Davis-Bacon laborer rate in Grant County
Federally funded or assisted construction here uses the U.S. Department of Labor's wage determinations. On projects that are also federal, Oregon requires the higher of the state and the federal rate, and the specifications must contain both (ORS 279C.830, 279C.838).
We don't put a federal figure next to BOLI's here, because this page leads with a classification the federal determinations don't list one to one. The federal rows for this trade are below; match the classification to the work.
