CHAPTER 5 – Detail of Prevailing Wage Coverage<br />
A. <strong>Public</strong> Works and Prevailing Wages Defined<br />
The Prevailing Wage is defined as not less than the general prevailing rate of pay for work of a<br />
similar character in the County in which the project is located and as determined by the Director of<br />
the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to the provisions of Division 2, Part 7, Chapter 1 of<br />
the California <strong>Labor</strong> Code. Prevailing wages shall be paid to all workers employed for<br />
construction, alteration, demolition, installation or repair work performed in the execution of a<br />
<strong>Public</strong> Works contract.<br />
The work of installing, assembling, repairing or reconditioning, or other work of any nature on<br />
machinery, equipment, or tools used in or upon the work, shall be considered a part of the work to<br />
be performed under a <strong>Public</strong> Works contract and any laborers, workers, or mechanics working on<br />
such machinery, equipment, or tools, shall be subject to all of the requirements relating to labor set<br />
forth in the <strong>Public</strong> Works contract.<br />
The construction, erection, and operation of material production, proportioning, or mixing plants<br />
from which material is used wholly on the contract or on contracts under the supervision of the<br />
awarding body, shall be considered a part of the work to be performed under the contract and any<br />
laborers, workers, or mechanics working on such plants shall be subject to all of the requirements<br />
relating to labor set forth in the contract.<br />
Eight hours’ labor constitutes a legal day’s work. The Contractor shall forfeit as a penalty to the<br />
awarding body, $25 for each worker employed in the execution of the contract by the contractor or<br />
by any subcontractor for each day during which such worker is required or permitted to labor more<br />
than 8 hours in violation of <strong>Labor</strong> Code Sections 1810 to 1815, inclusive, except as provided for<br />
under <strong>Labor</strong> Code Section 1815.<br />
B. Apprentices<br />
The contractor’s attention is directed to the provisions in Sections 1777.5, 1777.6 and 1777.7 of the<br />
<strong>Labor</strong> Code concerning the employment of apprentices by the Contractor or any subcontractor.<br />
Section 1777.5 requires the contractor or subcontractor employing persons, as defined, in any<br />
apprenticeable occupation to apply to the joint apprenticeship committee which is nearest the site of<br />
the <strong>Public</strong> Works project and which administers the apprenticeship program in that trade for a<br />
certificate of approval. The certificate will also fix the ratio of apprentices to journeymen that will<br />
be used in the performance of a <strong>Public</strong> Works contract. The ratio of work performed by apprentices<br />
to journeymen in such cases shall not be less than 1 hour to 5 hours, except when the State has<br />
documented other ratio requirements.<br />
