This is a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between Laborers Local 77 and applicable contractors for the period of 2022-2027, governing labor terms for projects in New Jersey. The agreement establishes wage rates, benefits, and working conditions for laborers employed on construction projects, including the Juvenile Detention Center HVAC & Roof Upgrades project in Ocean County. The CBA specifies hourly wage scales that increase annually over the five-year contract period, with rates varying based on job classification and experience level. The agreement outlines mandatory benefits including health insurance, pension contributions, annuity funds, and training fund payments that contractors must provide to union laborers. The document establishes apprenticeship requirements, work hour standards, and grievance procedures for labor disputes arising during project execution.

The CBA mandates specific contribution rates to various union funds, with total fringe benefit costs substantially increasing base hourly wages for all covered positions. The agreement includes provisions for overtime compensation, holiday pay, and travel time allowances for workers on projects outside their home territory. Contractors bidding on projects subject to this CBA must incorporate these wage and benefit costs into their proposals, as compliance is mandatory for any work utilizing union labor under Laborers Local 77 jurisdiction. The agreement addresses working conditions, tool allowances, and safety requirements, establishing the baseline labor cost structure that contractors must account for when estimating project budgets and preparing bids for the Ocean County Juvenile Detention Center improvements.
