subject to the Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is
awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after
January 1, 2017 . If this contract is covered by the FCC,
the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid
sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of

information on contractor requirements and worker
protections under the E0 is available at
www.dol .gov/whd/govcontracts .
Unlisted classifications needed for work not included
within the scope of the classifications listed may be added
after award only as provided in the labor standards
contract clauses (29CFR 5 . 5 (a) (1 ) (ii) ) .
--------------------------------- ------------------------
The body of each wage determination lists the
classification and wage rates that have been found to be
prevailing for the cited type (s) of construction in the
area covered by the wage determination . The classifications
are listed in alphabetical order of ""'identifiers"" that
indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate
(current union negotiated rate for local) , a survey rate
(weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted
union average rate) .
Union Rate Identifiers
A four letter classification abbreviation identifier
enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other
than ""Su" " or ""UAVG"" denotes that the union
classification and rate were prevailing for that
Page 34 of 37
classification in the survey. Exas plea PLUM0198-005
07/01/2014 . PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union
which prevailed in the survey for this classification,
which in this example would be Plumbers . 0198 indicates the
local union number or district council number where
applicable, i . e. , Plumbers Local 0198 . The next number, 005
in the example, is an internal number used in processing
the wage determination . 07/01/2�014 is the effective date of
the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is
July 1, 2014 .
Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate
changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA)
governing this classification and rate .
Survey Rate Identifiers
Classifications listed under the ""SU"" identifier indicate
that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the
survey and the published rate is derived by computing a
weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in
the survey for that classification . As this weighted
average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it
may include both union and non-union rates . Example :
SULA2012-007 5,/13/2014 . SU indicates the rates are survey
rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and
are not majority rates . LA indicates the State of
Louisiana . 2012 is the year of survey on which these
classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007
in the example, is an internal number used in producing the
wage determination . 5/13/2014 indicates the survey
completion date for the classifications and rates under
that identifier .
Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect
until a new survey is conducted.
Union Average Rate Identifiers,
Classification (s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate
that no single majority rate prevailed for those
classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the
classifications was union data . EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010
08/29/2014 . UAV G indicates that the rate is a weighted
Page 35 of 37
union average rate . OH indicates the state. The next
number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in
producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the
survey completion date for the classifications and rates
under that identifier.
A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January
of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current
negotiated/CIA rate of the union 'Locals from which the rate
is based,
-----------------------------------------------------------
