This is a prevailing wage project and is subject to the requirements of projects which use public funds within the State of California and the County of Riverside. Contracts for public works projects in excess of $1,000 must comply with the California Labor Code including, but not limited to 1) prime and subcontractors must register with the California Department of Industrial Relations; 2) payment of prevailing wages; and,

3) submission of certified payrolls; see www.dir.ca.gov for more information. (Labor Code § 1725.5(d)(1)).

WAGE DETERMINATION CALIFORNIA:

https://www.dir.ca.gov/OPRL/DPreWageDetermination.htm http://www.dir.ca.gov/ https://www.dir.ca.gov/OPRL/DPreWageDetermination.htm

Bidders are solely responsible for being self-informed regarding the requirements of prevailing wages within the State of California and the County of Riverside.

The following applies where payment of prevailing wages is required under the Labor Code:

o The project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. (Labor Code § 1771.4(a)(1)).

o The prime contractor is required to post job site notices, as prescribed by regulation (Labor Code § 1771.4(a)(2)).

o In accordance with the provisions of Section 3700, every contractor will be required to secure the payment of compensation to his or her employees. (Labor Code § 1860).

o A contractor must be registered with the DIR in order to be qualified to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, subject to the requirements of Section 4104 of the Public Contract Code or engage in the performance of any public work contract. (Labor Code § 1725.5).

o Pursuant to Labor Code § 1771.1(a)): A contractor or subcontractor shall not be qualified to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, subject to the requirements of Section 4104 of the Public Contract Code, or engage in the performance of any contract for public work, as defined in this chapter, unless currently registered and qualified to perform public work pursuant to Section1725.5. It is not a violation of this section for an unregistered contractor to submit a bid that is authorized by Section 7029.1 of the Business and Professions Code or by Section 10164 or 20103.5 of the Public Contract Code, provided the contractor is registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 at the time the contract is awarded.

o Pursuant to SB 96, the Public Contract Code § 4104 was amended to require a person who makes a bid or offer on a public works project to include in the bid or offer: the name, the location of the place of business, the California contractor license number, and public works contractor registration number issued pursuant to Section 1725.5 of the Labor Code of each subcontractor who will perform work or labor or render service to the prime contractor in or about the construction of the work or improvement, or a subcontractor licensed by the State of California who, under subcontract to the prime contractor, specially fabricates and installs a portion of the work or improvement according to detailed drawings contained in the plans and specifications, in an amount in excess of one-half of I percent of the prime contractor's total bid or, in the case of bids or offers for the construction of streets or highways, including bridges, in excess of one-half of 1 percent of the prime contractor's total bid or ten thousand dollars ($10,000), whichever is greater.

o In addition, SB 96 provides that an inadvertent error in listing either the California contractor license number or the public works contractor registration number identified above shall not be grounds for filing a bid protest or for considering a bid nonresponsive so long as the corrected contractor's license number is submitted to the agency by the prime contractor within 24 hours after bid opening, and provided that the corrected number corresponds to the submitted name and location for that subcontractor. (Public Contract Code §4104(a)(2)).

o The successful contractor shall be responsible for complying with all applicable requirements including, but not limited to, § 1774, 1775, 1776, 1777.5 and 1813. See Attachment B California Prevailing Wage Law Required Clauses in Section V ‘Terms and Conditions’.

o In accordance with § 1773.2 of the California Labor Code: In lieu of specifying the rate of wages in the call for bids, copies of the prevailing rate of per diem wages are on file at RTA’s principal office, which shall be made available to any interested party on request.

The Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) is advising companies that use ready-mix concrete for public works projects of changes to prevailing wage laws. The changes apply to public works contracts that were advertised for bid or awarded on or after July 1, 2016. Amendments to Assembly Bill 219 became effective on July 1, 2016. The amendments made the following changes to Labor Code section 1720.9:

o A company hauling or delivering ready-mix concrete for a public works contract shall:

Register as a public works contractor.

Submit a certified copy of the payroll records required by subdivision (a) of Section 1776 to the party that engaged the company and to the general contractor within five working days after the employee has been paid, accompanied by a written time record that shall be certified by each driver for the performance of job duties.

Ready-mix concrete companies’ requirement to submit payroll online to DIR using its electronic certified payroll reporting system is temporarily on hold.

Nothing in section 1720.9 shall cause any company to be treated as a contractor or subcontractor for any purpose other than the application of this chapter of the Labor Code.

7. LOCAL BUSINESS MATCH

RTA may provide opportunity for a local match in the award of non-federally funded contracts. If a local business comes within 5% of the lowest bidder, the local vendor is given the opportunity to match the price of the lowest bidder, provided that price, quality, terms, delivery and service reputation are determined by RTA to be equal.

“Local business”, as used in this policy, means a business or commercial enterprise, consultant or contractor that meets the following requirements:

1. Have fixed offices located within the geographical boundaries of Riverside County.

2. Have at least fifty-one percent (51%) of all employees physically located in and performing business out of said local office.

3. Have a Riverside County business street address, which shall be open with established business hours.

If CONTRACTOR maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, AGENCY requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by CONTRACTOR. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to AGENCY.

If CONTRACTOR maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, AGENCY requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by CONTRACTOR. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to AGENCY.

Other Insurance Provisions The insurance policies are to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions:

Additional Insured Status AGENCY, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds on the CGL policy with respect to liability arising out of work or operations performed by or on behalf of CONTRACTOR including materials, parts or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations. General liability coverage can be provided in the form of an endorsement to CONTRACTOR’S insurance (at least as broad as ISO Form CG 20 10 11 85 or if not available, through the addition of both CG 20 10, CG 20 26, CG 20 33, or CG 20 38; and CG 20 37 if a later edition is used).

Primary Coverage For any claims related to this contract, CONTRACTOR’S insurance coverage shall be primary and non-contributory and at least as broad as ISO CG 20 01 04 13 as respects AGENCY, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by AGENCY, its officers, officials, employees, or volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by AGENCY, its officers, officials, employees, or volunteers shall be excess of CONTRACTOR’S insurance and shall not contribute with it. This requirement shall also apply to any Excess or Umbrella liability policies.

Umbrella or Excess Policy CONTRACTOR may use Umbrella or Excess Policies to provide the liability limits as required in this agreement. This form of insurance will be acceptable provided that all of the Primary and Umbrella or Excess Policies shall provide all of the insurance coverages herein required, including, but not limited to, primary and non-contributory, additional insured, Self-Insured Retentions (SIRs), indemnity, and defense requirements. The Umbrella or Excess policies shall be provided on a true “following form” or broader coverage basis, with coverage at least as broad as provided on the underlying Commercial General Liability insurance. No insurance policies maintained by the Additional Insureds, whether primary or excess, and which also apply to a loss covered hereunder, shall be called upon to contribute to a loss until CONTRACTOR’S primary and excess liability policies are exhausted.

Notice of Cancellation Each insurance policy required above shall provide that coverage and shall not be canceled, except with (30) days prior written notice, of cancellation or material change in coverage provided, to AGENCY.

Waiver of Subrogation CONTRACTOR hereby grants to AGENCY a waiver of any right to subrogation which any insurer of said CONTRACTOR may acquire against AGENCY by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance. CONTRACTOR agrees to obtain any endorsement that may be necessary to affect this waiver of subrogation, but this provision applies regardless of whether or not AGENCY has received a waiver of subrogation endorsement from the insurer.

Self-Insured Retentions Self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by AGENCY. AGENCY may require CONTRACTOR to purchase coverage with a lower retention or provide proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention. The policy language shall provide, or be endorsed to provide, that the self-insured retention may be satisfied by either the named insured or AGENCY. The CGL and any policies, including Excess liability policies, may not be subject to a self-insured retention (SIR) or deductible that exceeds $25,000 unless approved in writing by AGENCY. Any and all deductibles and SIRs shall be the sole responsibility of CONTRACTOR or subcontractor who procured such insurance and shall not apply to the Indemnified Additional Insured Parties. AGENCY may deduct from any amounts otherwise due CONTRACTOR to fund the SIR/deductible. Policies shall NOT contain any self-insured retention (SIR) provision that limits the satisfaction of the SIR to the Named. The policy must also provide that Defense costs, including the Allocated Loss Adjustment Expenses, will satisfy the SIR or deductible. AGENCY reserves the right to obtain a copy of any policies and endorsements for verification.

Acceptability of Insurers Insurance is to be placed with insurers authorized to conduct business in the State with a current A.M. Best’s rating of no less than A: VII, unless otherwise acceptable to AGENCY.

Claims Made Policies If any of the required policies provide claims-made coverage:

1. The Retroactive Date must be shown and must be before the date of the contract or the beginning of contract work.

2. Insurance must be maintained, and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least five (5) years after completion of the contract of work.

3. If coverage is canceled or non-renewed, and not replaced with another claims-made policy form with a Retroactive Date prior to the contract effective date, CONTRACTOR must purchase “extended reporting” coverage for a minimum of five (5) years after completion of the work.

Verification of Coverage CONTRACTOR shall furnish AGENCY’S Director of Contracts with original certificates and amendatory endorsements or copies of the applicable policy language effecting coverage required by this clause and a copy of the Declarations and Endorsements Pages of the CGL and any Excess policies listing all policy endorsements. All certificates and endorsements and copies of the Declarations and Endorsements pages are to be received and approved by AGENCY before work commences. However, failure to obtain the required documents prior to the work beginning shall not waive CONTRACTOR’S obligation to provide them.

AGENCY reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements required by these specifications, at any time.

Special Risks or Circumstances AGENCY reserves the right to modify these requirements, including limits, based on the nature of the risk, prior experience, insurer, coverage, or other special circumstances.

Subcontractor CONTRACTOR shall require and verify that all subcontractors maintain insurance meeting all the requirements stated herein, and CONTRACTOR shall ensure that AGENCY are additional insureds on insurance required for subcontractors.

Furnisher and Deliverables must comply with all applicable Federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and codes.

10. STATE OF CALIFORNIA PREVAILING WAGES

(Labor Code § 1725.5(d)(1)).

The following applies where payment of prevailing wages is required under the Labor Code:

• The project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. (Labor Code § 1771.4(a)(1)).

• The prime contractor is required to post job site notices, as prescribed by regulation (Labor Code § 1771.4(a)(2)).

• In accordance with the provisions of Section 3700, every contractor will be required to secure the payment of compensation to his or her employees. (Labor Code §

1860).

• A contractor must be registered with the DIR in order to be qualified to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, subject to the requirements of Section 4104 of the Public

Contract Code or engage in the performance of any public work contract. (Labor Code § 1725.5).

• Pursuant to Labor Code § 1771.1(a)): A contractor or subcontractor shall not be qualified to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, subject to the requirements of Section

4104 of the Public Contract Code, or engage in the performance of any contract for public work, as defined in this chapter, unless currently registered and qualified to perform public work pursuant to Section1725.5. It is not a violation of this section for an unregistered contractor to submit a bid that is authorized by Section 7029.1 of the Business and Professions Code or by Section 10164 or 20103.5 of the Public Contract Code, provided the contractor is registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 at the time the contract is awarded.

• Pursuant to SB 96, the Public Contract Code § 4104 was amended to require a person who makes a bid or offer on a public works project to include in the bid or offer: the name, the location of the place of business, the California contractor license number, and public works contractor registration number issued pursuant to Section 1725.5 of the Labor Code of each subcontractor who will perform work or labor or render service to the prime contractor in or about the construction of the work or improvement, or a subcontractor licensed by the State of California who, under subcontract to the prime contractor, specially fabricates and installs a portion of the work or improvement according to detailed drawings contained in the plans and specifications, in an amount in excess of one-half of I percent of the prime contractor's total bid or, in the case of bids or offers for the construction of streets or highways, including bridges, in excess of one-half of 1 percent of the prime contractor's total bid or ten thousand dollars ($10,000), whichever is greater.

• In addition, SB 96 provides that an inadvertent error in listing either the California contractor license number or the public works contractor registration number identified above shall not be grounds for filing a bid protest or for considering a bid nonresponsive so long as the corrected contractor's license number is submitted to the agency by the prime contractor within 24 hours after bid opening, and provided that the corrected number corresponds to the submitted name and location for that subcontractor. (Public Contract Code §4104(a)(2)).

• The successful contractor shall be responsible for complying with all applicable requirements including, but not limited to, § 1774, 1775, 1776, 1777.5 and 1813. See attached California Prevailing Wage Law Required Clauses.

• In accordance with § 1773.2 of the California Labor Code: In lieu of specifying the rate of wages in the call for bids, copies of the prevailing rate of per diem wages are on file at RTA’s principal office, which shall be made available to any interested party on request.

The Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) is advising companies that use ready-mix concrete for public works projects of changes to prevailing wage laws. The changes apply to public works contracts that were advertised for bid or awarded on or after July 1, 2016. Amendments to Assembly Bill 219 became effective on July 1, 2016.

• A company hauling or delivering ready-mix concrete for a public works contract shall:

• Register as a public works contractor.

• Ready-mix concrete companies’ requirement to submit payroll online to DIR using its electronic certified payroll reporting system is temporarily on hold.

Nothing in section 1720.9 shall cause any company to be treated as a contractor or subcontractor for any purpose other than the application of this chapter of the Labor Code.
