Building_Construction_Wage_Determination_5.18.26.pdf

This is a Building Construction Wage Determination document issued by the State of Florida for prevailing wage compliance purposes related to the CDBG-DR New Century Community Shelter Project, Phase 1 - Selective Demolition. The document establishes mandatory wage rates that contractors and subcontractors must pay workers engaged in construction activities on this federally-funded project. The wage determination applies to the selective demolition and site preparation phase of the Century Community Shelter Project, which precedes the subsequent new construction phase to be procured separately. All workers performing construction labor on this project, including demolition workers, equipment operators, and related trades, must be compensated at the prevailing wage rates specified in this determination to ensure compliance with federal Davis-Bacon wage requirements applicable to projects utilizing Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funding.

The prevailing wage rates outlined in this determination are binding on all contractors bidding on Phase 1 of the project and represent the minimum compensation required for various construction classifications and skill levels. These rates are established by the Department of Labor or the applicable state agency to protect construction workers and maintain labor standards on government-funded projects. Contractors must factor these mandatory wage rates into their bid pricing, as compliance with prevailing wage requirements is non-negotiable and failure to pay the specified rates constitutes a material breach of the contract. The document serves as the official wage determination reference that must be incorporated into all bid documents and construction contracts for the demolition phase of the project.
