COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) In a move aimed at saving taxpayer money, Ohio legislators have changed the state’s construction laws to lower what workers must be paid on certain jobs and simplify the awarding of contracts. The revisions were among those inserted into the two-year budget lawmakers approved this summer. Legislators reduced the number of instances in which contractors have to pay workers a prevailing wage, tied to the local union scale and generally higher than what might otherwise be paid. The change means fewer projects will require contractors to pay workers the higher wage. The General Assembly also said contracting of public projects has been streamlined. No longer must each component — such as plumbing and electrical wiring — be bid on individually. Here are some questions and answers about how the changes affect workers and companies, and how they are expected to save taxpayers money. Q: When will companies be able to pay lower wages? A: If a taxpayer-funded project costs Ohio less than $125,000, contractors are not required to pay workers a wage on par with the union scale. By 2013, that limit will increase to $250,000. Gov. John Kasich wanted the cap set at $5 million, but the legislature agreed on the smaller amount. Before the change, projects costing less than $78,258 were exempt from state prevailing wage laws. The changes only apply to the construction of structures such as buildings and parks. Highways, roads and bridges are typically funded with federal dollars, so they are covered under a different wage law. Q: Will this save taxpayers money? A: It will, but it is unclear how much will be saved. The savings will come from contractors being able to make lower bids for qualifying projects, since they can pay lower wages. However, both proponents and opponents of the prevailing wage agree that few projects will come in below the eventual $250,000 limit. Q: How many projects will be affected?

A: Estimates differ. Proponents of higher thresholds — such as the governor’s proposed $5 million — say the new limits are so small that they won’t make a difference. Unions opposed the move, saying up to 30 percent of public projects could be affected, as union contractors may opt not to bid on projects in an area where they are competing against companies who can underbid them by paying their workers less. Q: Will construction workers see smaller paychecks? A: Possibly. Those in favor of eliminating prevailing wage altogether say skilled employees won’t work for a contractor who doesn’t pay a decent wage. However, opponents say contractors will use the new laws to drive down the cost of labor in order to underbid other businesses.

Legislators reduced the number of instances in which contractors have to pay workers a prevailing wage, tied to the local union scale and generally higher than what might otherwise be paid. Q: How did the state change the way contracts are awarded? A: Since 1877, Ohio has required that each component of a project be bid on individually. For example, when Ohio State University began its medical center expansion, different companies bid on the plumbing, the wiring and the construction. Now one company will be allowed to bid on the entire project and hire subcontractors to take care of those individual components. Q: How will that save taxpayers money? A: An Ohio contractors’ group said it will make the process more efficient by bringing all contractors to the table earlier in the process, which saves time and 10 to 30 percent off the price of a project. Jack Hershey with Ohio State University’s Office of Government Relations said it can shave 6 months to a year off the process. However, exact numbers aren’t available, as it is uncertain how many new public projects will begin once the changes take effect, or what contractors will bid on them.

SOS, Palfinger Team to Get Challenging Job Done Right DRILLING from page 4

system all over again. Charles Hamrick, vice president of drilling fluids, mentioned that they have seen additional benefits by having two sizes of Palfinger cranes. Both the PK 40002 and the PK 32080 are rear mounted and serve several functions. “The bigger crane allows us to have more reach and lift capacity while the smaller crane is lighter which allows us to have more payload on the trailer,” he said, adding that they are usually asked to assist in moving equipment for mining companies when they see what the knucklebooms can do. Edward Moyer, vice president of solids control explained that he and Hamrick have always been in the mining business with at least 30 years of combined experience between them. Moyer handles the solid byproducts as well as the equipment and fabrication of tools they use at Specialty Oilfield Solutions. Moyer said that they’ve kept busy with the 20 centrifuge and 16 drying shaker units that they currently employ. This keeps their knuckleboom cranes on the move delivering one or two of the devices to each site. In some cases, all of the machines have been working at sites simultaneously. When it came to deciding to purchase their cranes, Moyer and Hamrick agreed that there was no question that they’d go with Palfinger, adding that at Nemsco, a company they’d helped to build prior to SOS, “we had around 10 Palfinger cranes and were satisfied with the way they performed.” Moyer also was instrumental in converting a Haliburton location in Ohio to Palfinger cranes. Moyer explained that having their own cranes was instrumental to their business. Previously, they had to use two trucks to transport each centrifuge, which measures roughly

Burns Industrial Adds MH Equipment’s Twinsburg Business Pittsburgh-based Yale Industrial Trucks — d/b/a Burns Industrial Equipment, has acquired MH Equipment’s Twinsburg, Ohio, business. The acquisition makes Burns Industrial Equipment the new authorized Hyster lift truck dealer for select counties in the Cleveland, Ohio, area. “We are delighted to expand our lift truck footprint to represent the Hyster brand in northeastern Ohio,” said Chris Burns, owner and dealer principal of Burns Industrial Equipment. “Burns Industrial Equipment’s dedicated workforce and customer service culture will be incorporated into the Twinsburg acquisition.” The newly acquired Ohio counties include Ashland, Carroll, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Holmes, Lake, Lorain, Medina Portage, Stark, Summit, Tuscarawas and Wayne. “Becoming an authorized Hyster dealer allows us the opportunity to bring our unique customer satisfaction approach to the Cleveland market as we have done in Pittsburgh for 40 years,” added Burns. Recognized 16 times as a Yale Dealer of Excellence, Burns Industrial Equipment has been the exclusive Yale lift truck dealer in western Pennsylvania since 1972.

14 ft. (4.3 m) long. One truck carried the apparatus while the other brought the crane. With the help of Palfinger dealer Tiffin Loader Crane, they were able to design and build trucks that not only hold the articulated crane, but the 8,600 lb. (3,900 kg) centrifuge units. Reach isn’t a problem either, especially since the trucks are most often able to align the trailers near the placement site of the centrifuge. They average a distance of about 20 ft. (6 m) when transferring the equipment from truck bed to job site. According to Jason Smith, sales representative at TLC, the

PK 32080 and PK 40002 that SOS owns have horizontal reach capacities of over 46 ft. (14 m) and nearly 68 ft. (21 m), respectively. Specialty Oilfield Solutions has only been at the Leetsdale location since March of this year but business has exploded for it. In fact, it is quickly outgrowing its warehouse that it thought they would never fill. Its territory encompasses the Northeastern United States, including Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, New York, Virginia and West Virginia, or more simply, wherever Marcellus Shale mining takes place.
