a.Bonded for twice the contract amount
b.A member of a labor union
c.Registered with the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) as a public works contractor

Explanation
Labor Code §1725.5 requires contractors and subcontractors to register with the DIR (and pay the annual fee) to bid on or be listed on a bid proposal for, and to be awarded or perform, public works subject to prevailing wage.
