Davis-Bacon teamster rate in Polk 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 the federal determinations split this trade into groups that don't line up with BOLI's. The federal rows for this trade are below; match the classification to the work.
