Pile Driver prevailing wage, Hamilton County group, Ohio (15 counties)
DOL sets the same pile driver rates, row for row, in 15 counties: Brown, Butler, Champaign, Clark, Clermont, Clinton, Darke, Greene, Hamilton, Logan, Miami, Montgomery, Preble, Shelby and Warren. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.
$59.53an hour, base wage + fringe benefits (our sum)
$35.94 base wage + $23.59 fringe benefits · CARP0002-024
On federally funded or assisted highway and heavy construction in each of these 15 counties, a pile driver must be paid at least $59.53 an hour: a $35.94 base wage plus $23.59 in fringe benefits, under wage determination OH20260001 (modification 5). DOL prints no total, so $59.53 is our sum of the two.
Wage determination OH20260001, modification 5, published September 17, 2026, for highway and heavy construction; rate identifier CARP0002-024 (May 1, 2025). Checked against sam.gov on October 25, 2026.
Ohio also sets its own rates (ORC 4115, Department of Commerce); on jobs covered by both, pay the higher. Ohio's rates sit behind an OHID login on its prevailing wage portal, so this site shows the Davis-Bacon rates only.
DOL lists 2 pile driver rates for each of these counties, from $59.53 to $61.49 an hour. See all of them.
Base wage and fringe benefits: $35.94 + $23.59
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) | $35.94 |
| Fringe benefits (one figure, not itemized) | $23.59 |
| Base + fringe benefits (our sum; DOL prints no total) | $59.53 |
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 Ohio change log lists what each one changed.
