(a) In connection with the public bidding and contract awarding process for every proposed public contract or construction project, the Mayor, or his designee, shall evaluate whether a project labor agreement will advance the City's procurement interest in cost, efficiency, and quality while promoting labor-management stability as well as compliance with applicable legal requirements governing safety and health, equal employment opportunity, labor and employment standards, and other related matters.
(b) If the Mayor, or his designee, determines that a project labor agreement will serve the goals set forth above, the Mayor, or his designee, shall negotiate a project labor agreement with the East Central Ohio Building and Construction Trades Council and its affiliated local unions, or said Council's successor.
(c) The bidding documents for each such construction project shall contain a written provision requiring the successful bidder to comply with and adhere to all of the provisions of any project labor agreement negotiated by the Mayor for the project.
(d) The City shall not thereafter enter into any contract with the successful bidder for the construction of any such City building unless the contract contains a provision requiring the successful bidder, and all of the bidder's contractors and subcontractors, to comply with and adhere to the provisions of the negotiated project labor agreement.
(e) If the Mayor, or his designee, with respect to any proposed construction project, determines that a project labor agreement will not serve the goals set forth in subsection (a) hereof, the Mayor shall submit a written report to the Clerk of Council that shall state the reasons for concluding that a project labor agreement for the project will not substantially further the purposes of this section.
