SUBJECT: Construction Wages Report
On January 15, 2020, the City approved Ordinance No. 2020-4327 that established Section 31-
32 of the City Code, with an effective date of January 25, 2020. Section 31-32 requires contractors
to include certified payroll records with each payment application submitted to the City for all
construction contracts in excess of $1,500,000.00 awarded after the effective date. The purpose
of Section 31-32 is to provide the Administration and City Commission with the data necessary to
make wage determinations with regard to construction contracts.
Section 31-32 stipulates that the requirements for contractors to submit certified payroll records
shall be reviewed annually by the Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee (FERC).
However, since the effective date of the Ordinance, the City has only awarded, or is in the process
of awarding, the projects listed on the table below that would trigger the reporting requirements.
It is important to note that construction has not started on any of these projects and, therefore,
contractors have not yet submitted any payroll records.
Solicitation Award Date
1TB 2020-125-AY for the Construction of October 2020
Seawalls (City-wide)
1TB 2020-026-DF for North Beach Oceanside February 2021
Park Beachwalk
RFP 2020-180-ND for 72nd Street March 2021 (tentative)
Community Complex
1TB 2021-155-AY for Brittany Bay Park April 2021 (tentative)
1TB 2021-095-AY for North Beach Oceanside May 2021 (tentative)
Park
Because construction on these projects has not started and no payroll records pursuant to the
Ordinance requirements have been received, the Administration believes it is premature to refer
a discussion to the FERC at this time. Therefore, a referral to FERC for a review of the Ordinance
will deferred to its next anniversary on January 2022 to allow sufficient time for construction
activities on the referenced projects (or others subsequently awarded) and the City to collect
construction wage data.
