Telecommunications Technician prevailing wage, Medina County group, Texas (2 counties)
DOL sets the same telecommunications technician rates, row for row, in 2 counties: Atascosa and Medina. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.
$23.94an hour, base wage + fringe benefits (our sum) · ELECTRICIAN
$20.19 base wage + $3.75 fringe benefits · SUTX2014-070
On federally funded or assisted building construction in each of these 2 counties, a telecommunications technician working as electrician must be paid at least $23.94 an hour: a $20.19 base wage plus $3.75 in fringe benefits, under wage determination TX20260290 (modification 1). DOL prints no total, so $23.94 is our sum of the two.
Wage determination TX20260290, modification 1, published May 18, 2026, for building construction; rate identifier SUTX2014-070 (July 21, 2014). 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.
DOL lists 2 telecommunications technician rates for each of these counties, from $23.94 to $49.64 an hour. See all of them.
Base wage and fringe benefits: $20.19 + $3.75
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) | $20.19 |
| Fringe benefits (one figure, not itemized) | $3.75 |
| Base + fringe benefits (our sum; DOL prints no total) | $23.94 |
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.
