DBA Semi Annual Reporting

Davis-Bacon Act Semi-Annual Enforcement Reporting Update – Draft for SEP, WAP, and EECBG

Dear Grantee:

In your award under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act), the Special Terms and Conditions incorporate by reference compliance with Davis-Bacon and Related Act requirements contained in 29 CFR part 5.7(b). To assist the Department of Labor (DOL) Administrator, the Department of Energy (DOE) prepares a semi-annual report on compliance with and enforcement of the labor standards provisions of the Davis-Bacon Act and its related acts covering periods of October 1^st through March 31^st and April 1^st through September 30^th. DOE submits these reports to the DOL Administrator on April 30^th and October 31^st, in each calendar year respectively.

Since DOE has to compile this information across the Department, we request that you submit your reports on April 21^st and October 21^st in each semi-annual reporting period.

DOE will have recipients report the required information through the Performance and Accountability for Grants in Energy (PAGE) system (www.PAGE.energy.gov). The PAGE system is the same electronic system that recipients use for other ARRA reporting requirements.

The types of information that you should be tracking in order to submit this report to DOE are as follows:

• Number of contracts awarded subject to Davis-Bacon and related acts;

• Total dollar amount of contracts awarded;

• Number of contractors/subcontractors against whom complaints were received;

• Number of investigations completed;

• Number of contractors/subcontractors found in violation;

• Amount of wage restitution found due;

• Amount of back wages paid;

• Total number of employees due wage restitution; and

• Amount of liquidated damages assessed.

DOE will be providing the semi-annual enforcement reporting form and more detailed instructions for reporting in PAGE during the last week in March 2012. If you have questions or concerns regarding the submission of this report, please email DOE at [email protected].

Transparency is a critical aspect of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and DOE is working with you to ensure compliance with Davis-Bacon Act and its related acts. For technical questions or concerns regarding your award, please contact your DOE Project Officer. For other questions or concerns regarding the terms and conditions of your award, please contact your DOE Contracting Officer. Thank you for your continued efforts to execute your grant and meet DOE’s and other federal reporting requirements.
