Tennessee sets its own rates for state highway work only; elsewhere Davis-Bacon is the only prevailing wage. The Prevailing Wage Commission's 25 statewide highway rates are wages with no fringe, on the state highway rates page (T.C.A. 12-4-401 ff.).
DOL lists 4 electrician rates for each of these counties, from $17.14 to $49.67 an hour. See all of them.

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 Tennessee change log lists what each one changed.
