Reduces threshold cost, from $5 million to $3 million, of public works projects which may include project labor agreements.
S 3211 lowers the cost threshold for public works projects that may include project labor agreements from $5 million to $3 million. This means projects costing $3 million or more - instead of $5 million - will now be eligible for project labor agreements, which are pre-hire contracts between contractors and labor groups setting wages and working conditions for a specific project. The bill affects public entities like state agencies, counties, and municipalities planning construction projects that require prevailing wages under New Jersey law. It amends existing public works law to expand the range of projects subject to this provision, taking effect immediately.
