OAR 839-025-0006
Purpose and Procedure for Addition of Trade


(1)

As a result of technological advancements and/or policy changes, new trades periodically emerge in the construction industry. When this happens, it may be appropriate for the commissioner to add such trades into the prevailing wage rate determinations. The following procedure is designed to insure that new trades are included in prevailing wage rate determinations when appropriate.

(2)

Any person may request the addition of a trade by submitting a written request to the Prevailing Wage Rate Unit. This request must, at a minimum, specify:

(a)

Name of proposed trade;

(b)

Minimum education required; and

(c)

Description of minimum skills required and tools used.

(3)

The PWR Coordinator will recommend to the commissioner whether or not to conduct a complete study of the proposed trade. The requesting party will be notified in writing by the PWR Coordinator of the commissioner’s decision.

(4)

If the PWR Coordinator conducts the requested study, the following areas, at a minimum, will be included in the review:

(a)

Relevant practices of the U.S. Department of Labor under the Davis-Bacon Act;

(b)

Whether the proposed trade is substantially different from trades included in the current wage determination;

(c)

The relevant prevailing practices in the State of Oregon.

(5)

The PWR Coordinator will submit a report and a recommendation to the commissioner.

(6)

The commissioner will decide whether or not to include the proposed trade. The requesting party will be notified in writing of the commissioner’s decision.
