• Scheduling

• Safety

• Sustainability

• Labor Compliance

• Project Labor Agreement (PLA) Requirements

• Local Worker Hire Program

LACCD’s $14.9 billion building program seeks to modernize and renovate projects throughout its nine colleges. The Board of Trustees established a 30% Local, Small, Emerging, and Disabled Veteran (LSEDV) participation goal for all BuildLACCD contracts. The District also seeks and encourages participation by minority-, women-, and LGBTQ-owned businesses.
