2. Withholding.

Board of Commissioners Meeting · 2026-06-01 · agenda_item

This item concerns a policy regarding wage payments for contractors and subcontractors working on federal contracts. It outlines procedures for withholding payments if prevailing wage requirements, such as those under the Davis-Bacon Act, are not met. The Federal Agency or Client, upon request from the Department of Labor, can withhold funds from a contractor to ensure laborers and mechanics are paid correctly. This policy applies to current and future federal contracts held by the same prime contractor. The process involves written notice to the contractor before any suspension of payments. This is a policy review and does not involve immediate construction work. Businesses involved in federal contracting should be aware of these wage and payment regulations.
