(A) For projects that qualify under this subchapter, the successful bidder shall submit a certified payroll report utilizing the federal form now known as a WH-347 which must be prepared on a weekly basis and submitted to the city with its request for payment. These 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 bidder uses independent contractors to perform work on the project, such individual must be identified on the WH-347 form with the same information as is required for employees. The city may, but is under no obligation, to verify information provided by bidder. This may include interviewing employees/independent contractors and others involved in the payment of wages.
(B) Failure of the bidder and/or bidder's employees/independent contractors to fully cooperate with the city and/or the determination by the city of material errors in the bidder's documentation shall result in the bidder being held in default.
(C) The city may withhold payment due for work performed by a bidder if the bidder fails to timely submit its certified payroll reports until such time as such certified payroll reports are submitted. The city may also withhold payment due for work performed by a subcontractor if the subcontractor fails to timely submit its certified payroll reports until such time as such certified payroll reports are submitted.
(D) Although bidder's subcontractors shall not be required to initially furnish certified payroll reports, upon written request by the city, the successful bidder shall obtain from any designated subcontractor and provide to the city certified payroll reports. Such shall be provided to the city within five business days of being requested.
