Attachment C - Public Works Requirements Summary

This document contains the Public Works Requirements for the Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA) Transit Signal Priority (TSP) System Upgrade Project in California. The attachment outlines mandatory contractual obligations organized into two primary sections: Public Contract Code requirements and Labor Code requirements. The Public Contract Code section addresses payment retention procedures (5% holdback from progress payments), claims procedures with specific timelines for disputes, utility relocation protocols, subcontractor approval and registration, contractor licensing, non-collusion declarations, excavation and trench safety standards, antitrust claim assignments, third-party claim procedures, record retention and audit rights (3 years post-completion), taxable possessory interest notices, California Air Resources Board (CARB) compliance requirements, and payment bond requirements (100% of bid price for contracts exceeding $25,000).

The Labor Code section mandates strict compliance with California prevailing wage laws, worker hour limitations (8 hours daily, 40 hours weekly with overtime compensation requirements), certified weekly payroll submissions to both the California Labor Commissioner and the Authority, comprehensive payroll record-keeping with public access provisions, labor non-discrimination protections, apprenticeship requirements, workers' compensation insurance certification, and procurement of all necessary permits and licenses including OSHA and lead-based paint certifications. The contractor bears sole responsibility for all subcontractor compliance, payment, and regulatory adherence, with penalties ranging from $25 per worker daily for labor code violations to $200 daily per Labor Commissioner determination for prevailing wage failures. Contractors must obtain California Department of Industrial Relations registration under Labor Code Section 1725.5 and maintain all project records for three years following completion. CARB compliance requirements include use of R99 or R100 Renewable Diesel fuel, equipment identification numbering, and a written five-minute idling limitation policy with indemnification provisions for regulatory violations.

SECTION A. PUBLIC CONTRACT CODE

1. RETENTION ON PROGRESS PAYMENTS. From each invoice/billing statement, five percent (5%) will be deducted and held in retention by the Authority, the remainder less any deductions will be paid to the Contractor as progress payments, in accordance with Public Contract Code Sections 7201 and 9203, and the Agreement.

Upon the Contractor’s request, the Authority will make payment of funds withheld from progress payments, pursuant to the requirements of California Public Contract Code Section 22300, if the

Contractor deposits in escrow with the Authority or with a bank acceptable to the Authority, securities eligible for investment under California Government Code Section 16430, bank or savings and loan certificates of deposit, interest bearing demand deposit accounts, standby letters of credit, or any other security mutually agreed to by the Contractor and the Authority, upon the following conditions:

(1) The Contractor shall bear the expenses of the Authority and the escrow agent in connection with the escrow deposit made.

(2) Securities or certificates of deposit to be placed in escrow shall be of a value at least equivalent to the amounts of retention to be paid to the Contractor pursuant to this section.

(3) The Contractor shall enter into an escrow agreement satisfactory to the Authority, which agreement shall be substantially similar to the form provided in California Public Contract Code Section 22300.

(4) The Contractor shall obtain the written consent of the surety to such agreement.

2. CLAIMS PROCEDURES. Claims arising under this Agreement are subject to two statutory claims processes, as set forth below. To the extent that the requirements of Public Contract Code Section 9204 and Public Contract Code Sections 20104–20104.6 overlap, the Contractor shall comply with both, and the more detailed or protective requirement shall govern.

All claims arising under this Agreement are subject to the provisions of Public Contract Code Section 9204. The Contractor shall submit any claim in writing to the Authority within the time periods specified by statute. The Authority shall provide a written response within forty-five (45) days of receipt of the claim. If the claim is denied in whole or in part, the Authority shall identify the portion of the claim that is disputed and the portion that is undisputed, and the Authority shall pay any undisputed portion within sixty (60) days of the written response. If the Contractor disputes the Authority's written response, or if the Authority fails to respond within the statutory period, the Contractor may demand in writing an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. The Authority shall schedule the meet-and-confer conference within thirty (30) days of receipt of such demand. Following the meet-and-confer conference, if the claim or any portion thereof remains in dispute, the Contractor may file a claim pursuant to Government Code Section 900 et seq. and Public Contract Code Section 20104 et seq.

In addition to the preceding requirements, claims up to three hundred seventy-five thousand dollars ($375,000) or less are subject to the provisions of Public Contract Code Sections 20104-20104.6.

For claims of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) or less, the Authority shall respond in writing to any written claim within forty-five (45) days of receipt of the claim, or may request, in writing, within thirty

(30) days of receipt of the claim, any additional documentation supporting the claim or relating to defenses or claims the Authority may have against the Contractor. For claims of over fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) and less than or equal to three hundred seventy-five thousand dollars ($375,000), the Authority shall respond in writing to all written claims within sixty (60) days of receipt of the claim, or may request, in writing, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the claim, any additional documentation supporting the claim or relating to defenses or claims the Authority may have against the Contractor. The Contractor shall comply with all procedural prerequisites set forth in Public Contract Code Sections 20104 through 20104.6, including but not limited to the civil action and Government Code claims filing requirements, as a condition precedent to filing any legal action arising from a dispute under this Agreement.

3. UTILITY RELOCATION. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 4215, if during the course of the Agreement, the Contractor encounters utility installations which are not shown or indicated in the Agreement plans or in the specifications or which are found in a location substantially different from that shown, and such utilities are not reasonably apparent from visual examination of the worksite, then the Contractor must promptly notify the Authority in writing.

Where necessary for the performance of the Agreement, the Authority will amend the Agreement to adjust the scope of work and the compensation to allow the Contractor to make such adjustment, rearrangement, repair, removal, alteration, or special handling of such utility, including repair of the damaged utility. At any time, if the Contractor fails to give the notice specified above and thereafter acts without instructions from the Authority, then the Contractor will be liable for any or all damage to such utilities or other work of the Agreement which arises from the Contractor’s operations subsequent to the discovery, and the Contractor will repair and make good such damage at its own cost.

4. USE OF SUBCONTRACTORS. The Contractor will not subcontract any work to be performed by it under this Agreement without the prior written approval of the Authority. The Contractor will be solely responsible for reimbursing any subcontractors and the Authority will have no obligation to them. Attention is directed to the requirements of Sections 4100 to 4113, inclusive, of the California Public Contract Code which are applicable to this Agreement. Each contractor must list the name, business address, California contractor license number and public works contractor registration number issued in accordance with Labor Code Section 1725.5 of each subcontractor to whom the Contractor proposes to subcontract a portion of the work in an amount in excess of one-half of one percent (.5%) of the Grand Total Bid Price, along with a description of the portion of the Work which will be done by each subcontractor, by executing the “List of Subcontractors” form.

5. CONTRACTOR’S LICENSE REQUIREMENTS. The Contractor and any approved subcontractors must hold such current and valid Contractor’s Licenses as required by California Law.

6. NON-COLLUSION DECLARATION. Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 7106, the Contractor must execute a Non-Collusion Declaration, in a form provided by the Authority in the Bids Forms.

In accordance with state law (Public Contract Code Section 7104), with respect to any work involving digging trenches or excavations that extend deeper than four feet, the Contractor must notify the Authority promptly in writing of any of the following conditions: (a) material that the Contractor believes may be hazardous waste, as defined in California Health and Safety Code Section 25117, that is required to be removed to a Class I, Class II or Class III disposal site in accordance with provisions of existing law; (b) subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site differing from those indicated; (c) unknown physical conditions at the site of any unusual nature, differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in the Agreement. The Contractor must notify the Authority of such conditions prior to disturbing them and must await direction from the Authority as to how to proceed.

8. TRENCH SAFETY. Excavation for any trench 5 feet or more in depth will not begin until the Contractor has received approval from the Authority of the Contractor’s detailed plan for worker protection from the hazards of caving ground during the excavation of such trench. Such plan must be submitted at least 5 days before the Contractor intends to begin excavation for the trench and must show the details of the design of shoring, bracing, sloping or other provisions to be made for worker protection during such excavation. No such plan will allow the use of shoring, sloping or a protective system less effective than that required by the Construction Safety Orders of the Division of Industrial Safety; and if such plan varies from the shoring system standards established by the Construction Safety Orders, the plan must be prepared and signed by an engineer who is registered as a Civil or Structural Engineer in the State of California. Attention is directed to the provisions of Section 6705 of the Labor Code concerning trench excavation safety plans.

9. ANTITRUST CLAIM ASSIGNMENT. In entering into an Agreement or a subcontract to supply goods, services, or materials pursuant to this Agreement, the Contractor or subcontractor offers and agrees to assign to the Authority all rights, title, and interest in and to all causes of action it may have under Section 4 of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. Sec. 15) or under the Cartwright Act (Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 16700) of Part 2 of Division 7 of the Business and Professions Code), arising from purchases of goods, services, or materials pursuant to this

Agreement or a subcontract. This assignment will be made and become effective at the time the awarding body tenders final payment to the Contractor, without further acknowledgment by the parties.

10. THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS. Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 9201, the Authority will have full authority to compromise or otherwise settle any claim relating to the Agreement at any time.

The Authority will provide for timely notification to the Contractor of the receipt of any third-party claim, relating to the Agreement. Notice will be in writing and will be provided within thirty (30) days. The Authority will be entitled to recover its reasonable costs incurred in providing the notification.

11. EXAMINATION AND AUDIT OF RECORDS. Pursuant to Government Code Section 8546.7, the Contractor must retain all project-related records for a period of 3 years after final payment on this Agreement, which will be subject to audit or inspection by the Authority or the State Auditor during this period. Separate and apart from the obligations under Section 8546.7, the Authority will have the right to audit project records at the Authority discretion under the following circumstances: (a) submission of a Public Records Act request regarding the project; (b) inability to resolve a disputed Agreement change order; or (c) submission of a construction claim.

12. NOTICE OF TAXABLE POSSESSORY INTEREST. In accordance with Revenue and Taxation Code Section 107.6, this Agreement may create a possessory interest subject to personal property taxation for which the Contractor will be responsible.

13. CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD REQUIREMENTS. The Contractor and all subcontractors are required to be in compliance with all provisions of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) engine and fleet regulations at all times, including but is not limited to:

The idling policy must inform the operator of CARB’s idling requirements.

The Contractor is solely responsible for compliance with all provisions of the CARB engine and fleet regulations for its fleet and the fleet of all subcontractors, and the payment of any fines or penalties imposed by CARB or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) resulting from the Contractor’s or subcontractor’s non-compliance. The Contractor shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend (with legal counsel chosen by the Authority at the Contractor’s expense) the Authority against any violation notices issued, or enforcement actions brought, by CARB or EPA involving the Contractor’s or subcontractor’s non-compliance.

14. PAYMENT BOND. For all Agreements over $25,000, the successful Contractor must provide a payment bond in the amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Grand Total Bid Price of the Agreement and issued by a California admitted surety.

Full compensation for furnishing the payment bond is included in the Grand Total Bid Price. The Payment Bond form is included in the Bid Forms.

SECTION B. LABOR CODE

1. LABOR COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS. In the performance of this Agreement, the Contractor’s attention is directed to the following requirements of the Labor Code.

A. Hours of Labor. Eight hours labor constitutes a legal day’s work. The Contractor shall forfeit, as penalty to the Authority, $25 for each worker employed in the performance of the Contract by the Contractor or by any subcontractor under it for each calendar day during which such worker is required or permitted to work more than eight hours in any one day and 40 hours in any one calendar week in violation of the provisions of the California Labor Code and in particular, Sections 1810 to 1815, inclusive. Work performed by employees of the Contractor in excess of eight hours per day and 40 hours during any one week shall be permitted upon compensation for all hours worked in excess of eight hours per day at not less than one-and-one-half times the basic rate of pay, as provided in Section 1815.

B. Prevailing Wages. The Contractor shall comply with California Labor Code Sections 1770 to 1780, inclusive. In accordance with Section 1775, the Contractor shall forfeit as a penalty to the Authority an amount as determined by the Labor Commissioner not to exceed $200 for each calendar day or portion thereof for each worker paid less than stipulated prevailing wage rates for such work or craft in which such worker is employed for any work done under the contract by him or by any subcontractor under it in violation of the revisions of the Labor Code and in particular, Labor Code Sections 1770 to 1780, inclusive. The amount of this forfeiture shall be determined by the Labor Commissioner and shall be based on consideration of the mistake, inadvertence, or neglect of the Contractor or subcontractor in failing to pay the correct rate of prevailing wages, or the previous record of the Contractor or subcontractor in meeting their respective prevailing wage obligations, or the willful failure by the Contractor or subcontractor to pay the correct rates of prevailing wages. A mistake, inadvertence, or neglect in failing to pay the correct rate of prevailing wages is not excusable if the Contractor or subcontractor had knowledge of the obligations under the Labor Code. In addition to said penalty and pursuant to Section 1775, the difference between such stipulated prevailing wage rates and the amount paid to each worker for each calendar day or portion thereof for which each worker was paid less than the stipulated prevailing wage rate shall be paid to each worker by the Contractor or subcontractor.

Pursuant to the provisions of Section 1773 of the Labor Code, the Authority has obtained the general prevailing rate of per diem wages and the general prevailing rate for holiday and overtime work applicable to the work to be done from the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations. Copies of the prevailing wage rates are on file at the Authority and are available for review upon request. Pursuant to §1773.2 of the Labor Code, the Contractor shall post general prevailing wage rates at a prominent place at the site of the work.

If a worker employed by a subcontractor on a Public Works project is not paid the general prevailing per diem wages by the subcontractor, the Contractor of the project is not liable for the penalties described above unless the Contractor had knowledge of that failure of the subcontractor to pay the specified prevailing rate of wages to those workers or unless the Contractor fails to comply with all of the following requirements:

(1) The Contract executed between the Contractor and the subcontractor for the performance of work on Public Works project shall include a copy of the requirements in Sections 1771, 1775, 1776, 1777.5, 1813 and 1815 of the Labor Code.

(2) The Contractor shall monitor the payment of the specified general prevailing rate of per diem wages by the subcontractor to the employees by periodic review of the certified payroll records of the subcontractor.

(3) Upon becoming aware of the subcontractor’s failure to pay the specified prevailing rate of wages to the subcontractor’s workers, the Contractor shall diligently take corrective action to halt or rectify the failure, including, but not limited to, retaining sufficient funds due the subcontractor for work performed on the Public Works project.

(4) Prior to making final payment to the subcontractor for work performed on the Public Works project, the Contractor shall obtain an affidavit signed under penalty of perjury from the subcontractor that the subcontractor has paid the specified general prevailing rate of per diem wages to the subcontractor’s employees on the Public Works project and any amounts due pursuant to Section 1813 of the Labor Code.

Pursuant to Section 1775 of the Labor Code, the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement shall notify the Contractor on a Public Works project within fifteen

(15) days of the receipt by the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement of a complaint of the failure of a subcontractor on that Public Works project to pay workers the general prevailing rate of per diem wages. If the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement determines that employees of a subcontractor were not paid the general prevailing rate of per diem wages and if the Authority did not retain sufficient money under the Contract to pay those employees the balance of wages owed under the general prevailing rate of per diem wages, the Contractor shall withhold an amount of money due the subcontractor sufficient to pay those employees the general prevailing rate of per diem wages if requested by the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement. The Contractor shall pay any money retained from and owed to a subcontractor upon receipt of notification by the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement that the wage complaint has been resolved. If notice of the resolution of the wage complaint has not been received by the Contractor within one hundred eighty (180) days of the filing of a valid notice of completion or acceptance of the Public Works project, whichever occurs later, the Contractor shall pay all monies retained from the subcontractor to the Authority.

These monies shall be retained by the Authority pending the final decision of an enforcement action.

C. Payroll Records. The Contractor and each subcontractor shall submit electronic certified payroll records to the California Labor Commissioner in the manner and format set forth in California Labor Code Section 1771.4. In addition to submitting certified payroll to the California Labor commissioner, the Contractor shall submit certified payroll to the Authority once per week.

If the requested payroll records have not been provided pursuant to paragraph (2), the requesting party shall, prior to being provided the records, reimburse the costs of preparation by the Contractor, subcontractor and the entity through which the request was made. The public shall not be given access to such records at the principal office of the Contractor.

2. COORDINATION WITH FEDERAL AND CALIFORNIA PREVAILING WAGE LAWS. When both Federal and California Prevailing Wage Laws apply to the Agreement, the Contractor and any subcontractor shall pay their workers the higher of the two prevailing wage rates.
