How do I obtain a Special Prevailing Wage Determination for my Davis-Bacon project in North Dakota?

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

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

It is very important to remember that project decisions are effective for 180 days and are applicable only to the particular project for which they are issued.  For example, if the project decision is not used in the period of its effectiveness, it is void. The contractor must initiate the request to the Agency or Contracting Officer by submitting a Request for Authorization of Additional Classification and Rate (SF1444).
