AI Summary

  • Core Issue: The NCC failed to include prevailing wage requirements in their construction contract and did not obtain certified payrolls from the contractor.
  • Impacted Requirements: According to the HOME Compliance Supplement, contracts for 12 or more HOME-assisted units must include prevailing wage terms and certified payrolls must be reviewed.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Ensure future contracts include the necessary prevailing wage verbiage and that management reviews compliance requirements before contract approval.

Finding Text

I NOTED THAT THE NCC DID NOT INCLUDE PREVAILING WAGE REQUIREMENTS IN THEIR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT, NOR DID THEY RECEIVE CERTIFIED PAYROLLS FROM THE CONTRACTOR. PER HOME COMPLIANCE SUPPLEMENT, WHEN 12 OR MORE HOME ASSISTED UNITS ARE BEING CONSTRUCTED, THE ORG IS REQUIRED TO INCLUDE PREVAILING WAGE REQUIREMENTS IN CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS IN EXCESS OF 2K AND REVIEW/RECEIVE CERTIFIED PAYROLLS FROM THE 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 REQUIRED VERBIAGE REGARDING PAYMENT OF PREVAILING WAGES. THERE WAS ONE CONTRACT REQUIRED TO CONTAIN THE VERBIAGE AND IT DID NOT. THIS WAS NOT A REPEAT FINDING.
