The official source: binding Davis-Bacon and Service Contract Act wage determinations are published by the U.S. Department of Labor at SAM.gov Wage Determinations. This site indexes them and links every determination to its official document - the determination incorporated into a contract governs.
This page collects every classification in South Dakota's active federal determinations that is a form of heavy equipment operator work (cranes, excavators, dozers, loaders and other power equipment) and shows the rate published for it. Determinations name a classification the way the underlying union agreement or wage survey named it, so the wording varies between them; the rate and the fringe are reproduced exactly as published.
