of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any
costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe
benefits under a plan or program, Provided, That the
Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of
the contractor, that the applicable standards of the Davis-
Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may
require the contractor to set aside in a separate account
assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or
program. (Approved by the Office of Management and
Budget under OMB Control Number 1215-0140.)
2. Withholding. HUD or its designee shali upon its own
action or upon written request of an authorized
representative of the Department of Labor withhold or
cause to be withheld from the contractor under this
contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime
contractor, or any other Federally-assisted contract
subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements,
which is held by the same prime contractor so much of the
accrued payments or advances as may be considered
necessary to pay ftaborers and mechanics, including
apprentices, trainees and helpers, employed by the
contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages
required by the contract In the event of failure to pay any
laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee or
helper, employed or working on the site of the work, all or
part of the wages required by the contract, HUD or its
designee may, after written notice to the contractor,
sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be
necessary to cause the suspension of any further
payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such
violations have ceased. HUD or its designee may, after
written notice to the contractor, disburse such amounts
withheld for and on account of the contractor or
subcontractor to the respective employees to whom they
are due. The Comptrolier General shall make such
disbursements in the case of direct Davis-Bacon Act
contracts.
3. (i) Payrolls and basic records. Payrolls and basic
records relating thereto shall be maintained by the
contractor during the course of the work preserved for a
period of three years thereafter for all faborers and
mechanics working at the site of the work. Such records
shall contain the name, address, and social security
number of each such worker, his or her correct
classification, hourly rates of wages paid (including rates
of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe
benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described
in Section I(b){2)(B) of the Davis-bacon Act}, daily and
weekly number of hours worked, deductions made and
actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has
found under 29 CFR 5.5 (a)(1){iv) that the wages of any
laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs
reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan
or program described in Section !(b}(2)(B) of the Davis-
Bacon Act, the contractor shall maintain records which
show that the commitment to provide such benefits is
enforceable, that the plan or program is financially
responsible, and that the plan or program has been
communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics
affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or
the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits.
Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under
approved programs shall maintain written evidence of the
registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of
trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and
trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the
applicable programs. (Approved by the Office of
Management and Budget under OMB Control Numbers
1215-0140 and 1215-0047.)
(it) (a) The contractor shall submit weekly for each week
in which any contract work is performed a copy of all
payrolls to HUD or its designee if the agency is a party to
the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the
contractor will submit the payrolls to the applicant
sponsor, or owner, as the case may be, for transmission to
HUD or its designee. The payrolls submitted shall set out
accurately and completely all of the information required
to be maintained under 29 CFR 5.5{a)(3)(i) except that full
social security numbers and home addresses shall not be
included on weekly transmitials. Instead the payrolls shall
only need to include an individually identifying number for
each employee (e.g., the last four digits of the employee’s
social security number). The required weekly payroll
information may be submitted in any form desired.
Optional Form WH-347 is available for this purpose from
the Wage and Hour Division Web site” at
hitp://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/forms/wh347instr.hitm or its
successor site. The prime contractor is responsible for
the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors.
Contractors and subcontractors shall maintain the full
social security number and current address of each
covered worker, and shall provide them upon request to
HUD or its designee if the agency is a party to the
contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the
contractor will submit the payralls to the applicant
sponsor, or owner, as the case may be, for transmission to
HUD or its designee, the contractor, or the Wage and Hour
Division of the Department of Labor for purposes of an
investigation or audit of compliance with prevailing wage
requirements. It is not a violation of this subparagraph for
a prime contractor to require a subcontractor to provide
addresses and social security numbers to the prime
contractor for its own records, without weekly submission
to HUD or its designee. (Approved by the Office of
Management and Budget under OMB Control Number
1215-0149.)
{b} Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a
“Statement of Compliance,” signed by the contractor or
subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises
the payment of the persons employed under the contract
and shall certify the following:
(1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the
information required to be provided under 29 CFR 5.5
(a)(3)(ii}, the appropriate information is being maintained
under 29 CFR 5.5(a){3)}{i), and that such information is
correct and complete;
