OMB Approval Number 2501-0019

(Exp. 07/31/2004)




Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 2 hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. The information is considered non-sensitive and does not require special protection. This information is required to obtain benefits. This agency may not collect this information, and you are not required to complete this form, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.


All Federal agencies administering programs subject to Davis-Bacon wage provisions are required by Department of Labor (DOL) regulations (29 CFR Part 5, Section 5.7(b)) to submit a report of all new covered contracts/projects and all enforcement activities each six months. In order for HUD to comply with this requirement, it must collect contract and enforcement information from local agencies that administer HUD-assisted programs subject to Davis-Bacon requirements. HUD requests that local agencies complete and submit a Semi-annual Enforcement Report each six months.

Local agencies and HUD must retain a copy of the Semi-annual Enforcement Report in its files.


Please follow these instructions while compiling the Semi-Annual Labor Standards Enforcement Report

for Local Contracting Agencies (HUD Programs) (form HUD-4710).


Introduction


Department of Labor (DOL) Regulations 29 CFR §5.7(b) require Federal agencies administering programs subject to Davis-Bacon and Related Act (DBRA) and Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (CWHSSA) labor standards to furnish a Semi-Annual Labor Standards Enforcement Report to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division. Some HUD programs are administered by state and local agencies for labor standards compliance. HUD must collect information from such agencies in order to capture enforcement activities for all HUD programs in its reports to DOL.

Reporting Periods: Period 1 October 1 through March 31

Period 2 April 1 through September 30

Report Format: Each agency report consists of two parts:

Part I concerns contracting activity for work awarded during the reporting period;

Part II concerns enforcement activity for all contracts, regardless of the award date.


The HUD Labor Relations staff for your area will send a courtesy reminder shortly before the due date about preparing the report and will remind you of the date your report is due. However, you should maintain accurate records throughout the year of relevant contract information so that you can submit the report timely.


Definitions and Guidance


Part I - Contracting Activity - This part concerns only contracts that were awarded during this period. Do not include contracts that were awarded prior to this period even though the contracts may still be underway. Do include work subject to purchase order or other form of agreement, even if there is no formal contract award.


  1. Enter the total number of prime contracts subject to DBRA/CWHSSA awarded during this period. Track contracts by award or start of construction - do not track by bid opening date. Public Housing Authorities (PHAs), Tribally-designated Housing Entities (TDHEs)/Indian Housing Authorities (IHAs): Include force account work that is subject to DBRA/CWHSSA.


  1. Enter the total dollar amount of the contracts and/or PHA/TDHE/IHA force account work reported in Item1.


  1. List each project/contract name, brief descriptive information, number or unique identifier, dollar amount, the wage decision and modification number in the contract, bid opening date, contract award date, and construction start date. Identify which milestone date triggered the wage decision “lock-in” (bid opening date, contract award date or start of construction date, as appropriate). If the project was not subject to sealed bids, indicate “NA” for bid opening date and proceed to identify the other dates.


Part II - Enforcement Activity - This part concerns all enforcement activity no matter when the contract was awarded or construction began.


  1. Enter the number of employers (contractors, subcontractors, lower-tier subcontractors) against whom complaints were received during the report period. List the names of the employers against whom complaints were received and the projects involved.


  1. Enter the number of employers that were referred to HUD Labor Relations or DOL staff for investigations, for hearings on appeal and/or debarment hearings. List the employer, project, and agency (HUD or DOL) to which the case was referred, and the reason for referral - investigation, appeal hearing (DOL Regulations 29 CFR Part 5, Section §5.11) and/or debarment (DOL Regulations 29 CFR Part 5, Section §5.12) hearing.


  1. Enter information relative to wage restitution that was collected and/or disbursed during the report period. This includes restitution disbursed by the agency; restitution reported on certified payroll correction reports, amounts collected but not disbursed because workers could not be found. Report straight time wage restitution separate from Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (CWHSSA) overtime wage restitution. Also list liquidated damages collected for CWHSSA overtime violations.
