Wage_Determinations_-_Building.pdf

This is a wage determination document for building construction work in Florida, specifically applicable to prevailing wage requirements under federal Davis-Bacon Act regulations. The document establishes mandatory wage rates for skilled trades and laborers working on federally-funded construction projects, including classifications such as carpenters, electricians, plumbers, ironworkers, operating engineers, and general laborers. These prevailing wage rates are indexed to specific job classifications and experience levels, with rates varying based on the type of work performed and geographical location within Florida. The wage determination serves as the binding standard for the New ECAT Facility Project, which involves infrastructure installation for an Administration Building, Bus Wash, Fuel Depot, and Maintenance Building in Pensacola, as this project is funded through Community Development Block Grant–Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) resources.

The prevailing wage rates outlined in this determination are mandatory for all contractors and subcontractors bidding on or performing work on the ECAT facility infrastructure project. Contractors must comply with these federally-established wage floors, which typically include base hourly rates plus fringe benefits such as health insurance, retirement contributions, and other statutory benefits. Non-compliance with prevailing wage requirements can result in significant penalties and contract default. The wage determination document serves as the primary reference tool for project cost estimation, bid preparation, and labor cost accountability throughout the project execution phase, ensuring that all workers on the federally-funded infrastructure work receive compensation meeting or exceeding the established minimum thresholds.
