being certified for submission under section 18-2-423, MCA, for not less than three years after the
Contractor's, subcontractor's, or employer's completion of work on the public works contract.
All Contractors and employers shall classify each employee who performs labor on a public works project
according to the applicable standard prevailing rate of wages for such craft, classification, or type of employee
established by the Commissioner of the Montana Department of Labor and Industry, and shall pay each such
employee a rate of wages not less than the standard prevailing rate as specified in the Montana Prevailing
Wages Rates for Building Construction and Non-Construction Services 2010.

and any related settlement negotiations, provided that:

of the State prevent such performance.
20.4 State's Failure or Delay. For a problem or circumstance identified in the Contractor's status

obligation, the State shall review same and determine if such problem or circumstance was in fact the result of
such failure or delay. If the State agrees as to the cause of such problem or circumstance, then the parties
shall extend any deadlines or due dates affected thereby, and provide for any additional charges by the

A. Date of Publication January 27, 2011
B. Definition of Building Construction
For the purposes of Prevailing Wage, the Commissioner of Labor and Industry has determined that building construction
occupations are defined to be those performed by a person engaged in a recognized trade or craft, or any skilled,
semiskilled, or unskilled manual labor related to the construction, alteration, or repair of a public building or facility, and
does not include engineering, superintendence, management, office or clerical work.
The Administrative Rules of Montana (ARM) 24.17.501(2) – 2(a), Public Works Contracts for Construction Services
Subject to Prevailing Wage Rates, states: “Building construction projects generally are the constructions of sheltered
enclosures with walk-in access for housing persons, machinery, equipment, or supplies. It includes all construction of
such structures, incidental installation of utilities and equipment, both above and below grade level, as well as incidental
grading, utilities and paving.
Examples of building construction include, but are not limited to, alterations and additions to buildings, apartment
buildings (5 stories and above), arenas (closed), auditoriums, automobile parking garages, banks and financial buildings,
barracks, churches, city halls, civic centers, commercial buildings, court houses, detention facilities, dormitories, farm
buildings, fire stations, hospitals, hotels, industrial buildings, institutional buildings, libraries, mausoleums, motels,
museums, nursing and convalescent facilities, office buildings, out-patient clinics, passenger and freight terminal
buildings, police stations, post offices, power plants, prefabricated buildings, remodeling buildings, renovating buildings,
repairing buildings, restaurants, schools, service stations, shopping centers, stores, subway stations, theaters,
warehouses, water and sewage treatment plants (buildings only), etc.”
C. Definition of Public Works Contract
Montana Code Annotated 18-2-401(11)(a), defines “public works contract” as “a contract for construction services let by
the state, county, municipality, school district, or political subdivision or for nonconstruction services let by the state,
county, municipality, or political subdivision in which the total cost of the contract is in excess of $25,000…”
D. Prevailing Wage Schedule
This publication covers only Building Construction occupations and rates. These rates will remain in effect until
superseded by a more current publication. Current prevailing wage rate schedules for Heavy Construction, Highway
Construction, and Nonconstruction Services occupations can be found on the internet at www.mtwagehourbopa.com or
by contacting the Labor Standards Bureau at (406) 444-5600 or TDD (406) 444-5549.
E. Rates to use for Projects
Rates to be used on a public works project are those that are in effect at the time the project and bid specifications are
advertised.
F. Wage rate adjustments for multiyear contracts
Section 18-2-417, Montana Code Annotated states:
“(1) Any public works contract that by the terms of the original contract calls for more than 30 months to fully perform
must include a provision to adjust, as provided in subsection (2), the standard prevailing rate of wages to be paid to the
workers performing the contract.
(2) The standard prevailing rate of wages paid to workers under a contract subject to this section must be adjusted 12
months after the date of the award of the public works contract. The amount of the adjustment must be a 3% increase. The
adjustment must be made and applied every 12 months for the term of the contract.
(3) Any increase in the standard rate of prevailing wages for workers under this section is the sole responsibility of the
contractor and any subcontractors and not the contracting agency.”

G. Fringe Benefits
Section 18-2-412, Montana Code Annotated states:
“(1) To fulfill the obligation...a contractor or subcontractor may:
(a) pay the amount of fringe benefits and the basic hourly rate of pay that is part of the standard prevailing rate of wages
directly to the worker or employee in cash;
(b) make an irrevocable contribution to a trustee or a third person pursuant to a fringe benefit fund, plan, or program that
meets the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or that is a bona fide program approved
by the U. S. department of labor; or
(c) make payments using any combination of methods set forth in subsections (1)(a) and (1)(b) so that the aggregate of
payments and contributions is not less than the standard prevailing rate of wages, including fringe benefits and travel
allowances, applicable to the district for the particular type of work being performed.
(2) The fringe benefit fund, plan, or program described in subsection (1)(b) must provide benefits to workers or employees
for health care, pensions on retirement or death, life insurance, disability and sickness insurance, or bona fide programs
that meet the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or that are approved by the U. S.
department of labor.”
Fringe benefits are paid for all hours worked (straight time and overtime hours). However, fringe benefits are not to be
considered a part of the hourly rate of pay for calculating overtime, unless there is a collectively bargained agreement in
effect that specifies otherwise.
H. Per Diem
Per Diem typically covers the costs associated with board and lodging expenses and are paid when an employee is
required to work at a location outside the daily commuting distance and is required to stay overnight or longer.
I. Prevailing Wage Districts
Montana counties are aggregated into 10 districts for the purpose of prevailing wage. The prevailing wage districts are
composed of the following counties:

BUILDING CONSTRUCTION SERVICES 2011

EFFECTIVE JANUARY 27, 2011

J. Computing Travel Benefits
Travel pay, for the purposes of public works projects, shall be determined by measuring the road miles (one way) over the
shortest practical maintained route from the county courthouse of the designated city for each district or the employee's
home, whichever is closer, to the center of the job. Each city shall be considered the point of origin only for jobs within
the counties identified in that district (as shown below):
District 1 - Kalispell: includes Flathead, Lake, Lincoln, and Sanders Counties
District 2 - Missoula: includes Mineral, Missoula, and Ravalli Counties
District 3 - Butte: includes Beaverhead, Deer Lodge, Granite, Madison, Powell, and Silver Bow Counties
District 4 - Great Falls: includes Blaine, Cascade, Chouteau, Glacier, Hill, Liberty, Pondera, Teton, and Toole Counties
District 5 - Helena: includes Broadwater, Jefferson, Lewis and Clark, and Meagher Counties
District 6 - Bozeman: includes Gallatin, Park, and Sweet Grass Counties
District 7 - Lewistown: includes Fergus, Golden Valley, Judith Basin, Musselshell, Petroleum, and Wheatland Counties
District 8 - Billings: includes Big Horn, Carbon, Rosebud, Stillwater, Treasure, and Yellowstone Counties
District 9 - Glasgow: includes Daniels, Garfield, McCone, Phillips, Richland, Roosevelt, Sheridan, and Valley Counties
District 10 - Miles City: includes Carter, Custer, Dawson, Fallon, Prairie, Powder River, and Wibaux Counties
When travel pay is applicable and is shown as an additional amount added to base pay, it means for hours worked
on the project, not time spent traveling.
K. Apprentices
Wage rates for apprentices registered in approved federal or state apprenticeship programs are contained in those
programs. Additionally, section 18-2-416(2), Montana Code Annotated states, “…The full amount of any applicable
fringe benefits must be paid to the apprentice while the apprentice is working on the public works contract.” Apprentices
not registered in approved federal or state apprenticeship programs will be paid the appropriate prevailing wage rate when
working on a public works contract.
L. Posting Notice of Prevailing Wages
Section 18-2-406, Montana Code Annotated provides that contractors, subcontractors and employers who are “performing
work or providing construction services under public works contracts, as provided in this part, shall post in a prominent
and accessible site on the project or staging area, not later than the first day of work and continuing for the entire
duration of the project, a legible statement of all wages and fringe benefits to be paid to the employees.”
M. Employment Preference
Sections 18-2-403 and 18-2-409, Montana Code Annotated requires contractors to give preference to the employment of
bona fide Montana residents in the performance of work on public works contracts.
N. Building Construction Occupations Website
You can find definitions for these occupations on the following Bureau of Labor Statistics website:
http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_stru.htm
O. Welders’ Rates
Welders receive the rate prescribed for the craft performing an operation to which welding is incidental.
P. Foremans’ Rates
Rates are no longer set for foreman. However, if a foreman performs journey level work, the foreman must be paid at
least the journey level rate.

A. Date of Publication January 27, 2011
B. Definition of Nonconstruction Services Occupations
Section 18-2-401 (9)(a)-(9)(l), Montana Code Annotated defines “nonconstruction services” as “work performed by an
individual, not including management, office, or clerical work, for:
(a) the maintenance of publicly owned buildings and facilities, including public highways, roads, streets, and alleys;
(b) custodial or security services for publicly owned buildings and facilities;
(c) grounds maintenance for publicly owned property;
(d) the operation of public drinking water supply, waste collection, and waste disposal systems;
(e) law enforcement, including janitors and prison guards;
(f) fire protection;

(i) material and mail handling;
(j) food service and cooking;
(k) motor vehicle and construction equipment repair and servicing; and
(l) appliance and office machine repair and servicing.”
C. Definition of Public Works Contract
Montana Code Annotated (18-2-401 (11)(a)) defines “public works contract” as “a contract for construction services let
by the state, county, municipality, school district, or political subdivision or for nonconstruction services let by the state,
county, municipality, or political subdivision in which the total cost of the contract is in excess of $25,000…”
D. Prevailing Wage Schedule
This publication covers only Nonconstruction Service occupations and rates. These rates will remain in effect until
superseded by a more current publication. Current prevailing wage rate schedules for Heavy, Highway, and Building
Construction occupations can be found on the Internet at www.mtwagehourbopa.com or by contacting the Labor
Standards Bureau at (406) 444-5600 or TDD (406) 444-5549.
E. Rates to use for Projects
Rates to be used on a public works project are those that are in effect at the time the project and bid specifications are
advertised.
F. Wage Rate Adjustments for Multiyear Contracts
Section 18-2-417, Montana Code Annotated states:
“(1) Any public works contract that by the terms of the original contract calls for more than 30 months to fully perform
must include a provision to adjust, as provided in subsection (2), the standard prevailing rate of wages to be paid to the
workers performing the contract.
(2) The standard prevailing rate of wages paid to workers under a contract subject to this section must be adjusted 12
months after the date of the award of the public works contract. The amount of the adjustment must be a 3% increase. The
adjustment must be made and applied every 12 months for the term of the contract.
(3) Any increase in the standard rate of prevailing wages for workers under this section is the sole responsibility of the
contractor and any subcontractors and not the contracting agency.”

G. Fringe Benefits
Section 18-2-412 of the Montana Code Annotated states:
“(1) To fulfill the obligation...a contractor or subcontractor may:
(a) pay the amount of fringe benefits and the basic hourly rate of pay that is part of the standard prevailing rate of wages
directly to the worker or employee in cash;
(b) make an irrevocable contribution to a trustee or a third person pursuant to a fringe benefit fund, plan, or program that
meets the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or that is a bona fide program approved
by the U. S. department of labor; or
(c) make payments using any combination of methods set forth in subsections (1)(a) and (1)(b) so that the aggregate of
payments and contributions is not less than the standard prevailing rate of wages, including fringe benefits and travel
allowances, applicable to the district for the particular type of work being performed.
(2) The fringe benefit fund, plan, or program described in subsection (1)(b) must provide benefits to workers or employees
for health care, pensions on retirement or death, life insurance, disability and sickness insurance, or bona fide programs
that meet the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or that are approved by the U. S.
department of labor.”
Fringe benefits are paid for all hours worked (straight time and overtime hours). However, fringe benefits are not to be
considered a part of the hourly rate of pay for calculating overtime, unless there is a collectively bargained agreement in
effect that specifies otherwise.
H. Per Diem
Per Diem typically covers the costs associated with board and lodging expenses and are paid when an employee is
required to work at a location outside the daily commuting distance and is required to stay overnight or longer.
I. Prevailing Wage Districts
Montana counties are aggregated into 10 districts for the purpose of prevailing wage. The prevailing wage districts are
composed of the following counties:

NONCONSTRUCTION SERVICES 2011

EFFECTIVE JANUARY 27, 2011

J. Computing Travel Benefits
Travel pay, for the purposes of public works projects, shall be determined by measuring the road miles (one way) over the
shortest practical maintained route from the county courthouse of the designated city for each district or the employee's
home, whichever is closer, to the center of the job. Each city shall be considered the point of origin only for jobs within
the counties identified in that district (as shown below):
District
District
District
District
District
District
District
District
District
District

1 - Kalispell: includes Flathead, Lake, Lincoln, and Sanders Counties
2 - Missoula: includes Mineral, Missoula, and Ravalli Counties
3 - Butte: includes Beaverhead, Deer Lodge, Granite, Madison, Powell, and Silver Bow Counties
4 - Great Falls: includes Blaine, Cascade, Chouteau, Glacier, Hill, Liberty, Pondera, Teton, and Toole Counties
5 - Helena: includes Broadwater, Jefferson, Lewis and Clark, and Meagher Counties
6 - Bozeman: includes Gallatin, Park, and Sweet Grass Counties
7 - Lewistown: includes Fergus, Golden Valley, Judith Basin, Musselshell, Petroleum, and Wheatland Counties
8 - Billings: includes Big Horn, Carbon, Rosebud, Stillwater, Treasure, and Yellowstone Counties
9 - Glasgow: includes Daniels, Garfield, McCone, Phillips, Richland, Roosevelt, Sheridan, and Valley Counties
10 - Miles City: includes Carter, Custer, Dawson, Fallon, Prairie, Powder River, and Wibaux Counties

When travel pay is applicable and is shown as an additional amount added to base pay, it means for hours worked
on the project, not time spent traveling.
K. Apprentices
Wage rates for apprentices registered in approved federal or state apprenticeship programs are contained in those
programs. Additionally, section 18-2-416(2), Montana Code Annotated states, “…The full amount of any applicable
fringe benefits must be paid to the apprentice while the apprentice is working on the public works contract.” Apprentices
not registered in approved federal or state apprenticeship programs will be paid the appropriate prevailing wage rate when
working on a public works contract.
L. Posting Notice of Prevailing Wages
Section 18-2-406, Montana Code Annotated provides that contractors, subcontractors and employers who are “performing
work or providing construction services under public works contracts, as provided in this part, shall post in a prominent
and accessible site on the project or staging area, not later than the first day of work and continuing for the entire
duration of the project, a legible statement of all wages and fringe benefits to be paid to the employees.”
M. Employment Preference
Sections 18-2-403 and 18-2-409, Montana Code Annotated requires contractors to give preference to the employment of
bona fide Montana residents in the performance of work on public works contracts.
