AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 29 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO PUBLIC WORKS CONTRACTING.

This Act requires that bidders for public works contracts that are above a minimum value and required to provide the prevailing wage include approved craft training programs for journeyman and apprentice levels if the contract is not for a federal highway project. This Substitute Act differs from Senate Bill No. 48 as follows: 1. Creates a definition of "craft training". 2. Eliminates requirements that conflict with the prevailing wage requirements. 3. Increases the number of total employees that require a contractor or subcontractor to provide craft training, from 6 to 10. 4. Requires the craft training requirement to be in the final contract. 5. Requires the suspension of a contractor or subcontractor who fails to comply with the craft training requirement and prohibits a contractor or subcontractor who fails to comply with the craft training requirement from bidding on a public works project for 5 years. This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.
