This document is a Prevailing Wage Schedule establishing wage and fringe benefit requirements for drywall work in Ocean County, New Jersey, for the period 2022-2025. The schedule applies to the County of Ocean's Juvenile Detention Center HVAC & Roof Upgrades project and governs compensation for drywall mechanics and related workers. The prevailing wage rates are mandated by the Davis-Bacon Act and New Jersey prevailing wage laws and must be paid to all workers performing drywall installation, repair, and finishing work on the project. The wage classifications include rates for drywall mechanics, drywall apprentices, and laborers engaged in drywall-related tasks. Rates are specified on an hourly basis and include base wage and fringe benefit components.

The prevailing wage requirements are effective through 2025 and establish minimum compensation standards that the contractor must incorporate into project labor costs and bid pricing. All workers on the project performing drywall work must be compensated at or above the specified rates regardless of union affiliation, though the rates reflect union-negotiated standards. These prevailing wage requirements are non-negotiable conditions of contract performance and must be maintained throughout the project term. Contractors must document worker classifications, hours, and wage payments to demonstrate compliance with prevailing wage obligations.
