This document discusses the position of GAO regarding wage rates prescribed in the Davis-Bacon Act. Specifically, GAO determined that the wage rates did not apply to work performed off the site of construction whether by contractors, subcontractors or materialmen, even though performed in the immediate community, regardless of the fact that the work might be performed on a project operated exclusively, or nearly so, for use in connection with the prime contract.
