Heavy construction · ID20260072 modification 2, published May 18, 2026

The short answer

This sheet sets 20 classifications for heavy work in Power County, Idaho. Each line is a basic hourly rate plus a fringe rate, and the sum is the minimum you must pay for that work, from $32.30 an hour (laborer: mason tender - cement/concrete) to $58.74 (electrician). Your contract may lock an earlier modification.

Modification history

Modification 1January 30, 2026
Modification 2May 18, 2026 (current)

Published by the Wage and Hour Division; read from sam.gov. The sheet is checked for a newer modification each day. Contracts awarded since January 1, 2017 also carry Executive Order 13706 paid sick leave (one hour per 30 worked, up to 56 a year).

Questions people ask

Which rate do I pay on ID20260072?
The line for the classification of work actually performed: the basic rate plus the fringe. You may pay the fringe into benefit plans, as cash on every hour, or a mix. Overtime after 40 hours is 1.5 times the basic rate; fringe is paid on every hour and never multiplied.
My trade is not on this sheet. What do I do?
Do not borrow the nearest name. Ask the contracting agency for a conformance on Standard Form 1444 before the first week of that work, and note it as pending on the payroll.
Does modification 2 apply to my contract?
Only if it was in force when your contract was awarded (generally at bid opening). An earlier modification locked into the contract keeps applying, except on option years, added scope and indefinite-quantity contracts. The number and modification are on the first page of the exhibit in your contract.
