Condition and criteria: There were contracting issues with some of the contractors performing barracks improvements and none of the contracts were performed under prevailing wage provisions, as required.

Cause: There were contracting issues with the contractors, and it appears the City was not effectively monitoring this requirement. Context and Effect: The costs appear to be allowable costs and activities, but approximately $118k should have been performed under prevailing wage standards, which is material to the program. Auditor?s recommendation: We recommend that additional reviews and procedures be put in place to ensure that all contracts with prevailing wage requirements are performed accordingly.
