$55.88 wage + $38.44 fringe benefits · ELEV0028-001

On federally funded or assisted building construction in Thurston County, an elevator constructor must be paid at least $94.32 an hour: a $55.88 base wage plus $38.44 in fringe benefits, under wage determination NE20260076 (modification 1). DOL prints no total, so $94.32 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 NE20260076, modification 1, published May 18, 2026, for building construction; rate identifier ELEV0028-001 (January 1, 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.

The footnote for this classification adds a percentage-based benefit that the total here leaves out; read it on the WD.

Base wage and fringe benefits: $55.88 + $38.44

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)	$55.88
Fringe benefits (one figure, not itemized)	$38.44
Base + fringe benefits (our sum; DOL prints no total)	$94.32

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 Nebraska change log lists what each one changed.
