FA445226R0012_Atch 2 - Wage Determination.pdf

This is a General Decision document (NC20260122) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor that establishes prevailing wage rates for federal construction contracts in Cumberland and Hoke Counties, North Carolina. The determination covers building construction and is effective from the initial publication date of 01/02/2026, with a modification issued on 05/18/2026.

The document provides prevailing wage classifications and rates for multiple trade categories including ironworkers ($29.75 base rate), pipefitters ($33.96 base rate), truck drivers, sheet metal workers, roofers, plumbers, painters, equipment operators, laborers, electricians, cement masons, carpenters, and bricklayers. Each classification includes both hourly wage rates and fringe benefit rates. The determination notes that welders receive the rate prescribed for their primary craft when welding is incidental to their work. The document also includes important notes regarding Executive Orders 13706 and 13658, which mandate paid sick leave provisions and minimum wage requirements respectively for federal contractors. Specifically, Executive Order 13658 requires contractors to pay covered workers at least $13.65 per hour (or the applicable prevailing wage rate if higher) from May 11, 2026 through December 31, 2026, with annual adjustments thereafter. The wage rates are identified using various rate type indicators (union rates, union average rates, survey rates, and state-adopted rates) with specific effective dates. Unlisted classifications needed for work not included in the scope may be added after award under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iii). The document also provides detailed instructions for the wage determination appeals process, including contact information for the Department of Labor's Branch of Wage Surveys and Branch of Construction Wage Determinations.
