8. Public Contract Claims Procedure

PUBLIC CONTRACT CODE SECTION 9204 PUBLIC WORKS CLAIMS PROCEDURE

AB 626, approved by the Governor on September 29, 2016, created a new Public Contract Code Section 9204, which specifies new procedural requirements for claims submitted by a contractor on any public works project. These new requirements contain burdens for both private contractors and public entities and are specifically made applicable to charter cities.

For this legislation, a “public works project” is defined as “the erection, construction, alteration, repair, or improvement of any public structure, building, road, or other public improvement of any kind.” This definition is not as broad as in the Prevailing Wage Law.

A “claim” is defined as “a separate demand by a contractor sent by registered mail or certified mail with return receipt requested…” and is limited to three types of contract disputes:

1. “A time extension…for relief from damages or penalties for delay assessed by a public entity….”

2. “Payment by the public entity of money or damages arising from work done by, or on behalf of, the contractor pursuant to the contract for a public works project and payment for which is not otherwise expressly provided or to which the claimant is not otherwise entitled”, and/or

3. “Payment of an amount that is disputed by the public entity.”

Upon receipt of a claim, a public entity must "conduct a reasonable review" and provide a written statement to the contractor within 45 days of receipt of the claim. Failure of a public entity to respond to a claim within the time periods described in Section 9204 "shall result in the claim being deemed rejected in its entirety."

For any undisputed portion of a claim, a public entity must make payment within 60 days of the public entity's issuance of the written statement.

If the contractor disputes the public entity's written statement, or if the public entity fails to respond, the contractor may demand "an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute." The public entity must schedule the meet and confer conference within 30 days of the demand.

Within 10 business days following the meet and confer conference, the public entity must provide a written statement identifying the portion of the claim that remains in dispute.

Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim must be made within 60 days of the meet and confer conference. Amounts not paid in a timely manner shall bear interest at 7 percent per year.

After the meet and confer conference, any disputed portion of the claim "shall be submitted to non-binding mediation." If mediation fails to resolve the dispute, the parts of the claim that remain in dispute shall be subject to applicable procedures outside Section 9204 (statutory and contractual).

The full text of this new legislation is set forth below:
