The threshold for the payment of prevailing wages on public works projects in Montana is $25,000. The Montana Little Davis-Bacon Act requires at least 50% of the employees of each contractor working on the public works jobs be bona fide Montana residents. Specifically excluded from the law are employees engaged in engineering, superintendence, management, office or clerical work or consulting contracts, contracts with commercial suppliers for goods and supplies, or contractors with professionals licensed under state law.
