SIMULATED WORKPLACE - Contractors Association of West Virginia
Newsletter 2013-50 December 13, 2013 MEMBERS NEEDED TO PARTNER WITH LOCAL SCHOOLS ON ‘SIMULATED WORKPLACE’ The CAWV has partnered with the West Virginia Department of Education on a new initiative, “Simulated Workplace.” The new program is designed to set up workplace environments in several career and technical centers throughout the state that have a direct connection to the construction industry. Its vision is to transform students into work-ready employees. “The CAWV Board of Directors voted unanimously at our October meeting to become an active supporter of “Simulated Workplace,” said CAWV President Phil Weser, March-Westin Company, Morgantown. “CAWV members have expressed concern over finding qualified people to augment our retiring workforce. But first, we must get young people interested in a career in construction.” In a Simulated Workplace, traditional classrooms are crafted to emulate company environments, practices and expectations. An important goal of the program is to provide students with an understanding of all aspects of a business and how their success leads to the company’s profitability. “Our role will be to evaluate the various construction career workplaces to determine whether or not the processes and curriculum being delivered in the classroom will result in quality employees,” said President Weser. “This is our opportunity to assist in developing better training centers that will build our future workforces. I encourage all members to get involved with Simulated Workplace in the schools in their area.” Members who participate will be asked to view a short on-line training session to learn how to use their expertise to rate the program and then spend one day at the school evaluating that school’s program. It would be good to have three to five members per school. Attached to this week’s Newsletter is a brochure on how members can become involved in Simulated Workplace, including a map showing which career and technical centers are participating and a form for members to sign up. To get more information, contact Pat McDonald at 304-342-1166 or [email protected] CAWV TO PARTICIPATE IN GOVERNOR’S WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE The West Virginia’s Board of Education’s “Re-imaging Instructional Time Committee,” chaired by Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, met this week at the State Capitol. Gov. Tomblin invited the CAWV to participate in the committee to get input on the development of a construction-related curriculum at state vocational education schools and community and technical colleges. The Governor noted that with the recent announcements of a possible cracker plant in Wood County, the Carbonyx plant in Jackson County, the Piertro Fiorentini plant in Weirton and the planned expansion of the Sogefi auto parts plant in Wayne County, skilled construction workers and engineers will be in high demand. The Governor stated he thinks other industries will be interested in moving to West Virginia to serve the cracker plant which will create even more demand for skilled workers. Also at the meeting were the deans of WVU, WVU-IT and Marshall University engineering schools, the chancellor of the state’s community and technical colleges, and State Education Superintendent James Phares, along with representatives of labor and economic development agencies. The purpose of the committee is to get high schools, career and technical schools, two-year colleges and four-year universities to work with industry to make sure the curriculum being offered will result in strong workforce for the future. Governor Tomblin charged the committee to develop relationships with companies that are doing business or expanding in West Virginia to get a better grasp on what their workforce needs are now and what they will be in the near future. “We must develop a plan to meet those needs in order to continue attracting businesses to West Virginia,” the Governor stated. “With the recent announcement from Odebrecht on plans to build a cracker plant in Wood County, plus the other announced investments, we need to focus on replacing our current workers and preparing for the possibility these developments will create thousands of construction and permanent jobs in spin-off industries for years to come,” said CAWV President Phil Weser. “The CAWV stands ready to help develop the curriculum and assisting with handson, real-world training in order to aid in developing a skilled workforce,” he said. OSHA 10-HOUR BILL INTRODUCED IN LABOR COMMITTEE The Labor and Worker Safety Issues Committee meeting at this month’s legislative interim meetings introduced a draft of a bill to require all construction workers to complete the OSHA 10-Hour safety training program before working on a project. The bill, which has been defeated in the last three legislative sessions, has been debated since the creation of the Labor Committee in June. The draft has been modified from previous years. The proposed bill requires all employees on a construction project over $50,000 to complete the OSHA 10-Hour course within 10 days of employment. Previous bills dealt only with publicly-funded construction projects and the employee had to complete the course prior to starting on the job. The new bill exempts single unit family home or any multi-family units two stories or less in height. This bill requires records of employees’ training to be maintained in the employer’s business office rather than submitting the records with the certified payrolls. The Commissioner of Labor may assess a civil penalty of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000 to any person or business who violates the training requirements. Previous bills allowed the commissioner to assess a civil penalty of up to $3,000, per day, for noncompliance. If the legislature passes the bill, this version states that for the first year after the legislation is enacted, completion of the 10-Hour safety program shall occur within 90 days of employment at the site in order to give contractors time to get their workforce trained. It is anticipated the Labor Committee will introduce the bill in the 2014 legislative session. The CAWV has opposed the bill in the past because many contractors use site-specific safety training instead of the generic OSHA 10 program. Previous bills have also been onerous to contractors as it relates to fines and enforcement. Members who would like to receive a copy of the bill can contact the CAWV. In other action during the December interim meetings, Marvin Murphy, assistant deputy secretary of the WV Division of Highways, spoke before the Select Committee on Infrastructure. He presented priority lists for Category 1 and 2 bridge replacement projects. He also presented the bridge repair list. Legislators had a number of questions of how funding is divided among the ten highway districts. Mr. Murphy noted lane miles make up the biggest portion of funding followed by historical data. Lawmakers questioned how they could get their requests for road maintenance and repair addressed. Mr. Murphy stated contacting the district is the most direct route, although legislators said they at times they had to call the central office to get an answer. Subcommittee A of the Government Organization Committee, which has been discussing state purchasing procedures, presented a draft bill to modify purchasing policies. The draft does not appear to alter procedures for procuring government construction contracts. Judiciary Subcommittee B heard a presentation from Miss Utility of West Virginia on expanding the onecall notification system for other underground pipeline facilities, especially those associated with horizontal well drilling. This was the last interim meeting of the year. The 2014 Regular Session of the West Virginia Legislature convenes Wednesday, January 8, at noon. The Governor’s State of the State address is at 7:00 p.m. MAKE PLANS NOW TO ATTEND TRANSPORTATION DAY - JANUARY 9 West Virginians for Better Transportation (WVBT) will be hosting “Transportation Day at the State Capitol” on Thursday, January 9, 2014.

CONTRACTORS “CAN” HELP THIS HOLIDAY SEASON Monday, December 16, radio station WQBE, in conjunction with Kroger and other partners, will be launching the annual WQBE/Kroger Food Drive to help eradicate hunger this holiday season. The Union Mission has a goal to collect food for as many as 40,000 needy people ahead of the Christmas holiday. Food will be collected through Friday, December 20, at area Kroger Stores. The food collected will be distributed by Union Mission on Saturday, December 21, as they stage a massive food distribution across 38 outreach sites in 19 counties. Food boxes with enough food to last several days will be handed out to families at a time when over 17.5% of West Virginians are living in poverty. Members from IVS Group and the CAWV will be on hand Monday morning starting at 6:00 a.m. at the Dunbar Kroger along with WQBE radio station personalities who often acknowledge contributions on the air. Stop by and make a difference in the lives of needy West Virginia families. Members unable to make it to a Kroger location can drop off donations at the CAWV headquarters.

WVU received responses for the Invitation for Qualifications (IFQ) for design-build teams. They were: Mascaro, Massaro, Gilbane, P.J. Dick, ABEL and Astorino. Based on the scoring, four firms were selected to submit proposals. They were: Astorino, Mascaro, P.J. Dick and Gilbane. The technical review committee at WVU Thursday evaluated the four and determined the Gilbane’s proposal had a missing portion that was required. The review committee did not score Gilbane. The scores, which the West Virginia Design Build Board affirmed are: Mascaro – 90.5; Astorino – 82; and P.J.Dick – 70.6. Under West Virginia’s design-build statute, the owner shall publicly open and read aloud the sealed cost proposals that met the minimum qualitative proposal score of 70. The lowest cost proposed shall be assigned a score of 100. Other cost scores shall be arrived at by the following formula: (Lowest cost proposed divided by cost being evaluated) x 100 = Cost Score. To determine the successful design-build proposal, the total of the weighted qualitative and cost scores shall be added to arrive at a total score. WVU will open the cost proposals Monday. The Design Build Board is meeting Thursday, December 19, to review the costs. After that, WVU will award the project. In a related matter, Richard Forren AIA, principal in Omni Associates – Architects, Fairmont, has been appointed to the board to represent the architectural community. He replaces Don Gombert who recently passed away.

Christmas is here in a few short days and there are lots of activities going on which can act as distractions to our work. “Did that present we order arrive on time?” “Did we forget to invite anyone to Christmas dinner?” “What was I supposed to bring to that Christmas party?” It is a challenge to stay focused at work during this time of year. So, this is when it is especially important to take four seconds for safety. When you find yourself working away and your thoughts running wild with all the plans and activities of Christmas, STOP, take those four short seconds to look around and come back to the present moment. Look for a hazard in the middle of your activity. Are you standing on a ladder? Are you in an awkward position or about to trip on something lying on the floor? Hazards do not go away. Only our awareness of the hazards goes away. And when we ignore hazards, we tend to get injured. Christmas injuries tend to put extra stress on everyone. Imagine yourself sitting around the Christmas table in a leg cast because you fell off a ladder or tripped over something. Unfortunately, these stories are more common that all of us might admit. Injuries at Christmas seem to magnify how many people are affected by an injury to one person. How many people count on you each day to come home safely? If you add them all up you might be surprised. Taking four seconds for safety may seem unimportant to you yet it is the one activity, the one action you might take during a busy and distracted day which will have the most benefit in keeping you safe. Think of it as your Christmas present to yourself. In fact, you can think of each of those people who would be affected by an injury to you every time you take four seconds to refocus. Think about this when you are about to drive away to some gathering this Christmas. The noise, the excitement, the distraction! Take a moment, take a big breath, count slowly to four, then drive away. Chances are that you will arrive safely once you focus for those four seconds. Again, “Merry Christmas” to everyone from the CAWV staff. May the Blessings of this season warm the hearts of you and your families.

House members are developing the WIFIA bill in response to the Senate’s WIFIA provisions contained in the Senate Water Resources Development ACT (WRDA) that is currently subject to House and Senate Conference negotiations on the WRDA measure. Clean Water Construction Coalition, of which CAWV is a member, has been actively working with Congressional representatives and Committee staff to include specific language in the House WIFIA bill that will address Coalition concerns with the WIFIA component of the Senate WRDA measure. The following are the coalition’s specific concerns: (1) All projects should be funded at 100% Federal share. Given the fact that this is a loan program whereby the Federal Government will not only be repaid, and repaid with interest, but will also reap the environmental and economic benefits that these projects bring to the nation, a 100% Federal share should apply to all projects that would be eligible for WIFIA funding. Some versions of WIFIA legislation limit the Federal share to as low as 49%. (2) There should be flexibility in setting loan interest rates. Most versions of WIFIA proposals specify that the rate of interest charged shall not be less than the prevailing Treasury rate. While we support that as a general rule, we request that there also be language included giving the administrator of the WIFIA program the flexibility to set rates at lower levels should a given project meet certain criteria such as the return on investment that it brings. (3) Any total project cost de minimus requirement should be eliminated. Most versions limit WIFIA funding to projects with a total cost of at least $20 million. Many projects do not reach that threshold and should not be penalized by the imposition of some arbitrary number that undercuts potential public policy gains. The Clean Water Construction Coalition representatives will continue to work with House members on this issue.

This number compares to the 2012 figure of 360 projects totaling $452.7 million and the 2011 figure of 427 projects at $508.7 million. This represents a 23 percent drop in the total dollars obligated in 2013 compared to the previous year. The CAWV figure may be different than WVDOH’s total since the division incorporates emergency work, WVDOH employee performed construction and purchase order contracts in their construction totals. The CAWV data tracks low bids on contracts let to bid, which is a good barometer for measuring how much work is actually performed by contractors. This data is always available monthly in the CAWV Highway Bulletin or on the website at www.cawv.org. Below is a breakdown of construction since 2000. The highway program peaked in 2008 at $646 million and has averaged over $500 million except for the past two years. The Governor’s Blue Ribbon Commission on Highways has been looking at measures to provide additional funding for the WV Division of Highways.

He responded to recent new articles that Route 35 was about to begin construction as a PPP project. Secretary Mattox noted Governor Tomblin’s PPP bill that passed this year’s legislative session “gives the WVDOH a lot of flexibility” to utilize PPP for transportation projects. The secretary said he views PPPs as a procurement tool instead of as a financing mechanism. “We can use PPP to procure big, expansive projects by starting them now and pay the contractors back over time.” He told viewers the DOH would spell out up front to bidders how much they would be paid over a set period of time, perhaps three to five years. Secretary Mattox said the division is working with a PPP advisory group to determine how the process would work. (The WVDOH has hired the New York law firm, Allen & Overy, LLP, as its advisor.) Bray Cary, president and CEO of West Virginia Media Holdings who operates The State Journal and various TV stations, noted the work of the Governor’s Blue Ribbon Commission is trying to figure out how to fund roads but has repeatedly criticized any plan that calls for tax or fee increases. While he said he would like to see the final 14.5 miles of Route 35 upgraded to four lane, Cary cautioned that the state cannot be “spending tomorrow’s dollars.” “There has to be diligence,” he said. “We need to take a practical approach because we cannot be spending future dollars today.” Members can listen to the full interview on The State Journal website under “Decision Makers” or by clicking here. ARTBA, CHAPTERS, MEMBERS PRESENT DBE CONCERNS TO U.S. DOT Several ARTBA and AGC of America chapters and contractor-members appeared at the U.S. Department of Transportation's "listening session" on proposed changes to the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program. Among other issues, several outlined their concerns over proposals to require prime contractors to include full information on DBE subcontractors with their bids. Rich Juliano, ARTBA's senior vice president for strategic initiatives, previewed the results of a recent contractor survey showing that many of the Department's proposed rule changes would add significant new costs to bids. In addition, 42 percent of survey respondents expected to bid on less federal-aid work if these revisions take effect.
