Current <br />state law covers all projects above a $2m threshold. This ordinance would expand that beginning <br />on July 1, 2026 to projects above a $1.5m threshold, and dropping to include all projects above a <br />$1.0m threshold on July 1, 2027. State law requires the same, but on a longer timeline ending on <br />7/1/28. <br />City staff communicated with various contracting representatives, labor representatives and staff <br />subject matter experts to draft, review and finalize this proposal. <br />This ordinance includes objective requirements for future bids, ensuring that contractors who do <br />not comply within a two-year retrospective window are not allowed to earn future contracts, <br />based on good-faith efforts. The language related to good faith efforts is the same as the <br />statewide WSDOT apprenticeship requirements. <br />The ordinance includes robust reporting requirements for the number and percentage of <br />apprentices by craft, gender, minorities, and veterans. <br /> <br />Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): <br />Adopt an Ordinance relating to Utilization of Apprentices on Public Works Construction Projects, <br />adding a new section to chapter 3.80 EMC. <br />
