Explanation to box 1 - 3 on form DAS 140
• Box 1 is for contractors who are already approved to train by an apprenticeship program
(signatory/member).
• Box 2 indicates that a contractor is willing to comply with a program's Standards for the current
project only.This generally means that the fringe benefits and the training funds will be paid to that
Committee's Trust Fund. It also allows a contractor to take advantage of a more generous maximum
ratio than the CAC Standards, but does not affect the minimum ratio of 1 apprentice hour for every 5
journeyman hours.
• Box 3 means that a contractor will be governed by the regulations of the California Apprenticeship
Council. Generally this means that the minimum and maximum ratio for apprentices is the same—1
apprentice hour for every 5 journeyman hours per each craft,totaled at the end of the project. It also
means the Training Fund Contribution is usually paid to the California Apprenticeship Council.
