This is a General Decision wage determination document (NM20260001) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor establishing prevailing wage rates for federal construction contracts in Bernalillo County, New Mexico, effective May 18, 2026.

The wage determination covers residential construction projects consisting of single-family homes and apartments up to four stories. The document establishes hourly rates and fringe benefits for multiple job classifications, including plumbers ($22.84/hour with $7.33 fringe), truck drivers ($9.00-$10.00/hour), sheet metal workers ($10.81/hour), roofers ($9.83/hour), carpenters ($11.95/hour with $0.30 fringe), electricians ($14.15/hour with $2.39 fringe), laborers in various categories ($7.25-$10.00/hour), and cement masons/concrete finishers ($10.62/hour). The determination includes applicable notes on Executive Orders 13706 (paid sick leave requirements for covered contractors) and 13658 (minimum wage rates of $13.65/hour effective May 11, 2026, adjusted annually). Classification identifiers indicate whether rates are union rates (marked with prefixes such as PLUM, SUN), union average rates (UAVG), survey rates (SU), or state-adopted rates (SA). The document provides guidance on the wage determination appeals process, directing inquiries to the Branch of Wage Surveys or Branch of Construction Wage Determinations at the Department of Labor, with procedures for administrative reconsideration and appeals to the Administrative Review Board.
