§ 15.16.040. Monitoring committee responsibility.

Such committee shall meet on a bi-weekly basis, or as needed, end shall review and monitor all information and documentation provided by developers to establish compliance with this chapter. Upon request, all contractors shall submit weekly workforce reports listing the following: name of each employee; residential address of each employee and length of residence; craft of each employee; job category of each employee; hours worked of each employee; hourly wage of each employee and company for which each employee is employed. If through such monitoring, it is determined that one or more contractors are not complying with this chapter, the committee shall immediately direct that the affirmative action officer and/or the bidding authority to initiate procedure for enforcement. The committee shall draft and accept all forms that are necessary for compliance with this chapter.

In the event of violation of this chapter, upon three days written notice to the violator, the monitoring committee, through the city's bidding authority or affirmative action officer, may take any or all of the following actions:

A.

Assessment of a fine of three hundred dollars per day of violation, or the maximum amount allowed by law whichever is greater, against the contractor who violates this chapter. Any fine imposed which is not paid in full by the violator shall be offset by the city of Revere against any payment due to the contractor under any contract for the project;

B.

Cease-and-desist order against any contractor to stop the project;

C.

Liquidated damages payable to the city in the amount of five percent of the dollar value of the contract;

D.

Only the monitoring committee shall be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce the terms of this chapter.

The sole exception to the implementation of such enforcement procedures is the determination and approval of the monitoring committee, as defined in Section 15.16.050 of this chapter, that compliance cannot be obtained because of high local construction employment levels of Revere and Revere residents or cannot comply with the requirements set forth in Section 15.16.030 of this chapter, being unavailable, a waiver from compliance should be allowed.
