WISD adopts Davis‑Bacon prevailing wage rates for Bond 2025 construction projects
Summary
The Board adopted the most current prevailing wage rates for Hays County per the Davis‑Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. § 276a et seq.) to apply to Bond 2025 construction projects; the motion passed unanimously, 7–0.
CFO Michael Doyle recommended that the district adopt the prevailing wage rates published by the U.S. Department of Labor under the Davis‑Bacon Act for Bond 2025 construction projects. Trustee Andrea Justus moved that the Board adopt those rates, noting the motion allows updates when the federal wage decisions are republished. "I move that the Board adopt the most current prevailing wage rates for Hays County, as published by the U.S. Department of Labor under the Davis‑Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. § 276a et seq.) and its amendments, for the Bond 2025 construction projects authorized by the Board," the minutes record.
The motion clarifies that only base wage rates from the applicable decision shall be used unless federal funds are involved in a specific project. The Board approved the motion with a recorded vote of Yea: 7, Nay: 0. The minutes do not list specific wage figures; they reference the U.S. Department of Labor publication as the controlling source.
