§ 34.22 CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS FOR COVERED SERVICES.
   (A)   This city shall include provisions in Chapter 38, entitled “Centralized Procurement System,” of the Code of Waterbury mandating that each contract for a covered project, as that term is defined herein, awarded pursuant to Chapter 38 include provisions addressing compliance with the provisions of this subchapter by the contractor or contractors thereunder and by any subcontractor or subcontractors performing work related to any such contract.
   (B)   Whenever provisions are included in a contract for a covered project pursuant to division (A) of this section, they shall include provisions establishing liquidated damages for the failure of any contractor or subcontractor to comply with the provisions of this subchapter on a weekly basis. The liquidated damages shall be based on an estimate of the cost the city would incur in having to provide alternative employment opportunities, or alternative economic assistance, to those residents who would have benefited by the city’s investment in the covered project if they had been hired by the contractor or subcontractor had they complied with the provisions of this subchapter.
   (C)   Whenever provisions regarding liquidated damages are included in a contract for a covered project pursuant to division (B) of this section, that contract shall, if applicable, also include provisions addressing the following matters:
      (1)   Weekly compliance reviews by the Administrator for the purpose of assessing compliance with the provisions of this subchapter, or the lack thereof;
      (2)   Requiring a separate certification of compliance by the Administrator prior to the payment of any funds by the city under any such contract;
      (3)   The weekly assessment and invoicing of liquidated damages per noncompliant contractor or subcontractor while said contract is executory;
      (4)   No portion of any invoice submitted by a contractor that is subject to liquidated damages shall be paid by the city until such time as all liquidated damages relating to that invoice have been paid to the city.
