This is a General Decision (Wage Determination) document issued by the U.S. Department of Labor establishing prevailing wage rates for construction and related work in California counties. General Decision Number CA20260007, effective January 16, 2026, supersedes CA20250007 and covers 23 counties in California, including Alpine, Amador, Butte, Colusa, El Dorado, Glenn, Lassen, Marin, Modoc, Napa, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Sacramento, Shasta, Sierra, Siskiyou, Solano, Sonoma, Sutter, Tehama, Trinity, Yolo, and Yuba.

The determination applies to building construction (excluding Amador County), dredging construction (excluding hopper dredge work and water well drilling), heavy construction, and highway construction projects. Wage rates are organized by classification and geographic area, with three modifications issued between January 2 and January 16, 2026. The document specifies hourly rates and fringe benefits for numerous job classifications including asbestos workers, boilermakers, bricklayers, carpenters, cement masons, electricians, equipment operators, ironworkers, laborers, painters, plumbers, roofers, sheet metal workers, and truck drivers. Area-specific rates vary, with certain regions receiving geographic differentials. The determination includes detailed classification descriptions defining job duties and equipment operation responsibilities. Special provisions address depth pay for divers, saturation diving, specialty work premiums, and equipment operation groups. The document notes that Executive Order 13706 establishes paid sick leave requirements, and Executive Order 13658 establishes a minimum wage of $13.30 per hour, adjusted annually. Unlisted classifications may be added after contract award through labor standards contract clauses.
