David Bacon Prevailing Wage Guide.

For all jobs that require David Bacon wage rates, we put the below statement on the proposal.

We adhere fully to all federal contracting requirements.  Certified Payroll, and Davis Bacon Wages. We use wage rates from this page. 

The above site is how we determine the cost of each employee, which creates the cost of the project scope and determines the proposal price.

For David Bacon projects, submit weekly payroll sheets.

We created a formula sheet that you can plug in the amount of hours it requires each employee works and the hourly rate that you to pay for your trade and county- You can use download it here 

Why must you pay a higher rate to your employees for this job?

The project is being funded by the state, contractors that work on site must pay State arranged wages and benefits directly to your employee as normal.

Davis-Bacon and Related Acts, apply to contractors and subcontractors performing on federally funded or assisted contracts over $2,000 for the construction, alteration, or repair (including painting and decorating) of public buildings or public works. Davis-Bacon Act and Related Act contractors and subcontractors must pay their laborers and mechanics employees under the contract no less than the local prevailing wages and fringe benefits for corresponding work on similar projects in the area. The Davis-Bacon Act directs the Department of Labor to determine such locally prevailing wage rates. If this does not apply to you, then we require your bid as soon as possible.
