Bricklayer prevailing wage, Lancaster County group, Pennsylvania (2 counties)
L&I sets the same bricklayer rates, row for row, in 2 counties: Lancaster and York. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.
$62.00an hour, base wage + fringe benefits
$40.49 base wage + $21.51 fringe benefits
On Pennsylvania public works in each of these 2 counties, a bricklayer must be paid at least $62.00 an hour: a $40.49 base wage plus $21.51 in fringe benefits.
PPWS county schedules from each county's newest determination (Oct 25, 2026); this rate, effective May 3, 2026. Rates are set per project: the public body gets a determination before bidding, and once the contract is signed its rates "shall not be altered" while it is in force (Act § 4). A determination must be re-requested if the contract isn't awarded within 120 days (34 Pa. Code 9.104(a)). Checked against dliweb.pa.gov on October 25, 2026.
Pennsylvania publishes no county rate schedule. These are the rates printed in each county's newest project determination; the binding rates for a job are the ones in that job's own determination.
Base wage and fringe benefits: $40.49 + $21.51
The base wage is the taxable hourly wage. L&I 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) | $40.49 |
| Fringe benefits (one figure, not itemized) | $21.51 |
| Total hourly rate, as printed | $62.00 |
When does this rate change?
- A signed contract keeps the rates in its own determination, including the dated steps printed there. A later L&I rate change doesn't reach it (Act § 4).
- County pages here follow each county's newest determination, so they move whenever L&I issues the next one there. The determination is named in the Source line.
Davis-Bacon bricklayer rates in these counties
The counties share L&I's rates, but not always the same federal wage determination. Pennsylvania's Act doesn't cover projects where Davis-Bacon applies, so a job uses one schedule or the other (L&I FAQ).
