CA AB1669

Expands employee retention requirements for public service contracts to include exclusive contracts for collection and transportation of solid waste, in addition to existing public transit service contracts.

Requires contractors bidding on solid waste collection contracts to declare whether they will retain prior contractor employees for at least 90 days, and grants a 10 percent bidding preference to those who agree to do so.

Mandates existing contractors provide employee information (names, addresses, hire dates, wages, benefits, job classifications) to the awarding authority and bona fide bidders in writing at least 30 days before bids are due.

Establishes special provisions for solid waste contracts limiting employee retention requirements to those whose jobs would be terminated, exempting employees who don't meet hiring qualifications or would displace existing unionized employees, and requiring 30 days notice and opportunity to cure before civil action or contract termination.

Applies only to service contracts awarded on or after January 1, 2017, and does not affect contracts awarded or bid on before that date.
