5 ITEM 7.1 MAY 17,2007 INFORMATION ITEM PREPARED BY: NEIL STRUTHERS OF THE SANTA CLARA & SAN BENITO COUNTIES BUILDING & CONSTRUCTION TRADES COUNCIL SUBJECT: CONSTRUCTION CAREER AGREEMENT PROPOSED BY THE SANTA CLARA AND SAN BENITO COUNTIES BUILDING & CONSTRUCTION TRADES COUNCIL Neil Struthers will present information related to a proposal by the Santa Clara & San Benito Counties Building & Construction Trades Council to enter into a Construction Careers Agreement (CCA) with the West Valley-Mission Community College District in relation to WVMCCD construction projects funded by existing bond measures. Background: Many Community Colleges in the region and other School Districts are entering into these agreements (San Jose - Evergreen CCD I Foothill - De Anza CCD I East Side Union High School District I San Mateo County CCD I San Francisco CCD I Chabot-Los Positas CCD) for a variety of reasons, including higher quality bidders, guaranteed enforcement of prevailing wage laws, labor peace, access to apprenticeship opportunities for district students and increased bidder pool. The Building Trades Council is interested in developing a partnership with WVMCCD by tying the District's bond projects to a requirement that all employers participate in a" construction careers program" that would advance District students into careers/jobs within the construction industry by placing selected students into apprenticeship positions with employers doing work for the District. Coordination Mr. Struthers met with Chancellor Arterberry, Mission College President Harriett Robles, and West Valley College President Philip Hartley to have an initial discussion regarding the proposal. 61

8 November 20, 2008 John Hendrickson Chancellor West Valley Mission Community College District Fruitvale A venue Saratoga, CA Dear Chancellor Hendrickson: CHAMBER OF COlv\MERCE On behalf of the San Jose Silicon Valley Chamber of Commerce, I urge you and the West Valley Mission Community College District Board of Trustees to not enter into any Project Labor Agreement (PLA) for the construction work involving Measure H projects. Under the National Labor Relations Act, construction contractors and employees have the right to choose to unionize or not. The vast majority of contractors and their employees - more than 80 percent - have voluntarily opted against unionization. Under PLAs, all contractors and their employees, whether they are unionized or not, are subject to unionization in order to work on a government-funded construction project. This is done by including a union collective bargaining agreement in the public construction project bid specifications. In order to receive a contract with the District, a contractor must sign the agreement and subject its employees to union control. This requirement prevents an open, competitive bidding process. With the estimated cost of your project at $235 million, the more companies that compete, the better the project will turn out in the long run. Under a PLA, qualified non-union contractors who wish to make lower-cost bids and employees who wish to work non-union are locked out of the project. The use of a Project Labor Agreement usually results in cost overruns and higher construction costs for taxpayers. The Cupertino City Council voted down a PLA for its library expansion in 2002, when Public Works Director Ralph Qualls researched its implications and found the proposed PLA would add significant project costs that would impact the extent of improvements and delay the completion date. The library opened in 2004 ahead of schedule and under budget for the benefit of Cupe11ino taxpayers. In most local governments in California, construction is perf01med under fair and open competition with both union and non-union contractors without controversy. Most local govermnents want to maximize the number of capable and responsible bidders. When PLAs are imposed and competition in bidding is reduced, low bids are often 15-20% higher than expected and 25-20% higher than the cost of similar projects in the same area. In these hard economic times, it is more important than ever to use taxpayers' money wisely to keep public projects on time and on budget. We appreciate your consideration of our concerns. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. Sincerely, d JodyH~~ Vice President of Public Policy & Communications cc: Bob Owens, President of the Board Chris Constantin, Trustee Joy Atkins, Trustee Jack Lucas, Trustee Buck Polk, Trustee Chris Stampolis, Trustee Wade Ellis Jr. Trustee 310 South First Street, San Jose, California ph: 408/ fax: 408/ sjchamber.com
