Project Labor Agreement 
Project Labor Agreement 
ARTICLE 1 
It is the intent of the Parties to set out uniform standard working conditions for the efficient
performance of construction; herein to establish and maintain harmonious relations between all
parties to this Agreement; to secure optimum quality and productivity, and to eliminate strikes,
lockouts or delays in the performance of the work undertaken by the Employer. 

This commitment includes the Owners, Contractors and Unions who become signatory to this
Agreement. 
PURPOSE 
This Agreement is entered into by and between the Port of Seattle (Port), its successors or assigns,
the Project Contractor(s), and the Seattle Building Trades and Northwest Construction Alliance II,
hereinafter collectively called the "Union or Unions," with respect to the Project Labor Agreement 
for the Restroom Renovations Phase 4 Project . 
This agreement will cover Restroom Renovations Phase 4 Project funded in part by the FAA as
approved by the Port Commission. Such approved construction projects are hereafter referred to
as "Covered Projects". 
The term "Contractor" shall include all construction contractors and all sub-contractors of
whatever tier engaged in onsite construction work within the scope of this Agreement. The term
"Prime Contractor" is the general contractor awarded the initial Project bid. 
The Parties recognize the need for the timely completion of Port of Seattle Covered Projects 
without interruption or delay. This Agreement is intended to enhance this cooperative effort
through the establishment of a framework for labor-management cooperation and stability. The
Parties agree that the timely construction of this Project will require substantial numbers of
employees from construction and supporting crafts possessing skills and qualifications that are
vital to its completion.  They will work together to furnish skilled, efficient craft workers for the
construction of the Project. 
Further, the Parties desire to mutually establish and stabilize wages, hours and working conditions
for the craft workers to encourage close cooperation between the Contractor(s) and the Unions to
the end that a satisfactory, continuous and harmonious relationship will exist between the Parties
to this Agreement. 
Therefore, to maintain a spirit of harmony, labor-management peace, and stability during the term
of this Agreement, the Parties agree to abide by the terms and conditions in this Agreement, and
to establish effective and binding methods for the settlement of all misunderstandings, disputes or
grievances which may arise. Further, the Contractor(s) and all of its Sub-contractors of whatever

2

Project Labor Agreement 
tier, agree not to engage in any lockout, and the Unions agree not to engage in any strike, slowdown
, interruption, or other disruption of or interference with the work covered by this Agreement. 
ARTICLE 2 
SCOPE OF AGREEMENT 
Section 1. 
This Project Labor Agreement (PLA) shall apply and is limited to the recognized and accepted
historical definition of new or construction work as described in the Restroom Renovations Phase
4 Project  performed by the Prime Contractor and those Sub-contractors of whatever tier which
have contracts with the Prime Contractor for such work, all of which is herein described as the
"Project". Except for the activities covered by Section 5 of this Article, any construction work
defined in RCW 39.12 will be subject to the PLA. Such work shall include site preparation work 
and dedicated off-site work, including transportation of equipment and materials to the site. 
It is understood by the Parties that the Port may, at its sole discretion, add to a specific project 
covered by this Agreement. In so doing, the Port will notify the Unions of their intended changes. 
It is agreed that the Prime Contractor agrees to require all Contractors and their Sub-contractors of
whatever tier who have been awarded contracts for work covered by this PLA, to accept and be
bound by the terms and conditions of this Project Labor Agreement by executing the Letter of
Assent (Appendix B) prior to commencing work. The Port shall assure compliance with this PLA 
by the Contractors. The signatory Unions agree to assist the Port with contractor compliance. 
When a subject is covered by the provisions of a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) and is
not covered by this PLA, the local CBA shall prevail if not in conflict with FAA's Airport
Improvement Program requirements. It is further agreed that, where there is a conflict, the terms
and conditions of this Project Labor Agreement shall supersede and override terms and conditions
of any and all other national, area, or local Collective Bargaining Agreements, except for all work
performed under the NTL Articles of Agreement, the National Stack/Chimney Agreement, the
National Cooling Tower Agreement, all instrument calibration work and loop checking shall be
performed under the terms of the UA/IBEW Joint National Agreement for Instrument and Control
Systems Technicians, and the National Agreement of the International Union of Elevator
Constructors, with the exception of Article 6, 7, and 8 of this Project Labor Agreement, which
shall apply to such work. If this PLA is silent on any issues the individual Collective Bargaining
Agreements shall prevail. 
It is understood that this is a self-contained, stand alone, Agreement and that by virtue of having
become bound to this Project Labor Agreement, neither the Project Contractor nor the Contractors
shall be obligated to sign any other local, area, or national agreement. 
Section 2.

absolute right to select any qualified and responsible bidder for the award of contracts on this
Project without reference to the existence or non-existence of any agreements between such bidder
and any party to this PLA; provided, however, only that such bidder is willing, ready and able to

Project Labor Agreement 
ARTICLE 5 
UNION SECURITY 
Section 1.
Authorized representatives of the Union shall have reasonable access to the Project, provided that
such representatives do not interfere with the work of the employees, and further provided that
such representatives fully comply with posted visitor, security and safety rules and the
environmental compliance requirements of the Project. It is understood that because of the scope
of the Project, the type of work being undertaken on the Project site and the continuous operation
of the airport during construction, visitors may be limited to certain times, or areas, or to being
escorted at all times if said representative does not have a Security Identification Display Area
(SIDA) Badge while on the Project site; in such circumstances, however, Project workers shall be
allowed to confer privately with their authorized Union representatives. The Contractor recognizes
the right of access set forth in the Section and such access will not be unreasonably withheld from
an authorized representative of the Union. 
Section 2. 
(a) Each signatory Local Union shall have the right to designate a working journeyman as a steward
for the Prime Contractor and Sub-Contractors of whatever tier and for each shift being worked and
shall notify the Contractor in writing of the identity of the designated steward or stewards prior to
the assumption of such person's duties as steward. Such designated steward or stewards shall not
exercise any supervisory functions, such as hiring or termination of fellow employees or the
direction of the work. There will be no non-working stewards. Stewards will receive the regular
rate of pay for their respective crafts. 
(b) A steward for each craft of the signatory Unions employed on the Project shall be permitted on
the Project site at all times when work is being performed. Stewards shall not be subject to
discrimination or discharge on account of proper union activities. The Unions agree that such
activities shall not unreasonably interfere with the steward's work for the Contractor. 
(c) In addition to his/her work as an employee, the steward shall have the right to receive, but not
solicit, complaints or grievances and with local Union representative approval may       discuss
and assist in the adjustment of the same with the employee's appropriate supervisor. Each steward
shall be concerned with the employees of the steward's craft. The Contractor will not discriminate
against the steward in the proper performance of his/her union duties. 
(d) When a Contractor has multiple, non-contiguous work locations on the site, the Union may
appoint additional working stewards to provide independent coverage of one or more such
locations. In such cases, a steward may not service more than one work location without the
approval of the Union. 
(e) The stewards shall not have the right to determine when overtime shall be worked or who shall
work overtime. Provisions of any Collective Bargaining Agreement, giving the steward the option

6

Project Labor Agreement 
of working all reasonable overtime within their craft and shift shall be recognized, provided they
are qualified to perform the task assigned. 
Section 3. 
The Contractor agrees to notify the appropriate Union, in writing twenty-four (24) hours prior to
the layoff of a steward, except in the case of disciplinary discharge for just cause. If a steward is
protected against such layoff by the provisions of any Collective Bargaining Agreement, such 
provisions shall be recognized to the extent that the steward possesses the necessary qualifications
to perform the work remaining. In any case in which a steward is discharged or disciplined for just
cause, the appropriate Union shall be notified immediately by the Contractor. 
Section 4. 
Personnel of the Port will be working in close proximity to the construction activities. The Union
agrees that the Union representatives, stewards, and individual workers will not interfere with the
Port personnel, or with personnel employed by any other Employer not a party to this PLA. 
ARTICLE 6 
WORK STOPPAGES AND LOCKOUTS 
Section 1. 
During the term of this PLA there shall be no strikes, picketing, work stoppages, slowdowns or
other disruptive activity for any reason by the Union, its applicable Local Union or by any
employee, and there shall be no lockout by the Contractor on Covered Projects. Failure of any
Union, Local Union or employee to cross any picket line established at the Covered Project site is
a violation of this Article. 

Section 2. 
The Union and its applicable Local Union shall not sanction aid or abet, encourage or continue
any work stoppage, strike, picketing or other disruptive activity at the Contractor's Project site and
shall undertake all reasonable means to prevent or to terminate any such activity. No employee
shall engage in activities which violate this Article. Any employee who participates in or
encourages any activities which interfere with the normal operation of the Project shall be subject
to disciplinary action, including discharge, and if justifiably discharged for the above reasons, shall
not be eligible for rehire on the Project for a period of not less than ninety (90) days. 
Section 3. 
Neither the Union nor its applicable Local Union shall be liable for acts of employees for whom it
has no responsibility. The International Union General President or Presidents will immediately
7

Project Labor Agreement 
instruct order and use the best efforts of his/her office to cause the Local Union or Unions to cease
any violations of this Article. An International Union complying with this obligation shall not be
liable for unauthorized acts of its Local Union. The principal officer or officers of a Local Union
will immediately instruct, order and use the best efforts of his/her office to cause the employees
the Local Union represents to cease any violations of this Article. A Local Union complying with
this obligation shall not be liable for unauthorized acts of employees it represents. The failure of
the Contractor to exercise its right in any instance shall not be deemed a waiver of its right in any
other instance. 
Section 4. 
If any Party to this PLA believes a violation of this article has occurred, that Party may submit
their claim as a grievance under Article 7, Step 4, for expedited arbitration. The sole issue at the
arbitration hearing shall be whether or not a violation of this Article occurred. The arbitrator shall
have no authority to consider any justification, explanation or mitigation for such violation. The
arbitrator's award shall be issued in writing within 24 hours after the close of the hearing and may
be issued without an opinion. If any Party desires an opinion, one shall be issued within fifteen
(15) days, but its issuance shall not delay compliance with, or enforcement of, the award. The
arbitrator may order cessation of the violation, and any other appropriate relief, including, but not
limited to liquidated damages in the following amounts: For the first shift in which the violation
occurred, $10,000; for the second shift, $10,000; for the third shift, $10,000; for each shift
thereafter in which the craft has not returned to work, $10,000 per shift. Such award shall be final
and binding on all parties. The fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be equally divided between
the moving Party or Parties and the Party or Parties respondent. If the arbitrator determines that a
violation of this Article has occurred the Union(s) shall, within eight (8) hours of receipt of the
award, direct all of the employees they represent on the Project to immediately return to work. If
the arbitrator determines that a lockout has occurred in violation of this Article, he/she shall be
empowered to order the Contractor to bring the employee(s) in question back to work, and award
back pay to the employees who were locked out. The arbitrator shall retain jurisdiction to
determine compliance with this Article. 

ARTICLE 7 
DISPUTES AND GRIEVANCES 
Section 1. 
This PLA is intended to provide close cooperation between the Port, Contractor, and Labor. Each
of the Unions will assign a representative to this Project for the purpose of completing the
construction  of  the  Covered  Project  economically,  efficiently,  continuously,  and  without
interruptions, delays, or work stoppages. 
Section 2. 

8

Project Labor Agreement 
The Port, Contractors, Unions, and the employees, collectively and individually, realize the
importance to all Parties to maintain continuous and uninterrupted performance of the work of the
Project, and agree to resolve disputes in accordance with the grievance-arbitration provisions set
forth in this Article. 
Section 3. 
Any question or dispute arising out of and during the term of this PLA (other than trade
jurisdictional disputes) shall be considered a grievance and subject to resolution under the
following procedures: 
Step 1. 
(a) When any employee subject to the provisions of this PLA feels he/she is aggrieved by a
violation of this PLA, he/she, through his/her local Union business representative or designated
Union Representative, shall, within ten (10) working days after the occurrence, or had knowledge
of or should have known of the alleged violation, give notice to the work-site representative of the
involved Contractor stating the provision(s) alleged to have been violated.   The business
representative of the local Union or the designated Union Representative and the work-site
representative of the involved Contractor and the Owners Representative shall meet and endeavor
to adjust the matter within three (3) working days after timely notice has been given.  The
representative of the Contractor shall keep the meeting minutes and shall respond to the Union
representative in writing and the Owners Representatives at the conclusion of the meeting but not
later than twenty-four (24) hours thereafter. If they fail to resolve the matter within the prescribed
period, the grieving party may, within forty-eight (48) hours thereafter, pursue Step 2 of the
Grievance Procedure, provided the grievance is reduced to writing, setting forth the relevant
information concerning the alleged grievance, including a short description thereof, the date on
which the grievance occurred, and the provision(s) of the PLA alleged to have been violated. 
(b) Should the Local Union(s) or the Project Contractor or any Sub-Contractor of whatever tier 
have a dispute with the other Party and, if after conferring, a settlement is not reached within three
(3) working days, the dispute may be reduced to writing and proceed to Step 2 in the same manner
as outlined herein for the adjustment of an employee complaint. 
Step 2. 
The International Union Representative and the involved Contractor shall meet within seven (7)
working days of the referral of a dispute to this second step to arrive at a satisfactory settlement
thereof. Meeting minutes shall be kept by the Contractor. If the Parties fail to reach an agreement,
the dispute may be appealed in writing in accordance with the provisions of Step 3 within seven
(7) calendar days thereafter. 
Step 3. 
Expedited Alternative Dispute Resolution 
In the event no resolution is reached by the Union and the Contractor at Step 2, upon mutual
agreement the parties may agree to submit the grievance to a mediator appointed by Federal
Mediation and Conciliation Services (FMCS) or another mutually agreed upon mediator for
9

Project Labor Agreement 
mediation. If mediation fails to resolve the issue(s) or if both Parties do not agree to submit the
grievance to mediation, either party may request that the grievance be submitted to an arbitrator in
accordance with the provisions of Step 4. Nothing done or said by the Parties or the mediator
during the grievance mediation can be used in the arbitration proceeding. 
Step 4. 
(a) If the grievance has been submitted but not adjusted under Step 2 or Step 3, either Party may
request in writing, within seven (7) calendar days thereafter, that the grievance be submitted to an
Arbitrator mutually agreed upon by them. The Contractor and Sub-Contractor of whatever tier and
the involved Union shall attempt mutually to select an arbitrator, but if they are unable to do so,
they shall request the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Services (FMCS) to provide them with
a list of arbitrators from which the Arbitrator shall be selected. The rules of the (FMCS or whoever
we designate) shall govern the conduct of the arbitration hearing. The decision of the Arbitrator
shall be final and binding on all Parties. The fee and expenses of such Arbitration shall be borne
equally by the Contractor and the involved Local Union(s). 
(b) Failure of the grieving party to adhere to the time limits established herein shall render the
grievance null and void. The time limits established herein may be extended only by written
consent of the parties involved at the particular step where the extension is agreed upon. The
Arbitrator shall have the authority to make decisions only on issues presented to him/her. Also, 
he/she shall not have authority to change, amend, add to or detract from any of the provisions of
this PLA. 
Section 4. 
The Prime Contractor, Sub-tier contractor, the Port and the Union representatives shall be notified
of all actions at Steps 2 and 3 and shall, upon their request, be permitted to participate in all
proceedings at these steps. 

ARTICLE 8 
JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES 
Section 1. 
(a) The assignment of work will be solely the responsibility of the Contractor performing the work
involved; and such work assignments will be in accordance with the Plan for the Settlement of
Jurisdictional Disputes in the Construction Industry (the "Plan") or any successor Plan and shall
be based upon the appropriate agreements of record, decisions of record and previously provided
local written agreements between or among the Unions and established trade practice prevailing
in the locality. Locality is defined as the Seattle/King County Building Trades geographical
jurisdiction. Such assignments shall be disclosed by the Contractor at a pre-job conference held in

conference, scheduled by the Port, with the Unions a minimum of 2 weeks prior but not more than
90 days prior to commencing work. Each Contractor will submit to the Port a final trade
assignment one (1) week after attending the pre-job conference and prior to starting work. The
Port will send copies of the trade assignments to the Unions. 
ARTICLE 9 
SUBCONTRACTING 
Section 1. 
The Prime Contractor agrees that no Contractor shall subcontract any Covered Project work except
to a person, firm or corporation party that is willing, ready and able to sign a Letter of Assent. 
Section 2. 
If a Building Trades Union that traditionally represents construction employees in the geographic
area of the Project chooses not to become signatory to this PLA, the Prime Contractor and the
signatory Unions shall utilize one or both of the following options to ensure that work that may be
claimed by the non-signatory Union ("claimed work") is completed without disrupting the
Covered Project: 
(a) The signatory Unions will provide the Prime Contractor and all other Sub-tier
contractors who, by signing the Letter of Assent, agree to the terms and conditions of 
this PLA with the appropriate workforce to perform the claimed work. 
(b) The Prime Contractor may utilize any Contractor or Subcontractor to perform claimed
work, except that if such Contractor is party to an agreement with the non-signatory
Union, such Union must agree in writing to abide by Article 8, Jurisdictional Disputes,
and Article 6 Work Stoppages and Lockouts for the contractor to be awarded work
under this PLA.  Such Contractor may utilize its existing workforce and wage and
benefit package. Such Contractors shall be required to agree in writing to be bound to
11

Project Labor Agreement 
and abide by this Article, Article 6 Work Stoppages and Lockouts, and Article 8 
Jurisdictional Disputes. No other provision shall apply to such Contractors unless
required by the Prime Contractor. 
The names and physical business addresses of all Subcontractors on work covered by this PLA 
shall be transmitted to the Seattle Building Trades and NCA II by the Employer. 
Section 3: Small Business Outreach. 
The Prime Contractor and the Unions commit to conduct small business outreach to Minority,
Women and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (MWDBE) certified through the Washington
State Office of Women and Minority Business Enterprises. The Prime Contractor and the Unions
also commit to outreach to construction contractors in the Small Contractor and Supplier (SCS)
program certified through King County. 
The Port and Unions agree to meet with contractors to provide training and assistance about
working under Collective Bargaining Agreements and this PLA. 
Section 4: 
Whenever the Contractor is obligated to satisfy Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) the
Union's whose work is involved and the Contractor, by mutual agreement, may waive Article 9,
Section 1 prior to commencement of the work in the event an Employer and the Union are unable
to find qualified competitive DBE Subcontractors. The selected DBE and Prime Contractor must
complete pre-job paperwork defining the scope of work to be performed prior to waiver of Article
9, Section 1. 
If in accordance with the preceding paragraph, the Contractor utilizes a DBE/SCS Subcontractor
who does not sign the Letter of Assent, the Subcontractor must agree in writing to abide by Article
8, Jurisdictional Disputes, and Article 6 Work Stoppages and Lockouts for the Subcontractor to be
awarded work under this PLA. Such Subcontractor may utilize its existing workforce and wage
and benefit package. Such Subcontractors shall be required to agree in writing to be bound to and
abide by this Article, Article 6 Work Stoppages and Lockouts, and Article 8 Jurisdictional
Disputes. No other provision shall apply to such Subcontractors unless required by the Prime
Contractor. 
ARTICLE 10 
HELMETS TO HARDHATS 
Section 1. 
The Contractors and the Unions recognize a desire to facilitate the entry into the building and
construction trades of veterans who are interested in careers in the building and construction
industry.  The Contractors and Unions agree to utilize the services of the Center for Military
Recruitment, Assessment and Veterans Employment (hereinafter "Center") and the Center's
"Helmets to Hardhats" program to serve as a resource for preliminary orientation, assessment of
construction  aptitude,  referral to  apprenticeship  programs  or  hiring  halls,  counseling  and
12

Project Labor Agreement 
mentoring, support network, employment opportunities and other needs as identified by the
Parties. 
Section 2.
The Unions and Employers agree to coordinate with the Center to create and maintain an integrated
database of veterans interested in working on the Covered Project, and of apprenticeship and
employment opportunities for the Covered Project. To the extent permitted by law, the Unions will
give credit to such veterans for bona fide, provable past experience.
ARTICLE 11 
APPRENTICESHIP UTILIZATION 
The Parties agree to set an aspirational State Apprenticeship Council (SAC) Apprenticeship
Utilization Goal of fifteen percent (15%) per craft. The aspirational goal established for minority
apprentice training is twenty-one percent (21%) of the total apprentice training hours. The
aspirational goal established for female apprentice training is twelve percent (12%) of the total
apprentice training hours. The Prime Contractor will be responsible for all Contractors and Subcontractors
of whatever tier shall submit an Apprenticeship Utilization Plan at their pre-job
conference and all Contractors shall submit weekly certified payrolls identifying all SAC
registered apprentices. 
The Parties agree to encourage appropriate use of apprentices, including Washington State
Apprenticeship Training Council [WSATC] apprentices on the Project and to facilitate the
participation of people of color, women and other disadvantaged persons in such apprenticeship
programs, and increase the opportunities for participation by low-income people of color and
women. The Parties should identify aspirational training and hiring goals and reduce barriers to
employment and training. 
To the extent any costs associated with the use of apprentices on the Project are not appropriate
for reimbursement by the FAA under the AIP, the Port will use certified payrolls to determine the
difference in wages and deduct the amount from the invoice submitted for AIP reimbursement. 

ARTICLE 12 
PREFERRED ENTRY 
Section 1. 
The Parties agree to construct and expand pathways to living wage jobs and careers in the
construction industry for community members through collaborative workforce development
systems involving community-based training providers and union-based apprenticeship programs.
The purpose of this program is to facilitate a workforce reflective of the diversity of the region's
population.
Section 2. 
13

Project Labor Agreement 

The Parties agree to work in cooperation to provide pre-qualified applicants access to
apprenticeship opportunities generated by the construction contracts under the PLA. Preferred
Entry candidates shall be placed with Contractors working on the Project, subject to an interview
if requested by the Contractor. Selected Preferred Entry candidates who are not already first year
apprentices shall become first period apprentices. 
To give preferred entry apprentices an opportunity to become established in their apprenticeship
training, Contractors must employ Preferred Entry candidates for 700 hours, in order to count that
candidate toward the Preferred Entry requirement. The Port may reduce the number of required
hours to a minimum of 350 hours on the Project that have insufficient total apprentice hours to
support placements of a 700-hour duration. 
Section 3. 
The aspirational goal for Preferred Entry Apprentices shall be one (1) of each five (5) of those
apprentices  who have worked at least 350 or 700 hours  from  (but not limited to)  Pre-
Apprenticeship  programs  including  the  Apprenticeship  and  Non-Traditional  Employment
Program for Women (ANEW), YouthBuild, Helmets to Hard Hats, King County Pre-
Apprenticeship Construction Education (KC PACE), Ironworkers Pre-Apprenticeship Program,

WAGE SCALES AND FRINGE BENEFITS 
Section 1. 
In consideration of the desire of the the Port and Unions for all construction work to proceed
efficiently and economically and with due consideration for protection of labor standards, wages
and working conditions, all Parties agree that: 
The wage rates to be paid to all laborers, workers and mechanics who perform any part of this
Contract within King County shall be in accordance with the current local craft labor agreement
as identified in their individual Collective Bargaining Agreement. 
Contractors will recognize the current  State Prevailing Wage Rate established and required by
Chapter 39.12 of the Revised Code of Washington, as amended, as the minimum rates to be paid
to all craft employees, including pre-fabrication performed in Washington State, during the life of
the program. This requirement applies to laborers, workers and mechanics, employed by the
Contractors or any other person who performs a portion of the work contemplated by this PLA, 
within the State of Washington. 
The Contractors agrees to adopt and agree to be bound by the written terms of the legally
established trust provisions for fringe benefit bonds contained in the respective applicable local
collective bargaining agreements for all craft workers, core and union, and payments shall be made
by the Contractors for all craft employees during the life of the Covered Project. 
The Contractor shall pay the current increased wage rates and increased contribution rates to the
relevant trust funds purusant to any Collective Bargaining Agreements negotiated by the Unions
during the work performed on the Covered Project, effective when the relevant Collective
Bargaining Agreement goes into effect.  Further, the Contractor(s) and its Sub-contractors will
recognize all changes of wages and fringes on the effective date(s) of the individual craft local
collective bargaining agreement. Any retroactive increases will be recognized provided it is part
of the negotiated settlement. 
If any Subcontractor is delinquent in any Trust Fund contributions, the Union or the Trust Fund
shall first make every effort to resolve the delinquency. After all efforts have been exhausted, the
Union or Trust Fund shall provide timely notification to the Owner and the Contractor(s), together
with all documentary evidence of the delinquency endorsed by the Fund. Upon such notification,
the Contractor(s) will attempt to resolve the delinquency among its Subcontractor, the Union and
the Fund. If the delinquency is not resolved within ten (10) days thereafter, the Contractor(s) shall
withhold an amount to cover the delinquency from any retained funds otherwise due and owing to
the Subcontractor and shall not release such withholding until the Subcontractor is in compliance.
If the delinquent amounts are undisputed in whole or in part between the Fund and the delinquent
Subcontractor, the Contractor(s) shall issue a joint check to the Fund and the Subcontractor in the
amount of the undisputed delinquency. 
Copies of the Union Trust Agreements are available upon request.

assembly or pre-assembly of parts or components for installation related to new construction on
the Covered Project, if such off-site fabrication/customization work is performed in the State of
Washington.

pre-assembly shall not be construed as applying the following requirements of the Agreement
Article 10 (Helmets to Hardhats), Article 11 (Apprenticeship Utilization), Article 13 (Monthly
Labor Management Meetings), or Article 15 (Substance Abuse Program). However, the provisions

Agreement, the Contractor agrees to utilize such system and it shall be used initially by such
Contractor, except as it may be modified by this Article. Referrals shall not be affected by
obligations  of  Union  membership  or  the  lack  thereof.  Where  airport  security  clearance
requirements apply to work to be performed, the Contractor agrees to inform the Union's hiring
hall dispatcher of those requirements when requesting workers. For those Local Unions having a
Book system as part of their Collective Bargaining Agreement, such system will be honored in
regards to lay-off of workers from covered projects. 
Section 2. 
The Local Unions are recognized as the source of employment referrals. The appropriate Union
will be contacted and shall refer all applicants for employment to this Project according to the
standards or criteria uniformly applied to any construction project in the area. In the event that
any Union is unable to fill any requisition for employees within a forty-eight (48) hour period
after such requisition is made by the Contractor (Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays excepted), the
Contractor may solicit and employ applicants from any other available source. The Contractor
shall notify the Union of employees hired by any source other than referral by the Union. 
16

Project Labor Agreement 

Section 3. 
Subject to the Contractor's right to call for a specific skill or ability, the job referral systems
provided in the Collective Bargaining Agreements of the Union(s), or, in the absence of such
language, the referral practices in place at the Union(s ), will be in effect for the purpose of initial
employment only. Such job referral system, whether by contract or practice, must be operated in
a non-discriminatory manner and in full compliance with Federal, state and local laws and
regulations which require equal employment opportunities and non-discrimination, and referrals
shall not be affected in any way by the rules, regulations, by-laws, constitutional provisions or any
other aspect or obligations of Union membership. 
Section 4. 
The Contractor shall have the right to determine the competence of all employees, the right to
determine the number of employees required and have the sole responsibility for selecting the
employees to be laid-off consistent with this Agreement regardless of membership or nonmembership
in the Unions. The Contractor shall also have the right to reject any applicant referred
by the Unions. Upon referral or dispatch from a Union, "turnaround" or refusal of any worker by
the Contactor, requires written explanation from the Contractor that shall be communicated from
the Prime Contractor to the Port and affected Union within 48 hours. 
Section 5. 
No employee covered by this PLA shall be required to join any Union as a condition of being
employed on the Covered Project. The Contractor agrees to deduct union dues or representation
fees,  whichever  is  applicable,  from  the  pay  of  any  employee  who  executes  a  voluntary
authorization for such deductions and to remit the dues to the Union or Council. 
Nothing in this Section is intended to eliminate or affect the right of any employee to join the
Union. 
Section 6. 
The Parties agree that where a Contractor is not party to a current Collective Bargaining Agreement
with the Union having jurisdiction over the affected work, the Contractor may request by name,
and the Local will honor, referral of up to a maximum of five (5) persons per each contractor

following qualifications: 
(1) Any license required by state or federal law for the Project work to be performed; 
(2) Have worked a total of at least one thousand two hundred (1,200) hours in the construction
craft during the prior two (2) years;

days prior to the contract award; 
(4) Have the ability to perform the work safely. 
The Contractor may elect to hire its first "core" employee to be a foreman. After theContractor
hires his first core employee, the Union will refer to such Contractor one journeyman employee
from the hiring hall out-of-work list for the affected trade or craft, then refer one of such
Contractor's "core" employees as a journeyman, and shall alternate one core employee and one
employee from the out-of-work list, until such Contractor's crew requirements are met or until
such Contractor has hired five (5) "core" employees, whichever occurs first. 
Thereafter, all additional employees in the affected trade or craft shall be hired. For the duration
of the Contractor's work the ratio of "core" employees to hiring hall referrals shall be maintained
and when the Contractor's workforce is reduced, employees shall be reduced in the same ratio as
was applied in the initial hiring. 
All employees, core and union, shall be dispatched from the appropriate union. Trust benefits shall
be paid on all employees, core and union. 
Section 7. 
Individual seniority will not be recognized or applied to employees working on the Project. This
provision will not interfere with or supersede the use by individual Contractors of "call lists"
maintained by such Contractor pursuant to addenda to the local Collective Bargaining Agreement
between such Contractor and a Union signatory to this PLA. 
Section 8. 
The selection of craft foremen and/or general foremen and the number of such foremen and/or
general foremen required shall be entirely the responsibility of the Contractor. Craft foremen shall

Project Labor Agreement 

Prefabrication Side Letter 
Restroom Renovations Phase 4 Project 
Project Labor Agreement 
On-site fabrication and installation of components that are traditionally the work of
members of the various building trades Unions signatory to this Agreement will continue to be
recognized as such. If done off-site, the Parties' encourage that such fabrication will be performed
whenever possible by fabricators located in the Puget Sound area who pay their employees not
less than the current King, Snohomish or Pierce County Washington prevailing wage for the
appropriate classification. 
The Unions, signatory to this Agreement, recognize that the timely completion of this
Project is vital to the Port of Seattle and the Community it is intended to serve. Therefore, if the
nature of the work, the Project schedule, or contracting circumstances make it necessary to obtain
fabrication under conditions different than those described above, the Union(s) affected agree to
meet and confer with the Contractor to discuss the reasonable needs of the Project. The Contractor
and the Union(s) affected agree to discuss any other circumstances affecting off-site fabrication
contracting purchases, and any reasons making it necessary to depart from the aspirational goal set
forth above. The Union(s) affected agree to install on-site any components fabricated pursuant to
the terms of this letter without limitation.  The Parties will make every effort to keep an open
channel of communication to insure that both parties are fully informed of the facts affecting the
substance of this letter.

Between 
Teamsters Local Union No. 174 
And 
The Port of Seattle for 
Restroom Renovations Phase 4 Project 
Project Labor Agreement 

Whereas: The work of truck drivers is unique in the execution of the Project Labor Agreements
(PLA) in that much of the work is performed off site, and; 

Whereas: It is the intent of the Parties through this LOU to address owner operators performing
truck driving work in the execution and within the scope of this PLA: 
Therefore: It is agreed that classifications of work performed by truck drivers that are within the
jurisdiction of Teamsters Local Union No. 174 ("Local 174") and performed in the execution and
within the scope of this PLA, is to be paid the current prevailing wage subject to the following
additions and stipulations: 
1.  Article 2, applies with full force and effect to all Contractors and Subcontractors of whatever
tier who have been awarded contracts related to the work of truck drivers that is performed in
the execution and within the scope of this PLA. Thus, all such Contractors and Subcontractors
must, among other things, comply with the requirement set forth in Article 16, Section 1, 2, 3
and 4, all truck drivers who perform work within the scope of this PLA shall be dispatched by
Teamsters Local 174, except insofar as limited by the other provisions of Article 16.
2. The term "employee," as used in Article 16, is defined for the purposes of this Letter of
Understanding to include any person who is performing the work of a truck driver in the
execution and within the scope of this Project, unless modified by the terms of this LOU. 
3.  At the request of any Contractor or Subcontractor, that Contractor or Subcontractor may
choose to utilize as persons performing the work of truck drivers on this Project persons who
are already in possession of or who wish to provide their own vehicles (hereafter, "owneroperators"
). Use of owner-operators is governed by the following rules: 
3.1. Pursuant to the requirements of Article 16, Section 1, 2, 3 and 4, owner-operators
working on the Project must be dispatched by Teamsters Local 174. 
3.2. Owner-operators will receive a compensation package equivalent to the prevailing wage
that is applicable to all other employees who are dispatched by Local 174 to the Contractor
or Subcontractor regardless of tier. Owner-operators will also be reimbursed at the rates
31

Project Labor Agreement 
established by Local 174 and approved by the Port for the use of owner-operator vehicles
such rates shall be based on and shall not exceed the area standard for fair market value
for the use of the equipment. 
3.3. For the purposes of this Letter of Understanding, an owner-operator is defined by WAC
296-127-026. 
4.  For the purpose of clarification of this document, if an Owner Operator should expand his/her
business opportunities and acquire employees working on the Project, apprenticeship goals
contained in the PLA will apply.
