CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN (Concerning Finding 2024-001)
Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Margaret White, Superintendent
Corrective Action: RSU 84 will take the following actions to address finding 2024-001 Wage
Rate Requirements.
As stated in last year’s Corrective Action Plan, starting on May 1, 2023, RSU 84 began
implementing internal control processes and procedures to ensure we followed the criteria for
Special Test and Provisions Wage Rate Requirements. We asked for a prevailing wage rate clause
in the contract provisions for construction contracts and obtained copies of certified payrolls.
Moving forward, current and future year construction projects paid for with federal and/or state
funding will include further Davis Bacon language. Starting in the FY 25 Davis Bacon contracts
RSU 84 will include the missing language attached to this Corrective Action Plan. Payroll
certifications will be received with each invoice submitted for payment to the district and
reviewed by the Business Manager for compliance with Davis Bacon guidelines as applicable.
A copy of the OMB Circulars containing the CFR guidelines has been received and reviewed by
the Business Manager and applicable grant managers/coordinators to implement a more stringent
internal control process and procedure to ensure all requirements are followed. The Business
Manager will update the district’s administrative team and central office staff on applicable
guidelines to ensure compliance with all projects paid for by federal and/or state funding.
Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2025
Sincerely,
Margaret C. White
Superintendent RSU 84/MSAD 14
Basic Record Requirements-
All regular payrolls and other basic records must be maintained by
the contractor and any subcontractor during the course of the work and
preserved for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work
(or otherwise working in construction or development of the project
under a development statute) for a period of at least three years after all
the work on the prime contract is completed.
Certified Payroll Requirements-
The contractor or subcontractor must submit weekly, for each
week in which any DBA-or Related Acts-covered work is performed,
certified payrolls to the [appropriate Federal agency] if the agency is a
party to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the
contractor will submit the certified payrolls to the applicant, sponsor,
owner, or other entity, as the case may be, that maintains such records,
for transmission to the [write name of agency]. The prime contractor is
responsible for the submission of all certified payrolls by all
subcontractors. A contracting agency or prime contractor may permit or
require contractors to submit certified payrolls through an electronic
system, as long as the electronic system requires a legally valid electronic
signature; the system allows the contractor, the contracting agency, and
the Department of Labor to access the certified payrolls upon request for
at least three years after the work on the prime contract has been
completed; and the contracting agency or prime contractor permits other
methods of submission in situations where the contractor is unable or
limited in its ability to use or access the electronic system.
