  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 November. This report will also detail the activities to be undertaken in the month of December to provide contracting and subcontracting opportunities for DBE firms, small sized businesses (including M/WBEs) and construction jobs for local residents.

  2. November 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, 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. • Released the Request For Qualifications (RFQ) to solicit a Community or Faith Based Organization to recruit, screen and train individuals for the Local Jobs Program: • November 13 - Issued the RFQ by mailing to a list of twelve (12) CBO/FBOs who have inquired about the Local Jobs Program over the past few months as well as placing advertisements in Daily Breeze, Daily News, The Downtown News, Eastern Group Publications (10 newspapers serving the Spanish-speaking community), The Los Angeles Sentinel and Wave Publications (West Wave, Northeast Wave and East Wave) • November 15 - Hosted Pre-Proposal Meeting for all interested parties at the Downtown Project Office to receive any questions regarding the RFQ. • Solicited proposals from 4 local companies regarding providing security services for the construction field office/yard and right-of-way. Infinity Protection Services was the company selected to provide guard services and work commenced on Wednesday, November 22, 2006. (Referred by the Crenshaw Chamber of Commerce)

  3. November Activities continued • Finalized and agreement with Chrysalis to employ homeless clients trained through the Chrysalis Enterprises Program for janitorial services at the construction field office. Work commenced on Monday, November 6, 2006. • Hired four (4) workers through PVJobs for intermittent work to distribute construction notices throughout the Exposition Corridor. We have identified the local hires on our Expo Project Corridor Residents (ECPR) Zip Code Map on the next slide. • Identified a Contracts Manager through G & C Equipment, a Minority-Owned Business Enterprise (MBE). • Added 15 new individuals to the existing database of approximately 100 individuals from with the Expo corridor (men and women) seeking construction employment opportunities through the Expo Local Jobs Program. (Any individual who is interested in the jobs program will be tracked and FFP will work with the Community/Faith Based Organizations to identify skill sets, qualifications for pre-apprenticeship, apprenticeship training or readiness to enter into the union and skilled positions.) • Supported the Young Black Contractors Annual Holiday Celebration by providing tools for their Apprenticeship Program.

Some DBE firms have already been hired as they were included on the Design/build team when FFPs proposal was submitted to the Authority.
