or trade to which he or she is registered.
(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 Califomia Apprenticeship Council.
(d) 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.
(fl 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 journeyrnen 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.
Attachment No. 3
Page 8 of 11
(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 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 Apprenriceship 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 fmds 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.
(1) When an exemption is granted pursuant to subdivision (k) to an organization that represents contractors
in a specific trade ftom 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 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
Attachment No. 3
Page 9 of 11
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 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.
(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 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).
(p)All decisions of an apprenticeship program under this section are subject to Section 3081.
California Labor Code Section 1813. Forfeiture for violations; contract stipulation; report of
violations
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.

meet within the 45 days or within the mutually agreed to extension of time following receipt of a claim sent
by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the public entity shall have up to three days
following the next duly publicly noticed meeting of the governing body after the 45-day period, or
extension, expires to provide the claimant a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the
undisputed portion.
(D) Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within 60 days
after the public entity issues its written statement. If the public entity fails to issue a written statement,
paragraph(3) shall apply.
(2)(A) If the claimant disputes the public entity's written response, or if the public entity fails to respond to
a claim issued pursuant to this secrion within the time prescribed, the claimant may demand in writing an
informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. Upon receipt of a demand in
writing sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the public entity shall schedule a
meet and confer conference within 30 days for settlement of the dispute.

portion of the claim remains in dispute, the public entity shall provide the claimant a written statement
identifying the portion of the claim that remains in dispute and the portion that is undisputed. Any payment
due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within 60 days after the public entity

mediate with regard to the disputed portion of the claim. Each party shall bear the fees and costs charged by
its respective mediator in connection with the selection of the neutral mediator. If inediation is unsuccessful,
the parts of the claim remaining in dispute shall be subject to applicable procedures outside this section.
(C) For purposes of this section, mediation includes any nonbinding process, including, but not limited to,
neutral evaluation or a dispute review board, in which an independent third party or board assists the parties
in dispute resolution through negotiation or by issuance of an evaluation. Any mediation utilized shall
conform to the timeframes in this section.

arbitration or the Public Works Contract Arbitration Program, if inediation under this section does not
resolve the parties' dispute.
(3) Failure by the public entity to respond to a claim from a contractor within the time periods described in
this subdivision or to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section shall result in the claim being
deemed rejected in its entirety. A claim that is denied by reason of the public entity's failure to have
responded to a claim, or its failure to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section, shall not
constitute an adverse finding with regard to the merits of the claim or the responsibility or qualifications of
the claimant.
(4) Amounts not paid in a timely manner as required by this section shall bear interest at 7 percent per
annum.
(5) If a subcontractor or a lower tier subcontractor lacks legal standing to assert a claim against a public
entity because privity of contract does not exist, the contxactor may present to the public entity a claim on
behalf of a subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor. A subcontractor may request in writing, either on his
or her own behalf or on behalf of a lower tier subcontractor, that the contractor present a claim for work
which was performed by the subcontractor or by a lower tier subcontractor on behalf of the subcontractor.
The subcontractor requesting that the claim be presented to the public entity shall furnish reasonable
documentation to support the claim. Within 45 days of receipt of this written request, the contractor shall
notify the subcontractor in writing as to whether the contractor presented the claim to the public entity and,
if the original contractor did not present the claim, provide the subcontractor with a statement of the reasons
for not having done so. �
(e) The text of this section or a summary of it shall be set forth in the plans or specifications for any public
works project that may give rise to a claim under this section.
(fl A waiver of the rights granted by this section is void and contrary to public policy, provided, however,
that(1)upon receipt of a claim, the parties may mutually agree to waive, in writing, mediation and proceed
directly to the commencement of a civil action or binding arbitration, as applicable; and (2) a public entity
may prescribe reasonable change order, claim, and dispute resolution procedures and requirements in
addition to the provisions of this section, so long as the contractual provisions do not conflict with or
otherwise impair the timeframes and procedures set forth in this section.
(g)This section applies to contracts entered into on or after January 1, 2017.
