§ 2-250. Reconsideration of wage rate determination.

(a)

Any employer or group of employers engaged in public works construction, any labor organization which is the representative of any classification of workmen, or any agency of the public body which authorizes public work within ten (10) days after notice of the determination of any prevailing wage rate or rates pursuant to Section 2-249(a) hereof, may file with the Board a verified petition, which sets forth the facts upon which it is based, to reconsider the determination of such prevailing wage rate or rates. The Board, upon notice to the petitioner, those agencies of the public body which authorize public work, and the recognized collective bargaining representatives for the particular classifications involved, and also to all persons entitled to receive notice pursuant to Section 2-249(a) hereof, shall institute an investigation and hold a public hearing within twenty (20) days after the filing of such petition. The Board, at its discretion, may hear each petition separately or consolidate for hearing any two (2) or more petitions. At the hearing, the Board shall introduce in evidence the investigation it instituted and the other facts which were considered at the time of the original determination which formed the basis for its determination. The Board or any interested parties thereafter may introduce any evidence that is material to the issues. Within ten (10) days of the conclusion of the hearing, the Board shall make a determination and transmit it, in writing, to the agencies of the public body which authorize public work and to the interested parties. Such determination shall be final.

(b)

Upon receipt by any agency of the public body which authorizes public work of the notice of the filing of a petition, such agency shall extend the closing date for the submission of bids on any pending contract until five (5) days after the determination of the prevailing wage rates pursuant to this Section and the publication of such findings.
