WASHINGTON, D. C. – The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has ruled in the District’s favor that CityCenterDC, which is a private development that was constructed on District-owned land leased to private developers, is not a “public work” and thus is not subject to the federal Davis-Bacon Act. The Court agreed with the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) that the Act’s provisions do not apply to CityCenterDC. OAG attorneys successfully argued that the federal Department of Labor overreached when it attempted to apply the Davis-Bacon Act to the project.
