SUBCONTRACTORS <br />The Contractor shall include the apprentice utilization requirements of this Specification 006800 <br />in all subcontracts executed for the Project, and ensure that all subcontractors working on the <br />Project are notified of the apprentice utilization requirements. The Contractor is responsible for <br />using good faith efforts to meet the apprentice utilization requirements of the Contract, including <br />overall compliance on all contract labor hours worked by subcontractors. <br />4. CHANGES TO THE APPRENTICE UTILIZATION REQUIREMENT <br />4.1 If the Contractor determines during the term of the Contract that it will be unable to meet <br />the apprentice utilization goal, the Contractor must ask the City in writing to modify the <br />goal. The request shall include documentation of the Contractor's affirmative efforts to <br />use apprentices registered with the Washington State Apprenticeship and Training <br />Council (“SAC”), including copies of correspondence between the Contractor and the <br />SAC approved apprentice programs, union locals, FAST Jobs Coalition, and others. <br />4.2 Bases for modification of goal include, but are not limited to: <br />4.2.1 A lack of availability of apprentices; <br />4.2.2 A disproportionately high ratio of material costs to labor hours, which does not <br />make feasible the required minimum levels of apprentice participation; <br />4.2.3 Participating contractors have demonstrated a good faith effort to comply with the <br />requirements of this resolution; or <br />4.2.4 Other criteria deemed appropriate by the City in its sole discretion. <br />4.3 City shall evaluate the request, and if appropriate, a change order shall be prepared by <br />City authorizing modification of the apprentice utilization goal. If City determines that a <br />modification is not justified, City shall communicate the decision in writing to the <br />Contractor.
