Question: What is the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts (DBRA)?
Answer: The Davis-Bacon Act, as amended, requires that each contract
over $2,000 to which the United States or the District of Columbia is a
party for the construction, alteration, or repair of public buildings or
public works shall contain a clause setting forth the minimum wages to be
paid to various classes of laborers and mechanics employed under the contract.
Under the provisions of the Act, contractors or their subcontractors are
to pay workers employed directly upon the site of the work no less than
the locally prevailing wages and fringe benefits paid on projects of a similar
character. The Davis-Bacon Act directs the Secretary of Labor to determine
such local prevailing wage rates.
