Davis-Bacon elevator constructor rate in Torrance 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 DWS'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.
