This document is a Wage Determination for heavy construction projects issued by the U.S. Department of Labor under General Decision Number TX20260002, effective January 2, 2026, superseding TX20250002.

The determination covers heavy construction work in ten Texas counties: Armstrong, Carson, Crosby, Ector, Irion, Lubbock, Midland, Potter, Randall, Taylor, and Tom Green. It establishes prevailing wage rates for multiple classification categories based on surveyed construction project SUTX2011-002 from August 2, 2011. Key wage classifications include Cement Mason/Concrete Finisher ($13.55), Electrician ($20.96), Form Builder/Form Setter (Paving & Curb at $12.36, Structures at $13.52), multiple Laborer classifications ($9.30-$12.28), and various Power Equipment Operators ranging from $10.36 to $20.14 depending on equipment type. Truck Drivers range from $11.33 to $14.46, and Steel Workers (Reinforcing) are rated at $13.50. The determination includes guidance on union rate identifiers (beginning with "SU," "UAVG," "SA," or "?SA"), with examples of how classifications are coded with effective dates. The document also references Executive Order 13786 establishing paid sick leave requirements for federal contractors and Executive Order 13658 setting a minimum wage of $13.30 for 2025 (subject to annual adjustment).
