ForwardUnderstanding the Davis-Bacon Act: What’s Covered and What’s Not?
Access the on-demand webinar here.
Are you planning a construction or renovation project for your Head Start program?
When most people hear “construction and renovation projects,” they envision complicated, high-cost undertakings. However, requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act apply to even minor projects, like $2,000 for re-painting a facility. For Head Start programs, it is difficult to what is covered and what is excluded from coverage.
The Davis-Bacon Act is a law that, among other things, applies to contractors and subcontractors performing on federally-funded or federally-assisted contracts in excess of $2,000 for the construction, alteration, or repair (including painting and decorating) of public buildings or public works.
These prevailing wage requirements apply to Head Start construction and renovation projects because the Head Start Act incorporates those requirements from the Davis-Bacon Act into the Head Start Act. As a result, Head Start programs must ensure that all laborers are paid “locally prevailing wages” (as defined by the U.S. Department of Labor), even for smaller projects.
In this webinar, we'll provide an overview of the Davis-Bacon Act and discuss the answers to common questions like:
- What are the relevant Davis-Bacon Act requirements for Head Start programs?
- What do you need to know about laborers and mechanics, payroll certifications, and required contract clauses?
- How do I figure out what the locally prevailing wage is in my area?
- How do you stay in compliance with Davis-Bacon Act requirements?
- What are the consequences of non-compliance?
