AGC will conduct a two-part webinar titled “Davis-Bacon: Understanding, Influencing, and Complying with Federal Prevailing Wage Requirements” on Dec. 5 and 10, 2013, from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Understanding and complying with the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts is no simple task. Yet failure to do so can put a contractor at risk for catastrophic consequences -- from high-dollar penalties to debarment. This webinar series will provide valuable information to help you avoid those risks, whether you’re new to federal contract compliance or just want a refresher course and update. It will also help you understand your rights to influence and challenge the wage-and-benefits requirements that affect your firm.
Past AGC webinar speakers Tim Helm, head enforcer of Davis-Bacon at the U.S. Department of Labor, and Deborah Wilder, prevailing wage attorney and consultant, will be back by popular demand, along with Maria Duffy, the Department’s Davis-Bacon National Survey Coordinator.
The Dec. 5 session will cover Davis-Bacon and Related Acts coverage and specific compliance issues, such as “site of the work” and truck driver issues, qualifying fringe benefits, coverage of survey crews, certified payroll requirements, apprentices and trainees, and lodging and transportation expenses.
The Dec. 10 session will cover wage determinations, including the survey process used to establish them, how to effectively influence the outcome of that process, finding and interpreting wage determinations, applying the correct classification, what to do if a classification is missing, and how to seek reconsideration of a wage determination.
When signing up for the webinar, registrants can purchase the latest edition of AGC’s Davis-Bacon Manual (© 2012) for just $50 extra.
