This is a prevailing wage determination (General Decision Number MS20260050) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor for federal construction contracts in Mississippi, specifically for Harrison County. The determination applies to building construction projects and establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits effective through the stated modification dates (01/23/2026 and 05/18/2026).

The wage determination lists multiple construction-related classifications with hourly rates and fringe benefit amounts, including electricians ($32.90 base rate, $11.10 fringes), power equipment operators/forklifts ($35.50 base, $14.55 fringes), ironworkers ($31.00 base, $17.77 fringes), plumbers and pipefitters ($29.91-$30.41 base, $11.47-$11.97 fringes), sheet metal workers ($30.45 base, $13.88 fringes), and various laborers and equipment operators ranging from $10.91 to $22.00 base rates. The document specifies that these rates apply to contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act and includes provisions for Executive Order 13706 paid sick leave requirements and Executive Order 13658 minimum wage rates ($13.65 per hour through December 31, 2026). The document explains rate identifier systems (union rates, weighted union averages, survey rates, and state-adopted rates) and provides instructions for wage determination appeals, directing inquiries to the appropriate Department of Labor divisions.
