Davis-Bacon & Related Acts
Davis-Bacon & Related Acts (DBRA)
The Davis-Bacon and Related Acts (DBRA) apply to contractors and subcontractors performing work on federally funded or assisted contracts. Under DBRA, contractors and subcontractors are required to pay their employees no less than the locally prevailing wage rate as determined by the U.S. Department of Labor. The SRF program provides compliance assistance to loan recipients, consultants and contractors and performs reviews and site visits to ensure that all parties are in compliance with this requirement. A Davis-Bacon Compliance Certification form is required to be submitted with every disbursement request that includes costs for construction (this requirement does not apply to DWSRF privately owned system projects).
