Insulator (Heat & Frost / Asbestos Worker) prevailing wage, Boyle County group, Kentucky (16 counties)

DOL sets the same insulator rates, row for row, in 16 counties: Anderson, Bath, Boyle, Estill, Fleming, Garrard, Harrison, Lewis, Lincoln, Menifee, Nicholas, Owen, Powell, Robertson, Rockcastle and Washington. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.

$50.89an hour, base wage + fringe benefits (our sum)

$30.00 base wage + $20.89 fringe benefits · ASBE0051-001

On federally funded or assisted building construction in each of these 16 counties, an insulator must be paid at least $50.89 an hour: a $30.00 base wage plus $20.89 in fringe benefits, under wage determination KY20260018 (modification 1). DOL prints no total, so $50.89 is our sum of the two.

Wage determination KY20260018, modification 1, published May 18, 2026, for building construction; rate identifier ASBE0051-001 (March 1, 2025). Checked against sam.gov on October 25, 2026.

Davis-Bacon is the only prevailing wage here (federally funded or assisted work). Kentucky repealed its law in 2017 (HB 3), which also bars local prevailing wage rules (17RS HB 3).

Base wage and fringe benefits: $30.00 + $20.89

The base wage is the taxable hourly wage. DOL prints the fringe 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.
