About this file
This is a Fines and Penalties Chart approved by the City of New Haven, Connecticut's Board of Aldermen for Fiscal Year 2024-2025, establishing enforcement penalties for construction project compliance violations. The chart outlines monetary sanctions applicable to contractors and subcontractors working on city construction projects exceeding $500,000, including the Quinnipiac River Park Improvements project. Penalties are assessed for violations including failure to attend pre-award conferences ($3,000 or 2% of contract value), late submission of certified or living wage payroll reports ($1,000 per week or 1% of contract value per week), incomplete daily employee reports ($750 per violation), and failure to meet diversity participation goals ($2,000 or 1% of contract value per week for violations related to minority, female, or resident participation targets).
The City of New Haven enforces these penalties through the Commission on Equal Opportunities to ensure contractor compliance with prevailing wage, workforce diversity, and apprenticeship requirements. Penalties escalate for repeated violations, with higher sanctions applied to general contractors and all tiers of hiring contractors when subcontractors fail to comply. These fines represent the city's enforcement mechanisms to maintain compliance with local ordinances, particularly Connecticut General Statutes Section 17-201(15), and directly apply to bidders responding to solicitations such as the Quinnipiac River Park Improvements project. The penalty structure ensures accountability across all contractor tiers and is designed to incentivize timely reporting, adequate workforce diversity efforts, and adherence to established city standards throughout the contract performance period.
