THIS INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE IN AN ALTERNATE FORMAT <br />The prevailing wage rates contained in this booklet generally reflect non-residential building, heavy, and <br />highway construction rates determined for Oregon by the Secretary of Labor of the United States <br />pursuant to the Davis-Bacon Act; certain changes have been made to better reflect prevailing practices <br />in Oregon. Pursuant to ORS 279.348 to ORS 279.380, these rates have been adopted for use on <br />public works contracts in Oregon.

To qualify as an apprentice or <br />trainee, the worker must be registered in a bona fide apprenticeship or training program of the U.S. <br />Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training (BAT) or with any State Apprenticeship <br />and Training Agency recognized by BAT. For information call (503) 731-4072. The apprentice or <br />trainee must receive all fringe benefits* and a percentage of the journeyman's wage rate which is <br />listed in this booklet. This rate may be different than the rate contained in the Apprenticeship <br />Standards for the trade. The correct percentage shall be determined by the appropriate apprenticeship <br />or training committee. All other workers must receive rates as published. <br />* SEE APRIL 29, 1997 NOTICE REGARDING TEMPORARY ADMINISTRATIVE RULE RELATING TO <br />PAYMENT OF FRINGE BENEFITS TO APPRENTICES AND TRAINEES. (PAGES 9-72) <br />Zone Pav ~ <br />In certain trades, the basic hourly rate of pay progressively increases based upon the distance between <br />the job site and a designated landmark; this is commonly referred to as zone pay. To determine the <br />hourly wage, find the correct zone based on the number of road miles the job site is from the closest <br />designated city (based either on distance from city hall or from geographical center of the city, <br />depending on the trade) and add the amount for that zone to the basic hourly rate. Zone pay, unlike <br />travel pay, is the basic hourly wage upon which overtime is computed. <br />JULY 1, 1997 PAGE 1 <br />
