Attachment 3 - DBA - WD NM20260044 - 2026.05.18.pdf

This document is a General Decision establishing prevailing wage rates for federal construction contracts in Bernalillo County, New Mexico, effective May 18, 2026 (Modification 1).

The decision specifies prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for building construction work across multiple classifications, including asbestos workers, carpenters, electricians, elevator mechanics, ironworkers, laborers, plasterers, plumbers, sprinkler fitters, sheet metal workers, painters, and welders. Hourly rates range from $16.51 to $53.35, with fringe benefit percentages ranging from 2.14% to 38.44%. Rates are identified by classification codes indicating whether they derive from union rates (identified by four-letter codes beginning with characters other than ◆SU◆, ◆UAVG◆, ◆SA◆, or ◆SC◆), union average rates (◆UAVG◆), survey rates (◆SU◆), or state-adopted rates (◆SA◆). Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect changes in collective bargaining agreements, while union average rates update annually in January. The document also specifies that Executive Order 13706 on paid sick leave applies to Davis-Bacon Act contracts awarded on or after January 1, 2017, requiring one hour of paid sick leave per 30 hours worked, up to 56 hours annually, with specific permitted uses outlined. Executive Order 13658 applies to contracts awarded between January 1, 2015 and January 29, 2022, establishing a minimum wage rate of $13.65 per hour through December 31, 2026. The document includes procedures for wage determination appeals, directing survey-related inquiries to the WHD Branch of Wage Surveys and other wage determination matters to the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations.
