Contractor Compliance and
Monitoring Inc. was incorporated in
2002. The primary focus of CCMI is to
help public entities comply with the
Kindergarten-University Public Education
Facilities Bond Act of 2002 & 2004 or
the
Water Security, Clean
Drinking Water, Coastal and Beach
Protection Act of 2002, otherwise known,
as Prop 47 & 55 bond funding for school
districts and Prop 50 bond funding for
water entities. LCP’s have recently
been expanded to projects covered by
Prop 84 Funding, certain types of
design-build on public construction,
housing projects and transportation
projects.
CCMI is an approved Third
Party Administrator of Labor Compliance
Programs by the California Department of
Industrial Relations.
The three principals of
the firm bring nearly 70 years combined
experience in public works contracting
and the implementation of prevailing
wage requirements. The president,
Deborah Wilder, started writing Labor
Compliance Programs in 1991 when they
were first created by the legislature,
including one for the City of Ceres in
1995, which is still in effect today.
Mark Aydelotte and Mark Watchers, the
two other principals in the firm, have a
combined 45 years experience in the
field of prevailing wage auditing,
monitoring and/or training.
Since 1981 Wilder has had experience in the field of public
works and prevailing wage issues and
started represented contractors, both
union and non-union, in this field in
1984. Wilder has also taught seminars to
contractors on the legal requirements of
prevailing wage work, including the
determination of proper wages, certified
payrolls, apprenticeship requirements,
fringe benefit calculations, as well as
a whole host of other labor and public
contracting laws (anti-kickback,
non-discrimination, prompt pay,
subcontractor listing, etc.). Some of
these seminars have been presented
through Wilder’s law firm, others
through trade associations and others
through public agencies, i.e.
co-sponsored with the U.S. Small
Business Administration, Caltrans, and
California Department of Corrections.
A
substantial part of the firm’s
experience involves the monitoring of
certified payrolls, including the proper
use of wage determinations published by
the Department of Industrial Relations
(DIR) as well as the proper
understanding and use of apprenticeship
requirements, i.e. DAS-140 forms,
training contributions and the
requirements of Labor Code Section
1777.5 regarding the training of
apprentices. This experience includes
being involved with over one hundred
audits with the Department of Industrial
Relations, including both a “paper
audit” of the certified payroll and
related forms, as well as investigation
of claims or charges of impropriety
brought by the DIR and/or individual
third parties.
CCMI
prides itself in taking a proactive,
educational approach in working with
public entities and contractors before
problems arise. CCMI’s employment of
individuals with construction and
prevailing wage experience is key to
establishing good working relationships
with the public entity and various
contractors.
“We are not merely a
‘consulting’ firm, but rather a firm who
understands the needs of public entities
and contractors to ‘get the project
done.’”
CCMI is
proud of its labor neutral stance. The
company is not affiliated with any labor
organization, union or trade association
which advocates for or against union
membership and seeks equal compliance by
all contractors. CCMI represents public
entities from Yreka to Chula Vista,
including the University of California.
