PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENT (PLA)

The PLA is applicable to construction work projects/contracts financed by funds authorized pursuant to Proposition A/AA for the renovation, rehabilitation, development and expansion of the nine colleges compromising  the District.

It is the policy of the District that the construction work covered by the PLA shall be contracted exclusively to contractors who agree to execute and be bound to the terms of the PLA for the purpose of such work.   Furthermore, the Unions agree that Contractors may execute and become bound to the PLA for purposes of covering such work, and that no Contractor is or will be required to sign any other agreement with a signatory union as a condition of performing work.

Construction projects funded by Proposition A/AA and subject to the PLA will be limited to construction, renovation or rehabilitation work pursuant to:

1. prime contracts that are funded with at least $225,000 of Proposition A/AA funds; or
2. specialty contracts that are funded with at least $25,000 of Proposition A/AA funds; and
3. in either event with more than 50% of the contract's funds from Proposition A/AA, and all subcontracts flowing from these prime contracts.
