Att.5-C04-DBA Wage Determination.pdf

This is a General Decision wage determination document (CO20260001, effective 05/18/2026) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor for construction projects in Colorado. The determination establishes prevailing wage rates for building construction activities across 47 Colorado counties, including major population centers (Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs) and rural areas.

The document lists prevailing wage classifications and hourly rates for skilled trades including asbestos workers, bricklayers, carpenters, electricians, elevator mechanics, ironworkers, laborers, glaziers, cement masons, plumbers, pipefitters, roofers, and sheet metal workers. Rates vary by county and classification, ranging from approximately $13.41 to $56.57 per hour for straight time, with fringe benefit rates typically between 0.00% and 38.44%. Rate identifiers indicate whether rates derive from union collective bargaining agreements (current negotiated rates), weighted union averages (UAVG), survey data (SU), or state-adopted rates (SA). The determination includes special provisions for elevator mechanics with vacation and holiday pay calculations, and references Executive Order 13706 regarding paid sick leave requirements for federal contractors. Contractors performing work on Davis-Bacon Act covered projects must comply with these prevailing wage rates. The document also provides procedures for wage determination appeals, directing inquiries to the Branch of Wage Surveys or Branch of Construction Wage Determinations at the U.S. Department of Labor.
