The wage determination specifies prevailing wage rates for various heavy construction trades and occupations, with rates effective from different dates. Notable classifications include electricians (ranging from $31.75 to $46.80 per hour depending on county), line construction workers (lineman/welder at $61.36, line equipment operator at $44.27, groundmen at $27.39), power equipment operators (trackhoe at $35.20, motor grader blade-rough at $35.03, mechanic at $35.58), plumbers (ranging from $41.32 to $50.68 per hour), and laborers and carpenters. The determination includes detailed geographic subdivisions for certain classifications and notes that rates are based on union collective bargaining agreements, survey data, or state-adopted rates. Union rates are identified by four-letter codes (such as PLUM for Plumbers union rates), while survey rates use the SU designation, and state-adopted rates use the SA identifier. The document also references Executive Orders 13706 and 13658 regarding paid sick leave and minimum wage requirements for federal contractors. Appeals of the wage determination may be directed to the U.S. Department of Labor's Branch of Wage Surveys or the Administrative Review Board.
