Disaster Recovery, Infrastructure & Planning – PSC Testimony 
 
PJ Platt – PSC Project Manager 
 
1. Labor Recruitment Plan: 
• Our projects are scheduled to begin this year, ahead of many larger projects in the 
overall recovery pipeline. 
• This timing allows us to secure labor earlier, reducing competition for skilled trades. 
• We anticipate meeting most of our needs through existing contractor relationships 
and local subcontractors. 
 
2. Source of Workforce: 
• We expect to rely primarily on local workforce and subcontractors given the scale 
and timing of our projects. 
• If supplemental labor is required, it will be targeted and limited, brought in only 
where specific skill gaps exist. 
 
3. Worker Housing Plan: 
• Due to the smaller scale of our projects (approximately $12M range), our workforce 
size will be relatively modest. 
• We anticipate minimal housing demand, which can be accommodated through 
existing local housing and short-term rentals. 
• No large-scale or dedicated housing solutions are expected to be necessary. 
 
4. Anticipated Challenges: 
• At this time, we do not foresee significant workforce or housing constraints. 
• Our early project start and smaller scale reduce exposure to: 
• Peak labor competition 
• Housing shortages driven by larger, billion-dollar projects 
• We will continue to monitor market conditions as additional projects come online. 
 
 
5. Local Hiring Commitment 
• We are committed to prioritizing local hiring wherever feasible. 
• Our approach includes: 
• Partnering with local subcontractors and vendors 
• Utilizing the existing local labor pool first before seeking o:-island support 
• This approach helps support the local economy while also reducing logistical 
complexity. 
 
6. Overall Positioning: 
As one of the first projects releasing within the bundle, we are uniquely positioned to: 
• Mobilize early 
• Avoid peak demand pressures 
• Our smaller project size vs. billion-dollar programs allows for a more manageable 
workforce footprint, minimizing strain on both labor and housing resources.
