The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) was signed into law by President Obama on February 17, 2009. Division A of ARRA appropriates substantial funding for construction, alteration and repair of federal buildings and for infrastructure projects, such as roads, bridges, public transit, water systems, and housing. In accordance with existing Davis-Bacon Act (DBA) requirements, federal agencies directly contracting for construction work using ARRA funds must ensure that bid solicitations and resulting covered contracts contain Davis-Bacon labor standards and wage determinations in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations.

Also, generally, Federal agencies must ensure that recipients of assistance funded by ARRA appropriations require contractors and subcontractors to pay laborers and mechanics employed on ARRA-assisted construction at least the Davis-Bacon prevailing wages. In addition, Division B of ARRA requires application of Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements to projects financed with certain tax-favored bonds.

This portal contains information on prevailing wage labor standards applicable to construction projects funded under ARRA. The Copeland “Anti-Kickback Act” and overtime pay requirements under the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act also apply to ARRA funded construction. In addition, ARRA appropriations will fund federal service contracts subject to the Service Contract Act (SCA), and federal contracts subject to coverage under the Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act (PCA).
