Weatherization and Auditing Classes at Santa Barbara City CollegeBy Patrick Foster, SBCC Construction Academy
Foster is offering Roof Framing (CT 113), Mea-suring and Calculating (CT 118, trade math), and 2 new “green-collar” classes (Weatheriza-tion and Sustainability Audit).
Let me put in a word about the weatheriza-tion and auditing classes. It is becoming ob-vious that the first step toward energy and water efficiency is weatherization rather than alternative energy. We will need non-fossil-fuel energy in order to stop contributing to global warming and negative climate change, but the easiest and cheapest way to conserve energy (and water) is to tighten up our homes and businesses. The Weatherization class (CT 124) covers both diagnostic and remediation phases of using less energy and water. It cov-ers blower-door testing, infrared scanning, and duct-blasting and teaches about sealing the building shell, installing insulation and flashing properly, sealing HVAC ductwork, etc.
The Sustainability Audit class (CT 127) covers the basic audit process (energy consumption, water issues, indoor air quality), audit tools (visual inspection, diagnostic tools, computer programs), creating audit forms (surveys, in-spector checklists, summaries, and recom-mendations), audit business issues, perform-ing an on-site inspection, combustion gas
As many of you know, the Construction Tech-nology program at SBCC got its AS/Certificate status last summer. Now students, carpen-ters, contractors, realtors, and architects can continue to take “drop-in” classes in a variety of building topics, but can also now earn a City College Certificate (8 construction tech classes only) and an Associate of Science de-gree in Construction Technology (with some additional general ed. classes).
This Spring semester (beginning in late Janu-ary), the Construction Academy is offering 7 16-week classes in the construction field. Rodney Utt is teaching his yearly cabinet mak-ing course (CT 115), and Jim Cunningham is teaching Intro to Construction Trades (CT 111) and Contractors License Prep (CT 130). Patrick
inspections, etc. This is good pre-BPI training for those who need extra exposure to these topics and skills.
Some of your businesses may already incor-porate weatherization and auditing as special services in green building or comprehensive general contracting, so if you need more training for your employees or are consider-ing broadening your services in this direction, these would be helpful classes.
For information on the specific classes, the program, or enrolling, call Patrick Foster at 455-3187.

Contractor License Information Reminder:
When prospective customers check your license detail page on CSLB’s
website, you’ll want to be sure it contains correct, complete, and up-
to-date information. Put your best foot forward and also avoid possible
citation or fine by promptly submitting changes to CSLB about your con-
tact and license information, using the “Changing Business Name and/or
Address or Certified Wall and/or Pocket Certificate” form, located in the
Forms and Applications section of the CSLB website. Forms for changes
to license personnel also are available in the same section.

SANTA BARBARA CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATIONWEEKLY NEWSLETTER January 2, 2013
New, Revised Laws Affect State Contracting PracticesLegislation Strengthens CSLB Consumer Protection Measures
Force (which includes CSLB) to aid in prose-cuting tax withholding and workers’ compen-sation insurance violations.
AB 2219 indefinitely extends the requirement that all C-39 Roofing contractors obtain work-ers’ compensation insurance coverage, even if they certify that they have no employees. The bill also extends, indefinitely, the require-ment that insurers conduct annual audits, and requires that these audits be conducted in person to verify the accuracy of the reported number of employees.
SB 691 adds CSLB to the list of agencies ap-proved to receive workers’ compensation in-surance information from EDD.
Regulations/PermitsAB 2114 enacts new construction permit re-quirements for swimming pools, spas, or pub-lic wading pools.
SB 1099 changes the effective date of regu-lations to four times annually, versus the cur-rent 30 days following Office of Administra-tive Law (OAL) approval, and requires OAL to provide a link on its website to all regulations filed with the Secretary of State.
SB 1520 makes minor changes to the state’s regulatory adoption processes.
CalRecycle’s Paint Stewardship Program is now in effect. These regulations outline the steps for recycling unused architectural paint.
Public Works ContractingAB 2440 makes changes impacting those con-tracting for public works projects with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
SB 1370 requires the Department of Industrial Relations to post on its website prevailing wage requirements on public works projects.
SB 1549 changes public works contract bid-ding in the San Diego region.
Boards and LicenseesAB 1588 waives fees or continuing education requirements for a licensee whose license ex-pires while on active duty in the Armed Forces or California National Guard.
AB 1904 allows for the issuance of temporary professional licenses (including those issued by CSLB) to spouses of those serving in the
SACRAMENTO – The broadly used term “con-sultant” as it relates to building and construc-tion work becomes more clearly defined once Assembly Bill 2237 takes effect on January 1, 2013. The new law, sponsored by the Con-tractors State License Board (CSLB), states that anyone who provides or oversees bids for construction, arranges for subcontractor work and schedules, and/or has oversight for a project is, in fact, acting in the capacity of a contractor and must be state-licensed. In Cali-fornia, a state contractor license is required for any project that is more than $500 in com-bined labor and material costs.
“AB 2237 is a valuable consumer protection measure and will place project responsibility where it belongs,” said CSLB Registrar Steve Sands. “All too often, people who don’t have a state contractor license call themselves con-struction consultants and encourage prop-erty owners to take on a home improvement project as the owner-builder. The so-called consultant collects a fee and many times leaves the homeowners with all of the project responsibility and liability.”
Owner-builders that employ workers must be registered as an employer with the Employ-ment Development Department and must have protective measures in place for work-ers, including workers’ compensation insur-ance in the event of an onsite injury. The ho-meowner becomes responsible for all phases of a project and its integrity, including pulling project permits, requesting inspections, and making sure local and state building codes are met. The new law will clearly define when someone is a contractor and discourage un-scrupulous individuals from working under a fraudulently obtained owner-builder permit.
Another CSLB-sponsored bill strengthens enforcement authority over contractors who violate state contracting laws. AB 2554 amends Business and Professions Code sec-tions 7011.4 and 7106.5 to enable the CSLB Enforcement division and its representatives to issue notices to appear in court related to disciplinary actions against a license.
Several other laws affecting consumers, con-tractors, and the construction industry take effect January 1, 2013:
Workers’ Compensation InsuranceAB 1794 authorizes the Employment Devel-opment Department (EDD) to provide new employee information filed by employers with members of the Joint Enforcement Strike
military.
AB 2570 prohibits a licensee from including provisions in settlements of a civil dispute that prohibit the consumer from contacting, filing a complaint, or withdrawing a complaint with CSLB (or any other consumer protection program overseen by the Department of Con-sumer Affairs).
SB 1576 enables CSLB to take administra-tive action if a licensee files a false complaint against another licensee.
The California Air Resources Board issued a regulatory advisory regarding labeling re-quirements for off-road diesel-fueled con-struction vehicles.
The Occupational Safety and Health Stan-dards Board introduced regulations pertain-ing to safety orders for forklifts, excavators, and woodworking equipment and machines, but will not proceed with those related to lad-derway openings.
Additional Construction LawsAB 1750 specifies that a C-27 Landscaping contractor can enter into a prime contract for a rainwater capture project.
AB 2339 requires state regulators and those involved in the heat pump and geothermal heating and cooling industries to evaluate policies and develop infrastructure for wider use of these technologies.
SB 1092 requires brokers of construction trucking services to demonstrate evidence annually of a valid surety bond.
The Contractors State License Board operates under the umbrella of the California Depart-ment of Consumer Affairs. More information and publications about hiring contractors are available on the CSLB website or by calling 800-321-CSLB (2752). You can also sign up for CSLB email alerts. CSLB licenses and regulates Cali-fornia’s 300,000 contractors, and is regarded as one of the leading consumer protection agen-cies in the United States. In fiscal year 2010-11, CSLB helped recover nearly $45 million in or-dered restitution for consumers.

GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTERS
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are devices designed to prevent accidental electric shock and electrocution by preventing ground
faults. They also protect against electrical fires, tool/appliance overheating, and destruction of wire insulation. GFCI’s are required by
building code in “wet” locations like kitchens and bathrooms and by CalOSHA at construction sites.
The most common electric shock hazard, ground faults can cause severe electrical shock or electrocution. In normal conditions, electricity
runs in a closed circuit; electricity flows out on the "hot" wire and returns on the "neutral" wire, completing the circuit. A ground fault occurs
when the electrical current does not complete its circuit and unintentionally flows to the ground. Ground faults can cause fires and are
dangerous when they flow through a person to the ground.
Ground fault shocks can happen when a person comes into contact with the "hot" side of an electrical circuit with wet hands or while
standing in water or on a wet floor. GFCI’s protect against ground faults by measuring the current on the electrical circuit; current in the hot
and neutral wires should be equal or close to equal. If a ground fault occurs, the GFCI outlet or GFCI circuit breaker senses the change in
current and trips, breaking the circuit and stopping the flow of electricity. The GFCI does not protect workers from line contact hazards (i.e.
a person holding two "hot" wires, a hot and a neutral wire in each hand, or contacting an overhead power line).
Different GFCI types are available for a variety of situations. GFCI circuit breakers snap into the main electrical panel and provide ground
fault protection on all outlets on that branch circuit. GFCI wall receptacle outlets provide ground fault protection at that outlet and
downstream. Portable GFCI units such as receptacles, extension cords, and cord-connected devices contain GFCI circuitry. Portable GFCI
devices should only be used on a temporary basis and should be tested prior to every use.
GFCI’s have test and reset buttons for a reason; they must be tested regularly. For general use, GFCI’s should be tested and inspected
monthly. For construction site GFCI’s, a written inspection plan should be in place and a competent person should conduct per iodic tests
and visual inspections before each day’s use. Records of the testing must be kept.
GFCI Inspections should look for external defects such as deformed or missing pins, insulation damage, and indications of internal damage.
Damaged or defective equipment should not be used until repaired. Additional inspections are required if an outlet is returned to service
following repairs and after any incident which can be reasonably suspected to have caused damage (for example, when a cord set is run
over).
For specific information on testing procedures and OSHA requirements, including an assured equipment grounding conductor program, visit
the OSHA website at:www.dir.ca.gov.

INTERRUPTORES CON DETECCIÓN DE FALLA A TIERRA
Los interruptores con detección de falla a tierra (GFCI, por sus siglas en inglés de Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters) son dispositivos diseñados para evitar choques eléctricos accidentales o electrocución evitando el paso de la corriente a tierra. También protegen contra incendios ocasionados por fallas eléctricas, sobrecalentamiento de herramientas o electrodomésticos y daños al aislamiento de los cables. Los códigos de la construcción exigen el uso de los GFCI en lugares “húmedos”, tales como cocinas y baños, y Cal/OSHA los exige en los sitios de construcción.
La causa más común de riesgo de choque eléctrico son las fallas a tierra, y pueden causar choques eléctricos graves o electrocución. Bajo condiciones normales, la electricidad pasa por un circuito cerrado, pasando por el conductor “vivo” y regresando por el “neutro”,completando así el circuito. Una falla a tierra ocurre cuando la corriente eléctrica no completa su circuito, sino que pasa a tierra en un lugar inesperado. Las fallas a tierra pueden ocasionar incendios y son peligrosas cuando pasan a través de una persona en su trayecto a tierra.
Los choques por falla a tierra pueden ocurrir cuando una persona entra en contacto con un conductor “vivo” teniendo las manos mojadas o estando parada en agua o sobre un piso mojado. Los GFCI protegen contra fallas a tierra midiendo la corriente en el circuito eléctrico. La corriente en el conductor “vivo” y en el “neutro”deben ser iguales o casi iguales. Si ocurre una falla a tierra, la toma de corriente con GFCI o el disyuntor de GFCI abre el circuito, deteniendo el paso de la corriente. Un GFCI no protege al trabajador contra los peligros de contacto directo con los conductores (por ejemplo, una persona que toque a la vez dos conductores “vivos”, el conductor “vivo” y el “neutro”, o que entre en contacto con una línea elevada de suministro eléctrico).
Hay diferentes tipos de dispositivos GFCI para situaciones diferentes. Los disyuntores GFCI se instalan en el panel de distribución eléctrica y proporcionan protección a todo lo largo del circuito que alimentan. Las tomas de corriente con característica GFCI proporcionan protección en esa toma y todas las demás tomas que le siguen en ese circuito de alimentación. Las unidades portátiles con GFCI, tales como tomas de corriente, cordones de extensión y dispositivos conectados por cordones, cuentan con circuitos de GFCI. Los dispositivos portátiles son sólo para uso temporal y deben probarse antes de cada uso.
Los GFCI tienen botones para prueba y reposición por una razón: deben probarse periódicamente. Para uso general, los GFCI deben probarse e inspeccionarse mensualmente. En sitios de construcción, debe haber un plan escrito de inspección, y una persona competente debe llevar a cabo pruebas periódicas e inspecciones visuales antes de su uso cada día. Es necesario llevar registros de las pruebas.
Las inspecciones de los GFCI deben descubrir defectos externos, tales como clavijas deformadas o faltantes, daños al aislamiento o indicios de daños internos. Los equipos dañados o defectuosos no deben usarse hasta que sean reparados. Se requieren inspecciones adicionales si una toma de corriente se regresa a servicio después de ser reparada y después de cualquier incidente que razonablemente se pueda sospechar que haya causado algún daño (por ejemplo, que un vehículo pase sobre un cable).
Para obtener información específica sobre los procedimientos de prueba y los requisitos de OSHA, incluyendo un programa de aseguración de conexión a tierra de los equipos, visite el sitio en Internet de OSHA: www.dir.ca.gov.

Kalb’s Capitol Connection Q & A for ContractorsBy David Kalb & Shauna Krause, Capitol Services, Inc.
Can an old CA contractor’s license be brought back to life again when it ‘died’ a decade ago? The ‘mettle’ of a framing contractor is tested and we finish by helping readers learn what it takes to pull together to form a ‘joint venture’ effort…
Q: My husband had a CA license and failed to renew it on time. It expired back in 2000. Now he wants to renew it. He currently has an Arizona “K-11” (Electrical) license that he has held for approx 12yrs. How does he go about this in the quickest way, as we are looking to move to CA early next year?
A: Thank you for contacting Capitol Services Inc. Because his CA license has been expired for over 5 years he can no longer ‘renew’ it. He can however re-apply for the license and request that the number be re-issued. As you may know, there is a reciprocal agreement between CA and AZ so he can request to waive the trade exam based on the fact that he has been licensed for the past five years in Arizona. He’ll still be required to take the law test again. The process to obtain the license will likely take about 8 weeks, so if you be-gin soon, he will have the license before you move. Let us know if you’d like help with the process.
Q: I need assistance with determining what classification my company will need to meet the requirements to do metal stud framing in the State of California. I don’t do Structural Steel, just the metal stud framing. I also han-dle the drywall and insulation to finish off the wall, so I’m not sure if I need separate classi-fications to do that, or if it would be covered under the framing. Thank you in advance.
A: In order to do the metal stud framing you’ll need a “C-5” (Framing and Rough Carpentry) classification. Even though drywall and insu-lation are part of your projects, the CSLB will require you to have the “C-2” (Insulation) and “C-9” (Drywall) classifications to perform this work because the “C-5” doesn’t cover these trades. According to the CSLB, the “B” classi-fication would cover you for all three trades; however, in our experience we have found it is difficult to qualify for the exam without electrical, concrete, roofing and/or plumbing experience.
Q: I am inquiring about the fees and re-quirements to set up a Joint Venture with another contractor. I want to bid a project that requires both “C-20”(HVAC) and “C10-”(Electrical) licenses. My firm only holds the HVAC and would like to partner with another
contractor whom holds both. Please let me know what all is required, particularly the ap-plication process.
A: A Joint Venture (JV) consists of two or more entities, each of which holds a valid CA con-tractor’s license in good standing. Since you hold the “C-20”, you could locate a company with the “C-10” or, as indicated, “another con-tractor whom holds both”. A JV application signed by all Qualifiers and an Officer of re-cord for each entity is required. You’ll also need to post a $12,500 Contractor’s Bond, which is in addition to the bond you pres-ently have on your corporate license. Further, a new Worker’s Comp policy (or certified Ex-emption) is necessary. The State fee will run $555.00.
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 [email protected], or write us at Capitol Services, Inc., 1225 8th St. Ste. 580, Sacramento, CA 95814. Research past columns at www.cutredtape.com.

Unlicensed Operators
Like legitimate contractors, unlicensed operators sometimes use advertising to find new clients. Ads without license numbers or with numbers that are not issued by the CSLB are frequently used by the Board to identify sting targets.
The CSLB and other enforcement agencies use two sections of the law—B&P Sections 7027.1 and 7099.10—to take legal action against unlicensed contractors and, on occasion, against licensed contractors who advertise illegally.
If an unlicensed operator advertises as a contractor in a telephone directory, and if an investigation determines the entity doing the advertising is unlicensed, under B&P Section 7099.10 (a), the Registrar can issue a citation for a fine or other civil penalty assessment. The citation will also include an order of correction that requires:
any phone number in the unlawful ad and to not refer subsequent calls to any new number obtained by that person. If the order of correction isn’t made, the Registrar can have the Public Utilities Commission disconnect the phone service.
If you believe that an unlicensed contractor is actively working on a construction project, contact the CSLB at 1-800-321-CSLB (2752) or fill out a “SWIFT Lead Referral” form, which is available on the CSLB Web site, www.cslb.ca.gov.
