§ 18-5-61. Requirement for an express term regarding a minimum rate of wages.

Every contract executed between a contracting agent and a successful bidder as contractor, and entered into pursuant to advertisement and invitation to bid for the city project which requires or involves the employment of construction mechanics, except those subject to the jurisdiction of the City of Detroit civil service commission, and which is financed in whole or in part by the city, but excluding those projects covered by the Federal Davis-Bacon Act or the State Prevailing Wage Act (Act 166, P.A. 1965, MCLA 408.551 et seq.; MSA 17.256(1) et seq.) shall contain an express term that the rates of wages and fringe benefits to be paid to each class of mechanics by the bidder and all of his subcontractors shall be not less than the wage and fringe benefits rate prevailing in the city as established by the most recent survey of the Michigan Department of Labor for prevailing wage determination under Act 166, P.A. 1965 (Act 166, P.A. 1965), MCLA 408.551 et. seq., MSA 17.256(1) et seq.). Should a prevailing wage determination survey for the city be concluded during the life of a successful bidder's contract and/or his subcontracts covered by this ordinance, the rates of wages and fringe benefits that are the minimum to be paid each class of mechanic shall be appropriately adjusted according to this most recent survey. Any such adjustments that require an amendment to the contract shall be effective upon approval by the city council.
