Attachment E Wage Determination.pdf

This is a Wage Determination document applicable to federal and federally-funded contracts. The document establishes prevailing wage rates that must be paid to workers on covered projects, typically administered under the Davis-Bacon Act or similar prevailing wage legislation. The wage determination sets forth minimum hourly rates, including base wages and fringe benefits, that must be paid to employees in various classifications such as laborers, carpenters, electricians, and other trades depending on the specific project type and location. The determination applies to construction, maintenance, and service work performed on federal or federally-assisted projects, and contractors are required to comply with these rates as a condition of contract award. The rates are regularly updated and classified by county or geographic area to reflect local labor market conditions.

Contractors bidding on covered projects must incorporate these prevailing wage rates into their cost proposals and are prohibited from paying workers less than the rates specified in the wage determination. Failure to comply with prevailing wage requirements can result in penalties, contract termination, and debarment from future federal contracts. The fringe benefit amounts are separated from base wage rates and may include contributions to health insurance, retirement plans, and other worker benefits. These wage determinations are binding on all contractors and subcontractors working on eligible projects and serve as a baseline for contract pricing and labor cost budgeting throughout the project term.
