ATTACHMENTS Shiels Obletz Johnsen Memo City of Seattle Community Workforce Agreement 2 gmem|ometz|Johnsen MEMORANDUM 170: Rachel Bianchi, Communications & Government Relations Manager City of Tukwila FROM: Ken Johnsen ShielSObletz Johnsen DATE: March }3,70l7 SUBJECT: Local Hiring and DBE Participation Local Hiring and DBE Participation The Mayor and City Council have expressed a strong interest in pursuing diverse work force nn the Public Safety Plan projects. DBE participation, apprenticeship utilization and local hiring priority are all objectives the City would like to consider for the projects. Current Polic WHAT DOES TUKWILA DO NOW TO ENCOURAGE DBE PARTICIPATION AND APPRENTICESHIPS? Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs) Currently, Tukwila only actively encourages DBEs when federally grant-funded transportation projects have a pre-determined DBE participation goal. VVSDUT provides DBE goals on a case by case goal depending on the type of project, amount of certain types of work and trades involved, geographic availability of certain categories of DBE firms. The general guidance for this process can be found atthis VVSDOT local agency guideline vvebsite, under Chapter 26DBEs: These WSDOT DBE Guidelines result in DBE conditions of award for construction contracts and quarterly tracking of DBE amounts paid tosubcontractors. Apprenticeships Tukwila City Council approved Resolution No. 1814 on January 21, 2014 requiring guidelines to be presented and approved by City Council. In March 2014, City Council approved Policy 900-07, (attached) 114OSVV11#h Avenue I Suite 5OO1 Portland, 0RQ72O51T5O3.242.00841F5O3.2Q0.S7GQ1oojpdx.nmm Local Hiring and DBE Participation A/urc6/3,20/7 Page 2 and subsequently, PW Staff began including the new Division 1 General Special Provision for Apprentice Utilization (attached) on all qualifying construction contracts over $1M. Options for expanding City Efforts Goals for DBE participation and apprenticeship participation have been used in contracting by public agencies in this region for over 2Oyears. Many contractors, including most contractors with GC/CM experience are familiar with setting goals and effectively pursing the accomplishment of the goals. Experience in this area is often used as selection criterion in hiring the 6[/[K4. Most experienced G[/[K4 contractors have Diversity Managers who focus on the diversity elements of their outreach and work. In recent years a new tool has been developed to pursue the priority hiring of workers in specific target areas. The City nfSeattle has been put in place a "Community Workforce Agreement" (CVVA) program for use in all City projects over $5 million. A copy of this Agreement is attached. Beyond the DBE and apprenticeship elements, the CVVA includes the targeted hiring of workers from distressed areas with high unemployment and low incomes (economically distressed areas\. For the Public Safety Plan Projects, the City has two general approaches for pursuing its DBE/apprenticeship/workforce objectives: Option 1: Require the building contractors on the projects to work under a formal community workforce agreement similar to that in place in Seattle. The framework for such an agreement is established. Working under that framework will require that Tukwila hire dedicated staff to manage all of the elements included in the CVVA. In addition, not all contractors, large and small are used to contracting under this type ofagreement. Some may choose not to bid on the projects givenihe[VVA requirement. Option 2: Make DBE/apprenticeship/workforce experience and performance an important selection criterion in the selection of contractors for the Public Safety Plan projects. The contractor, City staff and outreach consultants will work together to effectively pursue the workforce DBE/apprenticeship/workforce hiring goals in a way specifically tailored to the City of Tukwi|a's objectives. It is important to note that the geographic area for the program will need to go beyond the City limits. The number ofcertified DBE firms and qualified workers in Tukwila will require that the program goals extend beyond the City limits, much like the El Centro de La Plaza project, which had the catchment area as the greater King County limits. The selected contractor can hold orientation meetings for K4BE/VV8E subcontractors, reaching out to the local ones through trade associations. Subsequent meetings to educate the subcontractors on how tofill out forms, bids and audit appropriate paperwork for the public works will be necessary aswell. There are advantages and disadvantages to these two general options. We would like to discuss this subject with the Council committees before we target one of these approaches. ~" � CITY OF SEATTLE City Purchasing and Contracting Services F.MpTat-6111TIM WITH Seattle Building and Construction Trades Council and the Northwest National Construction Alliance 11 COMMUNITY WORKFORCE AGREEMENT City ofSaofthy ...................................................... 3 PURPOSE-------------------------------------------3 ARTICLE | SCOPE C}F AGREEMENT ...................................................................................... 5 ARTICLE U- PROJECT CONDITIONS ...................................................................................... 8 ART/CLEU| - VVAGE RATES AND FRINGE BENEFITS .......................................... ................. 7 ARTICLE |V- HOURS [>F WORK, OVERTIME AND SHIFTS ................................................... 8 ARTICLE V- UNION RECOGNITION ....................................................................................... 1O ARTICLE V1- MANAGEMENT'S RIGHTS ................................................................................ 11 ARTICLE VII - WORK STOPPAGES AND LOCKOUTS ............................................................ 12 ARTICLE VIII - DISPUTES AND GRIEVANCES ....................................................................... 13 ARTICLE IX- JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES ............................................................................ 4 ARTICLE X- SUBCONTRACTING ...................... .................................................................... 5 ARTICLE X|- CORE WORKERS ........................... .................................................... 1O ARTICLE JO|- EMPLOYMENT DIVERSITY .............................................................................. 10 ART|CLXU|- APPRENTICESHIP UTILIZATION .................................................. ................... 7 ARTICLE }{K/- VETERAN EMPLOYMENT .............................................................................. 18 ARTICLE XV- PREFERRED ENTRY ....................................................................................... 18 ARTICLEXV|- TERM ............................................................................................................... 19 ATTACHMENTA— LETTER OF ASSENT ............... ................................................................ 25 ATTACHMENT B— PRIORITY ZIP CODES .................................................................. 2O ATTACHMENT C— CEMENT MASONS & PLASTERERS LOCAL 528K8[)U ...................... 27 ATTACHMENT [}— PRE-JOB PACKAGE AND WAIVER ................................................. 28 ATTACHMENT E— ARTICLE X| CLARIFICATION LETTER ............................................. 30 Z � � COMMUNITY WORKFORCE AGREEMENT City of Seattle This Community Workforce Agreement (CWA) is entered into April 8, 2015 by and between the City of Seattle (hereafter referred to as "City"), the Seattle King County Building and Construction Trades Council, and Northwest National Construction Alliance 11 acting on their own behalf and on behalf of their respective affiliates and members whose names are subscribed hereto and who have, through their duly authorized officers (hereafter referred to collectively as "Unions") executed this Agreement. The City and Unions are the signatory parties to this Agreement. All construction contractors and subcontractors of whatever tier engaged in construction work for projects that are subject to this Agreement, shall sign a letter of assent (see Attachment A) and are bound by this Agreement as a condition of performing work on the project. Such Contractors shall be hereafter referred to as "Contractors." When the Agreement refers to only the prime contractor, the term "Prime Contractor' will be used alone, which includes primes that serve as a GC/CM, a design-builder, a general or a prime. This CWA meets the intent and obligations set forth in Seattle Municipal Code (SMC) Chapter 20.37, which directs a priority hire program and an agreement executed between the Director and Labor Unions that represent workers who typically perform on City public works projects. SMC refers to that as a Project Labor Agreement; for consistency with other regional agreements of a similar nature, this agreement is termed and referred to throughout this agreement as a Community Workforce Agreement (CWA). This CWA covers every City of Seattle administered public works project estimated to cost $5 million dollars or more at time of bid when including any contingency budget, except when a project is exempted by the Director of City Purchasing and Contracting Services for the Department of Finance and Administrative Services (hereinafter referred to as "Director') under conditions established by SMC 20.37. Such projects are hereafter referred to as "Covered Projects." The parties to this Community Workforce Agreement, and Contractors who assent to work under this CWA, acknowledge that social equity, workforce diversity, development of local workers for construction careers as well as the timely completion of projects without delay, with skilled workers and agreed-upon procedures, is of benefit to the City. Public Works projects are important to the residents of Seattle and protect critical City infrastructure. This CWA enhances cooperative efforts towards those principles. This CWA is intended to establish a spirit of harmony, peace, and stability between labor and management, to support timely construction of public works projects. VA Timely construction of projects requires substantial numbers of workers from construction and supporting crafts possessing skills and qualifications vital to its completion. This CWA supports training and dispatch of local craft workers to construct Covered Projects. This CWA seeks to stabilize wages, hours and working conditions for craft workers, to ensure workers on Covered Projects have the same working conditions, and encourages close cooperation between the City, Unions and Contractors, for a satisfactory, continuous and harmonious relationship between all involved on these projects. The parties, and Contractors who assent to this CWA, agree to abide by the terms and conditions in this CWA. This CWA establishes effective and binding methods for settlement of misunderstandings, disputes or grievances that may arise related to labor relations on a Covered Project. Such issues will follow the appropriate procedures described by this CWA in ARTICLE VIII (Disputes and Grievances) and ARTICLE IX (Jurisdictional Disputes). Unions agree to not engage in any strike, slow-down, or interruption or other disruption or interference with the work covered by this CWA. Contractors agree to not engage in any lockout. This CWA supports SIVIC 20.42, to promote and ensure access for woman and people of color to meaningful work on City public works projects. This CWA also supports all Contractor efforts and obligations to utilize women- and minority-owned firms, as established under the public works project contract between the City and the Contractor. Nothing in this CWA shall minimize or relieve the Contractor from such contractual obligations. This CWA supports development of a skilled construction workforce. This CWA supports hire of pre-apprentice graduates and apprentices in Washington State Apprenticeship and Training Council (WSATC) registered training programs, particularly women, people of color and other individuals facing significant employment barriers. SIVIC Chapter 20.38 requires Prime Contractors to ensure apprentices perform the rate of utilization that is directed in the City Public Works contract for each project. Such required utilization shall never be less than 15% and will not exceed 20% of all craft project labor hours. The Prime Contractors shall also ensure that they attain the required placement for pre-apprenticeship program graduates (from qualified Apprenticeship and Pre-Apprentice programs as defined within this CWA). The local region has economically distressed areas with high unemployment and low incomes, as defined in SIVIC 20.37. This CWA instructs dispatch of workers from such economically distressed ZIP codes (Attachment B) in a manner that will achieve the requirements established by the City within each project contract, for the share of hours that will be performed by workers from such distressed areas. 4 Ell This CWA seeks to support dispatch of workers to achieve the aspirational goals for hire of women and people of color, as established by the City within the contract for each Covered Project. ARTICLE I SCOPE OF AGREEMENT Section 1. This CWA applies and is limited to the recognized and accepted historical definition of public works under the direction of and performed by Contractors of every tier. Public works, also called project work, shall include site preparation and dedicated off site work. All City of Seattle administered public works projects with a project construction budget plus contingency of $5 million and over at the time of bid shall be covered by this CWA, except when exempted by the Director of City Purchasing and Contracting Services (hereafter referred to as "Director") in accordance with Seattle Municipal Code Chapter 20.37. Contractors of every tier who perform project work, must agree to accept and be bound by all CWA terms and conditions, and sign a Letter of Assent (Attachment A) before commencing work. The Prime Contractor shall assure all sub-tier contractors who perform project work will comply with this CWA. If the CWA is silent on any issue, the local Collective Bargaining Agreement(s) that are currently in force at the time such issue emerges shall prevail; where there is a conflict, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall supersede and override terms and conditions of any and all other national, area, or local collective bargaining agreements, except for all work performed under the NTL Articles of Agreement, the National Stack/Chimney Agreement, the National Cooling Tower Agreement, all instrument calibration work and loop checking shall be performed under the terms of the UA/IBEW Joint National Agreement for Instrument and Control Systems Technicians, and the National Agreement of the International Union of Elevator Constructors, with the exception of ARTICLE VII (Work Stoppages and Lockouts), ARTICLE Vill (Disputes and Grievances), and ARTICLE IX (Jurisdictional Disputes), which shall apply to such work on Covered Projects. This is a self-contained, stand-alone Agreement in that Contractors are not obligated to sign any other local, area, or national agreement. This agreement contains Attachments which may be updated from time to time. Updates to Attachment A (Letter of Assent) and Attachment C (Pre-Job Package and Pre-Job Waiver Forms) shall be reviewed and mutually agreed upon by the Joint Administrative Committee. The City has the sole discretion to update Attachment B (Priority ZIP code list). Section 2. Nothing herein shall prohibit, restrict or interfere with any operation, work, or function that may occur at project sites or associated with Covered Projects. Section 3. This CWA is binding on the signatory parties hereto and Contractors who sign a letter of assent; it does not apply to their parents, affiliates or subsidiaries. Section 4. The City has the absolute right to award responsive and responsible bidders for project contracts without reference to the existence of any agreements between such bidder and any party to this Agreement; provided that such bidder is willing, ready and able to sign a letter of assent to comply with this Agreement, should the bidder be designated the successful bidder. Section 5. Any craft or trade identified in RCW Chapter 39.12 (Prevailing Wages) will be subject to the CWA. Section 6. This CWA does not apply to City workers and nothing herein shall prohibit or restrict City workers from performing project work. Once work or portions of work on the Covered Projects is completed and accepted by the City, the Agreement will have no further force or effect on such work, except when the Contractors are directed by the Prime Contractor or the City to engage in repairs, modifications, check-out, and written warranty by the manufacturer. Section 7. The City, at its sole option, may terminate, change, delay and/or suspend any or all portions of the City's contract on a specific Covered Project. Section 8. The liability of any Contractor and the liability of the separate unions under this Agreement shall be several and not joint. The Unions agree this Agreement does not have the effect of creating any joint employer status between or among the City and any Contractor. ARTICLE 11 PROJECT CONDITIONS Section 1. Workers shall be at their place of work at the designated starting time and shall remain during working hours until their designated quitting time. As practicable given City contract requirements for the project, parking will be available to workers within a three (3) block radius of the project, at a location designated by the Prime Contractor. If the City determines dedicated parking is not possible, then the Prime Contractor will provide transportation to and from a designated parking location that the Prime Contractor provides, and the project worksite; in such situations, workers shall leave their place of work 15 minutes before end of shift for travel. Transportation to such a designated parking location shall be available to the workers throughout each scheduled work day. In lieu of compensated time for travel to designated parking, the Prime Contractor may elect to pay each worker for their parking costs, at an amount negotiated between the Seattle Building and Construction Trades Council and the Prime Contractor. 10 Section 2. In accordance with the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act as amended; the provisions of the Washington Industrial Safety and Health Act (WISHA), as amended; the requirements of Title 296 WAC, Department of Labor and Industries, this CWA, as well as the applicable City contract, it shall be the exclusive responsibility of the Contractor to ensure the safety and health of its workers and worker compliance with any and all such safety rules mentioned above and as otherwise established by the Contractor or the City through any additional instruction. Contractors will provide a copy of the Contractor's safety rules at the pre job conference. The Contractor is responsible for providing and maintaining personal protective equipment (PPE) per WAC 296, and the expectation for appropriate replacements schedules of such PPE may also be subject to pre job discussion by the Union with the Contractor. Safety rules shall be posted at the job site and shall be uniformly enforced. Section 3. Should a Contractor seek to change any safety rule during the course of a project, such proposed changes shall be discussed at Joint Administrative Committee meetings prior to implementation. ARTICLE III WAGE RATES AND FRINGE BENEFITS Section 1. Contractors of every tier shall adhere to the applicable Federal and/or State prevailing wage rates for all craft workers, in effect at the time each Covered Project is bid. If both Federal and State prevailing wage requirements apply, the higher wage rate will prevail. Each September, Contractors of every tier shall incorporate all increases to such wage and benefits rates that are announced by the State or Federal government, as applicable, for the duration of each Covered Project. Federal updates to Davis Bacon wages will not be incorporated and updated until the annual September adjustment. Such wage increases shall be made effective the first full payroll period following the effective date. Wages shall be paid weekly on an established payday before quitting time. Workers who quit shall be paid on the next regular pay day by mail to their last known address unless such workers give adequate notice to do otherwise. Section 2. The workweek for payroll purposes will begin with the first day shift on Monday morning and end on the following Monday morning (the workweek for any particular project may be modified by mutual consent). The Contractor will have the following options of making payment at the election of the employee in writing at the time of hire or with ten (10) business days' notice of a change: 1) negotiable check by a local bank, paid prior to quitting time at the job site; 2) direct deposit, into worker's bank account; or 3) by mail. If paid by mail, the check shall be postmarked no later than two (2) business days prior to the established payday. Section 3. The Contractor will furnish appropriate trust documents and signed letters of assent, to the Union that is covering the funds into which contributions shall be made. The Contractor will contribute to, and hereby becomes party to and is bound by bona 11 fide pension, vacation, health and welfare, apprenticeship and training funds covering workers under this Agreement. Section 4. If contribution payments for hours worked each month as defined above are not received by the Health and Welfare Fund office or Pension Fund office within the date prescribed by the appropriate trust funds, the Fund will make every effort to resolve the delinquency with the Contractor and will notify the Contractor, Prime Contractor (if different) and the City of such delinquency with all documentary evidence of the delinquency endorsed by the Fund.

A Local Union complying with this obligation shall not be liable for unauthorized acts of employees it represents. The failure of the Contractor to exercise its right in any instance shall not be deemed a waiver of its right in any other instance. ARTICLE VIII DISPUTES AND GRIEVANCES Section 1. This CWA promotes close cooperation between management and labor. Each Union will assign a representative to ensure Covered Projects are completed economically, efficiently, continuously, and without interruptions, delays, or work stoppages. Section 2. The Contractors, Unions, and workers, collectively and individually, realize the importance to all parties to maintain continuous and uninterrupted performance of project work and agree to resolve disputes under the grievance arbitration provisions herein. Section 3. Any dispute on a Covered Project that is specific to labor relationships (other than jurisdictional disputes) shall be considered a grievance and subject to resolution under the following. The Prime Contractor and City shall be given copies of all notices and invited to participate in any meetings or proceedings. Failure of the grieving party to adhere to the time limits established renders the grievance null and void. The time limits established may be extended by written mutual consent of the parties at the step where the extension is agreed. Step 1. If a worker, Contractor or Union subject to this CWA feels aggrieved by a labor issue, the worker may give notice to their Union representative. Within ten (110) business days after becoming aware of the grievance, the Union representative (which may be the business agent or the Steward) shall give verbal or written notice to the Contractors worksite representative. The notice shall describe the violation(s) and provision violated. The Union representative and Contractor's work-site representative shall meet or discuss the dispute within 3 business days after such notice. Each party may keep meeting minutes and send a copy to the other. If the discussion does not resolve the issue, either party may escalate the grievance to Step 2. Step 2. To escalate the grievance into Step 2, the Union may, within two (2) business days after the discussion, send a written notice to the Contractor setting forth the alleged violation(s), providing a description, the date on which the violation(s) provoking the grievance occurred, and the provisions of the CWA that are alleged to have been violated. The Union will send a copy to the City. 13 17 The local Business Manager and/or their designee and the Prime Contractor and sub-tier Contractor (if any), shall meet within seven (7) business days after the written notice was delivered to the Contractor, to arrive at a satisfactory agreement. The meeting will be scheduled to also include a designee of the Director on behalf of the City. The City will take meeting minutes and share with the Prime Contractor, sub-tier Contractor (if applicable), and the Union as soon as practicable after the meeting, which is intended to be within two (2) business days. Step 3. (a) If the grievance has not been resolved within five business days under Step 2, either party may request that the grievance be submitted to an Arbitrator mutually agreed upon by them. The Contractor and the involved Union shall attempt mutually to select an arbitrator, but if they cannot do so, they shall request the American Arbitration Association to provide them with a list of arbitrators from which the Arbitrator shall be selected. The rules of the American Arbitration Association shall govern the conduct of the arbitration hearing. The decision of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding on all parties. The fee and expenses of such Arbitration shall be borne equally by the Contractor and the involved Local Union(s). (b) The Arbitrator shall have the authority to decide only issues presented to him or her, and he or she shall not have authority to change, amend, add to or detract from this Agreement. ARTICLE IX JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES Section 1. The assignment of work will be solely the responsibility of the Contractor performing the work involved; such work assignments will be under the Plan for the Settlement of Jurisdictional Disputes in the Construction Industry (the "Plan") or any successor Plan. Section 2. All jurisdictional disputes on a Covered Project, between or among Building and Construction Trades Unions and Contractors of any tier, shall be settled and adjusted according to the present Plan established by the Building and Construction Trades Department or any other plan or method of procedure that may be adopted by the Building and Construction Trades Department. Decisions rendered shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Contractors and Unions parties to this Agreement. Section 3. All jurisdictional disputes shall be resolved without the occurrence of any strike, work stoppage, or slow-down of any nature and the Contractor's assignment shall be adhered to until the dispute is resolved. Individuals violating this section shall be subject to immediate discharge. W. 14 Section 4. Each Contractor will conduct a pre-job conference with the appropriate Building and Construction Trades Council 2 weeks prior to commencing work. The Prime Contractor and the City will be advised in advance of all such conferences and may participate if they wish. After attending a pre-job conference once, Contractors may submit a waiver request to the City, waiving the requirement to attend future pre-job meetings when they are performing the same scope of work (see Pre-job Package and Pre-Job Waiver forms in Attachment C). The City and Unions will mutually agree upon granting any such waivers. Should an emergency make it impracticable for a Contractor to attend a pre job two weeks prior to placement, the Contractor may give less than two weeks' notice and request a pre-job meeting by contacting the City. ARTICLE X SUBCONTRACTING Section 1. Every Contractor of any tier agrees that they will not subcontract any Covered Project work except to a person, firm or corporation who has signed a letter of assent. Any Contractor working on the Project shall, as a condition to working on said Project, perform all work exclusively under this Agreement. Section 2. If a Union that traditionally represents construction workers in the geographic area of the Covered Project chooses not to become signatory to this Agreement, the Contractor and signatory Unions shall utilize one or both of the following options to ensure that work may be claimed by the non-signatory Union ("claimed work") so the work is completed without disrupting the Project: (a) The signatory Unions will provide the Prime Contractor and all other Contractors who assent to this Agreement with the appropriate workforce to perform the claimed work. (b) The Prime Contractor may utilize any Contractor to perform claimed work except that if such Contractor is party to an agreement with the non-signatory Union, such Union must agree in writing to abide by ARTICLE IX (Jurisdictional Disputes) for the contractor to be awarded work under this Agreement. Such Contractor may utilize its existing workforce and wage and benefit package. Such Contractors shall be required to agree in writing to be bound to and abide by this Article, ARTICLE VII (Work Stoppages and Lockouts), and ARTICLE IX (Jurisdictional Disputes). No other provision shall apply to such contractors unless required by the Contractor. Section 3. The Prime Contractor, City and the Unions commit to provide outreach, and train, mentor and support woman and minority contractors on any Covered Project. The City, Prime Contractor and Unions also will provide training and assistance about 15 19 working under the CWA to any interested contractor and those contractors who may wish to bid on such work. Section 4. Any Contractor conducting a bid process for work to be performed for a Covered Project, shall notify all bidders of the requirement to comply with the terms and conditions of this CWA. Section 5. If a Contractor of any tier subcontracts any work covered by this Agreement, such subcontractors of all tiers, shall sign letter of assent to this CWA, prior to beginning work on the Project. ARTICLE XI CORE WORKERS Section 1. The parties agree that non-signatory contractors of any tier often have core workers, also referred to as core employees, that they use commonly on their work and who contribute to the efficiency and competitiveness of those non-signatory contractors. The parties seek to remove barriers for non-signatory Contractors so they can compete effectively on projects covered by the CWA without unnecessarily displacing their own workers to do so. The non-signatory contractor may bring as many as five core workers onto the Covered Project for each contract accordingly. Section 2. Core Workers are those that have worked on the Contractor' payroll a minimum of one thousand five hundred (1500) hours within the craft classification over the last two year period from the date of dispatch to the Covered Project and have also been on the Contractors active payroll for at least sixty (60) out of the ninety (90) calendar days prior to the execution of the contract for the affected Contractor. All Core Workers shall meet the minimum journey level qualifications of the craft they are performing, and shall hold all required licenses and certifications for the work of their craft. Section 3. The Contractor shall provide detailed documentation at the pre-job conference identifying their Core Workers on the project and their scope of work and submit certified payroll data to verify that the worker meets the required definition, redacted as appropriate. The City shall monitor Contractor compliance to this Core Worker definition. ARTICLE XII EMPLOYMENT DIVERSITY Section 1. The Director will set a requirement for each project that directs the Prime Contractor to utilize workers from economically distressed ZIP codes ("priority workers") 16 20 for a specified share of total hours worked on the project by apprentices and journey- level workers. Workers that qualify towards those requirements shall be called "Priority Workers." Section 2. Unions shall first dispatch Priority Workers, and shall continue to prioritize the dispatch of such workers even after the required percentages are stabilized and suggest the Prime Contractor will achieve the requirements. The Union shall prioritize dispatch of Priority Workers who are residents of Seattle ZIP codes first, and then dispatch Priority Workers from ZIP codes in King County, and then Priority Workers from any other economically distressed ZIP code (Attachment B). Labor hours performed by workers living outside of Washington will be excluded from priority worker calculations that the City performs when calculating whether required percentages of total Priority Worker hours were achieved. The Prime Contractor may receive a credit of up to 10% of the hours performed by Priority Workers, if they hire workers from the Priority ZIP codes who perform non- manual work and continue to employ said workers in these positions for the duration of the Contractor's work on the Covered Project. Such substitutes must be approved by the Director. The Union will dispatch women and people of color in a manner that best supports the aspirational goals for their utilization as agreed upon within the contract for the Covered Project. ARTICLE XIII APPRENTICESHIP UTILIZATION Section 1. The parties and assenting Contractors agree to utilize apprentices from Washington State Apprenticeship Training Council (WSATC) programs for total hours established within the City contract for the Covered Project for no less than 15% and no more than 20% of total project hours on each project with the exact requirement set by the Director. The Prime Contractor shall provide a copy of their apprenticeship utilization plan upon request by the JAC. The Prime Contractors apprenticeship utilization plan will be reviewed by the JAC and appropriate efforts shall be taken to increase utilization. Section 2. The parties and assenting Contractors agree to hire and facilitate utilization of those WSATC apprentices on Covered Projects and to facilitate the participation of people of color, women and persons from economically distressed areas. The Director will establish a goal for labor hours performed by female apprentices and people of color who are apprentices, for each project and may substitute other efforts to meet the intent. The apprenticeship utilization plan provided by the Prime Contractor at the JAC shall describe how the Prime Contractor will achieve the goals for utilization of apprentices who are people of color and women. 17 21 ARTICLE XIV VETERAN EMPLOYMENT Section 1. This CWA desires to facilitate the entry into the building and construction trades of veterans interested in careers in the building and construction industry. The Contractors and Unions agree to utilize the services of the Center for Military Recruitment, Assessment and Veterans Employment ("Center"), the Center's "Helmets to Hardhats" program, and other appropriate veteran programs, to serve as resources for preliminary orientation, assessment of construction aptitude, referral to WSATC registered apprenticeship programs or hiring halls, counseling and mentoring, support network, employment opportunities and other needs as identified by the parties. Section 2. The Unions, Contractors and City Job and Training Coordinator agree to coordinate with the Center and other appropriate veteran referral sources, to maintain an integrated database of veterans interested in working on Covered Projects, and of apprenticeship and employment opportunities for Covered Projects. To the extent permitted by law, the Unions will give credit to such veterans for bona fide, provable past experience. Section 3. This agreement will include Helmets to Hard Hats qualified applicants and other qualified veteran applicants from within the economically distressed ZIP codes as defined by the City, as part of the Priority Worker hours that the contract shall require the Prime Contractor to achieve for the Covered Project. ARTICLE XV PREFERRED ENTRY Section 1. The parties seek to construct and expand pathways to good jobs and lifetime careers for Priority Workers, women and people of color, through collaborative workforce development systems that also likely includes community-based training providers and WSATC registered apprenticeship programs. This facilitates a workforce reflective of the diversity and needs of Seattle and the local region, supporting goals of workforce inclusiveness. Section 2. This CWA establishes a Preferred Entry program that will identify individuals, especially women, people of color, and those from economically distressed ZIP codes as defined by the City, who meet entry standards for WSTAC apprenticeship programs that allow qualified preferred entry applicants into their programs. Preferred Entry candidates shall be placed with Contractors working on Covered Projects, subject to an interview if requested by the Contractor. Selected Preferred Entry candidates who are not already first year apprentices shall become first period apprentices. 18 22 To give preferred entry apprentices an opportunity to become established in their apprenticeship training, Contractors must employ Preferred Entry candidates for 700 hours, in order to count that candidate toward the Preferred Entry requirement. The Director may reduce the number of required hours to a minimum of 350 hours on Covered Projects that have insufficient total apprentice hours to support placements of a 700 hour duration. Section 3. The Prime Contractor shall ensure one (1) of each five (5) apprentices on the Covered Project is from a recognized Pre-Apprenticeship program. Such programs include the Apprenticeship and Non-Traditional Employment Program for Women (ANEW), YouthBuild, Helmets to Hard Hats or other mutually agreed-upon programs that serve people living in economically distressed ZIP codes, people of color, women and/or veterans. The list of such programs may be updated by mutual agreement between the City and the Seattle Building and Construction Trades Council. Section 4. The Unions and Prime Contractor agree to ensure hiring of Preferred Entry apprentices during the early start of work on the Covered Projects. The City, Unions and Contractors recognize Preferred Entry Apprentices that are still completing their first 1500 hours of employment. Section 5. If a preferred entry apprentice leaves, Contractors will replace that apprentice with another from the preferred entry program. Section 6. The hours worked by eligible Preferred Entry qualified applicants hired from such distressed economic ZIP codes will count towards accomplishment of the Priority Worker requirements. Section 7. Identification and selection of qualified applicants shall include the Contractor(s), where candidates have been proposed by Contractors and the individual apprenticeship program's designated representative. The final selection decision will be the responsibility of the Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee (JATC). ARTICLE XVI TERM Section 1. This agreement shall commence upon execution by all parties and shall continue in full force for a period of five years. The parties may mutually agree to amendments or modifications of this agreement. Section 2. The agreement shall continue in full force and effect for each Covered Project throughout the duration of each project and until the last of the Covered Projects concludes. Either party desiring to extend this agreement beyond the intended five year term, shall make such intention known to the other party by written notice as soon as practical, which may be as early as six months prior to the otherwise effective expiration date for this agreement. 19 23 ARTICLE XVII GENERAL PROVISIONS Section 1.

W. �'q,-attle Building Trades City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Public Safety Committee FROM: Rachel Bianchi, Communications and Government Relations Manager CC: Mayor Ekberg DATE: March 16, 2017 SUBJECT: Combatting Misinformation ISSUE For the past few years, "Safewise" has released a report wrongly indicating that Tukwila is one of the "most dangerous cities" in the United States. In anticipation of another such designation, the City is working with Allison + Partners to develop a strategy to refute the report. BACKGROUND After additional research on "Safewise" we determined that it is not an actual company but linked to a marketing firm called Clearlink Technologies, LLC, which has a maxim of "We help brands create customers." Staff had discussions with people working in public affairs, public relations and crisis management on the situation and it was suggested that we develop an integrated approach to combat the misinformation disseminated annually by "Safewise." Due to work load, we have engaged with Allison + Partners' Crisis Communications Team to assist in developing a package that we can use with local media to disprove the "Safewise" report. Included in this effort will also be media training for elected officials. The budget for this effort will not exceed $10,000 and is coming from existing Mayor's Office resources. RECOMMENDATION The discussion at Committee is for information only, though Councilmembers; will be invited to participate in a media training on the issue so that everyone is well-versed in the messaging being developed. ATTACHMENTS Allison + Partners memo and scope of work We 50 February 7,2017 To: Rachel Bianchi, City ofTukwila From: Allison+Partners Subject: Combatting Tukwila's label as one of the "Most Dangerous Cities" Thank you for the opportunity to provide the City of Tukwila our initial recommendation based on our understanding of the situation the City is currently facing and an overview of how AUi5On+Partn2r3 approaches these challenges. We'd vvel[Onle the opportunity to walk you through our approach and determine how we can best assist the City of Tukwila. TFIESA-UA-riON For the last several years, 3 report issued by Saf8VVise has put Tukwila on "The 30 Most Dangerous Cities in America" and in 2016, the report had Tukwila topping the list. However, this depiction of Tukwila not only doesn't tell the complete story, it paints a dire and inaccurate picture of crime in the city. |n reviewing past coverage, some outlets include, aoa footnote, that the FBI cautions against using Uniform Crime Reporting Statistics to rank municipalities noting that "incomplete analyses have Often created misleading perceptions which adversely affect geographic entities and their residents."' in fact, the F0 notes that "crime is 8 5OCiOlOgiC8l phenomenon influenced by a variety of factors, the FN discourages ranking the agencies and using the data asa measurement of law enforcement effectiveness. " z While on the surface, SafrWise bills itself aS "your source for Home Security and Safety advice," it i4 according to its Vvvn privacy policy, a part of[|earUnk Technologies, LLC, o wholly owned subsidiary of Sykes Enterprises, |nc,d/b/avvvvvv.saf8vvise.corn.a This |inktoOearUnkisimportant to note, asC|ear|ink a marketing agency's maxim is "We help brands create custonners. "' The reports are creating a sense of fear and a marketplace for home security systems. In reviewing the media coverage from the release of previous years' reports, some of the details in the report were refuted by the City, but were Often lost under the sensationalized headlines. It's these headlines that are helping drive the misperception of Tukwila. It could be argued that these misperceptions are creating sales for Saf2VVise security systems. While many Ofthe details of the report have been refuted and additional positive information, such as the 56 percent z � ^ reduction in residential burglaries and the City reaching 15-year low in robberies, has been included, the headlines are still taking center stage. OUR RECOMMENDATION It is our recommendation that the City of Tukwila take a more proactive approach. It i5 1O be expected that this report will once again be released, and will once again use incomplete analysis tn generate sensational headlines. Following are our recommended next steps: • Work with City staff to develop a complete story that not only refutes the claims of the Saf2VVi58 report, but goes one Step further to tell the Story ofTukvxi|8'5 efforts and successes in reducing crime. ` • Create a "fact pack" that details the City's gains and provides insight into the data being used bySaf8VViSe. • Work to coordinate interviews and/or information sessions with elected officials, |avv enforcement, etc. to fully tell Tukvvi|a'5 story. The exact approach would be determined after conducting additional due diligence, but would focus Ongetting Tukvvi|a's story out ahead of the report. • Prepare materials and approach to refute the misinformation that we'd expect based on past experience to be included in the report. This would likely include developing a holding statement, talking points with key data points and a proactive outreach to reporters with the release of the report. • Conduct media training for key spokespersons, including but not limited to the Mayor, Chief of Police, Cnundlnnenobers and other key staff JS appropriate, on hOvv to conduct effective print and broadcast interviews to get your key messages pulled through into media coverage.
