Although davis-bacon was originally intended to ensure that federal construction contracts reflected private practices, it has come to Operate counter to its original purpose. Often the prevailing rates set by the Department of Labor are significantly higher than the actual averages for the locality, disrupting the local labor standards it was meant to preserve. The burdensome requirements of davis-bacon discourage many small and minority-owned firms from even bidding on federal work, reducing competition and driving up the cost to the federal government in construction projects.
