AGC SAN DIEGO Voice of the Construction Industry
ANNUAL REPORT
2015
agcsd.org
This 2015 Annual Report details the efforts and accomplishments of an engaged and enthusiastic AGC San Diego Membership, and I am honored to have been the President in 2015. We have had a successful year, thanks to the leadership of our Board of Directors, and the participation of the members. Here is a look at some of the highlights: Construction Leadership. Young professionals continue to excel in the construction industry, and are increasingly taking on leadership positions. AGC’s Construction Leadership Council (CLC), and the Construction Education and Training Committee help foster the next generation of industry professionals. The J.R. Filanc Construction and Engineering Management Program (CEM) at San Diego State University, is one of the best CEM programs in the country, and the annual gala raised $230,000 to support the students and faculty. Five CEM teams participated in the Associated Schools of Construction “Reno” Competition, where two teams placed first and one team placed third. Safety. On July 25, AGC San Diego opened a new state-of-the-art Fall Protection and Confined Spaces Training Campus. Safety and education are top priorities for AGC, and this significant investment is for the safety of the construction industry’s most vital asset...the workforce that builds the region’s infrastructure.
LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear AGC San Diego Members:
Standardization. AGC endorsed the use of ConsensusDocs, a secure web-based program that provides instant access to over 100 industry-accepted standard form contracts. Allocation of risk during a construction project and having a timely conflict resolution path enables contractors and owners to better understand their roles, responsibilities and liabilities before signing a contract. We hope to see industrywide adoption of ConsensusDocs. Political Action. The Political Action Committee (PAC) was re-structured to more effectively raise the necessary funds to elect pro-economic development candidates, and to pass infrastructure-funding measures. The PAC member yearly financial commitment will generate enough funds for the AGC to remain the “voice of the construction industry.” Coalition Building. AGC continued to create successful alliances with several organizations at the local, state, and national levels. We asked Governor Brown to veto a bill, which would have made it more difficult to build development projects in the City of San Diego. Congress passed a long-term federal transportation bill. AGC members were “called into action” to write to the Governor and their Congressional Representatives, respectively. AGC Staff Transition. AGC’s Board of Directors was tasked early in the year to find a replacement for AGC’s Chief Executive Officer, Jim Ryan, who retired on December 31, 2015. Jim will continue with the AGC on a consulting basis through 2017, specifically handling labor relations and compliance. After a thorough search of candidates, Eddie Sprecco was selected as the CEO effective January 1, 2016. Member Engagement. Over 800 members volunteered in AGC’s 20 committees and four councils. Participation does make a difference, and that is what makes AGC a success! It has been a productive year, and it has been my privilege to serve as the 2015 President of AGC San Diego; I thank you. Sincerely,
Walt Fegley Reno Contracting, Inc. 2015 President, AGC San Diego Chapter, Inc. AGC SAN DIEGO

GOVERNMENT RELATIONS COMMITTEE
The Government Relations Committee ensures that AGC San Diego keeps a high-profile position in the “political arena” at the local, regional, state and national levels. This involves a continual analysis of all political efforts affecting the industry. The committee annually develops legislative positions for distribution to the membership. It works closely with our legislative advocate in Sacramento and with the AGC of California and AGC of America on all statewide and federal legislative matters. The committee is responsible for advocacy of adequate infrastructure investment.
During 2015, the Committee worked with AGC staff, state legislative advocates Dave Ackerman, Jamie Khan, and Paul Gladfelty, and AGC of America’s team led by Jeff Shoaf on a number of key local, state, and federal issues. The Committee also worked with the Engineering and General Contractors’ Council to address a number of legislative issues, including stormwater runoff liability, expansion of prevailing wages on ready-mix concrete drivers, and transportation funding.

POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE
$190,000+ raised
The focus of the PAC (Political Action Committee) is on fundraising and candidate endorsement. Specific activities include developing an annual fundraising plan for Board of Directors’ approval. This is particularly important in key election years. Fundraising includes a plan to solicit PAC donations, a plan for reception-type fundraisers sponsored by members in their offices, and coordination of key individual donations with the AGC. The PAC interviews candidates at the local, state, and national level, and makes endorsement recommendations to the Board of Directors.
CHAIRPERSON JON CLOUD J. Cloud, Inc.
2015 was a year for restructuring of the PAC and for political fundraising, as over $190,000 was raised. 50 members stepped up to the plate and joined the PAC, which now holds many of its meetings at the University Club in downtown San Diego. The PAC made early endorsement recommendations to AGC’s Board of Directors. These pro-economicdevelopment and pro-infrastructure candidates are running for re-election or election in the June 2016 Primary.

The PAC contributed funds, along with five other business organizations, to an Independent Expenditure campaign in support of Mayor Faulconer’s re-election. Fundraisers were held for Ray Ellis and Scott Sherman, and if both are victorious in 2016, there will be a 5 to 4 pro-business and pro-infrastructure majority on the San Diego City Council. Fixing the region’s deteriorating infrastructure continues to be a top priority, and the PAC’s annual membership/ fundraising drive will go a long way in helping pass future infrastructure funding measures.

LABOR RELATIONS COMMITTEE
The Labor Relations Committee is responsible for members’ labor relations. This includes agreements for union members and general labor relations for open shop members. The committee is responsible for AGC participation on the various Taft Hartley Fringe Funds, and the various Joint Apprenticeship and training committees.
CHAIRPERSON JOHN H. DALEY, JR.
LABOR NEGOTIATIONS Agreements between the AGC and various crafts did not expire in 2015. The agreements that AGC negotiates for its signatory members are recognized as the Master Labor Agreements in San Diego County. The agreements are used to establish the State of California Prevailing Wage and the Federal Davis-Bacon rates for each craft.
FRINGE BENEFITS TRUST AGC represented members on a number of Taft-Hartley joint labor management health, pension, apprenticeship, and other trusts that are part of the union collective bargaining agreements. In these challenging economic times, AGC works with the trustees to ensure proper funding. AGC was successful in working with AGC of America and the Building Trades to pass federal legislation improving the stability of multi-employer pension trusts. These changes prevent pension trusts from insolvency and taxpayer bailout, while reducing liabilities to contractors.

PREVAILING WAGE / LABOR COMPLIANCE ASSISTANCE AGC provided assistance with Prevailing Wage/Davis Bacon compliance and interpretation throughout the year. Several AGC staff members have strong backgrounds and understanding of these very complex and often confusing laws. AGC also maintains a strong relationship with the Department of Industrial Relations, which oversees the prevailing wage laws.
AGC ASSISTS MEMBERS WITH PICKETING / DUAL GATE A number of unions continue to target both AGC union and non-union members with picketing and demonstrations. AGC staff assists members with dual gates and other methods that eliminate or limit the picketing. AGC staff visits projects, contacts unions, and provides direct “front line” help with these situations. AGC SAN DIEGO

FALL PROTECTION TRAINING CAMPUS
#FallProtection
2015 brought the opening of AGC’s new state-of-the-art Fall Protection Training Campus. The Occupational Health & Safety Administration cites falls as the leading cause of death in construction. AGC built the campus to raise awareness with contractors and help ensure workers are better prepared. Injuries and fatalities are best prevented with hands-on training. Safety must come first. AGC teamed with members of the Safety Committee and experts from the Naval Facilities Engineering Command and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to provide the design to introduce the latest equipment and expert instruction. The hands-on training is structured around realistic simulators that enable participants to navigate real-world construction settings in a safe environment, including: a steel tower, pitched roofs, various wall-form systems, steel and wood column forms, concrete forms, and multiple rebar cages. The campus also includes confined space simulators - AGC provides a number of confined space courses as part of the curriculum.
FREE TRAINING FOR JOURNEYMEN
AGC’s Apprenticeship and Training Trust is the largest open-shop Training Trust in the United States. Nearly 1,000 students take advantage of the free training the Trust provides each year. 95% of AGC Education and Safety Training courses are now offered free of charge to eligible journeymen as part of the AGC Journeyman Upgrade Program.
CONSTRUCTION EDUCATION & SAFETY TRAINING AGC offers continuing education opportunities to the industry on a year-round basis. Each year, the AGC Education and Training Committee issues two catalogs of courses that include 8-10 classes per month on a variety of construction industry topics from estimating to hands-on safety training. AGC ensures that members have every opportunity to continue their education and pursue professional development. AGC SAN DIEGO
