How do I get a special prevailing wage determination for my Alabama Davis-Bacon project?

Alabama Special Prevailing Wage Determinations should be requested from the federal Wage and Hour Division by the Contracting Officer or Agency.  Please be advised that the Davis-Bacon & Related Act provisions contain a conformance procedure for the purpose of establishing an enforceable wage and benefit rate for missing/unlisted classifications.

• • To request a project wage determination, a Standard Form 308 (SF-308) “Request for Determination and Response to Request” should be used by the agency (normally a federal agency).  The completed SF-308 should be sent to:  U.S. Department of Labor, Employment Standards Administration, Wage and Hour Division, Branch of Construction Wage Determinations, Washington, D.C. 20210.
  • Project decisions are applicable only to the particular project for which they are issued and are effective for 180 days. If a 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.
