WisDOT Construction Staking Guidelines

This document provides guidelines for classifying and paying workers performing construction staking on Wisconsin DOT highway contracts. It outlines two classifications - Line and Grade Specialist-General Laborer for manual labor tasks like clearing, pounding stakes, and setting grade stakes, and a technical/professional classification for tasks like operating instruments and calculations. It states that weekly certified payrolls must show manual labor paid at prevailing wages under the Line and Grade Specialist classification. For mixed crews, at least one member should have the majority of hours classified as manual labor. Employer payrolls must accurately reflect the work performed.
