FFP LOCAL JOBS PROGRAM INITIATIVE
AND 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.
1
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.

FFP LOCAL JOBS PROGRAM INITIATIVE
AND 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.
