GOVERNOR-ELECT JUSTICE CHOOSES CASEY AS CHIEF OF STAFF

Governor-elect Jim Justice has chosen former West Virginia Democratic Party chair and congressional candidate Nick Casey as his chief of staff, Justice announced this week. Casey, who is a Charleston attorney and CPA, served as Democratic Party chair during part of U.S. Senator Joe Manchin’s time as governor. Casey ran for Congress in 2014 and was defeated in the fall election by Republican Congressman Alex Mooney. Casey was the treasurer of Justice’s successful gubernatorial campaign. Governor-elect Justice will be sworn into office January 16, 2017.

JUSTICE NAMES POLICY COMMITTEE CHAIRS

Governor-elect Justice has named 27 people to chair policy committees that are expected to advise his transition team and incoming administration on some of the biggest issues affecting the state. The chosen policy committees are focused on economic development, public education, higher education, healthcare, the drug epidemic, infrastructure, tourism, and energy and the environment.

The list includes David Alvarez, Energy Transportation LLC, for the Energy and Environment Task Force; Woody Thrasher, Thrasher Engineering, on the Economic Development Task Force; and CAWV Executive Director Mike Clowser on the Infrastructure Task Force. Members can see the full list of policy committee chairs by clicking here.

CAWV LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE SEEKING MEMBERS’ INPUT ON ISSUES

The 2017 session of the West Virginia Legislature will start 30 days later due to this year being an election year. The Legislature will convene on the second Wednesday in January, January 8, and recess until February 8. The session will not end until April 8.

The CAWV Legislative Committee is seeking recommendations from members on legislation the CAWV should consider for introduction. In addition to infrastructure funding, the CAWV will be reviewing tax issues, highway safety initiatives and regulatory reform, among other items. Roger Thomas, CAWV Legislative Committee Chairman, asks members to complete the 2017 CAWV Legislative Questionnaire. Please list any recommendations for proposed legislation and the committee and Board will review for possible introduction this session. Members can access the questionnaire by clicking here or visiting https://goo.gl/forms/os3faLycrXWTEJ6E3.

BUDGET SHORTFALLS REQUIRE LOOKING AT REVENUE OPTIONS FOR HIGHWAYS AND INFRASTRUCTURE, NEW CHIEF OF STAFF STATES

Department of Revenue Cabinet Secretary Bob Kiss told legislators that West Virginia’s revenue numbers are short of estimates in November by $4.1 million. For the first five months of fiscal year 2017, collections have fallen $91.5 million below estimates, but are $13.2 million above last year’s receipts. Secretary Kiss said if it weren’t for 2 percent mid-year across-the-board cuts imposed by Gov. Tomblin and the money from the old workers’ comp fun into the general fund, the shortfall could have been worse.

Governor-elect Jim Justice’s new chief of staff, Nick Casey, said it is clear the key issues for the 2017 legislative session will be growing the economy and addressing what is now projected as a more than $400 million shortfall in the 2017-18 state budget. Speaking for himself, Casey said he believes all revenue options, including short-term tax increases, will have to be part of the budget discussion. “I think revenue sources, including taxes, have to be put on the table to at least be talked about,” he said.

He cited the gas tax, which is set to drop for the third straight year, on Jan. 1, under a calculation of a portion of the tax that is based on wholesale gas prices for the previous year. That cut is projected to save a typical driver about $28 a year but cost the state Road Fund about $12.5 million in revenue. “You’re saving a few bucks a year, but spending $300 to get a front-end alignment,” Casey said, illustrating the false savings of that tax cut. Restoring the tax rate to where it was three years ago would provide more than $36 million in revenue for the Road Fund, Casey said, adding, “I guess you could say that’s a tax increase.”

Another example he cited is tolls on the West Virginia Turnpike, which bring in $85 million a year in revenue, paid predominately by out-of-state travelers but unpopular with many residents of counties served by the Turnpike.

“Tolls on the Turnpike come off in a couple of years,” Casey said of current law, which will repeal the tolls when 30-year bonds are paid off in 2019. “That’s certainly important to many people but, on the other side, you can’t bond without tolls.” Casey said issuing bonds for infrastructure projects could be one option to help close the budget deficit and jump-start the economy. “Hopefully, there are some bonding opportunities out there,” he said.

“We have a very deliberative governor-elect,” Casey said. “I’m impressed.”

CAWV OPEN HOUSE A GREAT NETWORKING OPPORTUNITY

Many members and guests attended the CAWV’s Holiday Open House on Tuesday, December 6. CAWV members enjoyed hors d'oeuvres, drinks and conversation during the evening event, making it a great opportunity for members to get together. The CAWV staff would like to extend a very special thank you to members who used the event to donate dozens of toys to benefit the U.S. Marine Reserves’ “Toys for Tots.” The CAWV Young Contractors Forum also gathered a large amount of toys at their annual Fall Golf Outing for the “Toys for Tots” program. Because of the joint efforts of CAWV members at these two events, the CAWV has been awarded the United States Marine Corps Reserve “Commander’s Award” for outstanding support of the 2016 “Toys for Tots” program.

LEGISLATIVE INTERIM COMMITTEE RECEIVES SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION COSTS REPORT

The Joint Committee on Government Organization requested a review focusing on the School Building Authority of West Virginia (SBA) and school construction costs. The report, prepared by the West Virginia Legislative Auditor’s Post Audit Division, was presented at December’s legislative interim meeting held this week in Charleston. The audit shows from July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2014, the SBA awarded approximately $430 million for the construction and maintenance of public schools. The Post Audit Division collected construction cost data on 125 SBA-funded projects during that period. Included are construction of new facilities as well as additions and renovations to existing school facilities. Calculations were based on cost variations in school construction costs between the WV Department of Education’s eight Regional Educational Service Agencies (RESAs).

The report compares construction costs by averaging per square foot costs for new construction. Costs range from $180.43 per square foot in RESA 8 (which encompasses much of the eastern counties in West Virginia) to $239.54 in RESA 1 (the southernmost counties). The report paid particular notice to the cost and frequency of change orders. For the 18 projects for which sufficient documentation was provided, there was a total of approximately $7.3 million spent on change orders. On these projects, 84% of change orders totaled between $0 and $100,000.

The report concludes that a sufficient database is not available to properly compare public school construction costs or assess the cost and frequency of change orders. In its research, Post Audits notes that this is not an issue exclusive to West Virginia. The report also presents findings and recommendations, including having a single source for information to help counties monitor construction efficiency and provide greater transparency, and having counties maintain school construction costs properly.

Members of the CAWV Joint Architects Committee will receive a copy of the legislative audit report “School Building Authority School Construction Costs July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2014.” Committee members will be commenting on the report at the next Joint Architects Committee meeting. Anyone else needing a copy can contact Pat McDonald at [email protected]

WATER RESOURCES AND INFRASTRUCTURE BILL MOVES FORWARD

This week the House of Representatives passed the AGC-supported, Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation (WIIN) Act by a vote of 360 - 61. The WIIN Act is a combination of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2016 – authorizing navigation and flood control programs of the Army Corps of Engineers – and the Water and Waste Water Act of 2016, which provides additional resources for the Environmental Protection Agency to improve drinking water infrastructure and legislation to provide relief for the California drought.

The bill now moves to the Senate where concerns about a number of provisions remain. Several Senators have expressed opposition to provisions providing drought relief for California and mandating Buy America requirements on iron and steel products for fiscal year 2017 only, instead of making the requirements permanent. AGC will continue to push the Senate the take up and pass the WINN Act before they adjourn the 114th Congress.

DEATH BY CHRISTMAS DECORATION The Philadelphia Inquirer

A 59-year-old Washington Township died Sunday after he fell from the roof of his house while putting up Christmas lights, authorities said today. The man, whose name was not released, was found unconscious in the driveway of his home in the Sewell part of the Gloucester County Township when police officers arrived shortly after 5 p.m., Washington Township Capt. Richard Leonard said.

The man, who suffered head trauma, was pronounced dead Sunday at Kennedy University Hospital in the township, Leonard said The man, who was putting up the holiday lights by himself, had used a ladder to climb to the roof of his two-story Shire Drive residence and fell at some point, Leonard said. "It appears to be a freak accident," Leonard said.

Leonard said he doesn't recall the last time a township resident died in a fall while putting up holiday decorations, but said it is a rare occurrence.

It may be a "rare" occurrence in Washington Township but in the U.S., more than 12,000 people are treated in the nation's emergency rooms each year due to falls, cuts, electrical shocks and burns from faulty holiday decorations or accidents that occur while putting decorations up. In the UK, more than 80,000 people need medical treatment over the 12 days of Christmas for injuries received in the home.

"The holiday season is a hectic time for all of us, filled with activities and errands, and many people pay less attention to safety and end up in the emergency department," said Dr Brian Keaton, president of the American College of Emergency Physicians. "The nation's emergency physicians urge people to take a little extra time and care as they go about enjoying the holidays."

Safety is not just a work thing . . . it's a living thing!! During the holiday season with all the stress, tight schedules, crowds, extra work etc, take extra caution and STOP . . . take 5 minutes for safety and think about the activities you'll be doing. Think about the possible risks of what you're doing . . . whether it's your regular job or hanging up Christmas decorations . . . we must be vigilant to ensure we're around for the holiday celebration.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS & BE SAFE OUT THERE!

TIME IS RUNNING OUT TO REGISTER FOR 2017 CAWV/WVDOH TECHNICIAN AND INSPECTOR COURSES

The CAWV is pleased to announce Technician Certification Training Courses, which are offered annually to help individuals prepare for WVDOH certification examinations required under their Quality Assurance Program. Thousands of individuals have attended courses in Compaction, Aggregates, Asphalt and Portland Cement Concrete over the last several years. Test comparisons prove that those persons who attend the CAWV/WVDOH courses have a higher success rate for passing the exams.

* NEW FOR 2017: All certification testing has been moved to an online format that will require the attendee to have a laptop or IPad type device to take the test. The use of smart phones during the test is prohibited.

CLASS TRAINING DATES TEST DATE

Soil and Aggregate Compaction Inspector (see note below) January 3-5 January 6 This certification will only include soil and aggregate Inspector certification. If you need to test asphalt compaction, you will need to take the Asphalt Field Technician course.

For more information, contact Pat McDonald at (304) 342-1166 or e-mail [email protected]. Forms are attached to this week’s Newsletter and will remain available on the CAWV’s website at www.cawv.org.

WEST VIRGINIA AML FUNDS NOT AFFECTED BY MINERS’ BENEFIT PLAN LEGISLATION

Congress is working on a bill to address potential shortages in the Multiemployer Health Benefit Plan for payment of health care benefits to retired coal miners by expanding the eligible uses of interest to such plan from the Abandoned Mine Reclamation Fund, and supplemental payments of up to $490 million from the General Fund of the Treasury. The Miners Pension Act would direct $3 billion over the next 10 years into health care and pension funds for retired coal miners. Roughly 17,000 retired miners are set to lose their health care benefits later this month, and an additional 4,000 would early next year without congressional action. West Virginia Senators Joe Manchin (D) and Shelley Moore Capito (R) have pushed for passage before the end of the year but House and Senate leadership have supported a continuing resolution that continues benefits through April.

CAWV members have questioned whether Abandoned Mine Land (AML) funds will be diverted from coal mining states for reclamation purposes to the Miners Protection Act. The CAWV spoke this week with staff of Sen. Shelley Moore Capito and received assurances that dedicated funds for the AML reclamation program are not impacted by the bill. When the AML program was extended to 2021 a few years ago, states receive the principal from AML fees while the interest from the trust fund is used for miners’ health benefits. The Senator’s office said various news outlets don’t understand the difference between the principal and interest accounts in the AML trust fund and often refer to AML funds being used for the benefits program. They note that the agreements made when the AML program was authorized through 2021 are still in place and that the principal funding will remain in the AML reclamation program.

CHANGES COMING TO WVDOH’s DBE PROGRAM IN 2017—BE AWARE

Significant changes are coming to the WVDOH Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program beginning January 1, 2017. CAWV members are encouraged to look over the draft copy of Special Provision for Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Utilization. Members can click here to view the draft. The proposal will be acted upon at next week’s WVDOH Specification Committee meeting. One of the changes (page 2 of 12, section V.) requires submission of a contractor’s DBE Participation Plan within 5 days of the bid opening. Additionally, DBE plans will go directly to the EEO Division at the email or fax number provided in Section V. Failure to submit all required information in the required time frame shall be cause for annulment of award and forfeiture of bond (B page 3 of 12).

Another notable item relates to Changes to DBE Participation Plan (D page 3 of 12). Note that the new provision, once officially approved, requires written consent by the EEO Division to deviate from utilization of a DBE listed in the plan. Unless written consent is provided, the contractor shall not be entitled to any payment for work or material unless it is performed or supplied by the listed DBE. Contractors will also want to review changes regarding Suspensions and Decertification’s (G, page 10 of 12).

The CAWV needs comments on the proposal by Tuesday, December 13, and those can be emailed to Pat Parsons at [email protected]. Again, watch for the new provision as it will be placed in all proposals beginning January 1, 2017.

WV PARKWAYS AUTHORITY WANTS TURNPIKE TOLLS TO REMAIN PAST 2019

West Virginia Parkways Authority members unanimously approved a resolution this week calling for tolls to remain on the West Virginia Turnpike after the current round of bonds are paid off in 2019, contending that removing the tolls is not in the best interest of the state or its citizens. Under current law, Turnpike tolls are to end when the 30-year bonds are paid off in May 2019, and operations and maintenance of the 88-mile interstate are to shift to the Division of Highways. In order to keep the tolls after 2019, the Legislature would either have to amend the current law, or approve a new round of highway construction and maintenance bonds, to be paid off with ongoing revenue from Turnpike tolls. The tolls bring approximately $85 million a year in state revenue in which $64.5 million of that amount is from out-of-state vehicles.
