Davis-Bacon teamster rate in York County
Federally funded or assisted construction here uses the U.S. Department of Labor's wage determinations. Maine's law excludes projects under Davis-Bacon with federally set rates, so a job uses one schedule or the other (26 M.R.S. 1304).
We don't put a federal figure next to MDOL's here, because the federal determinations split this trade into groups that don't line up with MDOL's. The federal rows for this trade are below; match the classification to the work.
