This is a Heavy Wage Determination exhibit prepared by the U.S. Department of Labor for the City of New Smyrna Beach Corbin Park Stormwater Improvements Construction project in Volusia County, Florida, a CDBG-DR funded initiative. The document establishes prevailing wage rates applicable to laborers and mechanics employed on this federally assisted construction project in accordance with the Davis-Bacon Act. The project involves stormwater management infrastructure improvements including installation of storm drainage pipes ranging from 12 to 48 inches in diameter, storm structures, inlets, and manholes across approximately 8,600 linear feet of Corbin Park Road and interconnected local roadways. The non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for December 1, 2025, at 3:00 pm with virtual attendance available via Microsoft Teams. Bidders must submit questions electronically through the County's eProcurement Portal by December 9, 2025, at 11:59 pm, with bid submissions due December 23, 2025, at 3:01 pm. The project requires substantial completion within 600 days with final completion 30 days thereafter.

The wage determination establishes the minimum hourly rates that must be paid to workers on this project, enforced under federal labor standards. The estimated total construction cost is $8,451,220, to be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Contractors must comply with Section 3 requirements, allocating 25 percent of total labor hours to Section 3 workers and 5 percent to Targeted Section 3 workers. A 5 percent bid bond is required, along with Payment and Performance Bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract price. Additional mandatory requirements include E-Verify registration, comprehensive insurance coverage, weekly certified payroll reporting, and Copeland Act anti-kickback compliance. Liquidated damages are assessed at $3,813 per day for delays beyond the substantial completion date, with the prime contractor held responsible for wage compliance enforcement and potential liability for wage restitution throughout the project duration.
