The subgrantee (City) would then be required to follow its own procedures in procuring the contract, unless the County has required something different in the subaward. As long as everybody's following their own standard written procedures, we should be all set. I also checked in with Penny, and since CIAP's authorizing legislation doesn't contain any Davis - Bacon language, there's no need for Davis -Bacon compliance on our end. JMC Davis - Bacon Act Definition According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment Law Guide, the Davis -Bacon Act: "...requires that all contractors and subcontractors performing on federal contracts (and contractors or subcontractors performing on federally assisted contracts under the related Acts) in excess of $2,000 pay their laborers and mechanics not less than the prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits listed in the contract's Davis -Bacon wage determination for corresponding classes of laborers and mechanics employed on similar projects in the area."[1 ] Guidance For grants and cooperative agreements, the Davis -Bacon Act only applies to "Related Acts", i.e., those that specifically incorporate the requirement in the program's authorizing statue/legislation. For example, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) incorporated the requirements of the Davis -Bacon Act. See the U.S. Department of Labor's website at htto://www.dol.eov/whd/nroerams/dbra/whatdbra.htm for more information. If the program's authorizing legislation does incorporate the Davis -Bacon Act requirements, the provision is applicable to construction contracts of more than $2,000 awarded by recipients and subrecipients. see 43 CFR Parts 12.76 Procurement, 12.948 Contract provisions and Appendix A to Subpart F—Contract Provisions for more information. However, if theDavis-Bacon Act requirements are not specifically included in the program's authorizing legislation, then the requirements do not apply. Frequently Asked Questions When should a notice of award include the Davis -Bacon Act provision? A notice of award should only include the Davis -Bacon Act provision when the funding program's authorizing legislation specifically incorporates the requirements of the Davis -Bacon Act. As with CIAP, there are no specific requirements within the CLAP enabling legislation ( the Energy Policy Act of 2005) that address the Davis -Bacon Act as per the requirements found in 43 CFR 12.76(i)(5) below: (i) Contract provisions. A grantee's and subgrantee's contracts must contain provisions in paragraph (i) of this section. Federal agencies are permitted to require changes, remedies, changed conditions, access and records retention, suspension of work, and other clauses approved by the Office of Federal Procurement Policy. (5) Compliance with the Davis -Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 276a to 276a-7) as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 5). (Construction contracts in excess of $2000 awarded by grantees and subgrantees when required by Federal grant program legislation) Regarding the Wildlife Restoration Act and the Sport Fish Restoration Act: A Solicitor's opinion dated April 11, 1988 determined that a Service review of grant program statutes found no specific requirement for compliance with Davis -Bacon provisions. In addition, the Rules of the Secretary of Labor (29 CFR Part 5) were reviewed and it was concluded, in consultation with the Solicitor, that the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Acts administered by the Service were not subject to Davis -Bacon provisions.
