Davis-Bacon electrician rate in Tioga 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 determination lists more than one rate for this trade here. The federal rows for this trade are below; match the classification to the work.
