Senate Xxxx 854. SB 854 xxxx signed into law on June 20, 2014, established a new public works contractor registration program to replace prior Compliance Monitoring Unit (CMU) and Labor Compliance Program (LCP) requirements for bond-funded and other specified public works projects. The Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) requires all contractors and subcontractors who bid or perform work on a public works project (as defined under the Labor Code) be subject to a registration and annual renewal fee. Contractors must apply online and meet minimum qualifications to be registered as eligible to bid and work on public works projects. The requirement to list only registered contractors and subcontractors on bids becomes effective on March 1, 2015. The requirement to only use registered contractors and subcontractors on public works projects applies to all projects awarded on or after April 1, 2015. This project shall comply with the requirement of SB 854. Coverage is not limited only to work performed at the construction site by the traditional construction trades, but extends broadly to workers employed “in the execution of” the public works contract. Survey and Geotechnical Services will only need to register if the scope of services provided would require the payment of prevailing wage and be considered to be covered under the California Labor Code. Even though survey and geotechnical services typically are viewed as consultants and generally do not necessarily fit the term “contractor,” compliance with section SB 854 will be required by the Department of Industrial Relations ("DIR"). Essentially, if the services provided by a survey or geotechnical services firm would be considered to be covered under the applicable California Labor Code sections, then they should register. It should be noted that only the firm needs to register and not individual licensed design professional(s). Attention is directed to the revisions to Labor Code Section 4. 1725.5 and Section 5. 1771.1:
