Striping & Traffic Control Worker prevailing wage, Fort Bend County group, Texas (10 counties)
DOL sets the same striping and traffic control worker rates, row for row, in 10 counties: Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Hardin, Jefferson, Liberty, Montgomery, Orange and Waller. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.
$17.12an hour, base + fringe
$17.12 wage + $0.00 fringe benefits · SATX2025-013
On federally funded or assisted highway construction in each of these 10 counties, a striping and traffic control worker must be paid at least $17.12 an hour: a $17.12 base wage plus $0.00 in fringe benefits, under wage determination TX20260299 (modification 1). DOL prints no total, so $17.12 is our sum of the two.
Wage determination TX20260299, modification 1, published May 18, 2026, for highway construction; rate identifier SATX2025-013 (November 15, 2023). 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.
Base wage and fringe benefits: $17.12 + $0.00
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) | $17.12 |
| Base + fringe benefits (our sum; DOL prints no total) | $17.12 |
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 Texas change log lists what each one changed.
