This is a Wage Determination document (CA20260018) establishing prevailing wage rates for the WRRC Boiler Upgrades solicitation in California. The wage determination specifies mandatory minimum hourly rates that contractors and subcontractors must pay workers employed on this federal contract, as required by the Davis-Bacon Act and related prevailing wage legislation. The document applies to Santa Cruz County, California (the location of the Western Regional Research Center boiler upgrade project) and covers various construction and related occupational classifications including laborers, carpenters, ironworkers, electricians, plumbers, operating engineers, and other skilled trades typically involved in boiler installation and upgrade work. Each occupation classification includes a base hourly wage rate plus fringe benefits (health and welfare, pension, vacation, and other benefits), with rates varying by job classification and experience level. Contractors must comply with these wage rates regardless of the project's total value and must maintain payroll records demonstrating compliance. This wage determination is binding on all contractors and subcontractors performing work under solicitation 1232SA26R0033 and supersedes any lower wage rates that might otherwise apply.
