STATE OF ILL1N018 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS AND BUILDINGS FRANCIS S. LORENZ, DIRECTOR DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS BUREAU OF LOCAL ROADS AND STREETS VIRDEN E. BTAFF STATE OFFICE BUILDING CHIEF HIGHWAY ENGINEER SPRINGFIELD 62706 September 3, 1963 Prevailing Wage Act Change in Procedure COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTS OF HIGHWAYS MUNICIPAL CLERKS MUNICIPAL ENGINEERS CONSULTING ENGINEERS Gentlemen: There has been a change in the procedure to be fol- lowed by the Department of Public Works and Buildings in compliance with section l0a of the Prevailing Wage Act. It will now be required that the county or municipality submit a certificate of compliance with the Prevailing Wage Act with each contract for construction, when submitted for approval, and with the first request for construction funds in connection with a day labor construction section. A copy of the form of this certificate, as approved by the Department of Labor, is attached to this letter, but supplies will not be furnished. Previously it was required that the county or munici- pality have on file with the Secretary of State a current resolution or ordinance containing the prevailing rate of wages before the De- partment of Public Works and Buildings would approve the plans, spec- ifications, and estimate for a construction project and before the advertisement for bids in those cases where plans were approved prior to the addition of section l0a to the Prevailing Wage Act. This procedure has. been set up after conference with representatives of the Department of Labor, and it has been approved by that Department. It will, in my opinion, speed up the approval of construction sections by this Department because all of the pre- liminary steps up to the Department's approval of the contract for a contract section and the payment of the first request for construc- tion funds on a day labor construction project will have been taken when the certificate is required. The certificate is simple in form and can be completed and signed by the proper officials at the time the contract cr first request for funds is signed. 3 #63-9 COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTS OF HIGHWAYS - ~2 MUNICIPAL CLERKS MUNICIPAL ENGINEERS CONSULTING ENGINEERS September 3, 1963 You must be cautioned, the submission of this certif- icate of compliance to the Department of Public Works and Buildings does not satisfy all the requirements of the law in that a resolu- tion or ordinance showing the wages to be paid must still be filed with the Secretary of State, as in the past. I would like to remind you also that this act applies to any and all construction regardless of whether it is paid for with motor fuel tax funds or any other funds and that the only exception is maintenance work as defined in the act. However, it is not neces- sary to submit a certificate for a job to this Department unless the job is one over which this Department has general supervision and approval under the Road and Bridge Laws. It is the responsibility of the county and municipal officials to determine whether or not a particular operation is construction within the meaning of the act. It is entirely possible that some work which this Department permits as "maintenance" may be considered as "construction" by the Depart- ment of Labor. Therefore, in case of doubt in any particular instance, the matter should be referred to the Department of Labor. There will be some instances where some work will be done on day labor construction projects before the certificate and request for funds are submitted. You are reminded that such work would be within the provisions of the Prevailing Wage Act and that the resolution or ordinance containing the prevailing wages, as de- termined, must be on file with the Secretary of State before the work is undertaken. For your information, section 9 of the act was amended by the last General Assembly making it necessary to file only once every 12 months with the Secretary of State rather than 6 months a,s stipulated previously. We are advised by the Department of Labor that filings which were made prior to this latest amendment are good for only 6 months from the time filed. They are not automatically ex- tended for another 6 months even though the original 6-month period ends after the new law went into effect. Subsequent filing will be good for 12 months from the date filed. Finally, I would like to caution those officials who must sign these certificates that each time a certificate is to be signed it should be definitely determined that the statements therein are true and that the resolution or ordinance containing the wage scale is actually on file with the Secretary of State and has not expired. ~3-9 COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTS OF IiIGHWAYS - #3 MUNICIPAL CLERKS N~JUTICIPAL ENGINEERS CONSUIlPING ENGINEERS September 3, 1963 Your cooperation in seeing that the certificates and resolutions or ordinances are properly filed at the proper time will help to reduce delay in getting projects underway.
