This is a Davis-Bacon Act Wage Determination document (General Decision Number TX20260245) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor for building construction projects in El Paso County, Texas. The wage determination establishes prevailing wage rates for various construction trade classifications and labor categories required on federal contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act. The document was initially published on January 2, 2026 (Modification 0) and most recently revised on May 18, 2026 (Modification 1). The determination covers building construction type work and applies to all contracts awarded for solicitations issued on or after the effective date of the wage determination.

The wage determination lists comprehensive prevailing wage rates for numerous skilled trades and labor classifications, including boilermakers, electricians, power equipment operators, ironworkers, plumbers, sprinkler fitters, truck drivers, painters, operators of various equipment (rollers, pavers, graders, loaders, bulldozers, backhoes), laborers in specialized areas (landscape, roofing, pipelaying, masonry), and finishing trades (drywall, carpenters, bricklayers, welders). Wage rates are identified using four-letter codes denoting whether rates are union rates (SU, UAVG, SA, or SC designators), with rates updated periodically to reflect current collective bargaining agreements and survey data. The document also references Executive Order 13706 requirements for paid sick leave and Executive Order 13658 minimum wage mandates applicable to Davis-Bacon covered contracts.
