This is a General Decision wage determination (NY20260002) issued January 2, 2026, establishing prevailing wage rates for construction projects in New York State. The determination covers building, heavy and highway construction types across nine counties: Albany, Columbia, Fulton, Greene, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, and Washington. Building construction excludes single-family homes and apartments up to four stories; the determination applies to heavy and highway construction projects statewide.

The document lists prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for approximately 30 construction classifications organized by trade, including asbestos/insulator workers, boilermakers, bricklayers, carpenters, electricians, elevator constructors and mechanics, engineers, ironworkers, laborers, painters, plumbers, roofers, sheet metal workers, sprinkler fitters, and truck drivers. Rates vary by county and project type (building versus heavy and highway). Wage rates range from approximately $20.53 to $73.07 per hour, with fringe benefits varying from approximately 18% to 55.14% of the base rate. Labor classifications are grouped into multiple levels with different rates based on skill, hazard exposure, and work complexity. The determination includes paid holiday provisions specific to each trade and references to Executive Orders 13706 and 13658 regarding paid sick leave and minimum wage requirements. Multiple effective dates for individual wage determinations range from July 1, 2017 through July 1, 2025, with modification number 0 published January 2, 2026, superseding general decision NY20250002.
