Local Hire Policy: Contractor will be required to provide documentation that the contractor will hire a minimum of twenty-five percent (25%) of staff for any job classification with more than four(4) employees employed whose primary residence, which is not a post office box, is, and has been, within Alameda County within 180 days of the expected date of issuance of the Notice to Proceed for the project. While there has been a remarkable economic expansion in Pleasanton since 2010, rising inequality and displacement adds to the City's affordability crisis and threatens to undermine the region's strong economy. Policies that require the utilization of apprentices and a local construction workforce will, however, help counteract such trends. In tandem with programs currently operational by Local 713 outlined below, such policies will help improve local access to the type of living-wage job the community needs, and also help ensure that the City meets its RHNA targets. Local 713 has implemented many programs that will enable the City to meet the General Plan and Housing Element goals. These programs include a robust Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee, vigorous utilization of apprentices in the City of Pleasanton, healthcare coverage for all members and their families, and innovation within the construction industry. Joint Apprenticeship Training Committees (JATC's), such as the Carpenters Training Committee for Northern California (CTCNC), are a proven method of career training built around a strong partnership between employers,training programs and the government.This tripartite system is financially beneficial not only for the apprentice, but is a major benefit for the employer and the overall economy of the City of Pleasanton. The CTCNC monitors current market conditions and adjusts the workflow of apprentices to meet the needs of the community, heading off any shortage of skilled workers. History has demonstrated that strong utilization of apprentices throughout the private sector helped California builders produce millions of units of housing. CTCNC recruitment strategies include robust diversity and inclusionary outreach programs, such as pre-apprenticeship, with proven results in representative workplaces and strong local economies. It is imperative that our underserved populations have supportive and effective pathways to viable construction careers, while ensuring that employers are able to find and develop the best and brightest talent needed to thrive in a competitive economy. Employer-paid health insurance plans for our members and their families provides preventative services to stay healthy and prevent serious illness. Timely care reduces the fiscal burden for our members and their families, and significantly reduces the utilization of safety-net programs administered by the City of Pleasanton and Alameda County. 3
