Government Projects & Prevailing Wage

Prevailing wage roofing projects are funded by federal, state, or municipal agencies and are governed by labor laws that require contractors to pay a predetermined hourly rate, set by the U.S. Department of Labor or the state’s labor department, for each trade classification. These rates, defined under the Davis–Bacon Act and Pennsylvania’s Prevailing Wage Act, ensure wage fairness and consistency across public projects. Unlike private-sector work, these jobs demand certified payroll reporting, labor classifications, and strict adherence to compliance documentation. RTG Solutions has extensive experience performing under these regulations, maintaining full transparency and accountability from bid through final inspection.

Public-sector agencies rely on contractors who understand procurement, compliance, and accountability. RTG Solutions is a certified Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) and operates within a HUBZone, meeting federal inclusion goals while offering agencies a reliable, prequalified vendor. Our Omnia Partners cooperative purchasing contracts allow projects to move forward in under 30 days without the delays of traditional bidding. Beyond credentials, RTG provides documented safety training, bonding, and OSHA compliance, giving procurement officers the confidence that every dollar is spent responsibly and every project meets performance and legal standards.

RTG maintains a fully auditable workflow that includes certified payroll submissions, worker classification tracking, and daily field logs. All wage rates, fringe benefits, and hours are recorded and verified before billing to ensure accuracy and adherence to the latest Davis–Bacon wage determinations. Our team stays up to date with federal and state wage decisions, apprenticeship ratios, and subcontractor reporting obligations. By controlling compliance in-house rather than outsourcing it, RTG prevents costly administrative errors and protects both the contracting agency and the project’s funding source from audit risk.

RTG Solutions provides roofing services for a wide range of public and institutional facilities, including educational centers, administrative offices, forestry and natural-resource buildings, transportation facilities, and historic preservation sites. Our portfolio includes projects for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Pennsylvania Game Commission, and other state and municipal agencies as well as local community buildings like the Maxwell Building or the Church of the Immaculate Conception. Whether the scope involves flat-roof replacements, coatings, or emergency repairs, RTG adapts to the unique operational needs of public properties, completing work safely, efficiently, and within the regulatory framework of each agency.

Cooperative purchasing allows agencies to bypass lengthy public bidding cycles while maintaining compliance with procurement regulations. Through the Omnia Partners network, RTG Solutions provides pre-negotiated, competitively bid contract pricing that meets federal and state purchasing standards. This streamlined process reduces project approval times from 200+ days to less than a month, minimizes administrative overhead, and ensures transparent cost validation. For facility managers and procurement officers, cooperative purchasing eliminates uncertainty and accelerates project delivery without sacrificing oversight or auditability.

Government and prevailing wage projects require the highest levels of safety performance and quality assurance. RTG’s crews maintain OSHA 30-hour certifications, follow detailed job-hazard analyses, and implement site-specific safety plans for every project. Each phase (removal, installation, coating, or inspection) is documented with photo verification and progress reporting. Our Quality Assurance Program includes pre-construction meetings, mid-project inspections, and post-completion testing to verify that every roof meets manufacturer specifications, warranty standards, and agency expectations. The result is a durable, compliant, and fully documented roofing system that stands up to both weather and audit scrutiny.
