Design-build contracts: labor compliance program: exemptions.

Existing law requires public entities to comply with certain procedures in soliciting and evaluating bids and awarding contracts for the erection, construction, alteration, repair, or improvement of any public structure, building, road, or other public improvement. Existing law authorizes school district governing boards, the governing boards of specified community college districts and community college facility construction projects, certain cities, certain counties, and transit operators, to enter into design-build contracts, as specified. Existing law requires awarding bodies entering into design-build contracts under these provisions to establish and enforce a labor compliance program or to contract with a 3rd party to operate a labor compliance program, and exempts from this requirement projects where the awarding body or the design-build entity has entered into a collective bargaining agreement that binds all of the contractors performing work on the project. This bill would delete the exemption for those projects from the requirement that the entity establish and enforce a labor compliance program or contract with a 3rd party to operate a labor compliance program.
