For all public works projects estimated in excess of $50,000 where public funds will be expended, the City of Bloomington shall require a project labor agreement unless it has been determined that a project labor agreement would not advance the City's interest of cost, efficiency, quality, safety, timeliness, skilled labor force, and labor stability and the City's policy to advance minority-owned or female-owned business, or businesses utilizing minority and female workers. The terms of any project labor agreement shall not exceed the economic standards established by the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act, as from time to time amended, nor contain any requirement of union membership of any contractor's employees or fair share payment by contractor's employees.

Project Labor agreement shall not be required for contracts for private development between the City and developers involving private business development activities (e.g., incentive agreement with developers on private development projects).
