The ultimate responsibility for complying with these guidelines
falls on the General Contractor and subcontractors participating
in a BUILD New Mexico project. If a General Contractor and Subcontractor
chooses to participate in these union projects, that General Contractor
and Subcontractor must be accountable to the program to assure
that all guidelines below are met.
| 1. |
It is the understood intent of these projects to demonstrate
to the community that our union industry can construct high quality
projects with a sense of harmony between all parties. These include
but are not limited to the Owner, Architect, General Contractor,
Subcontractors and all Unions.
|
| 2. |
To qualify as a union General Contractor, you must be signatory
to four (4) out of, the five (5) basic crafts (Carpenters, Cement
Masons, Laborers, IronWorkers, Operators), for a minimum of the
prior six (6) months.
|
| 3. |
To qualify as a union Subcontractor, you must be signatory
to your primary craft and must have been so for a minimum of the
prior 6 months and also paying at the minimum the New Mexico wage
and fringe scale for the appropriate work scale for the appropriate
work.
|
| 4. |
If a General Contractor or Subcontractor is not signatory to
a specific craft, that in no way eliminates the requirement for
using union craftsman on that scope of work.
|
| 5. |
When any General Contractor and Subcontractor of any tier perform
work on these projects, aII BUILD New Mexico guidelines are applicable
at all levels.
|
| 6. |
It is a requirement of the program that the General Contractor
provide the program with a complete list of all Subcontractors
including all Tier Subs. The Subcontractor list must identify scope
of work at time of submitting list of all tier subcontractors for
approval. No work will be performed until this list is both received
and approved by the Board of Directors of BUILD New Mexico.
|
| 7. |
In the event that General Contractors or Subcontractors of
any tier anticipate difficulty compiling with the mandatory use
of signatory contractors or other BUILD New Mexico guidelines,
written notification shall be made to the Executive Director of
BUILD New Mexico immediately.
|
| 8. |
Any challenges to the list of contractors or subcontractors
must submitted to the Executive Director of BUILD New Mexico in
writing.
|
| 9. |
The BUILD New Mexico Board of Directors will be the final authority
to approve the contractor/subcontractor list for each project after
the list has been submitted to MCA, NECA , NMSMCA and NMBCTC for
their review.
|
| 10. |
Guidelines will be reviewed and/or updated by the BNM Board
of Directors periodically.
