About this file
This is a Fines and Penalties Chart document approved by the City of New Haven's Board of Aldermen for fiscal year 2024-2025, outlining enforcement provisions under the city's Livable Wage Ordinance and equal employment opportunity requirements. The document establishes monetary penalties and fines applicable to contractors and subcontractors engaged in municipal construction projects for violations including failure to conduct pre-award conferences ($3,000 or 2% of 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 greater), missing or incorrectly completed daily employee reports ($750 per violation), and violations of maximum effort requirements for achieving minority, female, and resident participation goals ($2,000 or 1% of contract amount per week of violation, whichever is greater). Penalties are assessed by the Commission on Equal Opportunities and are charged against responsible contractors and all tiers of hiring contractors up to and including the general contractor, with enhanced penalties applied for repeated violations or violations occurring at the sixth or subsequent site visit.
The penalties establish a comprehensive enforcement mechanism tied to the City of New Haven's commitment to certified wage compliance and diversified contractor participation in municipal construction projects. These fines and penalties are directly applicable to the Janitorial Services contract for the New Haven Free Public Library (ITB-197), which requires contractors to comply with the city's Livable Wage Ordinance ($21.38 per hour with employer-provided benefits), maintain extensive equal employment opportunity documentation, and adhere to weekly payroll reporting requirements. Contractors bidding on this and other municipal projects must understand these financial obligations, as non-compliance can result in substantial weekly penalties accumulating throughout the contract term, potentially exceeding the base contract value depending on violation frequency and contract size.
