which of the following single answers Under what conditions does the McNamara-O'hara service contract act apply
for service contracts worth more than 2500
when prevailing wages are not being paid
for an constract to provide services to the government
for service and construction projects over 100000
The correct answer is: for service contracts worth more than $2,500.
The answer is "for service contracts worth more than $2,500."
To arrive at this answer, let's break down each of the options and evaluate them:
Option 1: "For service contracts worth more than $2,500."
This option correctly identifies the thresholds for when the McNamara-O'Hara Service Contract Act applies. The Act generally applies to service contracts that exceed $2,500 in value.
Option 2: "When prevailing wages are not being paid."
While prevailing wages are an important consideration for the McNamara-O'Hara Service Contract Act, it is not the sole condition for the Act to apply. It is possible for prevailing wages to be paid but for the contract to still fall below the $2,500 threshold.
Option 3: "For a contract to provide services to the government."
While many service contracts provided to the government may be subject to the McNamara-O'Hara Service Contract Act, this option does not specify any threshold or additional conditions beyond simply being a contract with the government. As such, it is not a comprehensive answer.
Option 4: "For service and construction projects over $100,000."
This option represents a different Act, known as the Davis-Bacon Act, which applies specifically to federal construction projects and requires the payment of prevailing wages. While the McNamara-O'Hara Act may also apply to service contracts related to construction projects, such as custodial or maintenance services, the threshold for its application is not specified as $100,000.
Therefore, the correct single answer is "for service contracts worth more than $2,500."
The McNamara-O'Hara Service Contract Act applies under the following conditions:
1. Service contracts worth more than $2,500.
2. When prevailing wages are not being paid.
3. For a contract to provide services to the government.
4. For service and construction projects over $100,000.
So, the correct answer is "for service contracts worth more than $2,500."
