A
A
A
E
Good
morning,
thank
you
spearman
and
members
of
the
commerce
and
labor
committee.
I'm
senator
chris
brooks
from
senate
district
3
in
clark
county
and
today,
I'm
here
to
present
senate
bill
141.
E
senate
bill
141
will
remove
the
statutory
expiration
and
allow
for
the
continued
use
of
the
construction
manager
at
risk
or
see
by
our
state's
public
entities.
This
is
an
important
bill,
because
cmar
has
proved
to
be
valuable:
a
valuable
construction
method,
allowing
public
entities
to
control
costs
and
budgets
on
some
of
our
unique
and
complex
public
projects.
E
Recent
cmr
projects
include
the
las
vegas
convention
center
expansion,
the
national
guard,
speedway
readiness
center
and
the
pennington
engineering
building
at
unr
upcoming
projects
include
the
unlv
engineering
building,
the
clark
county,
water
reclamation,
district
flamingo
water
resource
center
and
the
grant
sawyer
office
building
remodel,
just
to
name.
A
few
emar
allows
the
builder
to
collaborate
with
the
designer
and
public
agency
early
in
the
project.
Design
state
help
avoid
costly,
missteps
and
unforeseen
design
challenges.
E
Cmar
is
just
one
tool
available
to
the
public
entities
to
deliver
construction
projects
when
we
invest
in
public
infrastructure
is
critical
that
we
apply
the
best
most
efficient
and
method
of
delivering
the
project
by
allowing
project
entities
the
ability
to
continue
to
use
cmar.
In
addition
to
other
our
other
delivery
methods,
we
are
giving
them
the
tools
they
need
to
plan
design
and
build
projects
as
efficiently
as
possible
if
it
pleases
the
committee,
I
would
like
to
hand
it
off
to
brian
reader
from
ferrari
public
affairs
to
further
explain
the
importance
and
answer
any.
F
If
I
may
begin
good
morning
to
you
and
committee
members,
I'm
brian
reader,
that's
the
r,
I
a
n
r
e
e
d
e
with
ferrari
public
affairs,
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
nevada
contractors,
association
in
support
of
senate
bill
141
also
available
for
any
questions
today
is
sean
stewart
ceo
of
nca
nca
represents
general
and
subcontractors
and
businesses
affiliated
with
the
commercial
construction
industry,
primarily
throughout
southern
nevada,
and,
as
most
of
you
are
aware,
over
the
course
of
the
pandemic,
construction
industry
became
one
of
our
state's
number
one
employers
keeping
nevadans
working
safely.
F
Senator
brooks
outlined
cmar
thoroughly.
Public
agencies
have
found
the
cmark
instruction
project,
delivery
method,
valuable
and
this
still
simply
extends
their
ability
to
use
it
there's
a
long
list
of
cmar
users,
and
this
is
demonstrated
by
the
exhibit
titled
ncaa
letter
to
governor
sissel
act,
which
was
submitted
to
nellis
for
the
committee's
reference.
As
you
can
see,
the
entities
listed
include
cities,
counties,
school
districts,
higher
education,
our
transportation
departments
and
many
others.
F
Just
a
quick
history
on
cmar,
the
the
process
was
authorized
in
nevada
in
2007
and
since
that
time,
nca
and
the
contractor
community
have
worked
with
stakeholders,
including
public
agencies
and
labor,
and
have
come
back
to
the
legislature
to
work
to
amend
the
law.
On
multiple
occasions
during
the
last
interim,
the
most
recent
interim
nca
once
again
worked
with
stakeholders
to
discuss
the
future
of
cmar,
and
the
group
reached
unanimous
agreement
that
the
delivery
method
is
a
valuable
tool
for
nevada
for
our
public
infrastructure,
and
we
should
seek
legislation
to
remove
the
sunset.
F
There
is
an
amendment
that
was
submitted
to
nellis.
It
was
requested
on
behalf
of
or
requested
by,
former
assemblyman
if
daily.
The
amendment
simply
makes
a
clarification
regarding
the
definitions
of
horizontal
and
vertical
construction
and
the
nevada
contractors
association
views
this
as
a
friendly
amendment.
Just
for
the
committee's
information,
we
thank
the
bill
sponsoring
the
committee
for
hearing
the
bill
and
we
ask
for
your
support.
E
Presenters
here
spearman
no,
that
is,
I
stand
ready
to
answer
any
questions.
G
Proceed
that
should
be
no
surprise.
Thank
you
chair.
I
am
in
full
support
of
this
idea.
I
mean
I've
done
seymour
projects
when
I
was
contracting.
G
They
certainly
stand
to
save
the
state
money
if
we,
if,
if
we
use
them
properly,
the
the
question
I
have,
though,
comes
as
to
the
amendment
because
we're
deleting
the
in
the
the
body
of
the
the
bill
we're
deleting
the
definitions
of
horizontal
construction,
vertical
construction
and
the
amendment
amends
those.
G
So
I'm
not
sure
what
we're
doing
are
we
deleting
it
or
are
we
keeping
it?
The
explanation
that
was
given
to
me
when
this
first
came
up
was
that
we
don't
need
these
definitions
because
we're
no
longer
worried
about
you
know
the
the
the
connection
to
the
cmar
projects.
Were
they
required
these
definitions?
They
no
longer
require
them.
So
can
you
explain
what's
going
on
with
the
amendment
and
why
we
need
it.
E
Absolutely
through
through
you,
chair,
spearman
to
senator
pickard,
I
let's
go
duran,
go
direct.
Thank
you
chair.
E
It's!
It's
knew
this
would
be
a
question
and
it's
it's
complicated
and
I've
had
to
ask
the
explanation
several
times
so
bear
with
me.
As
I
read
you
a
explanation
from
lcb
on
exactly.
Why
would
this
way
most
of
the
construction
manager
risk
provisions
that
are
in
nrs,
338
1685
through
16995,
were
enacted
in
2007.
E
2013,
the
legislature
enacted
ab280,
in
which
section
14.7
repealed
the
cmar
provisions
effective
july
1
2017.,
the
expiration
of
the
cmar
statute
was
later
extended
to
july
1st
2021
in
senate
bill
246
from
the
2017
legislative
session.
Ab-283
from
2013
also
amended
various
sections
of
nrs
as
technical
changes
to
remove
references
to
cmar
provisions.
E
Section
2.3
was
included
in
the
build
to
remove
those
definitions
on
july
1st
2017.
now
2021
as
it
was
extended,
expiration
date
of
cmar,
because
senate
bill
141
is
removing
the
expiration
of
cmart
of
the
cmar
provisions.
Those
definitions
need
to
be
retained,
so
section
2.3,
which
shows
those
definitions
being
deleted,
has
been
repealed.
E
G
It
does,
and
I
appreciate
that,
I'm
glad
that
you
saw
that
coming
and
got
that
response,
so
it
made
I'm
sure
if
I
can
follow
up
by
on
the
definitions.
Thank
you
on
the
definitions.
G
This
is
unusual
that
we
would
consider
any
alteration:
repair,
remodeled
demolition
as
and
potentially,
as
I
read
this,
those
become
independent
works,
and
so
are
we
to
assume,
then
that
these
have
to
do
strictly
with
ongoing
projects,
and
you
know
whatever
modifications
may
be
made
because
a
lot
of
times
these
are
used
for
fast-track
projects
or
like
the
the
convention
center,
where
the
design
is
not
completely
finished,
but
we
needed
to
get
underway.
G
This
would
then
fall
back
to
the
original
contract,
or
would
this
have
to
go
under
a
new
contract?
Would
that
also
be
seymour?
You
know
it's.
How?
How
does
this
now
operate
under
this
provision?.
E
And
and
senator
pickard,
I'm
assuming
you're
speaking
to
the
proposed
conceptual
amendment,
I'm
sorry,
yes,
that's
correct,
and,
and
so
the
proposed
conceptual
amendment
would
not
change
in
any
way
shape
or
form
how
existing
seymour
vectors
are
are
being
used
or
how
future
cmar
structures
are
being
used
proposed
amendment,
just,
I
think,
clarifies
the
definitions
of
horizontal
and
vertical
construction
doesn't
necessarily
change.
There
was
just
basically
when
the
added
language
and
the
deleted
language
doesn't
change
the
intent
of
of
any
of
the
projects
that
would
be
covered.
E
It
just
further
defines
which
which
actual
activities
on
a
construction
site
would
be
covered
under
that.
G
All
right,
I
appreciate
that,
and
my
main
concern
is
this-
that
it's
amending
338,
which
was
not
actually
part
of
the
bill,
or
that
is
to
say
you
know
we
were
the
the
strikeout
the
deleted
language
was
actually
coming
out
of.
I
want
to
say
624,
no,
I'm
sorry
it
was
338.
I
I
I
was
mistaken
on
that,
so
anyway
it
just
I.
G
A
Thank
you,
I
see
senator
selma
and
then
vice
chair
neil.
H
H
The
amendment
bothers
me
because
I
number
one
I'm
just
seeing
it,
but
also
on
13
to
24
the
definition
between
horizontal
and
vertical.
The
words
are
so
much
different
on
13,
it's
without
limitation,
whereas
on
24,
that's
not
included.
So
why
would
the
difference
in
term?
Why
is
there
a
necessary
change
between
horizon
vertical
when
in
13
you're
allowing
to
do
it
without
limitation
or
in
24
you're?
Not?
Why
is
that.
E
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Senator
settlemeyer,
so
in
24,
without
limitation,
is
already
part
of
the
existing
language
and
then
in
13.
The
proposed
amendment
adds,
without
limitation
to
the
definition
as
well,
so
that
there
is
some
parity
between
the
definitions
between
both
of
those
different
types
of
construction
projects.
H
Appreciate
the
answers
senator
brooks
greatly,
I'm
still
concerned
with
the
amendment.
I
like
the
bill
as
it
was.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
so
I
guess
that
I
think
I
missed
this,
so
I
have
two
questions.
Number
one.
Can
you
put
on
the
record
why
this
went
through
a
series
of
expirations
and
why
this
has
been
hotly
contested
because
it's
never
made
its
way
in
into
permanency
right,
and
I
don't
think
I
heard
that
legislative,
quick
history
on
why
this
why
these
multiple
expiration
dates
have
been
in
play,
and
then
I
have
a
second
question.
E
Senator
neil,
I
will
try
to
answer
that.
I
think
we
actually
have
some
committee
members
that
might
be
able
to
provide
some
context
to
that
as
well,
but
I
the
when
this
was
first
put
into
place.
It
was
the
first
time
this
particular
contract
delivery
method
was
used
in
the
state
of
nevada
on
public
projects.
E
This
is
the
the
contract
delivery
method
of
choice
for
many
many
private
projects,
just
that
goes
back
many
many
years,
and
but
this
was
the
first
time
it
was
put
in
place
back
in
2007,
and
I
think
there
was
the
there
was
the
desire
to
to
to
see
if,
if
it
was
successful
or
not
and
therefore
a
sunset,
and
it
proved
to
be
incredibly
successful
and
then
I
think
that,
for
a
host
of
reasons,
some
folks
wanted
to
see
that
expiration,
instead
of
going
completely
away
to
be
extended
and
to
see
if
some
of
these
projects
are
many
years
in
in
in
duration,
and
I
think
they
just
wanted
to
see
a
history
of
success
and
so
and
then
and
and
in
2017
there
was.
E
E
History
of
successful
delivery
of
projects,
the
public
entities
across
the
state
and
and
the
desire
is
to
now
just
remove
the
sunset
and
so
that
we
can
continue
to
have
some
clarity
moving
forward
about
how
we
can
use
this
delivery
method.
C
Thank
you
for
that.
Madam
chair
second
question.
So
this
is
different,
but
I
I
want
you
get.
I
want
to
like
ask
this
question
on
the
record,
so
I
get
car
in
the
11
years
that
I've
been
in
the
freaking
building,
but
cmar
is
sometimes
inconsistent
with
federal
procurement
procedures.
C
C
E
Senator
neal,
that
that
that's
a
great
question
and
that's
why
this
is
one
of
many
contract
delivery
methods
that
we
have
had
in
statute
and
that
we
will
continue
to
have
in
statute.
So,
for
instance,
this
does
not
change
in
any
way
the
design
bid
build
process.
This
doesn't
change
the
design
build
process,
and
this
is
just
one
of
several
different
contract
delivery
mechanisms
that
are
available
to
agencies.
There
are
some.
There
are
some
projects
that
this
is
not
the
appropriate
you've
identified,
some
that
have
federal
guidelines
attached
to
them.
E
A
Jesus,
oh
thank
you
so,
and
senator
brooks.
Thank
you
for
that,
because
I
was
my
explanation
was
going
to
be
a
little
bit
more
pedestrian.
I
think
my
first.
What
was
my
first
session?
We
were.
I
want
to
say
that
it
came
through
government
affairs,
but
we
were
probably
there
for
about
four
hours.
Most
people
had
no
idea
what
it
was
and
some
people
in
13
who
were
against
it
came
back
either
as
a
legislator
or
in
civilian
life
and
were
for
it.
So
it's
kind
of
been
that
way.
A
So
let
me
ask
this:
this
is
a
follow-up
to
by
sure
neil's
question.
You
named
several
projects
where
the
cmar
was
used,
I'm
interested
in
why
it
was
used
for
the
national
guard
readiness
center.
Why
was
that
better?
A
better
method
than
design
bill.
F
Thanks
senator
brooks
chair
spearman,
honestly,
I'm
I'm
not
sure
I
can
answer
directly
that
question.
I
don't
know
if
there's
someone
from
state
public
works
or
from
the
guard
available
to
discuss
that,
I
don't
have
the
specifics
on
why
cmr
was
chosen
over
a
design
build.
They
both
have
their
benefits
and
it's
really
in
the
end,
it's
up
to
the
public
agency
to
decide
what
what's
going
to
work
for
their
project.
A
So
this
this
wasn't
a
you
know:
let's
stump
the
presenter
I
just
felt
like
if
we
could
give
a
reason
for
a
project
that
was
used
and
and
show
the
differentiation
between
that
method
and
others.
It
might
clarify
when
it's
selected,
when
you
use
this
method
and
when
you
don't
or
even
when
you
might
use
it
but
there's
another
method,
that's
more
convenient.
A
So
if
there's
anyone
that's
on
the
line
or
is
listening
that
can
give
us
an
answer.
I
certainly
would
appreciate
it
like.
I
said
I
think
I
think
an
example
is
a
lot
better
than
trying
to
explain
it.
Based
upon
statute.
E
I
A
Okay,
thank
you,
nice.
I
picked
that
particular
project
because
vice-chair
neil
had
indicated
there
were
some
inconsistencies
with
seymour
and
federal
law.
So
I
think
that
satisfies
my
curiosity.
Anyone
else
have
questions
related
to
that,
not
just
my
question.
Anyone
else
have
questions.
A
And
I
don't
see
any
hands,
so
what
we
will
do
now
is
we
will
go
to
those
in
support
and
we
will
have
30
minutes
of
testimony
and
support
three
minutes
per
person
and
remember
if
someone
has
already
covered
your
points
just
say
ditto,
so
we
can
get
more
people
on
the
line.
Okay,
thank
you
broadcast.

Good
morning
spare
excuse
me,

p-e-t-e-r-k-r-u-e-g-e-r
representing
the
national

contractors.
Association
of
northern
nevada
are
in
support
of
this
build
because,
as
it's
been
stated,
we
believe
this
maintains
three
arrows
in
our
quiver
when
it
comes
to
public
works
projects.
J
Electrical
contractors
have
used
this
delivery
method
as
a
subcontractor
on
projects
and
find
it
very
beneficial.
So
we
stand
in
support
of
both
the
bill
as
introduced
and
senator
brooke's
amendment.
Thank
you.
B
K
Good
morning,
madam
chair
warren,
hardy
w-a-r-r-e-n,
last
name
h-a-r-d-y
today
representing
the
urban
consortium
madam
chair,
the
urban
consortium
is,
was
restarted.
This
session,
I
represent
the
cities
of
las
vegas
henderson
reno
and
sparks
in
an
effort
to
kind
of
streamline
our
participation
in
the
legislative
process
and
make
life
easier
for
for
the
committees
and
the
legislature,
as
well
as
our
staff.
Now
we're
in
support
of
this
legislation.
K
It
is
a
valuable
tool
in
the
toolbox
and
I
think
that's
the
way
we
like
to
describe
it
as
a
tool
in
the
toolbox.
As
it's
been
pointed
out,
there
are
so
many
other
methods
that
this
is
a
very
valuable
tool.
I
would
also
indicate
to
senator
neil's
question.
I
was
actually
chair
of
senate
government
affairs
when
we
first
brought
this
forward
introduced
the
cmar
concept.
As
a
committee
introduction
and
the
the
answer
senator
brooks
gave
was-
was
correct.
K
K
It
has
proven
to
be
a
very
effective
tool
for
local
governments,
and
I
would
indicate
that
as
a
lot
of
the
concerns
that
we
had
about
misuse
of
the
bid
system
and
those
sorts
of
things
have
not
have
not
come
to
come
to
fruition.
So
I
think
that
was
the
reason
we
took
the
precautions
and
a
step
in
moving
forward
and
then
again,
as
senator
brooks
pointed
out,
there
were
attempts
to
do
other
things
in
this
legislation
that
the
legislature
ultimately
decided
not
to
pursue.
K
So
if
I
can't,
if
I
could
vent
him
chair,
I'd
I'd
love
to
request
that
the
lcb
explanation
that
senator
brooks
articulated,
if
that
could
be
provided
as
we
look
at
the
amendment
I
made
complete
sense
to
me,
I
may
have
a
difficult
time
explaining
it
to
others,
and
I
think
that
lcb
description
would
be
very
helpful
if
we
could
maybe
get
that
on
nellis.
But
the
urban
consortium
is
in
in
full
support
of
removing
the
sunset
they
allow.
Seymour
to
become
a
permanent
tool
in
the
toolbox.
Thank
you.

would

like
to
thank
the

sponsor
for
bringing
the
bill
forward.
The
chamber
has
supported
seymour
efforts
over
the
years,
as
you
heard
today.
This
will
allow
greater
tools
for

bringing
it
forward.
Fortunately,
washoe

has
engaged
in
one
of
the
largest

programs,
beginning
in
2017,
building
three
new

B
L
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee,
this
is
darren
schultz.
I'm
the
public
works
director
of
carson
city,
I'm
calling
to
support
this
bill
141
and
for
the
reasons
mentioned,
I
did
want
to
go
on
the
record
and
talk
about
a
couple
of
things
that
were
brought
up,
that
we
had
personal
experiences
with
here
in
carson
city.
We
have
a
project
underway
right
now
that
is
half
half
of
the
funding
is
coming
from
the
federal
federal
grant.
L
We
are
doing
this
project
with
the
cmar
delivery
method,
and
although
we
had
some
challenges
working
with
the
feds
through
it,
we
were
able
to
do
it.
We
got
approval
from
them
to
use
this
delivery
method
and
there's
been
quite
a
bit
of
hand-holding
and
discussions
about
processes
and
and
how
we
make
it
work,
but
we're
we're
having
success
with
that
and
they
are
in
support
of
us
using
this
method.
L
We
don't
choose
it
on
all
projects.
It
mainly
just
just
to
go
on
the
record.
It's
used
for
projects
here
in
carson
city,
where
it's
important
to
get
the
contractor
involved
early
with
complicated
designs,
typically
with
projects
where
it's
going
to
have
a
big
impact
to
public
during
construction.
We
like
to
have
that
contractor
on
board
early.
So
we
can
talk
about
those
things,
water,
treatment
facilities
where
they
have
to
remain
active
during
construction.
L
B
D
D-E-N-I-S-E-B-A-C-L-A-W
s-k-I,
I'm
the
associate
vice
president
for
facilities
at
the
university
of
nevada,
reno
speaking
in
favor
of
sb
141
senator
brooks
thank
you
for
bringing
this
forward
to
permanently
authorize
the
construction
manager
at
risk
construction,
delivery
method.
The
university
of
nevada
reno
has
used
cmar
on
14
projects
over
the
last
10
years.
We
find
this
methodology
affords
us
the
ability
to
choose
the
most
qualified
contractor
for
the
projects
at
hand.
D
We
also
experience
a
lower
level
of
change
orders
during
construction.
This
is
due
to
the
guaranteed
maximum
price.
The
contractor
provides
to
construct
the
project
a
unique
feature
of
the
cmar,
which
provides
cost
transparency
throughout
the
process
and
essentially
transfers
the
risk
of
cost
overruns
during
construction
from
the
owner
to
the
contractor.
It
is
for
all
these
reasons,
the
university
of
nevada
reno
is
in
full
support
of
sb
141.
Thank.

J
C-H-R-I-S-K-O-E-N-I-G
and
I'm
with
keywood
infrastructure,
west
company
keyword
has
been
designing
and
building
important
infrastructure
projects
in
nevada.
For
over
50
years,
we
served
as
the
construction
manager
at
risk
or
seymour
on
phase
one
of
the
southeast
connector
later
named
veterans
parkway
in
washoe
county
on
that
project.
There
were
several
physical
and
logistical
challenges
that
the
cmar
process
allowed
the
project
to
be
a
tremendous
success.
J
Through
the
collaborative
cmar
process,
we
were
able
to
provide
engineering
solutions
to
mitigate
risk
and
drive
value
that
resulted
in
a
seven
million
dollar
savings
and
completion
of
the
project
three
months.
Early
tmar
is
a
great
procurement
option
for
public
entities
and
the
industry
in
general.
I
ask
that
the
committee
approve
sb
141.
B
M
M
Unlv
regularly
uses
all
three
major
construction
delivery
methods
available
to
us,
including
design
bid,
build
design,
build
and
cmar
a
cmart
is
very
helpful
to
have
available
where
construction
project
circumstances
warrant
its
use.
Some
examples
of
that
include
projects
where
having
the
cmr
on
the
project
team
during
planning
and
design,
is
helpful
for
planning
and
managing
the
impacts
of
the
construction,
including
items
that
are
technical
in
nature.
A
budget
related
schedule,
risk
management
and
other
items.
M
Projects
where
significant
or
unique
site
or
existing
building
conditions
exists
that
need
to
be
incorporated
into
the
construction
planning
and
delivery
projects
where
construction
process,
planning
and
coordination
are
particularly
important,
related
to
existing
ongoing
activities
where
construction
is
occurring
in
operating
facilities
or
project.
Phasing
unlv
has
successfully
used
cmar
in
many
projects.
M
Since
it's
been
available,
including
projects
such
as
our
thomas
and
mack
center
renovation
expansion,
the
conversion
of
a
portion
of
our
campus
electrical
system
from
4kb
to
12
kv
renovation
of
a
portion
of
the
operating
rogers
center
for
literature
and
law,
building,
vertical
expansion
of
the
existing
cottage
grove,
parking
garage
and
several
other
projects.
M
All
of
these
projects
benefited
significantly
in
having
cmr
available
for
use
due
to
specific
project
conditions,
where
cmr
offered
unique
benefits
to
support
the
project,
planning,
design,
construction
and
delivery,
be
it
pre-construction
planning,
project,
phasing
construction
being
undertaken
in
portions
of
occupied
and
operating
facilities
or
other
items.
Unlv
is
thankful
to
senator
brooks
for
sponsoring
sb,

and
thankful
to
the

we

it

B

Good
morning,
chair
spearman
and
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record,
david
cherry,
spelled
d-a-v-I-d-c-h-e-r-r-y,
I'm
government
affairs
manager
for
the
city
of
henderson.
We
support
sb
141
and
thanks
senator
brooks
for
bringing
forward
this
valuable
legislation.
In
our
experience,
cmar
provides
flexibility
in
project
delivery
methods
and
serves
as
a
very
good
tool
for
project
planning,
development
and
cost
control.
Removing
the
sunset
will
ensure
we
have
the
ability
to
continue
using
cmar
for
future
projects
that
are
important
to
our
community
and
will
help
the
city
continue
to
be
a
thoughtful
steward
of
our
financial
resources.
A
Okay,
so
we'll
move
now
to
those
who
are
in
opposition,
same
thing:
30
minutes
and
three
minutes
per
person.
B
A
Thank
you,
we'll
move
to
neutral
same
thing,
30
minutes
three
minutes
per
person.
B
N
Yeah,
my
name
is
richard:
madame
chairman
senator
brooks
everyone
else,
richard
daley
r-I-c-h-a-r-d-d-a-l-y,
you
guys
can
call
me
skip
I'm
neutral
on
the
semar
portion
extension
a
lot
of
history
there,
but,
as
you
can
see
their
general
consensus
in
the
industry
so
neutral
on
the
bill
in
regard
to
the
amendment
and
support
of
the
amendment
and
wanted
to
just
maybe
give
a
little
bit
of
explanation
on
why
it's
needed
and
where
the
genesis
that
came
from
so
it
was
originally
added
in,
I
believe
ab283
in
2013.
N
That
was
a
bill
that
I
sponsored
and
shepherded
through,
and
the
definitions
were
needed
because
there
is
a
requirement
in
cmar
on
horizontal
construction
for
25
of
that
work
to
be
self-performed
by
the
contractor,
and
there
is
no
self-perform
level
on
vertical
construction.
So
we
need
a
definition
to
identify
and
switch
on
when
that
would
be
applicable
and
when
it
was
not,
and
then,
as
senator
brooks
said,
that
provision
was
part
of
the
sunset
and
would
have
been
removed
because,
if
seymour
didn't
exist,
we
wouldn't
meet
those
definitions.
N
So
the
definitions
will
stay
and
the
changes
in
the
definition
are
needed
to
clarify
for
a
couple
of
reasons
on,
because
we've
had
some
issues
and
questions
over
can,
for
instance,
seymour
be
used
on
strictly
a
demolition
project
or
strictly
a
renovation,
because
the
definition
now
says
for
a
fixed
work
and
there
was
a
necessary
need
for
clarification
there
and
that
also
applied,
because
when
senator
brixton
put
in
sp
207
last
session,
the
lcb
went
to
those
two
definitions
and
used
that
on
the
three
percent
and
the
ten
percent
on
the
threshold
amount
of
apprenticeship
utilization
that
needed
to
be
done.
N
So
these
definitions
will
be
beneficial
for
that
portion
as
well,
and
clarification
so
anyway,
just
wanted
to
give
that
explanation.
N
A
A
G
Come
on
sure,
I
just
wanted
to
follow
up
on
something
that
skip
daily
mentioned
as
to
apprenticeships.
I
hadn't
contemplated
that
in
this,
but
is
that
in
any
way
going
to
change
the
cost
structure
of
these
projects
by
increasing
the
number
of
of
specified
apprenticeships?
How
does
that
interact
with
the
cmar?
I
don't
remember
that
being
I
mean
that
was
never
an
issue
in
any
of
my
projects,
but
I
don't
know
how
it
affects
things
today.
E
Senator
pickard,
that
was
my
bill
last
session
senate
bill
207
and
it
created
a
on
public
works
projects.
Only
a
a
certain
percentage
of
workers
needed
to
be
apprentices
generally.
Apprentices
are
a
lower
cost
worker,
but
we
in
light
of
the
need
of
creating
some
continuity
of
the
construction
industry
and
to
create
opportunities
for
apprenticeship
programs.
We
put
in
that
percentage
necessary
for
apprentices.
E
G
Yeah-
and
I
appreciate
that
I
mean
I
I'm
not
sure
I
would
I
when,
when
we
had
more
apprentices
on
our
projects,
it
usually
meant
for
more
rework
too,
so
there
it
was
a
trade-off.
I
I
just
was
curious
to
see
if,
under
the
current
seymour
projects,
if
apprenticeships
had
had
met
those
prior
standards,
is
this
going
to
affect
costs
in
any
way?
But
I
appreciate
that.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
A
Thank
you.
I
don't
see
any
other
hands
senator
brooks.
E
A
A
Okay,
thanks
a
lot,
and
with
that
we
will
close
the
hearing
on
senate
bill
144
and
I'd
like
to
open
it
up
now
to
public
comment,
public
comment:
if
you
are
wanting
to
make
a
statement,
please
follow
the
directions
of
broadcast
and
we'll
open
that
up
now.
B
A
H
A
We
will
do
that
at
a
later
date.
I
don't
want
to
hear
and
and
do
a
work
session
on
a
bill,
because
there
are
other
things
that
may
come
up,
so
we
will.
It
will
be
work
session,
but
not
today.
Okay,
okay,
all
right!
