    It is not a violation of this section for an unregistered contractor to submit a bid that is authorized by section 7029.1 of the Business and Professions Code, or by section 10164 or 20103.5 of the Public Contract Code, provided the contractor is registered to perform public work pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5 at the time the contract is awarded.

    Pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5, a contractor who fails to pay the renewal fee required on or before the expiration of any prior period of registration shall be prohibited from bidding on or engaging in the performance of any contract for public work until once again registered as a Public Works Contractor.

    This does not apply to work performed on a public works project of $25,000 or less when the project is for construction, alteration, demolition, installation, or repair work and $15,000 or less when the project is for maintenance work.

    31. Prevailing Wage Requirements

     Certified Payroll Reporting Forms and Payroll Records 

    1.  Contractor/Vendor will and shall be responsible for the submission of certified payroll records of Contractor/Vendor and all Subcontractors within ten (10) days of the week ending date of each week.  Contractor/Vendor shall submit weekly original hard copy certified payroll records, including certified Non-Performance payroll records to the District’s LCP at:

    LAUSD, Facilities Services Division

    Labor Compliance Department

    P.O. Box 513307

    3.  Contractor/Vendor shall provide, and shall cause all Subcontractors to provide, “Payroll Records” as defined in Title 8 CCR section 16000 to District, within ten (10) days of written request, at no cost to District.  “Payroll Records” are all un-redacted certified payroll records, time cards, sign-in sheets, daily construction reports, check stubs, canceled checks, cash receipts, trust fund forms, books, documents, schedules, forms, reports, recipes or other evidences which reflect the job assignments, work schedules by days and hours, and 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 Project.

Payroll Record Liquidated Damages shall continue to accrue until strict compliance is effectuated. Upon issuance of a Payroll Record Liquidated Damages Permanent Assessment, the liquidated damages amount will be disbursed to the District. The Payroll Record Liquidated Damages amounts are agreed upon by and between Contractor/Vendor and District because of the difficulty of fixing District actual damages in the event of failure to submit such documents. Contractor/Vendor and District specifically agree that said amounts are reasonable estimates of District damages in such event, and that such amounts do not constitute a penalty. Contractor/Vendor and District acknowledge and agree that the liquidated damages contained in this provision are reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time of Contractor/Vendor’s execution of the Contract. These Payroll Record Liquidated Damages are distinct from statutory Labor Code Liquidated Damages. This remedy is not exclusive and is cumulative of all other remedies available to District.

    Withholding Of Contract Payments

    1.  District will withhold payments from Contractor/Vendor in accordance with its rights and obligations under Labor Code section 1720 et seq. and applicable regulations, including, but not limited to, for all back wages, penalties and Labor Code Liquidated Damages.

    2.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this contract, District may withhold payment from any portion of the Contract Amount then or thereafter due the Contractor/Vendor for violation by Contractor/Vendor or any Subcontractor of the requirements of this PREVAILING WAGE REQUIREMENT section and for Payroll Record Liquidated Damages. Without limitation to the foregoing, payment shall not be made to the Contractor/Vendor when certified payroll records by Contractor/Vendor or any of its Subcontractors are delinquent or inadequate in accordance with Title 8 CCR 16435.
