Why don't inspectors get the right wage under this Act?

Why don’t job site inspectors get paid prevailing wage, when inspecting jobs that fall under Davis Bacon Act?

Answer #1

Hi trailsrider,

Under the act, all federal government construction contracts, and most contracts for federally assisted construction over $2,000, must include provisions for paying workers on-site no less than the locally prevailing wages and benefits paid on similar projects.

HOWEVER

After Hurricane Katrina, President George W. Bush issued a proclamation to indefinitely suspend the provisions of the Davis–Bacon Act in designated areas in the States of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi.

So if you are working in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana or Mississippi, you are not guaranteed the prevailing wage.

Hope that helps.
