Baltimore City Local Hiring Law Notice
The Local Hiring Law (Council Bill 12-0159) (the “Law”) applies to all City contracts that are greater than $300,000.00 or agreements authorizing assistance that are within the terms of §27-2 of the Law executed by the City on or after the Law’s effective date, December 23, 2013. The Law requires compliance by vendors/contractors and their subcontractors regardless of the subcontractor award amount and by all persons benefiting from an agreement involving more than $5,000,000.00 in assistance for a City subsidized project.
The Law only applies to the original term of contract awards greater than $ 300,000.00. Extra Work Orders and contract modifications do not affect the applicability of the Law. Whether a City subsidized project is subject to the Law shall be finally determined when an agreement authorizing assistance valued at more than $5,000,000.00 is executed by the City.
All City bids, RFPs, and requests for bid packages and final contracts must include reference to the requirements of the Law. All bid documents and contracts subject to the Law will include a section referencing the requirements of the Law. The bidder’s signature will verify a commitment to abide by the Law.
Upon contract award or approval of an agreement for subsidy covered by the Law, the contracting city agencies or agencies entering into an agreement for the City subsidized project must immediately complete the Mayor’s Office of Employment Development (MOED) Vendor Contact form, providing contact information for each vendor/contract awarded and each beneficiary of a qualifying City subsidized project. MOED will contact the vendor or beneficiary upon receipt of the completed form from the city agency.
Before the second disbursement of the contract award or agreement for a City subsidized project covered by the Law, the awardee must work with a representative of the Mayor’s Office of Employment Development (MOED) to complete an Employment Analysis that will project the total workforce and the “new hires” in the Baltimore area needed to fulfill the contract/agreement. That Analysis shall include all information reasonably required by MOED, showing at a minimum general location (Baltimore area or not) of all workforce positions required to complete the contract/agreement.
A Local Hiring Review Committee (“LHRC”) will be established. The LHRC will be comprised of representatives/designees from the following:
Office of the City Council President
Office of the Deputy Chief of Economic Development and Neighborhoods
Mayor’s Office of Employment Development
Office of the Director of Finance
Baltimore City’s Procurement Office
Baltimore Development Corporation
