Committee Reports: 1. Scope of Activity Committee Nathan T. Konishi, Chairperson

Eric R. Gruver (Deferred from July 22, 2016 meeting) – Requests clarification on the following:

Contractors License Board Minutes of the August 18, 2016 Meeting Page 7

(1) Whether a C-33 Licensed Contractor can do concrete spall repairs under this license and what are the stipulations.

(2) If so how much is he/she allowed to repair (depth etc.)? (3) Where does the C-31a/C-31d license become mandatory? (4) What constitutes "structural" and "non-structural" spall repairs? For

instance, a repair on a significant load bearing wall vs an aesthetic repair on a retaining wall perhaps? Is there a clear cut definition for "structural" spalling vs "non-structural"?

(5) Can a C33 Contractor legally repair concrete/spalls/aesthetics in concrete? To what extent?

Mr. Gruver was not present. Mr. Jeffrey Masatsugu presented written testimony in support of the C-33 Painting and decorating contractor performing non-structural spall repair work on behalf of the Painting Industry of Hawaii Labor Management Cooperation Trust Fund. Their testimony cited the January 18, 2013 Contractors License Board meeting in which the Board determined that spall repair work for the Piikoi Atrium project was “surface preparation work”, permissible under the C-33 Painting and decorating contractor’s license. The testimony also cited Mr. Dean Nagatoshi’s testimony at the Board’s July 22, 2106 meeting in which Mr. Nagatoshi stated that painting contractors typically do spall repair to properly prepare surfaces for painting. Mr. Arnold Wong of the Ironworkers Local Union 625 Stabilization Fund thanked the Board for discussing the above inquiry at the July 22, 2016 meeting through the power outage in DCCA’s building. He stated that any work that is structural and involves any rebar work requires a C-41 Reinforcing steel contractor’s license. Mr. John Gervacio, Local 360 Masons Union stated that their union members are trained in spall repair work through classes and journeyman upgrades. Spall repair is structural, and not cosmetic. Mr. Paul Kane III, Manager/Owner of Aloha Marketing Manufacturers Representatives, LLC and representing the International Concrete Repair Institute (“ICRI”) stated that if structural steel is involved, the C-33 Painting and decorating contractor cannot perform the work. If it is a minor surface imperfection in the concrete, the C-33 Painting and decorating contractor would be able to perform that surface preparation work. Work involving mixing cement based mortar and repair of rebar or fiber reinforcing polymer rebar should be done by a mason. Mr. Todd Saito of the Masons Union Local 1 read the following from an article published by the Portland Cement Association titled “Concrete Slab Surface Defects: Causes, Prevention, Repair”:

“Spalling: Spalling is a deeper surface defect than scaling, often appearing as circular or oval depressions on surfaces or as elongated cavities along joints. Spalls may be 25 mm (1 in.) or more in depth and

Page 8: CONTRACTORS LICENSE BOARD · 2016-10-05 · Contractors License Board Minutes of the August 18, 2016 Meeting Page 6 Respondent Poseley’s licenses are set to expire on September

Contractors License Board Minutes of the August 18, 2016 Meeting Page 8

150 mm (6 in.) or more in diameter, although smaller spall also occur. Spalls are caused by pressure or expansion within the concrete, bond failure in two-course construction, impact loads, fire, or weathering. Improperly constructed joints and corroded reinforcing steel are two common causes of spalls.”

Mr. Saito stated that he has 20 years in the mason industry and in his opinion, most spalling in Hawaii is caused by the ingress of moisture in the air (especially the salt air) into concrete that causes corrosion of reinforcement and results in the volume expansion of steel bars, consequently causing cracks and spalling of the concrete. He stated that spall repair work requires a C-31 Masonry, C-31a Cement concrete, or C-31d Tuckpointing and caulking contractor’s license. When tools of the trowel trade are being used, the Masons Union Local 1 believes that that the work is in the jurisdiction of the C-31 Masonry contractor. He also agreed with Mr. Wong that a C-41 Reinforcing steel contractor or a C-48 Structural steel contractor is required if the repair work is structural.

Mr. Saito stated that in answer to question # 2, a C-33 Painting and decorating classification description is limited to cement and rubber based coatings, and does not include patching cement. In answer to question # 3, when the tools of the trowel trade are used and if the base is cementious, it is in the jurisdiction of the C-31 Masonry contractor. With regard to question # 4, Mr. Saito stated that non-structural spalling would occur when the concrete freezes and thaws which do not occur in Hawaii except maybe at Mauna Kea on the Big Island. He stated that in answer to question # 5 a C-33 Painting and decorating contractor would only be able to repair spalling if the contractor also licensed in the C-31 Masonry classification. DAG Tam asked other interested parties if they could also answer and/or comment on each question presented in Mr. Gruver’s inquiry. Mr. Masatsugu stated that it is difficult to address each of Mr. Gruver’s questions because they are repetitive and some questions overlap each other. Historically, painters have been performing spall repair and have applied cement based epoxy as a rebar primer to treat corrosion on the rebar. Mr. Kane stated that structural repair refers to repairs of any load bearing member such as load bearing walls, columns, and beams. Application of cement based and epoxy material to repair spall is structural. When rebar is exposed and needs to be coated or cut out and repaired, it is a structural repair and requires the input of a structural engineer. Work is non-structural if there is no steel involved. Bug holes, pinholes, pockets and other minor surface imperfections that can be filled in with caulking or spackle using a knife for surface preparation can be performed by painters. Another example of non-structural work is the nose bar around the railing post. Mr. Kane disagrees that painters should be performing spall repair work. Rebar can be repaired with tie wire and not necessarily require welding because

Page 9: CONTRACTORS LICENSE BOARD · 2016-10-05 · Contractors License Board Minutes of the August 18, 2016 Meeting Page 6 Respondent Poseley’s licenses are set to expire on September

Contractors License Board Minutes of the August 18, 2016 Meeting Page 9

welding can cause problems with the rebar. They have been using Pele’s hair in epoxy to get away from steel rebar. The Board asked Mr. Kane if he considers surface preparation to be non-structural spall repair. Mr. Kane answered in the affirmative. Mr. Masatsugu stated that there is a broad range of circumstances and that the determination of whether a spall repair is structural or non-structural depends on what is found at the project site. Dr. Gaur Johnson, Assistant Professor of Structural Engineering, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Hawaii at Manoa, stated that he is a member of the Structural Engineers Association of Hawaii (“SEAOH”), Hawaii Building Code Council and the American Concrete Institute (“ACI”) 562 Evaluation Committee. Dr. Johnson stated that the history of concrete repair is not good. He related that he met with the SEAOH the previous week and spoke with C-31 Masonry contractors. A Cement concrete contractor related to him that the following are not uncommon:

Engineer or owner states that a painter chipped the concrete out from behind a post tension cable resulting in a major structural failure

Decks are not shored properly during repairs or pour backs

Reinforcement sistering or change out not safely addressed

He stated that concrete spalls are often the first signs of a significant, underlying structural issue. For this reason he believes that repairs need to be performed by a contractor who has the fundamental understanding of what causes spalling to occur, and the C-31 Masonry contractor is the appropriate contractor to perform spall repair as they are adequately trained to perform this work. If C-33 Painting and decorating contractors want to perform spall repair, they should get the C-31a Cement concrete contractor’s license. Dr. Johnson noted that he reviewed both the Board’s and Prometric’s websites. According to the Prometric website, the reference materials which serve as the basis for the current C-33 Painting and decorating examination include: (1) Painting and Decorating Craftsman Manual, Painting and Decorating Contractors of America, and (2) Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Department of Labor (cont’d), 29 CRF, Part 1926, GPO: 1995; whereas one of the reference materials for the C-31a Cement concrete is the Uniform Building Code, Vo. 1 1997, International Conference of Building Officials (“UBC”). Dr. Johnson stated that the C-31a contractors have met the minimum competency requirements to do the structural spall and concrete repair. The Board stated that it seems extreme for painters not to do any spall repair. Dr. Johnson shared an example where his father sat on an Association of Apartment Owners (“AOAO”) Board in Honolulu. The AOAO had hired painters to perform painting and spall repairs. A few years later the AOAO is having to spend a lot more money to fix the prior concrete repairs. Dr. Johnson stated these repair projects are burdening consumers with large unexpected costs. He stated that half of the concrete repair projects are going back to the AOAO

Page 10: CONTRACTORS LICENSE BOARD · 2016-10-05 · Contractors License Board Minutes of the August 18, 2016 Meeting Page 6 Respondent Poseley’s licenses are set to expire on September

Contractors License Board Minutes of the August 18, 2016 Meeting Page 10

who had substandard repairs completed by painters. Within two years, the AOAOs are having to perform repairs and hire structural engineers to evaluate the site. Dr. Johnson stated that if you see one spall, that does not mean there no more damage. The Board asked Dr. Johnson if any kind of spall repair work must be completed by a C-31 Masonry contractor. Dr. Johnson responded that it is hard to answer that question because it depends. For example if there is obvious corrosion an expert would be needed to take a look at the damage. He also stated that he does not know where to draw that line. That is why he takes the position that if you believe that you are qualified to perform spall repair, get the license. Further, because deterioration is becoming a problem, only qualified individuals should perform spall repair. Mr. Kane added that it’s like going to the dentist. It’s okay for the dental hygienist to whiten your teeth, but would want the dental hygienist to fix a sore tooth? No, you would want the dentist, who is qualified, to fix your tooth. Dr. Johnson stated that the International Concrete Repair Institute (”ICRI”) has developed nationally recognized training and certification programs and suggested that it may be useful for the Board to consider it as part of the license requirements. Dr. Johnson asked the Board to consider who is qualified to perform spall repair, and the consequences of allowing untrained individuals to perform spall repair.

Executive Session: At 9:12 a.m., it was moved by Mr. Kagawa, seconded by Mr. Konishi, and

unanimously carried to enter into executive session pursuant to HRS section 92-5(a)(4) to consult with Rodney J. Tam, deputy attorney general, on questions and issues pertaining to the Board’s powers, duties, privileges, immunities, and liabilities.

At 9:35 a.m., it was moved by Mr. Kamai, seconded by Mr. Lee, and

unanimously carried to move out of executive session and to reconvene to the Board’s regular order of business.

Eric R. Gruver – Requests clarification on the following:

(1) Whether a C-33 Licensed Contractor can do concrete spall repairs

under this license and what are the stipulations. (2) If so how much is he/she allowed to repair (depth, etc.)? (3) Where does the C-31a/C-31d license become mandatory? (4) What constitutes "structural" and "non-structural" spall repairs? For

instance, a repair on a significant load bearing wall vs an aesthetic repair on a retaining wall perhaps? Is there a clear cut definition for "structural" spalling vs "non-structural"?

(5) Can a C33 Contractor legally repair concrete/spalls/aesthetics in concrete? To what extent?

Recommendation: Defer this matter to allow interested parties an opportunity to provide additional information. The Board requests that individuals testifying today and other interested parties submit their testimony in writing; answer question nos. 1 through 5; and submit codes or standards (and relevant sections) referred to in the testimony for the Board’s consideration. The Board requests that all interested parties provide the information by September 1, 2016. It was moved by Mr. Konishi, seconded by Mr. Lee, and unanimously carried to approve the above scope recommendation.

Appearances Before the Board: d. Joseph M. Rojas, RME Hale Pono Construction LLC “B” General Building Executive Session: At 9:40 a.m., it was moved by Mr. Konishi, seconded by Mr. Lee, and

unanimously carried to enter into executive session pursuant to HRS section 92-5(a)(1) to consider and evaluate personal information relating to individuals applying for professional or vocational licenses cited in HRS section 26-9, and to consult with Rodney J. Tam, deputy attorney general, on questions and issues pertaining to the Board’s powers, duties, privileges, immunities, and liabilities pursuant to HRS section 92-5(a)(4).

At 9:55 a.m., it was moved by Mr. Leong, seconded by Mr. Matsuoka, and

unanimously carried to move out of executive session and to reconvene to the Board’s regular order of business.

Mr. Leong informed Mr. Rojas that the experience documented qualifies for a

C-6 Carpentry framing contractor’s license and does not qualify for a “B” General building contractor’s license. He lacks the requisite experience in the “B” General building classification and could work for a “B” General building contractor or his contracting entity could hire an RME licensed in the “B” General building classification to gain more experience in this classification. Mr. Rojas stated that he would be regressing if he were work under a “B” General building contractor. Chairperson Polischeck stated that the requirements for a “B” General building contractor’s license is 48 months of supervisory experience in that classification.

Mr. Rojas stated that he interested in applying for the C-6 Carpentry framing classification.

After discussion, it was moved by Mr. Leong, seconded by Mr. Matsuoka, and unanimously carried to deny Mr. Rojas’ application for licensure in the “B” General Building classification because he did not meet the experience requirement; amend his application to the C-6 Carpentry framing classification; and to approve Mr. Rojas’ application for licensure in the C-6 Carpentry framing classification.
