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 heavy and highway construction projects in Indiana, effective January 30, 2026.

The determination applies to construction work across most Indiana counties (excluding Lake, LaPorte, Porter, and St. Joseph Counties for certain project types). It specifies prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for multiple trade classifications organized by geographic area and construction type, including: asbestos workers/insulators, hazardous material handlers, bricklayers, carpenters, electricians, equipment operators (with five classification groups), ironworkers, laborers (with three classification groups), painters, plasterers, plumbers/pipefitters, roofers, sheet metal workers, and truck drivers (with twelve classification groups). Rates vary by county or county groupings and by construction type (heavy and highway construction, utility construction, underground and utility construction, and commercial/industrial work). Wage rates range from approximately $19.80 to $50.05 per hour for base rates, with fringe benefits ranging from approximately $11.02 to $45.93 per hour depending on classification and location. The document includes detailed equipment operator classifications for heavy and highway construction, noting specific equipment categories for each pay group. Additional provisions address paid sick leave requirements under Executive Order 13706 and Executive Order 13658 minimum wage requirements. The document provides contact information for the Department of Labor's Branch of Construction Wage Determinations and Wage and Hour Division for appeals and reconsideration requests.
