Newsletter 2015-22 June 12, 2015 LEGISLATIVE LEADERSHIP TO ATTEND CAWV ANNUAL MEETING Senate President Bill Cole and House of Delegates Speaker Tim Armstead will highlight the General Business Session at the 2015 CAWV Annual Meeting, which will be held July 9-12 at The Greenbrier. “We are very pleased to have President Cole and Speaker Armstead to speak to our members,” said CAWV President Dan Flesher. “There are many issues before the West Virginia Legislature that affect our members. We are honored they will attend and give us their vision for the future of West Virginia, including funding for the state’s infrastructure of roads and bridges, schools and water and sewer facilities and tax reform,” the president commented. They join other speakers including new Associated General Contractors of America President Chuck Greco and Paul Mattox, Jr., secretary of the West Virginia Department of Transportation and Commissioner of the West Virginia Division of Highways. Nearly 300 members have already registered for the meeting, which will begin Thursday, July 9, with a reception. “We have sold out the past few years so I encourage all members to make their reservations as soon as possible,” said CAWV Program Committee Chairman Roger Thomas. “The business sessions and the networking opportunities make the meeting a worthwhile event for all members. If you have yet to attend an Annual Meeting, this year’s meeting will be a good one to start with. The division meetings will feature discussions on issues that will affect all members over the coming year,” he stated. Members are asked to return their activities form to register for golf, trap, culinary and other events. Sponsorships for the functions are still available for members wishing to support this year’s meeting. See attached to this week’s newsletter the registration information for sponsoring options.

LEGISLATIVE INTERIM MEETINGS DISCUSS CHANGE ORDERS, PREVAILING WAGE The Joint Committee on Government Organization during this month’s legislative interim meetings learned of a recent report by the Performance Evaluation and Research Division (PERD) on the state Purchasing Division, and specifically, the division’s change order policy. The report said Purchasing should discontinue allowing agencies to submit change orders after their effective dates, “particularly when they have monetary repercussions to the state.” PERD wants agencies not to permit vendors to perform work through a change order until the change order has been formally approved by the Purchasing Division and the Attorney General’s office, encumbered by the Purchasing Division, and mailed to the vendor. The change goes into effect July 1, 2015. PERD examined 75 sample files to determine which agencies had the submitted change orders and found that 85 change orders evaluated for the report were submitted by 22 agencies. One agency had two contracts with an increase of $1.8 million but they were for products and services, not construction. The upcoming change will have ramifications on state construction projects. The bottom line is that PERD wants a change order approved and signed before work is to begin on the change order work. The CAWV has met with the state’s Legislative Auditor, the Secretary of Administration and the Purchasing Division to alert them of the problems this will occur in the field if contractors are forced to shut down the project while waiting for the change order to go the process of being approved and signed off on. They noted that many of the change orders on state contracts are not related to contracting and that the ruling could have a detrimental impact on construction projects. They agreed to work with the association to determine a solution. Legislators at their Sunday meeting also learned the impact this change will have on construction contracts. More information to members will follow. The Joint Committee on Government and Finance met Monday to review the new method to calculate the state’s prevailing wage rate. Under S.B. 361 passed this session, WorkForce West Virginia, WVU and Marshall had to present their recommendations to the committee by June 1, with the new prevailing wage rate to go into effect July 1, 2015. Committee members were not pleased with WorkForce West Virginia’s proposal to calculate the new wage rate, saying it did not meet the legal requirements of S.B. 361 and it was an incomplete report. If there is no plan in place by July 1, it appears that prevailing wage will disappear in West Virginia, at least for some period of time. The committee did direct its attorneys to prepare options for the legislature to consider if WorkForce does not adopt a methodology it deems acceptable. If they come up with a plan before July 1, current 2015 prevailing wage rates would stay in effect until a new rate is determined. If the plan is not approved prior to July 1, prevailing wage rates would not be required until such time new rates could be developed. At issue is WorkForce’s decision to go with a survey of contractors to help determine the new prevailing wage. Lawmakers said that isn’t much different than the way prevailing wage was determined before. WorkForce’s Research, Information and Analysis Division Director Jeff Green defended the choice, noting that there would be over 5,000 contractors and subcontractors surveyed, much more than the current system. In a June 10 Charleston Gazette article, Phil Kabler reported that the Governor Earl Ray Tomblin intends for WorkForce to proceed with its plan for recalculating prevailing wage rates. Other legislators say the proposed plan ignores data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which they say is the only information the new state law specifically points out that should be used in determining the wage. Other lawmakers noted that BLS can be used, along with all appropriate economic data and the actual rate of wages paid in the regions of the state. WVU and Marshall representatives questioned whether BLS is truly reflective of actual wage rates which is why the proposal includes an actual survey. The Joint Committee on Government and Finance is going to meet again to look at options to determine a methodology for calculating prevailing wage rates. Important to contractors is the timeline. There is a possibility there will be no prevailing wage requirements on state funded construction project beginning July 1 and extending until such a time that new prevailing wage rates are determined. This could be August or September. How projects will be bid during this period will be a concern to all contractors. The CAWV will be communicating with members during this process to keep them up-to-date on this issue. GOVERNOR ORDERS $39 MILLION SPENDING CUT BY JUNE 30 Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin signed an executive order Tuesday calling for a $38.9 million reduction in state spending by June 30 in order to maintain a balanced state budget. State Revenue Secretary Bob Kiss said the budget cut will be joined with other steps to make up a projected $70 million revenue shortfall. “The State has seen some revenue challenges this year in terms of weaker-than-anticipated tax collections, but we’ve planned for this scenario since the start of the fiscal year beginning with Governor Tomblin’s insight to continue the hiring freeze,” Kiss said in a statement released late Tuesday. “Beyond that, we set aside funds to help close our anticipated gap and we will utilize them to minimize this reduction in expenditures. Given the economy, we are right in the middle of where we estimated we’d end up and it’s important to keep in mind that $70 million out of a $4.25 billion general revenue budget is a small number by comparison.” 2015-2016 BOARD OF DIRECTORS BALLOTS TO BE SENT TO CONTRACTOR MEMBERS Contractor members will receive an official ballot for election of officers and directors of the CAWV for 2015-2016. For each office, the nominee with the largest vote will be declared elected at the association's General Business Session at the Annual Meeting, July 19-12, at The Greenbrier, White Sulphur Springs. Please mark and return the ballot by July 3, 2015. AGC WEBINAR: THE NEW CONFINED SPACES IN CONSTRUCTION: WHAT’S DIFFERENT? AGC of America is offering a free webinar on June 23 from 2:00-3:00 P.M. The new confined spaces in construction standard is similar in content and organization to the general industry confined spaces standard, but also incorporates several provisions from the proposed rule to address construction-specific hazards, accounts for advancements in technology, and incorporates letters of interpretation issued for the general industry standard. This webinar is the first of a two part webinar series. Members can learn the key differences between the construction standard and the general industry standard which many in the construction industry implemented to some degree. The speaker will be Jessica Douma, regulatory analyst, directorate of construction for OSHA. To register for the webinar, click here.

Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) this week introduced the AGCbacked Construction Consensus Procurement Improvement Act, and included the legislation as an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act to prohibit federal agencies from procuring construction services through reverse auctions. Members are urged to contact Sen. Joe Manchin and Sen. Shelley Moore Capito to co-sponsor the bill and support this amendment. To use AGC of America’s Action Center, click here. Both the bill and amendment are identical. In addition to addressing reverse auctions, this legislation would reform design-build procurement--reasonably limiting the second-step designbuild shortlist and reasonably limiting one-step design-build procurements--and helping prevent individual sureties from using illusory assets--i.e., vacation homes, coal mine waste--to back their bonds. As co-chair of the Construction Industry Procurement Coalition, AGC and its coalition allies sent members of the Senate a letter urging them to support the amendment to the Defense Act. The Senate could consider this amendment either this week or next. The House already passed its version of the Defense Act, which included provisions prohibiting construction reverse auctions and requiring individual sureties to use real assets to back their bonds. FAYETTE COUNTY TO VOTE ON SCHOOL BOND LEVY SATURDAY, JUNE 13 The people of Fayette County, WV are expected to make their voices heard Saturday, June 13 in a vote that has divided communities with residents who have strong opinions. A county-wide election will take place throughout Fayette County to give voters the opportunity to vote for or against a school bond levy. The county has not passed a school bond levy since 1973. Recent support in favor of a bond has been low. Two bonds that failed — in 2001 and 2009 — received only 13.8 percent and 23 percent of the vote in favor of a bond, respectively. In the past several months, dozens of public meetings have been scheduled in efforts to educate the public and help voters sort out all angles of the issue. If approved, at least two new schools will be built and others renovated. Fayetteville and Meadow Bridge high schools have been recommended for consolidation with Midland Trail High School. The $38.9 million bond was published on the Fayette County Board of Education website March 17. The bond can be viewed here. Polls will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. June 13. Article reprinted from The State Journal. CAWV encourages members in Fayette County to vote for the bond.

Finding topics to discuss every day or every week can be difficult. But, the value of getting the work crew together frequently and talking about safety and health issues is one of the most important functions a supervisor can perform. Taking time at the beginning of the week or at the start of a new project to talk to employees about safety is good business. The first thing to accomplish is establishing the importance of safety and health to the employees. Workers need to know that the company cares and is committed to providing the safest workplace environment possible. This is also the time to stress the company’s commitment and policy of SAFETY FIRST. Don’t limit regular safety meeting discussions to only the labor force. One way to find topics to relate to is to encourage employees to participate by bringing up ideas for improving safety. There are plenty of safety topics around every day on a typical construction project. Staying focused on the ever changing construction activities of any project is a must. It is equally important that all the job site leaders meet to discuss issues of safety affecting their individual daily project activity. Keeping supervisors, foremen and managers attention on safety each day by conducting frequent safety meetings to address planned activity is a very valuable tool to eliminate risks to employees and reduces costs associated with accidents. Making notes of issues discussed and the corrective action taken is mandatory. Keeping safety meeting discussions documented will satisfy OSHA requirements that employees are instructed on current safety issues related to the project. Well documented safety meetings can be one of the most effective tools toward accident reduction, cost control and promotion of a safe project.

House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) will convene a June 17 hearing on the “Long-Term Financing of the Highway Trust Fund.” Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) has also scheduled a June 18 hearing entitled “Dead End, No Turn Around, Danger Ahead: Challenges to the Future of Highway Funding.” The tax-writing Ways & Means and Finance committees have jurisdiction over the HTF’s spending authority and revenue streams. In announcing the hearing, Ryan said, “The roads and bridges that keep our economy moving rely on a highly unsustainable financing system. Solving this challenge for the long term will require us to think big, and I look forward to exploring new ideas to close the shortfall once and for all.” Similarly, Hatch noted, “While many in Congress agree we should aim for a long-term highway bill, the problem is often agreeing on how to pay for it.” The Finance Committee last held a HTF revenue hearing May 6, 2014. While Chairman Ryan and other members of Congress claim the trust fund’s revenue stream is unsustainable, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects annual revenue will remain constant for the next eight years before they start to gradually decline—largely due to implementation of new fuel economy standards. According to the CBO, the Highway Trust Fund requires an additional $16 billion annually just to maintain current levels of highway and public transportation investment. HOUSE APPROVES TRANSPORTATION FUNDING BILL This week, by a vote of 216-210, the House approved the FY 2016 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development (THUD) appropriations bill. The bill includes funding for the Department of Transportation, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and other related agencies. The legislation assumes that Congress will take action to provide the necessary revenue for the Highway Trust Fund to support the highway and transit funding levels, noted below. Total transportation spending in the bill is $55.3 billion – an increase of $1.5 billion above fiscal year 2015 and $9.7 billion below the president’s budget request. The bill provides $40.25 billion from the Highway Trust Fund for the Federal-aid Highway Program and $10.7 billion for the Federal Transit Administration, including $8.6 billion for formula grants and $1.9 billion for Capital Investments Grants, known as “New Starts.” These transit capital grants were decreased 9.4 percent from the FY 2015 level of $2.12 billion. Additionally, the legislation funds TIGER grants at $100 million – $400 million below fiscal year 2015 and $1.15 billion below the president’s request. An AGC-supported amendment was also included which requires the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to study the impact of its truck driver Hours-of-Service 34-hour reset provision (requiring a qualifying restart to include two consecutive off-duty periods between 1:00 A.M. and 5:00 A.M. and limiting its use to once per week). The bill requires that the study, “demonstrate statistically significant improvement in all outcomes related to safety, operator fatigue, and driver health and longevity” before reinstating the 34-hour restart limitations. Since the rulemaking, limited data has shown that the new restrictions on the use of the 34-hour restart provision resulted in increased daytime truck traffic. The Senate may take up its version of the legislation next week. STATE ROAD FUNDS TURN UPWARDS IN MAY For the second time this fiscal year, revenues for the State Road Fund are showing a positive trend. Total dedicated State Road Fund collections through May are $664.8 million.
