Classifications include carpenters, cement masons, electricians, equipment operators (backhoe, bulldozer, excavator, loader, and roller), laborers, pipe layers, and truck drivers. The document notes three modification updates issued on January 2, 2026, May 18, 2026, and October 15, 2026. Rate identifiers indicate whether rates are union-negotiated, weighted union averages, survey rates, or state-adopted rates, with survey completion dates ranging from 2022 to 2024. The determination references Executive Order 13786 regarding paid sick leave requirements for federal contractors and Executive Order 13658 regarding minimum wage requirements for Davis-Bacon Act covered contracts.
