Finding Text
WAGE RATE REQUIREMENTS Criteria: Per the OMB Compliance Supplement, recipients and subrecipients that use ESF funds for minor remodeling, renovation or construction contracts that are over $2,000 and use laborers and mechanics must meet Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements. This includes a requirement for the contractor or subcontractor to submit to the nonfederal entity weekly, for each week in which any contract work is performed, a copy of the payroll and a statement of compliance (certified payrolls). Condition: The district did not include in its solicitations the appropriate Wage Rate Requirements and did not require the contractor and/or subcontractors to submit weekly certified payrolls. Cause: Responsible officials were unaware of the requirements. Effect: Noncompliance with federal Wage Rate Requirements. Recommendation: Procedures should be developed to ensure compliance with all grant terms and conditions. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: The government agrees with this finding and will adhere to the attached corrective action plan.
