This is a General Decision wage determination document (MN20260045, issued 05/18/2026) establishing prevailing wage rates for building construction work in Minnesota counties of Dakota. The determination applies to federal contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act awarded on or after January 1, 2017, and supersedes previous determinations.

The document lists prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for over 80 construction classifications, including equipment operators, laborers, truck drivers, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, and specialized trades. Wage rates range from $16.85 to $62.52 per hour, with fringe benefits ranging from 6.49% to 36.48%. Rate identifiers indicate whether rates are union-negotiated (SU), weighted union averages (UAVG), survey-based (SU), or state-adopted (SA). The determination includes specific notes regarding Executive Orders 13706 and 13658, establishing paid sick leave requirements and minimum wage thresholds for federal contractors. Additional classifications may be added after award if work is outside the listed scope. The document provides instructions for wage determination appeals, directing initial inquiries to the Branch of Wage Surveys for survey-related matters and the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations for other wage determination issues, with subsequent appeal processes available through the Wage and Hour Administrator and Administrative Review Board.
