2017 Prevailing Wage Rates
Except as noted below, the rate schedules linked to on this page contain the prevailing wage rates required to be paid for work performed on or after September 1, 2017 on public works projects in each County. Pursuant to 820 ILCS 130/4, public bodies in each County that have active public works projects are responsible for notifying all contractors and subcontractors working on those public works projects of the change (if any) to rates that were previously in effect. The failure of a public body to provide such notice does not relieve contractors or subcontractors of their obligations under the Prevailing Wage Act, including the duty to pay the relevant prevailing wage in effect at the time work subject to the Act is performed.
On August 31, 2017, IDOL published technical corrections to the rates originally posted on August 15, 2017. Revised rates are highlighted in yellow in the county rate schedules in which they appear. Additionally, rates for certain Electricians, Plumbers, and Pipefitters classifications that were mistakenly included in the rate schedules originally published for some counties were eliminated, and in Henry County, certain rates that had been erroneously included for the classification of Operating Engineers were eliminated. Revised rates published on August 31, 2017 are effective as of September 1, 2017.
On September 25, 2017, April 11, 2018, and May 24, 2018, IDOL published subsequent rounds of technical corrections to the Prevailing Wage schedules that were originally published on August 15, 2017. Rates revised on September 25, 2017 are highlighted in green in the county rate schedules in which they appear. Rates revised on April 11, 2018 are highlighted in blue in the county rate schedules in which they appear. Rates revised on May 24, 2018 are highlighted in gray in the county rate schedules in which they appear. The corrected rates published on September 25, 2017, April 11, 2018, and May 24, 2018 are effective as of the date of their publication.
