[Adopted 12-4-1986 by Res. No. 298-1986]
The County of Albany is vitally interested in ensuring the timely
and proper performance of all public works contracts and the promotion
of labor relations in Albany County. In order to ensure the timely
and proper performance of public works contracts and the promotion
of labor relations, a policy must be established by the County of
Albany with regard to its public works contracts.
Any person, firm, corporation, partnership or other entity (hereinafter
"contractor"), as a prerequisite to the award of any public works
contract by the County of Albany, shall agree that it will not intentionally
engage in any course of conduct or activity, or employ for the purposes
of performing the public work any subcontractors, employees, labor
or materials, which will or may result in the interruption of the
performance of the public work due to labor strife or unrest by workers
employed by the contractor or by any of the trades working in or about
the public works and/or premises where the work is being performed.
In awarding contracts for public works, the County of Albany
shall consider the ability of the contractor to undertake the work
without interruption due to labor strife or unrest.
Unless such contractor shall demonstrate to the satisfaction
of the County of Albany that it will not intentionally engage in such
conduct as aforesaid which will or may result in the interruption
of the performance of the public work, then and in that event such
public works contract shall not be awarded to such contractor.
