Prevailing Wage Monitoring Program (DLSE PWC-100)

The Monroe Elementary School District has adopted the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (CUPCCAA) set forth at California Public Contract Code (PCC) Section 22000. The CUPCCAA allows the district to conduct Informal Bidding Procedures (PCC Section 22034) for public works construction projects valued at $45,000 up to $175,000 with prequalified contractors. The District will maintain a new list of prequalified contractors for all trades. All previous pre-qualifications shall now be disregarded.

In addition, according to Labor Code 1725.5 Subsection (f) which went into law on July 1, 2017 all contractors who wish to bid or perform work on public works projects are required to register with the Department of Industrial Relations. All agencies, such as the District, shall include in the Notice Inviting Bids and Contract documents provisions that specify that the project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by DIR. The District is required to submit Form PWC-100 to DIR for public projects valued at $15,000 and up for maintenance work and $25,000 and up for new construction, alteration, installation and demolition or repair. Certified Payrolls shall be submitted by the Contractor directly to the DIR. No public works contract shall be awarded to a Contractor and no subcontractor shall perform work unless the firm is properly registered with the DIR.
