This is a General Decision (Wage Determination) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor under the Davis-Bacon Act for building construction in Washington State, specifically for Kitsap County. The determination became effective May 18, 2026 (Modification 1), with the initial version published January 2, 2026. This wage determination establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits that must be paid to workers on federal construction contracts in the specified geographic area.

The document lists prevailing wage rates organized by construction trade classifications, including positions such as heat and frost insulators, tile setters, bricklayers, carpenters, electricians, operators (for various equipment including pavers, graders, bulldozers, rollers, oilers, and cranes), ironworkers, laborers (across multiple specialties including form stripping, grade checking, jackhammering, masonry, and concrete work), painters, drywall finishers, plasterers, pipefitters, plumbers, roofers, sprinkler fitters, sheet metal workers, and truck drivers. Each classification specifies hourly rates and fringe benefit amounts. Rates are identified by union status (union negotiated rates, union average rates, survey rates, or state-adopted rates), with effective dates ranging from June 1, 2024 through August 4, 2025. The determination also includes notes on Executive Orders 13706 (paid sick leave) and 13658 (minimum wage requirements), instructions for wage determination appeals and reconsideration requests, and explanations of the rate identifier system used throughout the document.
