This is a General Wage Determination document for building construction projects in Grant and Rapides Counties, Louisiana, issued on 02/28/2025. The document provides prevailing wage rates for multiple construction trade classifications such as Asbestos Worker/Heat & Frost Insulator ($32.66/hour), Electrician ($28.00/hour), Power Equipment Operator ($23.46/hour), Ironworker ($34.75/hour), Painter ($18.83/hour), Plumber/Pipefitter ($33.30/hour), and Roofer ($23.04/hour). Each classification includes specific hourly rates and fringe benefits, and the document notes that contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act must generally pay at least the applicable minimum wage rate under Executive Order 14026 or Executive Order 13658. The wage determination applies to building construction projects (excluding single-family homes and apartments up to 4 stories) and specifies different wage requirements based on contract entry dates between 2015 and 2025.

The document also outlines a detailed wage determination appeals process, providing instructions for various scenarios including survey-related matters, initial decisions, and potential reconsideration requests. Interested parties can submit requests to different branches of the Wage and Hour Division at the U.S. Department of Labor in Washington, DC, depending on the specific type of wage determination matter. The wage rates are identified using specific codes that indicate whether the rates are union rates, survey rates, or state-adopted rates, with provisions for annual updates to reflect changes in collective bargaining agreements and survey data.
