In November of 2021, President Biden signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act into law.  Over the next 5 years, the federal government will be spending $944 billion on infrastructure projects.  This historic spending bill includes major investments in highways and bridges, water infrastructure, railroads, airports, the electrical grid, and other industry sectors.  Any businesses looking to win contracts or subcontracts for construction, alteration, or repair work that is funded by the Infrastructure Bill must plan to comply with the Davis Bacon Act’s stringent hourly wage, fringe benefit, and recordkeeping requirements.
