Attachment 4 - Wage Determination.pdf

This is a General Decision wage determination document for federal construction contracts in Los Angeles County, California, effective January 30, 2026. The determination establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for various construction classifications across building, heavy, dredging, and highway construction projects in the county.

The document specifies hourly wage rates and fringe benefit percentages for numerous trade classifications including asbestos workers, boilermakers, bricklayers, carpenters, divers, drywall installers, electricians, elevator mechanics, engineers, ironworkers, laborers, linemen, painters, plasterers, plumbers, roofers, sheet metal workers, and truck drivers. Many classifications include multiple groups with differentiated rates based on task complexity, equipment operation, or geographic location. Premium pay provisions apply to specific military bases (additional $3.00–$10.00 per hour) and hazardous material work ($2.00 per hour). Engineer zone premiums of $1.00–$2.00 per hour apply to work in Imperial, Inyo, Mono, and San Bernardino counties and portions of Kern, Riverside, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties. The determination includes detailed classification schemas for Power Equipment Operators (25 groups), Cranes/Piledriving/Hoisting Equipment (13 groups), Tunnel workers (7 groups), and Laborers with multiple subdivisions. Fringe benefits range from approximately 10% to over 40% of base hourly rates depending on the classification. The document was modified three times between January 2 and January 30, 2026, and supersedes a previous wage determination from 2025. It includes provisions for Executive Order 13706 paid sick leave and Executive Order 13658 minimum wage requirements for federal contractors.
