Finding 524405 (2024-003)

I NOTED THAT THE NCC DID NOT INCLUDE PREVAILING WAGE REQUIREMENTS IN THEIR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT, NOR DID THEY RECEIVED CERTIFIED PAYROLLS FROM THE CONTRACTOR. PER HOME COMPLIANCE SUPPLEMENT, WHEN MORE THAN 12 HOME ASSISTED UNITS ARE BEING CONSTRUCTED, THE ORGANIZATION IS REQUIRED TO INCLUDE PREVAILING WAGE REQUIREMENTS IN CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS IN EXCESS OF 2K AND REVIEW/RECEIVE CERTIFIED PAYROLLS FROM CONTRACTOR. NO QUESTIONED COSTS NOTED. IT APPEARED THE CONTRACT WAS SIGNED PRIOR TO FINAL FUNDING AND THE HOME REQUIREMENTS WERE NOT REVIEWED BY MANAGEMENT PRIOR TO AUTHORIZING/APPROVING THE CONTRACT. CONTRACT DID NOT CONTAIN PREVAILING WAGE VERBIAGE. THERE WAS ONE CONTRACT THAT REQUIRED PREVAILING WAGE VERBIAGE AND IT DID NOT CONTAIN THE REQUIRED VERBIAGE. DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE FINDING, PRIMARILY THAT THE CONSTRUCTION WAS COMPLETE NO FURTHER SUGGESTIONS OTHER THAN TO ENSURE THAT IN THE FUTURE, ENTIRE GRANT AGREEMENTS, ALONG WITH ANY APPLICABLE COMPLIANCE SUPPLEMENTS ARE REVIEWED PRIOR TO EXPENDING FUNDS.
