On Connecticut public works in Ridgefield, a teamster working as block truck must be paid at least $72.98 an hour: a $39.98 base wage plus $33.00 in benefits. CTDOL prints no total, so $72.98 is our sum of the two.
CTDOL schedules as of July 1, 2026; this rate, effective July 1, 2026. Rates are not fixed for the life of a contract: contractors must adjust wages and benefits every July 1 to CTDOL's new rates (CGS § 31-55a, as amended by PA 25-168). Checked against portal.ct.gov on October 25, 2026.
CTDOL lists 28 teamster rates for Ridgefield, from $69.16 to $74.16 an hour. See all of them.
CTDOL's online rates are informational. The contracting agency gets a project schedule from CTDOL before advertising, and that schedule, in the bid documents, is the one that applies.
- Benefit printed with “+ a”: extra paid holidays or vacation defined in CTDOL's Footnotes sheet.
Base wage and fringe benefits: $39.98 + $33.00
The base wage is the taxable hourly wage. CTDOL prints the benefits as one hourly figure, not itemized; it can go to health, pension, vacation and training plans, or be paid as cash where the state allows.
| Base wage (taxable) | $39.98 |
| Fringe benefits (one figure, not itemized) | $33.00 |
| Base + benefits (our sum; CTDOL prints no total) | $72.98 |
When does this rate change?
- Connecticut re-rates contracts already under way. Each contractor must check with the Labor Commissioner by July 1 every year and adjust wages and benefits effective each July 1 (CGS § 31-55a, as amended by PA 25-168).
- This page uses CTDOL's schedules "As of: July 1, 2026". CTDOL can replace a schedule during the year to correct it; the Building schedule now carries a Bricklayers Zone A and B fringe correction (CTDOL prevailing wage).

Davis-Bacon teamster rate in Ridgefield
Federally funded or assisted construction here uses the U.S. Department of Labor's wage determinations. When a contract requires both the state rate and the Davis-Bacon rate, paying the higher of the two meets both. The contract documents say which apply.
We don't put a federal figure next to CTDOL's here, because the federal determinations split this trade into groups that don't line up with CTDOL's. The federal rows for this trade are below; match the classification to the work.
