Re: City of Orange, Civic Meeting TV/AV Production Personnel Support, AV Preparation and Systems Maintenance Support
Mr. Dering:
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to provide you a proposal for ongoing TV and AV production personnel support at each of the civic meetings including the City Council meetings, Planning Commission meetings and the Design Review Committee meetings. Additionally, the City is need of continued technical support related to the newly installed AV Systems and TV Systems supporti ng the Council Chamber operations and can be categorized as infrastructure and systems maintenance support.
TV Production and AV Functionality Support
The TV/AV production personnel to attend each meeting will provide technical oversight and support of the ongoing operations principally ran the by the Chapman students as well as a lead role in TV/AV production during the Design Review Committee (DRC) meetings and others as requested by the City. We will take the lead role in TV/AV production responsibilities and require a higher level of effort and operational support.
Additionally, a new er AV test and preparation service role has been requested whereb y crew arrive earlier, up to 2 hours before the meetings, to go through a check list of Audio Visual device and systems performance testing.
Infrastructure and Systems Maintenance Support
The major systems to be reviewed and targeted for maintenance suppor t include the On -Air Playback Automation System, the Camera Control and Robotics System, the Graphics and Character Generator System, the Video Production Switcher, the Sound Reinforcement System, the AV Control System, the Video and Audio Routing Systems, the Distribution and Monitoring Systems and any other technically related subsystems.
Proposal
The following services to be provided are based on a minimum number of hours and, based on information provided, estimated average hours of onsite TV/AV production support. The TV/AV production personnel will arrive onsite at least 2 hours before the start time of the meetings . TV Maintenance is based on quarterly ser vice and an estimate of as -needed hours based on the life cycle of equipment and MTF estimates on regressive functionality projections.
Minimum Time Estimates
Estimates are based on the accuracy of previous projections for these services fo r the City of Orange. F ull hours of service in the subtotals i s supported for appropriate budgetary purposes since several factors, unforeseen or otherwise requested, are necessary in the projections.

TV Production, Oversite, and AV Testing and Cost Estimates $125 per hour cost basis
These are only estimates based on the current understanding of the City’s scheduling needs. The cost proposal includes minimum hours to carry out services, however no minimum hours will be billed to the City if no services are rendered onsite.
Please contact me with any changes you wish to make regarding this proposal. Thank you for the opportunity, I look forward to assisting the City of Orange with their AV and TV Production operation al needs and maintaining the TV Broadcast Systems as necessary.

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
The American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act of 2021 appropriated $5 billion to qualifying jurisdictions through the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) to provide housing, services, and shelter to individuals experiencing homelessness and other vulnerable populations. On September 20, 2021, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) notified the City that it would be receiving $1,655,186 to use towards a plan to reduce homelessness and increase housing stability.
Before the City is able to access the HOME-ARP funds, an allocation plan outlining the use of funds must be completed and approved by HUD. To assist with the development of the plan, HUD authorized 5% of the awarded amount, or $82,759.30, to be set aside and made available to the City for this purpose.
As part of the planning and development of the plan, staff is requesting the approval of an Agreement with Michael Baker International, Inc. (MBI) for $60,000 to provide consulting and assistance during the process. The balance of the funds will be used to off-set City staff costs in the process.
Once an allocation plan is drafted, staff will return to the City Council for direction and approval of the plan before submitting it to HUD for final approval.

As part of the planning and development of the plan, staff is requesting the approval of an Agreement with Michael Baker International, Inc. (MBI) for $60,000 to provide consulting and assistance during the process. The balance of the funds will be used to off-set City staff costs in the process.
Once an allocation plan is drafted, staff will return to the City Council for direction and approval of the plan before submitting it to HUD for final approval.

1. SUBJECT
Request for funding for the improvement project at North Net Training Center.
2. SUMMARY
The Fire Department is requesting City Council approve additional funding for the improvement project at North Net Training Center. The City’s portion of the project is $165,000.
3. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the appropriation of $165,000 from the General Fund unreserved fund balance to expenditure account number 100.3021.51780.20515, General Fund - North Net Training Facility.
4. FISCAL IMPACT
The total additional expenditure for this project is $165,000 and will be funded through General Fund (100).
5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 1: Provide for a safe community
b. Provide and maintain infrastructure necessary to ensure the safety of the public.
6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
Pursuant to a joint powers agreement, the cities of Orange and Anaheim formed the North Net Training Authority (North Net) for joint use of the Training Center to foster cooperation between the cities and provide more cost-effective training for each city’sfire department personnel. Funding for North Net operations is based on the relative number of firefighter positions in each city and currently, Anaheim provides 64.51% of the funding and Orange 35.49%. The North Net site is owned by Anaheim and is leased by North Net pursuant to the terms of the joint powers agreement.
In May 2021, the Orange County Board of Supervisors approved the sale of a 20,654 square foot Orange County Flood Control District parcel adjacent to the Training Center to Anaheim. A First Amendment to the Amended and Restated North Net Joint Powers Training Agreement was approved by the city councils of Orange and Anaheim, respectively, on July 16, 2021, and July 20, 2021, formally adding the parcel to the Training Center site.
Also in May 2021, Kreuzer Consulting Group (Kreuzer) was retained for design development for site improvements. After a year-long process of reviewing the design to reduce costs, on June 10, 2022, City of Orange Printed on 7/7/2022Page 1 of 2

improvements. After a year-long process of reviewing the design to reduce costs, on June 10, 2022, the City of Anaheim Public Works Department and North Net received a final site plan and preliminary cost estimate in the amount of $1,164,030 from Kreuzer for the site improvements.
North Net had originally allocated $700,000 to the expansion project; however, due to the high rate of inflation, especially in the construction field, and supply and demand issues, there is a shortfall of $463,975 to complete the project.
Staff is requesting an appropriation to make up the shortfall in relationship to the City’sFair Share Percentage of 35.49% or approximately $164,665. If approved by the Anaheim City Council, Anaheim would contribute the balance of 64.51% or $299,310. The project will only go forward if the City Councils of both cities approve a Fair Share Percentage contribution.

(B) Beginning June 1, 2019, a contractor may register or renew according to this subdivision in annual increments up to three years from the date of registration. Contractors who wish to do so will be required to prepay the applicable nonrefundable application or renewal fees to qualify for the number of years for which they wish to preregister.
(2) Provide evidence, disclosures, or releases as are necessary to establish all of the following:
(A) Workers' compensation coverage that meets the requirements of Division 4 (commencing with Section 3200) and includes sufficient coverage for any worker whom the contractor employs to perform work that is subject to prevailing wage requirements other than a contractor who is separately registered under this section.
Coverage may be evidenced by a current and valid certificate of workers' compensation insurance or certification of self-insurance required under Section 7125 of the Business and Professions Code. (B) If applicable, the contractor is licensed in accordance with Chapter 9 (commencing with Section 7000) of the Business and Professions Code.

(D) The contractor is not currently deba rred under Section 1777.1 or under any other federal or state law providing for the debarment of contractors from public works. (E) The contractor has not bid on a public works contract, been listed in a bid proposal, or engaged in the performance of a contract for public works without being lawfully registered in accordance with this section, within the preceding 12 months or since the effective date of the requirements set forth in subdivision (e), whichever is earlier.

(d) If, after a body awarding a contract accepts the contractor's bid or awards the contract, the work covered by the bid or contract is determined to be a public work to which Section 1771 applies, either as the result of a determination by the director pursuant to Section 1773.5 or a court decision, the requirements of this section shall not apply, subject to the following requirements:
(1) The body that awarded the contract failed, in the bid specification or in the contract documents, to identify as a public work that portion of the work that the determination or decision subsequently classifies as a public work.
(2) Within 20 days following service of notice on the awarding body of a determination by the Director of Industrial Relations pursuant to Section 1773.5 or a decision by a court that the contract was for public work as defined in this c hapter, the contractor and any subcontractors are registered under this section or are replaced by a contractor or subcontractors who are registered under this section. (3) The requirements of this section shall apply prospectively only to any subsequent b id, bid proposal, contract, or work performed after the awarding body is served with notice of the determination or decision referred to in paragraph (2).

Section 1777.5. Employment of registered apprentices; wages; standards; number; apprenticeable craft or trade; exemptions; contributions; compliance program
(a)(1) This chapter does not prevent the employment upon public works of properly registered apprentices who are active participants in an approved apprenticeship program. (2) For purposes of this chapter, “apprenticeship program” means a program under the jurisdiction of the California Apprenticeship Council established pursuant to Section 3070. (b)(1) 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.
(2) Unless otherwise provided by a collective bargaining agreement, when a contractor requests the dis patch of an apprentice pursuant to this section to perform work on a public works project and requires the apprentice to fill out an application or undergo testing, training, an examination, or other preemployment process as a condition of employment, the apprentice shall be paid for the time spent on the required preemployment activity, including travel time to and from the required activity, if any, at the prevailing rate of per diem wages for apprentices in the trade to which he or she is registered. Unless otherwise provided by a collective bargaining agreement, a contractor is not required to compensate an apprentice for the time spent on preemployment activities if the apprentice is required to take a preemployment drug or alcohol test and he or she fails to pass that test.
(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 294
Attachment No. 1
apprentice agreements unde r 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. (d) If 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 appren tices 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 dete rmined 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 excl uded by subdivision (o).
(e) Before 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 submitte d 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 supplying apprentices to the are a 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 if the contractor agrees to be bound by those standards. However, 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 per iod that the journeymen in the same craft or trade are employed at the jobsite. When an hourly apprenticeship ratio is not feasible for a particular craft or trade, the Administrator 295
Attachment No. 1
of Apprenticeship, upon application of an apprenticeship program, may or der 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 who has agreed to be covered by an apprenticeship program's standards upon the issuance of the approva l certificate, or who 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 Administrator of Apprenticeship 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 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 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 employees or the public at large, or the specific task to which the apprentice is to be assigned is of a nature that tr aining cannot be provided by a journeyman.
(l) If 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)(A) At the conclusion of the 2002 -03 fiscal year and each fiscal year ther eafter, the California Apprenticeship Council shall distribute training contributions received by the council under this subdivision, less the expenses of the Department of Industrial Relations for administering this subdivision, by making grants to approved apprenticeship programs for the purpose of training apprentices. The grant funds shall be distributed as follows:
296
Attachment No. 1
(i) If there is an approved multiemployer apprenticeship program serving the same craft or trade and geographic area for which the trainin g contributions were made to the council, a grant to that program shall be made.
(ii) If there are two or more approved multiemployer apprenticeship programs serving the same craft or trade and county for which the training contributions were made to the c ouncil, the grant shall be divided among those programs based on the number of apprentices from that county registered in each program. (iii) All training contributions not distributed under clauses (i) and (ii) shall be used to defray the future expenses of the Department of Industrial Relations for the administration and enforcement of apprenticeship and preapprenticeship standards and requirements under this code. (B) An apprenticeship program shall only be eligible to receive grant funds pursuant to this subdivision if the apprenticeship program agrees, prior to the receipt of any grant funds, to keep adequate records that document the expenditure of grant funds and to make all records available to the Department of Industrial Relations so that the Depar tment of Industrial Relations is able to verify that grant funds were used s olely for training apprentices. For purposes of this subparagraph, adequate records include, but are not limited to, invoices, receipts, and canceled checks that account for the expenditure of grant funds. This subparagraph shall not be deemed to require an apprenticeship program to provide the Department of Industrial Relations with more documentation than is necessary to verify the appropriate expenditure of grant funds made pur suant to this subdivision.
(C) The Department of Industrial Relations shall verify that grants made pursuant to this subdivision are used solely to fund training apprentices. If an apprenticeship program is unable to demonstrate how grant funds are expended or if an apprenticeship program is found to be using grant funds for purposes other than training apprentices, then the apprenticeship program shall not be eligible to receive any future grant pursuant to this subdivision and the Department of Industrial Relations may initiate the process to rescind the registration of the apprenticeship program.
(3) All training contributions received pursuant to this subdivision shall be deposited in the Apprenticeship Training Contribution Fund, which is hereby create d in the State Treasury. Upon appropriation by the Legislature, all moneys in the Apprenticeship Training Contribution Fund shall be used for the purpose of carrying out this subdivision and to pay the expenses of the Department of Industrial Relations. (n) The body awarding the contract shall cause to be inserted in the contract stipulations to effectuate 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 general contractors or those specialty contractors involve less than thirty thousand dollars ($30,000). (p) An awarding body that implements an approved labor compliance program in accordance with subdivision (b) of Section 1771.5 may, with the approval of the director, assist in the enforcement of this section under the terms and conditions prescribed by the director.
Section 1813. Forfeiture for violations; contract stipulation; report of violations
The contractor or subcontractor shall, as a penalty to the state or political subdivision on who se behalf the contract is made or awarded, forfeit twenty- five dollars ($25) for each worker employed in the execution of 297
Attachment No. 1
the contract by the respective contractor or subcontractor for each calendar day during which the worker is required or permitted to work more than 8 hours in any one calendar day and 40 hours in any one calendar week in violation of the provisions of this article. In awarding any contract for public work, the awarding body shall cause to be inserted in the contract a stipulation to this effect. The awarding body shall take cognizance of all violations of this article committed in the course of the execution of the contract, and shall report them to the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement.
Section 1815. Overtime
Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 1810 to 1814, inclusive, of this code, and notwithstanding any stipulation inserted in any contract pursuant to the requirements of said sections, work performed by employees of contractors in excess of 8 hours per day, and 40 hours during any one week, shall be permitted upon public work upon compensation for all hours worked in excess of 8 h ours per day at not less than 1 ½ times the basic rate of pay.

5. Crosstown Electrical & Data, Inc., Irwindale, CA $561,690
6. Comet Electric, Chatsworth, CA $577,038
7. KDC Inc., DBA Dynalectric, Los Alamitos, CA $640,922 The apparent low bid is approximately 1% lower than the engineer’sestimate. California Professional Engineering, Inc. has completed contracts of similar nature to this project in the past and was found to be a responsive and responsible bidder. Therefore, staff recommends that California Professional Engineering, Inc. be awarded the contract in the total amount of $452,113, representing an original amount of $411,012 plus a 10% contingency of $41,101, for the Steel Streetlight Replacement, Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Project. The remaining budget in the project will be used for construction management.
The City acquired 4,359 streetlight poles from Southern California Edison (SCE) in 2017. Of the acquired poles, 2,024 were steel poles of varying condition, some of which are connected by way of overhead electrical wires. As part of the SCE light pole acquisition, a portion of the annual savings has been programmed to identify and replace those steel poles whose condition have deteriorated over time.
Based on the ability to accumulate funding for more efficient use of said funds, we anticipate that the City will initiate pole replacement projects every two years. For this project, 22 poles were identified for replacement based on their physical condition and/or their location in proximity to parkway trees.
The existing steel streetlight poles will be replaced with City standard LED-retrofitted concrete poles and existing overhead wires will be relocated to underground conduits.
The proposed streetlight replacement project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA guidelines Section 15302, Class 2 “Replacementor Reconstruction”.The Notice of Exemption was filed with and posted by the County Recorder’s Office on May 20, 2022.
Construction is scheduled to begin in August 2022 and is expected to be completed within 80 calendar days.

7. KDC Inc., DBA Dynalectric, Los Alamitos, CA $640,922 The apparent low bid is approximately 1% lower than the engineer’sestimate. California Professional Engineering, Inc. has completed contracts of similar nature to this project in the past and was found to be a responsive and responsible bidder. Therefore, staff recommends that California Professional Engineering, Inc. be awarded the contract in the total amount of $452,113, representing an original amount of $411,012 plus a 10% contingency of $41,101, for the Steel Streetlight Replacement, Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Project. The remaining budget in the project will be used for construction management.
The City acquired 4,359 streetlight poles from Southern California Edison (SCE) in 2017. Of the acquired poles, 2,024 were steel poles of varying condition, some of which are connected by way of overhead electrical wires. As part of the SCE light pole acquisition, a portion of the annual savings has been programmed to identify and replace those steel poles whose condition have deteriorated over time.
Based on the ability to accumulate funding for more efficient use of said funds, we anticipate that the City will initiate pole replacement projects every two years. For this project, 22 poles were identified for replacement based on their physical condition and/or their location in proximity to parkway trees.
The existing steel streetlight poles will be replaced with City standard LED-retrofitted concrete poles and existing overhead wires will be relocated to underground conduits.
The proposed streetlight replacement project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA guidelines Section 15302, Class 2 “Replacementor Reconstruction”.The Notice of Exemption was filed with and posted by the County Recorder’s Office on May 20, 2022.
Construction is scheduled to begin in August 2022 and is expected to be completed within 80 calendar days.

A contractor shall be registered pursuant to this section to be qualified to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, subject to the requirements of Section 4104 of the Public Contract Code, or engage in the performance of any public work contract that is subject to the requirements of this chapter.

(1)(A) Register with the Department of Industrial Relations in the manner prescribed by the department and pay an initial nonrefundable application fee o f four hundred dollars ($400) to qualify for registration under this section and an annual renewal fee on or before July 1 of each year thereafter. The annual renewal fee shall be in a uniform amount set by the Director of Industrial Relations, and the initial registration and renewal fees may be adjusted no more than annually by the director to support the costs specified in Section 1771.3. (B) Beginning June 1, 2019, a contractor may register or renew according to this subdivision in annual increments up to three years from the date of registration. Contractors who wish to do so will be required to prepay the applicable nonrefundable application or renewal fees to qualify for the number of years for which they wish to preregister.
(2) Provide evidence, disclosures, or releases as are necessary to establish all of the following:
(A) Workers' compensation coverage that meets the requirements of Division 4 (commencing with Section 3200) and includes sufficient coverage for any worker whom the contractor employs to perform work that is subject to prevailing wage requirements other than a contractor who is separately registered under this section.
Coverage may be evidenced by a current and valid certificate of workers' compensation insurance or certification of self-insurance required under Section 7125 of the Business and Professions Code. (B) If applicable, the contractor is licensed in accordance with Chapter 9 (commencing with Section 7000) of the Business and Professions Code.
(C) The contractor does not have any delinquent liability to an employee or the state for any assessment of back wages or related damages, interest, fines, or penalties pursuant to any final judgment, order, or determination by a court or any federal, state, or local administrative agency, including a confirmed arbitration award. However, for purposes of this paragraph, the contractor shall not be disqualified for any judgment, order, or determination that is under appeal, provided that the contractor has secured th e payment of any amount eventually found due through a bond or other appropriate means. (D) The contractor is not currently debarred under Section 1777.1 or under any other federal or state law providing for the debarment of contractors from public works. (E) The contractor has not bid on a public works contract, been listed in a bid proposal, or engaged in the performance of a contract for public works without being lawfully registered in accordance with this section, within the preceding 12 months o r since the effective date of the requirements set forth in subdivision (e), whichever is earlier.

(c) A contractor who fails to pay the renewal fee required under paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) on or before the expiration of any prior period of registration shall be prohibited from bidding on or engaging in the performance of any contract for public work until once again registered pursuant to this section. If the failure to pay the renewal fee was inadvertent, the contractor may renew its registration retroactively by paying an additional nonrefundable penalty renewal fee equal to the amount of the renewal fee within 90 days of the due date of the renewal fee.
(d) If, after a body awarding a contract accepts the contractor's bid or awards the contract, the work covered by the bid or contract is determined to be a public work to which Section 1771 applies, either as the result of a determination by the director pursuant to Section 1773.5 or a court decision, the requirements of this section shall not apply, subject to the following requirements:
(1) The body that awarded the contract failed, in the bid specification or in the contract documents, to identify as a public work that portion of the work that the determination or decision subsequently classifies as a public work.
(2) Within 20 days following service of notice on the awarding body of a determination by the Director of Industrial Relations pursuant to Section 1773.5 or a decision by a court that the contract was for public work as defined in this chapter, the contractor and any subcontractors are registered under this section or are replaced by a contractor or subcontractors who are registered under this section. (3) The requirements of this section shall apply prospectively only to any subsequent bid, bid proposal, contract, or work performed after the awarding body is served with notice of the determination or decision referred to in paragraph (2).
(e) The requirements of this section shall apply to any bid proposal submitted on or after March 1, 2015, to any contract for public work, as defined in this chapter, executed on or after April 1, 2015, and to any work performed under a contract for public work on or after January 1, 2018, regardless of when the contract for public work was executed.

(e) Before 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 a fter 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 supplying 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 w hich the apprenticeship program operates if the contractor agrees to be bound by those standards. However, 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. When an hourly apprenticeship ratio is not feasible for a particular craft or trade, the Administrator 331
Attachment No. 1
of Apprenticeship, 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 who has agreed to be covered by an apprenticeship program's standards upon the issuance of the approval certificate, or who 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 A dministrator of Apprenticeship 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 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 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 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) If an exemption is granted pu rsuant 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 app renticeship 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)(A) At the conclusion of the 2002 -03 fiscal year and each fiscal year ther eafter, the California Apprenticeship Council shall distribute training contributions received by the council under this subdivision, less the expenses of the Department of Industrial Relations for administering this subdivision, by making grants to approved apprenticeship programs for the purpose of training apprentices. The grant funds shall be distributed as follows:
332
Attachment No. 1
(i) If there is an approved multiemployer apprenticeship program serving the same craft or trade and geographic area for which the trainin g contributions were made to the council, a grant to that program shall be made.
(ii) If there are two or more approved multiemployer apprenticeship programs serving the same craft or trade and county for which the training contributions were made to the c ouncil, the grant shall be divided among those programs based on the number of apprentices from that county registered in each program. (iii) All training contributions not distributed under clauses (i) and (ii) shall be used to defray the future expenses of the Department of Industrial Relations for the administration and enforcement of apprenticeship and preapprenticeship standards and requirements under this code. (B) An apprenticeship program shall only be eligible to receive grant funds pursuant to this subdivision if the apprenticeship program agrees, prior to the receipt of any grant funds, to keep adequate records that document the expenditure of grant funds and to make all records available to the Department of Industrial Relations so that the Depar tment of Industrial Relations is able to verify that grant funds were used s olely for training apprentices. For purposes of this subparagraph, adequate records include, but are not limited to, invoices, receipts, and canceled checks that account for the expenditure of grant funds. This subparagraph shall not be deemed to require an apprenticeship program to provide the Department of Industrial Relations with more documentation than is necessary to verify the appropriate expenditure of grant funds made pur suant to this subdivision.
(C) The Department of Industrial Relations shall verify that grants made pursuant to this subdivision are used solely to fund training apprentices. If an apprenticeship program is unable to demonstrate how grant funds are expended or if an apprenticeship program is found to be using grant funds for purposes other than training apprentices, then the apprenticeship program shall not be eligible to receive any future grant pursuant to this subdivision and the Department of Industrial Relations may initiate the process to rescind the registration of the apprenticeship program.
(3) All training contributions received pursuant to this subdivision shall be deposited in the Apprenticeship Training Contribution Fund, which is hereby create d in the State Treasury. Upon appropriation by the Legislature, all moneys in the Apprenticeship Training Contribution Fund shall be used for the purpose of carrying out this subdivision and to pay the expenses of the Department of Industrial Relations. (n) The body awarding the contract shall cause to be inserted in the contract stipulations to effectuate 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 general contractors or those specialty contractors involve less than thirty thousand dollars ($30,000). (p) An awarding body that implements an approved labor compliance program in accordance with subdivision (b) of Section 1771.5 may, with the approval of the director, assist in the enforcement of this section under the terms and conditions prescribed by the director.
Section 1813. Forfeiture for violations; contract stipulation; report of violations
The contractor or subcontractor shall, as a penalty to the state or political subdivision on who se behalf the contract is made or awarded, forfeit twenty- five dollars ($25) for each worker employed in the execution of 333
Attachment No. 1
the contract by the respective contractor or subcontractor for each calendar day during which the worker is required or permitted to work more than 8 hours in any one calendar day and 40 hours in any one calendar week in violation of the provisions of this article. In awarding any contract for public work, the awarding body shall cause to be inserted in the contract a stipulation to this effect. The awarding body shall take cognizance of all violations of this article committed in the course of the execution of the contract, and shall report them to the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement.
Section 1815. Overtime
Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 1810 to 1814, inclusive, of this code, and notwithstanding any stipulation inserted in any contract pursuant to the requirements of said sections, work performed by employees of contractors in excess of 8 hours per day, and 40 hours during any one week, shall be permitted upon public work upon compensation for all hours worked in excess of 8 h ours per day at not less than 1 ½ times the basic rate of pay.

audiovisual materials. For amounts over $5,000 for any one donation, staff will request Council accept the donation into revenue and appropriate the monies to the designated expenditure account.
For amounts of $5,000 and under, the City Manager has this authority. Rather than requesting Council approve an increase to the purchase order amount each time a donation is received, staff requests Council authorize the City Manager to approve any increases to the purchase order should the Library receive donations designated for the purchase of additional print and audiovisual materials.
Funds will purchase new books and audiovisual materials to meet public demand.
