Attachment 2 - Wage Determination - Heavy.pdf

This is a General Decision (Wage Determination) document issued by the U.S. Department of Labor for Nevada heavy construction projects in Clark County, effective June 25, 2026.

The document establishes prevailing wage rates for various construction trades and labor classifications required for federal contracts in the designated geographic area. Wage rates are categorized by skill level and job classification, ranging from truck drivers and laborers at approximately $37-$40 per hour to operating engineers and specialized equipment operators at $60-$72 per hour, with fringe benefits (typically $20-$40 per hour) added for most classifications. Notable classifications include well drillers ($45.24 base rate), traffic barrier operators, sheet metal workers, refrigeration mechanics, plumbers, pile drivers, and extensive categories of operating engineers for various equipment types (cranes, compactors, excavators, and tunneling equipment). The determination specifically excludes the Nevada Test Site (NTS), Tonopah Test Range (TTR), and National Test and Training Range (NTTR). Two modifications to the base determination (issued 06/22/2026 and updated 06/25/2026) include additional classifications for ironworkers, electricians, and welders, with rates effective from separate issuance dates. The document provides guidance on wage determination appeals processes and explains the rate identifier system (union rates, union average rates, survey rates, and state-adopted rates) used in the prevailing wage determination structure.
