ESSER requires that for minor remodeling, renovation or construction contracts that are over $2,000 and use laborers and mechanics must meet Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements. The District did not get certified payrolls for many contractors within the ESSER grant. The reason for this is that the ESSER requirements are new and a lot of entities did not know the limit for certified payrolls was lowered to $2,000 The effect is it?s possible that some contractors did not pay prevailing wage. We recommend that the District put in place a system where invoices for contractors are not paid until they receive certified payrolls, or some sort of system that ensures compliance.
