A contractor can pay it all as wages, or pay part as contributions to bona fide benefit plans for the worker, as long as the two add up to at least $96.37. Labor Commissioner doesn't publish a base and fringe split, so this page doesn't invent one.

Davis-Bacon sheet metal worker rate in Esmeralda County
Federally funded or assisted construction here uses the U.S. Department of Labor's wage determinations. When a contract requires both the state rate and the Davis-Bacon rate, paying the higher of the two meets both. The contract documents say which apply.
We don't put a federal figure next to Labor Commissioner's here, because the federal determination for this county has no matching classification. The federal rows for this trade are below; match the classification to the work.
