Prevailing Wage in North Dakota
I’m a non union HVAC foreman/journeyman in ND. Worked on a Davis Bacon job for a few weeks on and off. Total I had 42 hours. 12 of those hours spent hanging unit heaters. 30 spent on gas/venting/commissioning the unit heaters along with some other ventilation work
The 30 hours on gas and venting got paid 50/50 under the pipe fitter category and the sheet metal category. I think that should be all gas but they’re similar rates so whatever. However for the 12 hours spent hanging units, they classified me under the laborer rate which is considerably less. Would hanging unit heaters be considered general labor? Seems to me it should fall under one of the HVAC categories but I don’t know which it would.
I’ve read the guidelines on Sam.gov and on my states Davis Bacon guideline page. All those give me is rates and no actual classification of work. Does anybody have access to that info or is there somebody I can call about that?
Also I’m not finding any info for apprentice rates. My apprentice did all the same work as me but my company put all his hours under general labor which doesn’t seem right. I figure he should’ve at least gotten 60% of my pay which is about what a day 1 apprentice makes in the union here. General labor rate is like $15/ hr so he was just paid his normal wage which is more than that.
