[Recommendation for Debarment for Labor Standards Violations]

The Employment Standards Administration recommended the debarment of a firm and its president for violations of the Davis-Bacon Act. GAO held that: (1) the firm violated the act by failing to pay its employees the required minimum wage; (2) since the firm submitted falsified certified payroll records, the violations were intentional; and (3) there were no factors militating against debarment. Accordingly, the firm and its president were placed on the debarred bidders list.
