One thing you can be sure of in business - or life - is things are going to change. For contractors, this means keeping up on the latest changes in rules that govern what you can do; where you can do it; and when it can be done. Just such a change is a hot topic in the ‘pipeline’. Unfortunately, dodg-ing bureaucratic barriers often begins with your business name…

Q: I recently applied for a contractor’s license and my application was rejected. The Contractors Board stated that the business name I want to use was not compatible with the license classification I applied for. Can you look at the letter they sent and give me your opinion as to why they won’t accept my name? I filed a fictitious business name statement with my county and they had no problems.A: The CSLB will disallow a business name if they perceive it to be in conflict with B&P Code Section 7059.1(a). This reads, “A licensee shall not use any business name that indicates the licensee is qualified to perform work in classifi-cations other than those issued for that license, or any busi-ness name that is incompatible with the type of business entity licensed.”

In your case it appears the Board has two problems with your business name. First, you may only use “Construction” by itself with an “A” or “B” classification (you applied for a “C-39”). Second, they do not believe you’re a partnership since the business name only contains your name rather than both- you and your partner. To deal with both these issues, try “John and Jim’s Roofing Construction” rather than just “John’s Construction”.

The fact that you filed a fictitious business name (dba) state-ment with your county is a good thing; however, this has no impact on what the CSLB considers acceptable. For anyone else contemplating a name change of their existing business or filing for a new contractor’s license, please realize that 7059.1 can be somewhat subjective and gives the CSLB a great deal of latitude over which name you can and cannot use. Feel free to give me a quick call to advise on the ‘moni-ker’ you’re considering for your business.

Kalb's Q&A for Contractors By David KalbPresident of Capitol Services, Inc.

Q: We hold a “C-36” license. The majority of the California builders we work with are now requiring fire sprinklers. The problem is they want the plumb-ers to add that to their scope of work or they will find new plumbers that can. My question is how do we go about getting a fire sprinkler license on the quick side of things? We don’t want to lose any business in the today’s tough market.

A: Over the years I have fielded questions about “C-36” contractors wanting to add the “C-16” classification for fire sprinklers. This issue has arisen recently due to the code adoption in 2009 by the California State Building Standards Commission that includes fire sprin-kler requirements in all new one- and two-family homes and townhouses. The new requirement became effective January 1, 2011.

A few decades ago, plumbers could install fire sprinklers. When the law was later changed, there was a limited time period where plumbers were allowed to grandfather into qualifying for the “C-16”. Sorry, you have missed that ‘window’. Today, you’ll need to hire someone who has 4 or more years experience in the Fire Protection trade or currently holds a “C-16” license. Completion of an Application for Additional Classification will be required and I can help make it ‘quick’.

While knowledge is power, knowing where to go for the answers is half the battle. Get expert assistance immediately when you call 866-443-0657, email [email protected], or write me at Capitol Services, Inc., 1225 8th St. Ste. 580, Sacramento, CA 95814.

As End Of Session ApproachesThings Are Getting Ugly!BY: Phil Vermeulen, Legislative Advocate

You know, after 38 years around the halls of the Capitol, I thought I had

seen it all. Regretfully, I must say that I've now witnessed a new "low."

Specifically, while the gutting and amending of a bill at the end of the

session is nothing new, having a "gutted" bill in the closing moments that

is intended to do an end-around the voters' intent most certainly

is not only bad public policy, it reaches a new low even for the Legislature!

As you may recall, the typical way a bill becomes law is to have it introduced at the beginning of

the session. It then must go through at least one policy committee hearing, and then to the

Appropriations Committee if it has a cost to the state. From there, it goes to the Floor in the house

of origin and then the process is repeated in the other house. It then must go back to its house of

origin if there are amendments taken during its journey in the other house (and if not, it then goes

directly to the governor). Upon concurrence to the amendments on the floor of the house of

origin, the bill then goes to the governor.

Under a gut and amend, the bill is typically amended on the floor during the last two weeks of the

session (despite the fact that there are rules in each house that said last Friday was the deadline to

amend bills!!!). The bill, with its new contents, then (may) have a hastily called, special off the floor

hearing of a policy committee and then (possibly) a hastily called Appropriations Committee

hearing. I want to stress, these aforementioned hearings are merely a formality, if they are even

held, (because they can only be done by the party in power, namely the Democrats since 99% of gut

and amends are intended to do an end-around the legislative process) and then it is approved and

sent over to the other house for the same routine. All of this can happen within a few hours to a

few days, but it certainly ISN'T good government, period!

Let's take a closer look at two gut and amends that have taken place this week (and remember,

Monday was a holiday so all of this has transpired since Tuesday!).

SAFETY TOPIC: Demolition Safety Planning

Before the start of any demolition project, careful preparations must be made to ensure the safety of workers on the job and of other individuals within the vicinity of the demolition site. Planning for a demolition project is as important as actually doing the work; and according to Cal-OSHA, a competent person experienced in all phases of the demoli-tion should conduct the demolition planning. Planning should involve the entire demolition operation including methods to be used to bring the structure down, necessary equipment to do the job, and measures to be taken to perform the job safely.

Prior to the start of demolition, an engineering survey must be completed to assess the condition of the framing, floors, and walls to prevent a possible premature collapse of the structure. The demolition contractor is responsible for planning the wreckage of the structure, the equipment to do the work, informing worker of hazards and safety requirements, and public safety. Planning should include necessary safety equipment such as specific respirators, hearing protection, safety nets, lifelines, fall protection, warning signs, eye and face protection, and any other hazard protection device needed for the job.

The engineering survey should determine if there are any chemicals, gases, explosives or flammable materials previ-ously used or stored at the work site, which may still present a hazard. Examples include asbestos containing insulation or lead-based paint used in the initial construction. Service and utility companies should be notified in advance of the demolition. Then before demolition begins, electric, gas, sewer, water, steam, and overhead lines etc. must be located and shut off, capped or controlled. If it’s necessary to maintain some of the services, temporary relocation should be performed and all workers notified of the new locations to avoid accidents.

If blasting is planned, a complete written blasting survey must be made by a qualified person. The survey should include the transportation, storage, and inventory of explosives as well as any fire precautions to be taken. A post-inspection of the area should be conducted after the blast to insure that no hazards remain. Enough time should be allowed for dust, smoke, and fumes to leave the blasted area before allowing re-entry into the site.

Emergency preparation is a crucial element of the demolition planning process. Workers should know how to respond to possible emergency situations and evacuation routes should be devised, explained, and posted. Local medical or emergency responding facilities should be named and posted in a readily accessible location with phone numbers and addresses. First aid and CPR equipment with the names of on-site certified individuals should also be available on-site.

The demolition area should be clearly marked as such to ensure that only authorized personnel are allowed within restricted areas of the site. All site workers or authorized personnel should be dressed in appropriate personal protective wear and be informed of safety practices and emergency procedures.

SAFETY TOPIC: Cómo Efectuar una Demolición Segura

Antes de comenzar cualquier proyecto de demolición, se deben hacer preparativos cuidadosos para asegurar la se-guridad de los trabajadores en el sitio de trabajo, así como la seguridad de las personas en las cercanías del sitio de la demolición. La planificación del proyecto de demolición es tan importante como su ejecución, y según Cal-OSHA, una persona competente y con experiencia en todas las fases de la demolición debe realizar la planificación de la demolición. Esta planificación debe abarcar toda la operación de demolición, incluyendo los métodos para derribar la estructura, el equipo necesario para efectuar el trabajo y las medidas a tomar para ejecutar el trabajo con seguridad.

Antes de comenzar la demolición, es necesario llevar a cabo un estudio de ingeniería para evaluar las condiciones de la estructura, los pisos y las paredes para evitar un derrumbe prematuro de la estructura. El contratista de la demolición es responsable de la planificación del derribo de la estruc-tura, de los equipos necesarios para efectuar el trabajo, de informar a los trabajadores de los peligros y los re-querimientos de seguridad, y de la seguridad pública. La planificación debe incluir los equipos de seguridad necesarios, tales como equipos de respiración, protección para los oídos, redes de seguridad, cuerdas de seguri-dad, protección contra caídas, letreros de aviso, protec-ción para la cara y los ojos, y cualquier otra protección de seguridad que exija el trabajo.

El estudio de ingeniería debe determinar si existen sustancias químicas, gases, materiales explosivos o inflamables, utilizados o almacenados anteriormente en el sitio, que puedan presentar un peligro. Por ejemplo, aislamiento que contenga asbesto o pintura a base de plomo utilizada en la construcción original. Se debe notificar de antemano la demolición a las empresas de servicios públicos. Y antes de comenzar la demolición, es necesario ubicar las líneas de electricidad, gas, alcantarillado, agua, vapor y líneas elevadas y apagarlas, cerrarlas, taparlas o controlarlas. Si es necesario mantener el uso de algunos de los servicios, se deben reubicar temporalmente y notificar a todos los trabajadores de la nueva ubicación para evitar accidentes.Si se planea el uso de explosivos, es obligatorio que una persona calificada haga un estudio completo por escrito de la demolición con explosivos. El estudio debe incluir el transporte, almacenaje e inventario de los explosivos, al igual que cualquier precaución a tomar contra los incendios. Se deberá hacer una inspección final después de terminada la de-molición para asegurar que no quede ningún peligro. Se debe dejar suficiente tiempo para que el polvo, humo y va-pores se disipen del área de la explosión antes de permitir que entren personas al sitio.

Los preparativos de emergencia son un elemento crucial del proceso de planificación de la demolición. Los trabajadores deben saber cómo responder a situaciones de emergencia y se deben planificar, explicar y publicar las rutas de evacu-ación. Los centros médicos o de emergencia locales deben indicarse y anunciarse en un sitio de fácil acceso con los números de teléfono y las direcciones correspondientes. También debe haber disponibles en el sitio de trabajo equipos de primeros auxilios y de reanimación cardiopulmonar (RCP), junto con los nombres de las personas certificadas en su uso.

El área de la demolición deberá estar claramente marcada como tal para asegurar que sólo se permita la entrada del personal autorizado al área restringida del sitio. Todos los trabajadores y personal autorizados deberán usar los equi-pos de protección apropiados y estar informados sobre las prácticas de seguridad y los procedimientos de emergencia.
