Davis-Bacon Labor Act Program
The Davis-Bacon Act (40 USC 276a-a(7)) applies to construction contracts in excess of $2,000 to which the Federal Government or the District of Columbia is a party. It specifies that not less than minimum wages be paid to the various classes of laborers and mechanics employed on a particular project based on the wages prevailing in the area as determined by the Secretary of Labor. PL 88-349 amended the Act as of July 2, 1964, to include fringe benefits in the "prevailing rate."
