Main insulator classification in each county (Asbestos worker/heat & frost insulator), Davis-Bacon wage determinations on SAM.gov, as of October 25, 2026. A contract keeps the wage determination in its bid documents. Modifications published before bid opening apply to it, though one published less than 10 days before can be left out if the agency finds there isn't time to tell bidders (29 CFR 1.6(c)).

Questions about Kentucky insulator pay

What is the insulator prevailing wage in Jefferson County?

$39.50 an hour: a $26.83 base wage plus $12.67 in fringe benefits, under wage determination KY20260093, modification 1. Overtime and every insulator classification in Jefferson County.

Does insulator prevailing wage include fringe benefits?

Yes. In Jefferson County the $39.50 total is a $26.83 base wage plus $12.67 in fringe benefits, about 32% of the total. The employer owes the full amount for every hour worked.

Does insulator prevailing wage pay overtime in Kentucky?

Davis-Bacon rates are straight time. On contracts over $100,000, the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act requires 1½ times the basic rate for hours over 40 in a workweek (40 U.S.C. 3702). The fringe is owed for every hour at its straight-time amount.

Do apprentice insulators get this rate?

Davis-Bacon determinations list journeyworker rates. Apprentices in a program registered with DOL or a recognized state agency can be paid the program's percentage of the rate, within its ratio; anyone else gets the full rate (29 CFR 5.5(a)(4)).

Why do some counties have the same insulator rate?

DOL often publishes the same insulator rates for several counties. Across Kentucky, the 119 counties with an insulator rate fall into 44 distinct sets of rates, and 13 of those sets are shared by more than one county; the largest covers 17 counties (the Floyd County group).
