*********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
The following information is revised to reflect amendments
adopted by the committee on August 27, 2015
Bill
Summary: AB 219 would expand the definition of public works to
include the hauling and delivery of ready-mixed concrete to
carry out a public works contract.
Fiscal
Impact:
The California Department of Transportation (CalTrans)
estimates that this bill would result in increased costs of
$21 million to $42 million (special funds), which include
impacts to materials costs, compliance and administration.
The Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) would incur
first-year costs of $127,000 and $119,000 in the out-years
(special funds) monitor and enforce the bill's prevailing wage
requirements for non-CalTrans projects. To the extent that DIR
issues additional fines, special funds revenues would

increase. The magnitude is unknown.
While the bill would impact CalTrans disproportionately at the
state level, it could also potentially result in increased
administrative, materials and compliance costs to other
departments that use ready-mix concrete, including the High
Speed Rail Authority, the Department of Water Resources, the
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, the Department
of General Services, and the three segments of higher
education (the University of California, California State
University, and the California Community Colleges). The
magnitudes are unknown.
Author
Amendments: Specify (1) that entities hauling ready-mix concrete
shall be considered subcontractors, and (2) that the bill is
effective for contracts awarded after July 1, 2016.
