Attachment 5 - DBA WD ID20260001 Boise CO 010226.pdf

This is a General Decision wage determination document issued by the U.S. Department of Labor establishing prevailing wage rates for residential construction projects in Idaho. The decision, effective January 2, 2026, supersedes a previous determination and applies to seven Idaho counties: Ada, Boise, Canyon, Elmore, Gem, Owyhee, Payette, and Washington. The determination covers single-family homes and apartments up to and including four stories.

The wage determination specifies hourly rates for 13 construction classifications ranging from $7.25 to $10.82 per hour, with fringe benefits listed for ironworkers ($0.75) and sheet metal workers ($0.34). Key rates include carpenter at $9.07, plumber at $10.82, electrician at $8.72, and laborer at $7.25. The determination notes that welders receive rates prescribed for their primary craft when welding is incidental. Additionally, the document references Executive Order 13706 regarding paid sick leave for federal contractors (1 hour per 30 hours worked, up to 56 hours annually) and Executive Order 13658 establishing a minimum wage of $13.30 per hour for covered workers in 2025, adjusted annually. The document explains the rate identifier system used to classify prevailing wage rates, including union rates, union average rates, survey rates, and state-adopted rates, and provides instructions for wage determination appeals directed to the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division.
