Two types of wage requirements may affect construction projects that receive state and/or federal funds. The Vermont State Prevailing Wage may apply to projects authorized or funded in whole or part by the State of Vermont Capital Construction Act. Public construction projects using federal funds may be required to conform to the Davis-Bacon Act. Vermont’s State Prevailing Wages are available under the Publications section at www.vtlmi.info. Requirements for Federal Prevailing Wages, informally known as "Davis-Bacon," are available via Sam.gov. When both apply, the Davis-Bacon takes precedence.
