What is the Davis-Bacon laborer rate in Miami?

The applicable rate must be read from the wage determination and modification incorporated into the solicitation or contract for the correct county, construction type, and work performed.

Can I use the newest SAM.gov modification for an awarded contract?

Not automatically. Start with the wage determination incorporated into the contract and any formal contract modifications, and ask the contracting officer when the source trail conflicts.

Classification caution

A trade name is a starting point.

Laborer schedules often contain multiple groups or task-specific entries. “General laborer” is not a safe catch-all when the document lists a more specific scope.

Document check

Use the copy tied to the job.

For an awarded contract, start with the decision and modification incorporated into the contract. For a live bid, follow the solicitation and formal amendments. A newer SAM.gov result is not automatically a contract change.
