NoticeTo All Mason Contractors and Interested Parties

Regarding Construction Pursuant to Section 31-53 of theConnecticut General Statutes (Prevailing Wage)

The Connecticut Labor Department Wage and Workplace Standards Division is empowered toenforce the prevailing wage rates on projects covered by the above referenced statute.

Over the past few years the Division has withheld enforcement of the rate in effect for workerswho operate a forklift on a prevailing wage rate project due to a potential jurisdictional dispute.

The rate listed in the schedules and in our Occupational Bulletin (see enclosed) has been asfollows:

Forklift Operator:

- Laborers (Group 4) Mason Tenders - operates forkiffi solely to assist a mason to a maximumheight of nine feet only.

- Power Equipment Operator (Group 9) - operates forklift to assist any trade and to assist amason to a height over nine feet.

The U.S. Labor Department conducted a survey of rates in Connecticut but it has not beenpublished and the rate in effect remains as outlined in the above Occupational Bulletin.

Since this is a classification mailer amid not one ofjurisdiction, effective Jan riamy 1,2007 the connecticut Labor Department will enforce the rate on each schedule inaccordance with our statutory authority.

Your cooperation in filing appropriate and accurate certified payrolls is appreciated.
