Pile Driver prevailing wage, Hunt County group, Texas (3 counties)

DOL sets the same pile driver rates, row for row, in 3 counties: Delta, Hunt and Wise. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.

$11.00an hour, base wage + fringe benefits (our sum)

$11.00 base wage + $0.00 fringe benefits · SUTX2005-006

On federally funded or assisted heavy construction in each of these 3 counties, a pile driver must be paid at least $11.00 an hour: a $11.00 base wage plus $0.00 in fringe benefits, under wage determination TX20260043 (modification 1). DOL prints no total, so $11.00 is our sum of the two.

Wage determination TX20260043, modification 1, published May 18, 2026, for heavy construction; rate identifier SUTX2005-006 (November 9, 2011). 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.

This base is below $13.65, the Executive Order 13658 minimum. Contracts that order covers must pay at least that (see the WD's note).

Base wage and fringe benefits: $11.00 + $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.

When does this rate change?

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.
