This document is a Davis-Bacon wage determination for construction work in Indiana, specifically covering Lake, LaPorte, Porter, and St. Joseph Counties. The wage determination provides detailed hourly rates and fringe benefits for various construction trades and classifications, including asbestos workers, bricklayers, carpenters, cement masons, communication technicians, electricians, elevator mechanics, glaziers, ironworkers, laborers, painters, plumbers, power equipment operators, roofers, sheet metal workers, and truck drivers.

The wage rates are effective from 04/04/2025 and are tied to Executive Orders 14026 and 13658, which mandate minimum wage requirements for federal contractors. Rates vary by trade and group classification, with hourly wages ranging from around $26.50 to $70.68, accompanied by corresponding fringe benefits. The determination covers building construction, heavy and highway construction, and utility construction projects, and specifies different rates for different counties and specific geographic areas within those counties. Contractors working on federal contracts in these areas must pay workers at least the listed wage rates for their respective classifications.
