On Wyoming public works in Natrona County, an electrician must be paid at least $83.01 an hour: a $60.59 base wage plus $22.42 in fringe benefits. DWS prints no total, so $83.01 is our sum of the two.
DWS 2026 rates (effective May 1, 2026); this rate, effective May 1, 2026.

A May 1 change doesn't reprice a contract already bid. Checked against dws.wyo.gov on October 25, 2026.

Davis-Bacon electrician rate in Natrona County
Federally funded or assisted construction here uses the U.S. Department of Labor's wage determinations. 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.
We don't put a federal figure next to DWS's here, because this page leads with a classification the federal determinations don't list one to one. The federal rows for this trade are below; match the classification to the work.
