ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½app

ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½app of America has released a white paper discussing the impact federal and nonfederal contractors, as well as other interested parties, can have on the accuracy of Davis-Bacon wage determinations.  The white paper, titled "Impacting Davis-Bacon Wage Determinations:  A Guide for Contributing to the Accuracy of Published Prevailing Wage Rates in Construction", is available for download on the . ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½app created the white paper due to an influx of questions from ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½app chapters and members regarding Davis-Bacon wage determinations.  Some of the questions, which are addressed in the white paper, include how DOL establishes Davis-Bacon wage and fringe benefit rates, how to make a difference in the outcome of Davis-Bacon wage surveys, and how to challenge a Davis-Bacon wage determination once it has been published. The white paper includes a web link to ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½app’s NEW Construction Contractors Guide to Completing a Davis-Bacon Wage Survey: Why YOU Participate & How.  This pamphlet explains the importance of contractor participation in Davis-Bacon wage survey process, whether or not the contractor performs work that is covered by the Davis-Bacon Act.  It also explains how Davis-Bacon wage survey data are used and provides detailed instruction for completing the wage survey form.
