This is a Prevailing Wage Determination document (General Decision Number HI20260001, dated 01/16/2026) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor for construction projects in Hawaii. The determination supersedes HI20250001 and applies statewide across all Hawaiian counties to building construction projects (residential structures up to four stories), heavy and dredging construction, and highway construction projects.

The document establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for approximately 50+ classified occupations and trade groups required on covered federal construction contracts. Key wage rates include Asbestos Workers/Insulators at $46.90/hour plus $29.75 fringe; Carpenters ranging from $55.50 to $55.75/hour plus $29.81 fringe; Electricians from $41.00 to $63.90/hour with fringes between 16.28% and 33.38%; Laborers from $31.40 to $44.75/hour plus 21.37% to 25.96% fringe; and Ironworkers at $50.50/hour plus $43.46 fringe. Specialized rates apply for Power Equipment Operators (Groups 1-13E ranging $57.66-$61.32/hour), Dredging classifications, and Landscape & Irrigation Laborers (Groups 1-3 from $23.00 to $29.40/hour). Additional hourly premiums apply for crane operators working with booms of 80+ feet or leads of 100+ feet, structured in tiered increments up to $1.75/hour. The determination includes detailed classification definitions for all major trade categories and notes applicability of Executive Orders 13706 and 13658 regarding paid sick leave and minimum wage requirements for federal contractors, with guidance on wage determination appeals processes directed to the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division.
