PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENT
Davillier-Sloan Inc./Parsons Constructors, Inc., their successors or assigns (hereinafter
"DSI/PCI" or "Project Contractor"), for and on behalf of themselves and the Port of Oakland,
enter into this Project Labor Agreement (hereinafter the "Agreement") with the Building and
Construction Trades Department, AFL-CIO (hereinafter the "Department"), its affiliated National
and International Unions that become signatory to the Agreement, the Building and Construction
Trades Council of Alameda County and the Local Unions or Councils that become signatory to
the Agreement (collectively referred to as "Unions") The Agreement, once adopted by the Parties
and the Board of Port Commissioners of the Port of Oakland, will cover all construction,
demolition, modification, alteration and repair work covered by the Scope of the Agreement that
is owned and contracted by the Port of Oakland (hereinafter the "Port" or the "Owner").
The Port seeks project stability and the economic savings that flow from the provisions of
the Agreement. And the Port places high priority upon the development of comprehensive
programs for the recruitment, training and employment of historically disadvantaged residents of
the Port's Local Impact Area (LIA, defined as the cities of Alameda, Emeryville, Oakland and
San Leandro), especially from Oakland on the Project. It also seeks to create business
opportunities on the Project for small and disadvantaged companies and contractors in the LIA
business community, especially for those located in Oakland. The Port sought terms and
conditions that advanced those goals and removed obstacles that may have historically limited
the full employment of such local residents or the access of such businesses to the opportunities
available on projects of this kind. The Agreement contains provisions to achieve these important
objectives, and recognizes that when those objectives cannot be met that the Parties will work to
include workers and businesses from the Port's Local Business Area (LBA, defined as Alameda
and Contra Costa counties) as a priority.
For the purposes of the Port’s programs under the Agreement, residency for individuals
shall mean residency for a period of not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date of
dispatch/referral at a place not established or subsidized by a Contractor covered by the
Agreement. Residency for businesses will be established as of the date the Port advertised or
otherwise offered a contract for bid.
The parties to the Agreement understand that if the Port finds the Agreement acceptable,
the Port will include the Agreement in the bid documents, contract specifications and other
contract documents for work covered under the Agreement. Upon award, the prime contractor
and its various subcontractors will become parties to the Agreement. For purposes of covering
such work, the Unions agree that other Contractors may execute the Agreement through
execution of a Letter of Assent binding them and their subcontractors to the Agreement. And,
the Agreement will supersede the Port of Oakland Vision 2000 (1999 Facilities) Project Labor
Agreement for work covered by that agreement that has not been advertised for bid as of the
effective date of this Agreement.
