A10.3 CONTRACT CLAUSE <br />DAVIS-BACON REQUIREMENTS <br />1. Minimum Wages. <br />(i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work will be paid <br />unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any <br />account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland <br />Act (29 CFR Part 3)), the full amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalent <br />thereof) due at time of payment computed at rates not less than those contained in the wage <br />determination of the Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of <br />any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the Contractor and such laborers and <br />mechanics. <br />Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under section 1(b)(2) of <br />the Davis -Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or <br />mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph (l)(iv) of this section; also, regular contributions <br />made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, <br />funds, or programs which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or <br />incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage <br />rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed, <br />without regard to skill, except as provided in 29 CFR Part 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or mechanics performing <br />work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for <br />the time actually worked therein: Provided that the employer's payroll records accurately set forth the <br />time spent in each classification in which work is performed. The wage determination (including any <br />additional classification and wage rates conformed under (1)(ii) of this section) and the Davis -Bacon <br />poster (WH -1321) shall be posted at all times by the Contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the <br />work in a prominent and accessible place where it can easily be seen by the workers. <br />(ii)(A) The contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics, including helpers, <br />which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the contract shall be <br />classified in conformance with the wage determination. The contracting officer shall approve an <br />additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when the following criteria <br />have been met: <br />(1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the <br />wage determination; <br />(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and <br />(3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to <br />the wage rates contained in the wage determination. <br />(B) if the Contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or <br />their representatives, and the contracting officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the <br />amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by <br />Guidelines for Contract Provisions for Obligated Sponsors and Airport Improvement Program Projects <br />Issued on December 12, 2017 Page 30 <br />
