Financial Assistance Programs – Grants and Loans
Davis-Bacon Act Compliance
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) is providing much-needed assistance through the State Revolving Fund (SRF) programs to communities across the country. However, this assistance comes with several Federal requirements which are unfamiliar to many assistance recipients. The State Water Resources Control Board publishes information to the public regarding Davis-Bacon Act compliance on this web page.
- Compliance Notice
All CWSRF Financial Agreements executed on or after October 30, 2009 will need to comply with Davis-Bacon provisions regardless of the funding source.
In order to comply with these provisions, all contractors and subcontractors must comply with the Davis-Bacon Act (include appropriate wage determinations and required clauses in bids and contracts, *verify registration in approved U.S. Department of Labor Apprenticeship Programs, conduct wage rate interviews, collect/review weekly payroll and compliance statements, applicable wage and whistle blow posters at construction site) for the entirety of the construction activities financed by the assistance agreement through completion of construction, no matter when construction commences.
