WAGE DECISION GUIDE

This list of examples of work items provides guidance for the

selection of the appropriate wage decision to issue for the work

involved. This list is intended to clarify the difference between

nonroutine maintenance (subject to HUD-determined wage rates) and

development (subject to DOL-determined wage rates). HUD determined

wage rates cover those repairs which are in the nature of "nonroutine

maintenance" and which do not constitute "reconstruction."

Note: Items normally subject to HUD-determined wage rates would

be subject to Davis-Bacon wage rates if part of the virtually

complete remodeling of the rooms or areas in question.

This Guide provides examples of work items for wage rate

purposes and should not be used as a guide for applying modernization

standards.

NOTE:

Work items subject to either type of wage decision should be

segregated from those subject to the other type of wage decision so

that each construction contract contains only a single wage rate

determination. If only an incidental amount of work is subject to

either type of wage decision, then that work should be included in

the contract containing the substantial amount of work (see

paragraph 6-8). In addition, work items normally subject to

HUD-determined wage rates would be subject to DOL-determined wage

rates if those work items were part of the virtually complete

remodeling of the rooms or areas in question.
