BOARD ORDER revising PLA policy version 2 1
BACKGROUND:
This Board order responds to prior Board direction to (a) incorporate into the County's
PLA policy use of a standard form PLA, and (b) modify the existing policy to clarify that
it is applicable to County projects for which the actual bid cost is $1 million or higher.
Policy Regarding the Use of
Project Labor Agreements
on County Construction Projects
I. Summary and Background
A. Certain large, complex County construction projects involve numerous
contractors and employees in different trades, have critical timelines for
completion, and require a skilled and properly trained workforce to
successfully complete the work in a proper and timely manner. In order to
avoid costly delays and additional expense to the County, it is essential that
construction on such projects proceed without the labor disruptions that
can occur on long-term projects both from external labor relations
problems and from the frictions that often arise when a large number of
contractors and their employees work in proximity to one another on a job
site.
B. In the private sector, project labor agreement have been used for years on
large, complex construction projects to achieve satisfactory performance and
the economic benefits that result from having a guaranteed source of skilled
workers and from avoiding disruptions in work.
C. In the public sector, project labor agreements have been used successfully by
the County and other public entities in Contra Costa County for hospital,
reservoir, wastewater, and other large, complex construction projects. Such
agreements have been a major factor in producing quality construction
work and projects completed on time, within budget, and without labor
strife or disruptions.
D. As a result of the County's successful experience with project labor
agreements, the Board of Supervisors has requested that a uniform policy be
developed to cover the use of such agreements for construction contracts
awarded by the Board. This policy is intended to provide general guidance
for County construction projects, subject to any modifications or
exemptions that may be approved by the Board.
II. Application of Policy
This policy applies to all construction projects with an estimated actual cost of$1 million
or more awarded by the Board of Supervisors.
III. Required Provisions
Unless the Board of Supervisors by majority vote determines otherwise, for construction
projects that are subject to this policy, as a condition of contract award, the successful
bidder (contractor) shall be required to 4-sign a project labor agreement (PLA)
with the Contra Costa Building and Construction Trades Council or other labor
organization(s) or labor union(s) approved by the County. In general, the PLA shall
contain the following ri,•,-.visi nsfollow the follow in forrri.at•
