Many construction projects funded by the federal government are subject to the Davis-Bacon Act.<\/p>\n

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the Davis-Bacon Act applies to contractors and subcontractors performing on federally funded or assisted contracts in excess of $2,000 for the construction, alteration, or repair (including painting and decorating) of public buildings or public works. Contractors and subcontractors working on projects covered by the Davis-Bacon Act must pay their laborers and mechanics employed under the contract no less than the locally Prevailing Wages and fringe benefits for corresponding work on similar projects in the area.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/columbusconstruction.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/videoframe_22523.jpeg” title_text=”videoframe_22523″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f4f4f4″ custom_margin=”0px|0px|0px|0px|true|true” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px|true|true” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” max_width=”1440px” custom_margin=”0px||0px||true|true” custom_padding=”64px|63px|64px|63px|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”40px|30px|40px|30px|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”40px|30px|40px|30px|true|true” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_text_color=”gcid-f6841ab2-6556-4ee9-a345-ac304b36ae3f” header_2_font_size=”36px” custom_margin=”||1px|||” custom_padding=”3px|||||” header_2_font_size_tablet=”22px” header_2_font_size_phone=”22px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-f6841ab2-6556-4ee9-a345-ac304b36ae3f%22:%91%22header_2_text_color%22%93}”]

The Benefits of Prevailing Wage<\/span><\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|–et_global_body_font_weight|||||||” text_text_color=”gcid-fbe8b446-55bf-4446-b6ba-313267057713″ text_font_size=”18px” text_font_size_tablet=”16px” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-fbe8b446-55bf-4446-b6ba-313267057713%22:%91%22text_text_color%22%93}”]

Extensive research has consistently shown that Prevailing Wage laws benefit all building trades workers, construction project owners and the public in general. Data regularly demonstrates that these laws do not result in significant cost variations on construction projects and, in fact, result in savings due to better investment in the workforce and the resulting higher-quality construction. They also show that in most instances, it is the cost of the building materials that drives up the price of a project \u2013 not the workforce.<\/p>\n

Prevailing Wage laws keep cost overruns low and quality high by utilizing a workforce that is paid properly to do the job right the first time.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Prevailing Wage jobs benefit the local economy by ensuring local contractors and local construction crews work on projects. These workers spend their wages locally, which benefits area businesses and keeps the local economy moving.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”gcid-f6841ab2-6556-4ee9-a345-ac304b36ae3f” custom_margin=”0px|0px|0px|0px|true|true” custom_padding=”64px|63px|64px|63px|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”40px|20px|40px|20px|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”64px|30px|64px|30px|true|true” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-f6841ab2-6556-4ee9-a345-ac304b36ae3f%22:%91%22background_color%22%93}”][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”off|desktop” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_color=”off” width=”100%” max_width=”1440px” custom_margin=”0px||0px||true|true” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”40px|20px|40px|20px|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”40px|20px|40px|20px|true|true” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|–et_global_body_font_weight|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_font_size=”18px” header_2_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_2_font_size=”36px” header_3_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_3_font_size=”20px” custom_padding=”||30px||false|false” text_font_size_tablet=”16px” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Additionally, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation had fewer bids on projects and more projects awarded to out-of-state contractors.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/faircontracting.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/mepi-csu-wisconsin-repeal-study-final.pdf” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”View\/Download PDF of the Study” button_alignment=”left” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”18px” button_bg_color=”#1d4387″ button_border_width=”2px” button_border_color=”#c7c9ca” button_border_radius=”0px” button_font=”Itc franklin gothic|700|||||||” button_use_icon=”off” background_layout=”dark” custom_margin=”25px||25px||true|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” hover_transition_duration=”200ms” hover_transition_speed_curve=”linear” custom_css_free_form=”selector:hover{|| outline: 3px solid #899093 !important;;|| outline-offset: 0px;||}” button_text_shadow_style=”preset4″ button_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” global_colors_info=”{}” button_bg_color__hover=”#00225e” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_border_color__hover=”#FFFFFF” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_bg_enable_color__hover=”on”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#899093″ width=”100%” max_width=”1440px” custom_margin=”0px||28px||false|true” custom_padding=”34px|34px|34px|34px|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”30px|20px|30px|20px|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”30px|20px|30px|20px|true|true” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|–et_global_body_font_weight|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_font_size=”18px” header_2_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_2_font_size=”36px” header_3_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_3_font_size=”20px” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” text_font_size_tablet=”16px” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”]

It found that 91 percent of studies revealed that Prevailing Wage laws do not increase construction costs. Duncan also found that Prevailing Wage laws benefit local contractors, employers and the local economy. They help reduce injuries, discourage underground labor practices (paying workers in cash) and increase the amount of income tax collected.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/faircontracting.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Colorado-Prevailing-Wage-Study-2024.pdf” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”View\/Download PDF of the Study” button_alignment=”left” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”18px” button_bg_color=”#899093″ button_border_width=”2px” button_border_color=”#c7c9ca” button_border_radius=”0px” button_font=”Itc franklin gothic|700|||||||” button_use_icon=”off” background_layout=”dark” custom_margin=”25px||25px||true|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” hover_transition_duration=”200ms” hover_transition_speed_curve=”linear” custom_css_free_form=”selector:hover{|| outline: 3px solid #899093 !important;;|| outline-offset: 0px;||}” button_text_shadow_style=”preset4″ button_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” global_colors_info=”{}” button_bg_color__hover=”#52636b” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_border_color__hover=”#FFFFFF” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_bg_enable_color__hover=”on”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#c12233″ width=”100%” max_width=”1440px” custom_margin=”0px||28px||false|true” custom_padding=”34px|34px|34px|34px|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”30px|20px|30px|20px|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”30px|20px|30px|20px|true|true” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|–et_global_body_font_weight|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_font_size=”18px” header_2_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_2_font_size=”36px” header_3_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_3_font_size=”20px” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” text_font_size_tablet=”16px” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”]
