About this file
This is a Prevailing Wage Poster for the State of New Mexico, effective July 1, 2026, establishing mandatory wage rates for workers on TYPE "A" street, highway, utility, and light engineering projects. The document outlines base rates, fringe rates, and apprenticeship rates across multiple trade classifications including cement masons, drywall finishers, painters, plumbers, carpenters, electricians, ironworkers, laborers, equipment operators, roofers, and truck drivers. Rates vary by geographic location, with notably higher rates specified for Los Alamos County and certain other county groupings. For example, drywall finishers in Los Alamos County earn a base rate of $35.85 per hour compared to the statewide rate of $31.60, while plumbers/pipefitters maintain a consistent base rate of $44.32 across all jurisdictions. The document applies to the City of Gallup's proposed turnkey Engineering, Procurement and Construction project for a new 115 kV to 13.2 kV, 30 MVA electrical substation.
All contractors performing work on this project are required to comply with prevailing wage requirements and pay subsistence, zone, and incentive pay according to the specific trade classification. The fringe rates range from $5.75 to $21.75 per hour depending on the trade, with apprenticeship rates uniformly set at $0.60 per hour across all classifications. Contractors must ensure full compliance with these wage standards and should reference the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions website for additional information regarding subsistence, zone, and incentive pay calculations. Questions regarding prevailing wage compliance and wage claims can be directed to the Department of Workforce Solutions Labor Relations Division at (505) 841-4400 or through their online portal at www.dws.state.nm.us.
