Pile Driver prevailing wage, Cumberland County group, Pennsylvania (4 counties)
L&I sets the same pile driver rates, row for row, in 4 counties: Adams, Cumberland, Northumberland and Sullivan. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.
$66.60an hour, base wage + fringe benefits
$43.13 base wage + $23.47 fringe benefits · Building
On Pennsylvania public works in each of these 4 counties, a pile driver must be paid at least $66.60 an hour: a $43.13 base wage plus $23.47 in fringe benefits.
PPWS county schedules from each county's newest determination (Oct 25, 2026); this rate, effective January 1, 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.
L&I lists 4 pile driver rates for each of these counties, from $58.81 to $68.10 an hour. See all of them.
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: $43.13 + $23.47
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) | $43.13 |
| Fringe benefits (one figure, not itemized) | $23.47 |
| Total hourly rate, as printed | $66.60 |
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.

L&I prints more than one dated line for Piledrivers. The one in force on October 25, 2026 leads this page; scheduled lines take effect on their date.

Davis-Bacon pile driver 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).
