Carpet & Soft Floor Layer prevailing wage, Hall County group, Nebraska (7 counties)
DOL sets the same carpet and soft floor layer rates, row for row, in 7 counties: Garfield, Hall, Hamilton, Howard, Merrick, Sherman and Wheeler. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.
$9.38an hour, base wage + fringe benefits (our sum) · CARPET
$9.38 base wage + $0.00 fringe benefits · Residential · SUNE1984-007
On federally funded or assisted residential construction in each of these 7 counties, a carpet and soft floor layer working as carpet must be paid at least $9.38 an hour: a $9.38 base wage plus $0.00 in fringe benefits, under wage determination NE20260024 (modification 1). DOL prints no total, so $9.38 is our sum of the two.
Wage determination NE20260024, modification 1, published May 18, 2026, for residential construction; rate identifier SUNE1984-007 (September 1, 1984). Checked against sam.gov on October 25, 2026.
Nebraska has no state wage schedule; Davis-Bacon applies to federally funded work. Bidders on state work file a statement that they follow "fair labor standards" (Neb. Rev. Stat. 73-104), but no agency publishes rates.
- 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: $9.38 + $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) | $9.38 |
| Base + fringe benefits (our sum; DOL prints no total) | $9.38 |
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 Nebraska change log lists what each one changed.
