2012 GCLA HOLIDAY SCHEDULE

CUSTOMARY STANDARD PROPOSALS BY TRADES LIST

The Subcontractors Council has developed a Customary Standard Proposals by Trades list. The Council hopes the Customary Standard Proposals by Trades list will assist contractors and subcontractors to be familiar with customary work inclusions and exclusions by each trade. The list does not include all trades however and the Council looks forward to adding other trades to the list.

Please see attached Customary Standard Proposals by Trades list. Should you have any comment or would like to add other trades to the list, please contact Gladys Hagemann at Gladys@gcahawaii.org

The list of Customary Standard Proposals was developed as a guide only and should not be interpreted as an absolute list. click here to view and/or print the list

ACT 17 (2009): APPRENTICESHIP PREFERENCE

The 2009 Legislature enacted Act 17 that took effect on July 15, 2009. Part of the Act states: A governmental body, as defined in section 106D-104, that enters into a public works contract under this chapter having an estimated value of not less than $250,000, shall decrease the bid amount of a bidder by five percent (5%) if the bidder is a party to an apprenticeship agreement registered with the department of labor…... (SB19 HD2). To date, we are not aware of any formal rules and regulations issued for Act 17 though periodically we hear certain departments may be working on them. It has come to our attention that some bidding contractors may be taking steps to use Act 17 pending issuance of any such rules and regulations. In view of this, the General Contractors Association of Hawaii (GCAH) would like to provide all of its members easy access to Act 17 for their information and use as each may deem appropriate. The link for Act 17 Is: : Click here for the full text of Act 17-2009. Click here for the Comptroller"s Memoranda & Forms Click here for Act17-Comptroller's Memorandum #2010-29

ACT 68: 80% HAWAII RESIDENT REQUIREMENT
EFFECTIVE APRIL 29, 2010
The 2010 Legislature enacted SB 2840, HD1 (Act 68) that took effect on April 29, 2010. The description of the Act states: Requires at least eighty per cent of workers on construction procurements to be Hawaii residents; provides sanctions for noncompliance including temporary suspension of control work, payment withholding, disqualification from the project, recovery of contract payments, and disbarment or suspension. (SB2840 HD1).
At present, we do not know how the Act will be implemented or whether any department or agency will be promulgating rules to implement the provisions contained in this Act. Therefore, we have no guidance on how each entity should comply with the Act. We are, instead, providing a link for the full text of the Act for your information and use as you deem appropriate: Click here for the full text of Act 68.
