Resolution - NIGP Resolution 1004 Davis Bacon Wage Preference 1995

  • YEAR CREATED: 1995
  • ENTITY TYPE: Chapter
  • TYPE OF DOCUMENT: POL - Policies/Procedures
The document is a resolution titled "Resolution 1004 - Davis-Bacon Act Wage Preference" adopted by the Board of Directors of the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing. The resolution states that the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing is committed to the prudent expenditure of public funds. It argues that the economic conditions and wage practices prevalent during the Great Depression no longer exist and that the Davis-Bacon Act, enacted in 1931, has created a bureaucratic regulatory system that inflates construction costs. The resolution suggests that labor rate issues can be resolved at the state and local level on an exception basis. Therefore, the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing opposes the continuation of the selected occupational wage rates required by the Davis-Bacon Act. The resolution was initially adopted on February 25, 1986, and later reviewed and ratified on November 11, 1995, by the Board of Directors. The document is certified by J. E. Brinkman, CPPO, Executive Vice President, and Secretary of the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing.
