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 Califomia Apprenticeship Council.
d) If the contrac[or 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 rario 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£or 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 confractor, shall arrange for the dispatch of apprentices to the contractor. A contractor covered
by an apprenticeship program's standards shall not be required [o 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 acwrdance with rules and

includes any subcontractor under a contractor who performs any public works not excluded by subdivision
o).
e) Before 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 ofjourneyman hows 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 awazding body, if requested by [he
awarding body. Within 60 days after concluding work on the confract, each contractor and subcontractor
shall submit to the awazding body, if requested, and to the apprenticeship program a verified statement of the
journeyman and apprentice hours performed on the contrac[. The information under this subdivision shall be
public. The apprenticeship programs shall retain this infotmation for 12 months.
fl The apprenticeship program supplying 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 joumeymen 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 if the contractor agrees to be bound by those standards. However, 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 joumeyman work shall apply during any day or portion of a day when
any joumeyman 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 conhact or, in the case of a subcontractor, before
the end of the subcontract. However, the contractor shall endeavor,to the greatest extent possible,to employ
AttachmentNo. 1 ponv
Page 10 of 13
apprentices during the same time period that the journeymen in the same craft or trade are employed at [he
jobsite. When an hourly apprenticeship ratio is not feasible for a particular craft or trade, the Administrator
of Apprenticeship, 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 who has agreed to be covered by an apprenticeship progam's standards
upon the issuance of the approval certificate, or who 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 j oumeymen
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 joumeymen, the Adminish ator of Apprenticeship may grant a certificate
exempting the contractor from the 1-to-5 hourly ratio, as set forth in this section for that crafr or trade.
k)An apprenticeship program has the discretion to grant to a participating contractor or contractor association
a certificate, which shall be subjec[ to the approval of the Administrator of Apprenticeship, exempting the
conuactor from the 1-[0-5 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-thir[ieth of its journeymen
annually through apprenticeship fraining, 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 proper[y 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.
1) If 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.
m)(1) A contractor to whom a contract is awazded, who, in performing any of the work under the contract,
employs journeymen or apprentices in any apprenticeable craft or trade shall contribute to the Califomia
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 contrac[or to an approved apprenticeship program that
can supply apprentices to the site of the public works project. The contractor may add the amount of the
contributions in computing his or her bid for the contract.
2)(A) 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 Department of Industrial Relations for administering this subdivision, by making
Attachment No. 1 poas
Page 11 of 13
grants to approved apprenticeship programs for the purpose of training apprentices. The grant funds shall be
distributed as follows:
i) If there is an approved multiemployer apprenticeship program serving the same craft or trade and
geographic azea for which the training conh-ibutions were made to the council, a grant to that program shall
be made.
ii)If there are two or more approved multiemployer apprenticeship programs serving the same craft or trade
and county for which the training contributions were made to the council, the grant shall be divided among
those programs based on the number of apprentices from that county registered in each program.
iii) All training contributions not distributed under clauses (i) and (ii) shall be used to defray the future
expenses of the Deparhnent of Industrial Relations for the administration and enforcement of apprenticeship
and preapprenticeship standards and requirements under this code.
B)An apprenticeship progam shall only be eligible to receive grant funds pursuant to this subdivision if the
apprenticeship program agrees,prior[o the receipt of any grant funds,to keep adequate records that document
the expenditure of grant funds and to make all records available to the Depar[ment of Industrial Relations so
that the Department of Industrial Relations is able to verify that grant funds were used solely for training
apprentices. Foi purposes of this subparagraph, adequate records include, but are not limited to, invoices,
receipts, and canceled checks that account for the expenditure of grant funds. This subpazagraph shall not be
deemed to require an apprenticeship program to provide the DepaRment of Industrial Relations with more
documentafion than is necessary to verify the appropriate expenditure of grant funds made pursuant to this
subdivision.
C)The Department of Indusirial Relations shall verify that grants made pursuant to this subdivision are used
solely to fund training apprentices. If an apprenticeship program is unable to demonstrate how grant funds
are expended or if an apprenticeship program is found to be using grant funds for purposes other than training
apprentices, then the apprenticeship program shall not be eligible to receive any future grant pursuant to this
subdivision and the Department of Industrial Relations may initiate the process to rescind the registration of
tbe apprenticeship program.
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. Upon appropriation by the
Legislature, all moneys in the Apprenticeship Training Contribution Fund shall be used for the purpose of
carrying out this subdivision and to pay the expenses of the Department of Industrial Relations.
n) 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.
o) This section does not apply to conhacts of general contractors or to contracts of specialty contractors not
bidding for work through a general or prime contractor when the contrac[s of general contractors or those
specialty contractors involve less than thirry thousand dollars ($30,000).
p)An awarding body that implements an approved labor compliance program in accordance with subdivision
b) of Sec[ion 1771.5 may, with the approval of the director, assist in the enforcement of this section under
the terms and conditions prescribed by the director.
