§ 25-19. Effect of federal law.

(a) Agreements with federal government.

In case of any conflict between any provision of this subtitle or any minimum wage rate or any rule or regulation established or adopted by the Board of Estimates under the authority of this subtitle, and any provision of, or minimum wage rate or rule or regulation established by, contained or provided in, or contemplated by, any agreement, and any papers forming a part thereof, between the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore and the federal government, or any agency thereof, then the provision or minimum wage rate or rule or regulation of such agreement shall control.

(b) Suspension of Davis-Bacon Act.

(1) In the event that the provisions of the Federal Davis-Bacon Act are suspended as authorized by § 6 of said Act then the Board of Estimates, during the period of such suspension of the Davis-Bacon Act, may suspend the application of the provisions of this subtitle with respect to any project upon which the United States Secretary of Labor would have been required to make a prevailing wage determination under said Davis-Bacon Act.

(2) Provided that if only a portion of a particular project requires a prevailing wage determination by the United States Secretary of Labor, the Board of Estimates may suspend the application of the provisions of this subtitle with respect to that portion only or with respect to the entire particular project in its discretion.

(3) Provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect in any manner the provisions of this subtitle as they apply to non-federally funded projects.
