Davis Bacon Support Documents
Construction work that is financed in whole or in part with CDBG funds must adhere to certain Federal labor standards requirements.
The Davis-Bacon Act (40 USC, Chapter 3, Section 276a-276a-5; and 29 CFR Parts 1, 3, 5, 6 and 7) is triggered when construction work over $2,000 is financed in whole or in part with CDBG funds. It requires that workers receive no less than the prevailing wages being paid for similar work in the same area. Davis-Bacon does not apply to the rehabilitation of residential structures containing less than eight units or force account labor (construction carried out by employees of the grantee). HUD should be contacted if there is any situation where the applicability of Davis-Bacon is in question. The Copeland Anti-Kickback Act (40 USC, Chapter 3, Section 276c and 18 USC, Part 1, Chapter 41, Section 874; and 29 CFR Part 3) requires that workers be paid weekly, that deductions from workers’ pay be permissible, and that contractors maintain and submit weekly payrolls.
The Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 USC, Chapter 5, Sections 326-332; and 29 CFR Part 4, 5, 6 and 8; 29 CFR Part 70 to 240) applies to contracts over $100,000 and requires that workers receive overtime compensation (time and one-half pay) for hours they have worked in excess of 40 hours in one week. Violations under this Act carry a liquidated damages penalty ($10 per day per violation). Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, as amended requires the provision of opportunities for training and employment that arise through HUD financed projects to lower-income residents of the project area. Also required is that contracts be awarded to businesses that provide economic opportunities for low- and very low-income persons residing in the area.
