    Description: The Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 3141, et seq.) provides 
that every contract in excess of $2,000 to which the United States or 
the District of Columbia is a party for construction, alteration, and/
or repair which requires or involves the employment of mechanics and/or 
laborers shall contain a provision stating the minimum wages to be paid 
various classes of laborers and mechanics which shall be based upon the 
wages that will be determined by the Secretary of Labor to be 
prevailing for the corresponding classes of laborers and mechanics 
employed on projects of a character similar to the contract work in the 
city, town, village or other civil subdivision of the State in which 
the work is to be performed. Further, Section 1.3 of Regulations 29 CFR 
part 1 provides that the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, 
through a delegation of authority, is responsible for making these wage 
determinations. Accordingly, Form WD-10 is used by the U.S. Department 
of Labor to elicit construction project data from contractor 
associations, contractors and unions. The wage data is used to 
determine locally prevailing wages under the Davis-Bacon and Related 
Acts.

Departmental Clearance Officer.
