Do you need help with AQMD? CARB? Cal/OSHA? Cities
or counties? CSLB?
EDD? Transportation Permits?
Unions? Workers Comp?
SCCA can represent
your interests in every area of your
business. We regularly appear before dozens
of agencies, boards, commissions,
regulators, trusts and unions on behalf
of our members—saving them millions of
dollars in
the past 35 years. Our forward-thinking
members have helped to found and
participate as members of every
significant industry effort in Southern
California.

What SCCA can do for you
■ SCCA's
unparalleled full-time labor relations
team has helped members successfully
negotiate labor related disputes.
Working with our trade unions, SCCA has
negotiated master labor agreements that
include provisions for grievance
procedures and arbitration, adding
protections for both our members and
their employees.
■ SCCA maintains a
full-time local government affairs
program, including staff and consultants
on a wide-range of issues. These people
meet with local agencies to represent
your local interests, and needs. We help
local governments understand the issues
from the contractor’s point of view.
■ SCCA is the first California
construction trade association to
develop an affinity program to benefit
its contractors. This program
enables the businesses that provide
goods and services to the industry to
offer special discounts to its
contractor members. In many cases these
discounts more than cover the annual
dues of our contractors.
■ SCCA is the
founding member of the Operating
Engineers Alternative Dispute Resolution
Trust (ADR), which will lower your cost
of workers compensation insurance. We
also participate in the Laborers, Cement
Masons, Ironworkers and Carpenters ADR
programs for our members.
■ SCCA is a
founding member of the Construction
Industry Air Quality Coalition (CIAQC)
which helps shape the regulations so
that contractors can continue to operate
their businesses within a more
reasonable set of air quality rules than
those originally proposed. SCCA and
CIAQC are leading the industry response
to crippling regulations coming from the
California Air Resources Board.
■ SCCA
is founding member of the Construction
Industry Coalition for Water Quality
(CICWQ) which is currently working to
shape the regulations proposed by the
state and regional water quality control
boards. These proposed-regulations
include a cessation of grading on
projects over 5 acres for 5 months of
the year.
■ SCCA established the
Construction Industry Transportation
Consultant Program to streamline
equipment move permits and eliminate
single use permits for many cities. Our
industry saves millions in permit costs
every year through this effort.
■ SCCA
promotes legislation for the benefit of
our industry through our legislative
committee. We support candidates for
office who support the construction
industry through our political action
committee SCCA PAC and we maintain a
full-time legislative advocate in
Sacramento.
■ SCCA works with the
California State Contractors License
Board to help our members with licensing
issues. We review the license status of
every member, notifying those who are up
for renewal—and, in some cases,
facilitating their renewal through the
CSLB labyrinth. We changed in licensing
requirements with regard to general
engineering contractors subcontracting
hazardous work to "Haz" contractors,
through our legislative efforts.
■ SCCA
successfully supported measure "A",
Riverside, and Measure “M”, Orange,
highway improvements funds, and
Proposition 42. These and other measures
provide more work opportunities for our
members.
■ SCCA members are active
participants on the Construction
Industry Advancement Fund and the Fund
for Construction Industry Advancement.
These organizations fund grants that
contribute to important organizations
and issues that help support our
industry.
■ SCCA keeps its members
abreast of the many and rapidly changing
conditions that affect your day-to-day
business through our information
services—magazine, directory, electronic
newsletter, Fax Blast Bulletins, email
and regular monthly meetings in
locations through out the 12 county
area. We provide networking
opportunities through our membership
meetings, golf tournaments and social
events. Our web site had 115,229 unique
visitors and 1.53 million hits in the
past year.
■ SCCA successfully
processed appeals on behalf of members
with UIAB, EDD, OSHA, AQMD, APED, and
many other government agencies and
commissions.
■ SCCA offers an approved
Accident Illness Prevention Program
produced by the Safety Committee and to
the industry. SCCA reviews the safety
records of all companies who submit
annual accident data and holds an awards
program in March. The industry's most
significant award for safety results way
beyond the call is the Albert Atwood
Safety Award.
■ SCCA is the Southern
California Chapter of the American Road
& Transportation Builders Association.
SCCA members serve of the ARTBA Board of
Directors and travel to Washington, D.C.
to push for highway funding and other
issues important to our industry.
■ SCCA is an active member of the Clean
Water Construction Coalition. This
national organization is dedicated to
improving water quality in our state and
to obtain full funding for the federal
Clean Water Act, which hasn't been done
since 1992. This will provide
hundreds of projects for our members and
thousands of jobs for our workers.
What does your business need? Odds are
SCCA can help. Give us a call.
