Employment Program-BAFO No. 2

PR 2.7 Local Employment Plan – Q&A

1. Question: Demonstrate our understanding of employment and job market conditions in California including, an understanding of and plans for coordinating with applicable publicly and privately funded workforce development groups in the

hiring of local workers.

Response: ENC has a long standing and well established relationship with the local workforce. We assess wages yearly to insure competitive pay scales for both skilled and entry - level positions. ENC’s entry level wages are near th e 25th percentile

for Riverside County as well as all other direct skilled and unskilled positions. ENC is also partnered with several local labor and staffing agencies to help offset our training pool and direct hire needs. ENC is committed to the trainin g
and development of our employees and offer certification programs for our welders and painters as well as on -
the
-
job
training of 160 hours for all shop floor positions.

Between these two programs ENC estimates it will spend $210 k on training and develop
ment for Metro’s bus order fulfillment.

2. Question: Provide a commitment to hire Disadvantaged Workers that equals a total of 10% of the total wages and benefits for all Local Workers.

Response: While ENC does not have a formal hiring policy for hiring Disadvantaged workers, we do provide an ADA accessible facility and currently meet Metro’s requirement of hiring 10% disadvantaged workers. ENC will remain committed to the hiring of disadvantaged

worker throughout Metro’s order.

3. Question: Provide the est imated number of California Resident FTE jobs proposed in the Local Employment Plan, its direct dollar value specifi c to the contract. Identify the estimated number of jobs by trade or craft.

Response: There will be an estimated 83 additional positions added to ENC’s Riverside California’s manufacturing facility and the direct dollar value will be an estimated $5.7 m over the course of the contract. See the Local Employment Plan, locations tab,

column G for number of hires by
category
. It is ENC’s full intention to continue employing these additional position
s
after the Metro’s contract is fulfilled.

4. Question: Describe the quality and range of California employment opportunities included in th e proposed Local Employment Plan.

Response: ENC’s workforce is totally California based. All professional and manufacturing positions (except national regional sales) are from California so the quality and range o f local employment is extensive (see attac hed set of job descriptions for each additional position).

Furthermore ENC’s vendor base is in Southern California increasing the local labor advantage in both range and quality.

It is ENC’s full intention to continue employing these additional positions a fter
the Metro’s contract is fulfilled.

5. Question: Identify the location(s) of assembly and manufacture of the vehicles and describe any plans to build a new facility in California or invest in upgrades, repairs and renovations to an existing facility in California.

Response: All of our assembly is done in one facility located in Riverside, California. ENC’s capital plan includes:
• $2.8 m RCTO (thermal oxidizing unit) to our facility in preparation for the increased demand that LACMTA would place on our fa
cility. The unit reduces the VOC emission by up to 98%, reducing ENC’s carbon footprint and improving Southern California’s air quality.

EXHIBIT C - LOCAL EMPLOYMENT PLAN

3 Offeror’s Response – PR 2.7 Local

• $170 k LED lighting upgrade
•

$100 k overhead crane upgrade

•

$100 k welding machine addition

•

$100 k brake press

•

$100 k ma
terial movers

•

$100 k air filtration/ventilation

•

$200 k in facility repairs/renovations (new exterior paint and interior finishes)

6. Question: Describe outreach and recruitment plans for the Local Employment Plan

Response: ENC’s manufacturing recruitment plan consists of permanently hiring our current contract labor which serves as our training pool for permanent labor base. We then would use our local labor agencies to backfill our training pool.

The professional recruitme
nt plan is well established, as ENC partners with area colleges in an extensive internship program that has already filled 5 professional positions. We currently have 5 more interns working and training here to sustain our professional positions needs in t
he future.

7. Question: Describe our approach to encourage subcontractor and supplier participation in the Local Employment Plan.

Response: 49% of ENC’s vendor base is located in Southern California which employs approximately 150 people . As ENC would gro w our production by 25% with the LACMTA order it would logically progress to that local vendor base.

Unfortunately they do not have the capacity to segregate the LACMTA’s order volume from their regular production.

8. Question: Provide the name of the Plan Administrator and contact information including name, title, company, address, telephone and email.
