Notes to SEFA

The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of Elk City Independent School District No. 06, Beckham County, Oklahoma under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2025. The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2, U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of Elk City Independent School District No. 06, Beckham County, Oklahoma, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of Elk City Independent School District No. 06, Beckham County, Oklahoma.
Expenditures reported in the Schedule are reported on the regulatory basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Negative amounts reflected in the schedule represent adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years. Nonmonetary assistance in the form of commodities is reported in the Schedule at the fair market value of the commodities received and disbursed. Therefore, some amounts presented in this Schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the basic financial statements. The District has elected not to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance. Also, there were no awards passed through to sub-recipients.

Criteria: The Davis-Bacon Act requires that nonfederal entities shall meet certain requirements for the construction, alteration or repair of public buildings or public works in excess of $2,000.00. Any contract entered into must include the locally prevailing wage to be paid to workers including fringe benefits. The contractor is obliged to pay at least the prevailing wage listed in the contract. Contractors are required to pay covered workers weekly and submit weekly certified payrolls to the contracting entity. They are also required to post the applicable Davis-Bacon wage determination along with the Davis-Bacon poster at the job site. Cause: The District did not follow the requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act when expending federal monies on projects. Effect: The District could be liable for paying any additional wages if the contractor did not pay prevailing wage rates to laborers working on the project, or the expenditures could be disallowed for the expenditures that were subject to the Davis-Bacon Act. Recommendation: We recommend the District develop internal controls to meet the requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act that ensure any time federal awards are used on construction that compliance with contracts, including inserting the prevailing wage clauses and ensuring that federal wage rates and fringes are met by an effective monitoring process which includes collecting and reviewing weekly certified payroll reports from the contractor or subcontractor. Also, ensuring that all items are posted at the work site to ensure compliance. District’s Response: The District will develop internal controls to ensure that in the future if federal awards are expended on construction, including projects with labor or installation, that all requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act will be met.
