CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN (concerning finding 2023-001: Special Tests and Provisions-Wage Rate Requirements)
CORRECTIVE ACTION:
Maine School Administrative District 52 has already begun implementing the corrective action plan for the finding related to the Education Stabilization Fund. Our FY 2022 Audit was not completed until April 2023, which was after this current finding had already taken place. During the FY 2022 Audit process, it was brought to our attention that MSAD 52 was in need of ensuring compliance with the prevailing wage requirements when Federal Funds were being used, also known as the Davis Bacon Act. When this was brought to our attention, we began providing all contractors who were bidding on work at the district with the current prevailing wage information for Androscoggin County. In addition, we had each contractor sign the certification that they would pay all employees working on any project at MSAD 52 the prevailing wage. In addition, we are now requiring all contractors provide certified timesheets prior to releasing payment for the work.
ANTICIPATED COMPLETION DATE: This has begun effective March 2024.
