NSPS to Testify Before Congress on Davis-Bacon Act

NSPS Executive Director Curt Sumner, PLS, has been invited to testify before the Committee on Education and the Workforce, Subcommittee on Workforce Protections, at a hearing entitled, “Promoting the Accuracy and Accountability of the Bacon-Davis Act,” to be held at 10:00 AM EST on Tuesday, June 18, 2013. Sumner will discuss NSPS concerns with the Department of Labor’s recent ruling that expanded the Davis Bacon Act, and its prevailing wage requirements, to certain services by members of survey crews on federally financed construction projects. Meanwhile, support for the NSPS position is growing. More than 10 taxpayer and pro-business organizations have joined together in a letter to the Secretary of Labor opposing the Davis-Bacon expansion affecting surveying contracts.
