    14 contractors arrested in Costa Mesa sting operation - March 9, 2015 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Photo by Gustavo Castillo [Public domain], via Wikimedia CommonsAn undercover sting conductedby state, Orange County and Costa Mesa agencies resulted in the arrests of 14 contractors allegedly operating without a license, authorities said Wednesday.

    The sting was conducted last week involving the Contractors State License Board, Orange County District Attorneys Office and Costa Mesa Building Division.

    Undercover investigators bid on home improvement projects at a Costa Mesa residence. The projects were expected to cost more than $500 each. They included painting, building concrete driveways and walkways, flooring and tile work.

    Contractors must have licenses if they bid more than $500 on a project.

    Twelve of the 14 contractors did not disclose their unlicensed status, and two may face an additional charge of illegally using another contractors license, authorities said.

    Not only do illegal contractors take opportunities away from legitimate business owners, they fundamentally deceive our residents and property owner, said Costa Mesa CEO Tom Hatch.

    Building permits in Costa Mesa have increased 21 percent over the last three years, and there has been an influx of unlicensed contractors. The result has been an increase in complaints from residents who had contractors who did shoddy work or didnt finish their work, Hatch said.

    Anyone planning on hiring a contractor should contract the Costa Mesa Building Division at (714) 754-5273 to see if contractors have city licenses.

    Bridge painting accident clouds part of Boca Ciega Bay - March 9, 2015 by Mr HomeBuilder

    TREASURE ISLAND --

    A bridge painting accident in Treasure Island turned the pristine blue waters a cloudy white color Monday.

    A resident took some pictures to show how much water was affected.

    It just kept growing. It engulfed this whole side of houses and docks and it was probably about 30-feet out, said resident Donna Babcock.

    Treasure Island City Manager Reid Silverboard said the bridge painters made a mistake but stopped short of calling it a spill.

    Silverboard said the cloudy water was caused by bridge painters who cleaned out their buckets near a storm drain. He said as soon as they found about it they sent a tanker truck out to suck up the paint stained water.

    The city also self-reported to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and FWC is also investigating the incident.

    Babcock said she's upset that paint got into Boca Ciega Bay.

    Paint doesnt belong in the water and Im sure the marine life probably agrees, she said.

    There's no sign of the paint in the water now. Silverboard said the good news is the paint is not toxic.

    Faced With A Crushing Deficit, Malloy Budget Officials Still Take Care Of Their Own - March 7, 2015 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Faced with a $100 million budget shortfall for the current fiscal year and a projected $1.3 billion deficit in the next, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's budget officials have proposed cutting millions in state spending on programs such as part-time jobs for needy students, school meals and college scholarships.

    But the crisis didn't stop those same officials from approving Christmas-time raises of up to 12 percent for about 200 political appointees at an annual cost of $1.4 million and it hasn't prevented their going forward with $700,000 in interior improvements, such as new carpets and wall painting, at their own offices in Hartford.

    Yes, contractors' bids are to be opened Wednesday for the renovations at the five-story headquarters of the Office of Policy and Management (OPM) the formal name for the governor's budget office at 450 Capitol Ave. The construction cost estimate is $702,000, after a design budget of $85,000, according to a spokesman for the Department of Administrative Services, which is handling the bidding process.

    The way to cut $100 million in expenses from the state budget is piece by piece, a few million here and there for school meals and student loans, and a few million or hundred thousand somewhere else.

    So why couldn't the state budget officials live with the same carpeting and faded wall paint for a couple of more years?

    OPM Secretary Ben Barnes, the governor's budget chief, said in a phone interview that renovations to the OPM building and two adjacent ones housing the state departments of Public Health and Developmental Services have been "under way for years" at a cost of millions including new brick pointing, caulking of windows a roof replacement that eliminated the need for "buckets everywhere" when it rained.

    "I understand the sensitivity about this," he said. But "to suspend the project at this point would entail a huge waste of time and energy," and "to let these public assets deteriorate with out proper attention to them would be short-sighted." Planning for some of the renovations dates back to before Malloy took office in 2011, he said.

    The other thing about the renovation project is that it's being funded with bonds that will be repaid over 20 years, so canceling the project wouldn't immediately reduce the state deficit by the full $700,000, he said.

    Barnes has become accustomed to answering reporters' questions, particularly since the December raises were announced as darkness fell on the day before Christmas Eve. He defended those pay hikes including his own, from $187,000 to $210,000 a year against a public outcry by saying that the appointees are valuable, capable people, many of whom hadn't had a raise in four years, while unionized employees had been.

    He said the state needed to compensate them to assure that it didn't lose their expertise by their finding something better elsewhere. Some doubted the proposition that for lack of a raise someone would leave a good-paying state job, with enviable health benefits and a good pension.

    Scaffolding Services Procurement Category Market Research Report from IBISWorld has Been Updated - March 5, 2015 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 05, 2015

    Scaffolding services have a buyer power score of 2.8 out of 5, indicating a moderate level of negotiating power for buyers. During the three years to 2014, buyer purchasing power has been hurt mainly by rising service prices and moderate market share concentration, says IBISWorld research analyst Deonta Smith, adding that prices are heavily dependent on trends in the residential, commercial and industrial construction markets.

    The values of residential and nonresidential construction have risen strongly during the three years to 2014 as a result of the rebounding economy. In addition, corporate profit has been growing at a moderate rate, leading to greater demand for scaffolding services. In turn, these trends have led to moderate service price growth and, thus, reduced buyer power. In the three years to 2017, scaffolding services prices are forecast to continue rising, especially as commercial construction activity accelerates. According to Smith, Growth in nonresidential structure starts will bolster demand for contractors, which will further restrain buyers' ability to negotiate for lower prices.

    Conversely, buyers benefit from a high level of competition among the numerous small suppliers in the market, who are engaging in price-based competition to win new customers and maintain or gain market share. In recent years, this trend has allowed buyers to pit multiple suppliers against each other, limiting suppliers' ability to raise prices significantly. Current suppliers include Brand Energy & Infrastructure Services Inc., The Brock Group and Safway Services LLC. Buyers also benefit from low price volatility, which allows for more accurate budget forecasts. Nevertheless, buyers working on multiple construction projects are advised to seek long-term service agreements with key suppliers to lock in current rates before they increase further.

    Big doings slated for Ericson Public Library - March 3, 2015 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Thanks in part to allocations of funds from Boone City Council, there are several big happenings slated for Ericson Public Library, from roof replacement to a tuck point and painting project.

    The librarys boiler and chiller replacement is among the citys many Capital Improvement Projects for the next fiscal year, which city staff expects to get funded by a $3.1 million bond proposal it will put out to bid possibly in late June.

    Council approved $203,000 for the librarys three boilers and a chiller with two compressors, which were installed in 1991. Very little maintenance was done from 2000 to 2008 and the equipment has been failing during the last five years. Instead of making continual repairs, council decided to save money and allocate the $203,000 for new equipment.

    Theyve all kind of outlived their life expectancy, library director Jamie Williams said. Well get a newer system for better efficiency.

    Another highlight for the library is councils approval of carrying over the Local Option Sales Tax funds, totaling $18,000, for a tuck point and painting project for the building.

    The original plan was to paint the first floor stairwell coming in, but there was a lot of chipping paint, Williams said. And also paint the first floor and the second floor. There has been no painting since the remodel in 1995. But there were issues with the chipping and it would require a lot of plaster repair.

    It was discovered that moisture was getting in through the buildings brickwork, Williams said, which is the obvious reason for first doing tuck point work before painting. The majority of the tuck point work needs to be done near the main entrance, the windows above it and near the Ericson Public Library sign, Williams said.

    Im waiting to hear back on tuck point estimates, she said. A lot of contractors have come and looked at it.

    Williams said she hopes the tuck point work can be done in April so the painting and plaster repair can be done in June or July.

    The first priority is getting the stairwell painting done, she said, then proceed to painting the first floor.
