LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING 2 (FORMING PART OF THE COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT)

SUB - CONTRACTOR PRE-QUALIFICATION

The pre-qualification process described in this Letter of Understanding shall apply to Schedule "E" and to any local union which signifies in writing that it wishes to adopt this process.

Each of the Local Unions agrees to provide the Employer with a list of all contractors that are bound to the Union and that are prepared to work within their geographic jurisdiction. Each of the Local Unions shall update their list as new signatory contractors become available.

The Union agrees that the contractors are required to provide their company profiles in order to be considered for pre-qualified status for sub-contracted work within their respective areas. In the event the contractor's qualifications change over time it is their responsibility to advise the parties of such change.

In the event that the Employer fails to contact pre-qualified sub-contractors identified by a Local Union and all or a portion of the work is awarded to a company that is not bound to this Agreement or an agreement with the Local Union the Employer shall be liable to pay damages to the Union in an amount equal to all dues that the Union would have received if the contract had been awarded to the company bound to an agreement with the Local Union or to this Agreement.

The damages referred to in paragraph 4 above shall be in addition to any damages payable pursuant to Article 22 of the Master Portion.
