Electrical Utility Lineman prevailing wage, Salt Lake County group, Utah (2 counties)
DOL sets the same utility lineman rates, row for row, in 2 counties: Salt Lake and Tooele. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.
$80.04an hour, base wage + fringe benefits (our sum) · LINEMAN
$58.83 base wage + $21.21 fringe benefits · ELEC0057-001
On federally funded or assisted heavy construction in each of these 2 counties, a utility lineman working as lineman must be paid at least $80.04 an hour: a $58.83 base wage plus $21.21 in fringe benefits, under wage determination UT20260097 (modification 1). DOL prints no total, so $80.04 is our sum of the two.
Wage determination UT20260097, modification 1, published May 18, 2026, for heavy construction; rate identifier ELEC0057-001 (March 1, 2025). Checked against sam.gov on October 25, 2026.
Davis-Bacon is the only prevailing wage here (federally funded or assisted work). Utah repealed its law in 1981 (DOL state table).
Base wage and fringe benefits: $58.83 + $21.21
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) | $58.83 |
| Fringe benefits (one figure, not itemized) | $21.21 |
| Base + fringe benefits (our sum; DOL prints no total) | $80.04 |
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 Utah change log lists what each one changed.
