Contractors and subcontractors must comply with regulations issued under this Act and pertaining to labor standards and HUD Handbook 1344.1. These provisions apply whether HOME funds are used for construction or non -construction costs. The City of Santa Ana has established a Community Workforce Agreement (CWA) with the goal of ensuring that the community is a part of the workforce on public works construction projects. The CWA applies to city -funded affordable housing projects, and imposes requirements on the project that will be enforced in any final agreement with the City. The Developer will be solely responsible for compliance with the CWA and ensuring any contractors comply with the CWA. Among other things, the CWA requires that all contractors working on CWA covered projects participate in a process for using local and skilled workers from the union hiring halls of the various construction trades. It is the contractor's responsibility to ensure that the project's craft hours are performed at least 30% by workers from Tier 1 and 2 ZIP codes and/or veterans and Building Trades Multi -Trade Craft Core Curriculum Pre -Apprenticeship Program graduates, regardless of where the live. Tier 1 ZIP codes are those comprising the City of Santa Ana and Tier 2 ZIP codes are those comprising Orange County. The local hire attainment will be calculated by dividing the hours reported as performed by local workers on Certified Payroll Reports by the total number of hours reported on Certified Payroll Reports. It is the prime contractor's responsibility to determine how to attain that goal. Although each subcontractor is not required to meet the goals, the project overall must meet it.
