More specific program goals were established for each program consistent with District-wide goals. The District achieved a number of different accomplishments during Fiscal Year (FY) 2017-18. As a results oriented organization, each program has clearly defined goals and objectives. During this period, there were four priority projects that contributed to achieving not only the District-wide goals, but also the District- wide Vision: Advanced Metering Infrastructure Installation, Hydroelectric Generation Turbine Project, City Creek Manhole Reinforcement and Pumalo Casa Main Extension. These projects are included in the Five- Year Capital Improvement Program. POPULAR ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT6 GOAL ONE Partner with organizations in an effort to enhance the quality of life for our community members beyond water and wastewater services. GOAL TWO Implement measures to support enhancement of the District’s Brand, including increased Board Member participation both within and outside of the service area boundaries. GOAL FOUR Actively participate in necessary processes, including legal and regulatory requirements, essential to reaching the long-range goal of constructing the Sterling Natural Resource Center. GOAL FIVE Successfully negotiate an employee Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that protects the District’s resources while promoting employee morale. GOAL THREE Conduct a comprehensive update to the current Water Master Plan for long-term planning purposes. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS 7EAST VALLEY WATER DISTRICT Each year as part of the budget process, the District’s Program Managers and Supervisors compile and submit a list of capital outlay requests for consideration. Staff reviews and prioritizes the list of equipment based on a needs assessment and the amount of funding available. Proposed Capital Improvement Projects for the budgeted fiscal year were submitted by the Engineering, Operations and Maintenance Programs in accordance with the anticipated needs of the District as outlined in the 2013 Wastewater Master Plan and 2014 Water Master Plan.

A service line leak required all connected properties to be without water until repairs were made. This project reinforced a sewer main manhole that had been exposed by a realignment of flows in City Creek and subsequent soil erosion. In January 2015, the District entered into an agreement with the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District for the construction, financing and maintenance of a hydroelectric power generation facility. Turbines at the facility will be turned by water flowing into the District from the State Water Project to produce up to 220 KW. This project consists of updating manual read meters throughout the District with AMI hardware, software and meters. Phase 1 was completed during FY 2017-18. Remaining accounts will be upgraded in three phases over the next five years. POPULAR ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT8POPULAR ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT8 opening2021 The Sterling Natural Resource Center will treat 8 million gallons of wastewater a day initially, with the ability to expand to 10 million gallons a day, and recharge it into the local Bunker Hill Groundwater Basin where it will be stored for use in future drought years.

The graphs below represent the District’s combined revenue and expenses for FY 2017-18. For comparison purposes, FY 2015-16 and FY 2016-17 revenue and expenses have also been included. Note: Please refer to the District’s CAFR for a comprehensive breakdown of expenses which includes the availability of additional details. HOW IS REVENUE MANAGED? The District utilizes revenue to fund daily operations, repay loans, bonds and interest. Remaining revenue is invested back into capital improvement projects to help maintain and improve the District’s system health so that EVWD may continue taking steps to support the Vision statement of providing world class public service. Revenue also provides funding for conservation and rebate programs, which empowers customers to be efficient water users and encourages water savings indoors and out. Excess net revenue after covering expense and payments is placed in Replacement Reserves, the District’s account set aside to meet unexpected costs. REVENUE EXPENSES $41.29 MILLION $40.37 MILLION $34.73 MILLION $37.92 MILLION $35.69 MILLION $34.50 MILLION operating non-operating contributions POPULAR ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT12 REVENUE BY SOURCES Revenue is used to fund day-to-day operation of the District. East Valley Water District receives 97 percent of its revenue from user rates and fees; the District receives no increment from property or sales taxes. Rates and fees are reviewed on 3 to 5 year cycles and are adjusted as necessary to cover the costs of providing services to ratepayers. Note: The District’s water sales and meter charge revenue are expected to decrease through FY 2018-19 due to rate increases water usage tends to reduce. Additional information regarding the approved rates can be found at eastvalley.org/rates. REVENUE HISTORY & FORECAST (IN MILLIONS) Water sales are based on the volume of water used by a customer during the monthly billing period. Meter charges are fixed monthly charges assessed to customers based on the size of the service connection to their property. Wastewater collection charges are 1) fixed monthly charges for single family residences, and 2) a combination of fixed and volumetric charges for commercial and multi-family customers. Wastewater treatment rates are established by, and revenue remitted to, the City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department, which is currently contracted to treat all wastewater generated by District customers. Other charges are assessed according to an adopted fee schedule, but are only charged to users who request, or require, use of District resources beyond the scope of delivering normal water and wastewater services. 42% WATER SALES 22% METER CHARGES 12% WASTEWATER COLLECTION 22% WASTEWATER TREATMENT 2% OTHER CHARGES FISCAL YEAR 2017-18 RATE REVENUE revenue history & forecast $20 $24.5 $26.9 $26.9 $24.1 $24.4 $10 $15 $20 $25 $30 FY 19-20PROJECTEDFY 18-19PROJECTEDFY 17-18ACTUALSFY 16-17ACTUALSFY 15-16ACTUALSFY 14-15ACTUALS $12.8$11.5 $13.4 $13.4 $13.3 $13.4 water operating revenuewastewater operating revenue 13EAST VALLEY WATER DISTRICT BREAKDOWN OF EXPENSES Expenses are based on the cost to provide water to meet customer demand and to collect and treat wastewater from customer residences or places of business.

INTRODUCTION A. East Valley Water District issues this Labor Compliance Program (LCP) manual for the purpose of identifying its policy relative to the responsibilities and procedures applicable to the labor compliance provisions of State and Federally-funded construction contracts. B. California Labor Code Section 1770 et seq. and various other statutes require that building trade contractors on public works projects pay their workers based upon prevailing wage rates established and issued by the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR), Office of Policy Research and Legislation (OPRL). C. In establishing this LCP, East Valley Water District adheres to the statutory requirements as outlined in Section 1771.5(b) of the Labor Code and the provisions contained in California Code of Regulations Section 16000 et seq. D. It is the intent of East Valley Water District to actively enforce this LCP on all projects required by statute to enforce or contract to enforce a LCP that contains or meets the requirements of Labor Code Section 1771.5. Should any applicable Labor Code or Code of Regulations undergo revision or deletion, East Valley Water District will modify that portion of the program to comply with the modified or deleted sections. E. Questions regarding East Valley Water District LCP Program should be directed to: Martha Duran Senior Administrative Assistant East Valley Water District 31111 Greenspot Road Highland, CA 92346 Phone: (909)806-4083 Fax: N/A II. PUBLIC WORKS SUBJECT TO PREVAILING WAGE LAWS A. State prevailing wage rates apply to all public works contracts valued over $1,000, as set forth in Labor Code Section 1771 et seq., including, but not limited to, such types of work as construction, alteration, demolition, installation or repair, work, as set forth in Labor Code Sections 1720 et seq. The Director of Industrial Relations determines, from time to time, the appropriate prevailing wage rates for particular construction trades and crafts by county and publishes those determinations through the Office of Policy Research and Legislation (OPRL). B. Types of Contracts to Which Prevailing Wage Requirements Apply Whenever an Awarding Agency is required by statute to enforce or contract to enforce a Labor Compliance Program that contains or meets the requirements of Labor Code Section 1771.5, the Awarding Agency must have its own program that has been approved by the Director pursuant to Code of Regulations Section 16425. C. A list of statutes that require Awarding Agencies to have a Labor Compliance Program as a condition of project authorization, project funding, or use of specified contracting authority shall be maintained on the Department of Industrial Relations’ website. 3 III. COMPETITIVE BIDDING ON PUBLIC WORKS CONTRACTS Awarding Bodies publicly advertise upcoming public works projects to be awarded according to a competitive bidding process. All bid advertisements or bid invitations and all construction contracts shall contain appropriate language concerning the requirements of the Public Works chapter of the Labor Code, comprised of Labor Code Sections 1720- 1861. IV. COMPOSITION, COMPONENTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF LABOR COMPLIANCE PROGRAM A. In accordance with the California Labor Code and California Code of Regulations, a Labor Compliance Program shall include, but not be limited to, the following requirements: (1) The Call for Bids, Design-Build Request, and the contract or purchase order shall contain appropriate language concerning the requirements of Chapter 1 of Part 7 of Division 2 of the Labor Code. (2) A pre-job conference shall be conducted before commencement of the work with contractors and subcontractors listed in the bid or who are required to be identified or prequalified in a Design-Build Contract. At the pre-job conference applicable federal and state labor law requirements shall be discussed, and copies of suggested reporting forms furnished. A checklist, showing which federal and state labor law requirements were discussed, shall be kept for each conference. A checklist in the format of Appendix A presumptively meets this requirement. (3) A requirement that certified payroll records be kept by the contractor in accordance with Labor Code Section 1776 and furnished to the Labor Compliance Program at times designated in the contract, which shall be at least monthly, or within 10 days of any request by the Awarding Body. Use of the current version of DIR's “Public Works Payroll Reporting Form” (A-1-131) and Statement of Employer Payments (PW26) constitute presumptive compliance with the requirement for certified payroll records kept in accordance with Labor Code Section 1776, provided the forms are filled out accurately and completely. These suggested forms are available from the Department of Industrial Relations. (4) A program for orderly review of payroll records and, if necessary, for audits to verify compliance with the requirements of Chapter 1 of Part 7 of Division 2 of the Labor Code. (5) A prescribed routine for withholding penalties, forfeitures, and underpayment of wages for violations of the requirements of Chapter 1 of Part 7 of Division 2 of the Labor Code. (6) All contracts to which prevailing wage requirements apply shall include a provision that contract payments shall not be made when payroll records are delinquent or inadequate. (7) The Labor Compliance Program shall review and, if appropriate, audit payroll records to verify compliance with the requirements of Chapter 1 of Part 7 of Division 2 of the Labor Code. (8) The awarding body shall, with the approval of the Labor Commissioner, withhold contract payments equal to the amount of underpayment and applicable penalties when, after investigation, it is established that underpayment has occurred. (9) The awarding body shall comply with any other prevailing wage monitoring and enforcement activities that are required to be conducted by labor compliance programs by the Department of Industrial Relations. B. Duty of the Awarding Agency The Awarding Agency, pursuant to its approved LCP, has a duty to the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations to ensure compliance of contractors and enforce the Public Works Chapter of the Labor Code and Title 8 of the Code of Regulations in a manner consistent with the practice of the Labor Commissioner. The LCPR for the Awarding Agency will maintain records relating to activities and relevant facts that pertain to each project that demonstrates that reasonable and sufficient efforts have been made to enforce prevailing wage requirements. C. Nothing in this section shall be construed as limiting the responsibility and authority of an Awarding Body to tak e cognizance of prevailing wage violations under Section 1726 of the Labor Code and take any appropriate action pursuant to and in accordance with that responsibility and authority. 4 D. It is the responsibility of a Labor Compliance Program to enforce prevailing wage requirements, consistent with the policy of the state as expressed in Labor Code Section 90.5(a). A Labor Compliance Program shall take reasonable, vigorous, and prompt action to (1) determine whether violations exist, and (2) enforce compliance, including through imposition of appropriate penalties and formal enforcement action, when violations are found. A Labor Compliance Program shall neither avoid use of its enforcement authority based on cost considerations nor shall it use that authority in an unreasonable manner to gain leverage over a contractor or subcontractor. Unreasonable use of enforcement authority includes, but is not necessarily limited to, prolonged or excessive withholdings of contract payments without making a determination that a violation has occurred. E. For each public work project subject to a Labor Compliance Program's enforcement of prevailing wage requirements, a separate, written summary of labor compliance activities and relevant facts pertaining to that particular project shall be maintained. That summary shall demonstrate that reasonable and sufficient efforts have been made to enforce prevailing wage requirements consistent with the practice of the Labor Commissioner. Appendix C following this section provides a suggested format for tracking and monitoring enforcement activities. Compliance records for a project 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. For purposes of this section, a written summary or report includes information maintained electronically, provided that the summary or report can be printed out in hard copy form or is in an electronic format that (1) can be transmitted by e-mail or compact disk and (2) would be acceptable for the filing of documents in a federal or state court of record within this state. F. The Labor Commissioner may provide, sponsor, or endorse training on how to enforce prevailing wage requirements, including but not necessarily limited to the subjects of (1) ascertaining prevailing wage requirements and rates from the Division of Labor Statistics and Research, (2) monitoring and investigation under section 16432 above, (3) enforcement responsibilities under this section and sections 16435-16439 below, and (4) procedural requirements and responsibilities as an enforcing agency under Labor Code sections 1741-1743 and 1771.6 and sections 17201-17270 of Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations. G. The failure of an Awarding Body or Labor Compliance Program to comply with any requirement imposed by this subchapter shall not of itself constitute a defense to the failure to pay prevailing wages or to comply with any other obligation imposed by Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 1720), Part 7, Division 2 of the Labor Code. H. Filing of Statements of Economic Interest (FPPC Form 700) by Designated Employees and Consultants of Labor Compliance Program. (1) An Awarding Body that operates either its own labor compliance program or that contracts with a third party to operate all or part of its labor compliance program shall determine and designate those employees and consultants of the program who participate in making governmental decisions for the Awarding Body within the meaning of Title 2, California Code of Regulations, sections 18700 - 18702.4. Those designated employees and consultants shall be required to file Statements of Economic Interest (FPPC Form 700) and to comply with other applicable requirements of the Political Reform Act (commencing with Section 87100 of the Government Code) in connection with work performed on behalf of the Awarding Body. (2) Designated employees and consultants who operate or are employed by a third party labor compliance program shall file their Statements of Economic Interest (FPPC Form 700) with the filing officer of each Awarding Body with which the third party program contracts, unless the Department of Industrial Relations or the Fair Political Practices Commission specifies a different or alternative filing location. I. Annual Report (1) The Labor Compliance Program shall submit to the Director an annual report on its operation by no later than August 31 of each year. The annual report shall cover the twelve month period commencing on July 5 1 of the preceding calendar year and ending on June 30 of the year in which the report is due. For good cause, the Director may authorize a Labor Compliance Program to use a different reporting period and provide for the annual report to be due no later than 60 days following the close of that reporting period. (2) The annual report shall be made on the appropriate form [LCP-AR1, LCP-AR2, or LCP-AR3], for the type of Labor Compliance Program that is submitting the report, unless the Director has agreed to a different reporting format for a Program that has been granted extended authority under section 16427 above. A third party Labor Compliance Program that contracted with more than one Awarding Body or Joint Powers Authority during the annual reporting period shall separately report on Labor Code Section 1771.5(b) enforcement activities for each Awarding Body or Joint Powers Authority covered by the report. (3) Information in the Annual Report shall be reported in sufficient detail to afford a basis for evaluating the scope and level of enforcement activity of the Labor Compliance Program. An annual report shall also include such additional information as the Labor Compliance Program may be required to report as a condition of its approval. V. JOB CONFERENCE MEETING A. Agenda A Pre-Job conference meeting shall be held prior to the start of construction with all contractors and subcontractors. At that meeting, the Labor Compliance Program Representative (LCPR) will discuss applicable State and Federal labor law requirements applicable to the contract and will provide the contractor and each attending subcontractor with a Checklist of Labor Law Requirements which addresses: (1) The contractor’s and subcontractors’ duty to pay prevailing wages under Labor Code Section 1770, et seq., should the project exceed the exemption amounts; (2) The contractors and subcontractor’s duty to employ registered apprentices on public works projects under Labor Code Section 1777.5; (3) The penalties for failure to pay prevailing wages for nonexempt projects, failing to employ apprentices, and failing to submit Certified Payroll reports which include forfeitures and debarment (Labor Code Sections 1775, 1776, 1777, and 1813); (4) The requirement to maintain and submit copies of certified payroll reports records to the Awarding Agency’s LCP Representative (Labor Code Section 1776) on a weekly basis and as stipulated in contract documents.

For the purposes of this section, "contractor" includes a subcontractor as defined by Section 1722.1. B. The contractor(s) and subcontractor(s) present at the meeting will be given the opportunity to ask questions of the LCPR relative to any of the Labor Law Requirements Checklist. The Checklist of Labor Law Requirements will then be signed by the attending contractor and subcontractor representatives and submitted to the LCPR. At the Pre-job conference the LCPR will provide the General Contractor (GC), or in the case of multi-prime Construction Management (CM) project, the Construction Manager, with two (2) copies of applicable Prevailing Wage Rate Determinations. All attending contractors and subcontractors shall be provided with instructions, samples and blank certified payroll record forms, DAS-140 form, fringe benefit statements, State apprenticeship requirements, and appropriate reference materials regarding Labor Code authorities for program requirements. It will be the GC or CM’s responsibility to provide copies of the LCP package to any substituted or non-attending contractor or subcontractor performing work on the Project. VI. RESPONSIBILITY OF CONTRACTORS A. Certified Payroll (1) Certified Payroll Records Required Each contractor and subcontractor shall keep accurate payroll records, showing the name, address, social security number, work classification, straight time and overtime hours worked each day and week, and the actual per diem wages paid to each journeyman, apprentice, worker, or other employee employed by him or her in connection with the public work. Each payroll record shall contain or be verified by a written declaration that it is made under penalty of perjury, stating both of the following: a. The information contained in the payroll record is true and correct. b. The employer has complied with the requirements of Sections 1771, 1811, and 1815 for any work performed by his or her employees on the public works project. (2) Payroll records consist of, but are not limited to, time cards, front and back copies of canceled checks, records of cash receipts, trust fund forms, accounting ledgers, tax forms, Superintendent and foreman daily logs, employee sign in sheets and/or any other record maintained for the purpose of reporting payroll etc. during the course of the work and shall preserve them for a period of three (3) years thereafter for all trades workers working on the Awarding Agency’s project sites. 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 benefit, daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions made, and actual wages paid. B. Furnishing of Certified Payroll Records (1) Unless required to be furnished directly to the Labor Commissioner in accordance with paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section 1771.4, the certified payroll records shall be on forms provided by the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement or shall contain the same information as the forms provided by the division. The payroll records may consist of printouts of payroll data that are maintained as computer records, if the printouts contain the same information as the forms provided by the division and the printouts are verified in the manner specified in subdivision VI.(1)(a.). (2) A contractor or subcontractor shall file a certified copy of the records enumerated in subdivision (a) with the entity that requested the records within 10 days after receipt of a written request. (3) Except as provided in subdivision “d”, below, any copy of records made available for inspection as copies and furnished upon request to the public or any public agency by the awarding body or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement shall be marked or obliterated to prevent disclosure of an individual’s name, address, and social security number. The name and address of the contractor awarded the contract or the 7 subcontractor performing the contract shall not be marked or obliterated. Any copy of records made available for inspection by, or furnished to, a multiemployer Taft-Hartley trust fund (29 U.S.C. Sec. 186(c)(5)) that requests the records for the purposes of allocating contributions to participants shall be marked or obliterated only to prevent disclosure of an individual’s full social security number, but shall provide the last four digits of the social security number. Any copy of records made available for inspection by, or furnished to, a joint labor-management committee established pursuant to the federal Labor Management Cooperation Act of 1978 (29 U.S.C. Sec. 175a) shall be marked or obliterated only to prevent disclosure of an individual’s social security number. (4) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, agencies that are included in the Joint Enforcement Strike Force on the Underground Economy established pursuant to Section 329 of the Unemployment Insurance Code and other law enforcement agencies investigating violations of law shall, upon request, be provided non-redacted copies of certified payroll records. Any copies of records or certified payroll made available for inspection and furnished upon request to the public by an agency included in the Joint Enforcement Strike Force on the Underground Economy or to a law enforcement agency investigating a violation of law shall be marked or redacted to prevent disclosure of an individual’s name, address, and social security number. (5) An employer shall not be liable for damages in a civil action for any reasonable act or omission taken in good faith in compliance with this subdivision. (6) 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. (7) The contractor or subcontractor has 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 one hundred dollars ($100) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker, until strict compliance is effectuated. Upon the request of 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. C. Reporting Format (1) The format for reporting of payroll records requested pursuant to Labor Code Section 1776 shall be on a form provided by the public entity. Copies of the forms may be procured at any office of the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE) throughout the state and/o Office of Policy Research and Legislation (OPRL) P.O. Box 603 San Francisco, CA 94101, ATTENTION: Prevailing Wage Unit. (2) Acceptance of any other format shall be conditioned upon the requirement that the alternate format contain all of the information required pursuant to Labor Code Section 1776. If, however, the contractor does not comply with the provisions of Labor Code Section 1776, the Labor Commissioner may require the use of DIR's suggested format, “Public Works Payroll Reporting Form” (Form A-1-131). (3) Words of Certification. The form of certification shall be as follows: I, ________________ (Name-print) the undersigned, am ________________ (position in business) with the authority to act for and on behalf of ________________, (name of business and/or contractor) certify under penalty of perjury that the records or copies thereof submitted and consisting of ________________ (description, no. of pages) are the originals or true, full and correct copies of the originals which depict the payroll record(s) of the actual disbursements by way of cash, check, or whatever form to the individual or individuals named. Date:_________________ _____Signature:_______________ _____________ (4) A public entity may require a more strict and/or more extensive form of certification. D. Cost of Preparation of Records Requested (CCR 16402) Where records are requested by other than the Awarding Agency and its LCPR, the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE), the Division of Apprenticeship Standards or the worker, the cost of preparation to each contractor, subcontractor, or public entity when the request was made shall be provided in 8 advance by the person seeking the payroll record. Such cost shall be $1 for the first page of the payroll record and 25 cents for each page thereafter, plus $10 to the contractor or subcontractor for handling costs. Payment in the form of cash, check or certified money order shall be made prior to release of the documents to cover the actual costs of preparation. E. Use of Electronic Reporting Forms (CCR 16404) 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, Awarding Bodies, Labor Compliance Programs 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. (6) 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 generally not available to the public. F. Submission of Certified Payroll Records (CCR 16421(a)(3) Certified payroll records shall be kept by the contractor in accordance with Labor Code Section 1776 and furnished to the Labor Compliance Program at times designated in the contract, which shall be at least monthly, or within 10 days of any request by the Awarding Body. Use of the current version of DIR's “Public Works Payroll Reporting Form” (A-1-131) and Statement of Employer Payments (PW26) constitute presumptive compliance with the requirement for certified payroll records kept in accordance with Labor Code Section 1776, provided the forms are filled out accurately and completely. These suggested forms are available from the Department of Industrial Relations. G. Full Accountability (1) The name, address and social security number of every individual, laborer or craftsperson working at the project site must appear on the payroll. The basic concept is that the employer who pays the trade’s worker must report that individual on its payroll. This includes individuals working as apprentices in an apprenticeable craft. Licensed Owner-operators under contract shall report their own wages as provided herein. Non-licensed Owner-Operators or those operating on a basis other than a formal contract shall be reported by the contractor employing them. Rental equipment operators are to be reported by the rental company paying the workers’ wages. (2) 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. (3) Contractors and subcontractors shall make the records required under this section available for inspection by the LCPR , an authorized representative of the Awarding Agency, or the DLSE and the Division of Apprenticeship Standards of the DIR, and shall permit such representatives to interview trades workers during working hours on the project site H. Responsibility for Subcontractors A contractor shall be responsible for ensuring adherence to labor standards provisions by its subcontractor(s) in accordance with Labor Code Sections 1725.5, 1771.4, 1774, 1775, 1776, 1777.5 and 1777.7. 9 I. Payment to Employees Employees must be paid unconditionally, and not less often than once every two weeks, the full amounts that are due and payable for the period covered by the particular payday. An employer must, therefore, establish a fixed workweek (e.g., Sunday through Saturday) 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. J. Subcontractors If an individual is called a subcontractor, when, 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 who contracted for his or her services as a trade 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 who contracted for his or her services for purposes of prevailing wage requirements, certified payroll reporting and workers’ compensation laws. K. Required Wage Rates and Overtime A worker’s rate for straight time hours must equal or exceed the rate specified in the contract by reference to the Prevailing Wage Rate Determinations for the class of work actually performed. Any work performed on Saturday, Sunday, and/or a holiday, or a portion thereof, must be paid the prevailing rate established for those days regardless of the fixed workweek. The hourly rate for hours worked in excess of 8 hours in a day or 40 hours in a workweek shall be premium pay. All work performed in excess of 8 hours per day, 40 hours per week, on Saturday, on Sunday, and on holidays shall be paid in accordance with the applicable Prevailing Wage Determination L. Apprentices (1) Apprentices shall be permitted to work as such only when they are registered, individually, under a bona fide Apprenticeship program registered with a State apprenticeship agency that is recognized by the State Division of Apprenticeship Standards (DAS). (2) Pursuant to Labor Code Section 1777.5 and Code of Regulations (CCR) Section 1, apprentices on public works must be employed according to the ratio set by the apprenticeship standards under which each Joint Apprenticeship Committee operates, 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 but in no case shall the ratio be less than one (1) apprentice hour to each five (5) journeyman hours. (3) Any worker listed on payroll records at an apprentice wage rate who is not a duly registered apprentice, works in excess of the stipulated ratios permitted under Labor Code section 1777.5(g), works outside of the scope of work for the craft/trade for which they are registered or perform work outside of the prescribed geographic area of the apprenticeship program is not qualified to receive the apprentice rate and shall be paid the journeyman level wage rate determined by the Department of Industrial Relations for the classification of and locality in which the work was actually performed. (4) If requested by the LCPR, the contractor shall furnish written evidence of the Apprenticeship Agreement, Statement of Registration of its training program and apprentices, as well as the ratios allowed and the wage rates required to be paid. (5) 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. (6) Compliance with California Labor Code Section 1777.5 requires all public works contractors and subcontractors to: a. Provide specified contract award information to an applicable apprenticeship program for each applicable apprenticeable craft (Labor Code Section 1777.5 (e); 10 b. All contractors must request dispatch of an apprentice from an apprenticeship program (for each apprenticeable craft or trade) by giving the program actual notice of at least 72 hours (business days only) before the date on which apprentices are required. If the apprenticeship committee from which apprentice dispatch are requested does not dispatch apprentices as requested, the contractor must request apprentice dispatch from another committee providing training in the applicable craft or trade in the geographic area of the site of the public work, and must request apprentice dispatch from each such committee, either consecutively or simultaneously, until the contractor has requested apprentice dispatches from each such committee in the geographic area. c. Employ apprentices on public works projects in a ratio to journeypersons as stipulated in the Apprenticeship Standards under which each Joint Apprenticeship Committee operates, but in no case shall the ratio be less than one (1) apprentice to each five (5) journeyperson hours unless a Certificate of Exemption is provided to the LCPR for the Awarding Agency; and d. Contribute to the training fund in the amount identified in the prevailing wage rate publication for journeypersons and apprentices. Where the trust fund administrators cannot accept the contributions, then payment shall be made to the California Apprenticeship Council, P. O. Box 511283, Los Angeles, California 90051-7838. (7) 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. VII. ENFORCEMENT A. Duty of the Awarding Agency and LCP (1) The Awarding Agency, pursuant to its approved LCP, has a duty to the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations to ensure compliance of contractors and enforce the Public Works Chapter of the Labor Code and Title 8 of the Code of Regulations in a manner consistent with the practice of the Labor Commissioner. The LCPR for the Awarding Agency will maintain records relating to activities and relevant facts that pertain to each project that demonstrates that reasonable and sufficient efforts have been made to enforce prevailing wage requirements. (2) Nothing in this section shall be construed as limiting the responsibility and authority of an Awarding Body to take cognizance of prevailing wage violations under Section 1726 of the Labor Code and take any appropriate action pursuant to and in accordance with that responsibility and authority. The LCPR shall take reasonable, vigorous, and prompt action to (1) determine whether violations exist, and (2) enforce compliance, including through imposition of appropriate penalties and formal enforcement action, when violations are found. A Labor Compliance Program shall neither avoid use of its enforcement authority based on cost considerations nor shall it use that authority in an unreasonable manner to gain leverage over a contractor or subcontractor. Unreasonable use of enforcement authority includes, but is not necessarily limited to, prolonged or excessive withholdings of contract payments without making a determination that a violation has occurred. (3) [CCR 16432(a)] The primary function of the Labor Compliance Program is to ensure that public works contractors comply with the prevailing wage requirements found in the Public Works Chapter of the Labor Code. This regulation is intended to establish minimum requirements which all Labor Compliance Programs shall meet or exceed in carrying out that function. Definitions found throughout this regulation are intended to provide Labor Compliance Programs and representatives of the Department of Industrial Relations and the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement with common terminology as they each perform their respective roles in prevailing wage enforcement in furtherance of the Labor Code provisions establishing Labor Compliance Programs. This regulation is also intended to confirm that the proactive investigation methods, as described in detail herein, only comprise the minimum obligations required of Labor Compliance Programs to satisfy their duty to the Director to operate a Labor Compliance Program as specified in CCR Sections 16428 and 16434. 11 (4) A Labor Compliance Program shall have a duty to the Director to enforce the requirements of Chapter 1 of Part 7 of Division 2 of the Labor Code and these regulations in a manner consistent with the practice of the Labor Commissioner. It is the practice of the Labor Commissioner to refer to the Director's ongoing advisory service of web-posted public works coverage determinations as a source of information and guidance in making enforcement decisions. It is also the practice of the Labor Commissioner to be represented by an attorney in prevailing wage hearings conducted pursuant to Labor Code Section 1742(b) and sections 17201-17270 of Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations. (CCR 16434(a)). (5) The failure of an Awarding Body or Labor Compliance Program to comply with any requirement imposed by this subchapter shall not of itself constitute a defense to the failure to pay prevailing wages or to comply with any other obligation imposed by Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 1720), Part 7, Division 2 of the Labor Code. B. Request for Certified Payroll Records (1) Requests may be made by any person for certified copies of payroll records. Requests shall be made to any of the following: a. the body awarding the contract, or b. any office of the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, or the Division of Apprenticeship Standards. (2) Requests for certified copies of payroll records pursuant to Section 1776 of the Labor Code may be made by any person. However, any such request shall be in writing and contain at least the following information: a. The body awarding the contract; b. The contract number and/or description; c. The particular job location if more than one; d. The name of the contractor; e. The regular business address, if known. (3) Requests for records of more than one contractor of subcontractor must list the information regarding that contractor individually, even if all requests pertain to the same particular public works project. Blanket requests covering an entire public works project will not be accepted; unless contractor and subcontractor responsibilities regarding the project are not clearly defined. (4) Acknowledgment of Request. The public entity receiving a request for payroll records shall acknowledge receipt of such, and indicate the cost of providing the payroll records based on an estimate by the contractor, subcontractor or public entity. The acknowledgment of the receipt of said request for payroll records may be accomplished by the public entity's furnishing a copy of its written correspondence requesting certified copies of the payroll records sent to the specific contractor pursuant to Section 16400(d) below, to the person who requested said records. (5) Request to Contractor. The request for copies of payroll records by the requesting public entity shall be in any form and/or method which will assure and evidence receipt thereof. The request shall include the following: a. Specify the records to be provided and the form upon which the information is to be provided; b. Conspicuous notice of the following: (i) that the person certifying the copies of the payroll records is, if not the contractor, considered as an agent acting on behalf of the contractor; and (ii) that failure to provide certified copies of the records to the requesting public entity within 10 working days of the receipt of the request will subject the contractor to a penalty of one-hundred ($100.00) dollars per calendar day or portion thereof for each worker until strict compliance is effectuated; (iii) Cost of preparation as provided in Section 16402; and (iv) Provide for inspection. 12 (6) Inspection of Payroll Records. Inspection of the original payroll records at the office of the contractor(s) pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 1776 of the Labor Code shall be limited to the public entities upon reasonable written or oral notice. (7) In the conduct of investigations reasonably required to undertake its responsibilities as set forth in CCR Section 16421, the LCPR shall request such additional records as may reasonably be required for that purpose, to include but not limited to those enumerated within CCR Section 16000. (8) The request for copies of payroll records by the LCPR shall be in any form and/or method which will assure and evidence receipt thereof. The request shall include the following: (i) Specify the records to be provided and the form upon which the information is to be provided; (ii) Conspicuous notice that the person certifying the copies of the payroll records is, if not the contractor, considered as an agent acting on behalf of the contractor; and; (iii) that failure to provide certified copies of the records to the requesting public entity within 10 working days of the receipt of the request will subject the contractor to a penalty of one hundred ($100.00) dollars per calendar day or portion thereof for each worker until strict compliance is effectuated and; provide for inspection, where feasible. C. Records Requested for Use by the Labor Compliance Program Where records are requested from a contractor or subcontractor by the Awarding Agency’s LCPR in the normal course of its duties, those records shall be provided to the LCPR un-redacted and without cost. D. Privacy Considerations (CCR 16403) (1) Records received from the employing contractor shall be kept on file in the office or entity that processed the request for at least 6 months following completion and acceptance of the project. Thereafter, they may be destroyed unless administrative, judicial or other pending litigation, including arbitration, mediation or other methods of dispute resolution, are in process. Copies on file shall not be obliterated in the manner prescribed in subdivision (b) below; (2) Copies provided to the public upon written request shall be marked, obliterated or provided in such a manner that the name, address and Social Security number, and other private information pertaining to each employee cannot be identified. All other information including identification of the contractor shall not be obliterated; (3) the public entity may affirm or deny that a person(s) was or is employed on a public works contract (by a specific contractor) when asked, so long as the entity requires such information of an identifying nature which will reasonably preclude release of private or confidential information. E. Withholding Contract Payments When Payroll Records are Delinquent or Inadequate (CCR § 16435) (1) “Withhold” means to cease payments by the Awarding Body, or others who pay on its behalf, or agents, to the general contractor. Where the violation is by a subcontractor, the general 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, only contracts under a single master contract, including a Design-Build contract, or contracts entered into as stages of a single project, may be the subject of withholding. (3) “Delinquent payroll records” means those not submitted on the date set in the contract. (4) “Inadequate payroll records” are any one of the following: a. A record lacking any of the information required by Labor Code Section 1776; 13 b. A record which contains all of the required information but is not certified, or is certified by someone who is not an agent of the contractor or subcontractor; c. A record remaining uncorrected for one payroll period, after the Labor Compliance Program has given the contractor or subcontractor 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 section 16401 of Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations. (5) 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 Awarding Body 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. (6) When contract payments are withheld 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. (7) No contract payments shall be withheld solely on the basis of delinquent or inadequate payroll records after the required records have been produced. (8) In addition to withholding contract payments based on delinquent or inadequate payroll records, penalties shall be assessed under Labor Code Section 1776(g) 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 CCR Title 8 Section 1643. F. On-Site Visits (CCR 16432(d) ) (1) The Awarding Agency’s LCPR 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 LCPR, 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: a. The copy of the determination(s) of the Director of Industrial Relations of the prevailing wage rate of per diem wages required to be posted at each job site in compliance with Labor Code Section 1773.2, and b. The Notice of Labor Compliance Program Approval required to be posted at the job site in accordance with Code of Regulations Section 16429, listing a telephone number to call for inquiries, questions, or assistance with regard to the Labor Compliance Program and/or; c. On each job site that is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations, the Awarding Agency shall post or require the prime contractor to post a Notice containing the language in Code of Regulations Section 16451(d). (2) On-Site Visits may include other activities deemed necessary by the Awarding Agency’s LCPR to independently corroborate prevailing wage payments reported on payroll records furnished by contractors and subcontractors. 14 Complaints Upon receipt of a written complaint alleging that a contractor or subcontractor has failed to pay prevailing wages as required by the Labor Code, the LCPR shall do all of the following: (1) Within 15 days after receipt of the complaint, send a written acknowledgment to the complaining party that the complaint has been received and identifying the name, address, and telephone number of the investigator assigned to the complaint; (2) Within 15 days after receipt of the complaint, provide the affected contractor with the notice required under Labor Code section 1775(c) if the complaint is against a subcontractor; (3) Notify the complaining party in writing of the resolution of the complaint within ten days after the complaint has been resolved by the LCPR; (4) Notify the complaining party in writing at least once every 30 days of the status of a complaint that has not been resolved by the LCPR; and (5) Notify the complaining party in writing at least once every 90 days of the status of a complaint that has been resolved by the LCPR but remains under review or in litigation before another entity. H. Review of Certified Payroll Records (CCR Sections 16432(b) Payroll records furnished by contractors and subcontractors in accordance with section 16421(a)(3) above, and in a format prescribed at section 16401 of Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations, shall be reviewed by the Labor Compliance Program as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof, but in no event more than 30 days after such receipt. “Review” for this purpose shall be defined as inspection of the records furnished to determine if (1) all appropriate data elements identified in Labor Code Section 1776(a) have been reported; (2) certification forms have been completed and signed in compliance with Labor Code Section 1776(b); and (3) the correct prevailing wage rates have been reported as paid for each classification of labor listed thereon, with confirmation of payment in the manner and to the extent described in subpart (c) below. I. Confirmation of Certified Payroll Records (CCR 16432(c) ) (1) “Confirmation” of payroll records furnished by contractors and subcontractors shall be defined as an independent corroboration of reported prevailing wage payments. Confirmation may be accomplished through worker interviews, examination of paychecks or paycheck stubs, direct confirmation of payments from third party recipients of “Employer Payments” (as defined at section 16000 of Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations), or any other reasonable method of corroboration. (2) For each month in which a contractor or subcontractor reports having workers on the project, confirmation of furnished records will be undertaken randomly for at least one worker for at least one weekly period within that month. Confirmation will also be undertaken whenever the Awarding Agency’s LCPR receives a complaint or other circumstances or information suggests that payroll records may be inaccurate. J. Audit of Certified Payroll Records (CCR 16432(e) ) (1) Audits will be conducted by the Awarding Agency’s LCPR when it is determined that a violation of the Public Works Chapter of the Labor Code has occurred. Audits shall also be conducted at the request of the Labor Commissioner. (2) An audit shall consist of a written summary reflecting prevailing wage deficiencies for each underpaid worker and include any penalties to be assessed under Labor Code Sections 1775 and 1813, as determined by the LCPR, after a comparison and consideration of the best information available as to the actual hours worked, amounts paid and classifications of workers employed in connection with the project. Such available information may include, but is not limited to: a. Worker Interviews; b. Complaints from workers or other interested persons; c. All time cards, cancelled checks, cash receipts, trust fund forms; d. All books, documents, schedules, forms, reports, receipts or other evidences which reflect job assignments; 15 e. Work schedules by days and hours; and f. 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 the public works project. (3) The audit record form as provided for in Code of Regulations Section 16432 Appendix B, accompanied by a brief narrative identifying the Bid Advertisement Date of the public work contract, a summary of the nature of the violation and the basis upon which the determination was made, presumptively demonstrates the sufficient detail that will enable the Labor Commissioner to determine the amount, if requested, of forfeiture under Code of Regulations Section 16437, draw reasonable conclusions as to the compliance with the requirements of the Public Works Chapter of the Labor Code and enable accurate computation of underpayments of wages and applicable penalties and forfeitures. K. Notification and Informal Resolution (CCR 16432(f) ) 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 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 reasonably 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 to workers is promptly corrected and proof of such payment is submitted to the Labor Compliance Program. For each instance in which a wage deficiency is resolved in accordance with this regulation, the Labor Compliance Program shall maintain a written record of the failure of the contractor or subcontractor to meet its prevailing wage obligation. The record shall identify the public works project, the contractor or affected subcontractor involved, and the gross amount of wages paid to workers to resolve the prevailing wage deficiency; and the record shall also include a copy of the Audit prepared pursuant to subpart (e) above along with any exculpatory information submitted to the Labor Compliance Program by the affected contractor or subcontractor. L. Withholding Contract Payments When, After Investigation, It Is Established That Underpayment or Other Violation Has Occurred (CCR 16435.5) (1) “Withhold” and “contracts” have the same meaning set forth in CCR Sections 16435(a) and 16435(b). (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 rights under Labor Code Section 1729. (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 amounts paid workers and the correct General Prevailing 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 amounts paid on behalf of workers and the correct amounts of Employer Payments, as defined in Labor Code Section 1773.1 and determined to be part of the prevailing rate costs of contractors due for employment of workers in such craft, classification or trade in which they were employed and the amounts paid; c. Estimated amounts of “illegal taking of wages”; 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. 16 (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 these regulations. M. Provisions Relating to the Penalties Under Labor Code Sections 1775, 1776, 1777.7, 1813 and 1741 (1) Pursuant to Labor Code Section 1775, the contractor and any subcontractor under the contractor shall, as a penalty to the state or political subdivision on whose behalf the contract is made or awarded; forfeit not more than two hundred dollars ($200) for each day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing wages: a. The penalty may not be less than forty dollars ($40) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rate, unless the failure of the contractor or subcontractor to pay the correct rate of per diem wages was a good faith mistake and, if so, the error was promptly and voluntarily corrected when brought to the attention of the contractor or subcontractor. b. The penalty may not be less than eighty dollars ($80) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rate, if the contractor or subcontractor has been assessed penalties within the previous three years for failing to meet its prevailing wage obligations on a separate contract, unless those penalties were subsequently withdrawn or overturned. c. The penalty may not be less than one hundred twenty dollars ($120) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rate, if the Labor Commissioner determines that the violation was willful, as defined in Labor Code Section 1777.1. d. When the amount due under Labor Code Section 1775 is collected from the contractor or subcontractor, any outstanding wage claim under Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 1720) of Part 7 of Division 2 of the Labor Code against that contractor or subcontractor shall be satisfied before applying that amount to the penalty imposed on that contractor or subcontractor pursuant to Section 1775. The prime contractor of the project is not liable for any penalties under Labor Code 1775(a) unless the prime contractor had knowledge of that failure of the subcontractor to pay the specified prevailing rate of wages to those workers or unless the prime contractor fails to comply with the requirements of Labor Code 1775 (b) (1-4). (2) In the event that the contractor or subcontractor fails to comply subsequent to receipt of a written notice requesting the records enumerated in Labor Code Section 1776 (a) 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 one hundred dollars ($100) 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 Labor Code Section 1776 due to the failure of a subcontractor to comply with this section. (3) In the case of overtime violations , Labor Code Section 1813 establishes that 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 such 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 Article 3, Chapter 1, Part 7 of Division 2 of the Labor Code. The Awarding Agency shall take cognizance of all violations of Article 3 (Labor Code Sections 1810-1815). (4) Pursuant to Labor Code Section 1777.5, the contractor and subcontractor are required to employ registered apprentices on public works projects. Each contractor and subcontractor shall keep an accurate payroll record relative to apprentices per Section 1776 of the Labor Code. The contractor or subcontractor found in violation of Labor Code Section 1777.5 shall forfeit as a civil penalty an amount not to exceed one hundred dollars ($100) for each full calendar day of noncompliance. Any contractor or subcontractor who knowingly commits subsequent violations of Labor Code Section 1777.5 within a three year period could face a civil penalty of not 17 more than three hundred dollars ($300) for each full day of noncompliance and the possibility of being denied the right to bid on, be awarded or perform work on any public works project for up to three years. (5) Pursuant to Labor Code Section 1741(b), interest shall accrue on all due and unpaid wages at the rate described in subdivision (b) of Section 3289 of the Civil Code. The interest shall accrue from the date that the wages were due and payable, as provided in Article 1, Chapter 1, Part 7 (commencing with Section 1720) of Division 2 of the Labor Code, until the wages are paid. (6) Pursuant to Labor Code Section 1741(c), the Labor Commissioner shall maintain a public list of the names of each contractor and subcontractor who has been found to have committed a willful violation of Section 1775 or to whom a final order, which is no longer subject to judicial review, has been issued. The list shall include the date of each assessment, the amount of wages and penalties assessed, and the amount collected. The list shall be updated at least quarterly, and the contractor's or subcontractor's name shall remain on that list until the assessment is satisfied, or for a period of three years beginning from the date of the issuance of the assessment, whichever is later. N. Forfeitures Requiring Approval by the Labor Commissioner (8 CCR Section 16436) (1) For purposes of 8 CCR Sections 16436 and 16437, “forfeitures” means the amount of wages, penalties, and forfeitures assessed by the Labor Compliance Program and proposed to be withheld pursuant to Labor Code section 1771.6(a), and includes the following: (1) the difference between the prevailing wage rates and the amount paid to each worker for each calendar day or portion thereof for which each worker was paid less than the prevailing wage rate by the contractor or subcontractor; and (2) penalties assessed under Labor Code Sections 1775, 1776 and 1813. (2) If the aggregate amount of forfeitures assessed as to a contractor or subcontractor is less than $1000.00, the forfeitures shall be deemed approved by the Labor Commissioner upon service and 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 section 16432(e) of these regulations, and (3) a brief narrative identifying the Bid Advertisement Date of the contract for public work and summarizing the nature of the violation, the basis of the underpayment, and the factors considered in determining the assessment of penalties, if any, under Labor Code Section 1775. (3) For all other forfeitures, approval by the Labor Commissioner shall be requested and obtained in accordance with section 16437 below. O. Determination of Amount of Forfeiture by the Labor Commissioner (CCR Section 16437) (1) Where the Labor Compliance Program requests a determination of the amount of forfeiture, the request shall include a file or report to the Labor Commissioner which contains at least the information specified in subparts (a) through (i) below. Appendix D is a suggested format for a Request for Approval of Forfeiture under this section. a. Whether the public work has been accepted by the awarding body and whether a valid notice of completion has been filed, the dates if any when those events occurred, and the amount of funds being held in retention by the Awarding Body; b. Any other deadline which if missed would impede collection; c. Evidence of violation, in narrative form; d. Evidence of violation obtained under section 16432 of these regulations and a copy of the Audit prepared in accordance with section 16432(e) setting forth the amounts of unpaid wages and applicable penalties; e. Evidence that before the forfeiture was sent to the Labor Commissioner (A) the contractor and subcontractor were given the opportunity to explain why there was no violation, or that any violation was caused by good faith mistake and promptly corrected when brought to the contractor or subcontractor's attention, and (B) the contractor and subcontractor either did not do so or failed to convince the Labor Compliance Program of its position; f. Where the Labor Compliance Program seeks not only wages but also a penalty as part of the forfeiture, and the contractor or subcontractor has unsuccessfully contended that the cause of violation was a good 18 faith mistake that was promptly corrected when brought to the contractor or subcontractor's 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 Labor Compliance Program seeks only wages or a penalty less than $50 per day as part of the forfeiture because the contractor or subcontractor has successfully contended that the cause of the violation was a good faith mistake that was promptly corrected when brought to the contractor or subcontractor's attention, the file should include the evidence as to the contractor or subcontractor's knowledge of his or her obligation, including the program's communication to the contractor or subcontractor of the obligation in the bid invitations, at the pre-job conference agenda and records, and any other notice given as part of the contracting process. With the file should be a statement, similar to that described in (6), and recommended penalty amounts, pursuant to Labor Code Section 1775(a); h. The previous record of the contractor and subcontractor in meeting their prevailing wage obligations; and i. Whether the Labor Compliance Program has been granted approval on only an interim or temporary basis under sections 16425 or 16426 above or whether it has been granted extended approval under section 16427 above. (2) The file or report shall be served on the Labor Commissioner as soon as practicable after the violation has been discovered, and not less than 30 days before the final payment, but in no event not less than 30 days before the expiration of the limitations period set forth in Labor Code Section 1741. (3) A copy of the recommended forfeiture and the file or report shall be served on the contractor and subcontractor at the same time as it is sent to the Labor Commissioner. The Labor Compliance Program may exclude from the documents served on the contractor and subcontractor copies of documents secured from the contractor or subcontractor during an audit, investigation, or meeting if those are clearly referenced in the file or report. (4) The Labor Commissioner shall affirm, reject, or modify the forfeiture in whole or in part as to the wages and penalties due. (5) The Labor Commissioner's determination of the forfeiture is effective on one of the two following dates: a. For all programs other than those having extended authority under section 16427 of these regulations, on the date the Labor Commissioner serves by first class mail, on the Labor Compliance Program, on the Awarding Body if different, on the contractor and on the subcontractor, if any, an endorsed copy of the proposed forfeiture, or a newly drafted forfeiture statement which sets out the amount of forfeiture approved. Service on the contractor or subcontractor is effective if made on the last address supplied by the contractor or subcontractor in the record. The Labor Commissioner's approval, modification or disapproval of the proposed forfeiture shall be served within 30 days of receipt of the proposed forfeiture. b. For programs with extended authority under section 16427 above, approval is effective 20 days after the requested forfeitures are served upon the Labor Commissioner, unless the Labor Commissioner serves a notice upon the parties, within that time period, that this forfeiture request is subject to further review. For such programs, a notice that approval will follow such a procedure will be included in the transmittal of the forfeiture request to the contractor. If the Labor Commissioner notifies the parties of a decision to undertake further review, the Labor Commissioner's final approval, modification or disapproval of the proposed forfeiture shall be served within 30 days of the date of notice of further review. P. Withholding Procedures after Forfeiture Determination by the Labor Commissioner (1) The LCPR shall provide a Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments to the contractor and subcontractor, if applicable. The notice shall be in writing and shall describe the nature of the violation and the amount of wages, penalties and liquidated damages being withheld. Service of the notice shall be completed pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1013 by first-class and certified mail to the contractor and subcontractor, if applicable. The notice shall advise the contractor and subcontractor, if applicable, of the procedure for obtaining review of the withholding of contract payments. (2) The LCPR shall also serve a copy of the notice by certified mail to any bonding company issuing a bond that secures the payment of wages covered by the notice and to any surety on a bond, if their identities are known to the Awarding Agency. 19 (3) Where the violation is by a subcontractor, the general contractor shall be notified of the nature of the violation and reference made to its rights under Labor Code Section 1729. (4) A release bond under Civil Code Section 3196 may not be posted for the release of the funds being withheld for the violation of the prevailing wage law. (5) The withholding of contract payments in accordance with Labor Code Section 1726 or 1771.5 shall be reviewable under Labor Code Sections 1771.6 (b) and 1742 and Code of Regulations sections 17201- 17270 in the same manner as if the notice of the withholding was a civil penalty order of the Labor Commissioner. If review is requested, the LCPR may request the Labor Commissioner to intervene to represent it. (6) Pending a final order, or the expiration of the time period for seeking review of the notice of the withholding, the Awarding Agency shall not disburse any contract payments withheld. Q. Settlement Meeting (1) In accordance with Labor Code section 1742.1 (b), the LCPR shall, upon receipt of a request from the affected contractor or subcontractor within 30 days following the service of the Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments, afford the contractor or subcontractor the opportunity to meet with the LCPR to attempt to settle a dispute regarding the notice. a. The settlement meeting may be held in person or by telephone and shall take place before the expiration of the 60-day period seeking a hearing as set forth below under the heading Request for Review of Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments; b. No evidence of anything said or any admission made for the purpose of, in the course of, or pursuant to, the settlement meeting is admissible or subject to discovery in any administrative or civil proceeding; c. No writing prepared for the purpose, in the course of, or pursuant to, the settlement meeting, other than a final settlement agreement, is admissible or subject to discovery in any administrative or civil proceeding; d. This opportunity to timely request an informal settlement meeting is in addition to the right to obtain a formal hearing; and e. A settlement meeting may be requested even if a written Request for Review has already been made. (2) Requesting a settlement meeting does not extend the 60-day period during which a formal hearing may be requested. R. Request for Review of Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments (1) An affected contractor or subcontractor may obtain review of a Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments under this chapter by transmitting a written request for a review hearing to the LCPR within 60 days after service of the Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments. The LCPR shall have the rights and responsibilities of the Enforcing Agency (Code of Regulations section 17202 (f)) in responding to the request for review, including but not limited to the obligations to serve notices, transmit the Request for Review to the hearing office, and provide an opportunity to review evidence in a timely manner, to participate through counsel in all hearing proceedings, and to meet the burden of establishing prima facie support for the Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments. If no hearing is requested within 60 days after the service of the Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments, the Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments shall become final. (2) If a contractor or subcontractor seeks review of the LCPR’s enforcement action, the Labor Commissioner may intervene to represent the Awarding Agency, or to enforce relevant provisions of the Labor Code consistent with the practice of the Labor Commissioner, or both. (3) Except in cases where the Labor Commissioner has intervened pursuant to subpart (b) above, the LCPR shall have the authority to prosecute, settle, or seek the dismissal of any Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments issued pursuant to Labor Code Section 1771.6 and any review proceeding under Labor Code Section 1742, without any further need for approval by the Labor Commissioner. Whenever the LCPR settles 20 in whole or in part or seeks and obtains the dismissal of a Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments or a review proceeding under Labor Code Section 1742, the LCPR shall document the reasons for the settlement or request for dismissal and shall make that documentation available to the Labor Commissioner upon request. S. Review of Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments (1) Within ten days following the receipt of the request for a review hearing, the LCPR shall transmit to the Office of the Director-Legal Unit the request for review and copies of the Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments, any audit summary that accompanied the notice, and a proof of service or other documents showing the name and address of any bonding company or surety that secures the payment of the wages covered by the notice. (2) The LCPR shall be represented by an attorney in prevailing wage hearings conducted pursuant to Labor Code Section 1742(b) and Code of Regulations sections 17201 – 17270. T. Determination and Ruling on the Review by the Department of Industrial Relations (1) Upon receipt of a timely request, a hearing shall be commenced within 90 days before the director, who shall appoint an impartial hearing officer possessing the qualifications of an administrative law judge pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 11502 of the Government Code. The appointed hearing officer shall be an employee of the department, but shall not be an employee of the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement. The contractor or subcontractor shall be provided an opportunity to review evidence, pursuant to Labor Code Section 1742 (b), to be utilized by the LCPR at the hearing within 20 days of the receipt by the LCPR of the written request for a hearing. Any evidence obtained by the LCPR subsequent to the 20-day cutoff shall be promptly disclosed to the contractor or subcontractor. The contractor or subcontractor shall have the burden of proving that the basis for the Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments is incorrect. The Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments shall be sufficiently detailed to provide fair notice to the contractor or subcontractor of the issues at the hearing. Within 45 days of the conclusion of the hearing, the director shall issue a written decision affirming, modifying, or dismissing the assessment. The decision of the director shall consist of a notice of findings, findings, and an order. This decision shall be served on all parties pursuant to Section 1013 of the Code of Civil Procedure by first-class mail at the last known address of the party on file with the LCP. Within 15 days of the issuance of the decision, the director may reconsider or modify the decision to correct an error, except that a clerical error may be corrected at any time. The director has adopted regulations setting forth procedures for hearings under this subdivision. These regulations are found in Code of Regulations sections 17201-17270. (2) An affected contractor or subcontractor may obtain review of the decision of the director by filing a petition for a writ of mandate to the appropriate superior court pursuant to Section 1094.5 of the Code of Civil Procedure within 45 days after service of the decision. If no petition for a writ of mandate is filed within 45 days after service of the decision, the order shall become final. If it is claimed in a petition for writ of mandate that the findings are not supported by the evidence, abuse of discretion is established if the court determines that the findings are not supported by substantial evidence in the light of the whole record. (3) A certified copy of a final order may be filed by the Labor Commissioner in the office of the clerk of the superior court in any county in which the affected contractor or subcontractor has property or has or had a place of business. The clerk, immediately upon the filing, shall enter judgment for the state against the person assessed in the amount shown on the certified order. (4) A judgment entered pursuant to this procedure shall bear the same rate of interest and shall have the same effect as other judgments and shall be given the same preference allowed by law on other judgments rendered for claims for taxes. The clerk shall not charge for the service performed by him or her pursuant to this section. (5) This procedure shall provide the exclusive method for review of a decision by the LCPR to withhold contract payments pursuant to Section 1771.5. 21 U. Settlement Authority Except in cases where the Labor Commissioner has intervened pursuant to Code of Regulations Section 16439 (b), The LCPR shall have the authority to prosecute, settle, or seek the dismissal of any Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments issued pursuant to Labor Code Section 1771.6 and any review proceeding under Labor Code Section 1742, without any further need for approval by the Labor Commissioner. Whenever the LCPR settles in whole or in part or seeks and obtains the dismissal of a Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments or a review proceeding under Labor Code Section 1742, The LCPR shall document the reasons for the settlement or request for dismissal and shall make that documentation available to the Labor Commissioner upon request. V. Deposits of Penalties and Forfeitures Withheld (1) Where the involvement of the Labor Commissioner has been limited to a determination of the actual amount of penalty, forfeiture, or underpayment of wages and the matter has been resolved without litigation by or against the Labor Commissioner, the LCPR shall deposit penalties and forfeitures with the Awarding Agency. (2) Where collection of fines, penalties, or forfeitures results from administrative proceedings or court action to which the Labor Commissioner and Awarding Agency are both parties, the fines, penalties or forfeitures shall be divided between the general funds of the State and Awarding Agency as the Hearing Officer or court may decide. (3) All penalties recovered in administrative proceedings or court action brought by or against the Labor Commissioner, and to which the Awarding Agency is not a party, shall be deposited in the General Fund of the State of California. (4) All wages and benefits which belong to a worker and are withheld or collected from a contractor or subcontractor, either by withholding or as a result of administrative hearings or any court action and which have not been paid to the worker or irrevocably committed on the worker’s behalf to a benefits fund, shall be deposited with the Labor Commissioner, who will handle such wages and benefits in accordance with Labor Code Section 96.7. W. Debarment Policy It is the policy of the Awarding Agency that the public works prevailing wage requirements set forth in the California Labor Code, Section 1720-1861, be strictly enforced. In furtherance thereof, construction contractors and subcontractors found to be repeat violators of the California Labor Code shall be referred to the Labor Commissioner for debarment from bidding on or otherwise being awarded any public work contract, within the state of California, for the performance of construction and/or maintenance services for the period not to exceed three (3) years in duration. The duration of the debarment period shall depend upon the nature and severity of the labor code violations and any mitigating and/or aggravating factors, which may be presented at the hearing conducted by the Labor Commissioner for such purpose. X. Disposition of Forfeited Sums (1) The prevailing wage recovery process of this Labor Compliance Program is established pursuant to Labor Code Section 1775 which provides that out of any funds withheld, recovered, or both, there shall first be paid the amount due each worker notwithstanding the filing of any Stop Notice by any person pursuant to Civil Code Section 3179, et seq. Thus, all workers employed on the public works project who are paid less than the prevailing wage rate shall have PRIORITY over all Stop Notices filed against the prime contractor. (2) In the event that there are "insufficient funds" available in the prime contractor account to pay the total amount of prevailing wage violations and penalty amounts due, the unpaid prevailing wages shall have PRIORITY STATUS and must be paid first, pursuant to Labor Code Section 1775. Furthermore, if insufficient funds are withheld, recovered, or both, to pay each underpaid worker in full, the money shall be prorated among all workers affected. From the amount recovered by the Awarding Agency, the wage claim shall be satisfied prior to the amount being applied to penalties. If insufficient money is recovered to pay each worker in full, the money shall be prorated among all workers. Wages for workers who cannot be located shall be placed in the 22 Industrial Relations Unpaid Wage Fund and held in trust for the workers pursuant to Section 96.7. Penalties shall be paid into a general fund or other fund of the Awarding Agency's choosing. Y. Reporting of Willful Violations to The Labor Commissioner (1) If an investigation reveals that a willful violation of the Labor Code has occurred, the LCPR will make a written report to the Labor Commissioner which shall include: a. An audit consisting of a comparison of payroll records to the best available information as to the actual hours worked; and b. The classification of workers employed on the public works contract. (2) Six types of willful violations are reported as follows: a. For Failure to Comply with Prevailing Wage Rate Requirements Failure to comply with prevailing wage rate requirements as set forth in the Labor Code and Code of Regulations is determined a willful violation whenever less than the stipulated basic hourly rate is paid to trades workers, or if overtime, holiday rates, fringe benefits, and/or employer payments are paid at a rate less than stipulated. The facts related to such willful violations may result in a determination that the contractor intended to defraud its employees of their wages. b. For 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. Such violations are deemed to be willful violations committed with the intent to defraud. c. For Failure to Submit Certified Payroll Records Refusing to comply with a request for certified payroll reports or substantiating information and records as contained in Section IV.1. will be determined to be a willful violation of the Labor Code. Additionally, refusing to correct inaccuracies or omissions that have been discovered will also be determined to be willful violation of the Labor Code. 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 in a timely manner is equivalent to payment of less than the stipulated wage rate and shall be reported to the Awarding Agency and Labor Commissioner as a willful violation, upon completion of an investigation and audit. e. For 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 Awarding Agency and 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. 23 VIII. Apprenticeship (1) The duties of the LCPR with respect to apprenticeship standards are as follows: a. Inform contractors and subcontractors bidding public works about apprenticeship requirements, b. Send copies of awards to the Department of Industrial Relations as required under Section 1773.3 of the Labor Code, and; c. Refer complaints and promptly report suspected violations of apprenticeship requirements to the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement. (2) The LCPR shall be responsible for enforcing prevailing wage pay requirements for apprentices consistent with the practice of the Labor Commissioner, including the following: a. That any contributions required pursuant to Labor Code Section 1777.5(m) are paid to the appropriate entity; b. That apprentices are paid no less than the prevailing apprentice rate; c. That workers listed and paid as apprentices on the certified payroll records are duly registered as apprentices with the Division of Apprenticeship Standards; and d. Requiring that the journeyman prevailing wage rate be paid to any worker who is not a duly registered apprentice and for all hours in excess of the maximum ratio 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. 24 APPENDIX A Definitions A. "Withhold" means to cease payments by the Awarding Agency, or others who pay on its behalf, or agents, to a prime or general contractor. Where the violation is by a subcontractor, the general contractor shall be notified of the nature of the violation and reference made to its rights under Labor Code Section 1729. B. "Contracts" except as otherwise provided by agreement, means only contracts under a single master contract, including a Design-Build contract, or contracts entered into as stages of a single project may be the subject of withholding pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1720, 1720.2, 1720.3, 1720.4, 1771, and 1771.5; C. "Delinquent payroll records" means those not submitted on the date set in the contract; D. "Inadequate payroll records" are any one of the following:  A record lacking any of the information required by Labor Code Section 1776;  A record which contains all of the required information but which is not certified, or certified by someone who is not an agent of the contractor or subcontractor;  A record remaining uncorrected for one (1) payroll period, after the LCPR has given the contractor or subcontractor 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 one percent (1%) 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 Code of Regulations section 16401. E. "Amount equal to the underpayment" is the total of the following determined by payroll review, audit, or admission of the contractor or subcontractor:  The difference between the amounts paid to workers and the correct General Prevailing Wage Rate of Per Diem as defined in Code of Regulations section 16000 and 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;  The difference between the amounts paid on behalf of workers and the correct amounts of Employer Payments, as defined in Code of Regulations section 16000 and Labor Code section 1773.1 and determined to be part of the prevailing rate costs of contractors due for employment of workers in such craft, classification or trade in which they were employed and the amounts paid;  Estimated amounts of "illegal taking of wages,";  Amounts of apprenticeship training contributions paid to neither the program sponsor’s training trust nor the California Apprenticeship Council; and  Estimated penalties under Labor Code sections 1775, 1776 and 1813. F. "Forfeitures" means the amount of wages, penalties, and forfeitures assessed by the Awarding Agency and proposed to be withheld pursuant to Labor Code section 1771.6(a), and includes the following:  The difference between the prevailing wage rates and the amount paid to each worker for each calendar day or portion thereof for which each worker was paid less than the prevailing wage rate by the contractor or subcontractor;  Penalties assessed under Labor Code Sections 1775, 1776 and 1813. If the aggregate amount of forfeitures assessed as to a contractor or subcontractor is less than $1000.00, the forfeitures shall be deemed approved by the Labor Commissioner pursuant to Code of Regulations Section 16436(b). G. "Failing to pay the correct rate of prevailing wages" means those public works violations which the Labor Commissioner has exclusive authority to approve before they are recoverable by the Labor Compliance Program, and which are appealable by the contractor in court or before the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations under Labor Code Section 1742, and 1771.6 pursuant to the Code of Regulations Sections 17201 through 17270. Regardless of what is defined as prevailing "wages" in contract terms, noncompliance with the following are considered failures to pay prevailing wages:  Nonpayment of items defined as "Employer Payments" and "General Prevailing Rate of Per Diem Wages" in Code of Regulations Section 16000 and Labor Code Section 1771.  Payroll records required by Labor Code Section 1776; 25  Labor Code Section 1777.5 but only insofar as the failure consists of paying apprentice wages lower than the journey level rate to a worker who is not an apprentice as defined in Labor Code Section 3077, working under an apprentice agreement in a recognized program;  Labor Code Section 1778, Kickbacks;  Labor Code Section 1779, Fee for Registration;  Labor Code Sections 1813, 1815, and Code of Regulations Section 16200 (a) (3) (F) overtime for work over eight (8) hours in any one (1) day or forty (40) hours in any one (1) week. All work performed on Saturday, Sunday, and/or a holiday shall be paid pursuant to the prevailing wage determination. 26 APPENDIX B Initial Review of Certified Payroll Records Step 1- Each Payroll Record received by the LCPR for processing is date stamped as to the date received by the Awarding Agency. Step 2- Within 30 days of receipt, the LCPR will compare the payrolls received to the list of payrolls required for the period. For any payroll that is not included or is incomplete, a 10-day letter is prepared by the LCPR and placed into tracking mode. A Payment Application Hold & Notification of Temporary Withholding Letter will be prepared & sent to the Awarding Agency and all affected Contractors and Subcontractors. Step 3- The LCPR will begin the initial review of Certified Payroll Records that have been received. Each Contractor or Subcontractor will have a comparison spreadsheet that has been prepared at the initiation of the contract which will have displayed all prevailing wage determination data, based on the Trades, Classifications, Fringe Benefits and Apprentice requirements identified as being utilized by the company. Step 4- The LCPR will compare the comparison spreadsheet against the Certified Payroll to determine if the gross prevailing wage for the Trade and Classification meets with the prevailing wage of that Trade and Classification. Check of certified payroll for hours worked by day/week to determine if Overtime, Holiday, Travel or Subsistence pay was to be paid. If so, check the payroll to ensure the correct prevailing wage was paid. Check for the proper utilization of Apprentices and that correct prevailing wages have been paid to Apprentices. Step 5- For each month in which a contractor or subcontractor reports having workers on the project, confirmation of furnished payroll records will be undertaken randomly for at least one worker for at least one weekly period within that month. The LCPR will compare confirmation/backup records to corroborate prevailing wage payments. Step 6- Upon completion of initial review, provided no initial violation has been detected, Certified Payroll Records are logged into the file system of the project. Step 7- If an initial violation or potential violation has been detected by the LCPR, they will proceed to a “Confirmation” of Certified Payroll Records. Step 8- The LCPR will complete a labor compliance review and enforcement summary that indicates the status of the initial review and confirmation for each company for the period, if any of the contractors or subcontractors Certified Payrolls have not been received, and the status of any 10 day letters that have been prepared. Step 9- When the Awarding Agency or LCPR receives a complaint of suspected violation(s), an accusation or any alleged wrong doing; the LCPR will proceed to a “Confirmation” of Certified Payroll Records. After review of the initial complaint the Initial Complaint Information form will be completed. The basic information required to initiate a complaint include:  Name of the complainant, including address and phone number;  Name of the alleged violating contractor;  Name of the prime contractor (if different); and  Nature of the complaint. 27 APPENDIX C Confirmation and Audit of Certified Payroll Records Step 1- By written request the LCPR will notify the affected contractor of any potential violation and request further payroll records for confirmation and corroboration of prevailing wage payments as correct. Confirmation of Certified Payroll Reports may be accomplished through:  Examination of Paychecks or Paycheck stubs;  Confirmation/Documentation of “Employer Payments” as made to third party recipients;  Worker Interviews; and  Whatever other reasonable methods, as needed, to corroborate the reported prevailing wage payments. Step 2- If after review and corroboration of the payroll records it is determined that no violation has occurred or documentation is received that reflects corrections and restitution payments have been made to the employees, all records will be filed into the file system of the project. Step 3- If after review and corroboration of the payroll records it is determined that a violation has occurred and no documentation has been received to reflect that the violation has been corrected the LCPR will initiate a comprehensive audit to ascertain the amount of wages due the worker(s) as well as the statutory penalties that are to be assessed. Step 4- A comprehensive audit is based on the LCPR’s review of all documents and issues pertaining to the complaint or violation and has arrived at a decision concerning issues that must be audited. The LCPR will prepare & request documents listed on the Referral Checklist for a full audit. Documents needed to process the audit may include but are not limited to the following:  Certified Payroll Records  Fringe Benefit Statement/Statement of Employer Payments  Time Cards  Copy of Checks  Inspector Logs  Prevailing Wage Rates Spreadsheet for Company Concerned.  Special Wage Determination(s) for the trades and crafts on the Certified Payroll  Listing of Holidays  Travel and Subsistence Information  List of Indentured Apprentices (by name and classification)  Any Special Instructions. Step-5- An Audit Spreadsheet is created containing the following information:  Auditor will make notes when audit entries are different from what is contained in the Certified Payroll.  Any instance that data was entered that seems to be in contradiction to any other record. Examples:  Premium pay not paid for work on Saturday, Sunday or Holiday.  Travel and subsistence not paid.  Apparent underpayments where the contractor appears to be paying less than the required prevailing wages.  Hours obtained from time cards or records other than the Certified Payroll.  Individuals shown on the Certified Payroll as “apprentices” that are not properly registered. Results of the Audit upon completion will be transferred to the Awarding Agency’s Investigations Department. 28 APPENDIX D Public Works Case Audits Step 1- After the LCPR completes the review of certified payroll, initiates contact with the affected contractor and produces the initial 10 day letter(s) without resolution; the LCPR shall meet with the Investigations Team to determine if the project file contains sufficient detail to request an Investigation and/or Audit. Provided there is sufficient probable cause to believe that a violation has or may have occurred the Investigation Supervisor (IS) assigns the case to an Investigation Auditor (IA), who initiates a complete audit of the certified payrol l to determine the nature of the violation(s), ascertain the amount of wages due the worker(s) as well as the statutory penalties that are to be assessed. Step 2- The primary responsibility of the Investigation Team is to complete case audits, relieving the LCPR from this lengthy process in as many cases as possible. The initiation of comprehensive audit requirements is based on th e IA’s review of all documents and issues pertaining to the complaint and has arrived at a decision concerning issues that must be audited. Should issues arise during the course of the audit, the IA must resolve the issue in question and provide specific resolutions. Requests for audits by the LCPR will contain the documents needed to complete the audit. (Not all documents on this list may be available or needed in all audits):  Case Log Summary to date  All correspondence to try and address the violation  Certified Payroll Records  Fringe Benefit Statement  Prime Contract  Sub-Contract (if applicable)  Scope of Work  General Conditions  Notice of Completion  Amount of Held Funds  Time Cards  Copy of Checks  Contractor Logs  Inspector Logs  Prevailing Wage Cheat Sheets  Wage Determination(s) for the trades and crafts on the Certified Payroll  Listing of Holidays  Travel and Subsistence Information  List of Indentured Apprentices (by name and classification)  Any Special Instructions. Case Logs are created on a “Word” document that will be titled with the case number assigned. (This document will be kept current during the progress of the audit). The IA will make notes on all activities done relative to the audit / investigation. Step 3- Results of the Case Audit upon completion will be documented and reviewed by the IS to determine validity. Step 4- At the point the IS had determined that there is sufficient evidence to determine that a violation has occurred, a Notice of Intent to Request Forfeiture of Monies will be sent to the relative parties notifying them of the findings. Step 5- At the completion of the contractor’s appeal rights if no response to the Notice of Intent is received, from any affected party, the case file will be prepared and submitted to the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) for forfeiture determination. Step 6- Once the determination and approval of forfeiture is received by the Investigation Team a Notice of Withholding Contract Payments is produced and mailed first class and certified to the affected parties, to include the Awarding Agency, Construction Manager and Bonding Company. Step 7- A settlement meeting is held by the Awarding Agency upon timely request of the contractor or other parties. Step 8- A hearing is held by DIR upon timely request of the contractor or other parties. 29 APPENDIX E Investigation Case Processing Step 1- Written complaints or investigation requests are received by the Investigations Supervisor (IS). After a review of the complaint or audit if a determination is made that an investigation is required, the Investigation Supervisor (IS) will assign an Investigation Auditor (IA) to obtain the initial information to investigate the complaint. Step 2 - The Investigations Department will prepare the Case Binder to include, but not limited to, the following:  Contractor’s name and case number  Project Name  Awarding Agency  Prime Contractor (if different)  Original complaint(s) and supporting documentation  Copy of 1st bid advertisement  Contract  Sub Contract (if applicable)  Second tier sub contract (if applicable)  CSLB print outs on the contractors  Entity information (Secretary of State print-outs, fictitious business statement, etc.)  Prevailing Wage rates in effect and predetermined increases received from DLSR.  Certified Payroll Records received from defendant contractor  Certified Payrolls obtained from different sources (AB, prime contractor, etc. as required)  Inspector Logs  Audit and Audit notes  Prior Violations  Copies of executed Notice(s) to withhold and supporting documents  Correspondence (filed in order mailed or received) Additional information and documents will be inserted as needed consistent with the facts of the investigation. (Example would be if Certified Payroll(s) were not submitted timely and penalties pursuant to Labor Code 1776(h) were imposed, the Request for Certified Payroll, including the certified receipt and the green return receipt, become evidence, supporting the penalty assessment and should be tabbed). Step 3- Processing the Investigation This provides the general steps to be taken in processing an investigation. As the facts of each investigation are different, not all steps need to be taken in every case or in the order presented. An investigation of a public works case is a conscientious attempt to ascertain all pertinent facts relative to a suspected violation(s) based on a complaint, an accusation or any alleged wrong doing. The Investigation Team is required to exercise sound discretion in employing the investigative method or methods best suited to the type of violation involved.  The IA will assign a case number and begin the Case Log.  The IA will determine the Statutes of Limitations for action against the contractor and indicate the date on the Case Log. The statutes compel the LCP to complete the investigation, issue the proper notices to the parties, prepare and submit the case all within the time limits.  The IA will research to see if any previous public work cases were filed against affected contractor. Specific attention is given to previous complaints filed against the same project. The results of the research are to be recorded on the Case Log and will be provided to the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) if a Request for Forfeiture is needed.  The IA will prepare the initial case notifications and requests. These notices and requests are the initial mailing package and consist of the:  Notification of Complaint Filed. Within 15 days after receipt of the complaint, provide the affected contractor with the notice required under Labor Code section 1775(c) if the complaint is against a subcontractor. The Notice of Complaint Filed is sent to complainant and all other relative parties. This 30 form advises all parties (or potential parties) that the Awarding Agency’s LCP has initiated a formal investigation.  An Employee Inquiry Form. Mailed to complainant and all other workers identified on certified payroll reports in possession of the Awarding Agency’s LCP for the affected contractor.  A formal request for information/records is prepared and mailed to all affected parties, if not previously received as part of the LCPR’s audit. Examples of items that may still be needed include the following:  Inspectors Logs  Contract(s)  Copies of the performance, Labor/Material and/or payment bonds  Copy of 1st bid advertisement  Page(s) (from the contract) listing the prevailing wage rate(s) on this contract.  Page(s) (from the contract advising the contractor of legal requirements to pay the prevailing wages.  Notice of Completion (if/when filed)  Date project began  Project completion (or estimated completion)  Amount of money being held by the Awarding Agency.  Location of the project.  Certified Payroll Records.  Fringe Benefit Statement/Statement of Employer Payments  Letter requesting supporting documentation (time cards and canceled checks, etc.)  The IA will verbally contact all affected parties and the complainant to notify them that a complaint has been received and an investigation is commencing into the merits of the alleged violation of the Labor Code.  The IA will attempt to identify and contact anyone who can verify the accuracy of the allegations and obtain permission for a written affidavit.  The IA will keep the complainant informed timely throughout the entire investigative process but no less than:  Notify the complaining party in writing of the resolution of the complaint within ten days after the complaint has been resolved by the Investigations Team;  Notify the complaining party in writing at least once every 30 days of the status of a complaint that has not been resolved by the Investigations Team; and  Notify the complaining party in writing at least once every 90 days of the status of a complaint that has been resolved by the Investigations Team but remains under review or in litigation before another entity.  Upon receipt of all information and records the IA’s audit will include the following steps:  The IA will take note of any data that does not seem to match.  The IA will compare the hours reported in the complaint and find out if they match.  The IA will review the Fringe Benefit Statement and compare this statement with the Certified Payroll(s) to insure that the amounts claimed on the statement are reflected in the Certified Payroll(s).  Time Cards: Are the time cards original – written in different hands, at different times, or do they appear to be written by the same person at a later time?  Cancelled checks: Review checks submitted to be sure that the documents appear to have been cleared through a bank. Look at the check numbers and make sure that they correspond to the check numbers reported on the Certified Payroll(s).  Certified Payroll(s): Review the information reported on the Certified Payroll(s)  Determine if the information provided complies with the requirements of Labor Code 1776(c)  Review the Certified Payroll to identify any additional issues such as:  Correct utilization of reported apprentices  Obvious violations (failure to pay overtime over 8 hours per day or ratio violations within certain crafts or failure to report wages for “owners” or “partners”).  Hourly Rate of Pay: The rate that should be reflected in this column is the “total hourly wage” paid to (and on behalf of) the employee.  Check the certification statement for compliance with the Labor Code. 31  Review the Fringe Benefits Statement. If the contractor is claiming employer contributions, these contributions must be documented on the Fringe Benefit Statement. The contractor must provide proof of the payments in prevailing rate of per diem wages.  Provided the Certified Payrolls are accepted being accurate, and violations are substantiated, audit the certified payroll(s) to determine the amount of wages and penalties that are due.  If false Certified Payroll(s) are indicated, note this fact for possible filing of a felony complaint for violation of Labor Code 1778.  Indicate any failure to submit or faulty submission of Certified Payroll Reports. If the Certified Payrolls are not submitted, or if ALL the information is not provided, AND the time for submission has lapsed, initiate penalties pursuant to Labor Code 1776(h) to compel compliance.  If the IA discovers potential violations of the Labor Code not pertaining to Public Works law, such as payment with insufficient fund checks, not providing paycheck stubs, apprenticeship issues, false Certified Payroll or kickbacks, the IA shall submit these findings to the appropriate enforcing agency.  At the point the IA has determined that there is sufficient evidence that a violation has occurred, a Notice of Intent to Request Forfeiture will be prepared and submitted to all affected parties notifying them of our findings and offering them an opportunity to meet. The purpose of the pre-withhold meeting is to review and discuss the initial audit results with the contractor(s), inform the contractor(s) of his/her due process rights, schedule a due date (10 days) for any mitigating evidence to be submitted by the contractor(s).  After review and consideration of any mitigating evidence submitted by the contractor, the audit findings will be finalized. A letter is sent to the contractor with directions on how to make the payments along with the finalized audit. In the event that a settlement cannot be reached, the case is then forwarded to the State Labor Commissioner for approval of the “Request for Approval of Forfeitures and Penalties”.  If the aggregate amount of forfeitures assessed to a contractor or subcontractor is less than $1,000.00, the forfeitures shall be deemed approved by the Labor Commissioner upon service and the Labor Commissioner's receipt of copies of the following:  The Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments authorized by Labor Code Section 1771.6(a);  An Audit as defined in section 16432(e) of the Regulations, and  A brief narrative identifying the Bid Advertisement Date of the contract for public work and summarizing the nature of the violation, the basis of the underpayment, and the factors considered in determining the assessment of penalties, if any, under Labor Code Section 1775.  If the aggregate amount of forfeitures assessed to a contractor or subcontractor is $1,000.00 or more the IA must submit, in writing, a Request for Approval of Forfeiture to the State Labor Commissioner. The file or report shall be served on the Labor Commissioner as soon as practicable after the violation has been discovered, and not less than 30 days before the final payment, but in no event not less than 30 days before the expiration of the limitations period set forth in Labor Code Section 1741.  The assessment shall be served not later than 18 months after the filing of a valid notice of completion in the office of the county recorder in each county in which the public work or some part thereof was performed, or not later than 18 months after acceptance of the public work, whichever occurs last.  A copy of the Request for Approval of Forfeiture and Penalties shall be served on the Contractor, Subcontractor, bonding company or surety and the Awarding Agency.  The Labor Commissioner's determination of the forfeiture is effective on the date the Labor Commissioner serves by first class mail, on the Labor Compliance Program, on the Awarding Agency if different, on the contractor and on the subcontractor, if any, an endorsed copy of the proposed forfeiture, or a newly drafted forfeiture statement which sets out the amount of forfeiture approved. Service on the contractor or subcontractor is effective if made on the last address supplied by the contractor or subcontractor in the record. The Labor Commissioner's approval, modification or disapproval of the proposed forfeiture shall be served within 30 days of receipt of the proposed forfeiture.  Upon receipt of approval, the IA will prepare and issue a Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments against the affected contract(s). The Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments and the Notice of Right to Obtain Review procedures pursuant to Labor Code Section 1742 shall be served on the contractor(s) and bonding companies of the affected contractor(s) by certified mail and first class mail. 32  In accordance with Labor Code sections 1742 and 1771.6, an affected contractor or subcontractor may obtain review of the Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments by transmitting a written request to the office of the Awarding Agency’s LCP that appears on the Notice within 60 days after service of the notice.  In accordance with Labor Code section 1742.1 (c), the Awarding Agency’s LCP shall, upon receipt of a request from the affected contractor or subcontractor within 30 days following the service of this Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments, afford the contractor or subcontractor the opportunity to meet with the Awarding Agency’s designee to attempt to settle a dispute regarding the notice. The settlement meeting may be held in person or by telephone and shall take place before the expiration of the 60-day period seeking a hearing as set forth below. No evidence of anything said or any admission made for the purpose of, in the course of, or pursuant to, the settlement meeting is admissible or subject to discovery in any administrative or civil proceeding. No writing prepared for the purpose, in the course of, or pursuant to, the settlement meeting, other than a final settlement agreement, is admissible or subject to discovery in any administrative or civil proceeding. This opportunity to timely request an informal settlement meeting is in addition to the right to obtain a formal hearing, and a settlement meeting may be requested even if a written Request for Review has already been made. Requesting a settlement meeting, however, does not extend the 60-day period during which a formal hearing may be requested. A written request to meet with the Awarding Agency’s designee to attempt to settle a dispute regarding this notice must be transmitted to the Awarding Agency.  A Request for Review either shall clearly identify the Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments from which review is sought, including the date of the notice, or it shall include a copy of the notice as an attachment, and shall also set forth the basis upon which the notice is being contested. In accordance with Labor Code section 1742, the contractor or subcontractor shall be provided an opportunity to review evidence to be utilized by the Awarding Agency at the hearing within 20 days of receipt by the Awarding Agency of the written Request for Review.  The Awarding Agency shall make evidence available for review 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 Awarding Agency’s failure to make evidence available for review as required by Labor Code section 1742(b) and Rule 24 (CCR 17224) shall preclude the Awarding Agency from introducing such evidence in proceedings before the Hearing Officer or the Director.  Within ten (10) days following the receipt of a Request for Review, the Awarding Agency shall transmit to the Office of the Director - Legal Unit, the Request for Review and copies of the Assessment or Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments, any Audit Summary that accompanied the Assessment or Notice, and a Proof of Service or other document showing the name and address of any bonding company or Surety.  Within ten (10) days following the receipt of a Request for Review, the Awarding Agency shall also notify the Affected Contractor or Subcontractor of its opportunity and the procedures for reviewing evidence to be utilized by the Awarding Agency at the hearing on the Request for Review.  Once the Request for Review is transmitted to DIR, DIR will contact all parties to begin Pre-Hearing Meetings, Settlement Meetings and a Hearing, if necessary.  Failure by a contractor or subcontractor to submit a timely Request for Review will result in a final order which shall be binding on the contractor and subcontractor, and which shall also be binding, with respect to the amount due, on a bonding company issuing a bond that secures the payment of wages and a surety on a bond. Labor Code section 1743  In accordance with Labor Code section 1742(d), a certified copy of a final order may be filed by the Labor Commissioner in the office of the clerk of the superior court in any county in which the affected contractor or subcontractor has property or has had a place of business. The clerk, immediately upon filing, shall enter judgment for the State against the person assessed in the amount shown on the certified order. 33 APPENDIX F Prevailing Wage Hearing Regulations The following listing is provided to facilitate the identification of regulatory sections that may bear upon the duties and responsibilities of the Labor Compliance Program.

In all instances, the Awarding Agency’s FR will conduct themselves in a professional and authoritative manner. The Awarding Agency’s FR’s will be familiar with applicable provisions of the Labor Code in order to converse with administrators or construction personnel of any level. A. On-Site Visitations Each construction project is unique and all of the listed protocols will not necessarily be utilized, precisely as stated, during the course of each site visit. However, in most cases the Awarding Agency FR’s will employ the basic concepts expressed in each protocol to accomplish the purpose of their site visit in an efficient manner. 1. All FR’s visiting any construction site are required to wear a visible picture ID (badge), and to properly identify themselves as such. Additionally, all FR personnel are required to wear hard hats, safety vests and safety shoes. 2. Safety is the paramount factor for any site visit to any construction project. FR’s will not enter any area that appears unsafe. Areas of concern include, but are not limited to, grading operations, trenching and work within a trench, hazardous materials abatement, concrete placement, demolition or the removal roofing materials. FR’s are expected to exercise reasonable caution at all times. 3. Should FR’s witness what they consider to be a potentially unsafe condition, they will contact the site inspector or job superintendent of their findings immediately and make note on the site visitation interview form of what they observed. Upon return to the office, the FR will report their findings to the Awarding Agency’s Labor Compliance Officer (LCO). 4. When inspections are conducted on Owner-occupied sites, the FR shall, upon arrival: a. Check in at the Administrative office; b. Identify themselves and state the purpose of the visit; and c. Sign in if required to do so If the opportunity presents itself and, dependent on the nature of any questions, the FR will take a few minutes to answer any questions and discuss activities or the services provided by the Awarding Agency’s LCP with administrative level personnel, but will not seek personnel out. 5. Prior to any interviewing, the FR shall: a. Check in at the site superintendent’s trailer; b. Take a few minutes to talk with the Superintendent; c. Develop a working relationship; d. Gain information pertaining to the project such as: i. Duration or phasing; ii. What contractors are on-site that day; iii. Work activities in process or anticipated, etc. 6. In the event there is not a construction trailer or job superintendent, the FR will locate each contractor’s foreman. 7. If for some reason the FR is denied access to the site, or informed that they may not interview the workmen: a. FR will promptly and politely remove themselves; b. FR will immediately contact the Awarding Agency’s LCO, by phone, to report the incident. c. Make a note of this occurrence on the site visitation interview form along with all available details such as: i. Time of day; ii. Name of party denying access; iii. Stated reason for denying access, etc. FR will include this note in their report to the Awarding Agency’s LCO. 36 8. There will be times when the site superintendent is somewhere on the site and/or there is no contractor present in the trailer. The FR will check in at the Inspector of Record (IOR) trailer. If all trailers are empty or locked, FR will try to locate the site superintendent or IOR, on the site prior to commencing interviewing. If the FR is unable to locate the superintendent or IOR they will proceed with interviews after speaking with each contractor’s foremen. 9. FR will check to see that the following are displayed in the contractor’s trailer or the Administrative Office: a. Equal Opportunity Employment Posters b. Required jobsite posting NOTICE that the project is a prevailing wage public work c. Prevailing wage sheets available for review by the tradesmen d. Sign-in Log e. Listing of subcontractors on site If any of these items are not readily visible, the FR will remind the CM, GM, PM that these postings are part of the contractual and legal requirements. On subsequent visits, the FR will make sure that these items are posted or readily available upon request. If these items are not posted or readily available, the FR will advise the Awarding Agency LCPR, CM, GM, PM of the non-compliance with the law and the contract requirements. 10. The Field Representative shall visit all sites on an unannounced random weekly basis. During inclement weather contact will be made with the Prime/General Contractor or Construction Manager in an attempt to determine if there will be any activity at the site that day. B. Interviewing 1. Once the FR has checked in and obtains access to the site: a. FR will locate the Foreman for each contractor on the project prior to conducting the interviews. b. Identify themselves as the Awarding Agency LCPR acting on behalf of the Awarding Agency; and, if necessary c. Explain that the FR activity is a legal requirement placed on the Awarding Agency as a result of the ongoing construction work. 2. The FR shall conduct all interviews on a non-interference basis. The contractor’s foreman may want to accompany the FR during the interview process, such action is not to be considered as interference, however interference does result when a foreman restricts questioning or the specific tradesmen that may be interviewed. 3. A minimum amount of the workers’ time will be taken for interview purposes. When making the decision regarding whom to interview, the FR will look for tradespersons working in clusters. For instance, several painters, electricians, roofers, etc. working in one area. a. Workers will be approached individually, in a non-threatening, professional manner; b. The FR will identify themselves; c. Inform workers why they are there and that they need only a few minutes 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. d. The FR will not endanger themselves or any tradesperson’s safety in conducting these interviews. e. The FR will not insist that someone on a scaffold 40 feet in the air come down for an interview or attempt to interview tradesmen actively involved in activities such as a concrete pour, crane operation, etc. f. The FR will not ask anyone to stand by until they can get to them; they will be allowed to continue working until the FR can get to them individually. 4. These interviews are random; two or three tradespersons for each contractor/subcontractor is 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 that person will be interviewed, if possible. Thirty minutes of interviewing per site is typically sufficient, depending upon the site size and/or number of subcontractors present. 5. Interviews will not be conducted during the Tradesmen’s breaks or lunch periods. 37 C. Site Visitation Interview Form 1. The FR will use the Site Visitation Interview form and ask each person the following: a. Name; b. Last four digits of their social security number; c. Employer; d. Title (trade); e. Rate of pay; and f. Task being performed at the time of interview 2. Should someone decline to speak with the FR, those wishes will be respected. If someone asks if this is union-related, the FR will advise them that they work as the Awarding Agency’s LCPR on the project. 3. If someone refuses to disclose his/her social security number, those wishes will be respected. The FR will assure that person that all information given is kept strictly confidential and make the attempt to get his/her complete name. 4. If someone does not know their rate of pay, FR will ask for an approximate amount. If the response is, “Whatever prevailing wage is”, that is what will be indicated on the form. 5. If a worker states that he/she does not know what contractor they are working for, the FR will track down the site superintendent and ask his assistance in determining the responsible contractor. (Workers who don’t know their employing contractor are often an indication of an “underground” crew being employed by the contractor. 6. If someone indicates that he/she is an apprentice, they will be asked their current apprentice level. If he/she is not sure, they will be asked how many years he/she has been apprenticed in the specific trade or to approximate, and this will be indicated on the interview form. 7. If someone is interviewed that does not speak English and the FR cannot communicate in the appropriate language, the FR will try to locate a coworker who can interpret. If an entire crew is unable to speak English and there is no interpreter, this will be included on the report. 8. The FR is there to collect information only, tradesmen will not be told how to do their jobs or that the amount of hourly wage they are reporting is below the determined wage. The FR will not solicit or invite the tradesmen to initiate a complaint through them or give them the impression that it is within the FR duties. The FR will explain that for reasons of confidentiality, they should contact the Awarding Agency’s LCP office and speak with the LCPR and a business card will be left with them. 9. Within the Site Observations portion of the interview form the FR will give as much information as they can that pertains to the work in progress. The FR will approximate the total number of tradesmen on the site and ask each foreman how many employees he has on the project that day. 10. All tradesmen will be thanked for their time. D. Site Superintendents Daily Reports 1. A copy of the site superintendent’s daily reports for the previous week will be obtained and submitted to the LCPR no later than the end of each workweek. E. Reporting 1. All original interview forms and daily reports shall be submitted to the LCPR no later than the end of each workweek.

Submit contract award information. Contractors who are not already approved to train by an apprenticeship program sponsor shall provide contract award information to all of the applicable apprenticeship committees whose geogra phic area of operation includes the area of the public works project. Submit contract award information to the apprenticeship committee for each apprenticeable craft or trade in the area of the site of the public works project that has approved the contractors, who are participants in an approved apprenticeship program, to train apprentices. (Title 8, California Code of Regulations, Section 230). The contract award information shall be in writing and may be on a Public Works Contract Award Information form (DAS 140). The information shall be provided to the applicable apprenticeship committee within ten (10) days of the date of the execution of the prim e contract or subcontract, but in no event later than the first day in which the contractor has workers employed upon the public work. (Title 8, California Code of Regulations, Section 230). The filing of a DAS 140 is not a request for dispatch of registered apprentices. 2. Employ registered apprentices on the Public Works project in a ratio of no less than one (1) hour of apprentice work for every five (5) hours performed by a journeyman.) 1. Contractors who are not already employing sufficient registered apprentices to comply with the one-to- five ratio must request the dispatch of required apprentices from the apprenticeship committees providing training in each applicable craft or trade and whose geographic area of operation includes the site of the public work by giving the committee written notice of at least 72 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the date on which apprentices are required. 2. If the apprenticeship committee from which apprentice dispatch is requested does not dispatch apprentices as requested, the contractor must request apprentice dispatch from another committee providing training in the applicable craft or trade in the geographic area of the site of the public wor k, and must request dispatch from each such committee, either consecutively or simultaneously, until the contractor has requested apprentice dispatch from each such committee in the geographic area. 3. If a non-signatory contractor is dispatched fewer apprentices than requested from an apprenticeship program the contractor must request dispatch from all other committees that provide training in the applicable craft or trade whose geographic area of operation includes the site of the public work. (Title 8, California Code of Regulations, Section 230.1). 3. Make training fund contributions in the amount established in the Prevailing Wage Rate publication for journeymen and apprentices. Contractors who contribute to an apprenticeship program are entitled to a full credit in the amount of those contributions. Contractors who do not contribute to an apprenticeship program must submit their contributions to the California Apprenticeship Council . Funds are due & payable by the 15th of the month for work performed during the preceding month.

Important Additional Information: This is a Notice of Temporary Withholding of Contract Payments for Delinquent or Inadequate Payroll Records only. This is not a determination of liability for wages or penalties under 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. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Enclosure – text of 8 CCR §16435 §16435. Withholding Contract Payments When Payroll Records are Delinquent or Inadequate. (a) "Withhold" means to cease payments by the Awarding Body, or others who pay on its behalf, or agents, to the general contractor. Where the violation is by a subcontractor, the general contractor shall be notified of the nature of the violation and reference made to its rights under Labor Code Section 1729. (b) "Contracts." Except as otherwise provided by agreement, only contracts under a single master contract, including a Design-Build contract, or contracts entered into as stages of a single project, may be the subject of withholding. (c) "Delinquent payroll records" means those not submitted on the date set in the contract. (d) "Inadequate payroll records" are any one of the following: (1) A record lacking any of the information required by Labor Code Section 1776; (2) A record which contains all of the required information but is not certified, or is certified by someone who is not an agent of the contractor or subcontractor; (3) A record remaining uncorrected for one payroll period after the Labor Compliance Program has given the contractor or subcontractor 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 one (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 section 16401 of Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations. (e) 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 Awarding Body 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. (f) When contract payments are withheld 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. (g) No contract payments shall be withheld solely on the basis of delinquent or inadequate payroll records after the required records have been produced. (h) In addition to withholding contract payments based on delinquent or inadequate payroll records, penalties shall be assessed under Labor Code Section 1776(g) 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. 1 Labor Compliance Program Regulations – APPENDIX D REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF FORFEITURE -- Suggested format 1.

The nature of the violations of the Labor Code and the basis for the assessment are as follows: ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ The Labor Compliance Program has determined that the total amount of wages due is: $___________________ The Labor Compliance Program has determined that the total amount of penalties assessed under Labor Code sections 1775 and 1813 is: $__________________ The Labor Compliance Program has determined that the amount of penalties assessed under Labor Code section 1776 is: $__________________ LABOR COMPLIANCE PROGRAM _____________________________________ By:__________________________________ Notice of Right to Obtain Review - Formal Hearing In accordance with Labor Code sections 1742 and 1771.6, an affected contractor or subcontractor may obtain review of this Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments (NWCP) by transmitting a written request to the office of the Labor Compliance Program that appears below within 60 days after service of the notice. To obtain a hearing, a written Request for Review must be transmitted to the following address: Labor Compliance Program _________________________________________ Review Office-Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments _________________________________________ _________________________________________ A Request for Review either shall clearly identify the Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments from which review is sought, including the date of the notice, or it shall include a copy of the notice as an attachment, and shall also set forth the basis upon which the notice is being contested. In accordance with Labor Code section 1742, the contractor or subcontractor shall be provided an opportunity to review evidence to be utilized by the Labor Compliance Program at the hearing within 20 days of the Labor Compliance Program's receipt of the written Request for Review. Failure by a contractor or subcontractor to submit a timely Request for Review will result in a final order which shall be binding on the contractor and subcontractor, and which shall also be binding, with respect to the amount due, on a bonding company issuing a bond that secures the payment of wages and a surety on a bond. Labor Code section 1743. In accordance with Labor Code section 1742(d), a certified copy of a final order may be filed by the Labor Commissioner in the office of the clerk of the superior court in any county in which the affected contractor or subcontractor has property or has or had a place of business. The clerk, immediately upon the filing, shall enter judgment for the State against the person assessed in the amount shown on the certified order. (continued on next page) Opportunity for Settlement Meeting In accordance with Labor Code Section 1742.1 (c), the Labor Compliance Program shall, upon receipt of a request from the affected contractor or subcontractor within 30 days following the service of this Notice of Withholding of Contract Payments, afford the contractor or subcontractor the opportunity to meet with the Labor Compliance Program's designee to attempt to settle a dispute regarding this Notice. The settlement meeting may be held in person or by telephone and shall take place before the expiration of the 60-day period for seeking a hearing as set forth above under the heading Notice of Right to Obtain Review. No evidence of anything said or any admission made for the purpose of, in the course of, or pursuant to, the settlement meeting is admissible or subject to discovery in any administrative or civil proceeding. No writing prepared for the purpose of, in the course of, or pursuant to, the settlement meeting, other than a final settlement agreement, is admissible or subject to discovery in any administrative or civil proceeding. This opportunity to timely request an informal settlement meeting is in addition to the right to obtain a formal hearing, and a settlement meeting may be requested even if a written Request for Review has already been made. Requesting a settlement meeting, however, does not extend the 60-day period during which a formal hearing may be requested. A written request to meet with the Labor Compliance Program's designee to attempt to settle a dispute regarding this notice must be transmitted to ______________________ at the following address: _________________________________________ _________________________________________ _________________________________________ Liquidated Damages In accordance with Labor Code section 1742.1 (a), 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 this 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 this 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. In lieu of a cash deposit, the contractor may post an undertaking with the Department in full amount of the Notice of Withholding of 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 for a cash deposit. Deposits must be made by check or money order payable to the Department of Industrial Relations with a letter and a copy of the Notice of Withhold Contract Payments and mailed to: Department of Industrial Relations Attention Cashiering Unit P.O.

Please submit monthly documentation that all Employer Fringe Benefit Payments are current. CLASSIFICATION: The Fringe Benefit Statement must include all Trades/Classifications of employees that YOUR COMPANY will dispatch to the Public Works Project, including Apprentices.  Do not list each employee by name that you will dispatch within the Trade/Classification. EFFECTIVE DATE: Is the date of the DIR Prevailing Wage Determination governing the duration of the Public Works Project. SUBSISTENCE OR TRAVEL: If your company will be required to pay this fringe benefit insert the per diem amount within this section. EMPLOYER PAID FRINGE BENEFITS: Next to each listed Fringe Benefit indicate the hourly rates for fringe benefits payments made for employees by the employer on the various classes of work. Do not include amounts that are paid directly by the employee. PAID TO: Insert the name and address of the Plan, Fund or Program where the benefit will be sent, or if the benefit amount is to be paid directly to the Employee, indicate same by inserting "Employee".  Do not list each employee by name. All fringe benefits must be irrevocably paid to an authorized fund or to the employee. No unpaid amounts are allowed. A Common Misunderstanding of the Status of "Owner-Operators" Under the State Labor Code. There is a common misconception among many owner-operators that there is something like an "exemption" from prevailing wage requirements for owner-operators that perform work on public works projects. This is simply not the case, under the Labor Code; an owner-operator who performs work in the field is a "journeyman", regardless of his or her status as an owner. The Fringe Benefit Statement must reflect this fact. The only owners who are exempt from prevailing wage requirements are those that perform only supervisory or management functions, without working with the tools or operating equipment. Credits, For Fringe Benefit Payments CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS: TITLE 8, GROUP3, ARTICLE 4, 16200(i) Credit Available for Actual Payment of Fringe Benefit Costs up to the Prevailing Amount. The contractor obligated to pay the full prevailing rate of per diem wages may take credit for amounts up to the total of all fringe benefit amounts listed as prevailing in the appropriate wage determination. This credit may be taken only as to amounts which are actual payments under Employer Payments Section 16000(1)-(3). In the event the total of Employer Payments by a contractor for the fringe benefits listed as prevailing is less than the aggregate amount set out as prevailing in the wage determination, the contractor must pay the difference directly to the employee. No amount of credit for payments over the aggregate amount of employer payments shall be taken nor shall any credit decrease the amount of direct payment of hourly wages of those amounts found to be prevailing for straight time or overtime wages. Memo from the Division of Industrial Relations dated 11-15-90. THE RULE: The contractor can pay amounts for individual benefits different than the state shows in the wage reports so long as it is not less than the total amount permitted for all benefits. Any contractor paid amount less than the total benefit requirements listed in the state wage reports must be paid to the employee.

If you were unable to attend the meeting or have not received a package from your General or Prime Contractor you should contact them and request a package, however if they are unable to provide the forms package please contact me and I will be happy to provide you with the complete package or individual forms as needed. The documents provided in the handout consist of:  Certified payroll data (Blank Payroll Reporting Form, Statement of Non-Performance and Payroll Certification Form)  Contractors Acknowledgement of LCP  Fringe Benefit Statement  DAS-140 form-Public Works Contract Award Information  CAC/2 form, for the reporting of payment to the California Apprenticeship Committee  DAS-142 form-Documentation of Dispatch/Request for Apprentices Payroll Certifications, Fringe Benefits Statements and Contractor’s Acknowledgement of LCP shall have WET SIGNATURES and be received in our offices as original documents. Only forms published by the California Department of Industrial Relations or "[Enter Awarding Body]" Labor Compliance Program shall be submitted.

Labor Compliance Forms and Payroll Reporting Letter Page 2 Initial Documentation required by Contract or Labor Code It is recommended that you complete and return the following initial documents as soon as possible, irrespective of your projected start date on the project. This will enable "[Enter Awarding Body]" to review the documents and eliminate any delays to approving contractor payment applications. a. A completed and signed “Contractor’s Acknowledgement of LCP”(wet signature required) b. A completed and signed “Fringe Benefit Statement” covering all labor classifications anticipated to be employed on the project, including apprentices (wet signature required). c. A reproduced copy of each DAS-140 form filed with each Apprenticeship Committee applicable to any labor classification anticipated to be employed on the project. Failing to submit copies of filed DAS-140’s to "[Enter Awarding Body]" will not be a cause to deny approval of contract payments, however, failing to file such notices is a violation of the Labor Code and will expose the contractor or subcontractor to liability for penalties. Ongoing Monthly Documentation Throughout the Course of the Project a. With the primary objective being to eliminate any need for the withholding of Contractor Payments every contractor or subcontractor of any tier that provided on-site labor of any kind shall submit an unbroken chain of weekly Certified Payroll Reports or Non- Performance Reports covering the entire period from the first day services were performed on the project through their “Final Payroll” on at least a monthly basis. Upon receipt of a payment application "[Enter Awarding Body]" will verify that payroll records have been received from the last day of labor reported on prior Certified Payroll Reports through at least the 15th of the current month for which payment is requested. (The required format for payroll information and certification is set forth-on DIR form A-1-131 public work payroll reporting form. The person certifying these copies must be the contractor or an authorized agent to act on behalf of the contractor). b. For every contractor or subcontractor of any tier that provided on-site labor of any kind a completed CAC-2 or other appropriate document confirming payment of training funds to appropriate Apprenticeship Committees or the California Apprenticeship Council by not later than the 15th of the month for which payment application is being made. c.

Thank you, "[Click here and type your name and title]" Apprentices on Public Work projects Summary of requirements Compliance with California Labor Code Section 1777.5 requires all public works contractors and subcontractors to: 1. Submit contract award information. Contractors who are not already approved to train by an apprenticeship program sponsor shall provide contract award information to all of the applicable apprenticeship committees whose geographic area of operation includes the area of the public works project. Submit contract award information to the apprenticeship committee for each apprenticeable craft or trade in the area of the site of the public works project that has approved the contractors, who are participants in an approved apprenticeship program, to train apprentices. (Title 8, California Code of Regulations, Section 230). The contract award information shall be in writing and may be on a Public Works Contract Award Information form (DAS 140). The information shall be provided to the applicable apprenticeship committee within ten (10) days of the date of the execution of the prime contract or subcontract, but in no event later than the first day in which the contractor has workers employed upon the public work. (Title 8, California Code of Regulations, Section 230). The filing of a DAS 140 is not a request for dispatch of registered apprentices. 2. Employ registered apprentices on the Public Works project in a ratio of no less than one (1) hour of apprentice work for every five (5) hours performed by a journeyman.) 1. Contractors who are not already employing sufficient registered apprentices to comply with the one-to-five ratio must request the dispatch of required apprentices from the apprenticeship committees providing training in each applicable craft or trade and whose geographic area of operation includes the site of the public work by giving the committee written notice of at least 72 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the date on which apprentices are required. 2. If the apprenticeship committee from which apprentice dispatch is requested does not dispatch apprentices as requested, the contractor must request apprentice dispatch from another committee providing training in the applicable craft or trade in the geographic area of the site of the public work, and must request dispatch from each such committee, either consecutively or simultaneously, until the contractor has requested apprentice dispatch from each such committee in the geographic area. 3. If a non-signatory contractor is dispatched fewer apprentices than requested from an apprenticeship program the contractor must request dispatch from all other committees that provide training in the applicable craft or trade whose geographic area of operation includes the site of the public work. (Title 8, California Code of Regulations, Section 230.1). 3. Make training fund contributions in the amount established in the Prevailing Wage Rate publication for journeymen and apprentices. Contractors who contribute to an apprenticeship program are entitled to a full credit in the amount of those contributions. Contractors who do not c ontribute to an apprenticeship program must submit their contributions to the California Apprenticeship Council. Funds are due & payable by the 15th of the month for work performed during the preceding month. The contribution should be paid by check and be accompanied by a copy of the completed CAC - Training Fund Contributions online form found at: https://www.dir.ca.gov/DAS/tf/cac2.asp, and mailed to: Department of Industrial Relations California Apprenticeship Council P.O. Box 511283 Los Angeles, CA 90051-7838 See www.dir.ca.gov for the complete regulations and Labor Code provisions.

Pursuant to California Code of Regulations Section 16437(e) (1), the Labor Commissioner must approve, modify or disapprove the Request for Approval of Forfeiture Amount within 30 days of his receipt of that request. Time is very much of the essence with respect to this matter. "[Enter Awarding Body]" is fully prepared to receive and consider any evidence that you may provide to explain why the violations alleged did not take place. We are also fully prepared to receive and consider evidence that the violation was caused by good faith mistake and that you have promptly corrected such violation.

Failure to provide such evidence may result in the Labor Commissioner’s approval of the request without modification. If you change address or elect to retain an attorney in this matter, it is your responsibility to advise both "[Enter Awarding Body]" and the Labor Commissioner of such by certified mail.
