Wage determination FL20260203, modification 1, published May 18, 2026, for building construction; rate identifier SUFL2014-011 (August 16, 2016). Checked against sam.gov on October 25, 2026.

DOL lists 16 laborer rates for Escambia County, from $8.22 to $22.25 an hour. See all of them.
- This base is below $13.65, the Executive Order 13658 minimum. Contracts that order covers must pay at least that (see the WD's note).
Base wage and fringe benefits: $13.56 + $1.34
The base wage is the taxable hourly wage. DOL prints the fringe benefits as one hourly figure, not itemized; it can go to health, pension, vacation and training plans, or be paid as cash where the state allows.
| Base wage (taxable) | $13.56 |
| Fringe benefits (one figure, not itemized) | $1.34 |
| Base + fringe benefits (our sum; DOL prints no total) | $14.90 |
When this rate changes
- A contract keeps the wage determination in its bid documents. Modifications published before bid opening apply to it, though one published less than 10 days before can be left out if the agency finds there isn't time to tell bidders (29 CFR 1.6(c)).
- DOL changes a WD by publishing a numbered modification on SAM.gov. This page reads the modification named in the Source line; the Florida change log lists what each one changed.
