Exhibit_N_-_HEAVY_Wage_Determination.pdf

This is a Wage Determination exhibit (Exhibit N) for the Volusia County Office of Recovery and Resiliency's CDBG-DR SMA Healthcare Ridgewood Flood Mitigation Construction project in Florida. The wage determination establishes prevailing wage rates applicable to construction services for flood mitigation improvements at the Ridgewood Healthcare facility, which is part of Volusia County's recovery efforts following Hurricane Ian damage in September 2022. The project is funded through a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant for Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR), which carries specific labor compliance requirements including prevailing wage obligations for covered construction workers.

The wage determination document establishes prevailing wage rates that contractors and subcontractors must pay to workers on this federally-funded recovery project. As a HUD CDBG-DR funded project, all construction work is subject to prevailing wage requirements, meaning contractors must compensate workers at rates determined by the Department of Labor or applicable state agencies. These prevailing wage rates apply to all laborers, mechanics, and other workers engaged in the construction activities and represent a material cost component for bidders to incorporate into their pricing proposals.
