This document is a General Decision wage determination (MA20260001) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor for federal construction projects in Massachusetts, effective May 18, 2026 (Modification 1). The determination applies to building construction in eight Massachusetts counties: Barnstable, Bristol, Dukes, Essex, Middlesex, Nantucket, Norfolk, and Suffolk.

The wage determination establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for numerous construction classifications organized by trade. Rates vary by geographic zone and classification. Examples include insulators/asbestos workers at $55.45 per hour with $36.63 fringes, boilermakers at $50.62/$28.82, bricklayers at $60.26-$64.50 depending on location, carpenters at $39.28-$61.19, electricians at $36.12-$66.17, ironworkers at $43.03-$57.87, laborers at $27.01-$46.10 across multiple groups, plumbers at $52.49-$69.84, roofers at $53.53, sheet metal workers at $43.60-$60.00, and truck drivers at $40.78-$41.82. Fringe benefits range from approximately 12.70% to 48.78% of base wages. The determination includes notes regarding Executive Orders 13706 and 13658 for paid sick leave and minimum wage requirements for certain Davis-Bacon contracts. The document provides detailed explanations of rate identifiers (union rates, union average rates, survey rates, and state-adopted rates) and includes procedures for wage determination appeals through the Department of Labor's Branch of Wage Surveys and Branch of Construction Wage Determinations.
