6109
. (a) A public entity, as defined in Section 1100, may not
permit a contractor or subcontractor who is ineligible to bid or work
on, or be awarded, a public works project pursuant to Section 1777.1
or 1777.7 of the Labor Code to bid on, be awarded, or perform work
as a subcontractor on, a public works project. Every public works
project shall contain a provision prohibiting a contractor from
performing work on a public works project with a subcontractor who is
ineligible to perform work on the public works project pursuant to
Section 1777.1 or 1777.7 of the Labor Code.
(b) Any contract on a public works project entered into between a
contractor and a debarred subcontractor is void as a matter of law. A
debarred subcontractor may not receive any public money for
performing work as a subcontractor on a public works contract, and
any public money that may have been paid to a debarred subcontractor
by a contractor on the project shall be returned to the awarding
body. The contractor shall be responsible for the payment of wages to
workers of a debarred subcontractor who has been allowed to work on
the project.
