Attachment 7 - DBA WD CA20260007 Amend 04.pdf

This document is a General Decision wage determination (CA20260007) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor, effective September 3, 2026, establishing prevailing wage rates for construction work in California. The decision covers building, heavy and highway construction projects across 24 California counties (Alpine, Amador, Butte, Colusa, El Dorado, Glenn, Lassen, Marin, Modoc, Napa, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Sacramento, Shasta, Sierra, Siskiyou, Solano, Sonoma, Sutter, Tehama, Trinity, Yolo, and Yuba), with specific exclusions noted for Amador County building projects only.

The wage determination lists prevailing hourly rates and fringe benefits for over 100 construction classifications across multiple project types and geographic areas within the state. Rates are segmented by work category (asbestos workers, boilermakers, carpenters, electricians, laborers, ironworkers, painters, plumbers, roofers, sheet metal workers, truck drivers, and equipment operators) with variations based on county groupings and specific work conditions. Many classifications include premium pay for specialty work such as high-altitude painting, underground utility work, tunnel boring, dredging operations, and deep foundation work. Fringe benefit percentages typically range from 12.75% to 49.40% depending on classification. The determination includes multiple modification dates (January 23, 2026, May 18, 2026, and September 3, 2026) reflecting updates to prevailing rates. Special notes address Executive Orders 13706 and 13658 regarding paid sick leave requirements for federal contractors. Union rate identifiers, survey rates, and state-adopted rates are noted where applicable, providing transparency on the source of wage determinations.
