G AB# 77it.,,3 MTG. 6/5/84 DEPT.,-=-E=N G;;..__ AB 3683 -FLOYD -OPPOSE lncnT Hn f2:: RECOMMENDED ACTION: That City Council oppose AB 3683 requir111g local governments contracting public works projects to have a labor compliance program and that notification of that position be given to the appropriate committee members of the Assembly Ways and Means Committee. ITEM EXPLANATION: This bill represents a m~jor co~t to locai government because it would require the establishment of contract compliance programs to assure the following: 1. Weekly certified payroll records from Contractors and Sub- contractors. 2. Review of said records by the local government agency. 3. Job inspections by the awarding agency to verify payroll records and compliance with labor law requirements. 4. Withholding of contract payments for unpaid wages and penalties. Fl SCAL IMPACT: Contract administration time required would be theoretically tripled. The time and manpower requirements for both the Contractors and the local government agency would create incurred cost and lower yield per dollar on pubiic works projects. EXHIBIT: 1. Letter of May 3, 1984, from City Engineer. I .. .I : - MAY 3, 1984 TO: FROM: CITY MANAGER City Engineer PENDING LEGISLATION -AB3683 (Floyd) RECEIVED MAY 81984 CITY OF CARLSBAD ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT Suggest Carlsbad oppose the referenced legislation. We do generally comply with the first two provisions of the proposed bill. The last four provisions would present quite a burden and would probably triple the time presently spent in contract administration. The increased a~tivity required of the contractor and the city would result in accelerated deterioration of the amount of public works facility we will get for our public works dollar. RONALD A.
