This document is a General Decision (Wage Determination ID20260051) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor, effective May 18, 2026, establishing prevailing wage rates for heavy construction work in Idaho Counties.

The determination applies to construction projects in Idaho counties and specifies wage rates and fringe benefits for multiple job classifications across different geographic zones. Key classifications include carpenters, electricians, power equipment operators (groups 1-10 covering cranes, bulldozers, backhoes, scrapers, graders, rollers, and front-end loaders), ironworkers, laborers (common, pipeline, and asphalt), cement masons, truck drivers, and equipment operators. Wage rates are differentiated by geographic zones, with Zone 1 (0-45 miles from designated post offices including Spokane, Pasco, and Lewiston) and Zone 2 (45+ miles) establishing base rates, and some classifications including additional zone differentials. Rates range from approximately $21.00 to $49.55 per hour for wages, with fringe benefits ranging from 0.00 to 30.27 percent. Boom pay and scale adjustments apply to crane operators for equipment over specified tonnages and heights. The document includes detailed specifications for zone measurements based on U.S. post office locations in Boise, Twin Falls, Pocatello, and Idaho Falls. Executive Orders 13706 and 13658 provisions regarding paid sick leave and minimum wage requirements are noted as applicable to Davis-Bacon Act contracts. The determination includes guidance on union rate identifiers, survey rates, and state-adopted rates, along with procedures for wage determination appeals directed to the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division.
