DAVIS BACON ACT PAFIFIC COUNTY WAGE RATE.pdf

This is a General Decision wage determination (WA20260036) issued by the Department of Labor, effective May 18, 2026, establishing prevailing wage rates for building construction in Washington State, specifically for counties in the Pacific region.

The determination applies to construction work in Pacific County and establishes wage rates organized by trade classification, including asbestos workers, bricklayers, tile setters, carpenters, electricians, power equipment operators, ironworkers, laborers, painters, plumbers, roofers, sheet metal workers, and truck drivers. Rates vary significantly based on geographic zones within Washington State and the type of work performed. For example, the document specifies zone differentials for various classifications, with Zone 1 representing areas within 25 radius miles of specified city halls, Zone 2 covering 25-45 radius miles, and Zone 3 for areas beyond 45 radius miles. Rates include both base hourly wages and fringe benefits, which are listed separately. Power equipment operator rates contain detailed classifications based on equipment type and weight capacity, with hazardous waste site premium pay differentials (H-1 through H-4 classifications) for personnel working in federally designated hazardous perimeters. The determination notes that unlisted classifications may be added after award if provided in labor standards contract clauses, references Executive Order 13706 regarding paid sick leave for federal contractors, and Executive Order 13658 establishing minimum wage requirements for Davis-Bacon Act contracts, effective May 11, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The document includes detailed explanations of union rate identifiers, union average rate indicators, survey rate identifiers, and state-adopted rate identifiers, along with wage determination appeals procedures directed to the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division.
