Title of bill
An act to amend the labor law, in relation to informing potential contractors of responsibilities relating to hours, wages and supplements
Purpose
The purpose of this bill is to inform all potential contractors, subcontractors or other persons bidding for public work Contracts of their responsibilities under section 220 of the Labor Law.
Summary of provisions
Requires the Department of Labor to prescribe the form of a notice informing potential contractors of their responsibilities under section 220. Requires all contracting agencies to include such notice in the request for proposals for public work.
Justification
Some confusion exists among contractors, especially contractors bidding on public work projects for the first time, as to their responsibilities under 220. Questions relating to hours, supplements and apprenticeship requirements arise frequently among both seasoned and new bidders, highlighting the need for published guidelines for rules on 220. Including a notice of responsibilities with the request for proposals would prevent some of the confusion bidders face. It shall be left to the discretion of the Department of Labor the form the notice shall take.
