Direct Staff to negotiate with the Santa Clara Building & Construction Trades Council with the goal of expanding the scope of the City’s Project Labor Agreement (PLA) to:

1. Decrease the project threshold covered under the PLA from $3 million to $1 million.

2. Remove the annual CPI adjustment to the threshold.

3. Remove exemptions to the PLA currently included in Addendum C for street maintenance, sewer maintenance, municipal water, airport pavement maintenance, on-call contracts, and building maintenance and rehabilitation.

4. Specify that contractors on covered projects will employ apprentices from a joint labor-management apprenticeship program approved by the California Division of Apprenticeship Standards.
