About this file
This document is a Prevailing Wage Rates System schedule established by the State of Connecticut as of July 1, 2025, applicable to New Haven County. The schedule establishes hourly wage rates and hourly benefit rates for various classifications of workers across multiple trade sectors including construction, heavy equipment operation, line construction, outside line construction, communication, and dredging. The rates apply to projects subject to prevailing wage requirements and are categorized by skilled trades (boilermakers, electricians, plumbers, ironworkers, carpenters, painters), laborers (general laborers, equipment operators, truck drivers), and specialized workers (surveyors, linemen, dredging operators). No specific response dates, bidders' meetings, award dates, or contract terms are identified in this document, as it serves as a reference schedule rather than a solicitation document.
The prevailing wage rates range from $21.42 per hour for traffic control signalmen to $67.52 per hour for divers (effluent), with corresponding hourly benefit rates varying from $13.91 to $43.62 plus three percent of gross wages. These rates are mandatory for all public works projects and construction contracts in New Haven County subject to Connecticut's prevailing wage laws. The rates establish compensation floors for both hourly wages and fringe benefits, which may include health insurance, pension contributions, and other employer-sponsored benefits as specified for each classification. The document provides no information regarding specific project funding sources, set-asides, or contract incumbents, functioning instead as the regulatory wage scale to be applied to public construction projects such as the Emergency Demolition of 306 Dixwell Avenue referenced in the related contract opportunity.
