the Pacific, Marine Division, ILWU (IBU) separately move for

preliminary injunctions, seeking to stop Defendants National Park

Service (NPS) and NPS Director Fran Mainella from awarding a

concession contract to Intervener Hornblower Yachts. Plaintiffs

contend that this contract is in violation of the McNamara-O'Hara

Service Contract Act (SCA), 41 U.S.C. § 351. Defendants and

Intervener oppose these motions. The matter was heard on April 28,

2006. Having considered all of the papers filed by the parties and

oral argument on the motions, and for reasons expressed in a

written order to follow, the Court finds that Plaintiffs likely

will succeed on the merits and their members likely will be

imminently and irreparably harmed if a preliminary injunction is

not granted.

Accordingly, Defendants are preliminarily enjoined from

awarding a contract, for the continuation of water transportation

services between the City of San Francisco, California and Alcatraz

Island and related services, that permits any contractor or

subcontractor under it to pay its employees providing services

under such contract less than the wages and fringe benefits

specified in Plaintiffs' collective bargaining agreements with Blue

and Gold Fleet, LLP, including any prospective increases in wages

and fringe benefits specified in such collective bargaining

agreements. 

Plaintiff MP&P's Motion for Preliminary Injunction (Docket

No. 7) is GRANTED. Plaintiff IBU's Motion for Preliminary

Injunction (Docket No. 10) is GRANTED in part, as stated above. 

This case is stayed pending the Department of Labor's determination

of whether the SCA applies to the concession contract at issue. 

The parties shall notify the Court within ten days after the

Department of Labor's determination. This injunction does not

prevent a contractor or subcontractor from seeking a variance from

the Department of Labor. If a variance is granted, Defendants may

move to vacate the preliminary injunction. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
