SB 854Top of Page
SB 854, a budget trailer bill that was signed into law on June 20, 2014, and became effective immediately, made several significant changes into law 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.
As of January 1, 2018, any District vendors engaging in a public works project valued at $15,000 or more must meet the requirements of Labor Code section 1725.5 and register with the Department of Industrial Relations. As of January 1, 2018, the District may not contract with any vendors for public works project valued at $15,000 or more unless that vendor is registered with DIR.
This requirement pertains to any construction, alteration, demolition, installation or repair work done under contract and paid by public funds. (A contract is any formal or informal offer, consideration and acceptance made by the District to a vendor or contractor) For a more detailed explanation of public works projects, refer to California Labor Code 1720-1720.6.
