This DIR determination indicates that snow removal is considered a public works project that is subject to prevailing wage requirements. Additional information on prevailing wage is provided in section 6 below.

5. PREVAILING WAGE REQUIREMENTS

The Department of Industrial Relations’ determination on Public Works Case No. 2016-015, dated January 31, 2017, indicates that snow removal conducted for public agencies is considered a public works project that is subject to prevailing wage requirements. The most recent version of California’s prevailing wage laws can be found on DIR’s website at http://www.dir.ca.gov/public-works/CaliforniaPrevailingWageLaws.pdf.

Public Works contractors must fulfill four key responsibilities:

1. Register as a public works contractor

2. Pay prevailing wages

3. Follow apprenticeship requirements

4. Maintain and submit certified payroll records

These responsibilities are described in further detail below. More information can also be found on DIR’s website at https://www.dir.ca.gov/Public-Works/Contractors.html.

5.1 Contractor Registration: The contractor listed on the proposal must be registered with the

Department of Industrial Relations prior to bidding on the project 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 works unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5. Registration details can be found on DIR’s website at https://www.dir.ca.gov/Public-Works/Contractor-Registration.html . In order to be eligible for registration, the contractor must have workers' compensation coverage for any employees and only use subcontractors who are registered public works contractors.

have Contractors State License Board license if applicable to trade.

not have any delinquent unpaid wage or penalty assessments owed to any employee or enforcement agency.

not be under federal or state debarment.

not be in prior violation of this registration requirement once it becomes effective.

However, for the first violation in a 12-month period, a contractor may still qualify for registration by paying an additional penalty.

5.2 Prevailing Wage Rates: All workers employed on public works projects, including snow removal contracts, must be paid the prevailing wage determined by the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations, according to the type of work and location of project.

Detailed prevailing wage rates, including apprentice prevailing wage rates, can be found on DIR’s website at https://www.dir.ca.gov/OPRL/DPreWage Determination.html. Prevailing wages applicable to this contract are in the Group 3 classification under Teamster (DIR Determination NC-23-261-1-2017-2 and NC-23-261-1-2017-2A)

5.3 Apprenticeship Requirements: All public works contracts valued at $30,000 or more carry an obligation to hire apprentices, unless the craft or trade does not require the use of apprentices, as indicated in the corresponding prevailing wage determination. This duty applies to all contractors and subcontractors on a project, even if their part of the project is less than $30,000.

The Division of Apprenticeship Standards (DAS) provides assistance to contractors who need to employ apprentices on public works projects and may grant exemptions to the requirement to hire apprentices.

Contractor responsibilities related to apprentices are detailed on DIR’s website at https://www.dir.ca.gov/Public-Works/Apprentices.html.

Any contractor or subcontractor entered into as a result of this contract, if for more than $25,000 for public works construction or more than $15,000 for the alteration, demolition, repair, or maintenance of public works, shall contain all of the provisions of this Article, unless the awarding agency has an approved labor compliance program by the Director of Industrial Relations.

Projects subject to the prevailing wage requirements are also subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations.

The County will require a DIR contractor registration number for all contracts at or above $15,000. As a public works contract, this snow removal contract is subject to prevailing wage and labor law compliance regardless of contract amount.
