E The crack of bats reverberating in ballparks around the country marks the unofficial start of spring. And much like the athletes of spring training, the men and women of the heavy construction industry are looking forward n

I to the season ahead and getting back into the “swing of things”.

L Just as players scout the competition and the front office sizes up their team’s chance for success, contractors

have also been busy scouting - anticipating potential projects and prospects for this year’s letting season E and they have the front office sharpening their pencils in anticipation.

H In 2018, Long Island will play host some the most important ‘homestands’ of the last several seasons. The

T Long Island Rail Road’s Third Track, the Bergen Point outfall Pipe replacement, the nassau Expressway reconstruction, and the Ronkonkoma Hub are all enormous projects scheduled to get underway after years of talk and expectation. Their size and importance rival that of an Aaron Judge or noah Syndergaard. n

E These superstars, like “mega-projects”, are always exciting and make for good headlines, but it takes more than a few big names to be successful (just ask the Yankees). You need a roster full of solid, capable and E dedicated utility players too. You need a clubhouse leader who leads by example, sharing knowledge with others and working hard every day for benefit of the team—doing whatever it takes to get the job done. W Some might call it a true MVP or an unsung hero. The LIRR could call it Elisa Picca. T As one of Long Island’s premier transportation strategic planners, Elisa Picca - Executive Vice President of the E Long Island Rail Road, has helped to plan, develop and deliver some of our region’s most transformative

B projects during her 30 year career including the LIRR Third Track. We at LICA are proud to feature her on this issue of Road Warriors acknowledging her vision, persistence and devotion to excellence in public works. Her accomplishments will not only result in the creation of jobs for our member firms and their employees but, more lasting, they will improve mobility and ensure economic growth for the Long Island region for generations to come. We hope you enjoy her story.

Wishing all our members a successful and “winning” season.

Sincerely,

Marc Herbst Executive Director

Following Sandy, I led the charge to pass a historic federal recovery act that included more than $60 billion in federal funds to rebuild new York and new Jersey – including essential transit connections like the East River Tunnels. I sat down with the head of Amtrak and explained the dire needs of Long Island’s transportation infrastructure and hammered out a comprehensive plan that would address the full scale of the tunnels’ damage.

But when the Federal Transit Administration developed their plan to spend these hard- won funds, they failed to designate the resources that Amtrak and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority needed to under - take these vital repairs. on behalf of the LIRR’s 81 million annual riders, I argued all the way to the White House that the East River Tunnels must be included in any FTA plan to fortify and repair Sandy-damaged transportation infrastructure. After months of advocacy, FTA finally heeded my call in June 2016 and released an additional $432 million to the MTA, with the understanding that the tunnels would be a top priority.

Almost two years later, we are still waiting for Amtrak and the MTA to begin work. Last october, Amtrak suggested that as a result of delays in MTA’s East Side Access New York’s physical project, the tunnel repairs might be stalled for years, possibly even beyond 2023. infrastructure That is outrageous. is the backbone of our economy... over the past year, we have seen what happens when critical failures occur in the tunnels. Every few months, a train stalls underneath the East River and sends delays cascading across the entire LIRR system. one episode last May resulted in 17 cancelled rush-hour trains, delaying countless commuters and costing businesses in the region lost productivity and money.

It is no longer a matter of asking if there will be more delays and headaches for LIRR passengers, but rather how many more must they endure and how long will they tolerate it?

There is no reason this project should languish while momentum builds at the national level for a major infrastructure package. If we cannot prove our ability and willingness to spend the money we already have, then our calls for future investment in roads, bridges, and other essential projects ‘ could go unheard.

It is long past time for Amtrak and the MTA to work together to advance these tunnel repairs. They should come up with an aggressive plan, and advance it as soon as possible. I urge you to make your voice heard by lending your support to this critical project. The future of Long Island depends on it.

“Show Me The Money” S

by Desmond M. Ryan, Government Relations Consultant W E

This classic line from the movie Jerry Maguire is the position recently expressed by new I York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio with regards to Governor Andrew Cuomo’s proposal for V

funding new York’s transit system with revenue generated by congestion pricing.

The Mayor has made it clear the anticipated $1 billion in proceeds should stay in new & York City and not return to the state general fund. But is throwing more money at the

MTA really the solution? And how does the region benefit without a comprehensive plan S that includes nassau and Suffolk Counties? W The city subway system is an aging operation that has been plagued by poor maintenance and delayed upgrades to its track and switching gear. Like it or not, the responsibility E for funding this massive system falls on the shoulders of Governor Andrew Cuomo but is congestion pricing really the answer? n

First and foremost, congestion pricing will require an act of the state legislature and whether the state Senate and Assembly will actually participate remains to be seen. This is where Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan and the rest of the Long Island delegation can play a major role. Senator Flanagan stated publicly that he is not endorsing the Governor’s proposal but the suburban Senator will play an important part in passing or defeating AnY legislation this year. It’s one thing to “fix new York City” but we should be collectively working together to “fix Long Island” as well.

Albany has dedicated funds for the LIRR Double and Third Track projects, but what about Long Island roads? The current 5-year capital plan for nassau and Suffolk does not come close to meeting Long Island’s true infrastructure needs. A recent press conference held by the Long Island Contractors’ Association pointed out that the “shovel ready” Route 347 project came to a complete halt because of a lack of state funds. As a region, nassau and Suffolk have seen a dramatic reduction in state funding for our road and bridge projects, but could the solution for Long Island be congestion pricing for new York City?

Senator Flanagan and his Albany colleagues must make it clear to Governor Cuomo that legis- lation for congestion pricing has to include funding for Long Island. one suggestion is that all tax revenue generated by the sale of gasoline in nassau and Suffolk should be placed in a “lockbox” and used strictly for Long Island infrastructure needs. This dedicated stream of revenue would not only supplement the 5-year capital plan but the funds could be used as part of the “down payment” which will be required for the $1 trillion infrastructure program currently being discussed by Congress in Washington, D.C. If Governor Cuomo wants to proceed with his vision of a Cross Sound Tunnel, the lockbox could pay the debt service on the $35 billion in bonds needed for that project.

Sales tax revenue for the region is only a suggestion, but it is worthy of discussion if we are to find a solution for all of our transit issues. It’s going to take total participation, not only from Governor Cuomo and Mayor DeBlasio, but also County Executives Laura Curran and Steve Bellone, as well as Senator Flanagan and the Albany delegation, to craft a solution that addresses all of our infrastructure needs, not just those of the MTA.

Governor Cuomo has been the “go to” guy for rebuilding the Tappan Zee/Mario Cuomo bridge as well as LaGuardia Airport and upgrades to the LIRR. Mass transit should be the Governor’s priority as we look to have new York compete in the global economy. However, the roadways on Long Island are as important to us as the subways are to new York City. And if the Governor truly wants congestion pricing, then, to paraphrase Jerry Maguire... “Show us the money”! 13 Y CHANG E. AT JAMAIC A. R o I THINK I CAN, I THINK I CAN...

17 R Driving For Continued Development

by Building Material Teamsters Local 282 o

B For over 100 years, since its charter issued in 1915, Building Material Teamsters Local 282 has fought to improve the lives of its members with decent middle class wages A and benefits. Here on Long Island, where the cost of living is notoriously among the highest in the

L United States, the fight is as important as ever. Through the steady stewardship of its leadership, the strong support of its approximately 4,000 members, and with its partners in business and in govern- ment, Teamsters Local 282 works hard to ensure that the American Dream of a middle class life remains sustainable for our members and their children.

Many see the obvious work that Local 282 performs. We stand up to ensure that our members - the working people of Long Island and new York City-are treated fairly. We negotiate contracts to secure the wages and benefits necessary to raise a family here. We organize workers who seek to better their circumstance through the benefit of Union jobs, Union wages, decent health care and retirement security. What some may not see is the diligent work that Local 282, its leadership and its membership perform to improve our lives and our community.

For example, Local 282 and its members fight to bring State tax dollars home to Long Island, which tax dollars go to fund the repair, maintenance and upgrade to our roads, highways, and sewer systems. We support smart development, such as the upcoming Belmont Park revamp and its construction of an arena, entertainment and hospitality hub. Such infrastructure development and maintenance across Long Island represents a classic win-win-win, with jobs for our members, opportunities for employers, and a better home for our communities.

In particular, Local 282 is excited that after years in the offing, the Long Island Rail Road expansion is finally underway. The LIRR project of course means good Union jobs for years to come. But it also means a safer, state-of-the-art transportation system for Long Island and new York City residents, commuters, and businesses, with the potential to unlock economic growth and opportunity. It is encouraging to see these efforts come to fruition with shovels hitting the ground and trucks hitting the street.

18 ... Local 282 is excited that after years in the offing, the Long Island Rail Road expansion is finally underway.

Local 282's work is not limited to the growth and expansion of work opportunity. Through sober steward - ship of its Board of Trustees, the Local 282 Pension Trust Fund fights to keep costs low and returns high. That is why, while pensions around the country and in our own back yard are ever endangered, Local 282 proudly boasts of one of the most well-funded pensions in the area and indeed the country. It is only through constant diligence that the promise of retirement security for our members will be kept.

Local 282 is also a proud contributor to our community. In 2010, we establish‘ed the Local 282 Scholarship Fund, raising money annually to provide financial awards that help our members to defray the ever-expanding cost of higher education. Since its inception, Local 282 has raised over $1,000,000 and provided over 125 scholar - ships for our members' children. And when Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico, Local 282 answered the call. Six of our members served as volunteers, traveling to the storm-ravaged island to assist in the delivery of food, water, medicine and other supplies into the coun - tryside. Accepting no pay, these civic-minded Americans endured difficult living and working conditions for two weeks to aid those in need.

The obstacles for organized labor and our partners are ever present, both here and across the country. But while others see dwindling memberships, declining pensions and struggling welfare plans, Local 282 President Thomas Gesualdi and the entire Local 282 Executive Board continue to see and remain committed to fostering smart, sustained growth for Long Island.

Since its inception, Local 282 has raised over $1,000,000 and provided over 125 scholarships for our members’ children. ‘ 19 20 21
