SENATE BILL NO. 272

AMEND Senate Bill No. 272 by deleting lines 15 through 19 in their entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

“ (a) A contract relating to a public works project under this chapter must include a project labor agreement if all of the following apply:

(1) The public works project is for a school district.

(2) The aggregate cost of the public works project is $5 million or more.

(3) Two or more bids for the craft under the contract are from a business legally bound to a collective bargaining agreement with the Delaware Building and Construction Trades Council. ”.

SYNOPSIS

This Amendment changes when a contract relating to a public works project for a school district is required to have a project labor agreement as follows:

• Increases the minimum aggregate cost of the public works project from $1 million to $5 million.

• Instead of exempting contracts if there was only 1 bid for the craft, the requirement to have a project labor agreement only applies if 2 or more bids for the craft are from a business legally bound to a collective bargaining agreement with the Delaware Building and Construction Trades Council.
