P.R. Laws tit. 29, § 1124
The projects to be carried out under the programs of the Administration shall be those of social utility, in which the cost of labor is a predominant factor, and shall be of such a nature that it may result in providing employment opportunities which otherwise would not be available. No projects shall be carried out which may have the effect of producing an unfair competition among different employers of the private enterprise; which may reduce employments in the government or with private employers or which lower the cost of labor of the employer for whom the work is to be done under contract, except in those cases where part of the wages is contributed toward the creation of employment opportunities which would not arise should the employer be compelled to pay the entire cost of said wage. Neither shall there be carried out projects which have, as a result, the effect of displacing persons already employed, including partial displacement that may result from the reduction of working hours or of types of wages or other benefits of the workers. The projects carried out under the public agencies and corporations of the commonwealth government or of the municipalities shall, in no case, be a substitution of the projects normally carried out by said agencies, public corporations or municipalities, but only in addition to the latter and to the normal increase in same which may permit the economic growth of the country.
