Davis-Bacon teamster rate in Calvert County
Federally funded or assisted construction here uses the U.S. Department of Labor's wage determinations. Maryland's law excludes the federally funded part of a contract that already pays Davis-Bacon rates (MD Labor FAQ).
We don't put a federal figure next to DOL's here, because the federal determinations split this trade into groups that don't line up with DOL's. The federal rows for this trade are below; match the classification to the work.
