The goal of Expo’s Local Jobs Program is to work closely with the design-build contractor, FCI/Fluor/Parsons (FFP), to maximize the number of Expo community residents working as a result of the transit project. FFP's goal is to hire local residents from within the Expo Corridor to work 30% of construction hours.
The construction field office located at Arlington/Exposition is open for job inquires and takes applications. Over 600 people have inquired about jobs on the project and have been added to the database for tracking and follow-up.
FFP awarded a contract to PVJobs to help recruit local residents to participate in the Local Jobs Program. The contractor and PVJobs have been holding a series of orientation sessions with interested applicants to assess job skills, placement and training.
In addition to the Local Jobs Program, the Expo Construction Authority and FFP, have made a commitment to help DBE, small-sized, minority and women-owned businesses participate in the design and construction of Phase 1 of the Expo Line project, from downtown to Culver City. FFP has committed to reaching a 20% DBE participation goal on this project. As a result, the contractor will strive to award contracts worth 20% of the overall contract value for design, professional services and construction to DBE firms.
