Bricklayer prevailing wage, Dare County group, North Carolina (4 counties)
DOL sets the same bricklayer rates, row for row, in 4 counties: Chowan, Dare, Martin and Washington. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.
$28.11an hour, base wage + fringe benefits (our sum)
$19.38 base wage + $8.73 fringe benefits · SUNC2023-003
On federally funded or assisted building construction in each of these 4 counties, a bricklayer must be paid at least $28.11 an hour: a $19.38 base wage plus $8.73 in fringe benefits, under wage determination NC20260065 (modification 1). DOL prints no total, so $28.11 is our sum of the two.
Wage determination NC20260065, modification 1, published May 18, 2026, for building construction; rate identifier SUNC2023-003 (August 26, 2011). Checked against sam.gov on October 25, 2026.
Davis-Bacon is the only prevailing wage here (federally funded or assisted work). North Carolina has no state prevailing wage law (DOL state table).
Base wage and fringe benefits: $19.38 + $8.73
The base wage is the taxable hourly wage. DOL prints the fringe benefits as one hourly figure, not itemized; it can go to health, pension, vacation and training plans, or be paid as cash where the state allows.
| Base wage (taxable) | $19.38 |
| Fringe benefits (one figure, not itemized) | $8.73 |
| Base + fringe benefits (our sum; DOL prints no total) | $28.11 |
When does this rate change?
- A contract keeps the wage determination in its bid documents. Modifications published before bid opening apply to it, though one published less than 10 days before can be left out if the agency finds there isn't time to tell bidders (29 CFR 1.6(c)).
- DOL changes a WD by publishing a numbered modification on SAM.gov. This page reads the modification named in the Source line; the North Carolina change log lists what each one changed.
