SUMMARY:Davis-Bacon Labor Standards for Infrastructure Projects
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division will be presenting an interactive webinar titled\, “Davis-Bacon Labor Standards for Infrastructure Projects” on February 28 and March 1. To register\, please click here. \nMost of the construction projects funded or assisted through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) will be subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage labor standards\, and construction workers on these projects must be paid at least the locally prevailing wage and fringe benefits for the work they perform. This ensures that responsible contractors can compete for federally-funded or assisted construction contracts\, and that the workers who will build our communities\, ensure our safety\, and improve our infrastructure receive fair wages. This seminar provides an overview of how federal funding agencies\, funding recipients\, and contractors can meet their Davis-Bacon obligations on projects receiving BIL funding that is subject to the Davis-bacon labor standards.

SUMMARY:Acquisition Hour: The Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program: Certification\, Benefits and Requirements
DESCRIPTION:In Wisconsin\, a number of local government entities including Milwaukee County\, WisDOT\, MMSD\, Dane County and the City of Madison\, require participation from Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in their procurement process. Both Woman owned and Minority owned businesses can potentially qualify for this program. \nThe Unified Certification Program (UCP) allows applicants for the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program to apply only once for a DBE certification that will be honored by all recipients in the state. In Wisconsin\, a number of local government entities including Milwaukee County\, WisDOT\, MMSD\, Dane County and the City of Madison\, require participation from Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in their procurement process. Wisconsin recognizes the Unified Certification Program of the Wisconsin of Department of Transportation Office of Business Opportunity and Equity Compliance (OBOEC). If a business is DBE certified through OBOEC\, City of Madison\, County of Dane\, or County of Milwaukee\, then they can submit documentation of their DBE Certification\, complete a Substantially Equivalent Application (SEA)\, and become MBE\, WBE\, or DVB Certified with the State of Wisconsin. \nThe DBE program targets Socially and Economically Disadvantaged firms.  Under the DBE program\, woman owned businesses are considered “disadvantaged”. \nThis certification can be of significant advantage for firms working with government entities that utilize the DBE program.  For example\, the DBE program sets aside part of federal highway and transit funds with persons who qualify as disadvantaged small business operators. \nFor the current fiscal year\, the goals were calculated at 12.32% for Federal Highway\, 6.04% for Airport Construction project and 1.10% for Transit. WisDOT invests $750 million annually in federal and state dollars for highway\, airport and transit projects. These funds translate into millions of dollars in transportation-related contracts and project work for DBE firms. \nIn this webinar you will learn about: \n\nEligibility requirements\nApplication process\nWhich government entities use the DBE\nLeveraging your DBE certification\n\n  \nSpeaker: Tru Mwololo\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute (WPI) \nTo view a schedule of all upcoming webinars\, CLICK HERE. \n\n
