About this file
This is a pre-bid labor standards fact sheet issued by the City and County of San Francisco, Office of Labor Standards Enforcement, providing requirements for contractors and subcontractors bidding on public works contracts. The document outlines mandatory compliance requirements including prevailing wage payment for all crafts and classifications, certified payroll reporting through LCPtracker, maintenance of daily sign-in sheets, display of OLSE posters at jobsites, itemized pay stubs, apprenticeship program participation, and California Department of Industrial Relations registration. The City enforces compliance through random jobsite inspections and monitoring by OLSE Compliance Officers, who have access to employee time sheets, payroll records, and paychecks. The fact sheet references the associated solicitation EXT REC | CON26-0011 for exterior improvements at the Geneva Office Building, a $153,000 project requiring a California Class B contractor license. Key dates include a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting on October 1, 2025 at 2:00 pm at the Power House, questions due by October 8, 2025 at 5:00 pm, and bid submissions due October 15, 2025 at 2:30 pm via email to bridget.webster@sfgov.org, with contract duration through January 1, 2027.
The document addresses San Francisco labor laws effective July 1, 2025, including the Minimum Compensation Ordinance (MCO) requiring wages of $21.54 per hour for for-profit entities with five or more employees, with 0.04615 hours of paid time off per hour worked. The Health Care Accountability Ordinance (HCAO) applies to companies with more than 20 for-profit workers and requires either compliant health plan coverage, $7.50 per hour payment to SF General Hospital, or $7.50 per hour payment to covered employees for those working at least 20 hours weekly on City contracts. The Health Care Security Ordinance (HCSO) mandates $2.56 to $3.85 per hour spending on health care for employees averaging eight hours weekly in San Francisco. The Fair Chance Ordinance (FCO) restricts criminal background inquiries until after interviews or conditional offers. The solicitation includes a Minority/Local Business Enterprise (MLBE) set-aside designation restricting qualified bidding to certified minority and local business enterprises. Failure to comply with prevailing wage requirements results in forfeiture of back wages plus penalties of not less than $50 per day per worker and potential disqualification from City public work contracts for up to five years. OLSE provides training webinars on the second Tuesday of each month at 10:30 am for certified payroll reporting.
