21 DOL Stark County Wage Determination 1.19.26.pdf

This is a General Decision wage determination issued by the U.S. Department of Labor under the Davis-Bacon Act for building construction projects in Carroll and Stark Counties, Ohio. The determination, numbered OH20260106, was published on January 2, 2026, and supersedes a previous decision (OH20250106).

The wage determination applies to building construction projects excluding single-family homes and apartments up to four stories. It establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for 27 construction classifications, including asbestos workers, bricklayers, tile setters, tile finishers, carpenters, electricians, power equipment operators, ironworkers, laborers, painters, glaziers, plumbers, pipefitters, roofers, sheet metal workers, and various equipment operators. Wage rates range from $22.55 to $47.48 per hour, with fringe benefits ranging from $0.00 to $37.20 per hour. The rates use multiple identifiers: union rates (four-letter codes beginning with characters other than "SU," "UAVG," "?SA?" or "?SC?"), weighted union average rates (UAVG identifiers), survey rates (SU identifiers), and state-adopted rates (SA identifiers), each with corresponding effective dates. The determination includes notes regarding Executive Orders 13706 and 13658 regarding paid sick leave requirements and minimum wage obligations. Unlisted classifications needed for work not included may be added after award per 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iii). An appeals process is outlined for wage determination disputes, with initial contacts directed to the appropriate Department of Labor branches.
