier beginning with characters other than ""SU"", ""UAVG"", ?SA?, or ?SC? denotes that a union rate was prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:
PLUM0198-005 07/01/2024. PLUM is an identifier of the union whose collectively bargained rate prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers.
0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. The date, 07/01/2024 in the example, is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate.
Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all changes over time that are reported to WHD in the rates in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing the classification.
Union Average Rate Identifiers
The UAVG identifier indicates that no single rate prevailed for those classifications, but that 100% of the data reported for the classifications reflected union rates. EXAMPLE:
UAVG-OH-0010 01/01/2024. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the State of Ohio.
The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. The date, 01/01/2024 in the example, indicates the date the wage determination was updated to reflect the most current union average rate.
A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January, to reflect a weighted average of the current rates in the collective bargaining agreements on which the rate is based.
Survey Rate Identifiers
The ""SU"" identifier indicates that either a single non-union rate prevailed (as defined in 29 CFR 1.2) for this classification in the survey or that the rate was derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As a weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SUFL2022-007 6/27/2024. SU indicates the rate is a single non-union prevailing rate or a weighted average of survey data for that classification. FL indicates the State of Florida. 2022 is the year of the survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. The date, 6/27/2024 in the example, indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.
?SU? wage rates typically remain in effect until a new survey is conducted. However, the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) has the discretion to update such rates under 29 CFR 1.6(c)(1).
State Adopted Rate Identifiers
The ""SA"" identifier indicates that the classifications and prevailing wage rates set by a state (or local) government were adopted under 29 C.F.R 1.3(g)-(h). Example: SAME2023-007 01/03/2024. SA reflects that the rates are state adopted. ME refers to the State of Maine. 2023 is the year during which the state completed the survey on which the listed classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination.
The date, 01/03/2024 in the example, reflects the date on which the classifications and rates under the ?SA? identifier took effect under state law in the state from which the rates were adopted.
WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

Christina E. Stephenson Labor Commissioner
More information about prevailing wage rates:
The Oregon Bureau of Labor & Industries publishes the prevailing wage rates (PWR) that are required to be paid to workers on non-residential public works projects in Oregon.
Separate documents, Definitions of Covered Occupations for Public Works Contracts in Oregon, provide occupational definitions used to classify the duties performed on public works projects.
These definitions are used to find the correct prevailing wage rate.
The rate book and definition publications are available online at https://www.oregon.gov/boli, as well as additional information, supporting documents, and forms.
Please contact us at PWR.Email@boli.oregon.gov or (971) 245-3844, for additional information such as:
• Applicable prevailing wage rates for projects (Generally, the rates in effect at the time the bid specifications are first advertised are those that apply for the duration of the project.)
• Federal Davis-Bacon rates (In cases where projects are subject to both state PWR and federal
Davis-Bacon rates, the higher wage must be paid.)
• Required PWR provisions for specifications and contracts
• Apprentice rates mailto:PWR.Email@boli.oregon.gov https://www.oregon.gov/boli/employers/Pages/occupational-definitions.aspx https://www.oregon.gov/boli mailto:PWR.Email@boli.oregon.gov

Required Postings for Prevailing Wage Contractors and Subcontractors
PREVAILING WAGE RATES
Every contractor and subcontractor engaged in work on a public works must post the applicable prevailing wage rates for that project in an obvious place on the worksite, so workers have ready access to the information.
DETAILS OF FRINGE BENEFIT PROGRAMS
When a contractor or subcontractor provides or contributes to a health and welfare plan or a pension plan, or both, for employees who are working on a public works project, the details of all fringe benefit plans or programs must be posted on the worksite.
The posting must include a description of the plan or plans, information about how and where claims can be made and where to obtain more information. The notice must be posted in an obvious place on the work site in the same location as the prevailing wage rates.
WORK SCHEDULE
Contractors and subcontractors must give workers their regular work schedule (days of the week and number of hours per day) in writing before beginning work on the project.
Contractors and subcontractors may provide the schedule at the time of hire, prior to starting work on the contract, or by posting the schedule in a location frequented by employees, along with the prevailing wage rate information and any fringe benefit information.
If an employer fails to give written notice of the worker’s schedule, the work schedule will be presumed to be a five-day schedule. The schedule may only be changed if the change is intended to be permanent and is not designed to evade the PWR overtime requirements.

PUBLIC WORKS BONDS
Every contractor and subcontractor who works on public works projects subject to the prevailing wage rate (PWR) law is required to file a $30,000 “PUBLIC WORKS BOND” with the Construction Contractors’ Board (CCB). This includes flagging and landscaping companies, temporary employment agencies, and sometimes sole proprietors.
The key elements of ORS 279C.830(2) and ORS 279C.836 specify that:
Specifications for every contract for public works must contain language stating that the contractor and every subcontractor must have a public works bond filed with the CCB before starting work on the project, unless otherwise exempt.
Every contract awarded by a contracting agency must contain language requiring the contractor:
To have a public works bond filed with the CCB before starting work on the project, unless otherwise exempt; and To include in every subcontract a provision requiring the subcontractor to have a public works bond filed with the CCB before starting work on the project unless otherwise exempt
Every subcontract that a contractor or subcontractor awards in connection with a public works contract between a contractor and a public agency must require any subcontractor to have a public works bond filed with the CCB before starting work on the public works project, unless otherwise exempt.
Before permitting a subcontractor to start work on a public works project, contractors must first verify their subcontractors either have filed the bond or have elected not to file a public works bond due to a bona fide exemption.
The PWR bond is to be used exclusively for unpaid wages determined to be due by the Bureau of Labor & Industries.
The bond is in effect continuously (you do not have to have one per project).
A public works bond is in addition to any other required bond the contractor or subcontractor is required to obtain.
Exemptions:
Allowed for a disadvantaged business enterprise, a minority-owned business, woman-owned business, a business that a service-disabled veteran owns, or an emerging small business certified under ORS 200.055, for the first FOUR years of certification;
Exempt contractor must still file written verification of certification with the CCB and give the CCB written notice that they elect not to file a bond.
The prime contractor must give written notice to the public agency that they elect not to file a public works bond.
Subcontractors must give written notice to the prime contractor that they elect not to file a public works bond.
For projects with a total project cost of $100,000 or less, a public works bond is not required. (Note this is the total project cost, not an individual contract amount.)
Emergency projects, as defined in ORS 279A.010(f).

PREVAILING WAGE RATES
FINDING THE CORRECT PREVAILING WAGE RATE
To find the correct rate(s) required on your public works project, you will need:
• the date the project was first advertised for bid
• the county your project is in
• the duties of workers on the job
Generally, the rate you should look for is based on the date the project was first advertised for bid. (See OAR 839-025-0020(8) for information about projects that contract through a CM/GC, or contract manager/general contractor.)
The Labor Commissioner must establish the prevailing rate of wage for each region as defined in law. (See ORS 279C.800.) A map of these regions can be found on BOLI’s website.
To find the correct rate in this rate book:
1. Determine the duties that are being performed by each worker. Use the booklet Definitions of Covered Occupations to find the definition that most closely matches the actual work performed by the worker. You can find this publication online at https://www.oregon.gov/boli/employers/Pages/occupational-definitions.aspx.
2. Find the correct occupation in the “Prevailing Wage Rate for Public Works Contracts” below.
The prevailing wage rate is made up of an hourly base rate and an hourly fringe rate. The combination of these two amounts must be paid to each worker. Watch for possible zone differential, shift differential, and/or hazard pay. If the occupation lists different rates for different Areas of the state, locate the Area that includes the county where the project is located.
Apprentices must be paid consistent with their registered apprenticeship program standard.
You can find apprenticeship rates on our website at https://www.oregon.gov/boli/employers/Pages/prevailing-wage-rates.aspx. You may also contact the agency to confirm the correct apprenticeship rate.
The “Prevailing Wage Rate Laws” handbook provides specific information and answers questions regarding prevailing wage laws and is available on our website at https://www.oregon.gov/boli/employers/Documents/2024%20PWR%20Law%20book%20- %20FINAL.pdf.
If you have any questions about any of this information, please contact the Bureau of Labor & Industries at PWR.Email@boli.oregon.gov or (971) 245-3844.
