Plumber / Pipefitter prevailing wage, Wayne County group, Nebraska (4 counties)
DOL sets the same plumber or pipefitter rates, row for row, in 4 counties: Cedar, Cuming, Stanton and Wayne. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.
$61.16an hour, base + fringe · PLUMBER
$44.26 wage + $16.90 fringe benefits · Building · PLUM0016-003
On federally funded or assisted building construction in each of these 4 counties, a plumber or pipefitter working as plumber must be paid at least $61.16 an hour: a $44.26 base wage plus $16.90 in fringe benefits, under wage determination NE20260078 (modification 1). DOL prints no total, so $61.16 is our sum of the two.
Wage determination NE20260078, modification 1, published May 18, 2026, for building construction; rate identifier PLUM0016-003 (May 25, 2025). 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.
DOL lists 4 plumber or pipefitter rates for each of these counties, from $7.25 to $72.14 an hour. See all of them.
Base wage and fringe benefits: $44.26 + $16.90
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) | $44.26 |
| Fringe benefits (one figure, not itemized) | $16.90 |
| Base + fringe benefits (our sum; DOL prints no total) | $61.16 |
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 Nebraska change log lists what each one changed.
