IV. Davis-Bacon Wage Surveys

How are prevailing wage rates calculated?

We first determine if more than 50 percent of the workers in a single classification are paid the union wage rate or the same wage rate.  If so, then the union or same wage rate prevails for that classification.  If not, a weighted average wage rate is calculated.
