Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The street segment of 34th Street from 5th Avenue to Truckee Way was adopted by the City Council as part of the FY2022/23 Resurfacing Plan (Resolution 2022-0142). This project was identified as an opportunity to bring the pavement condition of 34th Street to a state of good repair City of Sacramento Page 1 of 4

and incorporate active transportation and safety improvements.

The Project improvements incorporate recommendations from the Vision Zero School Safety Study prepared for Sacramento Charter High School, which include the construction of bulb-outs at W and X Streets, installation of a rectangular rapid flashing beacon at X Street, and restriping to add Class II bike lanes as shown in the Bikeway Master Plan. Resurfacing includes the placement of a Cape Seal over the entire roadway. Existing curb ramps along the project limits will be removed and replaced to meet current standards.

The Project Plans and Specifications for the 34th Street Rehabilitation Project were completed. See Attachments for project plans and contracts with specifications.

The 34th Street Rehabilitation Project was advertised on June 1, 2022, and two bids were received.

Staff recommends that the construction contract be awarded to the lowest and responsive bidder, Martin Brothers Construction.

Policy Considerations: The actions requested herein are consistent with the City’s goals of improving and expanding public safety and enhancing livability.

The recommendations in this report are in accordance with City Code Chapters 3.60 and 3.64, and City Code Section 4.04.020.

The Sacramento City Code Section 4.04.020 and the City Council Rules of Procedure (Chapter 7, Section E.2.d) mandate that unless waived by a 2/3 vote of the City Council, all labor agreements and all agreements greater than $1,000,000 shall be made available to the public at least ten (10) days prior to City Council action. This item was published for 10-day review on July 28, 2022, in compliance with the City Code.

Economic Impacts: This new infrastructure is expected to create 4.78 total jobs (2.75 direct jobs and 2.03 jobs through indirect and induced actives) and create $738,016 in total economic output ($465,177 of direct output and another $272,839 of output through indirect and induced activities).

The indicated economic impacts are estimates calculated using a calculation tool developed by the Center for Strategic Economic Research (CSER). CSER utilized the IMPLAN input-output model (2009 coefficients) to quantify the economic impacts of a hypothetical $1 million of spending in various construction categories within the City of Sacramento in an average one-year period. Actual impacts could differ significantly from the estimates and neither the City of Sacramento nor CSER shall be held responsible for consequences resulting from such differences.

Environmental Considerations:

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): The City of Sacramento Environmental Planning Services Division has reviewed the proposed 34th Street Rehabilitation Project and determined that it is exempt from the provisions of CEQA under the Categorical ExemptionCity of Sacramento Page 2 of 4 File ID: 2022-01350 8/9/2022 Consent Item 18.

State Class 1 & 3, for the operation, repair, or minor alteration of public streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle lanes, and similar facilities involving no expansion of use [15301(c)]. The project also consists of the construction, location, installation of new small equipment (15303).

There would be no significant effect on the environment.

Sustainability: The project is consistent with sustainability goals of promoting walking by developing a universally accessible, safe, convenient, integrated, and well-connected pedestrian system. Transportation is also responsible for 57% of Sacramento’s local greenhouse gas emissions, the single largest sector. Providing safe and bikeable transportation alternatives helps to reduce single-occupant vehicle use and contribute towards Sacramento’s climate change goals.

Commission/Committee Action: The 34th Street Rehabilitation Project will be presented to the Active Transportation Commission in August 2022.

Rationale for Recommendation: The 34th Street Rehabilitation Project was advertised, and a total of two bids were received on June 22, 2022. The results of the bids are summarized below:

Contractor Bid Amount LBE Requirement
(5% Goal)
Martin Brothers Construction $1,195,293.00 45.9%
McGuire & Hester $1,399,497.00 78.5%
The Engineer’s estimate was $1,307,390.

The City Council approval is required prior to initiating construction activities for the project.

Construction is anticipated to begin August 2022 and be completed November 2022.

Both bidders met all required bid conditions. Staff recommends that the construction contract be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Martin Brothers Construction.

Financial Considerations: The estimated total cost to complete design, construction activities and construction management for the 2021 Transportation Corridor Program-34th Street Rehabilitation Project (R15210000) is approximately $2.5 million. With the approval of the transfer of $2,100,000 (Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation, Fund 2036) from the expenditure budget of the 2020 Transportation Corridor Program (R15200000), there will be sufficient funding in the 2021 Transportation Corridor Program - 34th Street Rehabilitation Project (R15210000) to award construction contract to Martin Brothers Construction for an amount not to exceed $1,195,293; and to cover all other remaining 34th Street Rehabilitation Project related costs.

Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Martin Brothers Construction is an LBE. The contract award will comply with the LBE participation requirement goal of 5%. Martin Brothers pledged an LBE City of Sacramento Page 3 of 4

Labor Code Section 1771.1 (enacted by SB 854) provides that a contractor or subcontractor shall not 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 contract for public work, unless currently registered and qualified to perform public work pursuant to Labor Code Section 1725.5. Every bidding contractor shall list the contractor’s current DIR registration number, and the current DIR registration number of all listed subcontractors, on the Subcontractor and Local Business Enterprise (LBE) Participation Verification Form included in the contractor’s bid.

This contract also is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the DIR. For all contracts awarded on or after April 1, 2015, California Labor Code Section 1771.4 (enacted by SB 854) requires the contractor and all subcontractors to furnish electronic payroll records directly to the Labor Commissioner (in addition to City staff via the City’s electronic system).

A Fact Sheet summarizing the provisions of SB 854 is attached.

DIR Public Works Funding Legislation – SB 854 June 30, 2014 FACT SHEET – page 1
NEW PUBLIC WORKS CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION LAW [SB 854]

FACT SHEET
SB 854, a budget trailer bill that was signed into law on June 20, 2014, and became effective immediately, made several significant changes to laws pertaining to the administration and enforcement of prevailing wage requirements by the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). Among other things, SB 854 established a new public works contractor registration program to replace prior Compliance Monitoring Unit (CMU) and Labor Compliance Program (LCP) requirements for bond-funded and other specified public works projects. The fees collected through this new program will be used to fund all of DIR’s public works activities, including compliance monitoring and enforcement, the determination of prevailing wage rates, public works coverage determinations, and hearing enforcement appeals.

Essentials of public works contractor registration program:
• Contractors will be subject to a registration and annual renewal fee that has been set initially at $300. The fee is non-refundable and applies to all contractors and subcontractors who intend to bid or perform work on public works projects (as defined under the Labor Code).
• Contractors will apply and pay the fee online and must meet minimum qualifications to be registered as eligible to bid and work on public works projects:
o Must have workers’ compensation coverage for any employees and only use subcontractors who are registered public works contractors. o Must have Contractors State License Board license if applicable to trade. o Must have no delinquent unpaid wage or penalty assessments owed to any employee or enforcement agency.
o Must not be under federal or state debarment.
o Must not be in prior violation of this registration requirement once it becomes effective. However, for the first violation in a 12 month period, a contractor may still qualify for registration by paying an additional penalty. • The registration fee is not related to any project. It is more like a license that enables the registrant to bid on and perform public works.

DIR Public Works Funding Legislation – SB 854 June 30, 2014 FACT SHEET – page 2
• DIR will post a list of registered contractors and subcontractors on its website so that awarding bodies and contractors will be able to comply with requirements to only use registered contractors and subcontractors.
• Various protections are built in so that
o A contractor won’t be in violation for working on a private job that is later determined to be public work;
o The inadvertent listing of an unregistered subcontractor on a bid won’t necessarily invalidate that bid;
o A contract with an unregistered contractor or subcontractor is subject to cancellation but is not void as to past work;
o An unregistered contractor or subcontractor can be replaced with one who is registered;
o A contractor whose registration lapses will have a 90 day grace period within which to pay a late fee and renew.
• Registrations will begin after July 1, 2014, once the registration system is ready to go online. The preferred method of payment will be by credit card. • The requirement to list only registered contractors and subcontractors on bids becomes effective on March 1, 2015. The requirement to only use registered contractors and subcontractors on public works projects applies to all projects awarded on or after April 1, 2015.

Essentials of Public Works Enforcement Fund:

All contractor registration fees will go into the State Public Works Enforcement Fund and be used to fund the following items --
• administration of contractor registration requirement • all DIR costs for administering and enforcing public works laws • Labor Commissioner’s enforcement of other Labor Code violations on monitored public works projects.

DIR will no longer charge awarding bodies for prevailing wage compliance monitoring and enforcement by the CMU. (Note: DIR will continue to bill and collect fees from awarding agencies for CMU services provided through June 20, 2014.) DIR Public Works Funding Legislation – SB 854 June 30, 2014 FACT SHEET – page 3
Related changes in DIR’s administration and enforcement of public works requirements:
• Requirements to use CMU or specified alternative (labor compliance program or project labor agreement) for state bond-funded and other specified projects have been eliminated and replaced by requirements that apply to all public works projects (as defined under the Labor Code).
• Awarding bodies are now required to submit PWC-100 (contract award notice) for all public works projects. (This requirement previously applied to about 90% of all projects.)
• Contractors and subcontractors on all public works projects will be required to submit certified payroll records (CPRs) to the Labor Commissioner unless excused from this requirement.

O This requirement will be phased in as follows:
 Applies immediately to public works projects that have already been under CMU monitoring, i.e. contractors on ongoing projects that have been submitting CPRs to the CMU will continue doing so  Will apply to any new projects awarded on or after April 1, 2015  May apply to other projects as determined by Labor Commissioner  Will apply to all public works projects, new or ongoing, on and after January 1, 2016
O The Labor Commissioner may make exception to this requirement for  Projects covered by qualifying project labor agreement  Projects undertaken by one of four remaining awarding bodies with legacy LCPs (Caltrans, City of Los Angeles, County of Sacramento, and Los Angeles Unified School District), so long as those LCPs remain approved by DIR
O CPRs will be furnished online (as is done currently for CMU). DIR intends to continue making improvements to this process, including creating a means for general contractors to have online access to the CPRs submitted by their subcontractors.
• Requirements for awarding bodies to adopt and enforce a DIR-approved LCP are now limited to: (1) public works projects awarded prior to January 1, 2012 that were under a preexisting LCP requirement; and (2) projects funded in whole or in part by Proposition 84.

26 Ban‐the‐Box Requirements
BAN‐THE‐BOX REQUIREMENTS

INTRODUCTION
On September 6, 2016, the City of Sacramento enacted an ordinance regarding criminal conviction information in the employment application process (the “Ban‐the‐Box Ordinance”), which added Chapter 3.62 to the Sacramento City Code and amended Section 2.40.050 of the Sacramento City Code. The Ban‐the‐Box Ordinance prohibits “covered employers” from asking an applicant for employment to disclose, orally or in writing, information concerning the criminal conviction history of the applicant, including any inquiry about criminal conviction history on any employment application, until the employer has determined the applicant meets the minimum employment qualifications stated in any notice issued for the position.

APPLICATION
“City Contract”
The Ban‐the‐Box Ordinance applies to all “city contracts.” The term “city contract” means a contract awarded after January 1, 2017 to a “covered employer” for services or a public project in return for compensation of $250,000 or more. The term “city contract” includes contracts for services or public projects that were awarded for an amount less than $100,000, but were amended to increase the total compensation to $250,000 or more.

The Ban‐the‐Box Ordinance also applies when the aggregate value of all contracts for services or public projects the City has awarded to the same “covered employer” within the previous 12 months is $250,000 or more.

The Ban‐the‐Box Ordinance does not apply to: (1) contracts awarded by the City Manager in response to an emergency; and (2) contracts for the purchase or lease of equipment, supplies, or other personal property, even if they include incidental services such as delivery, installation, or maintenance. “Covered Employer”
The Ban‐the‐Box Ordinance only applies to “covered employers.” The term “covered employer” means a person who is a party to a “city contract” and has at least 20 employees working either full or part time. The number of employees that a contractor has is determined by adding the contractor’s employees and the employees of any “related person.” A person is a “related person” when any of the following circumstances exists:
(1) The person and the person that is a party to a “city contract” are both corporations and:
(a) Share a majority of members of their governing boards; or (b) Have two or more officers in common; or
(c) Are controlled by the same majority shareholder or shareholders (control means more than 50% of the corporation’s voting power); or
(d) Are in a parent‐subsidiary relationship (such a relationship exists when one corporation directly or indirectly owns shares possessing more than 50% of another corporation’s voting power). (2) The person otherwise controls and directs, or is controlled and directed by, the person that is a party to a city contract, as determined by the City Manager, or City Manager designee. 27 The term “covered employer” includes a subcontractor providing services under a “city contract” if the subcontractor has at least 20 employees, whether full‐ or part‐time, or the amount of the subcontract is at least 25% of the amount of the “city contract.”
The term “covered employer” does not include any unit of federal, state or local government.

Exceptions
The Ban‐the‐Box Ordinance provisions do not apply to: (1) a position for which a “covered employer” is otherwise required by law to conduct a criminal conviction history background check; or (2) a position that will not involve work pursuant to a “city contract.” Additionally, the Ban‐the‐Box Ordinance does not prevent a “covered employer” from conducting a criminal conviction history background check in subsequent stages of the application process after initially determining whether the applicant meets the minimum employment qualifications.

COMPLIANCE
It isthe contractor’sresponsibility to determine whether the aggregate value of $100,000 or more has been met, and to notify the City in writing whenever this is the case. It is also the contractor’s responsibility to ensure that all of its subcontractors who are covered by the Ban‐the‐Box Ordinance comply with the provisions of the Ban‐ the‐Box Ordinance by including these requirements in all subcontracts covered by the Ban‐the‐Box Ordinance.

VIOLATIONS AND MONITORING
The Ban‐the‐Box Ordinance provides that any violation of the Ban‐the‐Box Ordinance by a “covered employer” constitutes a material breach of the contract, and authorizes the City to terminate the contract. The City may also enforce the Ban‐the‐Box Ordinance by investigating any alleged violation (but any failure of the City to investigate does not create a right of action against the City). The City may further require “covered employers” to verify compliance.

DECLARATION OF COMPLIANCE
To assure compliance with the Ban‐the‐Box Ordinance, any person or entity entering into a contract to provide services or a public project to or for the City, after January, 1, 2017, is required to provide the City with a signed Declaration of Compliance in the form specified by the City prior to the City’s execution of the contract. The Declaration of Compliance shall be signed by a duly authorized representative of the person or entity entering into the contract, and when accepted by the City, shall constitute part of the contract.

Assembly Bill 626 (AB 626), signed into law September 29, 2016, established a new claim resolution process for public works project contracts entered into on or after January 1, 2017.

AB 626 is codified in Section 9204 of the California Public Contract Code. Section 9204 remains in effect until January 1, 2020, and as of that date will be repealed unless another statute extends or deletes this sunset date.

Public Contract Code Section 9204 applies to any “claim,” as defined in Section 9204, which is presented by the Contractor to the City. Section 9204 defines a “claim” as a separate demand by the Contractor sent by registered mail or certified mail with return receipt requested, for one or more of the following: (1) a time extension, including, without limitation, for relief from damages or penalties for delay assessed by the City; (2) payment by the City of money or damages arising from work done by, or on behalf of, the Contractor pursuant to the Contract and payment for which is not otherwise expressly provided or to which the claimant is not otherwise entitled; or (3) payment of an amount that is disputed by the City.

If Contractor presents a claim to the City in accordance with the provisions of Public Contract Code Section 9204 (hereafter referred to as a “Claim”), the process specified in Section 9204 will be followed, and the provisions of Section 4-8 (Disputed Claims) and Section 4-9 (Review by Claim Review Committee and Issuance of Decision by Department Director) of the City’s Standard Specifications for Public Construction will not apply to the Claim. Contractor’s Claim shall comply with the provisions of Section 4-7 (Notice of Claims for Additional Compensation or Damages) of the City’s Standard Specifications or Contractor shall give a separate written notice of potential claim that complies with the requirements specified in Section 4-7, except in any case where compliance with the requirements specified in Section 4-7 would conflict with Public Contract Code Section 9204.

Subsection (e) of Public Contract Code Section 9204 requires that the text of Section 9204 or a summary be set forth in the plans or specifications for any public works project that may give rise to a claim under Section 9204.

Upon receipt of a claim, a public entity and a contractor may, by mutual agreement, extend the time period provided in this subdivision. (B) The claimant shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim. (C) If the public entity needs approval from its governing body to provide the claimant a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion of the claim, and the governing body does not meet within the 45 days or within the mutually agreed to extension of time following receipt of a claim sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the public entity shall have up to three days following the next duly publicly noticed meeting of the governing body after the 45-day period, or extension, expires to provide the 4 claimant a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion.
(D) Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within 60 days after the public entity issues its written statement. If the public entity fails to issue a written statement, paragraph (3) shall apply. (2) (A) If the claimant disputes the public entity’s written response, or if the public entity fails to respond to a claim issued pursuant to this section within the time prescribed, the claimant may demand in writing an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute.

(B) Within 10 business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer conference, if the claim or any portion of the claim remains in dispute, the public entity shall provide the claimant a written statement identifying the portion of the claim that remains in dispute and the portion that is undisputed. Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within 60 days after the public entity issues its written statement. Any disputed portion of the claim, as identified by the contractor in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation, with the public entity and the claimant sharing the associated costs equally. The public entity and claimant shall mutually agree to a mediator within 10 business days after the disputed portion of the claim has been identified in writing. If the parties cannot agree upon a mediator, each party shall select a mediator and those mediators shall select a qualified neutral third party to mediate with regard to the disputed portion of the claim. Each party shall bear the fees and costs charged by its respective mediator in connection with the selection of the neutral mediator. If mediation is unsuccessful, the parts of the claim remaining in dispute shall be subject to applicable procedures outside this section.
(C) For purposes of this section, mediation includes any nonbinding process, including, but not limited to, neutral evaluation or a dispute review board, in which an independent third party or board assists the parties in dispute resolution through negotiation or by issuance of an evaluation. Any mediation utilized shall conform to the timeframes in this section. 5 (D) Unless otherwise agreed to by the public entity and the contractor in writing, the mediation conducted pursuant to this section shall excuse any further obligation under Section 20104.4 to mediate after litigation has been commenced.
(E) This section does not preclude a public entity from requiring arbitration of disputes under private arbitration or the Public Works Contract Arbitration Program, if mediation under this section does not resolve the parties’ dispute. (3) Failure by the public entity to respond to a claim from a contractor within the time periods described in this subdivision or to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section shall result in the claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A claim that is denied by reason of the public entity’s failure to have responded to a claim, or its failure to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section, shall not constitute an adverse finding with regard to the merits of the claim or the responsibility or qualifications of the claimant. (4) Amounts not paid in a timely manner as required by this section shall bear interest at 7 percent per annum.
(5) If a subcontractor or a lower tier subcontractor lacks legal standing to assert a claim against a public entity because privity of contract does not exist, the contractor may present to the public entity a claim on behalf of a subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor. A subcontractor may request in writing, either on his or her own behalf or on behalf of a lower tier subcontractor, that the contractor present a claim for work which was performed by the subcontractor or by a lower tier subcontractor on behalf of the subcontractor. The subcontractor requesting that the claim be presented to the public entity shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim. Within 45 days of receipt of this written request, the contractor shall notify the subcontractor in writing as to whether the contractor presented the claim to the public entity and, if the original contractor did not present the claim, provide the subcontractor with a statement of the reasons for not having done so.
(e) The text of this section or a summary of it shall be set forth in the plans or specifications for any public works project that may give rise to a claim under this section.
(f) A waiver of the rights granted by this section is void and contrary to public policy, provided, however, that (1) upon receipt of a claim, the parties may mutually agree to waive, in writing, mediation and proceed directly to the 6 commencement of a civil action or binding arbitration, as applicable; and (2) a public entity may prescribe reasonable change order, claim, and dispute resolution procedures and requirements in addition to the provisions of this section, so long as the contractual provisions do not conflict with or otherwise impair the timeframes and procedures set forth in this section. (g) This section applies to contracts entered into on or after January 1, 2017. (h) Nothing in this section shall impose liability upon a public entity that makes loans or grants available through a competitive application process, for the failure of an awardee to meet its contractual obligations. (i) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2020, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2020, deletes or extends that date.

ORDINANCE

INTRODUCTION
The Sacramento Non-Discrimination In Employee Benefits By City Contractors Ordinance (the “Ordinance”), codified as Sacramento City Code Chapter 3.54, prohibits City contractors from discriminating in the provision of employee benefits between employees with spouses and employees with domestic partners, and between the spouses and domestic partners of employees.

APPLICATION
The provisions of the Ordinance apply to any contract or agreement (as defined below), between a Contractor and the City of Sacramento, in an amount exceeding $25,000.00. The Ordinance applies to that portion of a contractor’s operations that occur: (i) within the City of Sacramento; (ii) on real property outside the City of Sacramento if the property is owned by the City or if the City has a right to occupy the property; or (iii) at any location where a significant amount of work related to a City contract is being performed. The provisions apply only to those employee(s) actually working on the City contract and only for the actual amount of time the employee(s) spend working on such contract.

The Ordinance does not apply: to subcontractors or subcontracts of any Contractor or contractors; to transactions entered into pursuant to cooperative purchasing agreements approved by the Sacramento City Council; to legal contracts of other governmental jurisdictions or public agencies without separate competitive bidding by the City; where the requirements of the ordinance will violate or are inconsistent with the terms or conditions of a grant, subvention or agreement with a public agency or the instructions of an authorized representative of any such agency with respect to any such grant, subvention or agreement; to contracts for excavation or street construction; or to agreements for the use of City right-of-way where a contracting utility has the power of eminent domain.

DEFINITIONS

The above named contractor (“Contractor”) hereby declares and agrees as follows:

1. I have read and understand the Non-Discrimination In Employee Benefits By City Contractors Ordinance (“Ordinance”) provided to me by the City of Sacramento (“City”) in connection with the City’s request for proposals or other solicitations for the performance of services, or for the provision of commodities, under a City contract or agreement (“Contract”).

2. As a condition of receiving the City Contract, I agree to fully comply with the requirements of the Ordinance, codified as Chapter 3. 54 of the Sacramento City Code.

3. If the face amount of this City Contract is less than $100,000.00 as a condition of receiving this Contract, I agree to notify the City in writing if the aggregate value of the City Contract referenced herein, after changes, modifications, or similar actions, equals or exceeds $100,000.00 in total value.

4. I understand, to the extent that such benefits are not preempted or prohibited by federal or state law, employee benefits covered by the Ordinance, are any of the following:
a. Bereavement Leave
b. Disability, life, and other types of insurance
c. Family medical leave
d. Health benefits
e. Membership or membership discounts
f. Moving expenses

I agree that should I offer any of the above listed employee benefits, that I will offer those benefits, without discrimination between employees with spouses and employees with domestic partners, and without discrimination between the spouses and domestic partners of such employees.

5. I understand that I will not be considered to be discriminating in the provision or application of employee benefits under the following conditions or circumstances:
a. In the event that the actual cost of providing a benefit to a domestic partner or spouse, exceeds the cost of providing the same benefit to a spouse or domestic partner of an employee, I will not be required to provide the benefit, nor shall it be deemed discriminatory, if I require the employee to pay the monetary difference in order to provide the benefit to

Page 3 of 7 ends

the domestic partner or to the spouse.
b. In the event I am unable to provide a certain benefit, despite taking reasonable measures to do so, if I provide the employee with a cash equivalent, I will not be deemed to be discriminating in the application of that benefit.
c. If I provide employee benefits neither to employee’s spouses nor to employee’s domestic partners.
d. If I provide employee benefits to employees on a basis unrelated to marital or domestic partner status.
e. If I submit, to the Program Coordinator, written evidence of making reasonable efforts to end discrimination in employee benefits by implementing policies which are to be enacted before the first effective date after the first open enrollment process following the date the Contract is executed with the City.

I understand that any delay in the implementation of such policies may not exceed one (1) year from the date the Contract is executed with the City, and applies only to those employee benefits for which an open enrollment process is applicable.
f. Until administrative steps can be taken to incorporate, in the infrastructure, nondiscrimination in employee benefits
The time allotted for these administrative steps will apply only to those employee benefits for which administrative steps are necessary and may not exceed three (3) months from the date the Contract is executed with the City. g. Until the expiration of a current collective bargaining agreement(s) where, in fact, employee benefits are governed by a collective bargaining agreement(s). h. I take all reasonable measures to end discrimination in employee benefits by either requesting the union(s) involved agree to reopen the agreement(s) in order for me to take whatever steps are necessary to end discrimination in employee benefits or by my ending discrimination in employee benefits without reopening the collective bargaining agreement(s). i. In the event I cannot end discrimination in employee benefits despite taking all reasonable measures to do so, I provide a cash equivalent to eligible employees for whom employee benefits (as listed previously), are not available.

Unless otherwise authorized in writing by the City Manager, I understand this cash equivalent must begin at the time the union(s) refuse to allow the collective bargaining agreement(s) to be reopened or no longer than three (3) months from the date the Contract is executed with the City.

6. I understand that failure to comply with the provisions of Section 5. (a) through

4. (i), above, will subject me to possible suspension and/or termination of this Contract for cause; repayment of any or all of the Contract amount disbursed by the City; debarment for future contracts until all penalties and restitution have been paid in full; deemed ineligible for future contracts for up to two (2) years; the imposition of a penalty, payable to the City, in the sum of $50.00 for each employee,

Page 4 of 7 ends

for each calendar day during which the employee was discriminated against in violation of the provisions of the Ordinance.

7. I understand and do hereby agree to provide each current employee and, within ten (10) days of hire, each new employee, of their rights under the Ordinance. I further agree to maintain a copy of each such letter provided, in an appropriate file for possible inspection by an authorized representative of the City. I also agree to prominently display a poster informing each employee of these rights.

8. I understand that I have the right to request an exemption to the benefit provisions of the Ordinance when such a request is submitted to the Procurement Services Division, in writing with sufficient justification for resolution, prior to contract award.

I further understand that the City may request a waiver or exemption to the provisions or requirements of the Ordinance, when only one contractor is available to enter into a contract or agreement to occupy and use City property on terms and conditions established by the City; when sole source conditions exist for goods, services, public project or improvements and related construction services; when there are no responsive bidders to the EBO requirements and the contract is for essential goods or services; when emergency conditions with public health and safety implications exist; or when the contract is for specialized legal services if in the best interest of the City.

9. In consideration of the foregoing, I shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless, the City, its officers and employees, against any claims, actions, damages, costs (including reasonable attorney fees), or other liabilities of any kind arising from any violation of the City’s Equal Benefits Requirements or of the Ordinance by me.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct, and that I am authorized to bind the Contractor to the provisions of this Declaration.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS QUESTIONNAIRE
Sacramento City Code Section 3.60.020 authorizes the Sacramento City Council to adopt standard minimum qualifications for bidders on competitively bid public works construction projects, and requires, among other provisions, that a bidder meet such minimum qualifications at the time of bid opening in order to bid. On July 31, 2007, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2007-574 establishing these standard minimum qualifications. Pursuant to City Code section 3.60.020, a bidder failing to meet these minimum qualifications at the time of bid opening shall not be considered a responsible bidder for purposes of bidding on the subject project.

All bidders must demonstrate compliance with the minimum qualifications established by Resolution No. 2007-574 by completing all of the questions contained in this questionnaire. Bidder responses shall be limited to those operating business units, offices, branches and/or subsidiary divisions of the bidder that will be involved with the performance of any project work if awarded the contract. If a bidder answers “yes” to any single question, fails to submit a fully completed questionnaire, or submits false information, this will result in a determination that the minimum qualifications are not met, and the bidder shall not be considered a qualified bidder for purposes of bidding on this contract. If two or more entities submit a bid on a contract as a Joint Venture, each entity within the Joint Venture must separately meet these minimum qualifications for the Joint Venture to be considered a qualified bidder.

The City of Sacramento (“City”) shall make its determination on the basis of the submitted questionnaire, as well as any relevant information that is obtained from others or as a result of investigation by the City. While it is the intent of this questionnaire to assist the City in determining whether bidders possess the minimum qualifications necessary to submit bids on the City’s competitively bid public works construction contracts, the fact that a bidder submits a questionnaire demonstrating that it meets these minimum qualifications shall not in any way limit or affect the City’s ability to: (1) review other information contained in the bid submitted by the bidder, and additional relevant information, and determine whether the contractor is a responsive and/or responsible bidder; or (2) establish pre-qualification requirements for a specific contract or contracts.

By submitting this questionnaire, the bidder consents to the disclosure of its questionnaire answers: (i) to third parties for purposes of verification and investigation; (ii) in connection with any protest, challenge or appeal of any action taken by the City; and (iii) as required by any law or regulation, including without limitation the California Public Records Act (Calif. Gov’t Code sections 6250 et seq.). Each questionnaire must be signed under penalty of perjury in the manner designated at the end of the form, by an individual who has the legal authority to bind the bidder submitting the questionnaire. If any information provided by a bidder becomes inaccurate, the bidder shall immediately notify the City and provide updated accurate information in writing, under penalty of perjury.

If, on completion or termination of the Contract, sums due Contractor are insufficient to pay City's charges, City shall have the right to recover the balance from Contractor or its Sureties.

8. COMMENCEMENT AND PROSECUTION OF WORK
Contractor shall commence the Work not later than fifteen (15) working days after the date of the written Notice to Proceed from City to Contractor and shall diligently prosecute the Work to final completion.

9. TIME OF COMPLETION
The entire Work shall be brought to completion in the manner provided for in the Contract Documents on or before 60 WORKING DAYS from the date of the Notice to Proceed (hereinafter called the “Completion Date”) unless extensions of time are granted in accordance with the Contract Documents.

Failure to complete the entire Work by the Completion Date and in the manner provided for in the Contract Documents shall subject Contractor to liquidated damages as provided in this Agreement. Time is and shall be of the essence in the performance of the Contract and the Work.

10. PAYMENTS DO NOT IMPLY ACCEPTANCE OF WORK
The payment of any progress payment, or the acceptance thereof by Contractor, shall not constitute acceptance of the Work or any portion thereof and shall in no way reduce the liability of Contractor to replace unsatisfactory work or material, whether or not the Form approved by City Attorney 1-11-17 5
unsatisfactory character of such work or material was apparent or detected at the time such payment was made.

11. ACCEPTANCE NOT RELEASE
Contractor shall correct immediately any defective or imperfect work or materials that may be discovered before final acceptance of the entire Work, whether or not such defect or imperfection was previously noticed or identified by the City. The inspection of the Work, or any part thereof, shall not relieve Contractor of any of its obligations to perform satisfactory work as herein specified.

Failure or neglect on the part of City or any of its officers, employees or authorized agents to discover, identify, condemn or reject defective or imperfect work or materials shall not be construed to imply an acceptance of such work or materials, if such defect or imperfection becomes evident at any time prior to final acceptance of the entire Work, nor shall such failure or neglect be construed as barring City from enforcing Contractor’s warranty(ies) or otherwise recovering damages or such a sum of money as may be required to repair or rebuild the defective or imperfect work or materials whenever City may discover the same, subject only to any statutes of limitation that may apply to any such claim.

12. CITY'S RIGHT TO TAKE POSSESSION OF THE WORK IN WHOLE OR IN PART The City shall have the right at any time to enter upon the Work and perform work not covered by this Contract, or to occupy and use a portion of the Work, prior to the date of the final acceptance of the Work as a whole, without in any way relieving Contractor of any obligations under this Contract.

13. NO WAIVER OF REMEDIES
Neither the inspection by City, its officers, employees or agents, nor any certificate or other approval for the payment of money, nor any payment for, nor acceptance of the whole or any part of the Work by City, nor any extensions of time, nor any position taken by City, its officers, employees or its agents shall operate as a waiver of any provision of the Contract Documents nor of any power herein reserved to City or any right to damages herein provided, nor shall any waiver of any breach of this Agreement be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. All remedies provided in the Contract Documents shall be taken and construed as cumulative; in addition to each and every other remedy herein provided, the City shall have any and all equitable and legal remedies that it would in any case have.

14. WARRANTY
Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Contract Documents, and excepting only items of routine maintenance, ordinary wear and tear and unusual abuse or neglect by City, Contractor warrants and guarantees all Work executed and all supplies, materials and devices of whatsoever nature incorporated in or attached to the Work, or otherwise provided as a part of the Work pursuant to the Contract, to be absolutely free of all defects of workmanship and materials for a period of one year after final acceptance of the entire Work by the City.

Form approved by City Attorney 1-11-17 6
Contractor shall repair or replace all work or material, together with any other work or material that may be displaced or damaged in so doing, that may prove defective in workmanship or material within this one year warranty period without expense or charge of any nature whatsoever to City.

In the event that Contractor shall fail to comply with the conditions of the foregoing warranty within ten (10) days after being notified of the defect in writing, City shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to repair, or obtain the repair of, the defect and Contractor shall pay to City on demand all costs and expense of such repair. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that any defect in workmanship or material covered by the foregoing warranty results in a condition that constitutes an immediate hazard to public health or safety, or any property interest, or any person, City shall have the right to immediately repair, or cause to be repaired, such defect, and Contractor shall pay to City on demand all costs and expense of such repair. The foregoing statement relating to hazards to health, safety or property shall be deemed to include both temporary and permanent repairs that may be required as determined in the sole discretion and judgment of City.

In addition to the above, the Contractor shall make a written assignment of all manufacturer’s and other product warranties to the City, prior to completion and final acceptance of the Work by City.

The Contractor’s Performance Bond shall secure the performance of the Contractor’s obligations under this Section 14, and the Contractor and its Surety shall be jointly and severally liable for these obligations.

15. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IF WORK NOT COMPLETED ON TIME
A. The actual fact of the occurrence of damages and the actual amount of the damages that City would suffer if the entire Work, and/or any specified portion thereof, were not completed within the time(s) specified herein are dependent upon many circumstances and conditions that could prevail in various combinations, and for this reason, it is impracticable and extremely difficult to fix the actual damages. Damages that City would suffer in the event of such delay include: loss of the use of the project; expenses of prolonged assignment to the project of an architectural and/or engineering staff; prolonged costs of administration, inspection, and supervision; increased operational expenses and/or impaired operation of other facilities dependent upon completion of the project; and the loss and inconvenience suffered by the public within the City of Sacramento by reason of the delay in the completion of the project or portion thereof. Accordingly, the parties agree, and by execution of this Agreement, Contractor acknowledges that it understands and agrees, that the amount(s) set forth herein as liquidated damages reflect the parties’ best efforts at the time of entering into the Contract to estimate the damages that may be incurred by City and the public due to the Contractor’s delay in completion of the Work and/or any specified portion thereof, and shall be presumed to be the amount of damages sustained by the failure of Contractor to complete the entire Work and/or any specified portion thereof within the time(s) specified herein.

Form approved by City Attorney 1-11-17 7
B. Contractor shall pay liquidated damages to City for failure to complete the entire Work by the Completion Date (as extended in accordance with the Contract Documents, if applicable) in the amount of $4,000.00 for each calendar day after the Completion Date (as extended in accordance with the Contract Documents, if applicable), continuing to the time at which the entire Work is completed. Such amount is the actual cash value agreed upon by the City and Contractor as the loss to City and the public resulting from Contractor's default. The parties agree, and by execution of this Agreement, Contractor acknowledges that it understands and agrees, that the foregoing provisions provide for the imposition of liquidated damages from the Completion Date (as extended in accordance with the Contract Documents, if applicable) until the date of completion of the entire Work as determined by the Engineer in accordance with Section
8-4 of the Standard Specifications, whether or not the Work or any portion thereof is claimed or determined to be substantially complete prior to such date of completion.

C. In the event Contractor shall become liable for liquidated damages, City, in addition to all other remedies provided by law, shall have the right to withhold any and all payments that otherwise would be or become due Contractor until the liability of Contractor under this section is finally determined. City shall have the right to use and apply such payments, in whole or in part, to reimburse City for all liquidated damages due orto become due to City. Any remaining balance ofsuch payments shall be paid to Contractor only after discharge in full of all liability incurred by Contractor under this section or otherwise under any provision of the Contract Documents or any applicable Law or Regulation. If the sum so retained by City is not sufficient to discharge all such liabilities of Contractor, Contractor shall continue to remain liable to City until all such liabilities are satisfied in full. No failure by City to withhold any payment as specified above shall in any manner be construed to constitute a release of any such liabilities nor a waiver of the City’s right to withhold payment for such liabilities.

16. INDEMNITY AND HOLD HARMLESS
A. Contractor shall defend, hold harmless and indemnify the City, its officers, employees, and agents, and each and every one of them, from and against any and all actions, damages, costs, liabilities, claims, demands, losses, judgments, penalties, costs and expenses of every type and description, whether arising on or off the site of the Work, including, but not limited to, any fees and/or costs reasonably incurred by City’s staff attorneys or outside attorneys and any fees and expenses incurred in enforcing this provision (hereafter collectively referred to as “Liabilities”), including but not limited to Liabilities arising from personal injury or death, damage to personal, real or intellectual property or the environment, contractual or other economic damages, or regulatory penalties, arising out of or in any way connected with performance of or failure to perform the Work by the Contractor, any subcontractor or agent, anyone directly or indirectly employed by Form approved by City Attorney 1-11-17 8
any of them or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, whether or not (i) such Liabilities are caused in part by a party indemnified hereunder, or (ii) such Liabilities are litigated, settled or reduced to judgment; provided that the foregoing indemnity does not apply to liability for damages for death or bodily injury to persons, injury to property, or other loss, damage or expense to the extent arising from (i) the sole negligence or willful misconduct of, or defects in design furnished by, City, its agents, servants, or independent contractors who are directly responsible to City, or (ii) the active negligence of City.

B. The existence or acceptance by City of any of the insurance policies or coverages described in this Agreement shall not affect or limit any of City’s rights under this Section 16, nor shall the limits of such insurance limit the liability of Contractor hereunder. The provisions of this Section 16 shall survive any expiration or termination of the Contract.

17. CONTRACTOR SHALL ASSUME RISKS
Until the completion and final acceptance by City of all Work under this Contract, the Work shall be under Contractor's responsible care and charge, and Contractor, at no cost to City, shall rebuild, repair, restore and make good all injuries, damages, re-erections, and repairs occasioned or rendered necessary by accidental causes of any nature, to all or any portions of the Work.

18. GENERAL LIABILITY OF CONTRACTOR
Except as otherwise herein expressly stipulated, Contractor shall perform all the Work and furnish all the labor, materials, tools, equipment, apparatus, facilities, transportation, power and light, and appliances, necessary or proper for performing and completing the Work herein required in the manner and within the time herein specified.

21. EXCUSABLE DELAYS
For the purpose of these Contract Documents, the term "Excusable Delay" shall mean, and is limited to, delay caused directly by: acts of God; acts of a public enemy; fires; inclement weather as determined by the Engineer; riots; insurrections; epidemics; quarantine restrictions; strikes; lockouts; sitdowns; acts of a governmental agency; priorities or privileges established for the manufacture, assemble, or allotment of materials necessary in the Work by order, decree or otherwise of the United States or by any department, bureau, commission, committee, agent, or administrator of any legally constituted public authority; changes in the Work ordered by City insofar as they necessarily require additional time in which to complete the Work; the prevention of Contractor from commencing or prosecuting the Work because of the acts of others, excepting Contractor's subcontractors or suppliers; or the prevention of Contractor from commencing or prosecuting the Work because of a Citywide failure of public utility service.

The term "Excusable Delay" shall specifically not include: (i) any delay that could have been avoided by the exercise of care, prudence, foresight and diligence on the part of Contractor; (ii) any delay in the prosecution of any part of the Work that does not constitute a Controlling Operation, whether or not such delay is unavoidable; (iii) any reasonable delay resulting from time required by City for review of any Contractor submittals and for the making of surveys, measurements and inspection; and, (iv) any delay arising from an interruption in the prosecution of the Work on account of reasonable interference by other Contractors employed by City that does not necessarily prevent the completion of the entire Work within the time specified. Excusable Delays, if any, shall operate only to extend the Completion Date (not in excess of the period of such delay as determined by City) and shall not under any circumstances increase the amount City is required to pay Contractor except as otherwise provided in these Contract Documents.

22. CONTRACTOR TO SERVE NOTICE OF DELAYS
Whenever Contractor foresees any delay in the prosecution of the Work, and in any event as soon as possible (not to exceed a period of ten (10) calendar days) after the initial occurrence of any delay that Contractor regards as or may later claim to be an Excusable Delay, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer in writing of such delay and its cause, in order that the Engineer: (i) may take immediate steps to prevent if possible the occurrence or continuance of the delay; or (ii) if this cannot be done, may determine whether the delay is to be Form approved by City Attorney 1-11-17 13
considered excusable, how long it continues, and to what extent the prosecution and completion of the Work are delayed thereby. Said written notice shall constitute an application for an extension of time only if the notice requests such an extension and sets forth the Contractor's estimate of the additional time required together with a full description of the cause of the delay relied upon.

After the completion of any part or whole of the Work, the Engineer, in estimating the amount due Contractor, will assume that any and all delays that may have occurred in its prosecution and completion were not Excusable Delays, except for such delays for which the Contractor has provided timely written notice as required herein, and that the Engineer has found to be excusable. Contractor shall not be entitled to claim Excusable Delay for any delay for which the Contractor failed to provide such timely written notice.

23. EXTENSION OF TIME
If the Contractor complies with Section 22, above, and the Engineer finds a delay claimed by the Contractor to be an Excusable Delay, the Contractor shall be allowed an extension of time to complete the Work that is proportional to the period of Excusable Delay determined by the Engineer, subject to the approval by City of a change order granting such time extension.

During a duly authorized extension for an Excusable Delay, City shall not charge liquidated damages against the Contractor for such delay.

If the City extends the time to complete the Work as provided herein, such extension shall in no way release any warranty or guarantee given by Contractor pursuant to the provisions of the Contract Documents, nor shall such extension of time relieve or release the sureties of the Bonds provided pursuant to the Contract Documents. By executing such Bonds, the Sureties shall be deemed to have expressly agreed to any such extension of time. The granting of any extension of time as provided herein shall in no way operate as a waiver on the part of City of its rights under this Contract, excepting only extension of the Completion Date for such period of Excusable Delay as may be determined by the Engineer and approved by a duly authorized change order.

24. NO PAYMENT FOR DELAYS
No damages or compensation of any kind shall be paid to Contractor or any subcontractor because of delays in the progress of the Work whether or not such delays qualify for extension of time under this Agreement; except that this provision shall not preclude the recovery of damages for a delay caused by the City that is unreasonable under the circumstances and that is not within the contemplation of the parties, provided that the Contractor timely submits all such written notice(s) and fully complies with such other procedures as may be specified in the Contract Documents or any Laws or Regulations for Contractor to claim damages for such delay.

25. CHANGES IN THE WORK
Changes in the Work authorized or directed in accordance with the Contract Documents and extensions of time of completion made necessary by reason thereof shall not in any way Form approved by City Attorney 1-11-17 14
release any warranty or guarantee given by Contractor pursuant to the provisions of the Contract Documents, nor shall such changes in the Work relieve or release the Sureties on Bonds provided pursuant to the Contract Documents. By executing such Bonds, the Sureties shall be deemed to have expressly agreed to any such change in Work and to any extension of time made by reason thereof.

26. TERMINATION AFTER COMPLETION DATE
In addition to any other rights City may have, if any services or work required under the Contract (including but not limited to punch list items) are not completed as of the Completion Date (as adjusted by any extensions of time for Excusable Delays granted pursuant to the Contract Documents), City may terminate the Contract at any time after the Completion Date ( as adjusted by any extensions of time for Excusable Delays granted pursuant to the Contract Documents), by providing a written notice to Contractor specifying the date of termination. Such notice also may specify conditions or requirements that Contractor must meet to avoid termination of the Contract on such date. If Contractor fails to fulfill all such conditions and requirements by such termination date, or, if no such conditions or requirements are specified, Contractor shall cease rendering services and performing work on such termination date, and shall not be entitled to receive any compensation for services rendered or work performed after such termination date. In the event of such termination, Contractor shall remain liable to City for liquidated damages incurred for any period of time prior to the termination date.

In addition to any other charges, withholdings or deductions authorized under the Contract or any Laws or Regulations, if City terminates the Contract pursuant to this section, City may withhold and deduct from any payment and/or retention funds otherwise due Contractor any sum necessary to pay the City's cost of completing or correcting, or contracting for the completion or correction of, any services or work under the Contract that are not completed to the satisfaction of the City or that otherwise are deficient or require correction as of such termination date, including but not limited to incomplete punch list items. Such costs shall include all of the City’s direct and indirect costs incurred to complete or correct such services or work, including the City’s administrative and overhead costs. If the amount of payment(s) and/or retention funds otherwise due the Contractor are insufficient to pay such costs, City shall have the right to recover the balance of such costs from the Contractor and/or its Surety(ies).

27. TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE
Upon written notice to the Contractor, the City may at any time, without cause and without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the City, elect to terminate the Contract for the convenience of City. In such case, the Contractor shall be paid (without duplication of any items, and after deduction and/or withholding of any amounts authorized to be deducted or withheld by the Contract Documents or any Laws or Regulations):

A. For Work executed in accordance with the Contract Documents prior to the effective date of termination and determined to be acceptable by the Engineer, including fair and reasonable sums for overhead and profit on such Work; Form approved by City Attorney 1-11-17 15
B. For reasonable claims, costs, losses, and damages incurred in settlement of terminated contracts with subcontractors, suppliers, and others; and C. For reasonable expenses directly attributable to termination.

Contractor shall not be paid for any loss of anticipated profits or revenue for any Work not performed prior to termination, nor for any economic loss arising out of or resulting from such termination, except for the payments listed in this section. Contractor’s warranty under Section 14 of this Agreement shall apply, and Contractor shall remain responsible for all obligations related to such warranty, with respect to all portions of the Work performed prior to the effective date of the termination for convenience pursuant to this section. The City shall be entitled to have any or all remaining Work performed by other contractors or by any other means at any time after the effective date of a termination for convenience pursuant to this section.

28. TERMINATION FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT
If Contractor abandons the Work under this Contract, or if the Contract or any portion of the Contract is sublet or assigned without the consent of the City, or if the Engineer determines in the Engineer’s sole discretion that the conditions of the Contract in respect to the rate of progress of the Work are not being fulfilled or any part thereof is unnecessarily delayed, or if Contractor violates or breaches, or fails to execute in good faith, any of the terms or conditions of the Contract, or if Contractor refuses or fails to supply enough properly skilled labor or materials or refuses or fails to make prompt payment to subcontractors for material or labor, or if Contractor disregards any Laws or Regulations or proper instruction or orders of the Engineer, then, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, the City may give Contractor and its Sureties written notification to immediately correct the situation or the Contract shall be terminated.

In the event that such notice is given, and, in the event such situation is not corrected, or arrangements for correction satisfactory to the City are not made, within ten (10) calendar days from the date of such notice or within such other period of time as may be specified by the City in the notice, the Contract shall upon the expiration of said period cease and terminate. In the event of any such termination, City may take over the Work and prosecute the Work to completion, or otherwise, and the Contractor and its Sureties shall be liable to City for any cost occasioned City thereby, as hereinafter set forth.

In the event City completes the Work, or causes the Work to be completed, no payment of any kind shall be made to Contractor until the Work is complete. The cost of completing the Work, including but not limited to, extra costs of project administration and management incurred by City, both direct or indirect, shall be deducted from any sum then due, or that becomes due, to Contractor from City. If sums due to Contractor from City are less than the cost of completing the Work, Contractor and its Sureties shall pay City a sum equal to this difference on demand. In the event City completes the Work, and there is a sum remaining due to Contractor after City deducts the costs of completing the Work, then City shall pay Form approved by City Attorney 1-11-17 16
such sum to Contractor. The Contractor and Contractor’s Sureties shall be jointly and severally liable for all obligations imposed on Contractor hereunder.

No act by City before the Work is finally accepted, including, but not limited to, exercise of other rights under the Contract, actions at law or in equity, extensions of time, payments, assessments of liquidated damages, occupation or acceptance of any part of the Work, waiver of any prior breach of the Contract or failure to take action pursuant to this section upon the happening of any prior default or breach of Contractor, shall be construed to be a waiver or estoppel of the City’s right to act pursuant to this Section upon any subsequent event, occurrence or failure by Contractor to fulfill the terms and conditions of the Contract. The rights of City to terminate the Contract pursuant to this Section and pursuant to Sections 26 and 27 are cumulative and are in addition to all other rights of City pursuant to the Contract and at law or in equity.

29. CONTRACTOR BANKRUPT
If Contractor should commence any bankruptcy proceeding, or if Contractor is adjudged a bankrupt, or if Contractor makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if a receiver is appointed on account of Contractor's insolvency, then the City may, without prejudice to any other right or remedy, terminate the Contract and complete the work by giving notice as provided in Section 28 above.

30. SURETIES’ OBLIGATIONS UPON TERMINATION
If the City terminates the Contract pursuant to Section 28 or Section 29 above:

A. The Surety under Contractor’s performance bond shall be fully responsible for all of the Contractor’s remaining obligations of performance under the Contract as if the Surety were a party to the Contract, including without limitation Contractor’s obligations, as provided in the Contract Documents, to complete and provide a oneyear warranty of the entire Work, pay liquidated damages and indemnify, defend and hold harmless City, up to the full amount of the performance bond.

B. The Surety under Contractor’s payment bond shall be fully responsible for the performance of all of the Contractor’s remaining payment obligations for work, services, equipment or materials performed or provided in connection with the Work or any portion thereof, up to the full amount of the payment bond.

Please read and understand these terms. Call Solid Waste at (916) 808-4833 if these terms are not clear to you. More information is also available online at http://www.cityofsacramento.org/utilities/.

1. Self-haul or self-hauling: This is when the general contractor or a subcontractor who is doing work on the project hauls their own waste materials for recycling or disposal. Note that a jobsite cleanup crew is not doing other work on the project and is not self-hauling. Jobsite cleanup crews need to be franchised in order to haul mixed C&D debris away.

2. Franchised hauler: Check the Department of Utilities (DOU) website for a list of these haulers. Only these companies and the City of Sacramento can collect and haul mixed C&D debris generated within the City for a fee.

3. Source separation: This means keeping wood, metal, cardboard, or other recyclables in separate containers, and sending the materials to an authorized recycler. A list of authorized recyclers can be found on the DOU web site. Source-separated materials may be hauled by anyone.

4. Mixed C&D debris: This means putting all recyclable debris into one container. Mixed materials must be sent to a certified mixed C&D sorting facility. Mixed materials may be either self-hauled or hauled by a franchised hauler. If your job site is crowded, this option saves the most space.

5. Certified Mixed C&D Sorting Facility: See the DOU web site for a list. These facilities have been certified by the Sacramento Regional Solid Waste Authority (SWA) to extract recyclable materials from mixed C&D debris.

F. Terms and Conditions
• Your approved Waste Management Plan and Waste Log must be kept on the job site for the duration of the project. • City of Sacramento Solid Waste Services staff may enter the jobsite to inspect waste collection areas. • ALL Clean Wood Waste (unpainted, untreated lumber, plywood and OSB), Inert Materials (concrete, asphalt paving, brick, block, and dirt), Wooden Pallets, Scrap Metal, and Corrugated Cardboard must be recycled. • Only SWA-Certified Mixed C&D Sorting Facilities may be used to recycle these materials if mixed with other materials. • Only the City of Sacramento, SWA-Franchised Haulers, or self-haulers (as defined above) may collect and transport mixed C&D material from the jobsite.
• C&D Debris may not be burned or dumped illegally.
• Your Waste Log must be completed and submitted, with supporting weight tickets, within 30 days of submitting your project completion report. All waste hauling and disposal or recycling activity must be entered on the Waste Log, including information from any subcontractors who self-hauled their own debris off-site. • You must keep all receipts or weight-tickets from your project for a period of one year from the submittal of your waste log. • Failure to comply with these terms and conditions may result in a fine and payment of a security deposit on future projects.

No. 30 35–85
No. 50 10–30
No. 100 0–4
No. 200 0–1
Test the crumb rubber modifier gradation under ASTM C 136 except:

1. Split or quarter 100 ± 5 g from the crumb rubber modifier sample and dry to a constant mass at a temperature from 57 to 63 degrees C and record the dry sample mass. Place the crumb rubber modifier sample and 5 grams (g) of talc in a 1/2-liter jar. Seal the jar, then shake the jar by hand for at least one (1) minute to mix the crumb rubber modifier and the talc. Continue shaking or open the jar and stir until the particle agglomerates and clumps are broken and the talc is uniformly mixed.

2. Place one (1) rubber ball on each sieve. Each ball must weigh 8.5 ± 0.5 g, measure 24.5 ± 0.5 mm in diameter, and have a Shore Durometer "A" hardness of 50 ± 5 determined under ASTM D 2240. After sieving the combined material for 10 ± 1 minutes, disassemble the sieves. Brush material adhering to the bottom of a sieve into the next finer sieve. Weigh and record the mass of the material retained on the 2.36-milimeter sieve and leave this material (do not discard) on the scale or balance. Fabric balls must remain on the scale or balance and be placed together on the side to prevent them from being covered or disturbed when the material from finer sieves is placed onto the scale or balance. The material retained on the 2.00-milimeter sieve must be added to the scale or balance. Weigh and record that mass as the accumulative mass retained on the 2.00-milimeter sieve. Continue weighing and recording the accumulated masses retained on the remaining sieves until the accumulated mass retained in the pan has been determined. Before discarding the crumb rubber modifier sample, separately weigh and record the total mass of fabric balls in the sample.

3. Determine the mass of material passing the 75-micrometer sieve by subtracting the accumulated mass retained on the 75-micrometer sieve from the accumulated mass retained in the pan. If the material passing the 75-micrometer sieve has a mass of 5 g or less, cross out the recorded number for the accumulated mass retained in the pan and copy the number recorded for the accumulated mass retained on the 75-micrometer sieve and record that number, next to the crossed out number, as the accumulated mass retained in the pan. If the material passing the 75- micrometer sieve has a mass greater than 5 g, cross out the recorded number for the accumulated mass retained in the pan, subtract 5 g from that number and record the difference next to the crossed out number. The adjustment to the accumulated mass retained in the pan accounts for the 5 g of talc added to the sample. For calculation purposes, the adjusted total sample mass is the same as the adjusted accumulated mass retained in the pan. Determine the percent passing based on the adjusted total sample mass and record to the nearest 0.1 percent (0.1%). 42 Screenings

Immediately prior to the application of the chip seal the surface to receive the chip seal shall be cleaned by power brooming, flushing or other means necessary to remove all vegetation, loose particles of paving, all dirt, and all other extraneous material. Vegetation shall be removed from cracks in pavement and at the interface of pavement and gutter prior to sweeping. The Contractor shall blow the cracks clean of loose materials, away from pavement or previously cleaned cracks, with a high pressure air nozzle (90 psi or greater and free of oil). Pavements impregnated with grease, oil, or fuel shall be thoroughly scrubbed with water and an approved detergent and then flushed and swept clean. Wash water shall be vacuumed up and disposed of and shall not be permitted to enter the storm drain system. Contractor shall be responsible for sweeping the streets until sufficiently cleaned to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Streets shall be swept from face of curb to face of curb. Pavement missed by or inaccessible to power brooms shall be swept manually or by other methods approved by the Engineer.

All existing temporary and permanent pavement markers and temporary delineation shall be removed in accordance with Section SP-16, “Existing Highway Facilities” of these Special Provisions.

Immediately before commencing the seal operations, all surface metal utility covers (including survey monuments) shall be protected by thoroughly covering the surface with an appropriate adhesive and paper or plastic. No adhesive material shall be permitted to cover, seal or fill the joint between the frame and cover of the structure. Covers are to be uncovered and cleaned of chip seal material by the end of the same work day.

Precoat Screenings
Screenings must be preheated from 260 to 325°F. Coat with any of the asphalts specified in the table titled "Performance Graded Asphalt Binder" in Section 92 of Caltrans 2010 Standard Specifications.

Coat screenings at a central mixing plant. The asphalt must be from 0.5 to 1.0 percent by weight of dry screenings. The Engineer shall determine the exact rate. 45 The plant must be authorized under California Test Method 109 and the Department's material plant quality program.

Do not stockpile preheated or pre-coated screenings.

Application of Asphalt Rubber Binder
Apply asphalt rubber binder immediately after the reaction period. At the time of application, the temperature of asphalt rubber binder must be from 385 to 415°F.

Apply asphalt rubber binder at a rate from 0.55 to 0.65 gal/sq yd. The Engineer determines the exact rate. Avoid application over the specified rate which may result in “bleeding”. If medium severity “bleeding” occurs over an area greater than 10 square feet, Contractor shall remove and replace affected areas at their own cost during the warranty period. Medium severity “bleeding” is defined as that asphalt sticks to shoes and vehicles during more than 3 weeks of the year.

Apply asphalt rubber binder when the atmospheric temperature is from 60 to 105°F and the pavement surface temperature is between 75°F and 140°F.

Do not apply asphalt rubber binder unless there are sufficient screenings available to cover the asphalt rubber binder within two (2) minutes. Intersections, turn lanes, gore points, and irregular areas must be covered within fifteen (15) minutes.

Do not apply asphalt rubber binder when weather or road conditions are unsuitable, including high wind or when the pavement is damp. Unsuitable weather conditions include when temperatures below 40°F are anticipated for the next twenty-four (24) hours after applying the rubberized chip seal, or sustained winds are greater than ten (10) mph. Complete surface treatment application at least two (2) hours before sunset.

If you request to use a variable application rate apparatus and the Engineer authorizes, the rate in the wheel paths may be reduced to 0.50 gal/sq yd.

Spreading Screenings
Prevent vehicles from driving on asphalt rubber binder before spreading screenings.

Broom excess screenings at joints before spreading adjacent screenings.

Operate the spreader at speeds slow enough to prevent screenings from rolling over after dropping.

If the spreader is not moving, screenings must not drop. If you stop spreading and screenings drop, remove the excess screenings before resuming activities.

During transit, cover pre-coated screenings for asphalt rubber seal coat with tarpaulins if the ambient air temperature is below 65°F or the haul time exceeds thirty (30) minutes. 46 At the time of application, screenings for asphalt rubber seal coat must be from 225 to 325°F.

Spread screenings at a rate from 28 to 40 lb/sq yd. The exact rate is determined by the Engineer.

Spread to within ten percent (10%) of the determined rate.

Leave uncovered a strip of sprayed asphalt approximately six (6) inches wide to permit an overlap of asphalt material.

Finishing And Rolling Operations
Chip seal shall be finished and screenings compacted in accordance with Section 37-2.03H, “Finishing” of the 2010 Edition of the State of California Department of Transportation Standard Specifications, except that the second, third, fourth, and fifth paragraph shall not apply. In addition the following shall apply:
a. A minimum of three (3) pneumatic tired rollers conforming to the requirements specified in Section 39-3.03, “Spreading and Compacting Equipment”, of the Caltrans Standard Specifications shall be used, except that the rollers shall carry a minimum loading of 3,000 pounds on each wheel and air pressure of between 95 and 105 pounds per square (psi) inch in each tire.
b. Operate rollers at a maximum speed of five (5) mph. Do not permit the aggregate to be displaced by pickup or sticking of material to the tire or drum surfaces. Roll the surface to uniformity and thoroughly bond the aggregate over the full width. Complete rolling within one (1) hour after asphalt is applied to the surface. c. In the course of construction where the asphalt-rubber distributor truck creates a joint by stopping at some point along the length of the roadway, the screenings spreader shall stop short of this joint, leaving a small strip of uncovered asphalt rubber. This is to prevent an overlapping double thickness joint from being created once work resumes. All reasonable precautions shall be taken to avoid skips and overlaps at joints. Any defect shall be corrected at the Contractor’s expense by use of a shovel and/ or broom prior to continuing operations.
d. The seal coat shall be applied in such a manner that the joint between the new and existing surface is neat and uniform in appearance true to the line show on the plans and as established by the Engineer. The cut-off of asphaltic binder shall be made on building paper or similar material spread over the surface.
e. Initial rolling of the asphalt-rubber chip seal shall consist of a minimum of one (1)complete coverage with three pneumatic-tired rollers working in tandem and shall begin immediately behind the screenings spreader. The distance between the rollers and the screenings spreader shall not exceed 200 feet at any time during the spreading of screenings operations.
f. A minimum of three (3) additional complete coverages with the three pneumatic-tire rollers shall be made after the initial coverage on the asphalt-rubber chip seal. 47 g. In addition to the three pneumatic-tired rollers one (1) 12-14 ton steel wheel roller shall be used on the final pass as the finish roller.
h. Limit traffic speeds to fifteen (15) mph for twenty-four (24) hours after rolling operations have ceased; use of pilot cars may be necessary for the roadways that are typically driven on at higher rate of speed.

Final Sweeping
A. Removal of excess aggregate shall be completed before uncontrolled traffic is permitted on the modified asphalt binder seal coat.

B. An initial brooming shall be performed after completion of the final rolling and prior to routing public traffic on the modified asphalt binder seal coat.

Sweeping shall be a multi step operation following final rolling of the Aggregate. Loose Aggregate shall be removed from the roadway surface and abutting adjacent areas. Loose Aggregate shall be disposed of at least 46 m from the nearest waterway.

The Contractor shall be responsible for any damages to the vehicles, pedestrians and residents due to loose aggregate. The Contractor is responsible for additional sweeping if requested by the Engineer.

Maintaining Traffic - Contractor shall provide temporary C6 “LOOSE GRAVEL” with 15-MPH speed limit signs installed at the entrance and at 150 feet intervals on both sides of the streets.

Pilot cars shall be sufficiently available to continuously convoy and control traffic. Pilot cars used to convoy or otherwise control traffic shall have radio contact with each other and other personnel in the work area. Pilot cars shall use only traffic lanes open to public traffic.

Test Strip
The Contractor shall construct three (3) test strips for evaluation by the Engineer. The test strips shall be 50 feet to 100 feet long and shall consist of the application courses specified. The test strips shall be constructed in the early morning and shall cure and be open to traffic within ten (10) minutes of application. The three (3) test strips will be performed with varied asphalt aggregate spread rates, as specified by the Engineer, to best select the application rates to be used for the operation.

The Engineer will evaluate the completed test strip immediately after traffic is allowed on the completed test strip to determine if the mix design and placement procedure are acceptable. If the materials as placed are determined by the Engineer to be unacceptable, no additional work will be permitted until the Contractor’s proposed remediation has been approved by the Engineer. The cost of materials and placement of the test strips, which have been rejected, shall be borne by the Contractor and will not be considered as part of the contract work. 48 Each time the topography, roadway conditions, or type of road changes and is planned to be treated with the rubberized chip seal a new set of test strips shall be performed to ensure that the spread rates and rolling patterns are still applicable.

The approved test strip will be used for public relations purposes by the City for local residents to observe.

The MSE storage tank shall be located immediately before the emulsion pump and shall be equipped with a device which will automatically shut down the power to the emulsion pump and aggregate belt feeder when the MSE level is lowered to a point where the pump suction line is exposed.

A temperature-indicating device shall be installed in the emulsion storage tank at the pump suction level. The device shall indicate the temperature of the MSE and shall be accurate to within 10°F (5°C).

The belt delivering the aggregate to the pugmill shall be equipped with a device to monitor the depth of aggregate being delivered to the pugmill. The device for monitoring the depth of aggregate shall automatically shut down the power to the aggregate belt feeder whenever the depth of aggregate is less than the target depth of flow. A second device shall be located where the device will monitor the movement of the aggregate belt by detecting revolutions of the belt feeder. The devices for monitoring no flow or belt movement shall automatically shut down the power to the aggregate belt when the aggregate belt movement is interrupted. The device to detect revolutions of the belt feeder will not be required where the aggregate delivery belt is an integral part of the drive chain. To avoid erroneous shutdown by normal fluctuation, a delay of 3 seconds will be permitted between sensing and shutdown of the operation.

Mixing and Spreading Equipment:

The microsurfacing shall be mixed in continuous pugmill mixers of adequate size and power for the type of microsurfacing to be placed. All indicators shall be in conformance with the provisions of these special provisions and shall be in working order prior to commencing mixing and spreading operations.

PUBLIC WORKS LABOR PROJECTS – LABOR COMPLIANCE

LaborCompliance
Introduction
Contractors who are awarded contracts on City of Sacramento public works projects are subject to State and Federal Laws and regulations governing the payment and reporting of wages, the use of apprentices, and other applicable labor standards provisions. The City of Sacramento monitors prime contractors’ and subcontractors’ compliance with labor standards by collecting certified payroll records; conducting on-site interviews of works at the construction sites; when appropriate, audits of contractors’ records; and engaging in other activities, as necessary, to ensure labor compliance. Labor Compliance officers make preconstruction presentations to inform contractors of their obligations to comply with labor standards provisions.

Labor Compliance Requirements
(Prevailing Wage, SB 854 Etc.)
SB 854, a budget trailer bill that was signed into law on June 20, 2014, and became effective immediately, made several significant changes to laws pertaining to the administration and enforcement of prevailing wage requirements by the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR).

Among other things, SB 854 established a new public works contractor registration program to replace prior Compliance Monitoring Unit (CMU) and Labor Compliance Program (LCP) requirements for bond-funded and other specified public works projects. The fees collected through this new program will be used to fund all of DIR’s public works activities, including compliance monitoring and enforcement, the determination of prevailing wage rates, public works coverage determinations, and hearing enforcement appeals.

Labor Code Section 1725.5 (enacted by SB 854) requires all contractors bidding on this contract, all subcontractors listed in a bid for this contract, and any contractor or subcontractor performing any work under this contract, to be currently registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR), as specified in Labor Code Section 1725.5. Labor Code Section 1771.1 (enacted by SB 854) provides that a contractor or subcontractor shall not 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 contract for public work, unless currently registered and qualified to perform public work pursuant to Labor Code Section 1725.5. Every bidding contractor shall list the contractor’s current DIR registration number, and the current DIR registration number of all listed subcontractors, on the Subcontractor and Local Business Enterprise (LBE) Participation Verification Form included in the contractor’s bid.

SB 854 – Important Information for Contractors
o No contractor or subcontractor may be listed on a bid proposal for a public works project (submitted on or after March 1, 2015) unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5 [with limited exceptions from this requirement for bid purposes only under Labor Code section 1771.1(a)].
o No contractor or subcontractor may be awarded a contract for public work on a public works project (awarded on or after April 1, 2015) unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5. o This project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations.
o The prime contractor must post job site notices prescribed by regulation. (See 8 Calif. Code Reg. §16451(d) for the notice that previously was required for projects monitored by the CMU (Compliance Monitoring Unit.)
Essentials of public works contractor registration program:
o Contractors will be subject to a registration and annual renewal fee that has been set initially at $300. The fee is non-refundable and applies to all contractors and subcontractors who intend to bid or perform work on public works projects (as defined under the Labor Code).
o Contractors will apply and pay the fee online and must meet minimum qualifications to be registered as eligible to bid and work on public works projects:
o Must have workers’ compensation coverage for any employees and only use subcontractors who are registered public works contractors. o Must have Contractors State License Board license if applicable to trade. o Must have no delinquent unpaid wage or penalty assessments owed to any employee or enforcement agency.
o Must not be under federal or state debarment.
o Must not be in prior violation of this registration requirement once it becomes effective. However, for the first violation in a 12 month period, a contractor may still qualify for registration by paying an additional penalty. o The registration fee is not related to any project. It is more like a license that enables the registrant to bid on and perform public works.

Additionally, all contractors and subcontractors must furnish electronic certified payroll records directly to the Labor Commissioner (aka Division of Labor Standards Enforcement). The phase-in timetable for this requirement can be found on the following link at http://www.dir.ca.gov/Public- Works/SB854.html (also for all SB854 related information).

Prevailing Wage Requirements (except from Sacramento City Code 3.60.180) Every contract for any construction project, as defined in Section 1782 of the California Labor Code, to be performed within the state at the expense of the city, or paid out of city moneys, whether such work be done directly under contract award, or indirectly by or under subcontract, sub partnership, day labor, station work, piece work, or by any other arrangement whatsoever, must provide, in addition to other provisions required by law, that any person performing labor in the state in execution of such contracts, subcontract, sub partnership, day labor, station labor, piece work or any other arrangement shall be paid not less than the general prevailing rate of wages in private employment for similar work in the city; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions as to payment of the general prevailing rate of wages shall not apply to: (a) contracts for any construction project originally awarded or executed in an amount of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) or less; (b) contracts for any alteration, demolition, repair, or maintenance work originally awarded or executed in an amount of fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) or less; (c) materials for which no manufacturing plant exists in the city; or (d) standard materials or commodities carried in stock by dealers or manufacturers generally.

The general prevailing rate of wages shall be the general prevailing rate of wages for the area in which the city is located as determined by the director of the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code Section 1773. Every contract for which the payment of the general prevailing rate of wages is required shall provide that the determination of the director of the Department of Industrial Relations in force at the time the notice to bidders is published with respect to the general prevailing rate of wages in private employment in the city for similar work shall be binding upon the parties any contract awarded as a result of such notice.

For more details, please refer to the applicable statutes and regulations regarding the payment of prevailing wages and General Prevailing Wage Determination(s) including the footnotes. Such information is available on the Department of Industrial Relations' website at http://www.dir.ca.gov/. Frequently asked questions can be found on the following link at:
http://www.dir.ca.gov/OPRL/FAQ_PrevailingWage.html.

These new requirements will apply to all public works that are subject to the prevailing wage requirements of the Labor Code, without regard to funding source.

Apprentices on Public Work Projects
Summary of Requirements
California Labor Code Section 1777.5 requires all public works contractors and subcontractors to:

1. Submit contract award information

2. Employ registered apprentices

3. Make training fund contributions
Submit contract award information:

If you are a contractor already approved to train apprentices (a member of a DAS recognized Apprenticeship Committee
“Contractors who are already approved to train apprentices must provide contract award information to the apprenticeship committee for each applicable apprenticeable craft or trade that has approved the contractor in the area of the site of the of the public works project.” The Contract Award Information must be in writing and submitted to the applicable committee(s) within 10 days of the date of the prime or subcontract but in no event later than the first day the contractor has workers employed on the public works project. You may use form DAS 140 for this purpose. This is simply a notification of award; it is not automatically a request for dispatch of a registered apprentice.

If you are not already approved to train by an Apprenticeship Committee Contractors not already approved to train apprentices must submit Contract Award Information (DAS 140) to every apprenticeship program in the geographic area of the public works project, for each craft you intend to employ on the project. You can determine which apprenticeship programs are approved in specific geographic locations by clicking on the following link http://www.dir.ca.gov/databases/das/pwaddrstart.asp The Contract Award Information must be in writing and submitted to the applicable committee(s) within 10 days of the date of the prime or subcontract but in no event later than the first day the contractor has workers employed on the public works project. This is simply a notification of award; it is not automatically a request for dispatch of a registered apprentice.

Employ registered apprentices:

A contractor on a public works project must employ one (1) hour of apprentice work for every five (5) hours performed by a journeyman. Title 8 California Code of Regulations, Section 230.1.for each separate craft at the end of a project. Please check the DAS Important notices to determine if any exemptions exist for your craft or trade. http://www.dir.ca.gov/DAS/PublicWorksForms.htm All contractors must request dispatch of an apprentice from an apprenticeship program (for each apprenticeable craft or trade) by giving the program actual notice of at least 72 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays) before the date on which apprentices are required. A DAS 142 form is provided for this purpose. All requests for dispatch must be in writing and sent by first class mail, fax or email.

Contractors who do not receive a sufficient number of apprentices from their initial request, must request dispatch apprentices from all other apprenticeship committees, if more than one exists in the area of the public works project. To determine which apprenticeship programs are approved for your craft or trade in a specific geographic location click the following link http://www.dir.ca.gov/databases/das/pwaddrstart.asp Ratios:

How many apprentices must I employ on a Public Works project? At the end of the project, your straight time apprentice hours must equal a total of 1 hour for every 5 straight time journeyman hours for each separate craft. For example, if you have a total of 100 journeyman hours at the end of the project, you would need 20 apprentice hours in that same craft.

Can I mix and match crafts to reach the minimum ratio?
No. The minimum ratio requirement is per each individual craft and only includes straight time hours.

Do overtime hours count toward the minimum ratio?
No, only straight time hours count. Be careful not to confuse premium pay with overtime pay.

What is the maximum number of apprentices I can use on a Public Works Project? It depends on which box you have checked on your DAS 140. If you checked box 1 or 2 and fall under the regulations set forth in a specific program’s standards, then you are allowed to use the maximum ratio set forth in those Standards. If you have checked box 3 and agreed to be governed by the regulations set forth by the California Apprenticeship Council then the minimum and maximum ratio is the same: 1 apprentice hour for every 5 journeyman hours totaled at the end of the project.

I am a contractor who is approved to train by an approved program and am covered by their Standards, or I am a contractor who has agreed to be covered by a program’s Standards for a single project. How do I know what the Standards allow for that program’s maximum apprentice ratios? You can ask the program for a copy of their Standards or a copy of the language in Article XV which covers ratios.

Or you can call the DAS office nearest the location for that program and request the same.

Make Training Fund Contributions:

Contractors who are awarded public works jobs must make training fund contributions in the amount established in the prevailing wage rate publication for journeymen and apprentices. This nominal fee contributes to the assurance that new apprentices coming into the craft will be guaranteed the highest level of training and as skilled craftsmen retire, the trade will survive.

Contractors who contribute to an apprenticeship program are entitled to a full credit in the amount of those contributions. Contractors who do not contribute to an apprenticeship program must submit their contributions to the California Apprenticeship Council, P. O. Box 511283, Los Angeles, California 90051-7838.

Training fund contributions to the Council are due and payable on the 15th day of the month for work performed during the preceding month. The contribution should be paid by check and be accompanied be a completed training fund contribution form or a letter containing the following information:

1. The name, address and telephone number of the contractor making the contribution.

2. The contractor’s license number.

3. The name and address of the public agency that awarded the contract.

4. The jobsite location, including the county where the work was performed.

5. The contract or project number.

6. The time period covered by the enclosed contributions.

7. The contribution rate and total hours worked by apprenticeable occupation.

8. The name of the program(s) that provide apprentices, if any.

9. The number of apprentice hours worked, by apprenticeable occupation and by program.

Subject to change for most recent documentation please click on the following link:
http://www.dir.ca.gov/das DASApprenticesOnPublicWorksSummaryOfRequirements.htm Are you exempt?
What are the instances in which a contractor on a public works project is considered exempt from the requirements of LC 1777.5?

1. Labor Code 1777.5 does not apply to general contractors whose contract is under $30,000.

2. When the craft or trade is not apprenticeable.

3. When the contractor holds a sole proprietor license and no workers were employed by the contractor.

In other words, the contractor performed the entire work from start to finish and worked alone.

4. When the project is a federal project and the funding of the project does not contain any city, county, and/or state monies unless the project is administered by a state agency in which case the apprenticeship requirements apply.

5. When the project is a private project not covered by the definition of public works as found in Labor Code section 1720.

What if I am exempt from the requirements of California Labor Code Section 1777.5 as my situation falls under one of the exemptions listed above? Do I still have to provide a "Notice of Contract Award" (DAS 140 form) to the applicable program?
You do not have to submit a "Notice of Contract Award". However, for purposes of letting the applicable program know of your exemption, you may, nevertheless, want to provide the form to the applicable program so they are aware of your exemption.

If I have an Individual Contractor Exemption granted by the Chief of DAS per Labor Code § 1777.5 (j), or § 1777.5(k), do I still need to send a DAS 140 to the appropriate programs? Yes, you still need to submit a Notice of Contract Award Information (DAS 140) to the appropriate Program Committees. The Individual Contractor Exemptions and Program Committee exemptions pertain to the ratio of apprentices on a public works project and do not eliminate the DAS 140 requirement.

I am a small subcontractor and my job will take less than 40 hours. Am I exempt from hiring apprentices?
No, you must still submit a DAS 140 and 142. However, you may request apprentices in less than 8 hour increments. Important Notice: see changes in Code of Regulations section 230.1, regarding the employment of apprentices on Public Works.

What is a registered apprentice?
An apprentice is someone who has signed an agreement with an employer, an approved apprenticeship program or program sponsor, and whose agreement is registered with the Division of Apprenticeship Standards (DAS). Only an approved apprenticeship program can provide a contractor with a registered apprentice on public works projects.

Do programs that provide apprentices for public works projects provide workers compensation benefits for the apprentice they send out to jobs or is the responsibility of the contractor and/or subcontractor?
This responsibility lies with the contractor and/or subcontractor.

How can I find the names of the applicable approved apprenticeship programs/committees?

1. Contact the DAS District office whose assigned geographic areas of responsibility cover the county/ies in which the public works project is located.

2. Visit our interactive website
As a contractor who has been awarded a public works contract, and has my own employees, am I still required hiring registered apprentices?
Yes. Important Notice: see changes in Code of Regulations sections 230.1, regarding the employment of apprentices on Public Works
I am a non-union contractor. Am I required to hire an apprentice? Yes, you must request dispatch from all approved programs in the geographic area of the project.

Can I employ my friend, family, or my own employee who is still beginning to learn a particular trade, as an apprentice?
No. The law requires that you employ only apprentices who are registered with an approved program. However, if your friend or your employee is a registered apprentice, and has been dispatched to you by an approved apprenticeship program, yes you can.

What happens if I employed my friend who is not a registered apprentice and I paid him the journeyman rate?
You may employ your friend and pay him journey wages but this does not affect the apprenticeship requirements.

What are the benefits and advantages to hiring a registered apprentice? The benefits of hiring an apprentice registered in a state approved program are:

1. Lower pay rate than the journeyman pay rate.

2. Elimination of recruitment programs for workers who are already trained.

3. Creates a diversified and flexible workforce and larger pool of employees with specific skills.

4. Increases productivity; employees in a structured training program are motivated to achieve.

EMPLOYMENTOFAPPRENTICES
A. Bidder is directed to the provisions in Sections 1777.5, 1777.6 and 1777.7 of the California Labor Code concerning the employment of apprentices by a Contractor and any subcontractor performing a public works Contract.

1. Labor Code section 1777.5 requires the Contractor or subcontractor employing tradesmen in any apprentice-able occupation to apply to the joint apprenticeship committee in the area of the site of the public works project and which administers the apprenticeship program for a certificate of approval. Contractor or subcontractor shall not be required to submit individual applications for approval to local joint apprenticeship committees provided they are already covered by the local apprenticeship standards. The ratio of apprentices to journeymen and contributions to funds to administer apprenticeship programs shall be determined by Section 1777.5 and the responsibility for compliance with that section for all apprentice-able occupations shall be with the General Contractor.

2. Labor Code section 1777.5 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). This is the sum of the total contract amount not the individual contracts that are held between a prime contractor and their sub tiers. A contractor who willfully violates Labor Code section 1777.5 shall be denied the right to bid on or receive a public works contract for a period of up to one (1) year for the first violation, and for a period up to three (3) years for the second and subsequent violations, from the date the determination of noncompliance made by the Administrator of Apprenticeship becomes an order of the California Apprenticeship Council. Contractor shall also be subject to the payment of the civil penalty as provided in Labor Code section 1777.7. Interpretation and enforcement of said Sections 1777.5 and 1777.7 shall be in accordance with the rules and procedures of the California Apprenticeship Council.

This information is provided as a guide. If there are any discrepancies between the language in this handbook and the specifications in the bid package for this project, the bid package shall prevail.
