3. Paragraph 11.18 is added as follows:

Board of County Commissioners Meeting · 2026-05-19 · agenda_item

This item concerns a proposed addition to contract requirements regarding compliance with the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. It mandates that contractors and subcontractors maintain detailed payroll records for all laborers and mechanics for three years after contract completion. These records must include employee names, addresses, social security numbers, wage rates, hours worked, deductions, and actual wages paid. The records will be available for inspection by authorized representatives from the Department of Homeland Security, FEMA, and the Department of Labor, who may also interview employees on site. This is a planned procedural update, not a construction project. The work involves administrative and record-keeping tasks for any contractor or subcontractor awarded future work by the Board of County Commissioners. Businesses involved in government contracting, particularly those performing public works, should be aware of these upcoming requirements. Early understanding of these compliance standards can help ensure smooth project execution.
