[Adopted 12-7-1998]
All contracts entered into between the City
of Middletown and contractors which utilize apprenticeable trades
or occupations by the contractor in the performance of the contract
shall incorporate the following provisions: The contractor shall be
affiliated with a state-certified apprenticeship program for each
apprenticeable trade or occupation represented in its work force that
is not otherwise governed by applicable state statutes and regulations.
In the event the contractor is restricted by labor contracts, the contractor may not have to comply with the provisions of § 26-12, provided that prior to commencement of performance the contractor submits its reasons for such action in writing along with supporting documents to the City. Such documents may consist of, but are not limited to, labor contracts.
The contractor shall submit such relevant documents
and other relevant information as may be requested by the City to
determine compliance with this article. If the Common Council, after
review and report by City staff and the Contract Compliance Committee,
determines that the contractor has failed to comply with this article,
it may require corrective action to be taken by the contractor to
effect compliance or may terminate the contract. If the corrective
action required is not done by the contractor, the Council may terminate
the contract. If the Council terminates the contract, such termination
shall be without any liability of the City of Middletown to the contractor,
its subcontractors or any other party.
