It shall be the sole judgment of the City Engi neer to determine adeq uate remedy and/or a reduction in compensation for any lot failing to meet 95 percent relative compaction.

The City’s designated laboratory will obtain samples of the ARHM- GG from each lot to perform extraction tests to insure the proper aggregate gradation and asphalt content is being supplied in accordance with the approved ARHM-GG mix design. If the test results for any lot of ARHM-GG indicate that the ARHM-GG does not meet the requirements of the approved mix design the Contractor will be advised that he is not attaining the required composition and grading and that his materials need adjustment. ARHM-GG spreading operations shall not continue until the Contractor has notified the Engineer of the adjustment that will be made in order to meet the approved mix design. If the test results for any lot of ARHM-GG continue to indicate that the composition and grading does not conform to the approved mix design after adjustments have been made, the ARHM-GG represented by that lot shall be removed and replaced at the Contractor's expense and the Contractor shall suspend all further paving operations until the Contractor can demonstr ate to the City that the ARHM-GG is in accordance with the approved mix design.

The Contractor shall provide for adequate quality control measures to insure that delivery of asphalt rubber shall be neither too slow nor too fast to prevent stopping of the paving operation and/or cooling of the asphalt rubber material.

nly apprentices, as defined in Section 3077, who are in training under apprenticeship standards that have bee
n approved by the Chief of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards and who are parties to written ap
prentice agreements under Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 3070) of Division 3 are eligible to be emplo
yed at the apprentice wage rate on public works. The employment and training of each apprentice sh
all be in accordance with either of the following:
(1) Th
e apprenticeship standards and apprentice agreements under which he or she is training. 600
Part 4 BD - 13
(2) Th
e rules and regulations of the California Apprenticeship Council. (d)
When the contractor to whom the contract is awarded by the state or any political subdivision, in perfo
rming any of the work under the contract, employs workers in any apprenticeable craft or trade, the contracto
r shall employ apprentices in at least the ratio set forth in this section and may apply to any apprenticeshi
p program in the craft or trade that can provide apprentices to the site of the public work for a certificate ap
proving the contractor under the apprenticeship standards for the employment and training of apprentices i
n the area or industry affected. However, the decision of the apprenticeship program to approve or d
eny a certificate shall be subject to review by the Administrator of Apprenticeship. The apprenticeshi
p program or programs, upon approving the contractor, shall arrange for the dispatch of apprentices t
o the contractor. A contractor covered by an apprenticeship program's standards shall not be required to submit any additional application in order to include additional public works contracts under that prog
ram. "Apprenticeable craft or trade," as used in this section, means a craft or trade determined as an apprenticeabl
e occupation in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by the California Appre
nticeship Council. As used in this section, "contractor" includes any subcontractor under a contractor who performs any public works not excluded by subdivision (o). (e) Pri
or to commencing work on a contract for public works, every contractor shall submit contract award informatio
n 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 approximate dates the apprentices woul
d be employed. A copy of this information shall also be submitted to the awarding body if requested by the awa
rding body. Within 60 days after concluding work on the contract, each contractor and subcontractor shall submit to the awarding body, if requested, and to the apprenticeship program a verified statement of the journeyman and apprentice hours performed on the contract. The information under this sub
division shall be public. The apprenticeship programs shall retain this information for 12 months. (f) The ap
prenticeship program that can supply apprentices to the area of the site of the public work shall ensure e
qual employment and affirmative action in apprenticeship for women and minorities. (g) Th
e ratio of work performed by apprentices to journeymen employed in a particular craft or trade on the publi
c work may be no higher than the ratio stipulated in the apprenticeship standards under which the apprenticeshi
p program operates where the contractor agrees to be bound by those standards, but, except as othe
rwise provided in this section, in no case shall the ratio be less than one hour of apprentice work for eve
ry five hours of journeyman work.
(h) Thi
s 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 o
r 40 hours per week shall not be used to calculate the ratio. The contractor shall employ apprentices for the numb
er of hours computed as above before the end of the contract or, in the case of a sub
contractor, before the end of the subcontract. However, the contractor shall endeavor, to the greatest extent po
ssible, to employ apprentices during the same time period that the journeymen in the same craft or trad

the Chief of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards, upon application of an apprenticeship prog
ram, may order a minimum ratio of not less than one apprentice for each five journeymen in a craft or trade classification.
(i) A contract
or covered by this section that has agreed to be covered by an apprenticeship program's stand
ards upon the issuance of the approval certificate, or that has been previously approved for an apprenticeshi
p program in the craft or trade, shall employ the number of apprentices or the ratio of apprentices t
o journeymen stipulated in the applicable apprenticeship standards, but in no event less than the 1-to-5 rati
o required by subdivision (g).
(j) Upon proper showing by a contractor that he or she emplo ys apprentices in a particular craft or trade in the state on a

ment of an apprentice to any work performed under a public works contract would create a con
dition that would jeopardize his or her life or the life, safety, or property of fellow employees or the publi
c at large, or the specific task to which the apprentice is to be assigned is of a nature that training can
not be provided by a journeyman.
(l) Wh
en an exemption is granted pursuant to subdivision (k) to an organization that represents contractors in a spe
cific trade from the 1-to-5 ratio on a local or statewide basis, the member contractors shall not be requi

AMENDMENTS RELATED TO THE PROJECT AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT.”
Background:

The City of Lynwood worked with sewer system designer Valued Engineering, Inc. for the design of the Sewer System Improvements Project for FY 2022-2023 on Industrial Way, Elmwood Ave., and Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. After the plans and specifications were finalized and approved by public works staff, the project was published on the city’s PlanetBids website.

The work to be performed consists of constructing a VCP sewer pipe main, reconstruct existing sewer lateral, furnish, install and re-construct sewer manholes.

Discussion and Analysis:

In accordance with the Lynwood Municipal Code (LMC) Chapter 6 Subsection 6-3, on May 3, 2023, the Notice Inviting Bids (NIB) was advertised on the City’s website (PlanetBids). The Bid City Council City Council Regular Meeting 624

631
Part 1 BD - 27

XI. LICENSES

Contractor further warrants and represents that he/she/they has/have the appropriate contractor's license to pursue the work hereunder.

The Contractor will take affirmative action to insure that employees are treated during employment or training without regard to th eir of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, marital status, sex, age, political affiliation or sexual orientation.

a. It protects public job opportunities and stimulates the City’s economy by reducing the incentive to recruit and pay a substandard wage to labor from distant, cheap-labor areas.

OBLIGATIONS UNDER THESE PROVISIONS. THIS PROVISION MEANS THAT

CITY CAN WITHOLD ALL OR PART OF A PAYMENT TO CONTRACTOR UNTIL ALL REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION IS SUBMITTED.

672
Installation of pipe shall start at the low end of each section and proceed upgrade.

All bell and spigot pipe shall be laid with the bell end upgrade. Assembly of all types of pipe shall be done in strict confor mance with the requirements of the pipe manufacturer.

Pipe shall be accurately laid to alignm ent and grade shown on the drawings or established by the Engineer. Where grade stakes are provided with which to establish the proper pipeline grade, pipe shall be laid to grade within a tolerance of

0.02', or 0.05' cumulative deviation from elevations set at 100' stations

LATERALS AND CLEAN-OUTS:

Laterals and clean-outs shall be constructed at the points indicated on the plans, and in accordance with the standard draw ings. Connections of house laterals to sewer mains shall be either wye or tee type connections as shown on standard drawings except that only one type shall be used universally throughout the project.

Wye branches shall be laid with the axis of the "Y" entering the main sewer at an angle above the horizontal axis of said main, unless specifically called out otherwise on the plans or in the Special Conditions, but, unless specifically called out otherwise, this angle shall not exceed 45°.

Where tee type connections of house laterals to sewer mains are selected in accordance with the requirements, the Contractor shall provide a 1-foot long section of lateral sewer pipe out of the tee-type branch.

Wherever any service connection is to be temporarily blanked off, it shall be plugged with a terra cotta cover secured and made watertight with cement mortar.

Lateral connections to existing mains shall be made pursuant to the provisions of the appropriate standard drawing for saddle connection to the existing main pipe material.

Manholes shall be constructed in the locations and to the dimensions as shown on the drawings. Cast-in-place concrete shall conform to the requirements set forth in Section "Portland Cement Concrete" in these specifications. Pre-cast units shall be assembled accurately with full-bed mortar joints.

Unless otherwise shown on the drawings, the sewer pipe shall be laid continuously through the location of the manhole. After the manhole has been constructed, the open channel shall be formed by splitting the pipe and removing the top half. If the open channel cannot be formed in this manner, it shall be formed of concrete with the depth equal to the diameter of the sewer pipe. The floor of the manhole shall slope at least 2" from the sides of the manhole to the open channel.

When completed, the top of the manhole cover shall be accurately brought to the elevation called for on the drawings, or if no elevation is indicated, it shall be brought flush with the surface of the surrounding ground or pavement. The manholes shall be constructed so that there is not more than 19" of throat section between the top of the cone and the top of the frame.

When located in roadway subgr ades, manholes shall be constructed up to the proper elevation preparatory to street paving, and temporarily covered with planks 673
Part 2 BD - 29
or steel plates. After paving operations have been completed the temporary covers shall be removed and the frames and covers installed flush with pavement grade.

CLEANING SEWER LINES:

All sanitary sewer mains and laterals shall be flushed with water and "balled" or cleaned by acceptable method prior to test ing to ensure that all dirt, debris, and obstructions are removed. This work must be performed in the presence of and to the satisfaction of the Engineer, and the Contractor shall notify the Engineer at least one (1) working day in advance of starting the cleaning work.

The Contractor shall, following backfill compaction and line cleaning provide:

1. 3/8” minimum pull ropes from manhole to manhole.

2. Equipment and traffic control to assi st in the T.V. inspection performed by district's subcontractor.

LEAKAGE TESTS:

All sanitary sewers shall be tested for ti ghtness after they and all appurtenances have been completed, backfilled (except for test tees) and compacted, and are ready for service. In shallow systems, leakage testing shall follow placement of road base material. Tests shall be made on each section, including manholes, from one manhole or test tee to the next, unless grades are flat enough to permit testing two or more sections at one time.

The method of required test (water test or air test) shall be determined by the Inspector.

1. Preparation for Tests. Each section of sewer, including house laterals, between successive manholes shall be tested by closing the lower end of the section to be tested, the inlet sewer of the upper manhole, and the ends of house laterals with stoppers, and filling the pipe and manhole with water to a level of 4' above the invert of the open sewer in the upper terminal. After the section has been filled, it shall be allowed to stand for a sufficient length of time to allow the pipe to absorb what water it will, prior to making the leakage test described in the following paragraphs (Water Test and Air Test). This period of time for absorpti on of water shall not be less than 30 minutes nor greater than 24 hours.

2. Water Test. The leakage test shall consist of measuring the quantity of water required to maintain the water level at the elevation prescribed in the above paragraph for a period of one (1 ) hour. The water used in the test shall be measured through a meter or by other means satisfactory to the Engineer. The allowable leakage sha ll be computed from the following formula:

E = 0.0015 DL/h
Where E = allowable leakage in gallons
D = inside diameter of the pipe in inches
L = length of line being tested in feet
h = difference in elevation (in feet) between the water surface in the upper manhole and the invert of the pipe in the lower manhole 674

If the leakage during the test period exceeds the allowable leakage, the sewer line shall be overhauled and, if necessary, relaid until the joints hold satisfactorily under the test.

3. Air Test. Installed pipeline shall be field tested in accordance with the air test specified in the National Clay Pipe Institute 1967 Supplement to Engineering Manual, and its suppleme ntary tables contained in the NCPI publication entitled "Low Pressure Air Test for Sanitary Sewers (Procedures and Tables)." Isolation of defects by air test shall be the Contractor's responsibility to perform; however, if performed by the District or its agent, they shall be performed at the Contractor's expense.

4. Alternate Infiltration Test. If excessive groundwater is encountered in the construction of a section of the sewer, the test for leakage previously described shall not be used. The end of the sewer at the upper structure shall be closed sufficiently to prevent the entrance of water and pumping of groundwater shall be discontinued for at least three (3) days, after which the section shall be tested for infiltration.

The infiltration into each individual reach of sewer between adjoining manholes shall not exceed 100 gallons per inch of inside diameter of sewer per 24 hours per mile. Infiltration in excess of this amount shall be reduced to a quantity within the specified amount before the sewer will be accepted.

In any case, the Contractor shall stop any individual leaks that may be observed.

Unless otherwise specified, infiltration will be measured through a meter or by other means satisfactory to the Engineer

5. Manhole Leakage. Should an initial test show excessive leakage in a section of line, it is permissible to draw off the water of a water test and test the manhole that contained water. This test shall be made by plugging all openings in the manhole, filling same with water to the same elevation as used for the initial test, and checking the loss in a one hour period. The leakage so determined may be deduct ed from the total leakage in the section of pipe initially tested. If, in the opinion of the Engineer, the manhole leakage thus determined is excessive, the Contractor shall waterproof the interior of the manhole by applying a coating of grout or an approved waterproofing material. Excessive leakage is defined to be 50 gallons per hour when filled to the top of the barrel sections (not including cone or grade rings). Shallow rectangular manholes shall be filled to the top of the manhole sections (not including grad e rings), with 50 gallons per hour leakage allowed.

SEWER PIPE REPAIRS:

Sewer pipe leakage in excess of the allowable maximum shall be corrected by repairs acceptable to the Engineer, and retesting as required. Mere sealing of leaks shall not be an acceptable repair.

LATERAL MARKERS:
675
Part 2 BD - 31

It shall be required of the Contractor to place the required markers at the end of each lateral and to also return after curb construction to place the required mark in the face of the curb. An "L" may be used in place of the required "S" mark in the curb face.

EXECUTION

INSTALLATION
Manhole bases shall be poured in a dry trench, using Class 2 concrete. Concrete will sampled at the Engineer's discretion. Upon Engineer’s approval, pre-cast manhole bases may be used on straight runs and terminal manholes only. No field medication of pre-cast manhole bases shall be allowed.

During the pouring of the manhole base, precautions shall be taken to ensure that the sewer pipes entering and leaving the manhole do not move from the installed alignment and grade. Plugs shall be placed in open pipes to prevent concrete from entering the lines. In case of straight-through lines, the pipe may be laid through the manhole excavation with the base being poured around the pipe. The upper half of the pipe shall then be cut out to form the channel. Water stops shall be used on all plastic pipe entering the manhole to prevent groundwater from leaking through the manhole wall. Water stop shall be molded plastic or molded rubber.

Care shall be taken in setting the bottom manhole section at the appropriate time during the cure of the concrete to ensure penetration (see Stan dard Drawings) and to allow for two inches of minimum clearance between the bottom of the manhole section and the top of the highest pipe.

Manholes shall be plumb.

The channels shall be shaped in flowing curves as indicated on the drawings to ensure good hydraulic characteristics for the flow of wastewater. A smooth, clean, hand rubbed finish shall be given to the surfaces of the manhole base and to any joint mortar work. Transitions between different sizes of pipes shall be smooth and regula r. Cracks, joints, holes, etc., shall be sealed with Sika or approved equal non-shrink grout or sealing compounds to ensure watertight manholes.

No more than twelve (12) vertical inches of grad e rings shall be used to adjust the level of the manhole frame (12 inches maximum between the top of the tapered manhole section and the bottom of the manhole frame). Ma nhole steps shall be located on the downstream side of the manhole. For manholes less than 5 feet in dept h, concentric cones shall be used and manhole steps shall be omitted.

Backfill shall be placed uniformly around the outside of the manhole so as to not create differential forces and the possibility of dislodging the manhole sections.

691
Part 2 BD - 47
Where a manhole is constructed on an existing straight-through sewer, the top portion of the sewer pipe shall not be removed until the manhole has been completed and tested.

TESTING
The Contractor shall conduct an exfiltration test or vacuum test on each manhole constructed.

The test shall be conducted by the Contractor in the presence of the Engineer.

Exfiltration tests shall consist of plugging incoming and outgoing sewer lines and filling the manhole with water up to the rim. After initial absorption (15 minutes), if the water loss exceeds one inch in depth in five minutes, the manhole shall have failed the test. Each manhole which fails the test shall be carefully inspected to determine the problem and then resealed and retested until the water loss is less than one inch in five minutes.

Vacuum tests shall consist of drawing a vacuum on a sealed manhole and measuring the time for the vacuum to drop to a predetermined level. The actual test procedure shall be provided by the manufacturer of the test equipment and approved by the Engineer. Each manhole which fails the test shall be carefully inspected to determine the problem and then resealed and retested until the manhole passes.

Labor Code Sections 1771, 1775, 1776, 1777.5, 1813 and 1815 719
Part 4 BD - 11

Labor Code Section 1771
Requirement of prevailing local rate for work under contract

Except for public works projects of one thousand dollars ($1,000) or less, not less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages for work of a similar character in the locality in which the public work is performed, and not less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages for holiday and overtime work fixed as provided in this chapter, shall be paid to all workers employed on public works.

Labor Code Section 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 prevailing wage obligations.

(B)

(i) The penalty may not be less than ten dollars ($10) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, 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 subcontractor.

(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 obligations on a separate contract, unless those penalties were subsequently withdrawn or overturned.

(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 determines 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 subcontractor, any outstanding wage claim under Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 1720) of Part 7 of Division 2 against that contractor or subcontractor shall be satisfied before applying that amount to the penalty imposed on 720

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 contract 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 diem 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 specified 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 subcontractor 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 complaint of the failure of a subcontractor on that public works project to pay workers the general prevailing rate of per diem wages

Labor Code 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 standards 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 employment 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. 721
Part 4 BD - 13

(d) When the contractor to whom the contract is awarded by the state or any political subdivision, 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 Administrator of Apprenticeship. The apprenticeship program or programs, upon approving the contractor, 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 order 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 accordance 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 contract 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 approximate dates the apprentices would be employed. A copy of this information shall also be submitted 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 requested, 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 apprenticeship 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 minorities.

(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 contractor 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 contractor shall endeavor, to the greatest extent possible, to employ apprentices during the same time period that the journeymen in the same craft or trade are employed at the jobsite. Where an hourly apprenticeship ratio is not feasible for a particular craft or trade, the Chief of the Division of Apprenticeship 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.

(i) A contractor covered by this section that has agreed to be covered by an apprenticeship program'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.
722

(k) An apprenticeship program has the discretion to grant to a participating contractor or contractor association a certificate, which shall be subject to the approval of the Administrator of Apprenticeship, 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 performe d under a public works contract would create a condition that would jeopardize his or her life or the life, safety, or property of fellow employees 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.

(l) 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 contractors shall not be required to submit individual applications for approval to local joint apprenticeship 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 prevailing 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 contractor 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 apprentices. The funds shall be distributed as follows:

(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 council, 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. Notwithstanding 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 subdivision 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 effectuate this 723
Part 4 BD - 15

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 general 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.

Labor Code Section 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:
