We will make our decision to offer this “in-house” based on response.
The Davis-Bacon and Related Acts: The Ins and Outs of Federal Prevailing Wage Law
A Three Part Webinar SeriesDecember 3, 2009 | December 8, 2009 | December 10, 2009
11:00 AM - 12:30 PM
With the downturn in the availability of commercial work, many construction contractors are bidding on federal and federally-assisted work, and facing the mandates of federal prevailing wage laws, for the first time. The application of the Davis-Bacon Act to all projects funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 is also responsible for leaving many contractors uncertain about the requirements of federal prevailing wage laws and the consequences of non-compliance. Perhaps you are a new staff person responsible for federal contract compliance or you've been in your role for a while and need a refresher course. This three-part webinar series will provide you with the information you need to understand the specific requirements of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts in a contractor-friendly manner.
