Sec. 2-252. Payrolls and basic records

A copy of the prevailing hourly rate of wages shall be kept posted by the contractor at the site of the work in a prominent place where it can easily be seen and read by the workers. In the event a copy of such prevailing hourly rate of wages shall not be so posted, the contractor may be liable to the public body for liquidated damages at the rate of Ten Dollars ($10.00) per day for each day on which the rates are not posted. Each day of violation shall constitute a separate violation.

Payroll records shall be maintained in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Board. The records required to be kept shall be open to inspection by any authorized representative of the public body or the Board at any reasonable time and as often as necessary.

The contractor shall submit two (2) complete copies of payroll records and the payroll records of each of his subcontractors, in a form prescribed by regulations established by the Board, one (1) copy to be sent to the agency of the public body which authorized the public work, the other to the Board, where they will be available for inspection by the public during regular business hours. The contractor shall be responsible for the submission of all subcontractors' payroll records covering work performed directly at the work site. Each copy of the payroll records shall be accompanied by a statement signed by the contractor or the subcontractor, as the case may be, indicating that the payroll records are correct, that the wage rates contained therein are not less than those established by the Board as set forth in the contract, that the classification set forth for each workman or apprentice conforms with the work he performed, and that the contractor or the subcontractor, as the case may be, has complied with the provisions of this Division.

If the contractor is delinquent in submitting his or any of his subcontractors' payroll records which shall be submitted within fourteen (14) working days after the end of each payroll period, processing of partial payment estimates may be held in abeyance pending receipt of the payroll records. In addition, if the contractor is delinquent in submitting his or any of his subcontractors' payroll records, the contractor shall be liable to the public body for liquidated damages in the amount of Ten Dollars ($10.00) for each calendar day that the payroll records are late.
