A Connecticut labor-pay watchdog accuses a pair of contractors on the Bolton Lakes sewer project of failing to certify they are paying workers state-mandated prevailing wages on the $22 million project.
The Labor Management Foundation For Fair Contracting Of Connecticut says it is demanding the state Labor Department investigate Manchester engineering-design firm Fuss & O’Neill and construction contractor Simscroft-Echo Farms of Simsbury.
The watchdog claims both firms since September have resisted its repeated requests to turn over wage records for the project.
The organization said its requests stem from a Sept. 21 accident at the project site on Route 44 in Bolton in which a construction worker was injured when a Bobcat backed over him.
Officials for Fuss & O’Neill and Simscroft-Echo Farms could not be immediately reached Friday for comment.
The state Labor Department and the Bolton Lakes Regional Water Pollution Control Authority could not be reached for comment.
