AI Summary

  • Core Issue: The District failed to monitor the completeness of weekly certified payroll submissions for federally funded construction projects.
  • Impacted Requirements: Compliance with wage rate requirements for projects funded by Education Stabilization Funds.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: The District should improve control procedures to ensure all necessary documents from the general contractor are received consistently.

Finding Text

Condition: The District did not monitor completeness of weekly certified payroll submission for federally funded construction contracts. Criteria: Construction projects paid with Education Stabilization Funds are subject to wage rate requirements. The District is responsible for monitoring that all weekly certified payrolls are received. Cause: The contractor did not provide a subcontractor list to the District and did not provide weekly reports to the District indicating which subcontractors were onsite. Further, weekly certified payrolls were not sent to the District until we requested them during our audit procedures. Effect: It is possible that not all contractors required to certify weekly payroll submitted their wage rate certifications. Recommendation: The District should enhance control procedures to monitor completeness of the documents provided by the general contractor.
