Construction Careers Project Stabilization Agreement

Impacts:

• All workers on the school projects will have healthcare coverage.
• The bond money stays in the community, thanks to strong local hiring goals: 100% within the County, 70% within the school district and 35% from target zip codes.
• Apprenticeship programs will provide pathways to middle-class careers for youth, minority workers and disadvantaged families.
• Any contractor can bid for the construction projects as long as they abide by the processes and standards set in the agreement.
• In use by school districts and other agencies around the state, PSAs have been proven to deliver quality work within budget and provide smooth coordination of projects.
