Where Community Economic Adjustment Planning Assistance (Community Planning Assistance) funds are used to assist in financing construction projects, the grant agreements require that loan recipients adhere to applicable federal labor standards established by the Davis-Bacon Act.
On July 1, 1984, the City established a monitoring system with respect to such costs. PAID is required to inform the City of any projects that are subject to compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act through the Office of Labor Standards. The Office of Labor Standards requests the necessary records from the loan recipient to determine if the loan recipient is in compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act. Upon receipt of written approval from the Office of Labor Standards, PAID makes the final disbursement of the grant funds. This procedure is in accordance with a letter dated September 26, 1984 from the Department of Commerce of the City, which represents that PAID is not responsible for monitoring compliance with the provisions of the Davis-Bacon Act. Monitoring is the responsibility of the City of Philadelphia Department of Commerce.
