During the 2005 Session, the Legislature passed
2SSB 6480, which requires WSDOT to implement an apprenticeship
utilization requirement in WSDOT construction contracts. This
bill phases in the apprenticeship provision, starting at 10%
of the total labor hours on projects estimated to cost $5
million or more in 2007, 12% on projects estimated at $3 million
or more in 2008, and finally 15% on projects estimated at
$2 million or more in 2009. This bill also called for the
Secretary of Transportation to create and convene an Apprenticeship
Utilization Advisory Committee to help guide the Department's
decision making process in the development, implementation
and administration of this program.

progress of this effort, please e-mail apprenticeship@wsdot.wa.gov.
