Lots of Green at CATT Mixer

The color green was everywhere at the March 13 CATT Mixer hosted by Kelly Brothers Painting—even the treats had green touches! More than 100 people attended this event which started with a

ribbon-cutting to mark the grand opening of the new office/workshop of Kelly Brothers Painting on Trails End Court in Truckee. The CATT early bird renewal drawing for the 51 inch flat screen HDTV was held with Jones Corda Construction winning the TV. Playing off the St. Patrick’s Day theme, Kelly Brothers offered $50 cash for the best dressed in the “Wearin’ of the Green” contest. Winners were Michael Ellis (Reno Truss) and six-year old Lola Barta (daughter of Grant Barta with new CATT member company Tahoe Print Shop).

This Mixer was also the scene of a raffle fundraiser for C.A.T.T. Community Project, CATT’s charitable sister organization. The raffle was

March 5 “Member Orientation” Draws a Crowd!

The meeting room at the Hotel Truckee Tahoe was full of prospective and existing members who had all come to hear about CATT. Subtitled as “Everything

You Always Wanted to Know About CATT but Were Afraid to Ask,” the orientation not only informed attendees and rewarded them with swag, but it was also the place where two prospective members made the jump to new members!SEE MORE PHOTOS ON PAGE 4

A NOTE FROM THE President

As many of you probably know, HGTV built their 2014 Dream Home in Truckee’s Schaffer’s Mill community.

The winner was drawn this week from over 72 million entries and will be announced on April 11th. This has been a wonderful promotion for Truckee and the Lake Tahoe area. The Dream Home website featured beautiful photos of the home and the surrounding

Truckee Tahoe area and included a section detailing all of the incredible attributes of our area. Considering the advertising reach of HGTV and their Dream Home contest, this publicity alone would have been fabulous. However, there’s more. Schaffer’s Mill donated over $51,000 to the Tahoe Forest Health System Foundation from proceeds raised from tour ticket sales. Thank you HGTV and all that were involved. Now, I’m just waiting to be notified that I won…

I would also like to remind you that you still have time to get in the drawing for the iPad mini by referring a new member. The drawing will be at the Cinco De Mayo mixer on May 1st at Epic AV. Two iPad minis will be given away—one for the referring member and one for the new member.

Also, the golf tournament is on June 11th. This event always sells out early, so get your entry in now! Gary Crosswhite, 2014 CATT PRESIDENT

TRPA Construction BMPs—CORRECTION/CLARIFICATION

The March newsletter contained an outline of TRPA policy and program changes to mitigate the emissions/noise/vibration impacts of new construction. Please note that the Idling Limits section for heavy duty

diesel powered vehicles and equipment was not clear. The time limits relate to diesel vehicles only and are based on location of the project, not based on the state where the vehicle or equipment is registered.

Here is a better way to describe the limits: Idling limits for heavy duty diesel powered vehicles and equipment—15 minutes for projects located in Nevada and 5 minutes for projects located in CA

We apologize for any confusion. Please contact CATT Executive Director Pat Davison 530-550-9999 or pat@ca-tt.com if you have any questions or need more details.

SUCCESS with Nevada County Environmental HealthGordy Cross with Lake Tahoe Designs was frustrated because a vacancy

in the Truckee office of Nevada County Environmental Health was causing great inconvenience to designers and others. The vacancy meant that no one locally was able to answer questions and sometimes a drive over the summit was required to speak with EH staff in Nevada City.

Gordy asked CATT LGAC (Local Government Affairs Committee) for support to request that the Truckee vacancy be filled. CATT LGAC agreed

and CATT Executive Director Pat Davison drafted a letter for Gordy to use on behalf of CATT LGAC. That letter prompted several phone calls from County leaders and the end result is that EHS Specialist Dave Slaughter was named to serve the eastern side of Nevada County for 3–5 days a week. Dave can be reached by email: david.slaughter@co.nevada.ca.us or phone: 530-265-1531.

The moral of the story is: Come to CATT LGAC meetings and share your issues. You may think you are alone when in reality others may be experiencing the same frustrations. Use the power of numbers—CATT —to help you seek a remedy. The world is run by those who show up! Remember, getting assistance with issues is one of the many benefits provided by your CATT membership. Future LGAC Meetings and SpeakersUpcoming CATT LGAC (Local Government Affairs Committee) Meetings and Guest Speakers—all meetings are 4:00 p.m. at the CATT office. Any member is welcome to attend.

Truckee Community Building – Our Partners and Friends

The Truckee Community Building is CATT’s vision for a non-profit shared office space in Truckee. CATT’s charitable sister organization, C.A.T.T. Community Project, is spearheading this effort.

Seven partnering non-profit organizations have already come on board and stated publicly that they stand with CATT and C.A.T.T. Community Project in support of the Truckee Community Building. These groups are interested in being part of the project and moving into the Truckee Community Building.

Our partners and friends include the Truckee Lutheran Presbyterian Church, Sierra Senior Services, Tahoe Safe Alliance, Family Resource Center of Truckee, Project Mana, YoungLife, and Tahoe Food Hub.

The Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation, Community Collaborative, and Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation are also lending support to the project, but do not foresee their agency or group setting up an office in the Truckee Community Building.

For more information about the Truckee Community Building, call the CATT office at 530-550-9999 or go to www.TruckeeCommunityBuilding.com

BE AWARE OF BACKWATER VALVES

Building a new home? You should be aware of backwater valves. These devices prevent waste water from backing up into a structure. Section 710.1 of the plumbing code requires them on all homes that

have fixture units below the next upstream manhole. Truckee Sanitary District (TSD) is working closely with the Town of Truckee and Placer County Building Departments to ensure compliance with this regulation. If a backwater valve is required, important changes to the house plumbing are also required. These changes should be addressed during design or very early in the construction process to avoid costly problems. More information on backwater valves can be found on TSD’s website at truckeesan.org or by calling TSD’s Inspection Department at 530-587-3804.

2014 Material and Labor Increases by Mark Tanner, Mark Tanner Construction

Architects and Clients often ask about cost increases from year to year. We initiated our own study to determine what type of material and labor cost increases have occurred from 2013 to 2014 (yes they are almost

all increases!). This is good information for CATT members to have.

Roofing: 4–8% increase on labor, 4–8% increase on material

Metal: Consistently fluctuating, very unstable market

Stone: 3–5% increase per SF

Lumber: 20–25% increase

Drywall: 40% increase

Windows: 3.5% increase

Interior Doors: 15–20% increase in hardwoods, 5% increase in hardware

Steel Doors: 5% increase

Electrical: 2–3% increase in material

Fireplaces: 2–3% increase in fireplaces, labor the same

Flue: 5% increase

Spas: 3–10% increase depending on model

We are waiting for replies back on these items but feel confident in projecting assumed increases based on our research.

Concrete: Steady 5% increase on material and labor

Framing: 5% increase on labor

Paint: 5–7% increase on material, and about 3–5% increase on labor

Excavation: 2–5% increase on labor

Insulation: 5–6% Increase on material, no change on labor

Tile/Granite: 10–15% increase on material and delivery fees

Plumbing: 4–5% increase on material and 1–2% increase on labor due to Workman’s Comp

Boilers and Water Heaters: 2–3% increase

Brass Products: 30–50% increase

MITIGATION FEES AND OTHER FEES:Sewer District: No increase

Placer County Administration Fees: Increase of 0.49% for residential and commercial (from $108.69 to $109.22)

Placer County Traffic Mitigation Fees: Increase of $127 for single family residential

For more information about these numbers or projections, contact Mark at Mark Tanner Construction, 530-587-4000 or Mark@MarkTannerConstruction.com.

CAPITOL CONNECTION

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

While it’s certain contractors need to be licensed, some other “players” must also “ante up” if they want to be in the construction “game”. What seems like a simple mistake, you might also be making, could

leave another contractor in “suspense” if he doesn’t act quickly to correct it, because, as Oliver Wendell Holmes said, “Ignorance of the law is no excuse.”

Q: I am a construction consultant. I don’t do any building work, but basically design the structure, make sure that the job runs smoothly and on budget, and I sometimes arrange for contractors and their crews to perform the job. I don’t have any experience in the field but I do have a degree in Architecture. I was recently told that I need a contractor’s license to consult on these projects. My first question, am I required to be licensed? And secondly, how would I obtain a license with no field experience?

A: Yes, construction consultants are required to be licensed with the CSLB. B&P Code Section 7026.1 addresses this issue and states that ‘anyone who oversees bids and construction projects and/or arranges subcontractor work and schedules is in fact acting in the capacity of a contractor and is required to be licensed.’

To answer the second part of your question, you would not be able to qualify for a contractor’s license with no field experience. In order to qualify for a license, you are required to show four years of full-time work experience in the trade you are applying for, with one of those years being hands-on field experience. However, the CSLB will give you credit for your architectural degree. Without the hands-on experience though, you may want to consider

hiring an individual who does have the General Building experience to act as your qualifying individual.

Q: I have a landscaping license in CA and I have the phrase “Licensed and Bonded” on my business cards. I recently read an article online that stated that it was against CSLB policy to refer to your bond in advertising. What is the penalty for this? I’ve unknowingly had this on my business cards for years.

A: Obviously my first suggestion would be to get new business cards printed without the reference to your bond ASAP. Any reference to your bond in advertisements is grounds for suspension of your contractor’s license. I am not aware of any further penalties.

Q: We are in the process of obtaining a Contractor’s License for our company, which is an Limited Liability Company or LLC. We submitted our insurance certificate to the CSLB and they rejected it stating that our insurance carrier is not acceptable. Can you shed some light on this for us? We are not sure what they are looking for.

A: B&P Code section 7071.19 (c) requires that; LLC liability insurance policies be written by insurers that are “duly licensed by this state or an eligible surplus line insurer.” According to the legal office of the California Department of Insurance (CDI), the only insurers that are duly licensed by the State of California are admitted insurers that are licensed by CDI. You can call us for further assistance or visit the CSLB’s website for a searchable list of approved carriers at https://www2.cslb.ca.gov/OnlineServices/InsuranceSearch/WCRe-quest.aspx.

While knowledge is power, knowing where to go for the answers is half the battle. Get expert assistance immediately when you call 866-443-0657, email info@cutredtape.com, or write us at Capitol Services, Inc., 1225 8th St., Ste.
