BACKGROUND
Fair Oaks Park was annexed into the City of Santa Clarita in 2012 as part of the Fair Oaks Ranch
Annexation. Amenities currently available at this five -acre neighborhood park include a large
turf area, two (2) tot -lots with play equipment, basketball and volleyball courts, a restroom,
picnic facilities including tables, benches, barbecues, lighting, and a walking path around the
perimeter of the park.
Upon assuming maintenance of the park, staff partnered with the surrounding community to
identify and complete a number of additional quality of life improvements. Subsequently, staff
returned to the Fair Oaks Ranch HOA Board (Board) this past spring, and again on September 8,
2016, to discuss additional park improvements proposed as part of this project. The Board and
homeowners in attendance enthusiastically expressed their approval to pursue improvements that
Page 1
Packet Pg. 32
include the following:
• Removal and replacement of the decomposed granite walking path with a six foot wide
concrete path
• Refurbishment of existing volleyball court and the addition of a second court
• Installation of LED lighting to replace existing lighting fixtures
• Installation of a second picnic table and gazebo to match the existing
In addition to the items listed above, the HOA also supported the installation of shade structures
over the play equipment, which staff will also incorporate into these proposed park
improvements. hi an effort to take advantage of economies of scale, the installation of these
additional shade structures at Fair Oaks Park will be completed as part of a separate project
during calendar year 2017.
Bid Number ENG -16-17-P3021 for the construction of the remaining items on the list of
proposed improvements was published and circulated via the PlanetBids system on October 21,
2016 and was also noticed on the City of Santa Clarita website. As a result of this process,
fourteen bids were submitted to the City and opened by Purchasing on November 10, 2016. The
top five bid results are shown in the table below.
Leonida Builders was determined to be the lowest responsive bidder. This contractor possesses a
valid State Contractor's License and is in good standing with the Contractor State License Board.
The contractor's bid was reviewed for accuracy and conformance to the contract documents and
found to be complete.
This project is a Capital Improvement Project, and therefore the Santa Clarita Municipal Code
(S.C.M.C.) § 3.12.205 "Support of Santa Clarita Businesses" states that the lowest bid or quote
submitted by a Santa Clarita business that is within 10% of the lowest bid or quote may be
deemed to be the lowest bidder. However, the Santa Clarita business noted in the top five bid
results, RC Becker & Son, does not meet these requirements. Thus, staff recommends a contract
be awarded to Leonida Builders.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as approved by the City Council.

the total amount bid. Proposals not accompanied by such a guarantee will be deemed non-responsive and
will not be considered. If a BIDDER to whom a contract is awarded fails or refuses to execute the contract
documents or furnish the required insurance policies and bonds as set forth in those documents, the proposal
guarantee shall be forfeited to the AGENCY. Proposal guarantees of all BIDDERS will be held until the
successful BIDDER has properly executed all contract documents. The bonding company must be listed on
Treasury Circular 570 and licensed to conduct business in the state of California, or licensed by the
California State Department of Insurance to issue sureties.
3. DELIVERY OF PROPOSAL
Proposals shall be enclosed in a sealed envelope plainly marked on the outside "SEALED BID FOR
FAIR OAKS PARK IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT NO. P3021; DO NOT OPEN WITH
REGULAR MAIL". Proposals may be mailed or delivered by messenger; however, it is the Bidder's
responsibility alone to ensure delivery of the proposal to the hands of the AGENCY's Purchasing Office,
Suite 120, prior to the bid opening hour stipulated in the Notice Inviting Bids. Late proposals will be
deemed non-responsive and will not be considered.
4. WITHDRAWAL OF PROPOSALS
A proposal may be withdrawn by a written request signed by the BIDDER. Such requests must be delivered
to the AGENCY's designated official prior to the bid opening hour stipulated in the Notice Inviting Bids.
Proposals may not be withdrawn after said hour without forfeiture of the proposal guarantee. The
withdrawal of the proposal will not prejudice the right of the BIDDER to submit a new proposal, providing
there is time to do so.
5. IRREGULAR PROPOSALS
Unauthorized conditions, limitations, or provisions attached to a proposal will render it irregular and may
cause its rejection. The completed proposal forms shall be without interlineations, alterations, or erasures.
Alternative proposals will not be considered unless specifically requested. No oral, telegraphic, or
telephonic proposal, modification, or withdrawal will be considered.
Instruction to Bidders Fair Oaks Park Improvements Project, P3021
October 2016 Page B- 1
6. TAXES
No mention shall be made in the proposal of Sales Tax, Use Tax, or any other tax, as all amounts bid will be
deemed and held to include any such taxes which may be applicable.
7. DISQUALIFICATION OF BIDDERS
In the event that any BIDDER acting as a prime CONTRACTOR has an interest in more than one proposal,
all such proposals will be rejected, and the BIDDER will be disqualified. This restriction does not apply to
subcontractors or suppliers who may submit quotations to more than one BIDDER and, while doing so, may
also submit a formal proposal as a prime CONTRACTOR. Proposals will be accepted from BIDDERS who
are not licensed in accordance with the provisions of the State Business and Professions Code; however, the
successful BIDDER shall be licensed in accordance with provisions of the Business and Professions Code
and shall possess a State CONTRACTOR's license, Class A or C-27 at the time a contract for this work is
awarded.
8. EXAMINATION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS & BID PRICES
BIDDER shall examine carefully the entire site of the work, including but not restricted to the conditions
and encumbrances related thereto, the plans and specifications, and the proposal and contract forms
therefore. The submission of a bid shall be conclusive evidence that BIDDER has investigated and is
satisfied as to the conditions to be encountered, as to the character, quality, and scope of the work to be
performed, the quantities of material to be furnished, and as to the requirements of the proposal, plans,
specifications, and other contract documents.
BIDDERS must satisfy themselves by personal examination of the work site, plans, specifications, and other
contract documents and by any other means as they may believe necessary, as to the actual physical
conditions, requirements, and difficulties under which the work must be performed. No BIDDER shall at
any time after submission of a proposal make any claim or assertion that there was any misunderstanding or
lack of information regarding the nature or amount of work necessary for the satisfactory completion of the
job. Errors, omissions, or discrepancies found in the plans, specifications, or other contract documents shall
be called to the attention of the AGENCY by fax as instructed and with the date and time given for
BIDDERS questions in the most current NOTICE INVITING BIDS.
Bid prices shall include everything necessary for the completion of construction and fulfillment of the
contract including, but not limited to, furnishing all materials, equipment, tools, plant and other facilities and
all management, superintendence, labor and services, except as may be provided otherwise in the Contract
Documents. In the event of a difference between a price quoted in words and a price quoted in figures for
the same quotation, the words shall be the amount bid.
9. SOLICITATION PROCESS ADMINISTRATION
The solicitation process governs the interaction between Purchasing and both City staff and the City's
potential business partners. The process must be clear, open, and consistent and provide a fair
opportunity to enter the bidding process. City staff is responsible for ensuring solicitation processes are
properly carried out or seek the assistance of Purchasing.
A. Sales and Use Taxes — Pricing schedules will clearly call for the taxes included in the pricing for
the solicitation. Where out of state vendors indicate they are not including/collecting/or paying
the use tax or fail to reflect the amount of use tax, staff will determine the amount of use tax.
This will be included in the vendor's cost for comparison purposes.
Instruction to Bidders Fair Oaks Park Improvements Project, P3021

solicitation response. The City believes in the concept of "substantial" compliance and

(1) Late sealed bids may not be accepted and shall be returned unopened in
accordance with Government Code Section 53068.

the bidder objects to the finding of the Purchasing Agent, then the bidder must
follow the Bid Protest procedures and (3) As part of the City Manager's review
of the protest, the bidder may meet with the City Manager to present its position
on the finding.
D. Bid Correction Rules — In the case of mathematical discrepancy or discrepancies in the
bid submitted, the City shall apply the following Rules to correct the bid amount:
(1) Unit prices shall govern over extended item prices.
(2) The total of the extended item pricing, if corrected by Rule 41, will govern over
the Total Amount of the Bid.
(3) If the Total Amount of the Bid, as submitted by the bidder, has a discrepancy
between the number amount and the amount written in words, then words shall
govern. This rule shall not apply if the City has corrected the Total Amount of
the Bid pursuant to Rule #1 and/or Rule #2.
E. Protest Procedures - Any person or entity may present a formal protest to the City with

be permitted on "no substitute" items.
The designation of materials, equipment, and products on the plans in the specifications not identified by

degree of detail required. This "form, fit, and function" requirement includes the desired type and level of
activity, social interaction, and mental stimulus to be experience by the end user.

equipment, or product must be included with the Proposal (Bid Schedule) at the time the Bid is submitted.
Requests shall include all of the information requested in Proposal and shall be provided in a complete,
clear, and concise manner; otherwise, the Bid will be deemed non-responsive and the BIDDER will be

the City Manager, then the CONTRACTOR agrees that the minimum limits herein above
designated shall be changed accordingly upon request by the City Manager.

shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which the CONTRACTOR may be

CONTRACTOR's activities or the activities of any person or persons for which the
CONTRACTOR is otherwise responsible.

INTRODUCTION
The City of Santa Clarita institutes this Labor Compliance Program ("LCP") for the purpose of
implementing its policy relative to the labor compliance provisions of state and federally -funded
public works contracts and specifically to comply with the provisions of Labor Code Section
1771.5. This LCP contains the labor compliance standards required by state and federal laws,
regulations, and directives, as well as City policies and contract provisions.
The California Labor Code Section 1770, et seq. requires that contractors on public works
projects pay their workers based on the prevailing wage rates which are established and issued by
the Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Labor Statistics and Research.
In establishing this LCP, the City adheres to the statutory requirements as enunciated in Section
1771.5(b) of the Labor Code. Further, it is the intent of the City to actively enforce this LCP by
monitoring City construction sites for the payment of prevailing wage rates, and by requiring
contractors and subcontractors having workers on City sites to submit copies of certified payroll
records demonstrating their compliance with the payment of prevailing wage rates.
The failure of the City to comply with any requirement imposed by the California Code of
Regulations shall not of itself constitute a defense to the failure to pay prevailing wages or to
comply with any other obligations imposed by Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 1720), Part
7, Division 2 of the Labor Code.
Should applicable sections of the Labor Code or Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations
undergo alteration, amendment, or deletion, the City will modify the affected portions of this
program accordingly.
SECTION I

seq., and include, but are not limited to, such types of work as construction, alteration, demolition, repair,
or maintenance work. The Division of Labor Statistics and Research (DLSR) predetermines the
appropriate prevailing wage rates for particular construction trades and crafts by county.
A. Types of Contracts to Which Prevailing WageRe_quirements Apply
Applicable projects under Labor Code Section 1720 et seq.
B. Applicable Dates for Enforcement of the LCP
The applicable dates for enforcement of awarding body Labor Compliance Programs is

Date
Name of person signing and company
The contractors and subcontractors present at the Job Start meeting will be given the opportunity to ask
questions of the LCO relative to the items contained in the Labor Law Requirements Checklist. The
checklist will then be signed by the contractor's representative, a representative of each subcontractor,
and the LCO.
At the Job Start meeting, the LCO will provide the contractor with a copy of the City's LCP package
which includes: a copy of the approved LCP, the checklist of Labor Law Requirements, applicable
Prevailing Wage Rate Determinations, blank certified payroll record forms, fringe benefit statements,
State apprenticeship requirements, and a copy of the Labor Code relating to Public Works and Public
Agencies (Part 7, Chapter 1, Sections 1720-1861).
It will be the contractor's responsibility to provide copies of the LCP package to all listed subcontractors
and to any substituted subcontractors.
SECTION IV
REVIEW OF CERTIFIED PAYROLL RECORDS
A. Certified Payroll Records Required
The contractor and each subcontractor shall maintain payrolls and basic records (timecards, canceled
checks, cash receipts, trust fund forms, accounting ledgers, tax forms, superintendent and foreman
daily logs, etc.) during the course of the work and shall be retained until the later of (1) at least one
year after the acceptance of the public work or five years after the cessation of all labor on a public
work that has not been accepted, or (2) one year after a final decision or judgment in any litigation
under Labor Code Section 1742. Certified Payroll Records on Federally -assisted shall be maintained
for a minimum of three years after acceptance of the public work. Such records shall include the
name, address, and social security number of each worker, his or her classification, a general
description of the work each employee performed each day, the rate of pay (including rates of
contributions for, or costs assumed to provide fringe benefits), daily and weekly number of hours
worked, and actual wages paid.
1. Submittal of Certified Payroll Records
The contractor and each subcontractor shall maintain weekly certified payroll records for
submittal to the City of Santa Clarita LCO, as required. The contractor shall be responsible for
the submittal of payroll records of all its subcontractors. All certified payroll records shall be
accompanied by a statement of compliance signed by the contractor or each subcontractor under
penalty or perjury pursuant to Labor Code Section 1771.5(b)(3) indicating that the payroll records
are correct and complete, that the wage rates contained therein are not less than those determined
by the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations, and that the classifications set forth for
each employee conform with the work performed.
Time cards, front and back copies of cancelled checks, daily logs, employee sign -in sheets and/or
any other records maintained for the purposes of reporting payroll may be requested by the Labor
Compliance Officer at any time and shall be provided within 10 days following the receipt of the
request.
2. Use of Electronic Reporting Forms
a. Certified payroll records required by Labor Code Section 1776 may be maintained and
submitted electronically, subject to the following conditions:
(1) Reports must contain all of the information required by Labor Code Section
1776;
(2) Information must be organized in a manner that is similar or identical to the
Department of Industrial Relations "Public Works Payroll Reporting Form"
(Form A-1-131);
(3) Reports shall be in a format and use software that is readily accessible and
available to Contractors, Subcontractors & the District, LCP and the Department
of Industrial Relations;
(4) Reports must be in the form of a non -modifiable image or record: and
(5) Reports must bear an electronic signature or include a copy of an original
certification made on paper or printed out and submitted on paper with an
original signature.
b. No contractor or subcontractor shall be mandated to submit or receive electronic reports when
it otherwise lacks the resources or capacity to do' so, nor shall any contractor or
subcontractor be required to purchase or use proprietary software that is not generally
available to the public.
3. Full Accountability
Each individual, laborer or craftsperson working on a public works contract must appear on the
payroll. The basic concept is that the employer who pays the trades worker must report that
individual on its payroll. This includes individuals working as apprentices in an apprenticeable
trade. Owner -operators are to be reported by the contractor employing them; rental equipment
operators are to be reported by the rental company paying the workers' wages.
Sole owners and partners who work on a contract must also submit a certified payroll record
listing the days and hours worked, and the trade classification descriptive of the work actually
done.
The contractor shall make generally available for inspection such records by the Department of
Industrial Relations, and shall permit representatives of each to interview tradesworkers during
working hours on the project site.
4
4. Responsibility for Subcontractors
The contractor shall be responsible for ensuring adherence to labor standards provisions by its
subcontractors. Moreover, the prime contractor is responsible for Labor Code violations of its
subcontractors in accordance with Labor Code Section 1775.
5. Payment to Employees
Employees must be paid unconditionally, and not less often than once each week, the full
amounts, that are due and payable for the period covered by the particular payday. Thus, an
employer must establish a fixed workweek (Sunday through Saturday, for example) and an
established payday (such as every Friday or the preceding day should such payday fall on a
holiday). On each and every payday, each worker must be paid all sums due as of the end of the
preceding workweek and must be provided with an itemized wage statement.
If an individual is called a subcontractor, whereas, in fact, he/she is merely a journey level
mechanic supplying only his/her labor, such an individual would not be deemed a bona fide
subcontractor and must be reported on the payroll of the prime contractor as a trades worker.
Moreover, any person who does not hold a valid contractor's license cannot be a subcontractor,
and anyone hired by that person is the worker or employee of the general contractor for purposes
of prevailing wage requirements, certified payroll reporting and workers' compensation laws.
The worker's rate for straight time hours must equal or exceed the rate specified in the contract
by reference to the "Prevailing Wage Determinations" for the class of work actually performed.
Any work performed on Saturday, Sunday, and/or on a holiday, or portion thereof, must be paid
the prevailing rate established for those days regardless of the fixed workweek where required by
the Labor Code. The hourly rate for hours worked in excess of 8 hours in a day and 40 hours in a
workweek shall be premium pay. All work performed on Saturday, Sunday and holidays shall be
paid pursuant to the Prevailing Wage determination where required by the Labor Code.
B. Apprentices
Apprentices shall be permitted to work as such only when they are registered, individually, under a
bona fide apprenticeship program registered and approved by the State Division of Apprenticeship
Standards. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeypersons in any craft/classification shall not
be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to its entire workforce under the registered
program.
Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate who is not registered shall be paid the
journey level wage rate determined by the Department of Industrial Relations for the classification of
the work he/she actually performed. Pre -apprentice trainees, trainees in non-apprenticeable crafts,
and others who are not duly registered will not be permitted on public works projects unless they are
paid full prevailing wage rates as journeypersons.
Compliance with California Labor Code Section 1777.5 requires all public works contractors and
subcontractors to:
1. Submit contract award information to the apprenticeship committee for each apprenticeable craft
or trade in the area of the Project;
2. Request dispatch of apprentices from the applicable Apprenticeship Program(s) and employ
apprentices on public works projects in a ratio to journeypersons which in no case shall be less
than one (1) hour of apprentice work to each five (5) hours of journeyperson work; and
5
3. Contribute to the applicable Apprenticeship Program(s) or the California Apprenticeship Council
in the amount identified in the prevailing wage rate publication for journeypersons and
apprentices. If payments are not made to an Apprenticeship Program, they shall be made to the
California Apprenticeship Council, Post Office Box 420603, San Francisco, CA 94142.
4. Pay properly registered apprentices no less than the prevailing apprentice rate.
6. Pay the regular prevailing wage rate (i) to any worker who is not a duly registered apprentice and
(ii) for all hours in excess of the maximum ration permitted under Labor Code Section 1777.5(g),
as determined at the conclusion of the employing contractor or subcontractor's work on the public
works contract.
If the contractor is registered to train apprentices, it shall furnish written evidence of the registration
(i.e., Apprenticeship Agreement or Statement of Registration) of its training program and apprentices,
as well as the ratios allowed and the wage rates required to be paid thereunder for the area of
construction, prior to using any apprentices in the contract work. It should be noted that a prior
approval for a separate project does not confirm approval to train on any project. The
contractor/subcontractor must check with the applicable Joint Apprenticeship Committee to verify
status.
The City will inform contractors and subcontractors bidding public works projects about
apprenticeship requirements, send copies of awards and notices of discrepancies to the Division of
Apprenticeship Standards as required under Section 1773.3 of the Labor Code; and refer complains
and promptly report suspected violations of apprenticeship requirements to the Division of
Apprenticeship Standards.
The Labor Compliance Program shall be responsible for enforcing prevailing wage requirements for
apprentices consistent with the practice of the Labor Commissioner.
C. Audit of Certified Payroll Records
An Audit, as defined in the California Code of Regulations, shall be prepared by the Labor
Compliance Program whenever the Labor Compliance Program has determined that there has been a
violation of the Public Works Chapter of the Labor Code resulting in the underpayment of wages. An
"Audit" for this purpose shall be defined as a written summary reflecting prevailing wage deficiencies
for each underpaid workers, and including any penalties to be assessed under Labor Code Section
1775 and 1813, as determined by the Labor Compliance Program after consideration of the best
information available as to the actual hours worked, amounts paid, and classifications of workers
employed in connection with the public work. Such available information may include, but is not
limited to, worker interviews, complaints from workers or other interested persons, all time cards,
cancelled checks, cash receipts, trust fund forms, books, documents, schedules, forms, reports,
receipts or other evidences which reflect job assignments, work schedules by days and hours, and the
disbursement by way of cash, check, or in whatever form or manner, of funds to a person(s) by job
classification and/or skill pursuant to a public works project. An Audit is sufficiently detailed when it
enables the Labor Commissioner, if requested to determine the amount of forfeiture under section
16437, to draw reasonable conclusions as to compliance with the requirements of the Public Works
Chapter of the Labor Code, and to enable accurate computation of underpayments of wages to
workers and of applicable penalties and forfeitures. An Audit using the forms in Attachment B, when
accompanied by a brief narrative identifying the Bid Advertisement Date of the contract for public
work and summarizing the nature of the violation and the basis upon which the determination of
underpayment was made, presumptively demonstrates sufficiency.
6
After the Labor Compliance Program has determined that violations of the prevailing wage laws have
resulted in the underpayment of wages and an audit has been prepared, notification shall be provided
to the contractor and affected subcontractor of an opportunity to resolve the wage deficiency prior to
a determination of the amount of forfeiture by the Labor Commissioner pursuant to these Labor
Compliance Program regulations. The contractor and affected subcontractor shall be provided at least
10 days following such notification to submit exculpatory information consistent with the "good faith
mistake" factors set forth in Labor Code Section 1775(a)(2)(A)(i) and (ii). If, based upon the
contractor's submission, the Labor Compliance Program reasonable concludes that the failure to pay
the correct wages was a good faith mistake, and has no knowledge that the contractor and affected
subcontractor have a prior record of failing to meet their prevailing wage obligations, the Labor
Compliance Program shall not be required to request the Labor Commissioner for a determination of
the amount of penalties to be assessed under Labor Code Section 1775 if the underpayment of wages

SECTION V
REPORTING OF WILLFUL VIOLATIONS TO
THE LABOR COMMISSIONER
If an investigation reveals that a willful violation of the Labor Code has occurred, the LCO will make a
written report to the Labor Commissioner which shall include: (1) an audit consisting of a comparison of
payroll records to the best available information as to the actual hours worked, (2) the classification of
workers employed on the public works contract. Six (6) types of willful violations are reported:
A. Failure to Comply with Prevailing Wage Rate Requirements Failure to comply with prevailing
wage rate requirements (as set forth in the Labor Code and City contracts) is determined a willful
violation whenever less than the stipulated basic hourly rate is paid to tradesworkers, or if
overtime, holiday rates, fringe benefits, and/or employer payments are paid at a rate less than
stipulated.
B. Falsification of Payroll Records, Misclassification of Work, and/or Failure to Accurately Report
Hours of Work Falsification of payroll records and failure to accurately report hours of work is
characterized by deliberate underreporting of hours of work; underreporting the headcount;
stating that the proper prevailing wage rate was paid when, in fact, it was not; clearly
misclassifying the work performed by the worker; and any other deliberate and/or willful act
which results in the falsification or inaccurate reporting of payroll records.
C. Failure to Submit Certified Payroll Records The contractors and subcontractors shall have ten
(10) days upon notification by the LCO in which to comply with the requirement of submittal of
weekly and/or to correct inaccuracies or omissions that have been detected.
D. For Failure to Pay Fringe Benefits Fringe benefits are defined as the amounts stipulated for
employer payments or trust fund contributions and are determined to be part of the required
prevailing wage rate. Failure to pay or provide fringe benefits and/or make trust fund
contributions on a timely basis is equivalent to payment of less than the stipulated wage rate and
shall be reported to the Labor Commissioner as a willful violation, upon completion of an
investigation and audit.
E. Failure to Pay the Correct Apprentice Rates and/or Misclassification of Workers as Apprentices
Failure to pay the correct apprentice rate or classifying a worker as an apprentice when not
properly registered is equivalent to payment of less than the stipulated wage rate and shall be
reported to the Labor Commissioner, as a willful violation, upon completion of an investigation
and audit.
F. For the taking of Kickbacks Accepting or extracting kickbacks from employee wages under
Labor Code Section 1778 constitutes a felony and may be prosecuted by the appropriate
enforcement agency.
SECTION VI
ENFORCEMENT ACTION
A. Duty of the Awarding Body
The City of Santa Clarita, as the awarding body having an approved LCP, has a duty to the Director
of the Department of Industrial Relations to enforce Labor Code Section 1720 et seq. and the
procedural regulations of the Department of Industrial Relations in a manner consistent with the
practice of the Labor Commissioner and DLSE and regulations found at Title 8, California Code
Regulations, Section 16000 et seq.
B. Withholding Contract Payments When Payroll Records are Delinquent or Inadequate
1. "Withhold" means to cease payments by the awarding body, its agents or others who pay on its
behalf to the contractor. Where the violation is by a subcontractor, the contractor shall be notified
of the nature of the violation and reference made to its rights under Labor Code Section 1729.
2. "Contracts" except as otherwise provided by agreement, means only contracts under a single
master contract, or contracts entered into as stages of a single project which may be the subject of
withholding;
3. "Delinquent payroll records" means those not submitted on the basis set forth in the City
Contract;
4. "Inadequate payroll records" are any one of the following:
a. A record lacking the information required by Labor Code Section 1776;
b. A record which contains all of the required information but is not certified, or is certified by
someone not an agent of the contractor or subcontractor;
c. A record remaining uncorrected for one payroll period, after the awarding body has given the
contractor notice of inaccuracies detected by audit or record review. However, prompt
correction will stop any duty to withhold if such inaccuracies do not amount to 1 percent of
the entire certified weekly payroll in dollar value and do not affect more than half the persons
listed as workers employed on that certified weekly payroll, as defined in Labor Code Section
1776 and Title 8 CCR Section 16401. Prompt correction will stop any duty to withhold if
such inaccuracies are de minimus.
The withholding of contract payments when payroll records are delinquent or inadequate is
required by Labor Code Section 1771.5(b)(5), and it does not require the prior approval of the
Labor Commissioner. The LCP shall only withhold those payments due or estimated to be due
to the contractor or subcontractor whose payroll records are delinquent or inadequate, plus any
additional amount that the Labor Compliance Program has reasonable cause to believe may be
needed to cover a back wage and penalty assessment against the contractor or subcontractor
whose payroll records are delinquent or inadequate; provided that a contractor shall be required
in turn to cease all payments to a subcontractor whose payroll records are delinquent or
inadequate until the Labor Compliance Program provides notice that the subcontractor has cured
the delinquency or deficiency.
9
When contract payments are held under this section, the Labor Compliance Program shall
provide the contractor and subcontractor, if applicable, with immediate written notice that
includes all of the following: (1) a statement that payments are being withheld due to delinquent
or inadequate payroll records, and that identifies what records are missing or states why records
that have been submitted are deemed inadequate; (2) specifies the amount being withheld; and
(3) informs the contractor or subcontractor of the right to request an expedited hearing to review
the withholding of contract payments under Labor Code Section 1742, limited to the issue of
whether the records are delinquent or inadequate or the Labor Compliance Program has
exceeded its authority under this section.
No contract payments shall be withheld solely on the basis of delinquent or inadequate payroll
records after the required records have been produced.
In addition to withholding contract payments based on delinquent or inadequate payroll records,
penalties shall be assessed under Labor Code Section 1776(8) for failure to timely comply with a
written request for certified payroll records. The assessment of penalties under Labor Code
Section 1776(g) does require the prior approval of the Labor Commissioner under section 16436
of these regulations.
C. Withholding Contract Payments When, After Investigation, It Is Established That Underpayment or
Other Violation Has Occurred
1. "Withhold and "contracts" have the same meaning set forth in sections 16435(a) and 16435(b) of
the California Code of Regulations.
2. Where the violation is by a subcontractor, the general contractor shall be notified of the nature of
the violation and reference made to its right Under Labor Code Section 1720.
3. "Amount equal to the underpayment" is the total of the following determined by payroll review,
audit, or admission of contractor or subcontractor:
a. The difference between the amounts paid to workers and the correct General Prevailing Wage
Rate of Per Diem Wages as defined in Labor Code Section 1773, and determined to be the
prevailing rate due workers in such craft, classification or trade in which they were employed
and the amounts paid;
b. The difference between the amounts paid on behalf of workers and the correct amounts of

classification, or trade in which they were employed and the amounts paid;
c. Estimated amounts of "illegal taking of wages"; and
d. Amounts of apprenticeship training contributions paid to neither the program sponsor's
training trust nor the California Apprenticeship Council;
e. Estimated penalties under Labor Code Sections 1775, 1776 and 1813.
4. The withholding of contract payments, when after investigation, it is established that
underpayment or other violations have occurred requires the prior approval of the Labor
Commissioner under sections 16436 and 16437 of the California Code of Regulations.
10
2. Provisions relating to the penalties under Labor Code Sections 1775, and 1813:
a. Pursuant to Labor Code Section 17751 the contractor shall, as a penalty to the City, forfeit up
to two hundred dollars ($200) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid
less than the prevailing wages.
b. Pursuant to Labor Code Section 1813, the contractor shall, as a penalty to the City on whose
behalf the contract is awarded, forfeit twenty-five dollars ($25) for each worker employed in
the execution of the contract by the contractor or by any subcontractor for each calendar day
during which such worker is required or permitted to work more than 8 hours in any one

the Labor Commissioner's receipt of copies of the following: (1) The Notice of Withholding of
Contract Payments authorized by Labor Code Section 1771.6(a); (2) an Audit as defined in

attention, a short statement should accompany the proposal for a forfeiture, with a
recommended penalty amount, pursuant to Labor Code Section 1775(a);
g. Where the City seeks only wages or a penalty less than $200 per calendar day as part of the

Important Additional Information: This is a Notice of Temporary Withholding of Contract Payments for

Labor Code § § 1775 and 1776 or any other statute. Contract payments cannot continue to be withheld pursuant to
this notice, once the required records have been produced. However, the contractor and subcontractor may still be
subject to the assessment of back wages and penalties and the withholding of contract payments if, upon
investigation, a determination is made that the contractor or subcontractor violated the public works requirements of
the Labor Code.
This Notice only addresses rights and responsibilities under state law. Awarding bodies, labor compliance
programs, and contractors may have other rights or responsibilities under federal or local law, where applicable, and
may also have additional rights or remedies under the public works contract.

Liquidated Damages
In accordance with Labor Code Section 1742.11 after 60 days following the service of this Notice of Withholding of Contract
Payments, the affected contractor, subcontractor, and surety on a bond or bonds issued to secure the payment of wages covered by the
notice shall be liable for liquidated damages in an amount equal to the wages, or portion thereof that still remain unpaid. If the notice
subsequently is overturned or modified after administrative or judicial review, liquidated damages shall be payable only on the wages
found to be due and unpaid. If the contractor or subcontractor demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Director of the Department of
Industrial Relations that he or she had substantial grounds for believing the assessment or notice to be an error, the Director shall
waive payment of the liquidated damages.
Notwithstanding the above, in accordance with Labor Code 1742.1 (b), there shall be no liability for liquidated damages if the full
amount found due in this Notice, including penalties, has been deposited with the Department of Industrial Relations, within 60 days
following service of this Notice, for the Department to hold in escrow pending administrative and judicial review. The Department
shall release such funds, plus any interest earned, at the conclusion of all administrative and judicial review to the persons and entities
who are found to be entitled to such funds.

Contract Payments. The undertaking shall be on the condition that, if any decision is issued by the Director upholding this Notice in
any respect, the contractor shall pay the amount owed pursuant to a decision that is final under Labor Code Section 1742, unless the
parties have executed a settlement agreement for the payment of some other amount, in which case the contractor shall pay the amount
that the contractor is obligated to pay under the terms of the settlement agreement. The undertaking must provide that if the contractor
fails to pay the amount owed within 10 days of the date the decision is final or the execution of the settlement agreement, a portion of
the undertaking equal to the amount owed, or the entire undertaking if the amount exceeds the undertaking is forfeited to the Labor
Commissioner for the State of California for the purpose of satisfying the amounts owed under this Notice. A payment bond obtained
by a contractor for the public works project which is the subject to this Notice shall not be accepted as an undertaking unless the
following two conditions are completely satisfied: (1) the payment bond provides the payment of the full amount of this Notice,
including but not limited to, all wages, training, trust contributions, and penalties, and (2) the conditions of payment set forth above
are expressly agreed to by the affected contractor(s) and the surety which issued the payment bond. The undertaking should be
forwarded to the Department as directed below. The Department's Accounting Office will hold the undertaking until the
administrative and judicial review is completed. The disbursement of the bond funds will follow the same process as described above

Please be advised that this office has received your Request for Review, dated , and pertaining to the Notice of
Withholding of Contract Payments issued by the Labor Compliance Program in Case No.
In accordance with Labor Code Section 1742(b), this notice provides you with an opportunity to review evidence to be utilized by the
Labor Compliance Program at the hearing on the Request for Review, and the procedures for reviewing such evidence.
Rule 17224 of the Prevailing Wage Hearing Regulations provides as follows:
A(a) Within ten (10) days following its receipt of a Request for Review, the Enforcing Agency shall also notify the
affected contractor or subcontractor of its opportunity and the procedures for reviewing evidence to be utilized by
the Enforcing Agency at the hearing of the Request for Review.
(b) An Enforcing Agency shall be deemed to have provided the opportunity to review evidence required by this
Rule if it (1) gives the affected contractor or subcontractor the option at said party's own expense to either (i) obtain
copies of all such evidence through a commercial copying service or (ii) inspect and copy such evidence at the office
of the Enforcing Agency during normal business hours; or if (2) the Enforcing Agency at its own expense forwards
copies of all such evidence to the affected contractor or subcontractor.
(c) The evidence required to be provided under this Rule shall include the identity of witnesses whose testimony the
Enforcing Agency intends to present, either in person at the hearing or by declaration or affidavit. This provision
shall not be construed as requiring the Enforcing Agency to prepare or provide any separate listing of witnesses
whose identities are disclosed within the written materials made available under subpart (a).
(d) The Enforcing Agency shall make evidence available for review as specified in subparts (a) through (c) within
20 days of its receipt of the Request for Review; provided that, this deadline may be extended by written request or
agreement of the affected contractor or subcontractor. The Enforcing Agency's failure to make evidence available
for review as required by Labor Code Section 1742(b) and this Rule, shall preclude the enforcing agency from
introducing such evidence in proceedings before the Hearing officer or the Director.
(e) This Rule shall not preclude the Enforcing Agency from relying upon or presenting any evidence first obtained
after the initial disclosure of evidence under subparts (a) through (d), provided that, such evidence is promptly
disclosed to the affected contractor or subcontractor. This Rule also shall not preclude the Enforcing Agency from
presenting previously undisclosed evidence to rebut new or collateral claims raised by another party in the
proceeding.

SECTION IV
OPERATION MANUAL
Site vi%itatinn%
Representatives of the Labor Compliance Program shall conduct in-person inspections at the site or sites at which
the contract for public work is being performed ("On -Site Visits"). On -Site Visits may be undertaken randomly or
as deemed necessary by the Labor Compliance Program, but shall be undertaken during each week that workers
are present at sites at which the contract for public work is being performed. All On -Site Visits shall include visual
inspection of (1) the copy of the determinations of the Director of Industrial Relations of the prevailing wa eg rate
of per diem wages required to be posted at each Job site in compliance with Labor Code Section 1773.2, and (2) the
Notice of Labor Compliance Program Approval required to be posted at the job site in accordance with Section
16429 of the of the California Code of Regulations, listing a telephone number to call for inquiries, questions, or
assistance with regard to the Labor Compliance Program. On -Site Visits may include other activities deemed
necessary by the Labor Compliance Program to independently corroborate prevailing wage payments reported on
payroll records furnished by contractors and subcontractors.
1. Safety is the paramount factor for any site visit to any City of Santa Clarita construction projects. Do not enter any
area that appears unsafe. Site monitor is expected to exercise reasonable caution at all times.
2. All authorized personnel visiting any City of Santa Clarita construction site are required to be properly identified as a
City representative by wearing visible picture ID's (badge), or identifying themselves as such. Additionally, all
authorized personnel are required to wear hard hats and safety shoes.
3. Authorized personnel shall visit all sites on a non-interference basis and take a minimum amount of the workers' time
for interview purposes.
4. Upon arrival at a site, the site monitor will check in at the site superintendent's (contractor's) trailer prior to any
interviewing. In the event there is not a construction trailer, you will check in at the site's administrative office.
Identify yourself and state the purpose of the visit. Sign in if required to do so. If the site superintendent cites some
reason that denies access to the site, promptly and politely remove yourself. Make a note of this occurrence and
include in your report to the LCO.
5. Check to see that the following are displayed in the contractor's trailer:
• Prevailing wage Determinations are posted
• Notice of Labor Compliance Program Approval
• Sign -in Log
• Listing of subcontractors on site
If any of these items are not readily visible, remind the contractor that these postings are part of the contractual
requirements. On subsequent visits, make sure that these items are posted, or the contractor will be found to be
in noncompliance.
6. There will be times when the site superintendent is somewhere on the site and/or there is no contractor present in the
trailer. You should check in at the City's Inspector of Record (IOR) trailer. The IOR will also be able to tell you
which contractors are on the site at that time. If all trailers are empty or locked, try to locate the site superintendent or
IOR on the site prior to commencing interviewing.
42
Interviewing
1. Once you have checked in with the site superintendent and obtain access to the site, try to locate tradespersons
working in clusters. For instance, several painters, electricians, roofers, etc. working in one area. Approach the
workers individually in a non -threatening, professional manner. Identify yourself, indicate that you are City's
representative, and that you need only a few seconds of their time to ask some very generic questions to ensure that
they are receiving the proper rate of pay for the type of work they are doing. Again, do not endanger yours or any
tradesperson's safety in conducting these interviews. Do not insist that someone on a scaffold 40 feet in the air come
down for an interview. Do not ask anyone to form a line until you can get to them; allow them to continue working
until you can get to them individually.
These interviews are random; two or three tradespersons for each subcontractor are more than sufficient for one visit.
Any persons missed are usually picked up on the next visit. If only one tradesperson is at the site, then interview that
person if possible. If you are told that the rest of the crew will be there in an hour, do not wait, unless your total site
interviewing will take that length of time. Thirty minutes of interviewing per site is typically sufficient, depending
upon the site size and/or number of subcontractors present. Contractor tradesperson should also be interviewed.
2. Using the Labor Compliance Site Visitation Interview form, ask each person the following: name, social security
number, employer, title (trade), rate of pay, and task being performed at the time of interview.
3. Should someone decline to speak with you, respect those wishes. If someone asks if this is union -related, tell them
no. The City of Santa Clarita works with both open and closed shop trades.
4. If you try to interview someone who does not speak English and you cannot communicate in the appropriate
language, try to locate a coworker who can interpret for you. If you find an entire crew unable to speak English and
no interpreter, include this in your report to the LCO.
5. If someone refuses to disclose his social security number to you, respect those wishes. However, assure that person
that all information given is kept strictly confidential.
6. If someone does not know their rate of pay (most tradespersons don't know), ask for a guesstimate. If the response is,
"whatever prevailing wage is", so indicate on the form.
7. If someone indicates that he is an apprentice, make sure that you ask him what period. These can be anywhere from
1St to 10th. If he's not sure, ask him how many years he's been apprenticed in the specific trade and/or to guesstimate
and so indicate on the interview form.
8. ALWAYS thank them for their time.
9. Keep in mind that you are there to collect information only, do not tell them how to do their jobs. Should you witness
what you consider a potentially unsafe or unwarranted condition, you are to contact the site inspector or job
superintendent of your findings immediately and make a note on your site visitation log of what you observed. Upon
your return to the office, report your findings to the LCO.
Reporting
1. All original interview forms shall be submitted to the LCO no later than the end of each workweek.
