About this file
This document is a Prevailing Wage Rates schedule for State of Michigan-funded projects applicable to Van Buren County. The schedule establishes mandatory wage rates for construction workers across numerous trade classifications, effective November 2025. The rates apply to building construction and renovation projects, including the MCS Middle School Additions & Renovations project. The wage schedule covers over 40 trade classifications, including power equipment operators, truck drivers, boilermakers, bricklayers, carpenters, electricians, ironworkers, laborers, painters, plumbers, roofers, sheet metal workers, and sprinkler fitters, among others. Each classification includes separate rates for journeyworkers and apprentices at various experience levels. The schedule is updated periodically, with most rates effective October or November 2025, and some classifications updated into early 2026.
The prevailing wage rates establish straight time, time-and-a-half, and double-time compensation for each trade classification and apprenticeship level. Journeyworker wages range from approximately $36.87 per hour for landscaping laborers to $110.76 per hour for elevator constructors. Apprentice wages vary significantly based on experience level, with first-level apprentices earning substantially less than journeyworkers, typically ranging from 50 to 70 percent of journeyworker rates. The schedule permits four 10-hour workdays for most classifications, with makeup day provisions varying by trade. The rates are mandatory for all contractors and subcontractors on State of Michigan-funded projects and must be paid regardless of union or non-union status. Specific jurisdictional variations are noted for certain trades, such as Sheet Metal Workers, which have different rates for Covert Township, South Haven Township, and South Haven City compared to other Van Buren County locations.
