This document is a General Decision wage determination for federal construction contracts in Massachusetts, effective May 18, 2026 (Modification 1), covering building construction types across eight counties: Barnstable, Bristol, Dukes, Essex, Middlesex, Nantucket, Norfolk, and Suffolk.

The wage determination establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for approximately 50+ job classifications across multiple trade categories including insulators/asbestos workers, hazardous material handlers, boilermakers, bricklayers, plasterers, carpenters, electricians, elevator mechanics, power equipment operators, ironworkers, laborers, painters, plumbers, pipefitters, roofers, sprinkler fitters, sheet metal workers, and truck drivers. Rates vary by geographic zone and county subdivision, ranging from approximately $27 to $72 per hour for base wages, with fringe benefit percentages typically between 12.70% and 48.78%. Specific rates are identified by classification code (e.g., ASBE0006-001, BRMA0001-008) with effective dates ranging from 2023 to 2025. Rate identifiers indicate whether classifications reflect union negotiated rates, weighted union averages, survey rates, or state-adopted rates. The determination includes footnotes addressing Executive Orders 13706 and 13658 requirements for paid sick leave and minimum wage thresholds for certain covered workers. Unlisted classifications may be added post-award in accordance with 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iii). The wage determination appeals process is outlined, directing inquiries to the Department of Labor's Branch of Wage Surveys or Branch of Construction Wage Determinations.
