Construction Apprentice Labor for Public Works Projects 5 to 1 Ratio (Palm Springs)
QR Code Link to This Post
Most public works contracts valued at $30,000 or more carry an obligation to hire apprentices where the trade/work is apprenticeable (except where the trade does not require apprentices). This applies to prime contractors and any subcontractors on the project.
In addition, contractors must submit contract award information (DAS 140 form) to applicable apprenticeship committees within 10 days of awarding the contract and may need to file a request for apprentice dispatch (DAS 142 form) if they do not have sufficient registered apprentices in their employ.
Arena Construction Services Handles this:
Contractors are required to make training fund contributions supporting the apprenticeship system as part of compliance with Labor Code Section 1777.5.
1. Summary of Minimum Requirements (Practical Checklist):
2. Apprentice must be registered in a state-approved program.
3. Pay prevailing wage rates for apprentices as published for the county/trade.
4. Meet the apprentice-to-journeyman hour ratio (typically 1:5).
5. File DAS 140 (contract award) and DAS 142 (request for dispatch) forms timely.
6. Make required training contributions.
