The document establishes prevailing wage requirements that apply to all construction workers and contractors engaged on this federally-funded project. These wage rates are mandatory compliance items for any contractor or construction management consultant performing work on the project, including construction laborers, equipment operators, and skilled trades personnel.

The wage rates contained in this document are federal prevailing wage rates effective for the 2026 fiscal year and must be adhered to by all parties performing construction or construction-related services on the Holly Street Bridge project. Contractors and the selected construction management consultant are required to pay workers in accordance with these federally-mandated rates as a condition of federal funding through the Highway Bridge Program. Non-compliance with these wage rate requirements can result in project delays, penalties, and potential debarment from federal contracts. The rates serve as a key compliance and cost consideration for bidders responding to the construction management solicitation and for any construction contracts that flow from this project.
