The wage determination applies to building construction projects within Denver County, Colorado, effective May 20, 2025, and excludes single-family homes and apartments up to four stories. The document provides detailed hourly rates and fringe benefits for trades including asbestos workers, carpenters, electricians, elevator mechanics, ironworkers, painters, plumbers, sheet metal workers, and numerous other construction classifications.
The wage schedule is structured in compliance with Davis-Bacon Act requirements and Executive Orders 14026 and 13658, mandating minimum wage rates of at least $18.81 per hour for covered workers in 2025.

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.
