Solicitation to supply Avgas 100LL, Jet A with Prist, and Jet A without Prist at selected Pacific Northwest airportsKing County Priority Hire Advisory Committee - Seeking Applications

from diverse candidates with experience in the construction industry 

Applications are due Friday, June 10, 2022. Please submit to opportunity@kingcounty.gov 

The King County Finance and Business Operations Division (BDCC) is soliciting applications for its Priority Hire Advisory Committee (KCPHAC).  This committee will operate in an advisory role for the implementation and effectiveness of the County’s Priority Hire program. 
The Priority Hire program is designed to prioritize the recruitment and placement of economically disadvantaged local workers on King County public works construction projects estimated at $5 million or more. The program is intended to help address construction workforce shortages, diversify the construction workforce and improve the well-being of individuals who live in geographic areas of economic distress.

The KCPHAC consists of 12 members appointed by the Executive and confirmed by the King County Council.

The committee endeavors “to include representatives with experience in the construction industry from: contractors; The Associated General Contractors of Washington; labor union representatives; small contractor and supplier businesses; pre-apprentice and apprentice training providers; and local community or business organizations.” (King County Ordinance, File #: 2017-0450, Section 5, Page 10).

We are searching for representatives from diverse communities of King County to achieve a balance of race, sex, disabilities, point-of-view, geographical area, and the specific needs of the board/committee. 

The committee meets in person quarterly with a virtual option. The commitment is for three years with the option of a two-year extension. Committee members must live in King County. For more information on the Committee and its activities, including any questions about the recruitment process, please contact susmason@kingcounty.gov. 

If you are interested in being considered for the King County Priority Hire Advisory Committee, please complete the attached application and submit to susmason@kingcounty.gov. The deadline to submit your application is Friday, June 10th, 2022. 

Please feel free to forward or share this email with anyone you think may be interested in applying for the KCPHAC. We look forward to hearing back from interested candidates.
