When was the project first advertised for bid? <br /> For purposes of compliance with Oregon's prevailing wage rate laws, the rates in effect at the time the bid <br /> specifications are first advertised are those that apply for the duration of the project. (See OAR 839-025- <br /> 0020(6) for information about projects using a CM/GC.} The applicable rates for purposes of compliance with <br /> the federal Davis-Bacon Act could be different than the applicable .state prevailing wage rates. The effective <br /> federal rates will be those as determined under 29 CFR 1.6. If you are unsure which federal rates apply to the <br /> project, you are encouraged to contact either the U.S. Department of Labor or the public agency associated <br /> <br /> { with the project. <br /> 2. What type of work is being performed by the employee? <br /> Using the booklet Definitions of Covered Occupations, find the definition that most closely matches the actual <br /> work being performed by the worker. If you have any questions about work classifications, contact BOLI at the <br /> number below. <br /> 3. Where is the work being performed -what county? <br /> Find the occupation in the correct county pages associated with the county where the project construction is <br /> taking place. <br /> 4. Is there a rate listed next to the classification? <br /> If so, use it. The prevailing wage rate is made up of an hourly base rate and an hourly fringe rate; it is the <br /> combination of these two amounts that must be paid to the worker. <br /> ~5. If the book directs you to "See Appendix-DB," go to the back of the book and use the rate listed in the <br /> Davis-Bacon Appendix pages. If the book directs you to "See Appendix-State," go to the back of the <br /> book and use the rate listed in the State Appendix pages. If the book states "SAME", refer to either <br /> the Davis-Bacon Appendix or the State Appendix. The rate may include a group number and/or zone pay. <br /> -Zone pay is added to the base rate. <br /> I <br /> Federal Davis-Bacon rates may be amended at any time.
