This document is a FEMA Technical Assistance (TA) grant notification prepared for emergency response purposes. The file outlines guidance and procedures for entities receiving FEMA funding to support labor compliance and prevailing wage monitoring activities on capital improvement projects. The document addresses the administration of on-call consulting services for the Department of Public Works Engineering Division and establishes the framework for selecting qualified consultants to perform labor compliance functions. Services encompass education, monitoring, and enforcement of prevailing wage requirements under the Davis-Bacon Act, California Prevailing Wage laws, and the City of Pasadena Living Wage Ordinance. Consultants selected through this procurement will be responsible for verifying proper worker classifications, validating prevailing wage payments by contractors and subcontractors, reviewing certified payroll submissions, conducting on-site interviews, monitoring apprentice ratios, and tracking good faith compliance efforts.

The document emphasizes that all selected consultants must demonstrate comprehensive understanding of federal, state, and local labor compliance standards and provide detailed methodologies aligned with the RFP evaluation criteria. The FEMA Technical Assistance grant provides funding to support these labor compliance services on a reimbursable basis, ensuring that capital improvement projects receiving public funding maintain full compliance with applicable wage and labor regulations. The scope requires ongoing monitoring throughout project lifecycles of varying complexity and contract sizes, with consultants maintaining detailed documentation and reporting requirements to substantiate compliance verification activities.
