Flagger prevailing wage, Beaufort County group, South Carolina (11 counties)
DOL sets the same flagger rates, row for row, in 11 counties: Allendale, Bamberg, Barnwell, Beaufort, Colleton, Georgetown, Hampton, Jasper, Newberry, Orangeburg and Williamsburg. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.
$17.27an hour, base wage + fringe benefits (our sum)
$17.27 base wage + $0.00 fringe benefits · SUSC2011-038
On federally funded or assisted highway construction in each of these 11 counties, a flagger must be paid at least $17.27 an hour: a $17.27 base wage plus $0.00 in fringe benefits, under wage determination SC20260040 (modification 2). DOL prints no total, so $17.27 is our sum of the two.
Wage determination SC20260040, modification 2, published October 22, 2026, for highway construction; rate identifier SUSC2011-038 (September 15, 2011). Checked against sam.gov on October 25, 2026.
Davis-Bacon is the only prevailing wage here (federally funded or assisted work). South Carolina has no state prevailing wage law (DOL state table).
Base wage and fringe benefits: $17.27 + $0.00
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.

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 South Carolina change log lists what each one changed.
