The Department of Economic Equity & Opportunity (DEEO) diligently oversees compliance with the Davis Bacon & Related Acts (DBRA) for construction projects, enforcing federal, state, and local policies mandating the payment of prevailing wages and fringe benefits to workers. In adherence to these regulations, DEEO staff meticulously verify that contractors and subcontractors on construction sites uphold the minimum compensation standards, ensuring that laborers and mechanics receive locally prevailing wages, including fringe benefits, for the specific work performed.
