Tales FromThe MoneyTrail

[email protected]@sullicurt.com

E C A M A G A Z I N E 66 A P R I L 2 0 1 5

CA has been hitting the money

trail this year, searching for

sources of funding for water and

sewer projects in our 12-county area.

We have been in Sacramento, city

halls and county courthouses, mak-

ing the case for more spending on underground infrastructure to

meet critical needs in our region. Nobody has been disputing

the need but a strange dichotomy of reasons why the funding is

hard to get has surfaced.

Big governments have big money, but many of them are

using funds that should go to projects for their own internal

purposes – paying their staff and favored outside consultants,

often former staff members – instead of putting the money in the

ground in terms of pipe and treatment plants.

Small cities, where the need for clean water and strong

sewer systems are the greatest, are so broke they can't afford

the minimal concept studies to establish the paperwork for

grants, money that doesn't have to be repaid.

Environmental Impacts

Everywhere we go we find the efforts of environmental

organizations, often more interested in suing agencies than in

solving the infrastructure problems. This should not come as a

surprise as many enivro groups are thinly disguised law firms

who get paid for their services in settlement fees. Take for

example the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC)

which successfully sued L. A. County last year over stormwater

issues. NRDC has some 300 attorneys on their staff; that's a lot

of legal mouths to feed.

We have found a lot of fear and loathing for these environ-

mental monstrosities at every level of government. Money that

could go into projects is, instead, spent on both inside and

outside counsel to defend the agencies.

A Road Less Traveled

We have been following a different path on the money trail

for infrastructure funding. We are applying reason and providing

expertise where it will avail. ECA's Political Action Committee is

busy supporting candidates for office who support infrastructure

projects. Our Government Affairs Committee is working in

partnership with other associations to pass legislation to under-

write this work or relieve the regulatory burden on projects.

In partnership with the trade unions in our field we are bring-

ing new resources to the table for the small cities and water

districts. With private financial resources, together we are

offering seed money for studies and eventually funding for

projects.

Many of these efforts are coming to the deciding point this

year and we will keep you informed when they do. D

Water DistrictsNeed FinancingHelp

he question of cost is coming up at local water district meet-

ings across southern California. How much could you pay for sewer construction? How much for clean water? Our question has been “how can ECA help?” and it's one we ask

all the time.

If you use public funds you often have to seek public ap-proval for that funding – bond issues, rate hikes and property assessments – all are up to voter approval. That takes a lot of selling these days, especially for a water district with just over 10,000 customers and a $150 million sewer project to build.

That is the case for the Yucca Valley with the Hi-Desert Water District and it involves two sales efforts – one to the State Water Resources Control Board and one to local prop-erty owners.

As always in our business, the process starts with funding. In this case the water district is going to the State Water Re-sources Control board for money from the state revolving fund for sewer projects. The district will be asking the state board to approve the loan with an even lower interest rate than the current recommendation by the state board's staff of one percent.

If the loan is approved by the SWRCB (anticipated at the March 17 meeting – but stuff happens) property owners will be voting on the assessment district by April 1. The property owners have 45 days to return their ballots, so sometime in mid-May the district will know if they made the sale.

The assessment district approach gives property owners a financing plan to pay back their assessments over 30 years on their property taxes. Cost for a single family residence for the new sewer line is estimated at $18,190, plus additional costs for individual connections.

Property owners can find out how much they will owe in the wastewater assessment district proposed by Hi-Desert Water District. The proposed assessments are listed on a link at http://protectgroundwater.org/assessment-info.

The website also offers a link to the final version of the as-sessment district engineer's report, approved by the Hi-Desert Water District's board of directors in February. In the report, property owners will find information on how each property's shared cost of the sewer project was calculated.

It's a long sale, with lots of steps, but it is exactly the kind on project producing work ECA is, with our team of qualified companies and our partners in organized labor, are working

on. D

Trying forThe TriplePlay

etting funding for public

works projects is like trying

for a triple-play in baseball – you

have to touch all the bags in the in-

field – working at the federal, state

and local level.

In the case of getting money for

highway work you have to start in Washington where the current

short-term extension of MAP-21 expires at the end of May.

While House and Senate committees are drafting policy provi-

sions for a potential long-term reauthorization bill, their hands

are tied until Congress determines how to fund the growing gap

in the Highway Trust Fund (HTF) revenues.

Congress will either have to once again transfer billions in

General Fund revenues (even just to maintain the current flat

funding levels) or find others sources of revenue. While industry

continues to advocate strongly for a gas tax increase and the

number of members of Congress who publically support an in-

crease grows day by day, strong opposition by key players such

as Speaker John Boehner and House Ways and Means Chair

Paul Ryan make it clear that an increase is politically unlikely.

Another option that is gaining considerable interest is fund-

ing the HTF with new tax revenue from various forms of corpo-

rate tax reform. The Administration has proposed a plan as part

of its FY'16 budget request. The odd couple of Senators Rand

Paul (R-KY) and Barbara Boxer (D-CA) recently unveiled a pro-

posal to permit US firms to repatriate overseas earnings at a

much lower tax rate with the resulting new tax revenue going to

the HTF.

Compared to the Obama Administration's plan, the Paul-

Boxer plan uses a lower tax rate, is a standalone proposal that

doesn't involve a total corporate tax rewrite, and allows compa-

nies to choose whether to bring overseas earnings back to the

U.S., unlike the mandatory tax in the President's plan.

However, while some form of corporate tax reform might re-

sult in billions for the HTF and other infrastructure programs, it

would be a one-time fix, not a long-term, sustainable source of

revenue.

It could also result in Congress feeling they have "fixed" the

revenue problem and not be interested in revisiting the issue

when the new money runs out. The biggest issue regarding a

tax reform fix for the HTF is whether it could pass as a stand-

alone bill, which could potentially occur this spring or summer in

time to fund a MAP-21 reauthorization bill, or whether it could

only pass as part of a comprehensive corporate tax reform bill. D

The history of the Shea family of companies began modestly enough in 1881 when company founder John F. Shea established a small plumbing business in Portland, Oregon. From those humble beginnings, his sons and their sons after them built the J.F. Shea Company into one of the largest privately held home builders in the nation.

At the core of this family network of influential companies is J.F. Shea Construction, Inc. – one of today’s largest and most respected civil contractors in the nation. The construction company’s legacy of milestone achievements include the building of the Golden Gate Bridge, Hoover Dam, and San Francisco’s Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system.

Industry Digest

Public Works ContractorRegistration Now in Effect

If you want to bid a public works project this month you must be registered with the California Department of Industrial Rela-tions (DIR); if you are working on a public works project that started after April 1 those registration requirements apply—if you're not registered be prepared to be thrown off the job.

It's really that simple…Be registered with the DIR or stop work-ing on any project that has any public money attached to it.

We have been reporting on this requirement since last fall and know that most ECA members who depend on public works pro-jects have complied with the regulations put forth under new Labor Code sections 1725.5 and 1771.1.

The real rub will now come as you find out whether your sub-contractors and suppliers are legal. This list of potential problems could be quite long. It includes people who don't usually have con-tractor licenses, like operated and maintained equipment rental companies and even truckers and their brokers.

It's likely to be a mess. If they attempt to bid to you now or work on a job site without registration, they can and will be tossed off the job site when public works inspectors start checking for paperwork on these new rules. You can check the registration sta-tus of any company by going here: https://efiling.dir.ca.gov/ PWCR/Search .

What About the Other Guys?

What to do now?

At best, you should tell all your subcontractors and other sup-pliers who have people on the job (truckers, etc.) site to register immediately and supply you with proof of registration. They can do so online at https://efiling.dir.ca.gov/PWCR/ActionServlet? action=displayPWCRegistrationForm . The registration process requires a $300 fee and they must certify that they meet the fol-lowing minimum qualifications:

! They are licensed with the Contractors State License Board, if applicable to trade.

! They have current of workers' compensation coverage.

! They have no delinquent unpaid wage or penalty assess-ments owed to any employee or enforcement agency.

! They are not under federal or state debarment.If they are unable or unwilling to meet these requirements you

must be prepared to replace them, notifying the project owner that you are doing so under the new registration requirements, Labor Code section 1771.1 that states that not being registered is a grounds for substitution under Public Contract Code section 4107 and cancellation of a subcontract.

Stay tuned…and make sure to renew your registration before

it expires, June 30, 2015! D

claim – that CARB's state regulation was directly violating a federal law, the envi-ronmental groups opposed our request for a preliminary injunction, and the court delayed issuing a decision for many months,” Rackovajc added. “ More dis-appointing is the fact that our lawsuit never directly challenged the federal Clean Air Act (CAA) or U.S. EPA's adop-tion of California's State Implementation Plan (SIP).”

At the time the truckers sued CARB, the agency was acting under state law – not federal law as claimed by the NRDC. Once the U.S. EPA approved the SIP, the NRDC waited nearly two months to in-form the court of that fact. When the is-sue of the CAA and the SIP was injected into the case, the court subsequently concluded that a 60-day procedural clock started ticking in which to file a direct petition to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals challenging adoption of CARB's regulations into the SIP and approved by the U.S. EPA essentially “federalizing” a state regulation. The 60-day period had already run at the time the court ruled that the lawsuit “implicitly” challenged the SIP.

Arguing that CARB regulations are U.S. EPA regulations (federalized) runs counter to the CAA, which does not give the U.S. EPA regulatory authority over in-use equipment.

“Thus, once the court decided the association was challenging the SIP, the time for filing a direct peti-tion in the Ninth Circuit had al-ready passed, and the court was able to, after the fact, declare all the courthouse doors closed to us,” Ra jkovacz ex-plained. “There-fore, we are work-ing with our law-yers to take this fight to the next level. We will defi-nitely appeal, and

The oft-overturned appeals court (70+ percent of its decisions are re-versed when brought to the Supreme Court) said CCTA failed to meet a timeli-ness burden regarding a legal theory flank attack from third party environmen-tal group lawyers. So, CCTA says it will appeal the decision to the U. S. Supreme Court.

The court's decision is disappointing but not surprising, according to a CCTA press release. At virtually every step of the way, well-funded environmental groups united with CARB to delay the case and prevented the courts from hearing the merits of our federal preemp-tion argument.

“Our argument is simple,” said Joe Rajkovacz, CCTA's director of govern-ment affairs. “Congress enacted a law (Federal Aviation Administration Authori-zation Act or FAAAA) to prevent states from regulating the trucking industry, and the CARB rule does exactly what Con-gress has prohibited.”

As a result, small mom-and-pop trucking businesses, most of whom are owner-operators, are being forced out-of-business by the costly rule. Those that can afford to purchase new trucks to comply with the rule will inevitably have to pass on their costs to the consumers who purchase the goods transported by our members (this cost pass through as a result of state law is an example of a violation of the FAAAA prohibition against state laws affecting the price, routes and services of motor carriers).

“Through procedural maneuvering, the massive legal teams at CARB and the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) have continued to deny justice to those being unfairly injured by the CARB rule,” Rajkovacz said.

“Rather than deal with our single

CCTA to Take CARB SuitTo U.S. Supreme Court

it may be that only the highest court in the land can give truck owners the justice they deserve.”

“Our fight continues to be critical for the trucking industry, both within Califor-nia and nationally. At this point, with this litigation the CCTA is no longer just fight-ing against CARB's onerous Truck and Bus Rule, we are fighting for a precedent that will block CARB and every other state from enacting existing CARB regu-lations and even more burdensome environmental rules that will devastate the trucking industry. On behalf of our membership, CCTA pledges to continue on in this ongoing battle,” Rajkovacz concluded.

CCTA is a 501(c) (6) nonprofit trade association incorporated in 1941. CCTA's over 1,000 member companies and another 5,000 affiliated member motor carriers engage in multiple modes of trucking operations from construction related to general freight operations. Their diversified group of member motor carriers operates in intrastate, interstate, and foreign commerce. Their members operate many different types and classes of commercial motor vehicles, including dump trucks, concrete pump-ers and mixers, water trucks, port and border dray trucks, heavy-haul trucks, and class 8 over-the-road tractors. Mem-ber companies range in size from one-truck owner-operators to fleets with more than 350 trucks.

Construction is running 18-months behind where the High Speed Rail Au-thority hoped it would be when it awarded the Fresno-Madera contract in mid-2013, but for a change it's not the contractor's fault. This represents the next chapter in the California saga un-der of the law of large projects—they always take more time and money that projected.

In fact, prime contractor Tutor Perini, is in discussions with the rail authority about compensation for delays in the company's ability to start construction on the project. Mobilization costs including moving equipment to the project and keeping the construction team together are running in excess of $40 million a year. The problem is extremely slow land acquisition for the planned route. Some buildings have been demolished along the route, and some utility relocation work has begun in downtown Fresno, but substantial construction has yet to begin.

The authority says it spent about $92 million over the past year and a half to buy the land it needs for bullet-train right of way in the central San Joaquin Valley.

A pair of reports presented to the rail agency's finance and audit committee

March 10th, in Sacramento, detailed the rates at which money is being spent and property is being secured for the first two construction sections — and how those rates are affecting progress on the initial stages of the statewide rail line.

The first report on total spending on the rail program shows that the rail au-thority spent about $60.2 million on right-of-way acquisition in the 2013-14 fiscal year, which ended last June. That's in addition to about $13 million that the agency paid to consultants and support firms for right of way services—roughly 22 percent of the eminent domain costs.

Of more than $223 million forecast to be spent on property for California's high-speed train project in 2014-15, only about $32 million was spent through the first seven months. Of more than 1,000 pieces of land needed in Madera, Fresno, Kings and Tulare counties, only 108 have been secured for construction.

There is a serious risk of the loss of $3.2 billion in federal funds for the initial 130 miles of the project because if the state fails to spend grants by the 2017 deadline, it goes away and the current Congress is unlikely to extend the dead-

line. DAdvertiser’s Index

Gas tax to drop 6-cents per gallon July 1The California State Board of Equal-

ization voted unanimously February 25th in a meeting in Culver City to reduce the state's excise tax on gasoline by six cents, from 36 cents to 30 cents. The excise tax on diesel fuel will rise by two cents, from 11 to 13 cents.

Current law (Revenue and Taxation Code 6051.8, 6201.8 and 60050, com-monly referred to as the "fuel tax swap") increases the sales and use tax imposed on diesel fuel by 1. 75 percentage points in 2015-16, and requires the Board to adjust the $0.18 per gallon excise tax on diesel so that the total amount of reve-nue raised (by estimation) is unchanged.

BOE staff developed forecasts for both the price and consumption of diesel fuel which project that the revenue gain would be $141 million and therefore, calculated that an excise tax of $0.13 per gallon would lead to an equivalent reve-nue loss that would offset the additional sales tax rate on diesel.

The tax changes will take effect July 1. The changes will impact an already threatened Caltrans budget which de-pends on fuel taxes for roughly half of its

funding. Board Vice Chair George Run-ner (R-First District) had argued for a 7.5 cent gas tax decrease and criticized what he called a “bizarrely complex” gas tax system in California.

In 2010, state legislators introduced a “fuel tax swap,” offering an increase in the state excise tax in exchange for elim-ination of most of the sales tax on gaso-line. The move allowed legislators to pull about a billion dollars in funding from the state's transportation budget for other state budget needs. It also mandated the BOE to adjust the state excise tax by March 1st of each year, raising or lower-ing the tax to replace what would have been generated by fuel sales tax reve-nues. The recent decline in oil prices set the reduction in motion, but refinery problems, the California Carbon Tax from the Air Resources Board and stabi-lization in the oil markets virtually guar-antee that consumers will never receive the benefit of the tax reduction.

Runner said, “But even after this tax cut takes effect July 1, Californians will continue to pay more gas taxes...than residents in nearly every other state.” D

CA's Safety Forum met Friday,

March 6th to experience a newly

constructed Confined Space Train-

ing Simulator at J.F. Shea's yard in

Fontana.

The Forum members were taught

why confined spaces can be danger-

ous, watched live confined space res-

cue demonstrations and learned how

to use some of the equipment involved

including air monitors and Self Con-

tained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA).

Two members of the group were

invited to don the equipment and per-

form a mock rescue to see just how

challenging it is. The event wrapped up

with lunch provided by J.F. Shea.

Join UsLearn more about safety in the con-

struction industry through interactive

presentations and demonstrations at

the ECA's Safety Forum. Our group is

actively seeking participation from all

members and is a free benefit for both

contractors and affiliates. Meetings

are normally held from 11 am to 1 pm

on the first Wednesday of each

month…and we'll even provide lunch!
