kalb's Q&A for contractors By David kalb, President of capitol Services, inc.

contractors will be happy to hear about the figurative SWiFt ‘kick in the pants’ unlicensed contrac-tors are getting. can a son-in-law qualify for a family license waiver? i’ll expand on a previous ‘Q&A’ for this contractor’s solution. We also share some important considerations if you’re a licensed contractor thinking about becoming a cA Qualifier…

Q: i have an opportunity to RMo my licenses. they are both under one cA license number. i have never been a Responsible Managing officer (RMo) and know nothing about the good & bad points of doing this. one question is can i leave at any time with my license? i would be hired as a corporate officer, Manager or Superintendent with an hourly wage. Where can i get good information without paying an attorney?

A: First, if you’re going to be the Responsible Managing officer (RMo), by definition you'll need to be a corporate officer. your corporate title is up to the company doing the hiring and could for example be Vice President, Secretary, treasurer, etc. if hired as a "manager or superintendent” this would make you a Responsible Managing employee (RMe).

there are both advantages and disadvantages with being a RMo. For instance, you are not required to be employed 32 hours a week like a RMe. on the other hand, as an officer, you could be financially liable for judgments or other financial problems that may arise with your new employer. either way, you have the option of leaving (disassociating) any time you want. Since you have never done this before, i would recommend caution before jumping into this situation.

you likely should contact an attorney; however, if you want some basic (non-legal) answers they can be found in the book “What every contractor Should know: Answers to Real World Questions in cA, nV and AZ”. chapter 7 is entitled: the RMe/RMo.

Q: A few weeks ago, you answered a question in our local builder’s newsletter regarding the passing of a contractor license to a son. i believe you stated that the only requirement was that the "son" must have 5 years experience in the field. i have three questions: 1) Do the 5 years need to be consecutive? 2) Does this also apply to a son-in-law (he works within the same industry) 3) can the two of them inherit the license as co-owners?



Page 8

A: i don’t believe i said the “only” requirement was 5 years in the field. there are several other considerations. the new Qualifier can be a son or son-in-law but only one can apply to take over a family license. the 5 years employment must be within the prior 7-year period and must be

with the business that holds the license. While having experience with another company would allow your son-in-law to take the exam, it would not make him eligible for a waiver.

the cSlB has been busy nabbing the bad guys. During the past week the Board’s Statewide investigative Fraud team (SWiFt), in coordination with local enforcement agencies, conducted undercover stings in South Pasadena and chico.

the cSlB posed as property owners and invited suspected illegal operators to bid on home improvements such as fencing, landscaping and painting.

notices to appear in court were issued to 21 suspects primarily for operating without a license or illegal advertising. 2 of those caught in the chico sting were repeat offenders and face a penalty of up to $5000 and at least 90-days in jail. two of those nabbed in Pasadena had their vehicles towed for driving with suspended licenses due to a prior Dui conviction.

According to the Registrar, Steve Sands, these stings “should serve notice that the cSlB and its partners are serious about cracking down on illegal contracting activity”.

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. Research past columns at www.cutredtape.com.

sACRAMentO uPDAteLegislature

leGiSlAtuRe

it was a mixed bag this week for the many bills being worked on for GSBe. Much of the regulation reform movement supported by business was bottled up in committee. Below is summary of some, but not all of bills acted on this week:

FixeD PRiceD contRActS

AB 780 (calderon) – Fixed Priced contracts – Failure to include a provision in the 2009 tax increase to address fixed price contracts has resulted in contractors having to unfairly absorb the tax increase for the last year and half. AB 780 provides that, in the event of a future increase or decrease in the state sales tax, public works contracts must provide for an adjustment in a contract that was entered into prior to the tax change to compensate the contractor for the increase that was not factored into the contract and compensate the public agency in the event of an unanticipated decrease in the sales tax. AB 780 was passed from the Revenue and taxation suspense file and move to the Assembly Appropriations

committee with some technical amendments to clarify the bill. Supported by GSBe.

locAl tAxinG AuthoRity

SB 632 (Steinberg) – local taxation Authority - Authorizes the governing body of any county or city and county, or school district, subject to constitutional voter approval requirements, to levy, increase, or extend the following taxes: A local personal income tax not to exceed 1% on any of all of the residents of the county or school district. A local vehicle license fee not to exceed 1.35%. An additional transactions and use tax which would be excluded from the current 2% combined county and city rate limit. the bill allows for local excise taxes but does not limit counties and school districts to these taxes. Specifically, the bill allows: Alcoholic beverage tax of five cents per 5 ounces and at a propor-tionate rate for any other quantity. cigarette and tobacco products tax of up to five cents per cigarette or $1 per pack. oil severance tax not to exceed 10 % of the gross value of the product upon a producer for the privilege of severing oil from the earth or water in the county for sale, transport, consumption, storage, profit, or use, as authorized. Sweetened beverage tax not to exceed once cent per fluid ounce. local medical marijuana tax. Passed Senate Governance and Finance committee.

this “tail Wagging the Dog” Must Cease!BY: Phil Vermeulen, Legislative Advocate

So, there I was testifying in strong support for SB 475 (Wright) the other day in the Senate Finance and Governance Committee along with my brethren from both labor and management from private industry. Briefly, SB 475 seeks to clarify existing law pertaining to local governments soliciting proposals and entering into agreements with private entities for the study, planning, design, financing, construction, maintenance, rebuilding, improvement, repair, or operation by private entities of specific types of fee-producing infrastructure (AB 2660, Aguiar, 1996). Now, more than ever, we need to pro-mote alternative funding opportunities that will generate jobs AND keep California moving forward. Oh, and SB 475 also broadens the law to include financing for sewer treatment facilities as well!

It’s always so gratifying to work hand in hand with labor to pro-mote something that is an absolute “no brainer,” right? Well, guess what! ALL of the public workers’ unions, including the Cal Trans Professional Engineers, the SEIU (representing most of the public workers) and several other public worker unions went in lockstep up to the Dais to strongly oppose the bill! Huh, why would they do this you ask? Well, in the minds of these “out of control wonks” they believe that this work should only

be done by the “traditional” bureaucratic method that ensures that it provides work for these bureau-crats! And, to add injury to insult in terms of how out of control they are, they further believe that a dollar spent on infrastructure, is one less dollar that will be spent on them!!!

Talk about the “tail wagging the dog!” Back in 1978 when then Governor Brown signed legislation that gave public workers the right to collectively bargain, I knew it was a serious mistake (and at that time I worked for the state and still believed it)! Now I absolutely know that it is! Even if these workers should be given the right to collectively bargain (and my argument against is that the Civil Service System more than adequately protects them), should they also be allowed to lobby, particularly on issues that are non-bargaining-related? I for one don’t think so! Besides, these unions have now become the strongest voice in Sacramento. That’s not right!

SAFETY TOPIC

Concrete Construction SafetyConcrete is a versatile and strong material for construction. Concrete workers are just as versatile when performing excavations, carpentry, metalworking, pouring, and smoothing to create concrete structures. Pay attention to the variety of hazards while you work with concrete.

Personal protection equipment (PPE) keeps you safe on the job. For digging, forming, and exposure to concrete, wear sturdy gloves and safety boots to protect your hands and feet. A hard hat protects your head from falling objects and bumps. Consider ear plugs depending on the noise level of your equipment and job site. Safety glasses and face shields protect your eyes from flying dust, wood chips, and concrete. A respirator protects your lungs from concrete dust and dirt.

You may dig and remove vegetation before you lay forms for concrete. Check the work area for underground utilities and services first. Use of sharpened tools makes digging footings and cutting back obstacles (such as roots and branches) easier. When possible, use powered equipment for digging and moving most of the dirt and gravel. Finish the final digging using hand tools.

Preparing concrete forms requires carpentry skills, and hand and power tools. Inspect your tools to ensure they are in good working order. Saws should be properly guarded to protect your hands and fingers. Use power tools that are double insulated or grounded with a three-prong plug and connected to ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) to prevent electric shock in case the tool comes into contact with moisture.

Design and build forms to adequately and safely hold the proper amount of concrete. Keep plans of the forms and finished product on the worksite. If the forms need shoring, use sills that are rated for the load and in good condition. Inspect shoring equipment before, during, and after you add concrete.

Take care when cutting and shaping reinforcing materials. Use a proper blade and cutting tool for the material you use. Do not allow sparks to land on flammable materials while you cut. Support metal formations so they do not collapse. Cover sharp rebar ends to prevent impalement injuries. Prevent wire mesh recoil by securing the ends or turning the roll over.

Concrete can be applied to an area by hand, chute, pneumatic hoses, or buckets. For pneumatics, check the hoses and couplings to prevent a breach. Anchor the hose in place to prevent excess movement. Do not ride concrete buckets or hoist/swing the buckets over workers.

Once the forms are built and the concrete pumped, use tools with handles to smooth the surfaces. Use the larger muscles of your shoulders to move the trowel and avoid twisting your back. If you are smoothing a walking surface, bend your legs, not your back, and apply the trowel. Consider wide mats and knee pads to help you access areas that need smoothing.

Do not remove forms and shores until the concrete has cured and gained strength. Form removal (except at grade) should be done according to the specifications for the concrete cure time or if the concrete has been strength tested.

SAFETY TOPIC

La Seguridad en la Construcción con Concreto

El concreto es un material de construcción versátil y resistente. Los trabajadores del concreto son igualmente versátiles cuando llevan a cabo excavaciones, carpintería, trabajos de metalmecánica, vertiendo y alisando el concreto para crear estructuras. Se debe prestar atención a los diferentes peligros presentes al trabajar con concreto.

Los equipos de protección personal (PPE, por sus siglas en inglés) mantienen su seguridad en el trabajo. Para excavar, construir encofrados y exposición al concreto, se deben usar guantes fuertes y botas de seguridad para protegerse las manos y los pies. Un casco le protege la cabeza contra golpes y objetos que puedan caer. Considere el uso de tapones para los oídos, dependiendo del nivel de ruido presente en sus equipos y en su sitio de trabajo. Gafas y caretas de seguridad le protegen los ojos contra el polvo, las astillas y las partículas de concreto. Un equipo de respiración le protege los pulmones contra el polvo de concreto y la suciedad.

Puede ser que usted necesite excavar y eliminar vegetación antes de ensamblar los encofrados para verter el concreto. Pero antes de hacerlo, verifique que el área de trabajo no tenga servicios públicos subterráneos. El uso de herramientas afiladas facilita excavar los cimientos y recortar obstáculos (tales como ramas y raíces). Cuando sea posible, use equipos motorizados para excavar y mover la mayoría de los escombros y la grava. Termine el trabajo de excavación usando herramientas de mano.

La preparación de los encofrados requiere conocimientos de carpintería, así como herramientas de mano y motorizadas. Inspeccione sus herramientas para verificar que estén en buenas condiciones de operación. Las sierras deberán tener los resguardos correctos para protegerle las manos y los dedos. Use herramientas motorizadas que tengan doble aislamiento, o que estén conectadas a tierra con un enchufe de tres clavijas y estén alimentadas a través de un interruptor de circuito con pérdida a tierra (GFCI, por sus siglas en inglés) para prevenir choques eléctricos en caso de que la herramienta entre en contacto con superficies húmedas.

Los encofrados se deben diseñar y construir para que puedan soportar y contener debida y seguramente la cantidad de concreto adecuada. Tenga los dibujos de los encofrados y del producto final en el sitio de trabajo. Si los encofrados requieren refuerzos, use umbrales diseñados para resistir ese peso, y que estén en buenas condiciones. Inspeccione los refuerzos antes de verter el concreto, durante el proceso de vertido y después del vertido.

Tenga cuidado al cortar y formar los materiales de armado. Use las cuchillas y herramientas de corte apropiadas para el material a cortar. No permita que las chispas caigan sobre materiales inflamables mientras hace los cortes. Soporte las varillas metálicas de armado para que no se desplomen. Cubra los extremos filosos de las varillas de armado para prevenir lesiones. Evite que la tela metálica rebote sujetando los extremos o invirtiendo el rollo.

El concreto se puede verter en un área a mano, usando una canaleta, mangueras neumáticas o baldes. En el caso de los sistemas neumáticos, revise las mangueras y los acoplamientos para evitar fugas. Ancle la manguera en su lugar para prevenir un exceso de movimiento. No se suba a los baldes de concreto ni eleve con grúa los baldes sobre otros trabajadores.

Una vez que los encofrados estén terminados y se vierta el concreto, use herramientas con mangos para alisar la superficie. Use los músculos grandes de sus hombros para mover la llana y evite girar la espalda. Si está alisando una superficie para caminar, doble las piernas, no la espalda al trabajar la llana. Considere el uso de tapetes anchos y almohadillas para las rodillas para ayudarle a alcanzar áreas que es necesario alisar.
