This is a Wage Determination document issued by the U.S. Department of Labor for Salt Lake County, Utah, applicable to the Volunteers of America Youth Resource Center Fence/Security contract (HCD25110CH), a CDBG-funded project. The wage determination establishes prevailing wage rates for building construction projects in Salt Lake County and lists detailed hourly rates and fringe benefits for various skilled trades required for the electronic rolling security gate and fencing installation project. The document specifies rates effective as of January 2, 2026, and must be locked by signing the contract within 90 days of the wage determination issuance date of February 27, 2026. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for March 17, 2026, and the contract will remain in effect until final completion and formal acceptance of the work. The project involves furnishing and installing a complete, code-compliant electronic rolling security gate system with access control pedestal and perimeter fencing for the staff parking lot at the Youth Resource Center in Salt Lake City.

The wage determination applies prevailing wage requirements under the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts (DBRA), which are mandatory for all contractors and subcontractors. Hourly wage rates range from $9.50 (Landscape and Irrigation Laborer) to $55.43 (Elevator Mechanic), with fringe benefit rates varying by classification. Key trades applicable to fencing and gate installation include Carpenter ($20.66-$31.66 depending on specialization), Electrician ($31.86-$41.23 for various electrical work), Plumber/Pipefitter ($46.10), and Sheet Metal Worker ($46.79). The project is funded entirely by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and requires compliance with Executive Order 13706 regarding paid sick leave (1 hour per 30 hours worked, up to 56 hours annually) and Executive Order 13658 minimum wage requirements ($13.30 per hour or applicable prevailing wage, whichever is higher). All pricing must be firm and fixed for the contract duration, with the award to the lowest cost responsive and responsible bidder following completion of required CDBG pre-construction compliance requirements. The compliance analyst for wage determination questions is Madeline Martinez at MadeMartinez@saltlakecounty.gov.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.

Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts.

Note: Executive Order 13658 generally applies to contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act that were awarded on or between January 1, 2015 and January 29, 2022, and that have not been renewed or extended on or after January 30, 2022. Executive Order 13658 does not apply to contracts subject only to the Davis-Bacon Related Acts regardless of when they were awarded.

If a contract is subject to Executive Order 13658, the contractor must pay all covered workers at least $13.30 per hour (or the applicable wage rate listed on this wage determination, if it is higher) for all hours spent performing on the contract in 2025. The applicable Executive Order minimum wage rate will be adjusted annually. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under Executive Order 13658 is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (iii)).

The body of each wage determination lists the classifications and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the type(s) of construction and geographic area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order under rate identifiers indicating whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate), a survey rate, a weighted union average rate, a state adopted rate, or a supplemental classification rate.

Union Rate Identifiers

A four-letter identifier beginning with characters other than ""SU"", ""UAVG"", ?SA?, or ?SC? denotes that a union rate was prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:

PLUM0198-005 07/01/2024. PLUM is an identifier of the union whose collectively bargained rate prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers.

2/27/26, 12:04 PM SAM.gov https://sam.gov/wage-determination/UT20260085/0 3/6

For questions or additional assistance, contact your compliance analyst, 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. The date, 07/01/2024 in the example, is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate.

Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all changes over time that are reported to WHD in the rates in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing the classification.

Union Average Rate Identifiers

The UAVG identifier indicates that no single rate prevailed for those classifications, but that 100% of the data reported for the classifications reflected union rates. EXAMPLE:

UAVG-OH-0010 01/01/2024. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the State of Ohio.

The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. The date, 01/01/2024 in the example, indicates the date the wage determination was updated to reflect the most current union average rate.

A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January, to reflect a weighted average of the current rates in the collective bargaining agreements on which the rate is based.

Survey Rate Identifiers

The ""SU"" identifier indicates that either a single non-union rate prevailed (as defined in 29 CFR 1.2) for this classification in the survey or that the rate was derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As a weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SUFL2022-007 6/27/2024. SU indicates the rate is a single non-union prevailing rate or a weighted average of survey data for that classification. FL indicates the State of Florida. 2022 is the year of the survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. The date, 6/27/2024 in the example, indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

?SU? wage rates typically remain in effect until a new survey is conducted. However, the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) has the discretion to update such rates under 29 CFR 1.6(c)(1).

State Adopted Rate Identifiers

The ""SA"" identifier indicates that the classifications and prevailing wage rates set by a state (or local) government were adopted under 29 C.F.R 1.3(g)-(h). Example: SAME2023-007 01/03/2024. SA reflects that the rates are state adopted. ME refers to the State of Maine. 2023 is the year during which the state completed the survey on which the listed classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination.

The date, 01/03/2024 in the example, reflects the date on which the classifications and rates under the ?SA? identifier took effect under state law in the state from which the rates were adopted.
