A SOLUTION FOR EVERY BUILDING DESIRE

What Is a Public Works A License?

A Public Works A License refers to a contractor’s eligibility to perform construction work on projects funded by public entities, including cities, counties, state agencies, and other government bodies. In California, public works projects are governed by specific laws and oversight standards that protect workers, taxpayers, and the public.

To legally perform public works construction, contractors must meet requirements such as:

  • Holding the appropriate California contractor license classification
  • Maintaining active registration with the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR)
  • Paying prevailing wages to all qualifying workers
  • Submitting certified payroll records
  • Meeting apprenticeship, insurance, and bonding requirements

RD Fast Construction satisfies all applicable criteria, allowing us to operate as a compliant and reliable public works contractor across a wide range of infrastructure and civil construction projects.

Why Licensing and Compliance Matter in Public Works Construction

Public works construction is highly regulated for a reason. These projects involve public funding, long-term infrastructure, and community impact. Agencies must ensure contractors follow labor laws, safety regulations, and strict reporting standards.

Working with an unqualified or improperly registered contractor can result in:

  • Project delays or stoppages
  • Cost overruns and contract disputes
  • Legal exposure for the awarding agency
  • Disqualification from future public bids

RD Fast Construction removes that risk. Our licensing, registration, and internal compliance systems are in place before a project begins, ensuring smooth execution and accountability from day one.

We support public agencies with infrastructure improvements that require precision, durability, and regulatory compliance. This includes grading, site development, and engineered construction work tied to public use.

Roadway and Transportation Improvements

Public streets, access roads, and transportation-related improvements require careful scheduling, safety planning, and coordination with governing bodies. Our team understands the logistical and compliance demands of these projects.
