6, 2022, so that it can gather additional
data from more projects to better assess
the effect of local hire preferences on
competition. The extension of this pilot
program will provide FHWA and FTA
recipients and subrecipients flexibility
to continue operating under the pilot
program while DOT conducts its
evaluation as well as provide DOT with
additional projects to consider in
evaluating the impacts on competition.
Please note that Section 415 of the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016,
Public Law 114–113 (FY 2016
Appropriations Act), extended by Public
Law 114–223 and Public Law 114–254,
continues the restriction on the Federal
Transit Administration (FTA) from
using FY 2016 funds to implement,
administer or enforce 49 CFR 18.36(c)(2)
for construction hiring. Accordingly,
FTA recipients and subrecipients do not
need to submit applications for
participation in the pilot program for
contracts awarded or advertised on or
before September 30, 2016.
Additionally, we note that Section
192 of the FY 2016 Appropriations Act
(also extended by Public Law 114–223
and Public Law 114–254) expressly
authorizes DOT assisted contracts under
titles 49 and 23 of the United States
Code utilizing geographic, economic, or
other hiring preferences not otherwise
authorized by law if the grant recipient
certifies the following:
(1) That except with respect to
apprentices or trainees, a pool of readily
available but unemployed individuals
possessing the knowledge, skill, and
ability to perform the work that the
contract requires resides in the
jurisdiction;
(2) That the grant recipient will
include appropriate provisions in its bid
document ensuring that the contractor
does not displace any of its existing
employees in order to satisfy such
hiring preference; and
(3) That any increase in the cost of
labor, training, or delays resulting from
the use of such hiring preference does
not delay or displace any transportation
project in the applicable Statewide
Transportation Improvement Program or
Transportation Improvement Program.
Accordingly, recipients and
subrecipients should follow the
application process described in the
March 6, 2015, Federal Register notice
(80 FR 12257), except that recipients
and subrecipients must also include the
required certifications from Section 192
of the FY 2016 Appropriations Act as
discussed above.
