Davis-Bacon Labor Standards Compliance | MAG

Davis-Bacon labor standards compliance


All construction work that is financed in whole or in part by CDBG funds is subject to Davis-Bacon Labor Standards and Related Acts. In summary, the Davis-Bacon Act requires that all laborers and mechanics working on construction projects financed by the federal government be paid the prevailing wages for each job classification. Davis-Bacon requirements govern construction projects over $2,000, including demolition and building rehabilitation projects that alter or repair public buildings and/or public works.
