Frequently Asked Questions

SRL manages contract compliance and business participation programs on public construction and infrastructure projects. That includes small, certified, and local business program administration, certified payroll review, prevailing wage compliance, workforce reporting, workforce development, and On-the-Job Training (OJT) Program support.

Both. Agencies hire us to administer and monitor their programs. Contractors and developers hire us to stay compliant and audit-ready. Our team has worked both sides of the table, which means we know what reviewers look for before they ask.

Federal, state, and local contracting requirements, including 49 CFR Part 26, Davis-Bacon and Related Acts, FHWA and FTA reporting, and small business, veteran-owned, and local business participation programs across multiple jurisdictions. Our team has administered these requirements on over $28 billion in contract value across 18 states.

The earlier, the better. We support projects from pre-bid through closeout, but the systems that keep a project clean are built at startup, not fixed at audit.

Yes. We assess where things stand, close documentation gaps, and put a corrective process in place so the project can move forward on solid footing.

It verifies that a certified/participating firm is actually performing, managing, and supervising the work it's being credited for on a specific project. We conduct on-site CUF reviews, document findings, and flag pass-through arrangements before they become audit findings. When findings do occur, we develop and implement a Corrective Action Plan to resolve them.

Yes. We audit payrolls against the applicable wage decisions, track delinquencies, conduct on-site wage interviews, and manage findings through restitution and resolution.

Yes. We manage OJT program implementation, trainee tracking and reporting, local hiring commitments, and coordination with contractors and training partners.

Yes. We handle outreach, public information, and stakeholder coordination on projects where construction impact and community participation need to be managed well.

Commit, document, track, and reconcile. Executed subcontracts with certified firms, accurate monthly participation reporting, and proof of payment that matches what you report. We set up that system and run it so the numbers reconcile the first time.

On prevailing wage projects, every contractor and subcontractor with covered workers submits weekly certified payrolls. We review yours before the agency does, catch classification and rate errors early, and keep you off the delinquency list.

Yes. We organize the payment records, payrolls, participation data, and compliance files agencies pull during monitoring, closeout, and audits, so nothing gets rebuilt under deadline pressure.

It depends on the engagement. Some contracts are lump sum for a defined scope of work, others are hourly or billed monthly, and some are structured as not-to-exceed agreements. We work within the client's pay structure, so contact us and we'll walk through what your project actually needs.
