Summary of OMB-MC5508000005A-WAGES.pdf

This is a wage determination document issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) applicable to the Transportation Management Center Cooling Tower Replacement project in Delaware. The document establishes prevailing wage requirements for workers employed on this state and local contract opportunity. The wage determination sets forth the minimum hourly rates, including base wages and fringe benefits, that must be paid to various classifications of workers performing labor on the project. These prevailing wage rates are mandatory for all contractors and subcontractors engaged in the work and apply throughout the duration of the contract performance.

The wage rates specified in this determination are based on the prevailing wage standards for the geographic area and industry classification relevant to the cooling tower replacement project. All contractors bidding on or executing work under this contract opportunity must comply with the established wage scales and provide documentation of worker compensation at or above the prescribed rates. The prevailing wage requirements ensure that workers on publicly-funded projects receive compensation consistent with area standards and protect against wage suppression on state and local contract opportunities.
