Davis-Bacon prevailing wage rates in Dixon County, Nebraska
4 Davis-Bacon wage determinations cover Dixon County for building, residential, highway and heavy construction, with 78 rates across 18 trades. Of each trade's main rate, plumber or pipefitter is the highest at $66.45 an hour and drywall installer or lather the lowest at $9.00, base plus fringe.
The Department of Labor modifies these determinations on SAM.gov in weekly batches through the year; the latest Nebraska modification we hold is dated May 18, 2026. 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)). 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.
