NC-MPO <br /> Davis Bacon Wage Rates <br /> The Davis-Bacon Act is applicable to all federally funded construction contracts in excess of$2,000. <br /> This Act requires that each contract for the construction, alteration, or repair(including painting <br /> and decorating) of public buildings or public works within the United States shall contain a clause <br /> that no laborer or mechanic employed directly upon the site of the work shall receive less than the <br /> prevailing wage rate as determined by the U.S. Secretary of Labor.The minimum wages (including <br /> fringe benefits) are those determined by the Secretary of Labor to be prevailing for the laborers and <br /> mechanics employed on projects of a similar character in the area in which the work is to be <br /> performed. Recipients and Sub-recipients will be required to include the prevailing wage rates in <br /> contracts for construction in excess of$2000. Additional guidance can be found in 29 CFR parts 1, 3 <br /> and 5. <br /> Prohibition on Exclusive School Transportation <br /> Sub-recipients may not provide school bus transportation solely. School bus transportation is <br /> defined by FTA as transportation exclusively for school students or personnel. Sub-recipients are <br /> required to certify compliance. Students with disabilities are permitted on regular service along <br /> with the general public ("tripper service").The Applicant and sub-recipients understand that a <br /> violation of this agreement may require corrective measures and the imposition of penalties, <br /> including debarment from the receipt of further Federal assistance for transportation. <br /> Approved by DCHC MPO TAC 6.11.14 Page 20 <br />
