Asbestos & Lead Abatement Laborer prevailing wage, Bayfield County group, Wisconsin (2 counties)
DOL sets the same asbestos and lead abatement laborer rates, row for row, in 2 counties: Bayfield and Iron. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.
$56.62an hour, base wage + fringe benefits (our sum)
$36.65 base wage + $19.97 fringe benefits · LABO0268-005
On federally funded or assisted building construction in each of these 2 counties, an asbestos and lead abatement laborer must be paid at least $56.62 an hour: a $36.65 base wage plus $19.97 in fringe benefits, under wage determination WI20260011 (modification 1). DOL prints no total, so $56.62 is our sum of the two.
Wage determination WI20260011, modification 1, published May 18, 2026, for building construction; rate identifier LABO0268-005 (June 2, 2025). Checked against sam.gov on October 25, 2026.
Davis-Bacon is the only prevailing wage here (federally funded or assisted work). Wisconsin repealed its local law from January 1, 2017 and its state law for projects bid after September 23, 2017 (2017 Act 59; WisDOT).
DOL lists 3 asbestos and lead abatement laborer rates for each of these counties, from $56.62 to $60.51 an hour. See all of them.
Base wage and fringe benefits: $36.65 + $19.97
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) | $36.65 |
| Fringe benefits (one figure, not itemized) | $19.97 |
| Base + fringe benefits (our sum; DOL prints no total) | $56.62 |
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 Wisconsin change log lists what each one changed.
