Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
Numerous states follow the federal Davis-Bacon regulations for their construction projects. Other states have used the federal Davis-Bacon Act to develop their own set of rules. Usually the state act is called the Little Davis-Bacon Act. How closely the state rules follow the Federal requirements vary from state-to-state.
Alaska is a Davis-Bacon State.
The Alaska Little Davis-Bacon Act is an act which affects prime contractors and subcontractors who work on state or political subdivision construction contracts which exceed $2000. This law protects construction workers such as carpenters, plumbers, power equipment operators, laborers, etc. Covered workers must receive at least prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for similar work in the same locality. Prevailing rates and fringes are determined by the Alaska Department of Labor and must be stated in the advertised specifications and contract award.
