SUBJECT: City Council Meeting, November 10, 1994
ITEM: 10E. Consider a resolution adopting
Prevailing Wage Rates.
STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: Steve Sheets
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The purpose of this resolution is to comply with Article
5159(a) of the Texas Civil Statutes as amended by the 73rd
Legislature. This amendment relates to the payment of certain
laborers, workers, and mechanics under public contracts. The
amendment provides a procedure which cities with a population of
more than 10,000 residents must follow when a dispute arises as to
whether the proper prevailing wage has been paid.
Failure of the City to ascertain and specify in the call for
the contract the prevailing wage rate in that locality relieves the
contractor or subcontractor from liability under the act.
