About this file
This is a Fines and Penalties Chart document issued by the City of New Haven, Connecticut's Commission on Equal Opportunities (CEO) as part of the FY 2024-2025 approved budget ordinance, establishing enforcement penalties for construction contract compliance violations. The chart details multiple violation categories and corresponding financial penalties applicable to general contractors, subcontractors, and hiring entities across all tiers. Violations covered include failure to hold pre-award conferences ($3,000 per violation or 2% of construction contract amount, whichever is greater), late submission of Certified or Living Wage Weekly Payroll Reports ($1,000 per week or 1% of contract amount per week, whichever is more), missing or incorrectly filled daily employee reports ($750 per violation), and failures to meet maximum effort requirements for minority, female, and resident participation goals ($2,000 per week or 1% of contract amount per week, whichever is more). Enhanced penalties apply for repeat violations, such as $4,000 per violation when three or more subcontractors fail to participate in pre-award conferences, and escalated weekly penalties beginning in the ninth week of overdue payroll reporting.
The penalties are enforced under Connecticut General Statute Section 17-201(15) and apply uniformly to all tiers of contractors within the hiring chain, including general contractors, thereby creating shared responsibility for compliance across construction projects. These fines represent the City's mechanism for ensuring contractor adherence to prevailing wage requirements, workforce diversity objectives, and administrative documentation standards on municipal construction contracts. The penalties are charged directly against the responsible contractor's company and may accumulate over time, particularly for ongoing violations such as weekly payroll reporting deficiencies that can extend throughout an entire project work period.
