Matter ID No.
Purpose of Item:
An Ordinance of the Miami City Commission amending Chapter 18, Article III, the City of Miami
Procurement Ordinance, more particularly by amending Section 18-89, entitled "Contracts for public
works or improvements", to modify local workforce participation requirements for competitively
procured construction contracts as provided herein; containing a severability clause and providing for an
effective date.
Background Information:
During the Commission Meeting of May 22, 2014, the Commission expressed concern with the
apparently insufficient local workforce participation required for City projects for public works or
improvements. In response to such concerns and pursuant to the Commission's directive, an
ordinance revising the local workforce participation requirements of City Code Section 18-89,
Contracts for public works or improvements, has been drafted and submitted for the Commission's
review and approval. In an effort to improve the local workforce participation, the Capital
Improvement Projects (CIP) Department has recommended a scaled approach reflecting an increasing
number of local workforce laborers that would be required in proportion with the costs of such City
projects for public works or improvements. See attachment

Rafael,
We would like to offer the following modifications to the local workforce ordinance:
We would like to eliminate the 15% requirement and replace it with the proposed scale below:
For construction contracts with a value of less than $500k, no labor requirement.
For construction contracts with a value of $500k to $750k, one full time laborer from within the City of Miami
throughout the duration of the project (new hire)
For construction contracts with a value of $750k to $1 mil, two full time laborers """
This escalation can continue upwards at the same rate
Verification of the labor force must be completed within 3 months (not 6 months0) after project has reached final
completion (use this terminology) with the same penalty clause of 5% of the project retainage if the goal is not met.
Job fair requirement should remain unchanged
Verification requirement should remain unchanged
All other requirements should remain unchanged.
Thanks,
Mark S.
