1.1.1. X[check if applicable] It is agreed by the parties to the
contract that time is of the essence and that, in case all the work is not completed
before or upon the expiration of the time limit as set forth, damage, other than
those cost items identified in section 1.1.2, will be sustained by the City and

dollars ($500.00) per day for each and every calendar day's delay beyond the time
prescribed.
1.1.2 ❑ [check if applicable] In case the work called for under this

of such extension, except that the cost of final unavoidable delays shall not
be included in such charges.

in compliance with the plans and specifications set forth in the attached Exhibit
A. If there is any inconsistency or conflict between the plans and the specifications,
S:u\agrtms06\short form construction contract

unless expressly stated otherwise in a particular specification.
1.3 Contractor furnished items. Contractor will furnish all necessary labor,
materials, tools, equipment, and transportation necessary to perform the Work.

1.4.1. Contractor shall pay all mechanics and laborers employed or
working upon the site of the work unconditionally and without subsequent deductions
or rebate on any account the full amounts due at the time of payment at wage rates

regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between
the Contractor and subcontractors and such laborers and mechanics.
1.4.2.Contractor shall comply with the California Labor Code Section
1775. In accordance with said Section 1775, Contractor shall forfeit as a penalty
to the City, $50.00 for each calendar day or portion thereof, for each workman paid
less than the stipulated prevailing rates for such work or craft in which such workman
is employed for any work done under the Contract by him or her or by any subcontractor
under him or her in violation of the provisions of the Labor Code and in particular,
Labor Code Sections 1770 to 1780, inclusive. In addition to said penalty and pursuant

The Contractor shall post the wage determination at the site of work in a prominent
place where the workers can easily see it.
1.4.4.City will not recognize any claim for additional compensation
because the Contractor has paid any rate in excess of the prevailing wage rate
obtained from the City Engineer. The possibility of wage increases is one of the
elements to be considered by the Contractor in determining his or her bid and will
not in any circumstances be considered as the basis for a claim against the City.
1.4.5.Travel and Subsistence Payments. Contractor shall make travel
and subsistence payments to each worker needed to execute the work in accordance
with the requirements in Section 1773.8 of the Labor Code (Chapter 880, Statutes

§ 1775. Forfeiture for paying less than prevailing wage rates; Amount of penalty; Payments
to workers; Liability of prime contractor; Notification of complaint
(a)
(1) The contractor and any subcontractor under the contractor shall, as a penalty to the state or
political subdivision on whose behalf the contract is made or awarded, forfeit not more than fifty
dollars ($50) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing
wage rates as determined by the director for the work or craft in which the worker is employed for
any public work done under the contract by the contractor or, except as provided in subdivision (b),
by any subcontractor under the contractor.
(2)
(A) The amount of the penalty shall be determined by the Labor Commissioner based on
consideration of both of the following:
(i) Whether the failure of the contractor or subcontractor to pay the correct rate of per diem
wages was a good faith mistake and, if so, the error was promptly and voluntarily corrected when
brought to the attention of the contractor or subcontractor.
(ii) Whether the contractor or subcontractor has a prior record of failing to meet its pre-
vailing wage obligations.
(B)
(i) The penalty may not be less than ten dollars ($10) for each calendar day, or portion the-
reof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rate, unless the failure of the contractor or
subcontractor to pay the correct rate of per diem wages was a good faith mistake and, if so, the error
was promptly and voluntarily corrected when brought to the attention of the contractor or subcon-
tractor.
(ii) The penalty may not be less than twenty dollars ($20) for each calendar day, or portion
thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rate, if the contractor or subcontractor
has been assessed penalties within the previous three years for failing to meet its prevailing wage
Cal Lab Code § 1775
Page 3
obligations on a separate contract, unless those penalties were subsequently withdrawn or over-
turned.
(iii) The penalty may not be less than thirty dollars ($30) for each calendar day, or portion
thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rate, if the Labor Commissioner deter-
mines that the violation was willful, as defined in subdivision (c) of Section 1777.1.
(C) When the amount due under this section is collected from the contractor or subcontrac-
tor, any outstanding wage claim under Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 1720) of Part 7 of Di-
vision 2 against that contractor or subcontractor shall be satisfied before applying that amount to the
penalty imposed on that contractor or subcontractor pursuant to this section.
(D) The determination of the Labor Commissioner as to the amount of the penalty shall be
reviewable only for abuse of discretion.
(E) The difference between the prevailing wage rates and the amount paid to each worker for
each calendar day or portion thereof for which each worker was paid less than the prevailing wage
rate shall be paid to each worker by the contractor or subcontractor, and the body awarding the con-
tract shall cause to be inserted in the contract a stipulation that this section will be complied with.
(b) If a worker employed by a subcontractor on a public works project is not paid the general
prevailing rate of per diem wages by the subcontractor, the prime contractor of the project is not
liable for any penalties under subdivision (a) unless the prime contractor had knowledge of that
failure of the subcontractor to pay the specified prevailing rate of wages to those workers or unless
the prime contractor fails to comply with all of the following requirements:
(1) The contract executed between the contractor and the subcontractor for the performance of
work on the public works project shall include a copy of the provisions of Sections 1771, 1775,
1776, 1777.5, 1813, and 1815.
(2) The contractor shall monitor the payment of the specified general prevailing rate of per di-
em wages by the subcontractor to the employees, by periodic review of the certified payroll records
of the subcontractor.
(3) Upon becoming aware of the failure of the subcontractor to pay his or her workers the spe-
cified prevailing rate of wages, the contractor shall diligently take corrective action to halt or rectify
the failure, including, but not limited to, retaining sufficient funds due the subcontractor for work
performed on the public works project.
(4) Prior to making final payment to the subcontractor for work performed on the public works
project, the contractor shall obtain an affidavit signed under penalty of perjury from the subcon-
tractor that the subcontractor has paid the specified general prevailing rate of per diem wages to his
or her employees on the public works project and any amounts due pursuant to Section 1813.
(c) The Division of Labor Standards Enforcement shall notify the contractor on a public works
project within 15 days of the receipt by the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement of a com-
plaint of the failure of a subcontractor on that public works project to pay workers the general pre-
vailing rate of per diem wages.

§ 1776. Payroll record of wages paid; Inspection; Forms; Effect of noncompliance; Penalties
(a) Each contractor and subcontractor shall keep accurate payroll records, showing the name,
address, social security number, work classification, straight time and overtime hours worked each
day and week, and the actual per diem wages paid to each journeyman, apprentice, worker, or other
employee employed by him or her in connection with the public work. Each payroll record shall
contain or be verified by a written declaration that it is made under penalty of perjury, stating both
of the following:
(1) The information contained in the payroll record is true and correct.
(2) The employer has complied with the requirements of Sections 1771, 1811, and 1815 for any
work performed by his or her employees on the public works project.
(b) The payroll records enumerated under subdivision (a) shall be certified and shall be availa-
ble for inspection at all reasonable hours at the principal office of the contractor on the following
basis:
(1) A certified copy of an employee's payroll record shall be made available for inspection or
furnished to the employee or his or her authorized representative on request.
(2) A certified copy of all payroll records enumerated in subdivision (a) shall be made available
for inspection or furnished upon request to a representative of the body awarding the contract, the
Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, and the Division of Apprenticeship Standards of the De-
partment of Industrial Relations.
(3) A certified copy of all payroll records enumerated in subdivision (a) shall be made available
upon request by the public for inspection or for copies thereof. However, a request by the public
Cal Lab Code § 1776
Page 5
shall be made through either the body awarding the contract, the Division of Apprenticeship Stan-
dards, or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement. If the requested payroll records have not
been provided pursuant to paragraph (2), the requesting party shall, prior to being provided the
records, reimburse the costs of preparation by the contractor, subcontractors, and the entity through
which the request was made. The public may not be given access to the records at the principal of-
fice of the contractor.
(c) The certified payroll records shall be on forms provided by the Division of Labor Standards
Enforcement or shall contain the same information as the forms provided by the division. The pay-
roll records may consist of printouts of payroll data that are maintained as computer records, if the
printouts contain the same information as the forms provided by the division and the printouts are
verified in the manner specified in subdivision (a).
(d) A contractor or subcontractor shall file a certified copy of the records enumerated in subdi-
vision (a) with the entity that requested the records within 10 days after receipt of a written request.
(e) Any copy of records made available for inspection as copies and furnished upon request to
the public or any public agency by the awarding body, the Division of Apprenticeship Standards, or
the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement shall be marked or obliterated to prevent disclosure of
an individual's name, address, and social security number. The name and address of the contractor
awarded the contract or the subcontractor performing the contract shall not be marked or oblite-
rated. Any copy of records made available for inspection by, or furnished to, a joint la-
bor-management committee established pursuant to the federal Labor Management Cooperation Act
of 1978 (29 U.S.C. Sec. 175a) shall be marked or obliterated only to prevent disclosure of an indi-
vidual's name and social security number. A joint labor management committee may maintain an
action in a court of competent jurisdiction against an employer who fails to comply with Section
1774. The court may award restitution to an employee for unpaid wages and may award the joint
labor management committee reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred in maintaining the ac-
tion. An action under this subdivision may not be based on the employer's misclassification of the
craft of a worker on its certified payroll records. Nothing in this subdivision limits any other availa-
ble remedies for a violation of this chapter.
(f) The contractor shall inform the body awarding the contract of the location of the records
enumerated under subdivision (a), including the street address, city, and county, and shall, within
five working days, provide a notice of a change of location and address.
(g) The contractor or subcontractor has 10 days in which to comply subsequent to receipt of a
written notice requesting the records enumerated in subdivision (a). In the event that the contractor
or subcontractor fails to comply within the 10-day period, he or she shall, as a penalty to the state or
political subdivision on whose behalf the contract is made or awarded, forfeit twenty-five dollars
($25) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker, until strict compliance is effec-
tuated. Upon the request of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards or the Division of Labor
Standards Enforcement, these penalties shall be withheld from progress payments then due. A con-
tractor is not subject to a penalty assessment pursuant to this section due to the failure of a subcon-
tractor to comply with this section.
(h) The body awarding the contract shall cause to be inserted in the contract stipulations to ef-
fectuate this section.

§ 1777.5. Employment of apprentices on public works
(a) Nothing in this chapter shall prevent the employment of properly registered apprentices upon
public works.
(b) Every apprentice employed upon public works shall be paid the prevailing rate of per diem
wages for apprentices in the trade to which he or she is registered and shall be employed only at the
work of the craft or trade to which he or she is registered.
(c) Only apprentices, as defined in Section 3077, who are in training under apprenticeship stan-
dards that have been approved by the Chief of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards and who
are parties to written apprentice agreements under Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 3070) of
Division 3 are eligible to be employed at the apprentice wage rate on public works. The employ-
ment and training of each apprentice shall be in accordance with either of the following:
(1) The apprenticeship standards and apprentice agreements under which he or she is training.
(2) The rules and regulations of the California Apprenticeship Council.
Cal Lab Code § 1777.5
Page 7
(d) When the contractor to whom the contract is awarded by the state or any political subdivi-
sion, in performing any of the work under the contract, employs workers in any apprenticeable craft
or trade, the contractor shall employ apprentices in at least the ratio set forth in this section and may
apply to any apprenticeship program in the craft or trade that can provide apprentices to the site of
the public work for a certificate approving the contractor under the apprenticeship standards for the
employment and training of apprentices in the area or industry affected. However, the decision of
the apprenticeship program to approve or deny a certificate shall be subject to review by the Ad-
ministrator of Apprenticeship. The apprenticeship program or programs, upon approving the con-
tractor, shall arrange for the dispatch of apprentices to the contractor. A contractor covered by an
apprenticeship program's standards shall not be required to submit any additional application in or-
der to include additional public works contracts under that program. "Apprenticeable craft or trade,"
as used in this section, means a craft or trade determined as an apprenticeable occupation in accor-
dance with rules and regulations prescribed by the California Apprenticeship Council. As used in
this section, "contractor" includes any subcontractor under a contractor who performs any public
works not excluded by subdivision (o).
(e) Prior to commencing work on a contract for public works, every contractor shall submit con-
tract award information to an applicable apprenticeship program that can supply apprentices to the
site of the public work. The information submitted shall include an estimate of journeyman hours to
be performed under the contract, the number of apprentices proposed to be employed, and the ap-
proximate dates the apprentices would be employed. A copy of this information shall also be sub-
mitted to the awarding body if requested by the awarding body. Within 60 days after concluding
work on the contract, each contractor and subcontractor shall submit to the awarding body, if re-
quested, and to the apprenticeship program a verified statement of the journeyman and apprentice
hours performed on the contract. The information under this subdivision shall be public. The ap-
prenticeship programs shall retain this information for 12 months.
(f) The apprenticeship program that can supply apprentices to the area of the site of the public
work shall ensure equal employment and affirmative action in apprenticeship for women and mi-
norities.
(g) The ratio of work performed by apprentices to journeymen employed in a particular craft or
trade on the public work may be no higher than the ratio stipulated in the apprenticeship standards
under which the apprenticeship program operates where the contractor agrees to be bound by those
standards, but, except as otherwise provided in this section, in no case shall the ratio be less than
one hour of apprentice work for every five hours of journeyman work.
(h) This ratio of apprentice work to journeyman work shall apply during any day or portion of a
day when any journeyman is employed at the jobsite and shall be computed on the basis of the
hours worked during the day by journeymen so employed. Any work performed by a journeyman in
excess of eight hours per day or 40 hours per week shall not be used to calculate the ratio. The con-
tractor shall employ apprentices for the number of hours computed as above before the end of the
contract or, in the case of a subcontractor, before the end of the subcontract. However, the contrac-
tor shall endeavor, to the greatest extent possible, to employ apprentices during the same time pe-
riod that the journeymen in the same craft or trade are employed at the jobsite. Where an hourly ap-
prenticeship ratio is not feasible for a particular craft or trade, the Chief of the Division of Appren-
ticeship Standards, upon application of an apprenticeship program, may order a minimum ratio of
not less than one apprentice for each five journeymen in a craft or trade classification.
Cal Lab Code § 1777.5
Page 8
(i) A contractor covered by this section that has agreed to be covered by an apprenticeship pro-
gram's standards upon the issuance of the approval certificate, or that has been previously approved
for an apprenticeship program in the craft or trade, shall employ the number of apprentices or the
ratio of apprentices to journeymen stipulated in the applicable apprenticeship standards, but in no
event less than the 1-to-5 ratio required by subdivision (g).
(j) Upon proper showing by a contractor that he or she employs apprentices in a particular craft
or trade in the state on all of his or her contracts on an annual average of not less than one hour of
apprentice work for every five hours of labor performed by journeymen, the Chief of the Division
of Apprenticeship Standards may grant a certificate exempting the contractor from the 1-to-5 hourly
ratio, as set forth in this section for that craft or trade.
(k) An apprenticeship program has the discretion to grant to a participating contractor or con-
tractor association a certificate, which shall be subject to the approval of the Administrator of Ap-
prenticeship, exempting the contractor from the 1-to-5 ratio set forth in this section when it finds
that any one of the following conditions is met:
(1) Unemployment for the previous three-month period in the area exceeds an average of 15
percent.
(2) The number of apprentices in training in the area exceeds a ratio of 1 to 5.
(3) There is a showing that the apprenticeable craft or trade is replacing at least one-thirtieth of
its journeymen annually through apprenticeship training, either on a statewide basis or on a local
basis.
(4) Assignment of an apprentice to any work performed under a public works contract would
create a condition that would jeopardize his or her life or the life, safety, or property of fellow em-
ployees or the public at large, or the specific task to which the apprentice is to be assigned is of a
nature that training cannot be provided by a journeyman.
(1) When an exemption is granted pursuant to subdivision (k) to an organization that represents
contractors in a specific trade from the 1-to-5 ratio on a local or statewide basis, the member con-
tractors shall not be required to submit individual applications for approval to local joint appren-
ticeship committees, if they are already covered by the local apprenticeship standards.
(m)
(1) A contractor to whom a contract is awarded, who, in performing any of the work under the
contract, employs journeymen or apprentices in any apprenticeable craft or trade shall contribute to
the California Apprenticeship Council the same amount that the director determines is the prevail-
ing amount of apprenticeship training contributions in the area of the public works site. A contractor
may take as a credit for payments to the council any amounts paid by the contractor to an approved
apprenticeship program that can supply apprentices to the site of the public works project. The con-
tractor may add the amount of the contributions in computing his or her bid for the contract.
(2) At the conclusion of the 2002-03 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the California
Apprenticeship Council shall distribute training contributions received by the council under this
subdivision, less the expenses of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards for administering this
subdivision, by making grants to approved apprenticeship programs for the purpose of training ap-
prentices. The funds shall be distributed as follows:
Cal Lab Code § 1777.5
Page 9
(A) If there is an approved multiemployer apprenticeship program serving the same craft or
trade and geographic area for which the training contributions were made to the council, a grant to
that program shall be made.
(B) If there are two or more approved multiemployer apprenticeship programs serving the
same craft or trade and geographic area for which the training contributions were made to the coun-
cil, the grant shall be divided among those programs based on the number of apprentices registered
in each program.
(C) All training contributions not distributed under subparagraphs (A) and (B) shall be used
to defray the future expenses of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards.
(3) All training contributions received pursuant to this subdivision shall be deposited in the
Apprenticeship Training Contribution Fund, which is hereby created in the State Treasury. Not-
withstanding Section 13340 of the Government Code, all money in the Apprenticeship Training
Contribution Fund is hereby continuously appropriated for the purpose of carrying out this subdivi-
sion and to pay the expenses of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards.
(n) The body awarding the contract shall cause to be inserted in the contract stipulations to ef-
fectuate this section. The stipulations shall fix the responsibility of compliance with this section for
all apprenticeable occupations with the prime contractor.
(o) This section does not apply to contracts of general contractors or to contracts of specialty
contractors not bidding for work through a general or prime contractor when the contracts of gener-
al contractors or those specialty contractors involve less than thirty thousand dollars ($30,000).
(p) All decisions of an apprenticeship program under this section are subject to Section 3081.
