Bricklayer prevailing wage, Dona Ana County group, New Mexico (4 counties)
DWS sets the same bricklayer rates, row for row, in 4 counties: Dona Ana, Eddy, Lea and Otero. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.
$35.40an hour, base wage + fringe benefits (our sum)
$26.42 base wage + $8.98 fringe benefits · General building · Dona Ana, Otero, Eddy, and Lea
On New Mexico public works in each of these 4 counties, a bricklayer must be paid at least $35.40 an hour: a $26.42 base wage plus $8.98 in fringe. DWS prints no total, so $35.40 is our sum of the two.
11.1.2.20 NMAC rates for decisions issued from July 1, 2026; this rate, effective July 1, 2026. Each project is governed by one wage rate decision "which shall remain effective for the duration of the project" (11.1.2.14 NMAC). Checked against dws.state.nm.us on October 25, 2026.
DWS lists 4 bricklayer rates for each of these counties, from $35.40 to $43.66 an hour. See all of them.

- Includes an apprenticeship contribution of $0.60 inside the fringe (11.1.2.19(C) NMAC).
Base wage and fringe benefits: $26.42 + $8.98
The base wage is the taxable hourly wage. DWS prints the fringe 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) | $26.42 |
| Fringe benefits (one figure, not itemized) | $8.98 |
| Base + fringe (our sum; DWS prints no total) | $35.40 |
When does this rate change?
