Education

The Kansas City Fair Contacting Alliance (KC FCA) is the clearing house for information about construction projects and contracting services. The information will include Prevailing Wage and Davis-Bacon requirements to help ensure projects are appropriately bid and awarded. KC FCA will inform public bodies and contracting agencies of contractors who abuse laws and take advantage of their workforce. KC FCA helps to educate workers and contractors on public works projects to make everyone aware of the appropriate wages and fringe benefits.

Trades

KC FCA researches the area to determine which contractors are bidding on projects. When projects are awarded, notices are sent to the contractor and the public body acknowledging that the KC FCA will monitor the project to ensure compliance with all local, state, and federal construction laws.

Monitoring

Construction Analysts investigate public construction projects to assist in determining violations of misclassification of workers and wage violations which are occurring. Construction Analysts will observe the number of workers on a job, the classifications in which they are working, the wages they are receiving, worker hours and overtime, and safety regulations. Violations are noted and actions are taken to report or correct the infractions.

Complaints

Complaints filed with the KC FCA may include referrals from affected workers, contractors, local agencies, or other sources. Information is evaluated and submitted to the appropriate regulatory agency. Detailed information from Construction Analysts assists agencies in investigating and prosecuting violators.
