A6 Attachment 5 General Decision AZ20260005 01022026.pdf

This is a General Decision wage determination issued by the Department of Labor under the Davis-Bacon Act for residential construction projects on Navajo Indian Reservation land in Apache, Coconino, and Navajo Counties, Arizona. The determination establishes prevailing wage rates for various construction classifications effective January 2, 2026, superseding a previous determination from 2025.

The document specifies hourly wage rates for 13 construction classifications including Carpenter (including Formwork and Framing) at $10.00, Cement Mason/Concrete Finisher at $8.96, Electrician at $12.76, Plumber at $11.07, Roofer at $8.76, and other skilled trades. Rates are identified by type—union rates (four-letter identifiers beginning with characters other than "SU," "UAVG," "SA," or "SC"), weighted union average rates (UAVG identifiers), survey rates (SU identifiers), and state-adopted rates (SA identifiers)—with their respective effective dates. The determination applies to residential construction consisting of single-family homes and apartments up to four stories. Additional requirements include compliance with Executive Order 13706 regarding paid sick leave for federal contractors (1 hour per 30 hours worked, up to 56 hours annually) and Executive Order 13658 establishing a minimum wage of $13.30 per hour for covered workers in 2025. The document provides contact information for wage determination appeals, including the Branch of Wage Surveys and Branch of Construction Wage Determinations at the Department of Labor, with procedures for requesting reconsideration and administrative review.
