OVERVIEW OF DAVIS-BACON SURVEY PROCESS

◊ When a survey is started, national and local interested parties are notified of the 

survey, its boundaries, time frame, and cutoff date by letter which requests their 

participation through the submission of wage data. 

◊ Contractors are identified initially from construction information provided on 

F.W. Dodge reports and are sent letters requesting wage data and lists of 

subcontractors. Subcontractors are also contacted for wage data. . 

◊ Follow-up on all non-responses. Contractors are called to obtain missing data 

and/or to clarify wage data submissions. 

◊ Wage and fringe benefit data are collected from construction contractors and 

other interested parties on WD-10 survey forms including an electronic version 

found at: 

(http://www.dol.gov/whd/programs/dbra/WD10Instrctns/wd10instructions.htm). 

◊ Wage data submissions are verified as to area, time frame, construction type, and 

timeliness. Data are analyzed and “area practice” issues presented by the data are 

resolved. (“Area practice” issues arise in the survey process when multiple classifications perform 

the same work.)

◊ Third party verification, contractor verification, on-site verification are 

conducted. 

◊ The wage data are tabulated in a computer program and prevailing wage rates and 

fringe benefits are calculated. 

 ◊◊ If a majority of the workers in a classification were paid the same, such as if 

a majority were paid the union rate negotiated for certain work under a 

collective bargaining agreement in the area, that rate will be determined to 

be the prevailing wage for the classification. 

 ◊◊ If the data does not show such a majority for a given classification, the 

average of the wages paid, weighted by the total employed in that 

classification, will be determined to be the prevailing wage for the 

classification. 29 CFR 1.2(a). 

◊ These wage rates are tested for adequacy. Wage determinations are developed 

and issued where data adequacy tests have been met. Data from metropolitan 

counties cannot be used in determining wages for non-metropolitan areas; and 

vice versa. 29 CFR 1.7(b). 
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

PREVAILING WAGE RESOURCE BOOK 2010 DB SURVEYS

◊ Data collection for multiple construction type statewide surveys range from 4 to 6 

months and follow-up analysis and clarification can take 12 – 18 months after the 

survey cut-off date. 

◊ Accurate and comprehensive wage determinations are dependent upon interested 

party participation in the survey process. 

◊ Survey participation by federal procurement agencies is sometimes required to 

issue a new wage schedule. Federal agencies may also play a key role in survey 

success by encouraging participation. 

◊ Prevailing wage determinations based upon survey data merely mirror the data 

that are submitted.

 CERTIFIED PAYROLLS

◊ Data from projects to which Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements applied may 

be needed to supplement wage data from private projects to allow for development of a 

wage determination. 29 CFR 1.3(d). 

◊◊ Data from all projects, including those on which Davis-Bacon prevailing wage 

requirements applied, are always used in determining the prevailing wages for 

heavy construction and for highway construction. 

◊◊ In determining the prevailing wages for building construction and residential 

construction, data from Davis-Bacon prevailing wage projects will not be used in 

calculating the prevailing wage if sufficient information is received from nonprevailing wage projects. 

◊ Federal agencies may be requested to provide data from certified payrolls to 

supplement data submitted from other sources, where appropriate. Where that occurs: 

◊ It is not necessary to send a copy of every certified payroll submitted for a 

particular project. Only copies of those certified payrolls showing the peak 

employment week of a worker classification on a particular project by a particular 

contractor need be furnished. 

◊ Certified payroll information will be transcribed to the WD-10 form as it can be 

electronically scanned into WHD’s survey computer program. The use of 

certified payroll data may materially affect the resulting wage determination.

In the listing above, the "SU" designation means that rates listed under the 

identifier do not reflect collectively bargained wage and fringe benefit 

rates. Other designations indicate unions whose rates have been determined 

to be prevailing. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

 WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS 

1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be: 

* an existing published wage determination 

* a survey underlying a wage determination 

* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage 

 determination matter 

* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling 

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries 

of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in 

which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have 

responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this 

initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.) and 

3.) should be followed. 

With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described 

here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage 

Determinations. Write to: 

 Branch of Construction Wage Determinations 

 Wage and Hour Division 

 U.S. Department of Labor 

 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. 

 Washington, DC 20210 

2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party 

(those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from 

the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). 

Write to: 

 Wage and Hour Administrator 

 U.S. Department of Labor 

 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. 

 Washington, DC 20210 

The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested 

party's position and by any information (wage payment data, project 

description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers 

relevant to the issue. 
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

PREVAILING WAGE RESOURCE BOOK 2010 DB SURVEYS 

34

3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested 

party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the 

Wage Appeals Board). Write to: 

 Administrative Review Board 

 U.S. Department of Labor 

 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. 

 Washington, DC 20210 

4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final. 

 END OF GENERAL DECISION
