Labor Code §1771.4(a)(2) requires the awarding body, or the prime contractor at its direction, to post job-site notices as prescribed by regulation, and 8 CCR §16451(d) sets out the DIR notice covering the prevailing wage requirement, the duty to keep certified payroll, and where a worker can complain. Cal/OSHA posters are separately required and do not discharge this duty. A licence number belongs on the contractor's vehicles and contracts under B&P §7030.5, not on this notice. The requirement is current, not repealed, and is one of the conditions of DIR monitoring.
