Attention Contractor

The project you are bidding on is funded partially or wholly by federal funds from the U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). All construction work performed in relation to it is subject to the Davis-Bacon Act, Copeland Anti-Kickback Act, Contract Work Hours Safety Standards Act, and the Fair Labor Standards Act. Compliance will be monitored by the City of College Station Community Development Office.

The Davis-Bacon Act requires conformance to the attached wage decision for all construction workers on the site. All wages paid by prime and subcontractors to construction workers involved in this project must meet or exceed those wages listed on the decision. If a worker’s classification does not fit any for those shown, notify the City of College Station Community Development Office immediately. The payment of wages will be verified by submittal of weekly payrolls to the Community Development Office. If underpayment occurs, corrections will be made as specified by the Act.

The Copeland Anti-Kickback Act prohibits kickbacks from employees to employers on federal projects. Compliance is monitored by requiring contractors to submit their weekly payrolls to the College Station Community Development Office. All deductions from employee payrolls other than Social Security and Income Taxes must be authorized in writing by the employee affected. This includes deductions for medical care and retirement plans. Payroll Deduction Authorization Forms are available from the Community Development Office for this purpose. All payrolls must be submitted no more than seven days after the pay period covered.

The Fair Labor Standards Act sets requirements for payment of minimum wages, maximum hours, overtime pay, child labor standards and prohibits wage discrimination on the basis of race, religion or gender. When in conflict with the Davis-Bacon Act, the Davis-Bacon Act takes priority.

Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 mandates that “to the greatest extent feasible” (and consistent with existing Federal, state, and local laws and regulations) contracting opportunities generated by HUD programs be targeted to Section 3 Business Concerns, and training and employment opportunities be targeted to low-income persons. Contractors and Sub contractors will be required to certify that: 1) they are equal opportunity employers; 2) preferences will be given to qualified Section 3 Business Concerns and Workers; and 3) they do not maintain segregated facilities. The City of College Station strongly urges contractors to employ Section 3 Workers from within College Station City Limits and preferably within a one-mile radius of the project location.

Build America, Buy America Act or BABA mandates that any “infrastructure project” funded by any “Federal Financial Assistance” (FFA) apply a domestic content procurement preference, meaning that all iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials used in the infrastructure project have been produced in the United States, unless the awarding agency has issued a waiver of this requirement.
