This is a General Decision wage determination issued by the Department of Labor under the Davis-Bacon Act for residential construction projects in Nebraska.

The wage determination lists prevailing wage rates effective September 1, 1985, for classifications including sheet metal workers ($7.38/hour), roofers ($7.25/hour), plumbers and pipefitters ($10.07/hour), painters ($8.00/hour), laborers ($7.25/hour), drywall rockers ($7.25/hour), drywall finishers/tapers ($7.38/hour), carpenters ($7.25/hour), and bricklayers ($13.05/hour), with no fringe benefits. The determination notes that welders receive rates prescribed for their craft when welding is incidental work. Executive Order 13786 requires one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked (up to 56 hours annually) for all federal contracts awarded on or after January 1, 2017. Executive Order 13658 applies a minimum wage of $13.65/hour for covered workers on contracts subject to that order from May 11, 2026, through December 31, 2026, with annual adjustments thereafter. The document explains wage rate identifiers for union rates, union average rates, survey rates, and state-adopted rates, along with the appeals process for wage determination disputes directed to the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division.
