The U.S. Department of Labor published 109 modifications to 105 of Ohio's Davis-Bacon wage determinations between May 18, 2026 and September 17, 2026 that changed, added or removed a rate. Across them, 1 rates went up, 1 went down, 3,745 rows were added and 195 removed.
From every revision of each WD on SAM.gov, compared row by row (rate identifier and classification) and read twice. 105 of these modifications are dated May 18, 2026, when DOL reissued most WDs. Totals are base plus fringe. A contract keeps the modification in its bid documents, so a later one only reaches new bids. Ohio Davis-Bacon rates by county

Which Ohio Davis-Bacon rate changed the most in 2026?
