b. District Labor Advisor. The District Labor Advisor or CIRS is responsible for the administration
of all labor standards programs within the district. The CIRS advises, assists, and instructs USACE
personnel on labor standards matters during all phases of the service contract mission. Based on public
expectations, statutory obligations, regulatory requirements, and organizational demands, the CIRS are
essential to the success of the district's mission. In other words, the CIRS is responsible for "preventive
industrial relations." That is, through pro-active measures, the CIRS seeks to prevent contractor non-
compliance as well as disruption of the overall district mission. The Labor Advisor also serves as the point
of contact for any DOL-initiated investigations. The Labor Advisor will maintain a liaison with the
appropriate DOL representatives and apprise USACE personnel of the status and findings of these
investigations.
c. Contractors. The contract labor standards provisions apply to all contractors and subcontractors
regardless of their employment policies. The contractor is responsible for: procurement, supervision, and
management of all labor required for the completion of the work; compliance with Federal labor
standards applicable to his contract and regulations pertaining thereto; and subcontractors' compliance
with the contract labor standards provisions.
