Water Replenishment District (WRD)

Elizabeth Solís

Assistant VP of Operations

“Walking a client through a new process is always a wonderful experience for us, as we get to refine our best practices as a firm. This was the case when we created the Prop 84 Policy and Procedure Manual WRD needed to apply for funding, and again when we helped the District navigate its first PLA.”

• TSG Role: PLA and LCP (Prop-84 Funded) Administrator, Jobs Coordinator

TSG served as the Project Labor Agreement (PLA) and Labor Compliance Program (LCP) administrator for this $33 million project. In this role, TSG staff was responsible for all aspects of PLA administration, including contractor education and support, monitoring and enforcement of PLA provisions, grievance processing, and facilitating labor-management cooperation. TSG also served as the District’s Jobs Coordinator for the project, with an emphasis on supporting and enforcing local hiring objectives, which were implemented to ensure construction employment opportunities for District residents and support for veteran’s hiring.
