Davis-Bacon prevailing wage rates in La Salle County, Texas
4 Davis-Bacon wage determinations cover La Salle County for building, residential, highway and heavy construction, with 70 rates across 19 trades. Of each trade's main rate, boilermaker is the highest at $58.09 an hour and laborer the lowest at $8.50, base plus fringe.
The Department of Labor modifies these determinations on SAM.gov in weekly batches through the year; the latest Texas 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.
Texas public bodies set their own rates, often the Davis-Bacon ones; check the bid documents. Under Gov't Code 2258.022 each body either surveys local wages or adopts the Davis-Bacon rates, and no state agency publishes a schedule.
