Since Florida is a Davis-Bacon state, it is governed by federal Davis Bacon rules. As such, the Prevailing Wages are good for the life of the projects and determinations have no pre-determined increases. Nevertheless, the awarding body in Florida can request special determinations on a per project basis (this process takes at least 30 days). These determinations are DBRA job specific and could contain pre-determined increases. These special determinations will be provided to the Florida contractors by the contracting agency or awarding body.
