About this file

This document provides information regarding prevailing wage requirements on a federal construction project. The Davis-Bacon Act poster outlines obligations to pay laborers and mechanics working on the project wages no less than those contained in the wage decision posted. It details requirements to pay overtime at 1.5 times the basic hourly rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek, with few exceptions. Contract payments may be withheld and liquidated damages or penalties including debarment may apply if contractors do not meet overtime pay requirements or falsify certified payroll records. Apprentice rates only apply to those in approved federal or state apprenticeship programs. Affected workers can contact the contracting office or U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division for proper pay or additional information.

The related federal contract opportunity is a solicitation for renovations to building 200 at a Veterans Affairs medical center to update VAV controls on wings B1, D1, and select rooms on wings C and E. The solicitation is in PDF format and issued by the VA Veterans Health Administration VISN 9.
