The decision supersedes a previous wage determination (FL20250211) and establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for various construction trades and occupations required on federal contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act.

The wage determination lists hourly rates and fringe benefit percentages for classifications including asbestos workers, electricians, elevator mechanics, crane operators, ironworkers, carpenters, cement masons, laborers, painters, pipefitters, plumbers, roofers, sheet metal workers, tile setters, truck drivers, and welders. Rates range from $13.22 to $51.83 per hour, with fringe benefits varying by classification. Union rate identifiers (beginning with characters like "SU," "UAVG," or "SA") indicate whether rates are union negotiated, weighted union averages, or state-adopted rates, along with their effective dates. The document includes provisions for Executive Order 13706 regarding paid sick leave for federal contractors and Executive Order 13658 establishing a minimum wage of $13.30 per hour (adjusted annually). Instructions are provided for wage determination appeals, directed to the Wage and Hour Division's Branch of Construction Wage Determinations or the Administrative Review Board at the U.S. Department of Labor.
