  1. FFP LOCAL JOBS PROGRAM INITIATIVEAND CONTRACTING OPPORTUNITIES The following information provides a status update of FFP’s Jobs Program outreach and work activities in the month of December. This report will also detail the activities to be undertaken in the month of January to provide contracting and subcontracting opportunities for DBE firms, small sized businesses (including M/WBEs) and construction jobs for local residents.

  2. December Activities: FFPs’ Local Jobs Program has made efforts to recruit skilled and unskilled labor from within the Expo Corridor. FFP anticipates that during the peak period of construction, approximately 250 construction jobs for skilled craft personnel will be available on the Expo LRT Project. FFP’s Construction Jobs Program goal is to hire local residents from within the Expo Corridor to work 30% of these construction hours. • Received responses to RFQ soliciting Community/Faith Based Organizations and non-profits to help outreach to local residents regarding the Expo Local Jobs Program. Award is scheduled to take place in January. Selected groups will assist with pre-apprenticeship programs and recruitment of candidates. • Hired Contracts Manager through a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) firm. • Continued to use workers from PVJobs for intermittent work to distribute construction notices throughout the Exposition Corridor. • Hosted the first in a series of Job Fairs at the construction field office site. Recruited candidates to supplement the existing staff of Infinity Protection Services, a local firm providing security services on the Expo project. All applicants were residents within the Expo Corridor. • Continued to add new individuals to existing database of over 100 individuals from the Expo Corridor seeking employment opportunities through the Expo Local Jobs Program. Once CBOs are selected, FFP will work with these organizations to identify all applicants’ skill sets, qualifications for pre-apprenticeship, apprenticeship training or readiness to enter into union and skilled positions.

  3. FFP LOCAL JOBS PROGRAM INITIATIVEAND CONTRACTING OPPORTUNITIES FFP is committed to a diverse work force and is making significant progress in reaching the 20% DBE goal for Design, Professional Services as well as Construction. These goals are in addition to the 30% local resident hiring goal. Some DBE firms have already been hired as they were included on the Design/build team when FFPs proposal was submitted to the Authority. However, as new DBE opportunities are identified, as Work Packages are released FFP will advertise these new opportunities in industry publications and will make efforts to reach out to new DBE businesses via email, newsletters, websites and other venues as they are identified.
