This document is a General Decision wage determination for heavy construction projects in Montana, issued by the U.S. Department of Labor, effective January 3, 2025. The wage determination covers Beaverhead, Broadwater, Deer Lodge, Gallatin, Granite, Jefferson, Lewis and Clark, Madison, Meagher, Powell, Silver Bow, and Yellowstone National Park Counties, and establishes prevailing wage rates for various construction job classifications.

The document specifies minimum hourly wage rates for different worker categories, including bricklayers, electricians, line construction workers, power equipment operators, and laborers. Rates vary by county and job classification, ranging from $15.14 to $48.65 per hour, with additional zone-based adjustments for travel distance. The wage determination is tied to Executive Orders 14026 and 13658, which mandate minimum wage rates for federal contract workers, and includes provisions for annual wage rate updates and a detailed appeals process for wage determinations.
