An action under this subdivision may not be based on the employer's misclassification of the craft of a worker on its certified payroll records. Nothing in this subdivision limits any other available remedies for a violation of this chapter. F. The CONTRACTOR shall inform the body awarding the contract of the location of the records enumerated under subdivision (a), including the street address, city and county, and shall, within five working days, provide a notice of a change of location and address. G. The CONTRACTOR or subcontractor shall have 10 days in which to comply subsequent to receipt of a written notice requesting the records enumerated in subdivision (a). In the event that the CONTRACTOR or subcontractor fails to comply within the 10-day period, he or she shall, as a penalty to the state or political subdivision on whose behalf the contract is made or awarded, forfeit twenty-five dollars ($25) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker, until strict compliance is effectuated. Upon the request of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, these penalties shall be withheld from progress payments then due. A CONTRACTOR is not subject to a penalty assessment pursuant to this section due to the failure of a subcontractor to comply with this section. H. The body awarding the contract shall cause to be inserted in the contract stipulations to effectuate this section. I. The director shall adopt rules consistent with the California Public Records Act, (Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 6250), Division 7, Title 1, Government Code) and the Information Practices Act of 1977, (Title 1.8 (commencing with Section 1798), Part 4, Division 3, Civil Code) governing the release of these records, including the establishment of reasonable fees to be charged for reproducing copies of records required by this section. 2.04 LABOR CODE SECTION 1777.5 - EMPLOYMENT OF PROPERLY REGISTERED APPRENTICES A.

C. Only apprentices, as defined in Section 3077, who are in training under apprenticeship standards that have been approved by the Chief of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards and who are parties to written apprentice agreements under Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 3070) of Division 3 are eligible to be employed at the apprentice wage rate on public works. The employment and training of each apprentice shall be in accordance with either of the following: 1. The apprenticeship standards and apprentice agreements under which he or she is training. 2. The rules and regulations of the California Apprenticeship Council.

When the CONTRACTOR to whom the contract is awarded by the state or any political subdivision, in performing any of the work under the contract, employs workers in any apprenticeable craft or trade, the CONTRACTOR shall employ apprentices in at least the ratio set forth in this section and may apply to any apprenticeship program in the craft or trade that can provide apprentices to the site of the public work for a certificate approving the CONTRACTOR under the apprenticeship standards for the employment and training of apprentices in the area or industry affected. However, the decision of the apprenticeship program to approve or deny a certificate shall be subject to review by the Administrator of Apprenticeship. The apprenticeship program or programs, upon approving the CONTRACTOR, shall arrange for the dispatch of apprentices to the CONTRACTOR. A CONTRACTOR covered by an apprenticeship program's standards shall not be required to submit any additional application in order to include additional public works contracts under that program. "Apprenticeable craft or trade," as used in this section, means a craft or trade determined as an apprenticeable occupation in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by the California Apprenticeship Council. As used in this section, "CONTRACTOR" includes any subcontractor under a CONTRACTOR who performs any public works not excluded by subdivision (o). E. Prior to commencing work on a contract for public works, every CONTRACTOR shall submit contract award information to an applicable apprenticeship program that can supply apprentices to the site of the public work. The information submitted shall include an estimate of journeyman hours to be performed under the contract, the number of apprentices proposed to be employed, and the approximate dates the apprentices would be employed. A copy of this information shall also be submitted to the awarding body if requested by the awarding body. Within 60 days after concluding work on the contract, each CONTRACTOR and subcontractor shall submit to the awarding body, if requested, and to the apprenticeship program a verified statement of the journeyman and apprentice hours performed on the contract. The information under this subdivision shall be public. The apprenticeship programs shall retain this information for 12 months. F. The apprenticeship program that can supply apprentices to the area of the site of the public work shall ensure equal employment and affirmative action in apprenticeship for women and minorities. G. The ratio of work performed by apprentices to journeymen employed in a particular craft or trade on the public work may be no higher than the ratio stipulated in the apprenticeship standards under which the apprenticeship program operates where the CONTRACTOR agrees to be bound by those standards, but, except as otherwise provided in this section, in no case shall the ratio be less than one hour of apprentice work for every five hours of journeyman work. H. This ratio of apprentice work to journeyman work shall apply during any day or portion of a day when any journeyman is employed at the jobsite and shall be computed on the basis of the hours worked during the day by journeymen so employed. Any work performed by a journeyman in excess of eight hours per day or 40 hours per week shall not be used to calculate the ratio. The CONTRACTOR shall employ apprentices for the number of hours computed as above before the end of the contract or, in the case of a subcontractor, before the end of the subcontract. However, the CONTRACTOR shall endeavor, to the greatest extent Grant Conditions 00_74_00-14 201764 February 2023 pw://Carollo/Documents/CA/STPUD/201764-100000/04 Design_SC2/04 Specs/MF50-Div/00_74_00 (BidSet) possible, to employ apprentices during the same time period that the journeymen in the same craft or trade are employed at the jobsite. Where an hourly apprenticeship ratio is not feasible for a particular craft or trade, the Chief of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards, upon application of an apprenticeship program, may order a minimum ratio of not less than one apprentice for each five journeymen in a craft or trade classification. I. A CONTRACTOR covered by this section that has agreed to be covered by an apprenticeship program's standards upon the issuance of the approval certificate, or that has been previously approved for an apprenticeship program in the craft or trade, shall employ the number of apprentices or the ratio of apprentices to journeymen stipulated in the applicable apprenticeship standards, but in no event less than the 1-to-5 ratio required by subdivision (g). J. Upon proper showing by a CONTRACTOR that he or she employs apprentices in a particular craft or trade in the state on all of his or her contracts on an annual average of not less than one hour of apprentice work for every five hours of labor performed by journeymen, the Chief of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards may grant a certificate exempting the CONTRACTOR from the 1-to-5 hourly ratio, as set forth in this section for that craft or trade. K. An apprenticeship program has the discretion to grant to a participating CONTRACTOR or CONTRACTOR association a certificate, which shall be subject to the approval of the Administrator of Apprenticeship, exempting the CONTRACTOR from the 1-to-5 ratio set forth in this section when it finds that any one of the following conditions is met: 1. Unemployment for the previous three-month period in the area exceeds an average of 15 percent. 2. The number of apprentices in training in the area exceeds a ratio of 1 to 5. 3. There is a showing that the apprenticeable craft or trade is replacing at least one-thirtieth of its journeymen annually through apprenticeship training, either on a statewide basis or on a local basis. 4. Assignment of an apprentice to any work performed under a public works contract would create a condition that would jeopardize his or her life or the life, safety, or property of fellow employees or the public at large, or the specific task to which the apprentice is to be assigned is of a nature that training cannot be provided by a journeyman. L. When an exemption is granted pursuant to subdivision (k) to an organization that represents CONTRACTORs in a specific trade from the 1-to-5 ratio on a local or statewide basis, the member CONTRACTORs shall not be required to submit individual applications for approval to local joint apprenticeship committees, if they are already covered by the local apprenticeship standards. 1. A CONTRACTOR to whom a contract is awarded, who, in performing any of the work under the contract, employs journeymen or apprentices in any apprenticeable craft or trade shall contribute to the California Apprenticeship Council the same amount that the director determines is the prevailing amount of apprenticeship training contributions in the area of the public works site. A CONTRACTOR may take as a credit for payments to the council any amounts paid by the CONTRACTOR to an approved apprenticeship program that can supply apprentices to the site of the public works project. The Grant Conditions 00_74_00-15 201764 February 2023 pw://Carollo/Documents/CA/STPUD/201764-100000/04 Design_SC2/04 Specs/MF50-Div/00_74_00 (BidSet) CONTRACTOR may add the amount of the contributions in computing his or her bid for the contract. 2. At the conclusion of the 2002-03 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the California Apprenticeship Council shall distribute training contributions received by the council under this subdivision, less the expenses of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards for administering this subdivision, by making grants to approved apprenticeship programs for the purpose of training apprentices. The funds shall be distributed as follows: a. If there is an approved multiemployer apprenticeship program serving the same craft or trade and geographic area for which the training contributions were made to the council, a grant to that program shall be made. b. If there are two or more approved multiemployer apprenticeship programs serving the same craft or trade and geographic area for which the training contributions were made to the council, the grant shall be divided among those programs based on the number of apprentices registered in each program. c. All training contributions not distributed under subparagraphs (A) and (B) shall be used to defray the future expenses of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards. 3. All training contributions received pursuant to this subdivision shall be deposited in the Apprenticeship Training Contribution Fund, which is hereby created in the State Treasury. Notwithstanding Section 13340 of the Government Code, all money in the Apprenticeship Training Contribution Fund is hereby continuously appropriated for the purpose of carrying out this subdivision and to pay the expenses of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards. M. The body awarding the contract shall cause to be inserted in the contract stipulations to effectuate this section. The stipulations shall fix the responsibility of compliance with this section for all apprenticeable occupations with the prime CONTRACTOR. N. This section does not apply to contracts of general CONTRACTORs or to contracts of specialty CONTRACTORs not bidding for work through a general or prime CONTRACTOR when the contracts of general CONTRACTORs or those specialty CONTRACTORs involve less than thirty thousand dollars ($30,000). O. All decisions of an apprenticeship program under this section are subject to Section 3081. 2.05 LABOR CODE SECTION 1810 - DEFINITION: A LEGAL DAY’S WORK A. Eight hours labor constitutes a legal day's work in all cases where the same is performed under the authority of any law of this State, or under the direction, or control, or by the authority of any officer of this State acting in his official capacity, or under the direction, or control or by the authority of any municipal corporation, or of any officer thereof. A stipulation to that effect shall be made a part of all contracts to which the State or any municipal corporation therein is a party.

The CONTRACTOR or subcontractor shall, as a penalty to the state or political subdivision on whose behalf the contract is made or awarded, forfeit twenty-five dollars ($25) for each worker employed in the execution of the contract by the respective CONTRACTOR or subcontractor for each calendar day during which the worker is required or permitted to work more than 8 hours in any one calendar day and 40 hours in any one calendar week in violation of the provisions of this article. In awarding any contract for public work, the awarding body shall cause to be inserted in the contract a stipulation to this effect. The awarding body shall take cognizance of all violations of this article committed in the course of the execution of the contract, and shall report them to the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement. 2.07 LABOR CODE SECTION 1815 - MINIMUM OVERTIME PAY A. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 1810 to 1814, inclusive, of this code, and notwithstanding any stipulation inserted in any contract pursuant to the requirements of said sections, work performed by employees of CONTRACTORs in excess of 8 hours per day, and 40 hours during any one week, shall be permitted upon public work upon compensation for all hours worked in excess of 8 hours per day at not less than one and one-half (1.5) times the basic rate of pay. 2.08 LABOR CODE SECTION 1860 - CONTRACT PROVISION A. The awarding body shall cause to be inserted in every public works contract a clause providing that, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code, every CONTRACTOR will be required to secure the payment of compensation to his employees. 2.09 LABOR CODE SECTION 1861 - CONTRACTOR CERTIFICATION TO LABOR CODE SECTION 3700 A. Each CONTRACTOR to whom a public works contract is awarded shall sign and file with the awarding body the following certification prior to performing the work of the contract: "I am aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for workers' compensation or to undertake self insurance in accordance with the provisions of that code, and I will comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the work of this contract." 2.10 CULTURAL RESOURCES A.
