The Washington State Auditor's Office issued an audit finding on October 27, 2008 against the City of Everett for failure to comply with federal prevailing wage requirements. On a $1.1 million federally funded transit project, neither the City nor the engineering consultant they hired collected weekly certified payroll reports from the contractor. Under the federal Davis-Bacon Act, submission and review of payrolls is required in order for the public agency to monitor whether workers on the project are being paid federal prevailing wages. The City indicated they were unaware of the requirement for payroll submission on the project.
