(A) For projects in which the cost is at least $150,000, the successful bidder and all subcontractors working on a public works project shall submit a certified payroll report utilizing federal form WH-347 or its successor form, which must be prepared on a weekly basis and submitted to the city upon its request but no later than the date of substantial completion. The city may request the certified payroll within 10 calendar days after the end of each week in which the successful bidder or subcontractor performed on the public works project. Certified payroll reports shall identify the job title and craft of each employee on the project, e.g. journeyman, electrician, or apprentice electrician. In the event any successful bidder or subcontractor uses independent contractors to perform work on the project, such individual must be identified on the federal form WH-347 or successor form with the same information as is required for employees.
(B) The city may withhold payment due for work performed by a successful bidder or subcontractor for failure to timely submit their respective certified payroll reports until such time as the reports are submitted. The city shall not withhold payment to a successful bidder or subcontractor for failure of the successful bidder or one or more other subcontractors to timely submit their certified payroll reports.
