$16.00an hour, base wage + fringe benefits (our sum)
$16.00 base wage + $0.00 fringe benefits · Residential · SUKY2010-037
On federally funded or assisted residential construction in each of these 27 counties, a refrigeration and air conditioning mechanic must be paid at least $16.00 an hour: a $16.00 base wage plus $0.00 in fringe benefits, under wage determination KY20260003 (modification 1). DOL prints no total, so $16.00 is our sum of the two.
Wage determination KY20260003, modification 1, published May 18, 2026, for residential construction; rate identifier SUKY2010-037 (July 21, 2010). 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 Kentucky repealed its law in 2017 (HB 3), which also bars local prevailing wage rules (17RS HB 3).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: $16.00 + $0.00
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.
| Base wage (taxable) | $16.00 |
| Base + fringe benefits (our sum; DOL prints no total) | $16.00 |
When does this rate change?
- 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)).
- DOL changes a WD by publishing a numbered modification on SAM.gov. This page reads the modification named in the Source line; the Kentucky change log lists what each one changed.
