MODERATE

The bill was amended to clarify that cooperative purchasing agreements for public works must strictly adhere to New York State labor protections, including prevailing wage laws and trade separation rules. It explicitly defines 'services related to public works' to include management and inspection roles, ensuring these roles are also covered by labor standards. The amendment adds specific requirements for submitting certified payroll records for each job order and mandates that indefinite delivery contracts for public works must still comply with all applicable state procurement laws.

Scope change

The bill's scope was expanded to explicitly include construction management, contracting, inspection, and testing services under the definition of public works, ensuring these services are subject to the same labor protections as physical construction.

DEFINITION

Added a specific definition for 'services related to public works construction' to include construction management, general contracting, inspection, and testing, ensuring these roles are not exempt from labor laws.

REQUIREMENT

Mandated that political subdivisions must award contracts for public works in full compliance with prevailing wage statutes and craft or trade separation requirements.

Clarified that even when using flexible contract types without final plans at execution, public works projects must still follow all state procurement and labor laws.

ENFORCEMENT

Required contractors using indefinite delivery contracts for public works to submit certified payroll records for each specific job order to verify prevailing wage compliance.
