What are the Davis-Bacon Act wage determination requirements for a construction project over $2,000?

You find the correct wage determination for a federal construction project by looking for the wage determination in the solicitation documents. The Davis-Bacon Act applies to federal contracts exceeding $2,000 for construction, alteration, or repair of public buildings or public works, so the contracting officer must include the applicable wage determination in the Invitation for Bid (IFB). You will find it in Section J of the Uniform Contract Format, which lists attachments. Review the wage determination carefully to ensure your bid includes the correct prevailing wages for all labor categories. If you cannot locate it or have questions about its applicability, submit a question during the amendment and the Q&A period specified in the IFB. State and local government construction projects follow state procurement codes and their respective portals' vendor guides, which might have different requirements.
