About this file

This document is a 2025 Building General Wage Decision issued by the City and County of Denver for building construction projects, excluding single-family homes and apartments up to four stories. The document, published on September 11, 2025, establishes prevailing wage rates for various construction trades and classifications effective September 10, 2025. It supersedes the previous general decision and includes nine modifications throughout 2025, with the most recent being Modification No. 9 on 09/10/2025.

The wage determination provides detailed hourly rates and fringe benefits for numerous construction job classifications, including but not limited to electricians, plumbers, pipefitters, sheet metal workers, carpenters, ironworkers, painters, and laborers. The document references Executive Orders 14026 and 13658, which mandate minimum wage rates for workers on federal contracts, with a specified minimum of $18.81 per hour for covered workers in 2025. The wage rates vary by trade, with some classifications earning significantly higher hourly rates, such as elevator mechanics at $56.57 per hour and ironworkers at up to $57.15 per hour. The document also includes supplemental rates specific to Denver projects and directs users to the DenverGov.org/Auditor website for additional classification details.

BUILDING CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

(Does not include single-family homes or apartments up to and including four stories.)

Note: Contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act are generally required to pay at least the applicable minimum wage rate required under Executive Order 14026 or Executive Order 13658.

Please note that these Executive Orders apply to covered contracts entered into by the federal government that are subject to the Davis-Bacon Act itself, but do not apply to contracts subject only to the Davis-Bacon Related Acts, including those set forth at 29 CFR 5.1(a)(1).

If the contract is entered into on or after January 30, 2022, or the contract is renewed or extended (e.g., an option is exercised) on or after January 30, 2022:

• Executive Order 14026 generally applies to the contract.

• The contractor must pay all covered workers at least $18.81 per hour (or the applicable wage rate listed on this wage determination, if it is higher) for all hours spent performing on the contract in 2025.

If the contract was awarded on or between January 1, 2015, and January 29, 2022, and the contract is not renewed or extended on or after January 30, 2022:

• Executive order 13658 generally applies to the contract.

• The contractor must pay all covered workers at least $18.81 per hour (or the applicable wage determination, if it is higher) for all hours spent performing on that contract in 2025.

The applicable Executive Order minimum wage rate will be adjusted annually. If this contract is covered by one of the Executive Orders and a classification considered necessary for performance of work on the contract does not appear on this wage determination, the contractor must still submit a conformance request.

Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the Executive Orders is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.
