The Protecting America's Workers Act, introduced by = Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif., would let the Occupational Safety and= Health Administration enforce stiffer penalties for willful safety violati= ons that result in serious injury or death. The bill is drawing fire from t= he construction industry, which argues increasing penalties undermines effo= rts to improve safety. =09 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= --------------------- Help for Small Businesses to Secure Contracts in Disaster Areas http://news.cygnusb2bmail.com/portal/wts/cemcixuj7hmba7rFqdzuy7bb0y2b The U.S. Small Business Administration has proposed changes, including high= er surety bond guarantee limits, that will help construction firms secure l= arger contracts for work in areas impacted by disasters. The proposed chang= es are related to the Small Business Disaster Response and Loan Improvement= s Act of 2008, which increases the eligible amount for contracts or orders = related to a major disaster area. These proposals build on increases to sur= ety bond guarantees made possible under the American Recovery and Reinvestm= ent Act of 2009. Major disaster areas are identified on the Federal Emergen= cy Management Agency website. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= --------------------- New EPA Water Infrastructure Policy Encourages Smart Growth http://news.cygnusb2bmail.com/portal/wts/cemcixuj7hmba7rFqdzuy8bb0y2b The Washington Post reports that a new policy by the Environmental Protecti= on Agency instructs states to adopt smart-growth principles in allocating t= he $3.3 billion in water infrastructure funding that the federal government= gives each year. While new construction is nearly non-existent right now, = building will eventually resume, and EPA officials say the leverage of the = federal funding could coax states toward a more sustainable form of develop= ment. With so many cities contending with aging water pipes and sewer lines= , officials say, it makes most sense to address those needs first. Some bui= lders associations say repairing, replacing and upgrading existing infrastr= ucture should not come at the expense of new growth, however. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= --------------------- =09 Rally Promotes Reforming Transportation Funding http://news.cygnusb2bmail.com/portal/wts/cemcixuj7hmba7rFqdzuy9bb0y2b Hundreds of skilled trades workers, road industry groups and local governme= nt officials gathered at the Capitol in Lansing, MI to rally the Legislatur= e to overhaul transportation funding in Michigan as the state faces a huge = drop in funding starting in 2011, reports Freep.com. The groups are advocat= ing for major reform of Michigan's road funding system. It would include ra= ising fuel taxes and vehicle registration fees as well as looking at tollin= g and government partnerships with the private sector. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= --------------------- Union Workers Protest Amtrak Construction Plan http://news.cygnusb2bmail.com/portal/wts/cemcixuj7hmba7rFqdzuy-bb0y2b About 80 people representing a variety of trade unions marched to protest A= mtrak's decision to use an out-of-state company and potentially bypass loca= l workers in Connecticut. In January, Amtrak awarded a $104.7 million contr= act to Cianbro/Middlesex VII for replacement of the movable bridge over the= Niantic River, reports TheDay.com. Though Cianbro has not outright stated = it won't hire local workers, the Connecticut Laborers' District Council alo= ng with the New London-Norwich Building & Construction Trades Council said = previously that the company has never signed a project labor agreement in p= revious projects. Project labor agreements ensure local people have an oppo= rtunity to work on a given project. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= --------------------- =09 Survey Results On Monday, we asked, on average, how long are you allowing your equipment f= leet to age prior to replacement? Here's what you said: 1% said "1-3 years" 20% said "3-5 years" 79% said "5 years or more" Copyright =C2=A9 2010 All rights reserved.
