Painter prevailing wage, Gibson County group, Indiana (2 counties)
DOL sets the same painter rates, row for row, in 2 counties: Gibson and Posey. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.
$52.32an hour, base + fringe
$31.12 wage + $21.20 fringe benefits · Building · PAIN0156-002
On federally funded or assisted building construction in each of these 2 counties, a painter must be paid at least $52.32 an hour: a $31.12 base wage plus $21.20 in fringe benefits, under wage determination IN20260003 (modification 2). DOL prints no total, so $52.32 is our sum of the two. The WD's footnote adds a benefit this total leaves out, so treat it as a floor.
Wage determination IN20260003, modification 2, published May 18, 2026, for building construction; rate identifier PAIN0156-002 (April 1, 2025). Checked against sam.gov on October 25, 2026.
Davis-Bacon is the only prevailing wage here (federally funded or assisted work). Indiana repealed its Common Construction Wage Act effective July 1, 2015, and IC 5-16-7.2-5 bars public agencies from setting wage scales (Indiana DOL).
DOL lists 5 painter rates for each of these counties, from $46.41 to $53.32 an hour. See all of them.
- The footnote for this classification adds a dollar amount that the total here leaves out; read it on the WD.
Base wage and fringe benefits: $31.12 + $21.20
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) | $31.12 |
| Fringe benefits (one figure, not itemized) | $21.20 |
| Base + fringe benefits (our sum; DOL prints no total) | $52.32 |
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 Indiana change log lists what each one changed.
