Davis-Bacon Wage Requirements for Project-Based Vouchers

The Davis–Bacon Act of 1931 is a U.S. federal law that sets the requirement for paying the local prevailing wages on public works projects for laborers and mechanics. It applies to “contractors and subcontractors performing on federally funded or assisted contracts in excess of $2,000 for the construction, alteration, or repair (including painting and decorating) of public buildings or public works.”
