Davis-Bacon teamster rate in Otsego 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 NYSDOL's here, because the federal determinations split this trade into groups that don't line up with NYSDOL's. The federal rows for this trade are below; match the classification to the work.
| Construction | Federal classification | Base wage | Total rate | WD |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Highway, Heavy | TRUCK DRIVER GROUP 1 PICKUPS, PANEL TRUCKS, FLATBOY MATERIAL TRUCKS (STRAIGHT JOBS), SINGLE-AXLE DUMP TRUCKS, DUPSTERS, RECEIVERS, GREASERS, TRUCK TIREMEN, …TEAM0317-003 | $35.48 | $67.06 | NY20260037 Mod 3 |
