Broadway, Suite 300, Los Angeles, CA 90015 Phone: (213) 847-2625 E-mail: bca.eeoeglacity.org AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PLAN The following contracts are subject to the City of Los Angeles Affirmative Action Program as required by the Los Angeles Administrative Code (LAAC) Section 10.8.4 et seq.: • Every non -construction contract of $100,000 or more; • Every construction contract of $5,000 or more. Purpose - An affirmative action program is a management tool designed to ensure equal employment opportunity. A central premise underlying affirmative action is that, absent discrimination, over time a contractor's workforce, generally, will reflect the gender, racial and ethnic profile of the available labor pools. Therefore, as part of its affirmative action program, a contractor monitors and examines its employment decisions and compensation systems to ensure equal employment practices, and takes steps to correct underutilization of women and minorities. Contractors are subject to all provisions contained in LAAC Section 10.8.4 et seq. which can be found at http://bca.lacity.or. The excerpts below are provided to serve as a starting point for satisfying these requirements: LAAC Section 10. 8.4 (B) The Contractor will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on behalf of the contractor, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to their race, religion, ancestry, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, marital status or medical condition. LAAC Section 10.8.4(K) The plan shall be subject to approval by the Office of Contract Compliance prior to award of the contract. LAAC Section 10.8.4(M) The Affirmative Action Plan required to be submitted shall, without limitation as to the subject or nature of employment activity, be concerned with such employment practices as: 1. Apprenticeship where approved programs are functioning, and other on-the-job training for non-apprenticeable occupations; 2. Classroom preparation for the job when not apprenticeable; 3. Pre -apprenticeship education and preparation; 4. Upgrading training and opportunities; 5. Encouraging the use of contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers of all racial and ethnic groups, provided, however that any contract subject to this ordinance shall require the contractor, subcontractor or supplier to provide not less than the prevailing wage; 6. The entry of qualified women, minority and all other journeymen into the industry; and 7. The provision of needed supplies or job conditions to permit persons with disabilities to be employed, and minimize the impact of any disability. LAAC Section 10.8.4(Q) All contractors subject to the provisions of the section shall include a like provision in all subcontracts awarded for work to be performed under the contract with the City and shall impose the same obligations, including but not limited to filing and reporting obligations, on the subcontractors as are applicable to the contractor.
