DIR Contractor

The California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) requires that all construction contractors performing a public works project pay prevailing wages as determined by DIR and be registered with the DIR Public Works Contractor Registration database.

All construction contractors doing business with Vital Valt must be registered at both the time of bid and at the time of award.

The DIR requires the field surveying, field soils and material testing, building and construction management companies to register with the Contractor Database. Also, contractors, regardless of tier, are required to register if they are responsible for the payment of prevailing wage. This includes prime contractors who do not perform prevailing wage covered work, but have hired a contractor that is performing covered work.

Public works in general means:

  • Construction, alteration, demolition, installation, or repair work done under contract & paid in whole or in part out of public funds.
  • It can include preconstruction & post-construction activities related to a public works project.
  • For a full definition of public works refer to Labor Code section 1720.

Before you start renovating your home or business take a moment to research and verify your contractors qualifications.

LICENSING

This includes verifying that the contractor is licensed by checking their license and photo identification to verify that the person with the license is the person who shows up for the quote. Additionally, verify if a license is current by visiting the Contractors State License Board’s website. This website will also verify if the contractor is in good standing.

INSURANCE

Always ask for copies of insurance certificates and make sure they are current, or you could be held liable for any injuries and damages that occur during the project. Contractors should have ALL of the following:

  • Personal Liability
  • Workers Compensation
  • Property Damage Coverage

Licensed contractors have gained experience and knowledge through the proper training and legal processes. They put in the time to obtain the appropriate licenses and permits from authorized government offices, after passing the license test.
