Page 2 of 3 <br />An identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with <br />characters other than "SU" denotes that the union <br />classification and rate have found to be prevailing for that <br />classification. Example: PLUM0198-005 07/01/2011. The <br />first four letters , PLUM, indicate the international union and <br />the four-digit number, 0198, that follows indicates the local <br />union number or district council number where applicable , <br />i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the <br />example, is an internal number used in processing the wage <br />determination. The date, 07/01/2011, following these <br />characters is the effective date of the most current <br />negotiated rate/collective bargaining agreement which would be <br />July 1, 2011 in the above example. <br />Union prevailing wage rates will be updated to reflect any <br />changes in the collective bargaining agreements governing the <br />rate. <br />Non-Union Identifiers <br />Classifications listed under an "SU" identifier were derived <br />from survey data by computing averaqe rates and are not union <br />rates; however, the data used in computing these rates may <br />include both union and non-union data. Example: SULA2004-007 <br />5/13/2010. SU indicates the rates are not union rates, LA <br />indicates the State of Louisiana; 2004 is the year of the <br />survey; and 007 is an internal number used in producing the <br />wage determination. A 1993 or later date, 5/13/2010, indicates <br />the classifications and rates under that identifier were issued <br />as a General Wage Determination on that date. <br />Survey wage rates will remain in effect and will not change <br />until a new survey is conducted. <br />WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS <br />1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can <br />be. <br />* an existing published wage determination <br />* a survey underlying a wage determination <br />* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on <br />a wage determination matter <br />* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling <br />On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests <br />for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour <br />Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted <br />because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the <br />Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial <br />contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.) <br />and 3.) should be followed. <br />With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal <br />process described here, initial contact should be with the <br />Branch of Construction Wage Determinations.
