[Massplanners] FW: Cost of Using Prevailing Wage Rates

[Paul Halkiotis]

Hi Katrina, 
I understand that prevailing wage rates are typically about 30% higher than nonunion/prevailing wage rates.

Hello. 

Does anyone have an estimate for the % increase per linear foot of constructing a 6 foot wide sidewalk with straight faced granite curb using prevailing wage rates versus a private entity constructing the sidewalks (not using prevailing wage rates)? All I need is a ball park figure. If you have an explanation for the ball park figure, all the better. I am preparing for a town wide “Pedestrian Summit” here in Middleton. 

Thank you!
