15 <br />Progressive Design Build General Conditions <br /> <br />approved Apprenticeship Training Program(s), with project specific responses confirming <br />there is a lack of availability of Apprentices for this project. <br />2. Demonstrated Disproportionate Ratio of Material/Equipment/Products to Labor <br />Hours. Documentation explaining the bid includes a disproportionate high cost of <br />material/equipment/products to Labor Hours. (E.g., a $2 M estimated contract includes $1 <br />M or more in procurement costs of equipment to be installed.) <br />3. Demonstrated Lack of Necessary Labor Hours. Correspondence from a State- <br />approved Apprentice Training Programs confirming there is not enough time in the <br />project to meet required journey level to apprentice training ratios. <br />4. Demonstrated Lack of Available Approved Programs. Correspondence from <br />State-approved Apprentice Training Programs, confirming there are no programs that <br />train for the scopes included/anticipated on the project. Design-Builder and state <br />programs to submit training program detail needs and details that could be used for <br />future program creation. <br />5. Funding Precedent. Documentation that shows conflicting, more restrictive, or <br />precedent requirements for other training on the Project. Examples include, but are not <br />limited to, Tribal Employment Rights (TERO), Federal Training Hours, or Special Training <br />that affect the ability to use state-registered apprentices. <br />6. Warranty Work. Documentation from Original Equipment Manufacturers, or <br />similar, confirming that work performed must only be completed by certified journey-level <br />installers or risk voiding warranty, or similar. <br />7. Other Effort. The Design-Builder may submit other evidence, documentation, or <br />rationale for not being able to achieve the required Apprentice Utilization that are not <br />covered in the other efforts named. Other efforts will still need to be corroborated by an <br />independent, knowledgeable third-party. <br />Design-Builder may receive a GFE credit for graduated Apprentice hours through the end <br />of the calendar year for all projects worked on as long as the Apprentice remains <br />continuously employed with the same Design-Builder /subcontractor they were working <br />for when they graduated. If an Apprentice graduates during employment on a project of <br />significant duration, they may be counted towards a GFE credit for up to one year after <br />their graduation or until the end of the project (whichever comes first). Determination of <br />whether Contract requirements were met in good faith will be made by subtracting the <br />hours from the journeyman total reported hours for the project and adding them to the <br />apprentice hour total. If the new utilization percentage meets the Contract requirement, <br />the Design-Builder will be reported as meeting the requirement in good faith. <br />If the Design-Builder achieves the required Apprentice Utilization an incentive will be <br />assessed with Final Payment. <br />2.12.7 Approving Good Faith Efforts. The City will review submitted Good Faith Efforts and <br />issue a determination. The City may request additional information, documentation, evidence or <br />similar in order to approve such efforts. A determination by the City is final. The approved Good <br />Faith Efforts will be loaded into the PWIA system by the City. <br />2.12.8 Incentive. An incentive $5,000 will be provided with the Final Payment for Design- <br />Builders who meet the Apprentice Utilization Requirement without a reduction by Good Faith <br />Effort.
