It is not a violation of Labor Code Section 1771.1(a) for an unregistered Contractor to submit a bid that is authorized by Business and Professions Code Section 7029.1 or by Public Contract Code Sections 10164 or 20103.5, provided the Contractor is registered to perform public work pursuant to Labor Code Section 1725.5 at the time the Contract is awarded.

The Department will not accept lower State wage rates not specifically included in the Federal minimum wage determinations. This includes “helper” (or other clas‑ sifications 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 shall pay not less than the Federal minimum wage rate, which most closely approximates the duties of the employees in question.

Anyone with knowledge of possible bid rigging, bidder collusion, or other fraudulent activities should call the U.S.

Department of Transportation (1‑800‑424‑9071) “hotline,” between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm, and report these activities.
