Opportunity Contracting and Workforce Hiring (OCH)
The following outlines the OCH goals for Woodhill Phase I
THE COMMUNITY BUILDERS GENERAL INTENT
TCB will ensure the Woodhill Redevelopment supports the overall objective to bring economic benefits to the City of Cleveland’s Woodhill Neighborhood, such as construction contracting opportunities; local contractor mentorship and relationship building; construction jobs; job training; and long-term jobs.
A critical factor in the determination of the success of the Woodhill Development will be the level of MBE, WBE and Section 3 contracting, as well as the amount of Section 3 / CMHA PAR workforce participation.
OPPORTUNITY CONTRACT and WORKFORCE HIRING (OCH) GOALS
30% MBE:Thirty percent of the total aggregate dollars spent for “Woodhill Development Expenditures” including construction, supplies, services, and professional services will be spent with certified MBE companies.
10% WBE:Ten percent of the total aggregate dollars spent “Woodhill Development Expenditures”, including construction, supplies, services, and professional services, will be spent with certified WBE companies.
10% Section 3 Businesses:Ten percent of the total aggregate dollars spent for “work performed” as it does not apply to “materials only” contracts as defined by the HUD Section 3 regulations.
Diverse Workforce:TCB’s objective is to hire a diverse construction workforce that reflects the Woodhill Neighborhood. Specific goals are:
Section 3 Residents:Twenty-five percent of the total hours worked to be performed by Section 3 residents located within the target area.
CMHA PAR Program Compliance:Twenty-five percent of the total hours worked to be performed by Section 3 Workers and 5% of total project hours performed by Targeted Section 3 Worker hours.
