Attachment 3- Davis Bacon Act (DBA) Wage Determination.pdf

This is a Prevailing Wage Determination document (General Decision Number TX20260245) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor on May 18, 2026, for building construction in El Paso County, Texas. The document establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits applicable to federal construction contracts in the geographic area.

The wage determination covers numerous construction trade classifications with effective dates ranging from 2014 to 2025. Rates include hourly wages and fringe benefits for skilled trades such as boilermakers ($33.17 base rate, $24.92 fringe), electricians ($29.50 base rate, $9.39 fringe), plumbers ($40.74 base rate, $15.35 fringe), and sprinkler fitters ($38.57 base rate, $24.47 fringe), along with extensive operator and laborer classifications. Union rates are identified with specific identifiers (e.g., SUTX2014-021 for union prevailing rates), while survey rates and state-adopted rates use distinct identifier formats. The document includes Executive Order requirements regarding paid sick leave (EO 13706, effective for contracts awarded after January 1, 2017) and minimum wage provisions (EO 13658, requiring contractors to pay covered workers at least $13.65 per hour from May 11, 2026, through December 31, 2026). Appeals of wage determinations should be directed to the Wage and Hour Division or the Administrative Review Board at the U.S. Department of Labor.
