Wage_Determinations_-_Highway.pdf

This is a Wage Determinations document for highway projects in Florida, establishing prevailing wage requirements for laborers and mechanics employed on public works projects. The document outlines minimum hourly wage rates, fringe benefits, and classification requirements for various trades and skill levels involved in highway construction and infrastructure work. Wage rates are specified by county and trade classification, including positions such as laborers, equipment operators, carpenters, electricians, and other skilled trades. These determinations apply to projects funded with federal dollars or subject to prevailing wage laws, ensuring that workers on covered projects receive standardized compensation. The rates are updated periodically to reflect current market conditions and are mandatory for all contractors bidding on or performing work on eligible public works projects.

The wage determinations serve as binding requirements for contractors working on the New ECAT Facility Project infrastructure installation in Escambia County, Florida. Any licensed Underground or Utility Contractor hired for this CDBG-DR funded project must comply with the established wage rates when compensating laborers and mechanics. These prevailing wage requirements ensure consistent labor cost projections during the bidding process and protect worker compensation standards across public infrastructure projects. Contractors must factor these mandated wage rates into their project cost estimates when submitting bids for the critical infrastructure installation supporting the Administration Building, Bus Wash, Fuel Depot, and Maintenance Building facility.
