$54.11an hour, base wage + fringe benefits (our sum) · Groundman
$35.76 base wage + $18.35 fringe benefits · State-only heavy & highway projects (statewide)
On Wyoming public works in each of these 21 counties, a utility lineman working as groundman must be paid at least $54.11 an hour: a $35.76 base wage plus $18.35 in fringe benefits. DWS prints no total, so $54.11 is our sum of the two.
DWS 2026 rates (effective May 1, 2026); this rate, effective May 1, 2026. The public body gets the rates from DWS before awarding and puts them in the call for bids and the contract, and DWS's finding is final for that contract (W.S. 27-4-405(a)). A May 1 change doesn't reprice a contract already bid. Checked against dws.wyo.gov on October 25, 2026.
DWS lists 4 utility lineman rates for each of these counties, from $54.11 to $71.70 an hour. See all of them.
- DWS method: wage by other adjustment (inflation-adjusted prior year, or CBA rate), fringe by other adjustment (inflation-adjusted prior year, or CBA rate).

The base wage is the taxable hourly wage. DWS 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) | $35.76 |
| Fringe benefits (one figure, not itemized) | $18.35 |

- The 2026 rates took effect May 1, 2026. DWS publishes notice of new rates each year; objections are due within 15 days (W.S. 27-4-406).

Davis-Bacon utility lineman rates in these counties
The counties share DWS's rates, but not always the same federal wage determination. Wyoming's Act doesn't apply where it conflicts with federal prevailing wage rules (W.S. 27-4-413); federal jobs use DWS's federal-project columns and the Davis-Bacon rate.
