Attachment 7 - Wage Determination Rates.pdf

This is a General Decision (Wage Determination) document issued by the U.S. Department of Labor for building construction projects in Yakima County, Washington, effective January 2, 2026, superseding the prior decision WA20250119. The document establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for various construction classifications required on Davis-Bacon Act covered federal contracts in the specified geographic area.

The wage determination lists hourly rates and fringe benefit percentages for over 40 construction classifications, including Heat & Frost Insulators ($75.37 base rate, 18.82% fringes), Bricklayers ($39.57, 20.5% fringes), Carpenters ($44.21, 17.28% fringes), Electricians ($60.00, 27.78% fringes), Ironworkers ($57.94, 34.52% fringes), Plumbers ($47.74, 28.52% fringes), and numerous laborer categories, equipment operators, and trade-specific positions. Special geographic distinctions are noted for counties west of the 120th meridian. The document includes notes on Executive Order 13706 regarding paid sick leave requirements (1 hour per 30 hours worked, up to 56 hours annually) and Executive Order 13658 establishing a minimum wage floor of $13.30 per hour for 2025. Classification identifiers indicate whether rates are union prevailing (four-letter codes beginning with non-"SU" characters), union average rates (UAVG identifier), survey rates (SU identifier), or state-adopted rates (SA identifier). The wage determination remains effective until superseded, with appeals available through the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division.
