The SDRCA Mission Statement:
The San Diego Roofing Contractors' Association (SDRCA) has been serving the Roofing Industry for over forty years.
Times, techniques and technology has changed, but the SDRCA Core Values, Code of Ethics, Mission and Vision Statement has not. The 2018 Board of Di-rector Team is committed and dedicated to serving our members and this associa-tion with new education, resources, training and savings for the purpose of helping our members continue a tradition of profitability and professionalism in our industry. It is the intent of this Association to establish and maintain professional standards and prac-tices in the Roofing Industry through education and public awareness. Our members are com-mitted to excellence and they use the benefits offered by the Association to help obtain this goal. The SDRCA encourages you to become fully aware of the potential problems of dealing with an unli-censed, uninsured roofer.
The SDRCA was formed in 1957 to preserve and promote the art of roofing application. SDRCA members recognize that after 60 years of innovation in roofing technology and application, the fol-lowing goals are as meaningful and relevant today as they were yesterday and will be tomorrow.
The SDRCA remains a strong supporter of open competition and the free enterprise system; indeed, this competitive environment led to the success of its members. SDRCA members recognize that the perpetuation of such a healthy business environment is greatly influenced by their own professional conduct. The SDRCA supports the following practices, and encourages them in its members.
SDRCA Member Code of Ethics: 1. To conduct my business in an ethical manner, so that I will reflect credit and confidence by the public in our
industry as well as my own business.
2. To consider my vocation worthy and dignified and thus affording a distinct opportunity to serve society.
3. To hold that the exchange of my goods and service for a fair profit is legitimate and ethical, provided all parties in the exchange are benefited.
4. To elevate the standards of my vocation by exercising a high degree of care in the execution of all work, and correct any defective work as a direct challenge to my ability and integrity.
5. To protect and defend the public from fraudulent and unethical practices affecting our industry.
6. To cooperate with the association in its effort to better conditions in the industry, so that public, manage-ment, capital and labor will all mutually benefit.
7. To operate my business in accordance with the rules and regulations of constituted authority at all levels and in a manner which will leave no doubt as to my loyalty to my country and its ideals and fundamental principals.

Roofs for Woofs: San Diego Roofing Contractors Association takes on pro bono roofing project to help Canine Companions for
Independence
Even the most successful non-profit organizations can struggle to maintain the facilities on which their mission depends. This has been the case for the Southwest Region of Canine Companions for Independence, whose Oceanside facility has suffered increasingly serious roof leaks. But thanks to the pro bono Build-a-Roof program of the San Diego Roofing Contractors’ Association (SDCRA), that leaky roof has been replaced with a watertight, brand new roofing system. The story behind this project illustrates the many levels on which such a project benefits everyone involved.
Canine Companions for Independence is a nonprofit organization that provides expertly-trained assistance dogs to children, adults and military veterans with disabilities. Established in 1975, Canine Companions has six training centers across the country, including two in California, one in Florida, Ohio, New York and Texas. Canine Companions is recognized worldwide for the excellence of its dogs, and the quality and longevity of the matches it makes between dogs and people. Although the price to raise, train and provide ongoing sup-port for the dogs is estimated at $50,000, they provide assistance dogs completely free of charge to recipients. Obviously, sustaining a program that provides such a high-value ser-vice at no-cost requires extreme prudence in managing assets.
The SDRCA was formed in 1957 to preserve and promote the art of roofing application. Its members recognize the universal importance of their trade, and how they can have a mean-ingful impact on the communities they serve. To that end, an annual tradition of the SDRCA is to select a charity or family in need of a new roofing system, and to provide such a system at no cost. Funds to support the work are provided through the donations of its own mem-bership. In addition to funds, the donations include materials donated from SDRCA Manu-facturer members and Supplier members, and labor donated by the Contractor members.
Another avenue by which the SDRCA gains support for its charitable work is its Annual SDCRA Golf Classic. In 2017, the SDRCA was introduced to Canine Companions as a can-didate to receive some of the proceeds of its 51st Annual SDRCA Golf Classic. On the strength of its mission, Canine Companions was selected to receive a donation from funds raised at the Classic. But the relationship between these two organizations had only begun. While working with Canine Companions, the SDRCA discovered that Canine Companions had numerous roof leaks at their Oceanside facility
The Canine Companions facility consists of modular buildings which are attached to each other. This sort of construction can make it notoriously difficult to implement a watertight roofing system. But the SDRCA are experts in their field. Canine Companions was nominat-ed for the SDRCA’s Build-A-Roof Program (BAR). As part of the selection process, the SDRCA’s BAR Committee Chairman, Gary Gilmore (SG Wholesale), researched the scope of the project. Next, the BAR Committee toured the Canine Companions facility and saw for themselves just how exceptional an organization the Canine Companions is. With pleas-ure, the Committee confirmed Canine Companions as the recipient of the BAR award.

Addressing the specialized needs of the facility’s modular construction, the SDRCA chose a quality silicone roofing system. With that key decision made, SDRCA’s members snapped to action. APOC, a premier manufacturer of roofing, construction and maintenance products and SDRCA Manufacturer member, donated the majority of the products needed for the new roofing system. Making the most of this opportunity, APOC incorporated silicone training for the SDRCA Contractor members working on the project. So, not only would Canine Companions receive a new roofing system at no cost, but SDRCA Contractor em-ployees would also learn new skills.
The project began on Tuesday, August 28th with a thorough cleaning of the existing roof and extensive repairs. Next, SDRCA members applied APOC #583 Armor Base and polyester reinforcement. Those specialized materials were allowed to cure, after which the roof was sealed with the application of APOC #585 Armor Flex Silicone, a cutting edge formulation based on environmentally friendly, solvent-free polymers. The project was completed on Monday, September 10th.
The SDRCA is grateful to many for the contributions that converged to make this project a success: APOC generously donated materials and technical training led by John Athanasian, Mike Negrete and Dave Britton. Dan Dallenbach (Roofmaster) consulted on safety and also donated various key products. Premier Roofing of CA, Inc. (Sid Scott), RSI Roofing (David Susi), Eberhard Benton Roofing (Tiffany Suwa), Top Line Roofing (Wayne Sorensen), San Diego County Roofing (Troy Parrott), and Roofing Specialists of San Diego (Eric Richard-son) all contributed the expert labor that made the project a reality.
With a roofing system valued at $100,000, this project was one of the largest that SDRCA’s Build-A-Roof program has ever tackled. On behalf of an organization as valuable to the community as Canine Companions, the project was a labor of love. From start to finish, the experience reminded everyone involved how community service not only produces a tangi-ble outcome, but strengthens bonds between people and organizations to make true commu-nity itself the biggest winner of all.

OSHA Steadily Increases Enforcement Of Silica Rule At Construction Sites:
About six months into the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) fully enforcing a rule that aims to protect construction workers from breathable silica, building industry safety professionals say compliance is a work in progress, according to www.bna.com. Steps are being taken to reduce silica dust, and the construction industry continues to seek practical ways to meet OSHA's standards and educate workers and supervisors regarding the requirements. OSHA's enforcement of the rule (29 C.F.R. 1926.1153) is slowly gaining momentum since compliance requirements took effect Sept. 23, 2017. The agency and states using the federal rule cited 116 alleged silica violations throughout the U.S. as of April 17th, 2018. The number of violations during the initial six months is likely to increase because OSHA can take up to six months after an inspection to issue citations. Raising awareness regarding compliance information is a priority—especially raising awareness among small subcontractors. General contractors must ensure their subcontractors comply with the rule because if OSHA finds silica problems at a job site, general contractors could face citations if OSHA believes they were responsible. The silica rule requires employers to monitor silica dust levels at worksites and take action when limits are exceeded. Frequent monitoring isn't required if contractors and workers follow procedures, called "Table 1," which is outlined in the rule. Table 1 includes 18 construction methods; many involve vacuuming dust into bags or spraying water to prevent silica dust from blowing away. Some contractors believe Table 1 could use more clarification and are requesting more guidance. Of the 116 silica violations cited, the most frequently mentioned provision with 35 cases was employers failing to measure silica exposure levels (29 C.F.R. 1926.1153(d)(2)(i)). Almost as frequently cited, with 31 violations, is incorrectly following Table 1's procedures (29 C.F.R. 1926.1153 (c)(1)) intended to reduce silica exposure. Although the rule took effect in September 2017, federal inspectors initially were instructed not to cite employers if the contractors were attempting to comply with the rule; full enforcement began Oct. 23, 2017. OSHA is steadily increasing its enforcement of the rule. OSHA issued its first citation Nov. 8, 2017, and through the end of the year cited just 20 violations. Fifty violations were cited in February and 19 in March. Eighty percent of the cases were classified as serious violations. The rest were for other-than-serious violations because they were not an immediate threat to workers. Although OSHA can propose serious violation fines as high as $12,934, the highest proposed penalty was $9,239, which decreased to $6,929 through an informal settlement. For the past several months, the NRCA has been conducting personal breathing zone sampling on roofing job sites where silica may be present to assess worker exposures to respirable crystalline silica (RCS). This effort is intended to establish roofing industry objective data that contractors can rely on, particularly when performing tasks not listed in Table 1 of OSHA's regulation. Industry objective data can relieve contractors from the expense of conducting their own sampling if the tasks being undertaken are similar to those found in the objective data. In the majority of sampling conducted on asphalt shingle, polymer-modified bitumen and built-up roof tear-offs and installations, exposures not only were below the permissible exposure limit (PEL) but also below the action level and in many instances below the limit of detection. Levels of total respirable dust also were well below the OSHA PEL. In addition, sampling was performed on tasks such as drilling into concrete or masonry for fastener attachment, cutting and fastening gypsum roof boards, and installation and removal of roof gravel or ballast—all with equally positive results. We will continue to report the results of additional testing, educational and advocacy efforts with the NRCA.
OSHA Proposes Targeting "High-Risk" Workplaces For Inspections . . . Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) inspectors propose targeting "high-risk" workplaces in fiscal year 2019, which would mean fewer inspections in less hazardous industries, according to Bloomberg BNA. OSHA's enforcement plan in the White House budget request says it would conduct 30,840 inspections in fiscal year 2019, which is down from 32,396 inspections in 2017 and would be the fewest inspections since at least 1996. Worker advocates say this is "creating a false choice" between inspecting high-risk job sites or maintaining overall inspection numbers. Others support the proposal, saying OSHA inspectors won't waste time visiting companies that have few substantial hazards. OSHA likely won't be inspecting a company unless it is covered by an OSHA emphasis program targeting a specific hazard or industry or unless a company's employees complain to OSHA. For the upcoming year, OSHA is asking for $212.7 million for federal enforcement efforts and would add seven enforcement positions. OSHA's move toward increased inspections in high-hazard workplaces began during the Obama administration, when OSHA would measure inspections by using a rating system that would indicate the time and personnel needed to conduct an inspection or whether the hazard or industry was an OSHA priority. OSHA is proposing adding another way to measure its activities in 2019—the OSHA Enforcement Weighting System; details are not available regarding how the system would work.

How Do You Deal With Your Mechanic’s Lien Claim When You Have An Arbitration Clause?
By Kenneth S. Grossbart Abdulaziz, Grossbart & Rudman
A recent California Court of Appeal case reminds us on how parties are to deal with their Mechanic's Lien claims and also reserve their rights to pursue the resolution of their claim in arbitration.
The case of Von Becelaere Venturers, LLC v. Zenovic addressed this very issue. Before I address the facts and holding of this case a brief reminder of a specific portion of the Mechanic's Lien law is warranted.
As most contractors are aware, a Mechanic's Lien is a constitutional right given to contractors and others who improve property. The Civil Code requires a contractor to file a Mechanic's Lien foreclosure action within 90 calendar days of the recording date of the Mechanic's Lien. Failure to file a lawsuit to foreclose upon the lien within the 90 calendar days will preclude the contractor from being able to seek foreclosure of the lien. The Mechanic's Lien is of such importance, that it would be irresponsible to lose that right. The problem comes with regard to a contract that has an arbitration clause. Many contractors include arbitration clauses in their contract because they would rather resolve the dispute through arbitration as opposed to litigation in the court system.
Because of the fact that it almost always takes more than 90 calendar days to commence your arbitration and complete your arbitration many contractors think that they have to give up their Mechanic's Lien rights in or-der to pursue arbitration. This is not true.
In the Zenovic case, the Court of Appeal gave a strict interpretation to Code of Civil Procedure §128.15. The Court of Appeal found that the contractor attempting to enforce its lien rights waives its rights to arbitration unless at the time of the filing of its complaint to foreclose on the Mechanic's Lien, the contractor either re-serves its rights to compel arbitration and then does so within 30 days of the filing of the complaint or simulta-neously to filing the complaint to foreclose on the Mechanic's Lien files a motion with the court asking the court to stay the Mechanic's Lien action and compel arbitration. In Zenovic, the contractor failed to follow these simple steps and as a result was unable to pursue its claim in arbitration.
In the Zenovic case, the Court of Appeal gave a strict interpretation to Code of Civil Procedure §128.15. The Court of Appeal found that the contractor attempting to enforce its lien rights waives its rights to arbitration unless at the time of the filing of its complaint to foreclose on the Mechanic's Lien, the contractor either re-serves its rights to compel arbitration and then does so within 30 days of the filing of the complaint or simulta-neously to filing the complaint to foreclose on the Mechanic's Lien files a motion with the court asking the court to stay the Mechanic's Lien action and compel arbitration. In Zenovic, the contractor failed to follow these simple steps and as a result was unable to pursue its claim in arbitration.
The Zenovic facts are common to many construction disputes. Von Becelaere entered into a construction con-tract with Zenovic to construct a single family home in the City of Laguna Beach. When Zenovic did not get paid for the work that they performed, Zenovic recorded a Mechanic's Lien for the money owed to Zenovic. Prior to the expiration of the 90 calendar days, Von Becelaere prepared and filed a construction defect com-plaint in San Diego County. Zenovic filed its own complaint in Orange County seeking to foreclose upon its Mechanic's Lie, among other causes of action. The Zenovic complaint did not include the simultaneous filing of a motion to compel arbitration nor the reservation language required by Code of Civil Procedure §1281.5. Approximately a month into the Zenovic lawsuit, Zenovic attempted to compel arbitration in the San Diego case filed by Von Becelaere. The trial court denied Zenovic's petition claiming that Zenovic waived the right to compel arbitration by failing to adhere to the requirements of §1281.5 when filing its Orange County action.

How Do You Deal With Your Mechanic’s Lien Claim When You Have An Arbitration Clause?
By Kenneth S. Grossbart Abdulaziz, Grossbart & Rudman
Continued
Zenovic appealed the San Diego County ruling arguing that Zenovic did not waive its right to arbitration in the San Diego case because the San Diego case did not include a Mechanic's Lien action which Zenovic claims is the type of action that triggers §1281.5 and the requirement of either filing a petition to compel arbitration or reserving the rights to arbitration. The Court of Appeal disagreed with the arguments in Zenovic stating in pertinent part that §1281.5(a) provides for a waiver of your arbitration rights of "any right of arbitration the person may have." The Court of Appeal concluded that Zenovic had a right of arbitration and the fact that they filed their Orange County lawsuit with-out petitioning the court or reserving their rights acted as a waiver of its right to arbitration. The area of construction law can and often is a complicated area of law. When you start looking at Mechanic's Liens, Stop Notices, Bond Claims, it can become even more complicated. A Mechanic's Lien is a substantial right given to contractors. It provides contractors with the ability to have a pre judgment attachment and be-cause all of these points and others, the law gives contractors a very short timetable within which to act upon their Mechanic's Lien. It is because of these points and others, that contractors and others who have Mechanic's Liens rights must act quickly and must follow the strict interpretation of the law.
