NSPS lobbyist John "JB" Byrd
recently met with Representative Paul
Gosar (R-AZ). Representing Arizona's 4th Congressional District, Rep. Gosar
serves on the House Committees on Natural Resources and Oversight, and
Government Reform. These panels oversee Federal lands, the Interior Department,
NOAA, and the Forest Service, as well as Federal procurement.
Rep. Gosar (R-AZ) introduced
H.R. 924, the "Responsibility
in Federal Contracting Act", to require
the calculation of wages for public works projects, such as those under the
Davis-Bacon Act, be based on actual statistics calculated by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics (BLS). The bill also allows savings to be used on additional
worthwhile infrastructure projects around the country. Research
conducted by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that
upwards of $13 billion could be wasted over 10 years if Davis-Bacon is left
unreformed.
