The Michigan Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides all persons (except persons incarcerated in correctional facilities) with access to public records of public bodies. Requests to inspect or receive public records from EGLE must be in writing and describe the requested records with enough detail to enable the department to identify and locate the requested records. Some records are exempt from disclosure under the FOIA or another statute and thus will not be provided. A fee may be charged to process your request. Please note that many records are available that do not require a formal FOIA request.

Both terms refer to the applicant/municipality that awards the construction bid contract.
The appropriate Davis-Bacon wage rate classification is identified based upon the work that the majority of loan funding will support within the contract. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has provided explanations to assist with classification in the following resources:
http://www.wdol.gov/aam/AAM130.pdf
http://www.wdol.gov/aam/AAM131.pdf
Any questions or disputes regarding the appropriate classification of a project with regard to type of construction should be referred the Wage and Hour Division for resolution prior to bid opening.
It is appropriate to incorporate two or more Davis-Bacon wage rate classifications into one construction bid contract if 1) it is over $1 million, AND 2) the work represented by each Davis-Bacon wage rate classification exceeds 20 percent of the total value of the contract.
The loan recipient must complete and submit an EGLE Davis-Bacon Act Compliance Certification form with each request for loan reimbursement when reimbursement is being requested for construction costs. Although submitted with the monthly request for loan reimbursement, the certification that the revolving fund loan project has remained in compliance with Davis-Bacon requirements must be based on a weekly review of contractor payroll records.
A. The loan recipient must review payroll submissions to confirm that its contractors' employees are paid weekly, without unauthorized payroll deductions and according to the wage determinations established in the contract.
B. The loan recipient must collect signed certifications from its contractors of Davis-Bacon and Related Acts (DBRA) compliance for all weeks during project construction.
C. The loan recipient must document that wage interviews were conducted periodically to verify that contractors and subcontractors are paying the appropriate wage rates.
D. The loan recipient must verify that contractor fringe contributions were made as planned.
E. The loan recipient must verify that contractors and subcontractors have the proper registrations/certifications for all apprentices and trainees working on the project.
F. The loan recipient must verify that the ratio of apprentices and trainees working on the project is consistent with the ratio prescribed in the U.S. Department of Labor's approved program for apprentices and trainees.
G. The loan recipient must verify that the Davis-Bacon wage poster and applicable Davis-Bacon wage rates are posted at the construction site.
Yes, the loan recipient must collect the payroll records, using DOL Form WH347 or its equivalent, for all laborers and mechanics for all weeks of project construction. These payroll records must be collected from the prime contractor for each contract and checked each week. Form WH-347 is available at: http://www.dol.gov/whd/forms/wh347instr.htm.
No, the certified payrolls must be collected weekly
The payroll certification requirements apply to any contract worth more than $2,000.
The loan recipient must document, using General Services Administration Form SF-1445 or its equivalent, that wage interviews were conducted periodically to verify that contractors and subcontractors are paying the appropriate wage rates. We recommend that at least two interviews be conducted on every revolving fund loan project which will take six or fewer months to complete. A higher frequency is recommended for projects which will take twelve or months to complete or where the loan recipient finds a pattern of errors in weekly payroll submissions. Form SF-1445 is available at: http://www.gsa.gov/portal/forms/download/115910.
Yes, DBRA requirements apply to all revolving fund loan projects. In your case, a construction management or engineering consulting firm is acting as your general contractor and is responsible for Davis-Bacon compliance for all of its subcontractors.
No, DBRA requirements apply only to revolving fund loan projects which were fully or partially funded by federal dollars. The SWQIF program is completely state funded.
Yes. All revolving fund loan projects must have the applicable Davis-Bacon wage determinations and Davis-Bacon wage posters (WH-1321) in all relevant languages posted at the construction site in a conspicuous place and protected from the weather.
