Who We Are
CIFAC is a non-profit coalition of concerned construction industry associations, contractors and labor unions that works to ensure State and local governments' compliance with the Public Contract Code (PCC)- Competitive bidding provides the public works construction industry with job opportunities
- The public benefits when new public works construction jobs are competitively bid and done by experienced, licensed and bonded contractors.
- Since 1977, CIFAC has been the Force Account and Competitive Bidding Compliance Authority in California.
CIFAC Helps Provide Job Opportunities
CIFAC keeps the playing field level. CIFAC goes after State and local government agencies who want to use their maintenance employees to do work that should be done by experienced contractors and their trained and certified employees. Why do we do this?
- To make sure contractors have an opportunity to bid on new public works jobs
- To increase the number of public works construction jobs, and
- To make sure the public gets the best value for every tax dollar that's spent.
CIFAC protects the public's pocketbook. How would we know if we are getting the best value without competitive bidding? The California Public Contract Code was put together as a matter of good public policy; to set up a fair process and to prevent cronyism.
You can help CIFAC. As you drive to or from your job or any other time and you spot a public agency working on a public road, street or building with its own forces and no contractor, they may be violating the law and taking your jobs. Contact us immediately at 800.755. 3354 or use the investigation form on this site and we'll do the rest. Just be sure to give us a way to contact you a phone number or email address. We keep this information confidential so go ahead.
