DESCRIPTION
"The Davis Bacon Act is one of the most complex statutes to follow. Organization that want to do business with the federal government must tread very carefully to safeguard compliance.” Susan Fahey Desmond
Doing business with the Federal Government and offer services on federally funded or assisted construction projects must comply with the Davis Bacon Act.
