THE MONTHLY NEWSLETTER FOR MEMBERS OF CATT

CATT Mixer August 12

erguson’s Bath, Kitchen & Lighting Gallery in the Pioneer Commerce Center was the place to be August 12 as dozens of CATT members and friends played “Ferguson-themed” games, ate great food, and won awesome raffle prizes. What seemed like a never-ending supply of grilled tri tip (thanks to Sierra Meat Company and James Mabry with Lynx Grill) started the meal, to be finished off by huge slices of watermelon and an array of delicious pies. No one left hungry! Attendees at the August 12 Mixer got a real treat when inspecting the fancy Lynx BBQ – the “Smart BBQ” talked to them! That’s right—a “smart” BBQ with an all-weather, built-in computer made its debut! It was a crowd pleaser just by itself! The CATT Mixer Committee held a special raffle for those members who had attended two or more mixers. Those loyal Mixer goers were in a drawing for $50 cash. On the fourth name drawn (the first three were not present), Cindy O’Connor with GutterGlove of Nevada County was the big winner. Thanks to Ferguson for hosting this Mixer and to these generous Mixer Donors for their support: Andersen Windows, CORE Construction Management, Hampton Inn & Suites Tahoe Truckee, Meridian Concrete, Sierra Meat & Seafood, Signature Landscapes, Simpson StrongTie, Spirit Tahoe Interior Design, and Soil Tech Environmental And thanks to these members and supporters for providing raffle prizes: Andersen Windows, Ferguson Bath, Kitchen & Lighting Gallery, Lombardi Insurance Solutions, Lynx, Mountain Comfort Furnishings & Design, Reno Truss, ServPro, Signature Landscapes, Simpson StrongTie, Studio B6, Tri Counties Bank, and Waddell & Reed

A NOTE FROM THE

President

October CATT Calendar

All activities are at the CATT office unless otherwise noted.

here are so many things to be excited about and get involved with your organization. The annual CATT Christmas Holiday Party is in full swing for the Hyatt in Incline Village. The party provides great opportunities to make your presence known amongst your fellow members and the public at large. This year’s party has some exciting new things to see and enjoy. It’s absolutely a prestigious event and a great way to show your clients or staff what success you’re a part of and how you make a difference in the community. How about all the mixers and seminars CATT has organized this year! The networking and education that’s been produced has supplied all of our members with so many great opportunities to save in education and training for employees and staff. I’ve personally made great new connections amongst our members at the mixers to source CATT member services and new clients. A special thank you to our members who have done such a great job putting events together. They work very hard to put the best of member benefits together for members and their service to CATT is commendable! Please contact CATT staff or myself to see how you as a member can best benefit from involvement with any number of our committees that help make our organization a front runner in the industry!

Please take a couple of minutes and go to the CATT website (www.ca-tt.com) to cast your vote for Builder, Sub-Contractor, Professional, Supplier, Volunteer, and New Member of the Year. Thanks to these CATT members who helped me with selecting the future publisher for the CATT Guide: Gary Crosswhite (Meridian Concrete), Michelle Erskine (Erskine Commercial Photography), Greg Haupert (Sierra Integrated Systems), and Justin Scharp (The Real Graphic Source). These members not only proofed the Request for Proposal before it went out but they participated in interviews with four prospective publishers and held a conference call afterward to make a selection. Last, but not least, thanks to Joan Jones (Jones Corda Construction) for helping the Tahoe City PUD as a representative of CATT. Joan was part of a panel conducting interviews for the TCPUD Compliance Services Supervisor position.

Showcasing a portfolio of completed private theaters and detailing their architectural design and science-based process, this new site explains Keith Yates Design’s role among the client, builder, architect and A/V integrator. Go to www. keithyates.com and check it out! The “Nevada Builders Alliance (NBA)” is the new name of a group that had been known as the Builders Association of Western Nevada. NBA was originally established in 1966 as the Ormsby County Builders’ Association by a handful of builders looking to protect the interests of a growing industry. Throughout the years, the organization has evolved several times. Their website states, “On the eve of our 50-year anniversary, it is time to evolve once again. With over 700 member companies representing tens of thousands of hard-working Nevadans in every corner of the state, we have grown to become the Nevada Builders Alliance.” NBA is a CATT reciprocal member. Happy 50th Birthday to NBA!

Update on Truckee Traffic Fees

Through the generosity of several donors, CATT was able to hire an outside consultant to review the Town of Truckee Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) Update currently underway. Traffic Impact Fees are paid by new development each time a building permit is pulled. The current Town TIF rate is $5,926 for a new single family residence. TIF amounts vary by land use. The fees are used to pay for roadway and intersection improvements to maintain an acceptable Level of Service and avoid failure due to new growth. The fees cannot be used to remedy an existing deficiency. The current list of projects funded by the TIF includes 17 intersections, 7 roadways, plus improvements in a jurisdictional fee share with Eastern Placer County. The Town General Plan states that Donner Pass Road will be maintained as a three lane roadway (two lanes of traffic with a left turn lane). The intent is to preserve Truckee’s “community character.” As growth generates more vehicles, Donner Pass Road in the Gateway area will fail on a more constant basis. That failure necessitates the construction of the Pioneer Trail/Bridge Street extension as an alternate roadway. The Town position has been that 100% of the $24+ million cost to build the Pioneer Trail/Bridge Street extension should be paid for by new development. The cost to construct the Pioneer Trail/Bridge Street extension has represented about 30% of all project costs on the TIF list. CATT has long believed that the Pioneer Trail/Bridge Street extension, aka the 3rd Tahoe Donner connector, should be looked at differently because there appears to be an existing deficiency with capacity and emergency access. This is an issue of “fairness”—who should pay for the Pioneer Trail/Bridge Street improvement? CATT’s consultant, DPFG, identified a different cost share allocation for the Pioneer Trail/Bridge Street extension. DPFG’s allocation proposes 35% to be paid for by TIF with 65% to be paid for by the Town or non-TIF monies. This is the CATT position. The split is simply based on the current Buildout ratio where approximately 65% of the Town’s residential and non-residential buildout has occurred with 35% of the residential and non-residential construction still to come. CATT Executive Director Pat Davison presented the DPFG memo with 35/65 split to the Town’s TIF Advisory Group on September 23. Pat also presented a low end scenario that uses the degree of failure of Donner Pass Road as the basis of the cost split. That split uses an 8.25% allocation to be paid for by new development with 91.75% to be paid for by Town or non-TIF monies. The Town’s

consultant predicts failure of Donner Pass Road in 10–15 years. Expected volume then will be 866 vehicles per peak hour per lane. An acceptable capacity is 800 vehicles per peak hour per lane. The degree of failure is 8.25% or 66 vehicles over the acceptable threshold of 800. At the September 23 meeting, Town staff gave a revised project cost for the Pioneer Trail/ Bridge Street Extension at $21 million. Town staff also suggested two variations for the Pioneer Trail/Bridge Street extension cost share allocation. One cost share proposal suggests that 89% of the extension be paid for by TIF with 11% to be paid for by the Town or nonTIF monies. The other proposal suggests 60% of the extension be paid for by TIF with 40% to be paid for by the Town or non-TIF monies. Both variations use existing volume per peak hour per lane compared to future volume, the difference being a future volume with and without the extension. The Town Council is the ultimate decision maker on the policy question of what, if any, different cost share allocation should be assigned to new development. Given the range from 100% (current requirement) to 8.25% (low end scenario), the Council has a lot to think about. CATT is grateful for the opportunity to discuss these options with the Council.

Truckee Building & Safety Division News Fall and Winter Erosion Prevention in Truckee

ctober 15, 2015 is the excavation and grading deadline for commercial and multifamily projects in Truckee. As this date approaches, grading and excavation work should cease and sites should be protected against rain and snow effects with erosion prevention methods. Bare soil should be protected in accordance with an erosion prevention plan, stockpiles should be covered and runoff from all construction sites should be controlled. Exceptions to the October 15 deadline will be considered by the Community Development Director on a case-by-case basis. Please contact Senior Engineer Mike Vaughan at 530-582-2923 with questions or extension requests on commercial and multifamily projects. The Town of Truckee allows grading and excavating on most singlefamily residence sites year round. The same efforts as above should be made to ensure that these sites are protected against erosion. All grading or excavation that does occur during fall and winter on singlefamily residence sites needs to be done in a manner that protects against erosion.

If you are planning to obtain a final inspection on a project during the winter or spring, you are encouraged to complete all grading and final erosion prevention and obtain a final grading inspection prior to the arrival of snow. Final grading can be done immediately after stripping foundation forms, and final erosion prevention methods can be installed anytime thereafter. Inspectors will be ensuring that all projects are protected against erosion as the October 15 deadline approaches. For details on specific erosion prevention methods, see the approved erosion prevention plan for your specific project. Additionally, the Town has general guidelines available at www.townoftruckee.com/building and safety/ erosion prevention standards. Should you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call or simply stop by my office anytime.

Johnny Goetz, CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIAL

Fiber rolls or wire backed silt fences are the preferred temporary erosion prevention methods during the winter.

CONNECTION

Q&A for Contractors By Shauna Krause, President, Capitol Services, Inc.

an you walk right in, sit right down and take the license exam? A General wants to get off the ‘asphalt’ and set up a ‘concrete’ detour, while a handyman walks the line, only occasionally running over the rules… Q: I have an “A” license and my company generally does roadwork construction. A subcontractor who we frequently use for various projects, requested that we do some concrete work for a residential job that he is doing. Are we allowed to take a job for just concrete with our General (“A”) license? A: According to the CSLB’s website, “an “A” contractor can contract to perform all or any part of a project that falls under the “A” classification…therefore an “A” contractor could take a contract to build a fence or pour concrete if the work was originally or is currently part of the type of projects listed in B&P Code section 7056 (airports, roads and similar “fixed works”). That being said, B&P Code section 7056 lists various projects that fall under the “A” classification such as roadwork, power plants, pipeline, etc. but with regards to concrete it states “paving and surfacing work and cement and concrete works in connection with the above-mentioned fixed works.” My interpretation of that is that no, you would not be able to contract for just a concrete job unless it is in connection to a project that required other engineering knowledge and skill. Q: I am currently in the process of obtaining my license and the CSLB recently scheduled me a test date but its three weeks out. I was hoping to get in sooner because I have a project coming up that I want to bid on. Is there any way to get my exam date pushed ahead?

A: Yes, once you have an exam date the CSLB allows you to take the exams on a walk-in basis in any of their testing locations. From what we hear, the walk-in method is very successful. We always recommend bringing your testing notification with you. Good luck! Q: I am self-employed and have been doing construction work for many years without a license. Most of my projects are under $500, but I do admit that I have done projects that have been over $500. I want to obtain my contractor’s license, but I’m not sure how to document my experience since it was unlicensed work. Will I automatically be cited when they are made aware of my work? A: When you apply for a contractor’s license, the CSLB doesn’t automatically cite you when you document unlicensed activity. The CSLB’s goal is to license experienced contractors because they do not want you to continue operating without a license. The key for you will be documenting your history, as self-employment experience is difficult to prove. When you submit your application the CSLB will likely give you a list of supporting documents (in addition to your Certification of Work Experience page) that you may need to supply such as permits, contracts, cancelled checks, etc. ______________________________________________________________________________________ While knowledge is power, knowing where to go for the answers is half the battle.
