Flagger prevailing wage, Sevier County group, Tennessee (11 counties)
DOL sets the same flagger rates, row for row, in 11 counties: Bledsoe, Cocke, Greene, Grundy, Johnson, McMinn, Meigs, Monroe, Rhea, Roane and Sevier. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.
$10.50an hour, base wage + fringe benefits (our sum)
$10.50 base wage + $0.00 fringe benefits · SUTN2009-120
On federally funded or assisted heavy construction in each of these 11 counties, a flagger must be paid at least $10.50 an hour: a $10.50 base wage plus $0.00 in fringe benefits, under wage determination TN20260121 (modification 1). DOL prints no total, so $10.50 is our sum of the two.
Wage determination TN20260121, modification 1, published May 18, 2026, for heavy construction; rate identifier SUTN2009-120 (December 2, 2009). Checked against sam.gov on October 25, 2026.
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.).
- This base is below $13.65, the Executive Order 13658 minimum. Contracts that order covers must pay at least that (see the WD's note).
Base wage and fringe benefits: $10.50 + $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.
| Base wage (taxable) | $10.50 |
| Base + fringe benefits (our sum; DOL prints no total) | $10.50 |
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.
