NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Redevelopment Agency of the City of South San Francisco that it hereby adopts the following prevailing wage policy: {a) General Policy. Condition: Before a building permit is issued the developer shall either (a) provide the City with a bond, subject to the approval of the City Attorney, guaranteeing the timely completion of construction of the project, or (b) provide proof to the City that it agrees to pay during construction the general prevailing rate of per diem wages as determined and published by the California Department of Industrial and Labor Relations pursuant to Section 1770 et seq. of the Labor Code. Application: "Construction work" includes all construction of the building core and shell. Also included are public works that are within the customary jurisdiction of the construction trades and crafts, whether performed on or off the project site. Work done off the site on materials to be assembled in the project at a later date is not covered by this policy, but the work of assembly of such materials on site is covered. Final clean-up and delivery work is not included. This policy shall not apply to supervisory, managerial or secretarial personnel, to persons employed in the rental, operation or maintenance of the project, or to any person employed in a job classification for which no wage determination is issued. Nothing in this policy shall prevent the employment of any number of properly registered apprentices, pursuant to Section 3070 et seq. of the Labor Code. Compliance: The developer shall be deemed in compliance with this condition if (a) the appropriate bond is provided; or (b) a sworn statement that the general prevailing rate of per diem wages is being paid is provided; or (c) the performance of the construction work is to be done by subcontractors who are or will be signatory to collective bargaining agreements covering the construction work to be performed by it, between building and construction craft unions affiliated with the AFL-CIO and contractors doing business in San Mateo County. Enforcement: In addition to any other rights provided by California law to recover compensation, a worker that has been paid less than the prevailing wage rates shall have a right to commence an action against the employer for the difference between the prevailing wage rates and the amount paid for each calendar day or portion thereof for which the worker was paid less than the compensation required to be paid under the provisions of this policy. No issue other than that of the liability of the employer for the amount of unpaid wages allegedly due shall be determined in such action, and the burden shall be on the employer to establish that the amounts demanded are not due. Nothing in this section shall preclude its enforcement by the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement. (b) Projects Subject to Prevailing Wage Policy. This policy shall apply to any construction project involving discretionary approval with a total construction cost of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or more but shall not apply to any of the following: (1) Tenant improvements for which the initial building permit is issued more than one (1) year after the certificate of occupany has been approved on the building core and shell. (2) Construction of four or fewer single family residences. (3) Rehabilitation of multifamily housing of seven or fewer units financed by Community Development Block Grant funds of eleven or fewer units financed by Rental Rehabilitation Program funds. (4) Any project where Federal or State law prohibits the imposition of a prevailing wage requirement. (5) Any project subject to Federal or State prevailing wage requirements. -2- I here~ certi~ that the foregoing Resolution was regularly introduced and adopted ~ the Redevelopment Agen~ of the CiO of South San Francisco at a regular meeting held on the 14th dy of December , 1988, ~ the following vote: AYES: Boardmembers Mark N.
