City of Tukwila Jim Haggerton, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Haggerton Transportation Committee FROM: Kate Kruller, Transportation Chair DATE: December 6, 2013 SUBJECT: Draft Resolution Relating to Apprenticeship Program ISSUE As part of the 2013 Transportation Committee goals, committee members have been exploring the implementation of an apprenticeship utilization goal for Public Works construction contracts. BACKGROUND Committee members have previously expressed support for implementing apprenticeship utilization goals as a way to help ensure a viable workforce in the future. Previous committee discussions have focused on similar programs in the region, and a preliminary draft was reviewed at both the August 27th and October 15th Transportation Committee meetings. DISCUSSION Committee discussion will focus on a revised draft resolution that would establish levels of apprenticeship utilization and direct City Administration to develop guidelines for such a program. RECOMMENDATION Committee direction; potential to Committee of the Whole in January 2014. Attachment: Draft Resolution W: \PW Eng \OTHER \Robin Tischmak \InfoMemo Apprenticeship Program.docx 1 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, PROMOTING THE USE OF APPRENTICES IN PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS OVER $1- MILLION DOLLARS AND DIRECTING THE CITY ADMINISTRATION TO DEVELOP IMPLEMENTING APPRENTICESHIP GUIDELINES. WHEREAS, a highly skilled workforce is essential for enhancing economic growth and the continued prosperity of workers; and WHEREAS, apprenticeship is a proven, highly- effective training model, providing consistent wage progression to family wage careers; and WHEREAS, shortages of skilled construction workers limit job growth and affect our economic development and this "skill gap" problem will continue to grow, due to the large numbers of skilled worker retirements and increased construction activity; and WHEREAS, the responsibility to train the next generation of skilled workers rests with both the public and private sectors; and WHEREAS, the City of Tukwila is committed to working in partnership with labor and business to create a skilled workforce that reflects the diversity of our population and promotes community development; and WHEREAS, recent actions of the Washington State Apprenticeship and Training Council (WSATC) have made apprenticeships more widely available in the construction industry; and WHEREAS, growing participation in apprenticeship programs today will ensure a viable workforce in the construction trade industry tomorrow; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that it would be in the best interests of public health, safety and welfare for the City to implement an apprenticeship utilization goal in qualifying public works construction contracts; W: \Word Processing \Resolutions \Resolution template 4 -10 -13 :bjs Page 1 of 2 2 NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Apprenticeship Utilization Goal. The City of Tukwila shall require good faith efforts from contractors to use WSATC- registered apprentices as follows: A. Levels of apprenticeship utilization shall be: 1. Fifteen percent (15 %) of the total labor hours for the life of the contract, for all qualified City construction contracts over $1- million dollars that are awarded on or after January 1, 2014. The contractor shall provide quarterly reports, as well as a final report, indicating the total labor hours and the apprenticeship hours utilized by the contractor and all subcontractors on the project. 2. These requirements may be modified by the City Administration for a specific project for the following reasons: a. a lack of availability of qualified apprentices; b. a disproportionately high ratio of material costs to labor hours, which does not make feasible the required minimum level of apprentice participation; c. participating contractors have demonstrated a good faith effort to comply with the requirements of this resolution; d. where utilization conflicts with federal requirements. Section 2. Apprenticeship Utilization Guidelines. The City Administration is hereby directed to develop for Council approval apprenticeship utilization guidelines for the purpose of implementing the apprenticeship utilization goal and policy as established in Section 1 herein. PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, at a Regular Meeting thereof this day of , 2014.
