This is a wage rates exhibit document for the Texas Department of Public Safety's Hebbronville Security Fence project. The document establishes prevailing wage requirements that contractors and subcontractors must comply with under Texas Government Code Chapter 2258. The wage rates apply to all workers performing labor on the security fence installation project at the Hebbronville Area Office, including positions such as ironworkers, laborers, equipment operators, and other skilled trades necessary for the turnkey installation. These prevailing wage rates must be paid to all employees performing work on the project and represent the minimum compensation required regardless of union or non-union status. Contractors are responsible for ensuring compliance with all wage rate schedules outlined in the exhibit and must maintain documentation of wage payments throughout the contract performance period.

The prevailing wage rates establish binding compensation requirements that directly impact project costs and bidding strategy. All contractors submitting proposals for the Hebbronville Security Fence project must incorporate these wage rates into their bid pricing and budget estimates. The wage rates are mandatory and non-negotiable, as they are mandated by state law for public works projects. Compliance with prevailing wage requirements is a condition of contract award, and contractors must provide evidence of wage payment compliance during project execution. These rates ensure that workers on the project receive standardized compensation established by the state, affecting the overall project economics and requiring careful consideration in proposal development.
