The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) Wage Hour Division is conducting a prevailing wage survey of residential weatherization work in several states. ABC is encouraging all members that have performed work that meets the definition of weatherization in California, Connecticut, Iowa, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, or Wisconsin to complete the survey.
Weatherization work is defined as sealing, repair or replacement of a duct; air sealing; insulation installation, including batt, blown and foam; ventilation work; minor or incidental structural repairs; window and door repairs to include solar film installation, caulking, and weather stripping; tune up or minor repairs to air conditioning, heating, or hot water systems; full replacement of doors and windows; major overhauls, replacement or installation of furnace or cooling systems; electrical work; and plumbing work. In addition, to qualify all work must be performed on existing residential structures.
This survey will determine the prevailing wage rates for weatherization work on existing residential structures in these areas. All surveys must be returned by July 15, 2009 and can be submitted electronically to
09WeatherizationSurvey@dol.gov, or by calling Vanessa Shaw-Jennings, 202-693-0377 or John Frank, (202) 693-0555 both with DOL.
