My experience in Texas is consistent with Dana¹s. The classifications are an odd fit. So we always made sure our technicians knew what they had been classified as. Not that it really mattered to them in practice. In my limited experience, working on projects with David-Bacon Act requirements did not impact the crew in the field, and meeting the prevailing wage standard was never an issue. Instead, the impact was in the office and hit the bottom line in the form of higher administrative costs.
