Attachment J.6.3_FRKS - Construction Wage Rate.pdf

This is a General Decision document (KS20260049) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor establishing prevailing wage rates for building construction projects in Geary County, Kansas. The decision supersedes General Decision KS20250049 and became effective January 2, 2026.

The document lists prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for approximately 40 construction labor classifications required for building construction projects exceeding four stories. Classifications include skilled trades (asbestos workers, bricklayers, carpenters, electricians, ironworkers, painters, plumbers, roofers, sheet metal workers), equipment operators (backhoe, bulldozer, crane, grader, loader, roller), truck drivers, and general laborers. Hourly base rates range from $15.75 (general laborer) to $60.69 (elevator mechanic), with fringe benefit rates varying by classification. Rate identifiers indicate whether rates are union-negotiated (identified by four-letter codes beginning with union abbreviations and local numbers), weighted union averages (UAVG identifier), survey rates (SU identifier), or state-adopted rates (SA identifier). The document includes provisions for Executive Orders 13706 and 13658 regarding paid sick leave and minimum wage requirements for federal contractors. Unlisted classifications may be added after award pursuant to 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iii). An appeals process is outlined for wage determination disputes, with initial contact to the WHD Branch of Wage Surveys or Branch of Construction Wage Determinations, and potential escalation to the Administrative Review Board.
