About this file

This is a Prevailing Wage Rate Schedule issued by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development for a leachate removal project administered by the Norfolk Department of Public Works. The project involves furnishing all labor and equipment to remove and dispose of leachate from the leachate tank located at the rear of the landfill at 33 Medway Branch, Norfolk, Massachusetts. The wage schedule became effective on July 14, 2026, and applies exclusively to this specific project as identified by Wage Request Number 20260713161747. The schedule establishes prevailing wage rates for various equipment operators, drivers, laborers, and specialized positions that will remain in effect for the duration of the project, with annual updates required for multi-year contracts no later than two weeks before each contract anniversary date.

The prevailing wage rates specified in this schedule must be paid to all employees performing construction work on the project, whether employed by the prime contractor, filed sub-bidders, or subcontractors. Rates vary by classification and effective date, ranging from approximately $32.66 to $127.24 per hour in total compensation, which includes base wage, health insurance, pension, annuity, and supplemental unemployment benefits. Apprentices registered with the Massachusetts Division of Apprentice Standards may be paid lower rates based on their step level and percentage of journeyworker wages, with apprentice-to-journeyworker ratios established by the Division of Apprenticeship Training. All contractors and subcontractors are required to submit weekly payroll reports directly to the awarding authority documenting employee names, addresses, occupational classifications, hours worked, and wages paid, maintaining records for three years. Failure to comply with these prevailing wage requirements subjects contractors to civil and criminal penalties, with employees able to file complaints with the Fair Labor Division of the Office of the Attorney General.

Information about Prevailing Wage Schedules for Awarding Authorities and Contractors

The wage rates will remain in effect for the duration of the project, except in the case of multi-year public construction projects. For construction projects lasting longer than one year, awarding authorities must request an updated wage schedule no later than two weeks before the anniversary of the date the contract was executed by the awarding authority and the general contractor. For multi-year CM AT RISK projects, the awarding authority must request an annual update no later than two weeks before the anniversary date, determined as the earlier of: (a) the execution date of the GMP Amendment, or (b) the execution date of the first amendment to permit procurement of construction services. The updated wage schedule must be provided to all contractors, including general and sub-contractors, working on the construction project.

This annual update requirement is generally not applicable to 27F “rental of equipment” contracts. For such contracts, the prevailing wage rates issued by DLS shall remain in effect for the duration of the contract term. However, if the prevailing wage rate sheet issued does not contain wage rates for each year covered by the contract term, the Awarding Authority must request updated rate sheets from DLS and provide them to the contractor to ensure the correct rates are being paid throughout the duration of the contract. Additionally, if an Awarding Authority exercises an option to renew or extend the contract term, they must request updated rate sheets form DLS and provide them to the contractor.

This wage schedule applies only to the specific project referenced at the top of this page and uniquely identified by the “Wage Request Number” on all pages of this schedule.

An Awarding Authority must request an updated wage schedule if it has not opened bids or selected a contractor within 90 days of the date of issuance of the wage schedule. For CM AT RISK projects (bid pursuant to G.L. c.149A), the earlier of: (a) the execution date of the GMP Amendment, or (b) the bid for the first construction scope of work must be within 90-days of the wage schedule issuance date.

The wage schedule shall be incorporated in any advertisement or call for bids for the project as required by M.G.L. c. 149, § 27. The wage schedule shall be made a part of the contract awarded for the project. The wage schedule must be posted in a conspicuous place at the work site for the life of the project in accordance with M.G.L. c. 149 § 27. The wages listed on the wage schedule must be paid to employees performing construction work on the project whether they are employed by the prime contractor, a filed sub-bidder, or a sub-contractor.

Apprentices working on the project are required to be registered with the Massachusetts Division of Apprentice Standards (DAS). Apprentices must keep their apprentice identification card on their persons during all work hours on the project. An apprentice registered with DAS may be paid the lower apprentice wage rate at the applicable step as provided on the prevailing wage schedule. Any apprentice not registered with DAS regardless of whether they are registered with another federal, state, local, or private agency must be paid the journeyworker's rate.

Every contractor or subcontractor working on the construction project must submit weekly payroll reports and a Statement of Compliance directly to the awarding authority by mail or email and keep them on file for three years. Each weekly payroll report must contain: the employee’s name, address, occupational classification, hours worked, and wages paid. Do not submit weekly payroll reports to DLS. For a sample payroll reporting form go to http://www.mass.gov/dols/pw.

Contractors with questions about the wage rates or classifications included on the wage schedule have an affirmative obligation to inquire with DLS at (617)

626-6953.

Contractors must obtain the wage schedules from awarding authorities. Failure of a contractor or subcontractor to pay the prevailing wage rates listed on the wage schedule to all employees who perform construction work on the project is a violation of the law and subjects the contractor or subcontractor to civil and criminal penalties.

Employees not receiving the prevailing wage rate set forth on the wage schedule may file a complaint with the Fair Labor Division of the office of the Attorney

General at (617) 727-3465.

Additional Apprentice Information

All apprentices must be registered with the Division of Apprenticeship Training(DAS) in accordance with M.G.L.c. 23, §§ 11E-11L. Minimum wage rates for apprentices employed on public works projects are listed above as a percentage of the hourly prevailing wage rate established by the Commissioner under the provisions of M.G.L.c. 149, §§ 26-27D.

Apprentice ratios are established by DAS pursuant to M.G.L.c. 23, §§ 11E-11L.
