$12.00an hour, base wage + fringe benefits (our sum)

$12.00 base wage + $0.00 fringe benefits · Residential · SUKS2004-005

On federally funded or assisted residential construction in each of these 94 counties, a carpet and soft floor layer must be paid at least $12.00 an hour: a $12.00 base wage plus $0.00 in fringe benefits, under wage determination KS20260001 (modification 1). DOL prints no total, so $12.00 is our sum of the two.

Wage determination KS20260001, modification 1, published May 18, 2026, for residential construction; rate identifier SUKS2004-005 (February 9, 1990). Checked against sam.gov on October 25, 2026.

Davis-Bacon is the only prevailing wage here (federally funded or assisted work). Kansas repealed its law in 1987 (DOL state table).

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: $12.00 + $0.00

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)	$12.00
Base + fringe benefits (our sum; DOL prints no total)	$12.00

When does this rate change?

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 Kansas change log lists what each one changed.
