Attachment I - Wage Determination.pdf

This is a General Decision wage determination document issued by the Department of Labor for heavy and highway construction projects in Indiana. The determination, effective January 30, 2026, supersedes a previous decision and establishes prevailing wage rates for 92 Indiana counties, excluding Lake, LaPorte, Porter, and St. Joseph counties.

The document specifies hourly wage rates and fringe benefits for numerous construction classifications organized by geographic area and project type. Classifications include asbestos workers, hazardous material handlers, bricklayers, tile finishers, carpenters, electricians, equipment operators, ironworkers, laborers, painters, plasterers, plumbers and pipefitters, roofers, sheet metal workers, and truck drivers, among others. Wage rates vary significantly by county and classification, ranging from approximately $19.80 to $53.55 per hour for base wages, with fringe benefit rates typically between 11% and 45.93% of the hourly wage. The determination includes specific rate identifiers indicating whether rates derive from union agreements, survey data, state adoption, or weighted union averages. Special provisions address work at height, underground work, equipment operation classifications, and paid sick leave requirements under Executive Order 13706. The document also provides guidance on wage determination appeals procedures, directing inquiries to the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division or Branch of Construction Wage Determinations.
