About this file
This is a Connecticut prevailing wage rate document applicable to residential construction projects in New Haven County towns, effective July 1, 2025. The file establishes mandatory hourly wage and benefit rates for various skilled trades and labor classifications working on projects in Wallingford, Waterbury, and West Haven. Rates vary by trade classification and include positions such as electricians, plumbers, carpenters, sheet metal mechanics, surveyors, power equipment operators, and general laborers. Hourly rates range from approximately $25.24 to $66.72, with benefit rates varying from $10.10 to $44.38 per hour depending on the specific trade and town designation. The document specifies trade license requirements for certain classifications, including electricians, plumbers, sheet metal mechanics, sprinkler fitters, and elevator mechanics. Equipment operator classifications are extensively detailed with precise definitions of machinery types and capacity thresholds that determine wage tier placement.
The prevailing wage requirements mandate that all contractors and subcontractors comply with these established rates for any covered work in the specified New Haven County municipalities. Certain classifications note additional requirements or premiums, such as a $3.00 premium for pile driver operators when controlling the hammer, and percentage-based calculations for specific trades. The document includes notations indicating some rates include variable components marked as "a" and "b," suggesting adjustments or supplemental payments may apply. These wage rates are mandatory minimums for all workers in these classifications and serve as binding compensation requirements for public and prevailing wage projects undertaken in Connecticut's New Haven County jurisdictions.
