General Decision CA20260007 - Prevailing Wage Determination

This is a prevailing wage determination issued by the Department of Labor for construction projects in California, effective May 18, 2026 (Modification 4), covering building, heavy, and highway construction types across 24 California counties 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 specifies prevailing hourly wage rates and fringe benefits for numerous skilled trades and labor classifications applicable to federal construction contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act.

The wage schedules detail rates for classifications including asbestos workers/insulators, boilermakers, brick layers, tile layers, marble masons and finishers, terrazzo workers, carpenters (with area-specific variations), electricians, elevator mechanics, dredging operators, ironworkers, laborers (including construction specialists, tunnel and shaft workers, traffic control personnel), painters, plasterers, plumbers, pipefitters, roofers, sprinkler fitters, sheet metal workers, and truck drivers. Rates vary by geographic area within the state and classification level. Fringe benefits are itemized separately from base hourly rates. Union rates are identified by four-letter codes indicating whether rates represent current union negotiated agreements, weighted union average rates, survey rates, or state-adopted rates. The determination includes footnotes addressing specific working conditions (high work, saturation diving, deep footings, scaffold work, sewer work) with corresponding premium pay requirements. Executive Order provisions regarding paid sick leave (EO 13706) and minimum wage requirements (EO 13658) are noted as applicable to covered federal contracts.
