If the Mayor or his designee with respect to any proposed municipal building or other improvement project with an engineer estimate in excess of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000.00), determines that a project labor agreement will not serve the purposes set forth in this chapter or that a project labor agreement will otherwise be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare or the City's financial welfare, the Mayor or his designee shall make this recommendation to Council, which thereafter shall be acted upon by Council as hereinafter provided, prior to the preparation of bid documents for the subject project. The Mayor or his designee shall state the reasons that negotiating a project labor agreement for the project will not substantially further the purposes of this chapter, and shall contain a recommendation to Council to not negotiate a project labor agreement. Council may, on its own motion, determine whether the Mayor's or his designee's recommendation to not negotiate a project labor agreement should be adopted. If Council determines that a project labor agreement shall be a condition of the bid as required by Section 127.02, then the Mayor or his designee with the assistance of the Law Department, shall be required to forthwith negotiate a project labor agreement for the subject project. Should the parties not reach agreement on the subject project labor agreement, the City reserves the right to waive such requirement as provided in Section 127.06.
