required by Texas Government Code Chapter 2258 to determine the prevailingrate of per diem wages for each craft or type of worker within the geographic limits of the City forconstruction of public works.  \nThe City of EI Paso's current wage scale that is used on all building projects was approved by CityCouncil on June 3,2008.  \nIn 2012,the County of EI Paso proposed a cooperative effort to complete a survey to update thewages for the use of governmental agencies within the County of EI Paso.On May 8,2012 the Cityof EI Paso passed a resolution authorizing an Interlocal Agreement with the County allowing the Cityto participate in conducting a survey of the general prevailing rate of per diem wages in the City of EIPaso.  \nThe County invited several governmental entities,to include the City of EI Paso,Clint ISD,SocorroISD,Ysleta ISD,EI Paso ISD,and the County Hospital District.Some representatives from theAssociated General Contractors,the Building Trades Association,the Electrical Workers,and thePlumbers'Union also participated.  \nThe County Attorney's Office hosted all meetings,did all mailings and reproduction at their expense,and provided database support for the data analysis asks.They also coordinated some publicservice media spots to encourage participation.Cygne Nemir,the Executive Division Chief of theCounty Attorney's Office and Omar Villa Assistant County Attorney managed the entire process.  \nThe survey process consisted of designing two survey forms,one for building trades and another forheavy/highway trades.The contractors were asked to submit the project peak week payroll for theirvarious trades during the calendar year 2011.Approximately 700 surveys were mailed tocontractors,sub-contractors,and unions.Seventy two entities returned surveys consisting ofapproximately 175 projects.The committee validated the completeness and authenticity of eachsurvey and the data was entered into a database.The database was used to calculate the mean,median and mode of each classification's submitted wage rates.The data was divided so that onlythe wage surveys from construction projects within the applicable jurisdiction were used.Onlyconstruction projects within the City limits were used to compute the proposed City prevailing wagerate.  \nThe results of the survey have been compiled and it is recommended that Council approve theprevailing wage rates and the associated definitions of the various job classifications.The wage rates  \nand the definitions willbe used to ensure that contractors working on City projects pay their workersin accordance with the approved prevailing wage rates.The Engineering and ConstructionManagement,CIP Project Compliance has the responsibility to check worker payrolls and interviewworkers to ensure correct wage rates are being paid by contractors working on City projects.If thereis a discrepancy and a worker is not paid correctly,the CIP Project Compliance Office willensure thatany required pay restitutions are completed before the final project payment is made to thecontractor.  \nThe County Commissioners approved the County wages rates on November 19,2012 based on thissurvey's data.  \n## PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION:\n\nJune 3,2008-Adoption of current pr","cbCaikg8nxaqHBFO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikg8nxaqHBFO","pdf",1925282,36,"English","# Subject\n#
