Key trades include asbestos workers/heat and frost insulators ($37.65 base wage, 30.69 fringes), electricians ($37.40-$44.20, 27.44-32.90 fringes), carpenters ($32.28-$34.26, 25.36-25.94 fringes), laborers (ranging from $32.45-$37.45 with consistent 41.36% fringe multipliers), roofers ($34.96-$35.11, 26.03 fringes), plumbers ($42.20, 29.80 fringes), and various equipment operators and specialized workers. The determination includes classification-specific footnotes addressing vacation accrual, paid holidays, and executive order requirements regarding paid sick leave (EO 13706) and minimum wage thresholds (EO 13658). Union rate identifiers, union average rate identifiers, survey rate identifiers, and state-adopted rate identifiers are explained with examples.
