Re:Contract No. P1-128A Headquarters Complex at Plant 1
Gentlemen,
It has come to our attention that Helix,AJ Kirkwood,and Berg are a few of the electrical
IBEW contractors currently bidding or already involved with the Orange County Sanitation
District's Headquarters Complex at Plant 1 project. As you may or may not know, IBEW
Local 441 initiates labor disputes with electrical contractors in the county who fail to
ORANGECOUNTY meet area standards on the projects they perform work on.

ELECTRICAL WORKERS.BROTHERHOOD
LOCAL IBEW Local 441 invests a great deal of resources to protect the industry from area
standards violations. We feel the public should not have to pick up the tab for
contractors like Helix, AJ Kirkwood, and Berg who not only refuse to utilize a capable
309 N. RAMPART STREET local workforce, but also fail to provide adequate healthcare, wages, and benefits for
SUITE M
ORANGE, CA 92868 those in their employ.

dispute. Instead, we ask you use your managerial discretion and not allow electrical
contractors to perform any work on your project as long as they fail to meet area
standards.
