Letter_of_Assent_Template_Watermark.pdf

This is a Letter of Assent template issued by Mt. San Antonio College for contractors undertaking work subject to the College's Community Workforce Agreement effective March 5, 2021. The letter requires all contractors awarded work covered by the Community Workforce Agreement to sign and return the assent prior to commencing work. Contractors must agree to be bound by the terms of the Community Workforce Agreement for all work within the scope of the Agreement and must require all subcontractors and lower-tier contractors to execute identical Letters of Assent before beginning work. The signed letters must be submitted to both the Community Workforce Coordinator, Joe Carbajal, and the Los Angeles/Orange Counties Building and Construction Trades Council. Contractors must complete the template by providing their company name, authorized signatory information, state license number, and project name.

The Letter of Assent template establishes a contractual binding mechanism for implementing prevailing wage and local workforce development requirements across the entire contractor and subcontractor supply chain. By requiring all parties in the construction hierarchy to execute the letter, Mt. San Antonio College ensures consistent compliance with Community Workforce Agreement provisions, which include the goal of allocating 30 percent of construction labor hours to local residents. This template applies to on-call consultant services, including Materials Testing and Geotechnical Soils Engineering Services contracts estimated not to exceed $220,000 per project over a five-year initial term from November 2025 through October 2030, with options for four additional one-year extensions.
