  Jim Burton, executive vice president of the Southern California Contractors' Association, said the city's goals are laudable but believes there are some pitfalls officials may not have considered.
  
  For one, forcing contractors to hire local workers could drive up prices, Burton said.Further, finding skilled labor to meet the city's requirements may be difficult if not impossible, he added.
  
  "You can't just walk onto a construction site and go to work,' Burton said."You are going to get hurt.'
  
  Burton proposed sitting down with city officials as they work out the details of the jobs program to discuss the issues from the industry's perspective.

  Prop. 47 raises concern on bids - [Cached Version]

  "I doubt seriously that any school construction would be impacted by a lack of quality contractors," said Jim Burton, executive vice president of the Southern California Contractors Association, a trade organization.
  
  "There are plenty of people, and I think (schools) will be able to bid it competitively," he said.
  
  That's reassuring to the Hawthorne School District, where escalating construction prices could stymie plans to construct two new middle schools and rebuild an elementary school, all to the tune of $64 million.

  "This measure could be a huge set back for San Diego public construction," said Jim Burton, SCCA executive vice president."Our attorneys advise, that if implemented, Prop.B could end competitive bidding as we know it for public works, increase costs for taxpayers and severely impact small and midsize contractors."
  
  "The only beneficiaries will be a few, giant national construction companies and their ‘friends.'" Burton added."This scheme will offer the appearance of corruption in the public construction process, since it states that price is no longer the deciding factor.It will make San Diego just like big cities back east, where a very few big companies control both the public works projects and the political apparatus."
  
  "We recognize the usefulness of modern construction management practices," Burton said."Unfortunately the San Diego proposition, as presented to the voters did not spell out the details of the proposal, and as we all know, the devil is in the details."
  
  "Our association is dedicated to protecting the interests of our members and contractors throughout Southern California.State law does not currently allow cities to engage in Construction Management at Risk schemes.We think the City of San Diego should continue to follow state public contracting laws," Burton concluded.
  
  Prop. B, which was losing public support on the night of the election, squeaked by on a 50.12% to 49.88% margin after the 90,000 provisional and late absentee ballots were counted.The late ballots account for nearly 20% of all votes cast and were a result of failures in a new, untried voting system implemented by San Diego County.According to local news reports, 36% of the precincts in San Diego County suffered some form of irregularity in the March 2nd election.
