Before you rely on a rate
These are federal Davis-Bacon rates for federal and federally assisted construction; state-funded work may follow New Jersey's own law. The contracting agency chooses which determination applies, and the one attached to the contract governs, even after a newer modification. Apprentices in registered programs may be paid a percentage of these rates. Nothing here is legal advice.
