4582.37 Pevailing wage law applies.
No port authority shall enter into any contract for construction or repair of any port authority facility and no loan agreement for the borrowing of funds for any such port authority facility undertaken by a port authority shall be executed unless laborers and mechanics employed on the facility are paid at the prevailing rates of wages of laborers and mechanics for the class of work called for by the facility, which wages shall be determined in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 4115. of the Revised Code for determination of prevailing wage rates, provided that the requirements of this section do not apply where the federal government or any of its agencies furnishes by loan or grant all or any part of the funds used in connection with the facility and prescribes predetermined minimum wages to be paid to the laborers and mechanics; and provided further that should a nonpublic user beneficiary of the facility undertake construction to be performed by its regular bargaining unit employees who are covered under a collective bargaining agreement that was in existence prior to the commitment instrument undertaking a loan or grant of funds then, in that event, the rate of pay provided under the collective bargaining agreement may be paid to such employees.
Except as provided in this section, construction on any port authority facility to which this section applies is hereby deemed to be construction of a public improvement within section 4115.03 of the Revised Code. All contractors and subcontractors working on such projects, facilities, or port authority facilities shall be subject to and comply with sections 4115.03 to 4115.16 of the Revised Code, and the director of commerce shall, and any interested party may, bring proceedings under those sections to enforce compliance. The director shall make the determination of wages as required under this section and shall designate one of the director’s employees to act as the prevailing wage coordinator under section 4115.071 of the Revised Code for any project, facility, or port authority facility for which a coordinator has not been designated by any port authority.
