This is a General Decision (GA20260048) wage determination document issued by the U.S. Department of Labor on May 18, 2026, establishing prevailing wage rates for residential construction projects in Georgia.

The wage determination applies to residential construction consisting of single-family homes and apartments up to and including 4 stories in seven Georgia counties: Burke, Clarke, Columbia, Madison, McDuffie, Oconee, Oglethorpe, and Richmond. The document lists prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for multiple job classifications including electricians, operating engineers, painters, sheet metal workers, truck drivers, roofers, plumbers, operators, laborers, and carpenters. Rates vary by county and classification, ranging from $8.00 per hour for some laborer positions to $38.65 per hour for electricians, with fringe benefits ranging from $0.00 to $17.70 per hour. Two modifications to the determination were issued: Modification 0 on January 2, 2026, and Modification 1 on May 18, 2026. The document includes detailed guidance on union rate identifiers (including union prevailing rates, union average rates, and survey rates), state-adopted rates, and the wage determination appeals process. Contractors must comply with Executive Order 13706 regarding paid sick leave for federal contracts awarded after January 1, 2017, and Executive Order 13658 minimum wage requirements for contracts awarded between January 1, 2015, and January 29, 2022. Inquiries regarding wage determinations should be directed to the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division.
