Learn About Your Issues and
How to Make Your Point!

Economic Loss Doctrine (Standby Time) - Excavation Technology vs. Columbia Gas Supreme Court Decision - This decision goes against the principles of the PA One Call safety issue and payment for Standby time should be considered to promote good safety practices and save money on utility relocates
Plumbers' Licensure - HB 442 and SB 183 - The definition found in these bills is of concern to NUCA PA members. A cost/benefit analysis should be done to quantify the value of this licensing bill. NUCA PA opposes these bills as currently written.
Project Labor Agreements (PLA's) - Fair and open bidding is the clear message here.
Separations Act - modernizing the law to allow for choice in project delivery gives the public entity the ability to choose the best option for their project:
Design-Bid-Build with Multiple Primes
Design-Bid-Build with Single Prime
Design/Build
Construction Management-At-Risk
Integrated Project Delivery
Procurement Code Changes - Saving money in hard times can be as simple as including Standby time language in the law.

Use this opportunity to learn more about your industry issues. It's also a great time to learn how to best present these issues to your Legislator.

April 11, 2018 - 7:00 a.m.

Our April 11 program begins with registration and breakfast at 7 a.m. Speakers for the April 11 morning session, include:

-- DEP Secretary Patrick McDonnell, who will discuss new, streamlined permitting processes being implemented by his agency;

-- State Treasurer Joe Torsella, who will discuss a recent task force he convened to examine the crush of soon-to-be-retired baby boomers who are falling short of retirement security. Torsella is leading a bipartisan effort to create state sponsored retirement accounts for private-sector employees.

-- State Sens. John DiSanto and Michele Brooks, and state Reps. Dawn Keefer, and Daryl Metcalfe, who will discuss a package of legislation to mirror federal regulatory relief reforms and permit reforms.

-- State Reps. Mark Mustio and Seth Grove who will discuss legislation to prevent local governments from enacting burdensome mandates like Philadelphia’s Soda Tax and other costly mandates.
