New DIR Website Includes Links to DIR Public Works/Awarding Body Activity

Posted on July 28, 2015 by CASH

July 28, 2015

The Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) has launched its new website: http://www.dir.ca.gov/Public-Works/PublicWorks.html, which provides specific “links” for Awarding Bodies, Contractors, Apprentices, Prevailing Wage, and Certified Payroll Reporting. There is a link on the main page for a searchable database for public works projects (public access). This link is important because the search will reveal the “DIR Project ID” number that is critical for the contractors’ ability to enter their certified payroll reports into the electronic Certified Payroll Records (eCPR) system. Awarding Bodies cannot see this number on their version of the form PWC-100 after it is filed – they must access the public version to obtain the number and then provide it to their contractor(s).
