In September 2018, staff and current construction contractors received federal labor standards training from HUD Specialists. NORA staff continues to take preventive measures to ensure compliance with weekly reporting requirements by conducting contractor training during pre-construction meetings for all new Facade Renew and Commercial Gap construction contractors. Weekly reporting requirements are a key element of the contractor training which the prime contractor certifies their understanding. Instructions for completing certified payrolls are also discussed and provided to each contractor during the pre-construction meeting. In addition, follow-up procedures for non-compliant contractors and corrective actions are made part of each project file in accordance with NORA's Davis Bacon Policies and Procedures Manual. The contractor is informed that NORA will withhold sufficient money from any pay requests to ensure compliance. NORA has further revised its Pre-construction Meeting checklist to include the following: - Require Applicant/Prime Contractor/Grantee to designate a Labor Compliance Officer for Davis Bacon. - Require the Labor Compliance Officer to attend the pre-construction meeting for training. For Disaster Commercial Corridor Applicants/Prime Contractors, Grant Managers will notify designated Labor Compliance Officers to send notification advising when certified payrolls are added to LCPtracker. - NORA is responsible for paying the organization for which they are contracted with. NORA will require the applicant/prime contractor/grantee to sign off that they understand that they will not be paid and/or reimbursed if Davis Bacon is not in compliance regardless to whether or not the subcontractor had already been paid by the applicant/prime/grantee until such compliance is reach. -Project Managers will provide to Grant Managers the project construction schedule and subcontractor schedule. A list of contractors/sub-contractors on each working on each project will also be provided. These schedules/lists needs to be updated as project milestones are met and/or change orders are approved.
