The application of the Davis-Bacon
and Related Acts (DBRA) to federal and federally assisted construction projects
leaves many contractors uncertain about the requirements of federal prevailing
wage laws and the consequences of non-compliance. Failure to comply puts
covered contractors at risk of catastrophic consequences, from losing money on
contracts due to failure to understand labor costs, to high dollar back pay and
related penalties, to debarment from future federal work. Adding further
confusion, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) recently enacted a massive
overhaul and update to the regulations governing the DBRA. This three-part
webinar series seeks to help such contractors avoid those risks by educating
staff tasked with DBRA compliance and administration on coverage, requirements,
pitfalls, and enforcement of these laws.
