Does the Davis-Bacon Act, or the Contract Work Hours & Safety Standards Act apply to a procurement for the overhauling of busses?
A. The Davis-Bacon Act is applicable only to construction contracts and would not apply to a contract for the overhaul of buses. The Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act would apply to your contract. You can obtain guidance on the use of a contract clause from the Best Practices Procurement Manual (BPPM), Appendix A, Clause #17. See those portions that would apply to non-construction contracts.
