DBA Coverage

DBA requires payment "at wage rates not less than those stated in the advertised specifications, regardless of any contractural relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor or subcontractor and such laborers and mechanics ..." In U.S. v. Landis and Young, 16 F. Supp. 832, the court allowed an electrical contractor's claim for more than the fixed price plaintiff agreed to in contracting to perform electrical work because the object of that DBA provision is to require, as a matter of policy, all persons performing the duties of a laborer or mechanic on a covered rproject at least the predetermined minimum of wages according to the scale named.

By procalmation f the President on March 29, 1971, Proclamation 4031 of February 23, 1971 is revoked as to all construction contracts for which solicitations for bids or proposals were issued after the date of this Proclamation, whether direct federal construction or federally assisted construction. By Executive Order 11588, on March 29, 1971, the President esstablished a wage and price stabilization mechanism for the construction industry, under which DBA and similar State wage determinations were not to take into consideration "wage or salary increases in excess of that found to be acceptable."

As DOL had worked out an arrangement to publish approximately 400 area (general) Davis-Bacon and Related Acts wage determinations in the Federal Register with the geographic scope and limits of application clearly stated in the published wage determination heading. The area wage determinations had been issued for certain areas/federal agencies but had not previously been published. The AAM issued a schedule for wage determinations to be published on Fridays for areas in specific states from April 6, 1971 through September 3, 1971.  Subsequently, new wage determinations, replacements, or modifications to particular area determinations would be published in Friday issues of the Federal Register.

Due to a problem GPO encountered, the schedule issued in AAM 98 for publishing Davis-Bacon "area (general) wage determinations" in the Federal Register was revised, still to begin on Friday August 6, 1971 and to extend through Friday September 3, 1971 (spreading out publication by the addition of three Wednedsays for the initial schedule).
