Executive Order - Waive Requirements of Davis Bacon ActThe Davis–Bacon Act of 1931 is a United States federal law that establishes the requirement for paying the local prevailing wages on public works projects for laborers and mechanics. It applies to "contractors and subcontractors performing on federally funded or assisted contracts in excess of $2,000 for the construction, alteration, or repair (including painting and decorating) of public buildings or public works". The act has been ÷þ÷ñÄãÀÄÀ�ķĐÄ�üÑâÄ÷�»ē�BôÄ÷ÑÀÄãü÷ȩ��

HÑÎãÑķ¼°ãü�¼Ð°ãÎÄ÷�Ñã�economic conditions, and the economic character of the construction industry since 1931, plus the passage of other wage laws, make the act unnecessary. After nearly 50 years, the Department of Labor has not developed an effective program to issue and maintain current and accurate wage determinations; it may be impractical to ever do so. The act results in unnecessary construction and administrative costs of several hundred million dollars annually (if the construction projects reviewed by GAO are representative) and has °ã�Ñãĸ°üÑçã°ôē�ÄÍÍÄ¼ü�çã�the areas covered by inaccurate wage rates and the economy as a whole.
