(1993), formerly Ill. Rev. Stat., Ch. 48, par. 39s-1 et seq.; and

Section 1. To the extent and as required by "An Act regulating wages of laborers, mechanics and other workers employed in any public works by the State, county, city or any public body or any political subdivision or by any one under contract for public works," approved June 26, 1941, as amended, the general prevailing rate of wages in this locality for laborers, mechanics and other workers engaged in the construction of public works coming under the jurisdiction of this County is hereby ascertained to be the same as the prevailing rate of wages for construction work in the Cook County area as determined by the Department of Labor of the State of Illinois as of June 2003, a copy of that determination being submitted hereto and incorporated herein by reference. As required by said Act, any and all revisions of the prevailing rate of wages by the Department of Labor of the State of Illinois shall supersede the Department's June determination and apply to any and all public works construction undertaken by the County of Cook. The Definition of any terms appearing in this Ordinance which are also used in aforesaid Act shall be the same as in said Act.
Section 2. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to apply said general prevailing rate of wages as herein ascertained to any work or employment except public works construction of this County to the extent required by the aforesaid Act.

Section 3. The Bureau of Human Resources shall publicly post or keep available for inspection by any interested party in the main office of this Bureau of Human Resources (County) this determination or any revisions of such prevailing rate of wage. A copy of this determination or of the current revised determination of prevailing rate of wages then in effect shall be attached to all contract specifications.
Section 4. The Clerk shall mail a copy of this determination to any employer, and to any association of employers and to any person or association of employees who have filed their names and addresses, requesting copies of any determination stating the particular rates and the particular class of workers whose wages will be affected by such rates.
Section 5. The Bureau of Human Resources shall promptly file a certified copy of this Ordinance with both the Secretary of State Index Division and the Department of Labor of the State of Illinois.
Section 6. The Bureau of Human Resources shall cause to be published in a newspaper of general circulation within the area a copy of this Ordinance, and such publication shall constitute notice that the determination is effective and that this is the determination of this public body.
Section 7. The Purchasing Agent of Cook County shall specify in the call for bids in any contract for public works that the general prevailing rate of wages in the locality for each craft or type of laborer or mechanic needed to execute the contract to perform such work, also the general prevailing rate for legal holiday and overtime work as ascertained by the Bureau of Human Resources, shall be paid for each craft or type of work needed to execute the contract or to perform such work. The Purchasing Agent in awarding the contract shall cause to be inserted in the contract a stipulation to the effect that not less than the prevailing rate of wages, as found by the Bureau of Human Resources, shall be paid to all laborers, workers and mechanics performing work under the contract, and the Purchasing Agent shall also require in all such contractor's bonds that the contract include such provision as will guarantee the faithful performance of such prevailing wage clause as provided by the contract.
Section 8. In the case of any underpayment of the prevailing wage, a penalty of 20% of the underpayment shall be assessed against the contractor or subcontractor; and the 20% penalty shall be payable to the Illinois Department of Labor.

An affected contractor or subcontractor may request the Department to hold a hearing on the alleged violations within ten (10) days notification of the second violation.
