About this file

This is a Board of Aldermen (BOA) approved budget document outlining fines and penalties for compliance violations under the Commission on Equal Opportunities for the City of New Haven during fiscal year 2024-2025. The document establishes enforcement mechanisms for construction-related contracts under Ordinance No. 17-201 (15). Penalties are assessed for violations including failure to attend pre-award conferences ($3,000 or 2% of contract amount, whichever is greater), late certified or living wage weekly payroll reports ($1,000 per week or 1% of contract amount per week, whichever is greater), missing or incorrectly filled daily reports ($750 per violation), and violations of maximum effort requirements to reach minority, female, and resident participation goals ($2,000 or 1% of contract amount per week of violation, whichever is greater). Additional penalties apply when violations are repeated, such as when a contractor receives a sixth site visit citation for missing daily reports or when three or more subcontractors fail to meet for pre-award conferences ($4,000 per violation per subcontractor).

These penalty provisions are directly applicable to construction contracts awarded by the City of New Haven, including the Playground Inspections and Repairs on-call contract for New Haven Public Schools, where contractors must comply with living wage requirements and diversity participation goals. Penalties may be assessed against subcontractors, general contractors, and all tiers of hiring contractors, ensuring accountability throughout the construction supply chain. The City retains broad enforcement authority to charge fines weekly for ongoing violations, with cumulative penalties potentially reaching significant amounts over extended project periods.
