Definition
The According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment Law Guide, the Davis-Bacon Act act "requires that all contractors and subcontractors performing on federal contracts (and contractors or subcontractors performing on federally assisted contracts under the related Acts) in excess of $2,000 pay their laborers and mechanics not less than the prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits listed in the contract’s Davis-Bacon wage determination for corresponding classes of laborers and mechanics employed on similar projects in the area."[1]

Guidance
For grants and cooperative agreements, Davis-Bacon Act only applies to "Related Acts", i.e., those that specifically incorporate the requirement in the program's authorizing statue/legislation. For example, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) incorporated the requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act. See the U.S. Department of Labor's website at http://www.dol.gov/whd/programs/dbra/whatdbra.htm for more information.
