Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an interlocal cooperation contract with the General Services Commission regarding a survey for determining prevailing wage rates and adopting the current survey of prevailing wage rates. STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: David Kautz / Steve Sheets 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. The General Services Commission has made a current survey of prevailing wage rates available. The inter -local agreement authorizes the City to use this survey in compliance with the statutes. There is no cost to the City in this agreement.
