Title
RECEIVE AND FILE status update on the Project Labor Agreement and Construction Careers Policy programs through the quarter ending December 2021, including updates on female participation.

Issue
ISSUE

In January 2012, the Board approved the Project Labor Agreement (PLA) with the Los Angeles/Orange Counties Building and Construction Trades Council and the Construction Careers Policy (CCP), with a subsequent renewal in January 2017. The PLA/CCP encourages construction employment and training opportunities for members of economically disadvantaged areas throughout the United States on Metro's construction projects. An added value of the PLA is that work stoppages are prohibited.

In addition, Metro's PLA/CCP provides equitable opportunities for the historically underserved population, including women with high-wage career opportunities in the construction industry.

Background
BACKGROUND

Consistent with the Board approved PLA and CCP (PLA/CCP), prime contractors are required to provide Metro with monthly reports detailing progress towards meeting the targeted worker hiring goals. Additionally, consistent with Metro's Labor Compliance policy and federal Executive Order 11246 (EO 11246), the prime contractors provide Metro with worker utilization data by ethnicity and gender. In accordance with EO 11246, Metro's program-wide goal for female participation in PLA/CCP construction projects is 6.90%.



Discussion

This report provides a status update on the construction contracts covered by the PLA/CCP, including an overview of Diversity and Economic Opportunity Department (DEOD) staff's efforts on the female participation. This report provides an update on the PLA/CCP through the quarter ending December 2021.
