Section 6-7 - Computation of Base Wage Rate

The base wage rate shall be computed according to the formula and considerations set forth below:

(a) The rate of wages paid in the locality in which the work is to be performed, to the majority of those employed in that classification in construction in the locality similar to the proposed undertaking. A distinction shall be recognized, based on area practice within the State, between Building Construction and Heavy and Highway Construction, and the job classifications typically associated with them.

(b) When fifty percent (50%) or more of those employed in a classification are paid at the same rate, that rate shall be the base wage rate for that job classification.

(c) In the event that not more than fifty percent (50%) of employees in a classification are paid at the same rate, then the rate paid to the greater number shall be used. The greater number must be at least thirty percent (30%) of those employed.

(d) In the event that the thirty percent (30%) threshold of Subsection(c) above is not met, then an average rate shall be used. The average rate for each classification in a locality shall be the rate obtained by:

  • (i) Adding the hourly rates paid to all workers in the classification and dividing by the total number of such workers.
