Full determination, counties covered, and modification history for VA20260001

A classification that is not printed on the determination is not priced by it. The published route for adding one is a conformance request to the contracting officer, not an estimate.

Price the classifications you are bidding

Pick the determination, tick the classifications you carry, enter your hours, and get a dated basis document: the determination number, the modification number, the publication date, the counties covered, the premium-pay footnotes attached to each classification you priced, and the extended cost at your hours.

This page covers federal Davis-Bacon general wage determinations only. State prevailing-wage programmes and Service Contract Act determinations are published separately and are not included here.

The Department of Labor republishes determinations under new modification numbers. This page shows the modification named above; check the source before relying on these rates in a bid.

Which determination, construction type, and classification apply to a particular contract depends on facts specific to that contract. This page states what the published determination says; confirm applicability with your contracting officer.
