16.31.1 Davis-Bacon Act – (40 U.S.C. §276a-276a-5). All contracts or subsequent subcontracts for construction, alteration, renovation, or repair, including painting and decorating, of a public building or public work, or building or work, financed by federal funds which meet the

$2,000 threshold are required to pay the federal prevailing wage rate for each laborer or mechanic

 

employed. Regulations applicable to grant-enabling statutes incorporating the Act can be found in 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 1,3,5 and 7. These regulations stipulate that grant funds appropriated under statutes imposing the Davis-Bacon Act requirements shall not be paid to a grantee (the Department) until contractors or subcontractors performing work under the grant certify that they will comply with the Act’s requirements. The Act also applies to any contract or subcontract for similar work on public grants from a federal agency, or where the federal government acts as guarantors of mortgages. The only exception is for the transportation of materials and supplies by persons who are not employed directly at the work site, but are employed solely to make deliveries to the work site.

Provider Agencies must ensure that contracts or subcontracts for any construction/alteration projects contain the wage determinations issued and that the appropriate clauses required by the Davis-Bacon regulations (29 CFR, section 5.5) are present. It should be made clear in any announcements of projects or RFPs that federal grant funds are being used, and that Davis- Bacon will apply even if the federal government is not a party to the contract or subcontract. The prevailing wage must be paid regardless of any contractual relationship that may exist between a contractor or a subcontractor. Although the Department is not responsible for reviewing sub- contracts for compliance, it has the right to require a prevailing wage.

Sanctions for post-certification violations include suspension of payment, advances, or guarantees of grant funds, and the forced restitution of wages that should have been paid and the removal of offending contractors or subcontractors from active employment lists.

Failure to comply can bring penalties that can be severe. The contractor or subcontractor and their sureties are liable for any excess costs for completing the work; the Department may withhold accruals to ensure payment of prevailing wages to the workers; the contract or subcontract may be terminated and/or the contractor or subcontractor may be debarred for a period of three years.
