This is a General Decision document (CT20260010) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor establishing prevailing wage rates for residential construction projects in Connecticut Counties, specifically the New Haven area, effective May 18, 2026. The document applies to residential construction projects consisting of single-family homes and apartments up to and including four stories.

The wage determination lists prevailing hourly rates and fringe benefits for multiple construction classifications across the covered counties, with certain townships excluded from specific rates. Key classifications include Electricians (ranging from $46.48 to $47.40 per hour plus fringes), Power Equipment Operators in various categories ($48.67 to $53.33 per hour plus fringes), Glaziers ($41.18 plus $24.55 fringes), Roofers ($44.50 plus $24.80 fringes), Sprinkler Fitters ($49.98 plus $33.44 fringes), Sheet Metal Workers ($44.70 plus $44.50 fringes), and other trades including Plumbers, Painters, Laborers, Carpenters, and Cement Masons. The document includes rate identifiers indicating whether rates are union rates, weighted union averages, survey rates, or state-adopted rates, with effective dates specified for each classification. Additionally, the document references Executive Orders 13706 and 13658 regarding paid sick leave and minimum wage requirements for federal contractors, and provides guidance on wage determination appeals processes through the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division.
