WHATS NEW?
*California Contractors- DIR Registration due before July 1
 
For companies performing prevailing wage work in California, you must be registered as a Public Works Contractor with the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR)  and pay an annual fee of $300.00.  Registration is now open on the DIR's website and is due not later than July 1, 2017. Here is the link.  
 
Remember, your company must be registered at the time of bid (or face an additional penalty amount of $2,000).
 
Contractor registration applies to any entity who performs work which must pay prevailing wages, this includes: contractors, subcontractors, temporary staffing services, trucking companies, surveyors, inspectors, material testing, owner/operators, sole proprietors. Even if a contractor subcontracts out all work, the contractor must still be registered.

FROM THE INBOX....
You asked, we answered!

Question: How do I go about getting a wage rate  for Surveyors on a Davis Bacon project?
 
Answer: Surveyors performing work on an active construction site are covered by federal Davis Bacon rates.  All Agency Memo 212 issued March 22, 2013 states that those performing actual physical work as part of a surveying team are considered laborers and mechanics and covered by Davis Bacon prevailing wages. 

Some of the wage determinations still do not have a wage rate listed for surveyors, so a conformance request (SF1444) should be used to request the rate. The wage determination only applies to an active construction site (not surveying work as part of a design phase).  Typically the wage rates do not apply to the Chief of the Party who is generally an exempt employee. However, those performing measurements and staking (typically referred to as Rodman, Chainman, or Staking) are covered by prevailing wages.
