This is a General Decision wage determination document (SD20260029) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division, effective January 2, 2026, for building construction projects in Pennington County, South Dakota. The determination supersedes a previous decision (SD20250029) and applies to building construction projects excluding single-family homes and apartments up to four stories. The document establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for various construction classifications required on federally funded or Davis-Bacon Act covered projects in the specified geographic area.

The wage determination lists rates for multiple craft classifications including bricklayers ($33.58 base rate with $4.60 fringe), pipefitters ($34.90 base with $15.70 fringe), sprinkler fitters ($38.47 base with $24.68 fringe), carpenters, cement masons, electricians, ironworkers, laborers in multiple categories, operators, painters, plumbers, roofers, sheet metal workers, and truck drivers. Rates are sourced from various prevailing wage surveys and union agreements, with effective dates ranging from 2014 through 2025. The document includes guidance on rate identifiers (union rates, weighted union averages, survey rates, and state-adopted rates), the wage determination appeals process, and notes regarding Executive Orders 13706 and 13658 requirements for paid sick leave and minimum wage thresholds applicable to federal contracts.
