Certified Payroll Reporting (Davis-Bacon Compliance)

The contract requires the preparation and submission of certified payroll records using the FHWA-1391 form to ensure full compliance with Davis-Bacon Act wage standards for laborers and mechanics working on federally funded transportation projects in South Dakota. This obligation applies to all workers on the project located in Huron, South Dakota, and demands accurate, timely reporting of hours worked, wages paid, benefits provided, and classifications of labor to verify adherence to prevailing wage rates established by the U.S. Department of Labor. Failure to submit certified payrolls as required may result in penalties, contract suspension, or termination, making precise recordkeeping and regular submission critical to maintaining compliance and project funding continuity. This subcontract is issued under NAICS code 541211, indicating it falls within the architectural and engineering services category, and is administered by the South Dakota Department of Transportation. Although the solicitation and response deadlines are listed as the same date, July 15, 2026, the requirement is ongoing throughout the duration of project performance, not a one-time submission. Contractors must maintain up-to-date labor records, ensure all applicable payroll data is certified by a responsible officer, and align reporting with federal guidelines to avoid noncompliance. The place of performance is specifically tied to Huron, and all payroll submissions must reflect work conducted at that location under federally funded conditions governed by Davis-Bacon regulations.
