The current prevailing wage rates for building construction trades were adopted by the City Council June 19, 1979, and have not been revised since that date (shown on Attachment A). The City also has established a separate prevailing wage rate for public works projects that are related to streets, drainage, and utility construction. These rates have been revised periodically and correspond to the rates published by the Association of General Contractors (AGC); the AGC conducts an annual survey of wage rates paid for highway-heavy construction, paving, and utilities incidental to general building construction. The most current published rates are dated November 30, 1990 (shown on Attachment B). These rates are not disputed. State law requires the City to pay the general prevailing rate of per them wages for work of a similar character engaged in the construction of public works, exclusive of maintenance work. The State law requires the City to ascertain the prevailing rate of per them wages for each craft or type of worker or mechanic needed to execute public works.contracts; it is mandatory upon the contractor to whom a contract is awarded, and upon any subcontractor, to pay not less than the said specified rates in the execution of city-awarded public works contracts. The City Charter (Chapter XXVII, Section 7 and 8) also includes a requirement for a prevailing wage: Standard wages shall be paid for all classes of employment in the services for the City. Every contract for public work entered into by the City of Fort Worth shall contain the following provisions: "Contractor hereby agrees that all persons employed in the performance of this contract shall be paid standard wages." ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER FORT WORTH, TEXAS INFORMAL REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS No. 7515 �KRTI March 5 , 1991 j To the Mayor and Members of the City Council Page 2 of 4 is x Subject: CITY OF FORT WORTH PREVAILING WAGE RATES The wage rates of City employees are established on the basis of surveys of prevailing wages paid to workers performing comparable tasks in the relevant labor market. In addition to state and local statutory requirements, the City must adhere to the provisions of the federal Davis-Bacon Act on federally-funded projects. Under Davis-Bacon, the Secretary of Labor predetermines minimum wages for laborers and mechanics employed by contractors and subcontractors on federal and federally assisted projects. These wage determinations must include the following specific benefits: medical or hospital care; pensions; life, disability, sickness, and accident insurance; vacation and holiday pay; unemployment benefits; and apprenticeship or similar training programs. Employers must match these benefits for prevailing area standards, as determined by the Secretary of Labor, or pay their cash equivalent. In 1979, the City was experiencing very limited bidding competition on construction 0 contracts for three fire stations. Contractors bidding City projects were having difficulty in obtaining quotations from subcontractors, particularly on smaller projects. It was believed that the City's building wage rates were a factor in the lack of bidding competition. The prevailing rates being used prior to June 1979 were based on wages being paid by members of the North Texas Contractors Association (NCTA); NCTA rates are considered to be the "union scale." The rates adopted in 1979 were based on a combination of the City of Fort Worth salary rates and the cost of fringe benefits. At the time, it was noted that approval of the 1979 rates did not preclude contractors from paying higher rates for building trades classes. The rates approved were established as minimums. Some 'of the factors affecting the actual rates paid by contractors are competition, profit factor, and labor market conditions. -2- ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER FORT WORTH, TEXAS INFORMAL REPORT TO CITN ,;OUNCIL MEMBERS No. 515 March 5 , 1991 o hof fORTRXO o To the Mayor and Members of the City Council Page 3 of 4 A V Sr, - -Subject: CITY OF FORT WORTH PREVAILING WAGE RATES ,era There are differing views on whether or not there should be a mandated prevailing wage. However, that question is not at issue since the City Council is mandated by state and local law to establish a prevailing wage rate for the building construction crafts and trades. The City Council, in contracts with no federal funding, has broad discretion in specifying wages to be paid by contractors. The standard wage rate may be set by the City Council on whatever basis the Council deems appropriate. Union officials believe that maintaining a low prevailing wage rate results in shoddy construction and the hiring of unskilled workers. They also point out the current rate is 50 percent less than some current wages on jobs. The opposing argument is that high prevailing wage rates add unnecessary costs to projects and result in high bids on construction projects. This argument also would point out that a lower rate provides a "floor" and that actual wages are significantly higher than the published prevailing rate. Union officials also requested the City Council to require contractors to provide health insurance to their employees. Although the North Texas Contractors Association's and the Davis-Bacon rates provide a cash equivalent for benefits, union officials would prefer actual benefits be provided. Another issue which may arise is the effect of the prevailing wage rate on the employment of minority workers. There has been criticism of the Davis-Bacon Act requirements. A Wall Street Journal (June 25, 1990) article stated, "...that in practice the Labor Department uses local union wage scales as a proxy for the prevailing wage." Thus, any laborer who does not have the skills to command union scale is frozen out of those jobs. Typically, those frozen out are Black or Hispanic." Attachment C contains the results of our recent survey of prevailing wage rates as established by several different agencies. Attachment D contains the results of our recent survey of prevailing fringe benefits rates as established by these same agencies. Attachment E contains the staff's recommendation for revised prevailing wage rates based on comparable City jobs plus the cash equivalent for fringe benefits. -3- ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER FORT WORTH, TEXAS --- INFORMAL REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS No. 7515 March 5 , 1991 OJI T I,,, Page 4 of 4 To the Mayor and Members of the City Council Subject: CITY OF FORT WORTH PREVAILING WAGE RATES ,a T1 Conclusions/Recommendation: The current prevailing wage rates for building construction trades/crafts need to be updated. It is the staff's recommendation that the City Council adopt revised prevailing wage rates which are based on the City's current salary schedule for comparable City jobs plus the cash equivalent for fringe benefits. The proposed rates provide a substantial, but reasonable increase in the prevailing wage rates. This report has been compiled to give the City Council background information on the City's prevailing wage rate.

The numbers in parentheses correspond to the columns on the attached survey. (1) Fort Worth (June 1979). This is the current prevailing rate established in June 1979 by the City Council and described previously. Tarrant County also has adopted this rate as the prevailing wage rate for County public works projects. A fringe benefit factor based on City benefits, which includes retirement and group insurance, is calculated and applied to the base rate to produce the final total hourly rate; in 1979, the fringe benefit factor was calculated as 21.7%. (2) DFW Board. These rates are used by the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport Board and do not include fringe benefit costs. (3) City of Dallas. These rates are used by the City of Dallas and do not include fringe benefit costs. (4) Dallas County. These rates are used by the Dallas County and do not include fringe benefits. (5) Association of General Contractors (AGC). These rates are based on a survey of members of the Association of General Contractors. Their survey primarily addresses "highway heavy" trades and crafts, but does include rates for five (5) of the listed trades/crafts. The AGC survey does not include fringe benefits information or a cash equivalent. (6) North Texas Contractors Association (NTCA). These rates are provided by the North Texas Contractors Association and are considered to be the "union scale." The NTCA rates do provide a cash equivalent for fringe benefits and is shown on Attachment D. (7) Davis-Bacon. The rates under Davis-Bacon were based on a January 1990 survey conducted by the Department of Labor for the Fort Worth Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes Johnson, Parker and Tarrant counties. The survey does include a cash equivalent for fringe benefits, which is shown on Attachment D. "This survey indicates that union rates now prevail for bricklayers, electricians, structural ironworkers, millwrights, and sprinkler fitters. Open shop rates now prevail for the remaining classifications." (8) City of Fort Worth (Revised 1991). These rates are based on using the current City of Fort Worth pay schedule and are an update of the 1979 wage rates. A cash equivalent for fringe benefits has been computed and is shown on Attachment D. Wage data from participating governmental entities was averaged and shown under column (9). The data shown averages the data from DFW Airport Board, the City of Dallas, Dallas County, and the City of Fort Worth (Revised 1991). Wage data from participating governmental entities and the wage rates provided by the Department of Labor, NTCA, and AGC were averaged to provide the rates shown under column (10). #0111* ATTACHMENT C _10- kn N (Ij tA (D W r M 4D, O w 0, t, Lr% t, It 00 ol C) 10 v Go I,.
