Concerning the Department of Engineering of the State of California.

The Department of Engineering was created by an act of the Legislature of the State of California, approved on March 11, 1907.

Section 1 of the contract law of the State Department of Engineering, approved June 8, 1915, pro- vides that "Whenever provision is made by law for the erection, construction, alteration, repair or improvement of any State structure, building, road, or other State improvement of any kind, except- ing improvements on the property of the State on the waterfront of the City and County of San Fran- cisco under the jurisdiction of the Board of State Harbor Commissioners, the total cost of which will exceed the sum of $1,000.00, the same shall be under the sole charge and direct control of the Depart- ment of Engineering."

Section 11 of the Department of Engineering law, approved May 19, 1915, is in part as follows: "All architectural work of the Department shall be under the charge of the State Architect. When, however, it shall be deemed to be for the best interests of the State, the Board of Control, with the approval of the Governor, may require and arrange for public competition, and in all such Competi- tions the Board of Control with the approval of the Governor and with the advice of the State Archi- tect, may prescribe the schedule of prizes, the total of which, exclusive of the fee of the winner, shall not exceed one per centum of the amount appropriated for any building. The fee of the successful Architect shall not exceed six per centum of the cost of said building."

The Legislature of 1913 passed an act designated as Chapter No. 235, Statutes of 1913 and to be found on Pages 389, 390, 391, 392, 393 and 394 thereof, which act was approved by the Governor on June 5, 1913, and which provided for the issuance and sale of State bonds to create a fund for the construction, equipment and furnishing of State Buildings in the City of Sacramento, to be used by various officers, boards and commissions of the State, and which act provided for its submission to a vote of the people. This act of the Legislature was ratified by the people at the general election held in the month of November, A. D. 1914. Section 5 of this act is as follows: "Section 5. Any and all moneys derived from the sale of the bonds provided for in this act are hereby appropriated and shall be used exclusively for the following purpose, to wit : The constructing and equipping of State Buildings in the City of Sacramento, State of California, for the various officers, boards and commissions of the State, at a cost not to exceed the total sum of three million dollars, such portion of said sum of three mil- lion dollars to be used for furnishing and equipping of said State Buildings as may be determined by a board consisting of the Governor, the presiding justice of the Supreme Court, and the State Librarian, which board for such purpose is hereby created; provided, however, that no moneys pro- vided for by this act shall be used for such purpose until a site suitable for such purpose, and accept- able to the State Board last above created, shall be donated or given to the State, the title thereto to be free and clear of all liens and encumbrances; the number of buildings and their location on the lands to be donated shall be determined by said board in this subdivision of this section mentioned; the plans and specifications for said buildings, and each of the same, shall be prepared under the direction and control of said board in this subdivision of this section provided for."

The full text of the Department of Engineering law and of the contract law of the State Depart- ment of Engineering, as amended, also the full text of the act of the Legislature of 1913, above

referred £pj ;aifK>';tiw Atchite'etS''' license law, are printed immediately following this Program and form an essential part hereof.

In accordance with Section 5 of the act of the Legislature of 1913 above quoted, the Sacramento State Buildings Commission has accepted a site for the buildings, consisting of the two blocks of land situated between Ninth and Tenth, L and N Streets, which was donated to the State by the City of Sacramento and has determined that there shall be two buildings erected upon said site, one to be the Library and Courts Building and the other the Office Building.

The Board of Control, with the approval of the Governor, by virtue of the power vested in it by Section 11 of the Department of Engineering law, has instituted this Competition.

The office of the Board of Control is in the State Capitol at Sacramento, California.

As provided by Section 11 of the Department of Engineering law, the State Architect is architect- ural advisor to advise the Board of Control in the preparation of this Program and in the conduct of this Competition.

The office of the State Architect is in the Forum Building, Sacramento, California.

Concerning the Nature of the Competition.

[For the sake of convenience and clearness, all paragraphs that are mandatory in their nature are printed in black- face type. Failure to comply with all mandatory requirements will preclude any award in favor of the designer so fail- ing. In the use of the words "Architect" and "Competitor," the singular number shall also include a firm of Architects or two or more Architects associated together for the purpose of this Competition.]

One. In conducting this Competition, the State desires to put before the architectural profession a Program of Conditions that will invite the participation of the ablest members of the profession. At the same time it is deemed necessary to safeguard the Competition with certain restrictions, to the end that no appointment as Architect of the Sacramento State Buildings will be made of any Compet- itor until he has demonstrated to the entire satisfaction of the Jury, composed as described in Sections 34 and 35 hereof, his artistic talent, integrity and administrative ability to execute his designs should he be selected. To effect this purpose, the Competition is held in two stages, the first stage being for the purpose of eliminating all but eight Architects who will be selected by the Jury to be admitted to the second stage.

Two. It is the desire of the Sacramento State Buildings Commission to secure for the State of Cali- fornia the best buildings that can be obtained within the appropriation, considered from the standpoint of adaptability, durability and artistic qualities; the Board of Control, therefore, invites all Architects, citizens of the United States, who have had the necessary experience, to participate in this competition, provided, in the case of California Architects, that they are certificated to practice architecture in the State of California, or, in the case of Architects not of California, that they are entitled to a certificate to practice in California. Information regarding the conditions to be met in order to be entitled to this certificate may be obtained from the California State Board of Architecture, Phelan Building, San Fran- cisco, California.

Concerning the State Capitol and Its Relation to the Two New Buildings.

Three. The two new buildings are to form a portion of a group of three monumental buildings, which group will be dominated by the present Capitol, which was constructed during the years from 1860 to 1874. The site of the Capitol lies higher than that of the two new buildings, the various levels being indicated on the plot plan which accompanies this Program. The first story of the Capitol is faced on the exterior with granite and the remaining stories are of brick with cement plaster finish painted.

Four. One of the two new buildings will house the State Library, the Supreme Court and the District Court of Appeal. The other new building will house State Offices and Departments. The determina- tion as to the placing of the two new buildings on the site, also the decision as to which of the two blocks shall be made the site for the Library and Courts Building, are to be reached by the Competitors as they may see fit.

Five. A plot plan showing a portion of the Capitol Park and the site of the two new buildings, also three photographs of the Capitol, also two sectional drawings through the west front and dome of the Capitol, all of which accompany this Program, form an essential part hereof.

Six. Competitors who can conveniently do so, should personally view the Capitol and the site of the two new buildings. M Street between Ninth and Tenth Streets has been vacated by the City of Sacra- mento and, therefore, is a part of the site of the buildings ; access to the Capitol for vehicles direct from M Street is, however, desirable. The street cars on Tenth Street are not to be disturbed.

Concerning the General Conditions of the Competition.

Seven. If an association with another Architect or firm of Architects is contemplated, such associa- tion must be formed before plans are submitted and must continue until the completion of the buildings should the Competitor become the winner of first place in this Competition,

Eight. Should any design submitted contain an original feature not contained in the drawings of any other Competitor, such original feature will not be adopted, or made use of in any way, except with the author's full consent.

Nine. Should any inquiries for further information concerning the conditions of the Program be found necessary by any Competitor, such inquiries in every case must be made by letter sent through the mails to the State Architect, Forum Building, Sacramento, California, and in no other way. These inquiries shall be anonymous. All such inquiries with their answers will be copied and simultaneously sent to all competitors by the State Architect. With reference to the first stage, no inquiry bearing a postmark later than May 1, 1918, will be answered; with reference to the second stage, no inquiry bearing a postmark later than August 15, 1918, will be answered. No information will be given in any other manner by the Board of Control or any member thereof, or by the Secretary, or by any member of the Jury or by the State Architect, or by any of his confidential assistants.

Ten. Any Competitor who shall seek in any way, directly or indirectly to influence in his favor any of those in control of this Competition, shall forfeit all privileges and rights under this Program.

Eleven. The buildings shall be of skeleton steel frame construction, fire-resisting, according to the very best practice. All material shall be of the very best quality ; preference shall be given to California material and also to California labor where same of suitable character can be obtained at reasonable market prices. The material to be used for facing the exteriors shall be either marble, granite or other stone.

Twelve. For the purposes of this competition, fifty cents per cubic foot has been determined upon to cover the cost of the construction for the Office Building and for the book and newspaper stacks in the State Library, including the stacks themselves and the building housing them ; and forty-five cents per cubic foot for the Library and Courts building exclusive of the book and newspaper stacks and their housing.

Thirteen. For the purposes of this competition, the Library and Courts Building shall not exceed in cubical contents, 2,400,000 cubic feet, exclusive of the State Library book and newspaper stacks, the cubical contents of which must not exceed 400,000 cubic feet additional; the Office Building shall not exceed in cubical contents 2,600,000 cubic feet. The cubage shall be computed as carefully as possible, showing the actual volume of the buildings calculated from levels 4 feet below sidewalk grades at centers of principal facades, to the mid-height of the roofs, if sloping, and to the highest points of the roofs, if flat, and contained within the outside surfaces of the walls. Pilasters, cornices, balconies and other sim- ilar projections shall not be included. Porticos with engaged columns and similar projections shall be taken as solids and figured to the outer face of the column. When columns are free standing, one-half of the volume of the porticos shall be taken. There shall also be included in the cubage, the actual vol- ume of all dormers, vaults and other features adding to the bulk of the buildings, also the actual volume of exterior steps above grade. Light wells of an area of less than 400 square feet shall not be deducted.

Fourteen. In calculating cubage, account shall be taken of the variation in the exterior wall surface, as for example, the projection of a basement story beyond the general line of the building.

Fifteen. Any excess of cubical contents for the Library and Courts Building, above 2,400,000 cubic feet, exclusive of the State Library book and newspaper stacks, and above 400,000 cubic feet additional for the State Library book and newspaper stacks, and for the Office Building, above 2,600,000 cubic feet, calculated as above stated, will place the author of the design out of the competition.

Sixteen. The heating plant for the entire group of three buildings will be installed in the basement of the Office Building.

Seventeen. The relations of the buildings to the boundary lines of the site are not to be shown, except on the plot plan.

Sixty-four. Within the week next following the expiration of four days from the date fixed for the receipt of the drawings in the second stage, the Jury, the State Architect and the Secretary of the Board of Control will meet and, provided there are present at least a majority of the Jury, will open one of the original packages received. The number "one" will be placed on each sheet of drawings and on the typewritten statement and on the sealed envelope. The Secretary of the Board of Control will then take charge, for safe keeping, of the envelope with the seal unbroken. The same course will be fol- lowed with all the packages, a different number being used in connection with each one.

Sixty-five. Immediately following the procedure described in Section Sixty-four, the Jury will pro- ceed to select drawings which shall conform in all respects to the conditions and requirements of this Program ; any drawings not so conforming will be placed out of competition. The State Architect will assist the Jury and will participate in its deliberations, but he shall have no vote.

Sixty-six. The Jury will select from all the drawings conforming in all respects to the conditions and requirements of this Program, the set of drawings that, in their judgment, is best. No verdict of the Jury can be had except by a majority vote of those present.

Sixty-seven. After the Jury has made its selection, as provided in Section Sixty-six, it will call upon the Secretary of the Board of Control to deliver to it the sealed envelope which bears the number corresponding to the number on the designs and plans as selected and will open the same ; from the information obtained therefrom, the Jury will recommend the author of such designs and plans as the winner of the Competition.

Sixty-eight. Such recommendation of award will be thereafter transmitted to the State Board of Control for final approval.

Sixty-nine. The author of the designs so selected by the Jury and approved by the State Board of Control will be appointed Architect of the Library and Courts Building and of the Office Building, on the terms hereinafter provided.

Seventy. No Competitor shall have any claim on the Board of Control or on the State other than those already enumerated, and no claims shall be made by any Competitor for any fee, percentage, or payment whatever, or for any expense to himself or growing out of his participation, other than as expressly provided for herein.

Seventy-one. A public exhibit of all drawings submitted in the second stage will be made.

Seventy-two. All drawings, except those of the winner of the first place, will be returned to their authors at the close of the public exhibition by the Secretary of the Board of Control, the Board of Control assuming no responsibility in case of drawings lost or damaged in transit or otherwise.

Seventy-three. Notice of the decision of the Jury as to its award together with a copy of its report to be made to the Board of Control, giving a brief general statement of the reasons for the selection of the winning designs, will be mailed to each Competitor in the second stage.

Seventy-seven. In case of the abandonment of the work before working drawings are begun, the payment due upon the completion of the preliminary drawings, one-fifth of the total fee less previous payments shall be considered as final settlement for the services of the Architect. A copy of all draw- ings shall be furnished to the Department of Engineering.

Seventy-eight. On completion of the work and before the Architect receives his final payment, he shall file with the Department of Engineering, complete sets of blue prints on cloth and sets of specifi- cations, all corrected to represent the buildings as executed.

Eighty-one. All or any of the above settlements shall be in full for all services rendered in connec- tion with this Competition, and no claims shall be made by the winner for any fee, percentage, or payment whatever, or for any expense to himself or growing out of his participation, other than as expressly provided for herein.

The whole issue of said bonds shall not exceed the sum of three million dollars, and said bonds shall bear interest at the rate of four per centum per annum from the date of issuance thereof, and both principal and interest shall be payable in gold coin of the present stand- ard of value, and they shall be payable at the office of the state treasurer, at the expiration of fifty years from their date. Said bonds shall bear date the second day of July, 1915, and shall be payable on the second day of July, 1965. The interest accruing on such of said bonds as are sold shall be due and payable at the office of the state treasurer on the second day of January and on the second day of July of each year after the sale of the same. At the expiration of fifty years from the date of said bonds all bonds sold shall cease to bear interest, and the state treasurer shall call in, forthwith pay and cancel the same out of the moneys in the sinking and interest fund pro- vided for in this act. All bonds issued shall be signed by the governor, and countersigned by the controller, and shall be endorsed by the state treasurer, and the said bonds shall be so signed, countersigned, and endorsed by the officers who are in office on the second day of July, 1915, and each of said bonds shall have the seal of the state impressed thereon. The said bonds signed, countersigned, endorsed and sealed as herein provided when sold shall be and constitute a valid and binding obligation upon the State of California, though the sale thereof be made at a date or dates after the person signing, countersigning and endorsing, or any or either of them, shall have ceased to be the incumbents of such office or offices.

SEC. 2. Interest coupons shall be attached to each of said bonds, so that such coupons may be removed without injury to or mutilation of the bond. Said bonds shall be consecu- tively numbered, and shall bear the lithographed signature f the state treasurer who shall be in office on the second day of July, 1915. But no interest on any of said bonds shall be paid for any time which may intervene between the date of any of said bonds and the issue and sale thereof to a purchaser, unless such accrued interest shall have been by the purchaser of said bond, paid to the state at the time of such sale.

SEC. 3. The sum of five thousand dollars is hereby appro- priated out of any moneys in the state treasury not otherwise appropriated to pay the expenses that may be incurred by the state treasurer in having said bonds prepared.

SEC. 4. When the bonds authorized to be issued under this act shall be duly executed, they shall be sold by the state treasurer at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in such parcels and numbers as shall be directed by the gover- nor of the state ; but the state treasurer must reject any and all bids for said bonds, or for any of them, which shall be below the par value of said bonds so offered plus the interest which has accrued thereon between the date of sale and the last preceding interest maturity date and he may, by public announcement, at the place and time fixed for the sale, con- tinue such sale, as to the whole of the bonds offered, or any part thereof offered, to such time and place as he may select. When a sale is continued, as hereinabove provided, no notice need be given other than the public announcement of the continuance, as hereinabove provided. Before offering any of said bonds for sale, the said treasurer shall detach therefrom all coupons which have matured before the date fixed for such sale. Due notice of the time and place of sale of all bonds must be given by said treasurer by publication in one newspaper published in the city and county of San Francisco, and also by publication in one newspaper pub- lished in the city of Oakland, and by publication in one news- paper published in the city of Los Angeles, and by publica- tion in one newspaper published in the city of Sacramento, once a week during four weeks prior to such sale. In addition to the notice last above provided for the state treasurer must give such further notice as he may deem advisable, but the expenses and costs of such additional notice shall not exceed five hundred dollars for each sale so advertised. The costs of such publications shall be paid out of any moneys in the state treasury not other- wise appropriated on controller's warrants duly drawn for such purpose. The proceeds of the sale of such bonds, except such amount as may have been paid as accrued interest thereon, shall be forthwith paid over by said treasurer into the state treasury, and must be by him kept in a separate fund, to be known and designated as the "state buildings fund" which fund is hereby estab- lished. Any and all sums which may have been paid as accrued interest shall be forthwith paid over by said treas- urer into the state treasury, and must be by him kept in a separate fund to be known and designated as the "state buildings sinking and interest fund," which fund is hereby established.

On the first Monday in July of each year, after the sale of any of the bonds as in this act provided the state controller and state treasurer are hereby authorized and directed to transfer the moneys hereby appropriated for the payment of the principal of said bonds to the said state buildings sinking and interest fund. The moneys so transferred to the said state buildings sinking and interest fund for the payment of the principal of said bonds, shall be invested from time to time by the state treasurer in United States or state bonds. All interest pay- able on such bonds so invested shall be paid into the said state buildings sinking and interest fund and be applied and held for the payment of the principal of said bonds or rein- vested in other bonds for. the payment of such principal, as herein provided.

The principal of all of said bonds sold shall be paid at the time the same becomes due, from the "state buildings sinking and interest fund" and the interest on all bonds sold shall be paid at the time said interest becomes due from said fund and the faith of the State of California is hereby pledged for the payment of the principal of said bonds so sold and the interest accruing thereon.

The state controller and the state treasurer shall keep full and particular account and record of all their proceedings under this act, and they shall transmit to the governor an abstract of all such proceedings thereunder, with an annual report, to be by the governor laid before the legislature bien- nially ; and all books and papers pertaining to the matter provided for in this act shall at all times be open to the inspection of any party interested, or the governor, or the attorney general, or a committee of either branch of the legislature, or a joint committee of both, or any citizen of the state.

CONTRACT LAW OF STATE DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING.

An act to regulate contracts on behalf of the state in relation to the erection, construction, alteration, repair or improvement of any state structure, building, road, or other state improvement of any kind, and to repeal an act entitled, "An act to regulate contracts on behalf of the state in relation to erections and buildings," ap- proved March 28, 1816, approved March 22, 1909, approved June 14, 1913, approved June 8, 1915.

SECTION 1. Whenever provision is made by law for the erection, construction, alteration, repair or improvement of any state structure, building, road, or other state improve- ment of any kind excepting improvements on the property of the state on the water front of the city and county of San Francisco under the jurisdiction of the board of state harbor commissioners, the total cost of which will exceed the sum of one thousand dollars, the same shall be under the sole charge and direct control of the department of engineering. Said department, before entering into any contract for the erec- tion, construction, alteration, repair or improvement of any state structure, building, road, or other state improvement of any kind, shall prepare full, complete and accurate plans and specifications and estimates of cost, giving such directions for the same as will enable any competent mechanic or other builder to carry them out. The plans, specifications and estimates of cost must be approved by the advisory board of the department of engineering and the original draft thereof filed permanently in the office of the department of engineer- ing before further action is taken. (Approved June 8, 1915, Statutes 1915, p. 1306.)

SEC. 2. Said department of engineering shall after the approval and filing of plans, specifications and estimates of cost, as in this act required, let such work by contract to the lowest responsible bidder or bidders upon public notice which shall be given as follows : Notice of such work must be pub- lished once a week for three consecutive weeks next pre- ceding the day set for the receiving of bids in two trade papers of general circulation, one published in Los Angeles and one in San Francisco, devoted primarily to the dissem- ination of contract and building news among contracting and building material supply firms; provided, that if the work comes within the immediate supervision of the state engineer, in the record kept for that purpose the state engineer shall register any one desiring to be so registered for the purpose of becoming a prospective bidder upon state work, which registration shall be renewed on or before the beginning of each fiscal year, and whenever any state work is to be let by contract the state engineer shall cause a notice of the same to be mailed to each of the addresses so registered at least twenty-five days prior to the date set for the receiving of bids. In each case such notice must state the time and place for the receiving and opening of sealed bids and must also state that the bids will be required for the entire work and also, when advisable, for the performance of segregate parts of the entire work, such segregation to be determined by the department of engineering and designated in such notice. (Approved June 8, 1915, Statutes 1915, p. 1306.)

SEC. 3. On the day named in said public notice the department of engineering shall proceed to publicly open said sealed bids, and shall award such contract or contracts to the lowest responsible bidder or bidders. All bids shall be pre- sented under sealed cover and shall be accompanied by cash, a bidder's bond, or a certified check made payable to the state engineer, for an amount equal to at least ten per cent of the

amount of said bid and no bid shall be considered unless such cash, bond or check is enclosed therewith. Should the suc- cessful bidder to whom the contract is awarded fail to execute the same, such cash, bond or check shall be forfeited to the State of California and the same shall be the property of the state. All other cash, bonds and certified checks shall within ten days after the date of the award of said contract, be returned to the successful bidders who submitted the same. Such contract or contracts shall not be binding on the state until they are submitted to the attorney general and by him found to be in accordance with the provisions of this act, and his certificate thereon to that effect made. If in the opinion of such department of engineering the acceptance of the lowest responsible bid or bids shall not be for the best interests of the state, it may be lawful for them to reject all bids and advertise for others in the manner aforesaid. But after the approval of the plans, specifications and estimates of costs by the advisory board of the department of engineer- ing, if, in the opinion of such department of engineering the acceptance of any bid or bids shall not be for the best interests of the state, or if in the opinion of such department of engi- neering the acceptance of any further bids after the rejection of all bids submitted shall not be for the best interests of the state, it may be legal for them to direct that the erection, construction, alteration, repair, or improvement of any state structure, building, road, or other state improvement of any kind, except as provided in section one of this act, shall be done by day's labor, under the direction and control of the department of engineering. Upon the approval of the advisory board, the state engineer or other duly authorized officers of the department of engineering may, when proceed- ing upon the basis of day's labor, let any subdivision or unit of said work by contract upon informal bids. All contracts shall provide that such department of engineering may, as hereinafter provided, and on the conditions stated, make any change in the plans and specifications. Certified copies of such contracts shall be filed with the controller and the board of examiners. (Approved June 8, 1915, Statutes 1915, p. 1306.)

SEC. 4. After the contract or contracts are let no change shall be made to increase or diminish the cost of any contract in excess of five hundred dollars, except upon the approval of the advisory board of the department of engineering, and then only upon additional plans and specifications and esti- mates of cost being filed and approved, and amended con- tracts entered into and filed with the original contract. This section shall not be construed, in state road or highway work, to prevent the receipt of bids or the making of a con- tract upon a unit basis, that is, the bids compared upon the basis of the estimates of quantities of the work to be done, nor the increase or decrease of such quantities during the progress of the work by the department of engineering as may be deemed expedient by such department, nor the inser- tion of provisions in the contract for the performance of such extra work and the furnishing of such materials therefor by the contractor as may be required by such department for the proper completion or construction of the whole work con- templated; provided, that the bidders shall have had equal opportunity of knowing what the terms proposed by the department of engineering for the performance of such extra work shall be. (Approved June 8, 1915, Statutes 1915, p. 1306.)

SEC. 5. Except in unit basis contracts in state road or highway work, no contract or contracts shall be made exceed- ing in amount the estimates of costs approved by the advisory board of the department of engineering and no plans and

specifications and estimates of cost including expense of advertising and inspection, shall be approved by said board requiring a greater expenditure of money than is appropriated for the specific purpose in the act authorizing the same. (Approved June 8, 1915, Statutes 1915, p. 1306.)

SEC. 6. Payments upon contract shall be made as the department of engineering may prescribe upon estimates made and approved by the said department and audited by the board of examiners, but no payment shall be made in excess of ninety per cent of the percentage of actual work completed, to which has been added one-half of the value of material delivered on the ground and unused. The depart- ment of engineering shall withhold not less than ten per cent of the contract price until final completion and acceptance of the work. The controller shall draw his warrants upon esti- mates so made and approved by the department of engineer- ing and audited by the board of examiners and the state treasurer shall pay the same. (Approved March 22, 1909, Statutes 1909, p. 656.)

SEC. 7. Any member of the advisory board or persons employed under the department of engineering who shall knowingly perform any official act to the injury of the state, or any contractor or his agent or employee who shall know- ingly permit the violation of the contract of such contractor to the injury of the state, or any agent or employee of any contractor who shall have knowledge of any work being done in violation of contract and does not immediately notify the department of engineering or the inspector upon said work in regard to the same is guilty of a felony and, upon convic- tion thereof, shall be confined in the state prison for not less than one year nor more than five years, and be liable to the state for double the amount the state may have lost, or be liable to lose by reason thereof. (Approved March 22, 1909, Statutes 1909, p. 656.)

SEC. 8. Whenever, in the opinion of the department of engineering, the work under any contract made in pursuance of this act, is neglected by the contractor or contractors, or the same is not prosecuted with diligence and force specified or intended in and by the terms of the contract, it shall be lawful for such department of engineering to make a requi- sition upon such contractor or contractors for such additional specific force, or for such additional specific material, to be brought into the work under such contract, or to remove improper materials from the grounds ; of which action of said department of engineering due notice in writing of not less than five days, shall be served upon such contractor, or his or their agent having charge of the work. Such written notice may be served by personally delivering such notice to such contractor, or his agent having charge of the work, or by registered mail directed to such contractor or agent (the period of five days to run from the date of registration in the United States post office), or when such contractor or his agent has left the state or his address is unknown, by posting such notice in a conspicuous place upon the premises of work. If such contractor or contractors fail to comply with such requisition within five days, it shall be lawful for said department of engineering to employ upon such work the additional force, or supply the materials so specifically required as aforesaid, or such part of either as they may deem proper, and to remove improper materials from the grounds; and it shall be the duty of such department of engineering to make separate estimates of all such additional force or materials so employed or supplied as aforesaid, and the amount so estimated shall be charged against said con- tractor or contractors, and deducted from his or their next, or any subsequent, estimate ; or the same, or any part thereof

not paid as aforesaid, may be recovered by action from such contractor or contractors and their sureties. (Approved June 8, 1915, Statutes 1915, p. 1306.)

SEC. 9. In all contracts made under the provisions of this act, there shall be a provision in regard to the time when the whole, or any specified portion, of the work contemplated in said contract shall be completed, and also providing that for each and every day the same shall be delayed beyond such time or times so named, the said contractor or contractors shall forfeit and pay to the state a sum of money, to be fixed and determined in said contract, to be deducted from any payment or payments due, or to become due, to said con- tractor or contractors ; provided, however, that the depart- ment of engineering may, in its discretion, grant such exten- sions of time as it may deem expedient and for the best interests of the state. Any such contract shall provide for the filing of a sufficient bond by the contractor to secure the payment of the claims of material men, mechanics, or laborers employed upon state work ; a penalty of ten dollars per day to be forfeited to the state for each calendar day during which any laborer, workman, or mechanic is employed or permitted to labor more than eight hours ; a minimum com- pensation of not less than two dollars per day for labor; that no Chinese or Mongolian labor shall be employed and such other provisions as are now or may hereafter be pro- vided by law. (Approved June 8, 1915, Statutes 1915, p. 1306.)

SEC. 10. An act entitled "An act to regulate contracts on behalf of the state in relation to erections and build- ings," approved March 23, 1876, and all acts amendatory thereto are hereby repealed, and all other acts or parts of acts in conflict with the provisions of this act are hereby repealed. Such repeal shall not affect, however, the opera- tion of any other act heretofore passed, whether such act shall refer to the act hereby repealed or not, so as to exempt any public work from the provisions of this act. (Approved March 22, 1909, Statutes 1909, p. 656.)

SEC. 11. All of the provisions of this act shall be so con- strued as to preserve and keep in full force and effect all causes of action, and actions for penalties which have already accrued or may hereafter accrue under any contract, hereto- fore entered into, against any contractor or person under and by virtue of the provisions of said act entitled "An act to regulate contracts on behalf of the state in relation to erec- tions and buildings," approved March 23, 1876, which is repealed by virtue of this act, and all such actions and causes of action may be prosecuted to final judgment and all such penalties may be imposed and collected under the pro- visions of said act so repealed to the same extent and in the same manner as though said act had not been repealed. (Approved March 22, 1909, Statutes 1909, p. 656.)

punishable by fine of not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, for any person to practice architec- ture without a certificate in this state, or to advertise, or put out any sign or card, or other device which might indicate to the public that he was an architect ; provided, that nothing in this act shall prevent any person from making plans for his own buildings, nor furnishing plans or other data for buildings for other persons, provided the person so furnish- ing such plans or data shall fully inform the person for whom such plans or data are furnished, that he, the person furnishing such plans, is not a certificated architect ; pro- vided, that nothing in this act shall prevent the employment of an architect residing out of the State of California to pre- pare plans and specifications for buildings or other structures within the state, conditioned he shall present satisfactory evidence to the board of the district in which the structure is to be erected that he is a competent architect, when such board shall issue to such architect a temporary certificate for such employment, upon the payment of a fee of five dollars. Architects' certificates issued in accordance with the pro- visions of this act shall remain in full force until revoked for cause, as hereinafter provided for in this act. A certifi- cate may be revoked for dishonest practices, or for gross incompetency in the practice of the profession, which ques- tions shall be determined by the district board of the district in which the person whose certificate is called in question shall reside, or shall be doing business ; and upon a full investigation of the charges by the district board, an oppor- tunity having been given the accused to be heard in his own defense or by counsel ; and upon the verdict of at least four members of the district board, the board may issue its certifi- cate to the secretary of state revoking the certificate of the person accused ; and the secretary of state shall thereupon cancel such certificate. And on the cancellation of such cer- tificate, it shall be the duty of the secretary of the district board to give notice of such cancellation to the county recorder of each county in this state, whereupon the recorder shall mark the certificate recorded in his office "Canceled."

After the expiration of six months the person whose cer- tificate was revoked may have a new certificate issued to him by the secretary of state upon the certificate of the district board by which the certificate was revoked.

Every certificated architect shall have a seal, the impres- sion of which must contain the name of the architect, his place of business, and the words "Certificated architect," with which he may stamp all plans prepared by him.

6. This act shall take effect from and after its passage.

7. Each regularly certificated architect shall pay an annual license fee of five dollars, said fee to be paid to the secretary of the board of the district of which he shall be a resident, and shall be payable in advance on January 1, and shall become delinquent the first day of April, of each year, after which date it shall be delinquent, and the certificate of such architects who shall fail to pay their license fees by April 1 of each year, shall be subject to cancellation by said district board, and notice of such cancellation shall be sent to each county recorder of the State of California and to the secre- tary of state as provided in section 5 of the act to regulate the practice of architecture, approved March 23, 1901, for cancellation of certificates. And the secretary of the said district shall issue a receipt signed by the president and secretary of the district, and under the seal of the district board, to each architect paying said license fee, showing that said certificated architect has paid his annual license fee, which license receipt shall be displayed in a prominent place in the office of said architect.

Professional Practice of Architects

Details of Service to be Rendered

Schedule of Proper Minimum Charges

1. The Architect's professional services consist of the necessary conferences, the preparation of pre- liminary studies, working drawings, specifications, large scale and full size detail drawings; the drafting of forms of proposals and contracts; the issuance of certificates of payment; the keeping of accounts, the general administration of the business and super- vision of the work, for which, except as hereinafter mentioned, the minimum charge, based upon the total cost of the work complete, is six per cent.

2. On residential work, alterations to existing buildings, monuments, furniture, decorative and cabinet work and landscape architecture, it is proper to make a higher charge than above indicated.

3. The Architect is entitled to compensation for articles purchased under his direction, even though not designed by him.

4. Where the Architect is not otherwise retained, consultation fees for professional advice are to be paid in proportion to the importance of the question involved and services rendered.

5. The Architect is to be reimbursed the costs of transportation and living incurred by him and his assistants while traveling in discharge of duties connected with the work, and the costs of the services of heating, ventilating, mechanical, and electrical engineers.

6. The rate of percentage arising from Articles I and 2 hereof, i. e., the basic rate, applies when all of the work is let under one contract. Should the Owner determine to have 'certain portions of the work executed under separate contracts, as the Architect's burden of service, expense and responsi- bility is thereby increased, the rate in connection with such portions of the work is greater (usually by four per cent) than the basic rate. Should the Owner determine to have substantially the entire work executed under separate contracts, then such higher rate applies to the entire work. In any event, however, the basic rate, without increase, applies to contracts for any portions of the work on which the Owner reimburses the engineer's fees to the Architect.

7. If, after a definite scheme has been approved, the Owner makes a decision which, for its proper execution, involves extra services and expense for changes in or additions to the drawings, specifica- tions or other documents; or if a contract be let by cost of labor and materials plus a percentage or fixed sum; or if the Architect be put to labor or expense by delays caused by the Owner or a con- tractor, or by the delinquency or insolvency of either, or as a result of damage by fire, he is to be equitably paid for such extra service and expense.

8. Should the execution of any work designed or specified by the Architect or any part of such work be abandoned or suspended, the Architect is to be paid in accordance with or in proportion to the terms of Article 9 of this Schedule for the service rendered on account of it, up to the time of such abandonment or suspension.

9. Whether the work be executed or whether its execution be suspended or abandoned in part or whole, payments to the Architect on his fee are subject to the provisions of Articles 7 and 8, made as follows:

Upon completion of the preliminary studies, a sum equal to twenty per cent of the basic rate com- puted upon a reasonable estimated cost.

Upon completion of specifications and general working drawings (exclusive of details) a sum suffi- cient to increase payments on the fee to sixty per cent of the rate or rates of commission agreed upon, as influenced by Article 6, computed upon a reasonable cost estimated on such completed specifications and drawings, or if bids have been received, then com- puted upon the lowest bona fide bid or bids.

From time to time during the execution of work and in proportion to the amount of service rendered by the Architect, payments are made until the aggregate °f all payments made on account of the fee under this Article reaches a sum equal to the rate or rates of commission agreed upon as influenced by Article 6, computed upon the final cost of the work.

(OVER)

Payments to the Architect, other than those on his fee, fall due from time to time as his work is done or as costs are incurred.

No deduction is made from the Architect's fee on account of penalty, liquidated damages or other sums withheld from payments to contractors.

10. The Owner is to furnish the Architect with a complete and accurate survey of the building site, giving the grades and lines of streets, pavements and adjoining properties; the rights, restrictions, easements, boundaries and contours of the building site, and full information as to sewer, water, gas and electrical service. The Owner is to pay for borings or test pits and for chemical, mechanical or other tests, when required.

11. The Architect endeavors to guard the Owner against defects and deficiencies in the work of con- tractors, but he does not guarantee the performance of their contracts. The supervision of an architect

is to be distinguished from the continuous personal superintendence to be obtained by the employment of a clerk of the works.

When authorized by the Owner, a clerk of the works, acceptable to both Owner and Architect, is to be engaged by the Architect at a salary satis- factory to the Owner and paid by the Owner, upon presentation of the Architect's monthly certificates.

12. When requested to do so, the Architect makes or procures preliminary estimates on the cost of the work and he endeavors to keep the actual cost of the work as low as may be consistent with the purpose of the building and with proper workmanship and material, but no such estimate can be regarded as other than an approximation.

13. Drawings and specifications, as instruments of service, are the property of the Architect, whether the work for which they are made be executed or not.

The words "the cost of the work," as used in Articles i and 9 hereof, are ordinarily to be interpreted as meaning the total of the contract sums incurred for the execution of the work, not including Architect's and Engineer's fees or the salary of the clerk of the works, but in certain rare cases, e. g., when labor or material is furnished by the Owner below its market cost or when old materials are re-used, the cost of the work is to be interpreted as the cost of all materials and labor necessary to complete the work, as such cost would have been if all materials had been new and if all labor had been fully paid at market prices current when the work was ordered, plus contractor's profits and expenses.

As adopted at the Washington Convention, December 15-17, 1908, and revised in form at the Minneapolis Convention, December 6-8, 1916.
