About this file
This is a Prevailing Wage Rates document issued by the State of Maryland, Division of Labor and Industry, applicable to Charles County Highway Construction projects as of September 14, 2026. The document establishes mandatory wage and fringe benefit rates for various construction classifications on public works projects, including skilled trades such as electricians, ironworkers, and mechanical systems technicians, as well as laborers in specialized roles (asphalt raker, concrete tender, flagger, jackhammer operator, etc.) and equipment operators (crane, broom sweeper, roller, skid steer, truck drivers). The prevailing wage rates listed are informational only and subject to change prior to contract award, requiring verification with the public body before project completion. The rates apply specifically to public works contracts exceeding $250,000 where either state government or state instrumentality funding exists, or where a political subdivision receives 25% or more state funding.
The wage rates are derived from Maryland's annual Wage Survey conducted by the Commissioner of Labor & Industry and reflect modifications through Commissioners' Review (CR), Annual Determination (AD), Commissioners' Hearing (CH), or Survey Review (SR) processes. Hourly rates vary significantly by classification, ranging from $21.45 for Power Equipment Operator-Roller (Asphalt) to $54.17 for Electrician, with corresponding fringe benefit payments ranging from $4.16 to $24.61 per hour. The document references borrowing rates from other Maryland counties using FIPS codes where applicable. Contractors and interested parties are encouraged to register with the Prevailing Wage Unit mailing list to receive updated wage determinations and survey notices. Incidental craft operations such as welding, caulking, scaffolding, and rigging follow the wage rates prescribed for the primary craft performing the work.
