Bidders are hereby notified that pursuant to SB854 (Stat. 2014, Chapter 28):

• No contractor or subcontractor may be listed on a bid proposal for a public works project

(submitted on or after March 1, 2015) unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5 [with limited exceptions from this requirement for bid purposes only under Labor Code section 1771.1(a)].

• No contractor or subcontractor may be awarded a contract for public work on a public works project (awarded on or after April 1, 2015) unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5.

DIVISION A - 6

• This project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations.

This contract is to be advertised pursuant to Public Contract Code 22037.

This contract is subject to the “Buy America” provisions of the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 as amended by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991.

This contract is subject to state contract nondiscrimination and compliance requirements pursuant to Government Code, Section 12990.

Pursuant to Public Contract Code Sections 7201 and 9203, the Public Works Department will retain 5 percent of the contract price until final completion and acceptance of the project.

Pursuant to Section 1773 of the Labor Code, the general prevailing wage rates in the county in which the work is to be done have been determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations. These wages are set forth in the General Prevailing Wage Rates for this project, available at the above address and available from the California Department of Industrial Relations’ Internet web site at http://www.dir.ca.gov. Future effective general prevailing wage rates which have been predetermined and are on file with the California Department of Industrial Relations are referenced but not printed in the general prevailing wage rates.

The Federal minimum wage rates for this project are predetermined by the United States Secretary of Labor. The Federal wage rates can be found at: http://www.dir.ca.gov/OPRL/DPreWageDetermination.htm. If there is a difference between the minimum wage rates predetermined by the Secretary of Labor and the prevailing wage rates determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations for similar classifications of labor, the Contractor and his subcontractors must pay not less than the higher wage. The County of Contra Costa will not accept lower State wage rates not specifically included in the Federal minimum wage determinations. This includes “helper” (or other classifications based on hours of experience) or any other classification not appearing in the Federal wage determinations. Where Federal wage determinations do not contain the State wage rate determination otherwise available for use by the Contractor and subcontractors, the Contractor and subcontractors must pay not less than the Federal minimum wage rate which most closely approximates the duties of the employees in question.

Bid rigging activities can be reported Mondays through Fridays, between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., eastern time, Telephone no. 1-800-424-9071.

All information will be treated confidentially and caller anonymity will be respected.
