This is a Davis-Bacon Act Wage Determination document (General Decision Number NM20260036, Modification 1) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor for highway construction projects in New Mexico. The wage determination applies to 13 New Mexico counties: Catron, Chaves, Curry, De Baca, Eddy, Grant, Hidalgo, Lea, Lincoln, Luna, Otero, Roosevelt, Sierra, and Socorro.

The wage determination establishes prevailing wage rates for numerous construction-related classifications including truck drivers (water truck, pickup and pilot car, flatbed truck, dump truck, distributor, tractor haul truck, and semi-trailer truck), power equipment operators (tractor, screed, scraper, roller, oiler, mechanic, loader, grader, forklift, bulldozer, bobcat/skid loader, backhoe/excavator/trackhoe, trencher, piledriver, milling machine, distributor, crusher, broom, asphalt/concrete paver), laborers (common or general, power/air tool operator, pipelayer, mason tender, grade checker, flagger/cone setter, asphalt raker), ironworkers (structural and reinforcing), installers (guardrails, handrails, signs), electricians (including traffic signalization), cement masons/concrete finishers, carpenters (including form work), and painters (brush, roller, spray). Wage rates are identified by union rate identifiers (SUᴓ, UAVG, SAᴓ, SCᴓ), indicating whether rates are current union negotiated rates, weighted union average rates, state-adopted rates, or survey rates. The document also notes Executive Order requirements regarding paid sick leave and minimum wage thresholds, with additional information available through the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division website.
