Tuckpointer prevailing wage, Arlington County group, Virginia (2 localities)
DOL sets the same tuckpointer rates, row for row, in 2 localities: Alexandria (city) and Arlington. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.
$19.68an hour, base wage + fringe benefits (our sum)
$19.68 base wage + $0.00 fringe benefits · SUVA2013-025
On federally funded or assisted building construction in each of these 2 localities, a tuckpointer must be paid at least $19.68 an hour: a $19.68 base wage plus $0.00 in fringe benefits, under wage determination VA20260013 (modification 4). DOL prints no total, so $19.68 is our sum of the two.
Wage determination VA20260013, modification 4, published October 15, 2026, for building construction; rate identifier SUVA2013-025 (January 11, 2016). Checked against sam.gov on October 25, 2026.
Virginia's prevailing wage for state-funded public works over $250,000, and for localities that adopt it by ordinance, uses these same rates: DOLI's wage determinations "are based on" the Davis-Bacon ones, with no project-specific determinations (Va. Code 2.2-4321.3; DOLI). Only DOLI's official copy sent to the contracting agency counts for official purposes.
Base wage and fringe benefits: $19.68 + $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 + fringe benefits (our sum; DOL prints no total) | $19.68 |
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 Virginia change log lists what each one changed.
