This is a Wage Determination document (General Decision Number IA20260074) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor for building construction projects in Iowa counties, effective May 18, 2026.

The document establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for various construction trade classifications required on federal construction contracts in Iowa.

Rates are classified by union identifiers (indicated by prefixes such as ◆SU◆ for survey rates, ◆UAVG◆ for union average rates, ◆SA◆ for state-adopted rates, and ◆SC◆ for supplemental classifications). The determination includes two modifications, with Modification 0 published January 2, 2026, and Modification 1 published May 18, 2026. Executive Order 13706 regarding paid sick leave applies to contracts awarded on or after January 1, 2017, requiring contractors to provide one hour of paid sick leave per 30 hours worked (up to 56 hours annually).
