Attachment 5 - Wage Determination.pdf

This is a General Decision (wage determination) document issued by the U.S. Department of Labor for building construction projects in Terrebonne County, Louisiana. The document, effective January 30, 2026, supersedes General Decision LA20250046 and establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits applicable to federal construction contracts for building projects exceeding four stories in the specified geographic area.

The wage determination lists prevailing hourly rates and fringe benefits for multiple construction classifications, including asbestos workers/insulators ($32.66 base rate, $9.86 fringes), electricians ($36.00 base, $16.66 fringes), power equipment operators-crane ($23.46 base, $8.35 fringes with crane premiums of $1.75-$2.25), ironworkers ($34.75 base, $13.86 fringes), painters ($18.83 base, $9.48 fringes), cement masons/concrete finishers ($30.47 base, $7.97 fringes), plumbers/pipefitters ($33.30 base, $14.98 fringes), sheet metal workers ($26.71 base, $11.93 fringes), and multiple other trades including bricklayers, carpenters, laborers, roofers, and tile setters with varying rates. The document includes Executive Order requirements for paid sick leave and minimum wage provisions ($13.30 per hour floor for 2025, subject to annual adjustment). Rate identifiers indicate whether classifications reflect union negotiated rates, weighted union averages, survey rates, or state-adopted rates, with effective dates ranging from 2013 to 2025. The document also provides contact information for wage determination appeals through the Department of Labor's Branch of Construction Wage Determinations and Wage and Hour Administrator.
