Davis-Bacon Act
The federal statute requiring that laborers and mechanics on covered federally funded construction contracts be paid no less than the locally prevailing wages and fringe benefits determined by the Department of Labor.
The Davis-Bacon Act applies to contracts for the construction, alteration or repair of public buildings or public works to which the federal government is a party, above a statutory threshold. A large body of related acts extends similar requirements to federally assisted work.
Under it, the Department of Labor determines the wages and fringe benefits prevailing for corresponding classes of workers on similar projects in the locality, and publishes those determinations. Covered contracts incorporate one.
Whether a particular contract is covered, and which determination was incorporated into it, are questions about that contract. This archive reports what was published; it holds no contracts and can say nothing about coverage.
