Board adopts Davis‑Bacon prevailing wage rates for 2026 bond projects
Summary
Navarro ISD approved adoption of Davis‑Bacon prevailing wage rates for Guadalupe County — including an additional electrical helper rate — and authorized the superintendent to research conducting an independent wage survey; the motion passed 5-0.
Trustee Joel Frederick raised a question about feasibility of conducting a local wage-rate survey to determine potential long‑term savings for the district. Administration relayed that legal counsel recommended adoption of prevailing wage rates, noting the complexity of conducting a compliant independent survey.
The Board voted to adopt the Davis‑Bacon Prevailing Wage Rates for Guadalupe County and to include an additional electrical helper rate as presented by administration. The motion, made by Dr. Lacey Gosch and seconded by Dan Reinhard, also authorized the superintendent to research the criteria for conducting an independent wage rate survey for 2026 bond and other construction projects. The vote was recorded as 5-0 in favor.
Board discussion indicated the decision balanced legal advice and the practical burden of conducting a complex wage survey; the superintendent will report findings on survey criteria and feasibility at a future meeting.
