This is a General Decision wage determination document (MD20260113) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor for federal construction contracts in Charles County, Maryland. The determination establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for building construction work, effective January 2, 2026, and supersedes a prior determination (MD20250113).

The document lists wage rates and fringe benefit percentages for 60+ construction classifications, including skilled trades (electrician at $55.50/hour with 21.97% fringes, plumber at $49.00/hour with 22.76% fringes), general laborers (ranging from $23.21 to $29.66/hour with fringes from 3.98% to 8.08%), and specialized roles such as HVAC technicians ($52.27/hour with 24.58% fringes) and roofers ($52.21/hour with 14.91% fringes). The determination applies the Davis-Bacon Act requirements, including Executive Order 13706 provisions for paid sick leave (1 hour per 30 hours worked, up to 56 hours annually) and Executive Order 13658 minimum wage requirements ($13.30/hour or applicable rate, whichever is higher). The document includes explanatory sections on union rate identifiers, survey rate identifiers, state adopted rate identifiers, and the wage determination appeals process, with contact information for the Wage and Hour Division and the Administrative Review Board for disputes.
