wage decision <br />Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate <br />changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing <br />this classification and rate. <br />Survey Rate Identifiers <br />classifications listed under the "SU" identifier indicate that <br />no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and <br />the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average <br />rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that <br />classification. As this weighted average rate includes all <br />rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and <br />non. -union rates. Example; SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates <br />the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average <br />calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates <br />the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which <br />these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 <br />in the example, is an internal number used in producing the <br />wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion <br />date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. <br />survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a <br />new survey is conducted. <br />Union Average Rate Identifiers <br />Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate <br />that no single majority rate prevailed for those <br />classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the <br />classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 <br />08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a'weighted union <br />average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in <br />the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage <br />determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date <br />for the classifications and rates under that identifier. <br />A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in 7anuary of <br />each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current <br />negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is <br />based. <br />---------------------------------------------------------------- <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 />Page 24 <br />25D-58 <br />
