Senate Bill 854 requires all contractors and subcontractors meet minimum qualification requirements and register with the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) in order to be eligible to bid and work on public works projects. Public works refers to construction, alteration, demolition, installation, or repair work (including maintenance) done under contract and paid for by public funds.
As of March 1, 2015, only registered contractors and subcontractors will be eligible to bid on public works projects.
A valid DIR registration ID will be required from contractors and subcontractors prior to the award of any contract dated April 1, 2015 or later.
