OMB-MC1002001091-wages.pdf

This is a wage determination document issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for prevailing wage compliance purposes. The document establishes prevailing wage rates applicable to federal contracts and federally-assisted construction projects. It provides detailed wage schedules for various classifications of workers across different trades and occupations, including but not limited to laborers, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, operators, and other skilled trades. The wage rates are geographically specific and designed to ensure that workers on covered projects receive compensation consistent with local prevailing wage standards. The document serves as the baseline requirement for any state and local contract opportunity that incorporates federal funding or falls under prevailing wage obligations, establishing minimum hourly rates, fringe benefits, and other compensation requirements that must be met by contractors and subcontractors.

The prevailing wage rates outlined in this determination are mandatory for all covered workers on applicable projects and must be included in contract solicitations, bid documents, and final contract awards. Contractors are required to pay workers at or above the specified rates for their respective classifications, with rates typically including both base wages and fringe benefits such as health insurance, retirement contributions, and other mandated benefits. This wage determination applies to workers performing work on the project site and establishes the minimum compensation structure that bidders must account for in their cost proposals. Compliance with these prevailing wage requirements is a condition of contract performance, and contractors must maintain payroll records and certified statements of wage compliance throughout the contract term.
