How can I obtain a Special Prevailing Wage Determination for my North Carolina Davis-Bacon project?

Your North Carolina Davis-Bacon project request for a Special Prevailing Wage Determinations should be requested from the federal Wage and Hour Division by either the officer or Contracting Agency.  In order to establish an enforceable benefit rate and wage for missing/unlisted classifications, Davis-Bacon & Related Acts provisions contain a conformance procedure.

• • A Standard Form 308 (SF-308) “Request for Determination and Response to Request” should be used by the agency (normally a federal agency) to request the Wage Determination for your project. The completed SF-308 needs to be sent to:  U.S. Department of Labor, Employment Standards Administration, Wage and Hour Division, Branch of Construction Wage Determinations, Washington, D.C. 20210.

Please Note: Project decisions are effective for 180 days and are applicable only to the particular project for which they are issued. If the project decision is not used in the period of its effectiveness, it is void. The contractor must initiate the request by submitting a Request for Authorization of Additional Classification and Rate (SF1444) to the Contracting Officer or Agency.
