Davis-Bacon operating engineer rate in New York City
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 NYC Comptroller's here, because the federal determinations split this trade into groups that don't line up with NYC Comptroller's. The federal rows for this trade are below; match the classification to the work.
