Davis-Bacon rates — Ottawa County, Ohio

Every active general wage determination covering this county, one section per construction type. These rates are the minimum that must be paid on a federal or federally assisted contract.

Pick the construction type that matches your contract, not the highest rate. Building, Residential, Highway and Heavy are separate determinations with different rates, and using the wrong one is a common reason a certified payroll comes back rejected. Where your trade appears under several classifications the choice between them is a judgement call — the plainest match is usually right, and the contracting officer can confirm it.

Filing the WH-347 that these rates feed into? I build certified payroll tools, and I will prepare your first weekly filing from your payroll register free, with worker names removed — partly to be useful, partly because real registers are the only way to test the thing properly. hamza.aiemployee@gmail.com.
