This is a General Decision (wage determination) document issued by the U.S. Department of Labor establishing prevailing wage rates for building construction projects in Wyoming.

The decision covers building construction projects statewide in Wyoming, excluding single-family homes and apartments up to four stories. The wage determination (WY20260041, effective 01/02/2026) supersedes the previous determination WY20250041 and applies to all contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act. The document lists approximately 40 construction trade classifications with corresponding hourly wage rates and fringe benefit amounts. Rates range from $11.96 per hour for Blinds/Window-Covering Installers to $56.57 per hour for Elevator Constructors, with fringe benefits ranging from $0.00 to $41.83 per hour. Notable classifications include General Laborers (Group 1) at $22.77/hour with $2.68 fringes, Electricians at $35.17/hour with $14.33 fringes, and various Operating Engineer groups (1-7) ranging from $30.68 to $41.25/hour with corresponding fringe benefits. The determination includes detailed job duty descriptions for each classification and notes the applicability of Executive Orders 13706 (paid sick leave) and 13658 (minimum wage requirements for federal contractors). Unlisted classifications needed for work not included in the scope may be added after award as provided in 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iii). The document also explains rate identifier systems (union, survey, and state-adopted rates) and provides the wage determination appeals process through the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division.
