Attachment I - Wage Determination.pdf

This is a General Decision (Wage Determination) document issued by the U.S. Department of Labor establishing prevailing wage rates for construction work in Indiana counties under the Davis-Bacon Act.

The document covers heavy and highway construction projects across 92 Indiana counties, with specific wage determinations organized by geographic area and construction type. Rates are provided for multiple worker classifications including asbestos workers, hazardous material handlers, carpenters, electricians, ironworkers, laborers, plumbers, pipefitters, painters, roofers, sheet metal workers, and truck drivers, among others. Wage rates vary by county and construction category (heavy/highway, utility, commercial/industrial, and underground construction), ranging from approximately $19.80 to $50.05 per hour for base rates, with fringe benefits typically between 11% and 45% of the base rate. The determination is effective January 30, 2026, superseding the previous determination IN20250006, and applies to all federal construction contracts in the designated counties except Lake, LaPorte, Porter, and St. Joseph counties. Rate identifiers indicate whether rates are union-negotiated, weighted union averages, survey-based, or state-adopted. The document includes supplemental provisions for specific work conditions such as underground work (30% premium), boom operation premiums, and equipment-specific rates. Additional notes address Executive Orders 13706 and 13658 regarding paid sick leave and minimum wage requirements for federal contractors.
