The wage determination applies to building construction across 15 Kentucky counties (Ballard, Breckinridge, Caldwell, Carlisle, Crittenden, Fulton, Graves, Grayson, Hickman, Livingston, Lyon, Muhlenberg, Ohio, Todd, and Union) plus Ohio. The document establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for 47 construction classifications, including asbestos workers, boilermakers, bricklayers, carpenters (multiple specialties), electricians, equipment operators (crane, forklift), ironworkers, laborers (multiple types), painters, glaziers, plumbers, sheet metal workers, sprinkler fitters, truck drivers, and elevator mechanics.

The document notes that unlisted classifications may be added post-award per labor standards contract clauses, and includes guidance on union rate identifiers, survey rates, and state-adopted rates. It also provides the wage determination appeals process, directing initial inquiries to the WHD Branch of Wage Surveys and subsequent appeals to either the Wage and Hour Administrator or the Administrative Review Board.
