6. Independent Contractor Status/Labor Relations: The parties agree that Contractor

normal place of business and shall be made no later than the first day of services provided under this

paid the applicable standard prevailing rate of wages.
In the event that, during the term of this Agreement, any labor problems or disputes of any
type arise or materialize which in turn cause any services to cease for any period of time, Contractor
specifically agrees to take immediate steps, at its own expense and without expectation of
reimbursement from City, to alleviate or resolve all such labor problems or disputes. The specific
steps Contractor shall take shall be left to the discretion of Contractor; provided, however, that
Contractor shall bear all costs of any related legal action. Contractor shall provide immediate relief
to the City so as to permit the services to continue at no additional cost to City.
Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold the City harmless from any and all claims,
demands, costs, expenses, damages, and liabilities arising out of, resulting from, or occurring in
connection with any labor problems or disputes or any delays or stoppages of work associated with

and costs (including attorney’s fees and the costs and fees of expert witness and consultants), losses,
expenses, liabilities (including liability where activity is inherently or intrinsically dangerous) or
damages of whatever kind or nature connected therewith and without limit and without regard to the

of indemnity that would otherwise exist. The indemnification obligations of this Section must not be

indemnitee(s) which would otherwise exist as to such indemnitee(s).

contribution from any insurance maintained by City.
Should the City be required to bring an action against the Contractor to assert its right to
defense or indemnification under this Agreement or under the Contractor’s applicable insurance
policies required below, the City shall be entitled to recover reasonable costs and attorney fees
incurred in asserting its right to indemnification or defense but only if a court of competent
jurisdiction determines the Contractor was obligated to defend the claim(s) or was obligated to
indemnify the City for a claim(s) or any portion(s) thereof.
In the event of an action filed against the City resulting from the City’s performance under
this Agreement, the City may elect to represent itself and incur all costs and expenses of suit.
Contractor also waives any and all claims and recourse against the City, including the right of
contribution for loss or damage to person or property arising from, growing out of, or in any way
connected with or incident to the performance of this Agreement except “responsibility for [City’s]

A.Date of Publication
B.Definition of Building Construction
For the purposes of Prevailing Wage, the Commissioner of Labor and Industry has determined that building
construction occupations are defined to be those performed by a person engaged in a recognized trade or craft, or any
skilled, semi-skilled, or unskilled manual labor related to the construction, alteration, or repair of a public building or
facility, and does not include engineering, superintendence, management, office or clerical work.
The Administrative Rules of Montana (ARM), 24.17.501(2) – 2(c), states “Building construction projects generally are the
constructions of sheltered enclosures with walk-in access for housing persons, machinery, equipment, or supplies. It
includes all construction of such structures, incidental installation of utilities and equipment, both above and below grade
level, as well as incidental grading, utilities and paving.
Examples of building construction include, but are not limited to, alterations and additions to buildings, apartment
buildings (5 stories and above), arenas (closed), auditoriums, automobile parking garages, banks and financial buildings,
barracks, churches, city halls, civic centers, commercial buildings, court houses, detention facilities, dormitories, farm
buildings, fire stations, hospitals, hotels, industrial buildings, institutional buildings, libraries, mausoleums, motels,
museums, nursing and convalescent facilities, office buildings, out-patient clinics, passenger and freight terminal
buildings, police stations, post offices, power plants, prefabricated buildings, remodeling buildings, renovating buildings,
repairing buildings, restaurants, schools, service stations, shopping centers, stores, subway stations, theaters, warehouses, water and sewage treatment plants (buildings only), etc.”
C.Definition of Public Works Contract
Section 18-2-401(11)(a), MCA defines “public works contract” as “…a contract for construction services let by the
state, county, municipality, school district, or political subdivision or for nonconstruction services let by the state,
county, municipality, or political subdivision in which the total cost of the contract is in excess of $25,000…”.
D.Prevailing Wage Schedule
This publication covers only Building Construction occupations and rates. These rates will remain in effect untilsuperseded by a more current publication. Current prevailing wage rate schedules for Heavy Construction, HighwayConstruction, and Nonconstruction Services occupations can be found on the department's website at https://
erd.dli.mt.gov/labor-standards/state-prevailing-wage-rates/ or by contacting the department at (406) 444-6543.
E.Rates to Use for Projects
ARM, 24.17.127(1)(c), states “The wage rates applicable to a particular public works project are those in effect at the
time the bid specifications are advertised.”
F.Wage Rate Adjustments for Multiyear Contracts
Section 18-2-417, MCA states:
“(1) Any public works contract that by the terms of the original contract calls for more than 30 months to fully perform
must include a provision to adjust, as provided in subsection (2), the standard prevailing rate of wages to be paid to the
workers performing the contract.
(2) The standard prevailing rate of wages paid to workers under a contract subject to this section must be adjusted 12
months after the date of the award of the public works contract. The amount of the adjustment must be a 3% increase.
The adjustment must be made and applied every 12 months for the term of the contract.
(3) Any increase in the standard rate of prevailing wages for workers under this section is the sole responsibility of the
contractor and any subcontractors and not the contracting agency.”
4
G. Fringe Benefits
Section 18-2-412, MCA states:
“(1) To fulfill the obligation...a contractor or subcontractor may:
(a) pay the amount of fringe benefits and the basic hourly rate of pay that is part of the standard prevailing rate of wages
directly to the worker or employee in cash;
(b) make an irrevocable contribution to a trustee or a third person pursuant to a fringe benefit fund, plan, or program that
meets the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or that is a bona fide program
approved by the U. S. department of labor; or
(c) make payments using any combination of methods set forth in subsections (1)(a) and (1)(b) so that the aggregate of
payments and contributions is not less than the standard prevailing rate of wages, including fringe benefits and travel
allowances, applicable to the district for the particular type of work being performed.
(2)The fringe benefit fund, plan, or program described in subsection (1)(b) must provide benefits to workers or
employees for health care, pensions on retirement or death, life insurance, disability and sickness insurance, or bona fide
programs that meet the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or that are approved by
the U. S. department of labor.”
Fringe benefits are paid for all hours worked (straight time and overtime hours). However, fringe benefits are not to be
considered a part of the hourly rate of pay for calculating overtime, unless there is a collectively bargained agreement in
effect that specifies otherwise.
H.Prevailing Wage Districts
Montana counties are aggregated into four districts for the purpose of prevailing wage. The prevailing wage districts arecomposed of the following counties, per ARM 24.17.107:
5
I.Dispatch City
Section 18-2-411(6), MCA, defines dispatch city as “...the courthouse in the city from the following list which is closest to
the center of the job: Billings, Bozeman, Butte, Great Falls, Helena, Kalispell, Miles City, Missoula and Sidney.” A dispatch
city shall be considered the point of origin only for jobs within the counties identified in that district (as shown below):
District 1 – Kalispell and Missoula: includes Flathead, Lake, Lincoln, Mineral, Missoula, Ravalli, and Sanders; District 2 – Butte and Helena: includes Beaverhead, Broadwater, Deer Lodge, Glacier, Granite, Jefferson, Lewis and Clark,
Liberty, Madison, Pondera, Powell, Silver Bow, Teton, and Toole;
District 3 – Bozeman and Great Falls: includes Blaine, Cascade, Chouteau, Fergus, Gallatin, Golden Valley, Hill, Judith Basin,
Meagher, Park, Petroleum, Phillips, Sweet Grass, and Wheatland; District 4 – Billings, Miles City and Sidney: includes Big Horn, Carbon, Carter, Custer, Daniels, Dawson, Fallon, Garfield, McCone, Musselshell, Powder River, Prairie, Richland, Roosevelt, Rosebud, Sheridan, Stillwater, Treasure, Valley, Wibaux, and
Yellowstone.
J.Zone PayZone pay is not travel pay. ARM, 24.17.103(25), defines zone pay as “...an amount added to the base pay; the combinedsum then becomes the new base wage rate to be paid for all hours worked on the project. Zone pay must be determined
by measuring the road miles one way over the shortest practical maintained route from the dispatch city to the center of
the job.” See section I above for a list of dispatch cities.
K.Computing Travel Benefits
ARM, 24.17.103(23), states “‘Travel pay,’ also referred to as ‘travel allowance,’ is and must be paid for travel both to and
from the job site, except those with special provisions listed under the classification. The rate is determined by measuring
the road miles one direction over the shortest practical maintained route from the dispatch city or the employee's home,
whichever is closer, to the center of the job.” See section I above for a list of dispatch cities.
L. Per Diem
ARM, 24.17.103(19), states “‘Per diem’ typically covers costs associated with board and lodging expenses. Per diem ispaid when an employee is required to work at a location outside the daily commuting distance and is required to stay atthat location overnight or longer.”
M.ApprenticesWage rates for apprentices registered in approved federal or state apprenticeship programs are contained in thoseprograms. Additionally, Section 18-2-416(2), MCA states “…The full amount of any applicable fringe benefits must be paid
to the apprentice while the apprentice is working on the public works contract.” Apprentices not registered in approved
federal or state apprenticeship programs will be paid the appropriate journey level prevailing wage rate when working on a
public works contract.
N.Posting Notice of Prevailing Wages
Section 18-2-406, MCA provides that contractors, subcontractors and employers who are “…performing work or providing
construction services under public works contracts, as provided in this part, shall post in a prominent and accessible site
on the project or staging area, not later than the first day of work and continuing for the entire duration of the project, alegible statement of all wages and fringe benefits to be paid to the employees.”
O.Employment Preference
Sections 18-2-403 and 18-2-409, MCA requires contractors to give preference to the employment of bona fide Montanaresidents in the performance of work on public works contracts.
6
P. Projects of a Mixed Nature
Section 18-2-418, MCA states:
“(1) The contracting agency shall determine, based on the preponderance of labor hours to be worked, whether the
public works construction services project is classified as a highway construction project, a heavy construction project, or
a building construction project.
(2) Once the project has been classified, employees in each trade classification who are working on that project must be
paid at the rate for that project classification”
Q.Occupations Definitions
You can find definitions for these occupations on the following Bureau of Labor Statistics website:http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_stru.htm
R.Welder Rates
Welders receive the rate prescribed for the craft performing an operation to which welding is incidental.
S.Foreman Rates
Rates are no longer set for foremen. However, if a foreman performs journey level work, the foreman must be paid at
least the journey level rate.
