About this file
This document is a Prevailing Wage Rate Schedule for the State of Michigan applicable to state-funded projects in Wexford County. The schedule establishes mandatory wage rates for various construction and skilled trade classifications, effective from late October 2025 through early November 2025. The rates apply to projects with a contract award date of May 23, 2026, and cover a comprehensive range of positions including power equipment operators, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, ironworkers, laborers, and numerous other skilled trades. Each classification includes separate wage tiers for journeyworkers and apprentices at various levels, with specific rates for straight time, time-and-a-half, and double-time compensation. The schedule also specifies work schedule flexibility, including whether four 10-hour days are permitted and whether make-up days are allowed for inclement weather or cancelled work.
Wage rates vary significantly across classifications and apprenticeship levels, reflecting the skill requirements and market conditions for each trade. Journeyworker rates range from $36.87 per hour for landscaping laborers to $110.76 per hour for specialized positions, while apprentice rates start as low as $24.57 per hour for sprinkler fitter trainees and scale upward with experience and skill progression. The prevailing wage requirements ensure that workers on state-funded projects receive standardized compensation regardless of contractor, thereby protecting labor standards and supporting consistent worker compensation across the construction industry in the Wexford County region. These rates are periodically updated and were sourced from the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity's Prevailing Wage database.
