Green, Director Contracts Standards Operations U.S. Department of Labor Room S 3518 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20210 Subject: Dodds-Howard - Joint Venture - Prime Contractor Denver, Colorado Roberts Interiors - Subcontractor Denver, Colorado Green Acres Turf Farm - Subcontractor Henderson, Colorado Contract No. GS-08B-07999 Your File No. COL-77-693 Dear Mr. Green: By letter dated April 5, 1982, you requested that we distribute funds to wage claimants, that were withheld from monies due these firms from contract payments for violations of the Davis-Bacon Act 40 U.S.C. §§ 276a to 276a-5 (1982). On the issue of possible debarment you concluded that the Department of Labor (DOL), does not consider further adminis- trative action necessary. Briefly, the facts are that the above-listed employers failed to pay the applicable prevailing wage rate. When advised of the violations, none of the firms agreed to pay back wages, thus, precipitating the withholding of wages from contract money due. Debarment is not recommended by the contracting agency or DOL. The reason indicated was the fact that the violations occurred more than 5 years prior to completion of the investi- gation and transfer of wage payments here. We concur with your recommendation that further administrative action not be pursued. /A?5? /r5- ZA , Q-k _-)
