Powered by Planet Bids
Thank you very much for your interest in doing business with the City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department (SBMWD). We are committed to providing an equal opportunity for all business enterprises to participate in our purchasing and contracting activities.
Registration Requirements for all Public Work
Requirements from the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR):
In 2014, the California legislature enacted several laws impacting public works contracting. Senate Bill 854 (SB 854) creates changes in the way the DIR monitors prevailing wage requirements (PDF). All contractors and subcontractors must register with the DIR and meet DIR requirements before bidding on public works contracts in California. No contractor or subcontractor may be awarded a contract for public work on a public works project unless registered with the DIR.
Phases
- All contractors and subcontractors must furnish electronic certified payroll records directly to the Labor Commissioner (Division of Labor Standards Enforcement). The phase-in timetable for this requirement is as follows:
- April 1, 2015: For all new projects awarded on or after this date, the contractors and subcontractors must furnish electronic certified payroll records to the Labor Commissioner.
- January 1, 2016: The requirement for contractors and subcontractors to furnish electronic certified payroll records to the Labor Commissioner will apply to all public works projects, whether new or ongoing.
