Construction Laborer

Work description

The Employer permanently employs 40 Construction Laborers at its Mobile place of employment, and they perform Construction Laborer duties every month of the year. The exterior sitework the Employer has contracted for October 15 through May 31 requires 109,557 Construction Laborer hours. The permanent crew, credited at 40 workers and at the hours it works in those months, supplies 55,472 of them. The deficit of 54,085 hours equals 39 full-time-equivalent positions across the eight-month period. The Employer requests 39. CC Iowa Colony 288, LLC is a construction company performing exterior sitework under its own contracts on commercial and residential projects with clients in the Mobile, AL area, and we supply and manage our own workers, equipment and materials to complete the services we provide. Established in 2024, the Employer has performed exterior sitework in the Mobile, Alabama area since 2024 and employs 40 people at the Mobile place of employment. Its cycle repeats annually: production hours run on average 12,287 per month in OctoberMay and 6,663 per month in JuneSeptember; over the last 2 years. Payroll records support these figures Its Construction Laborers perform digging, trenching, and site grading support; loading, unloading, and distributing materials, tools, and equipment throughout the job site; erecting, leveling, and dismantling scaffolding, ramps, and barricades; clearing and preparing work areas of debris and standing water; and assisting journey-level tradespeople with material handling, concrete placement support, and exterior component installation. The summer constraint that produces the pattern: heat NCEI 1991 to 2020 climate normals for Mobile Regional Airport, the climate station of record for the place of employment (USW00013894, accessed September 21, 2026), record mean daily maximum temperatures of 89.4F in June, 90.9F in July, 90.8F in August, and 87.5F in September, against 79.7F in October and 84.9F in May; 75 days per year with a maximum at or above 90F, approximately 92 percent of them (69 of 75 days) falling in June through September; mean dew points of approximately 70F in the summer months; and mean monthly precipitation of 6.60 in June through September against 5.08 in October through May. National Weather Service heat-index climatology for Mobile records around 6 days per year at or above the danger threshold, concentrated in the same four months. The Atlantic hurricane season, as corroboration, and the October seam The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration designates the Atlantic hurricane season as June 1 through November 30, with climatological activity peaking in For Mobile, Alabama, during August and September, with most activity occurring between mid-August and mid-October. Tropical systems during this period can create operational disruptions such as site stand-downs, flooding, and delivery delays. The requested peak begins on October 15, 2026, rather than December 1, because the heat constraint - the constraint that governs the daily production rate - largely lifts in October, with the mean daily maximum at Mobile falling to 79.7F in October from 87.5F in September and the Employers heat stand-down average days falling from 6 in the summer months to less than 1 in October across three years. In addition, the owners mobilization dates on the contracted projects are concentrated in October, tropical-weather stand-downs from mid-October and November are limited enough for the project schedule to absorb, and exterior hours first exceed the permanent crews capacity in October. The period of need ends on May 31 because the mean daily maximum rises to 89.4F in June, heat stand-down days increase from 0 in May to 6 in the summer months, the owners schedules conclude their exterior scopes by May 31, and exterior volume falls in June to a level the permanent crew can carry alone.
