@CAPLS, I apologize as I believe my question below has been answered by the "Application Process for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors" flow chart on the BPELSG website, but I wanted to confirm it prior  to dispersing the information to associates/recent graduates: Since an applicant...

https://workforcenow.adp.com/jobs/apply/posting.html?client=KJWW&jobId=192775 We are seeking a Project Engineer to join our Civil Engineering team in Ontario, CA. Our civil engineering group provides engineering planning, general consultation and design services for private developers for...

Not cool, glad I am not in the business of procuring those funds.

Again IMHO, and this isn't my specialty, so please correct me if I am wrong; Every city/county is required to do this if they WANT to be eligible for transportation funding. There is no Federal law mandating this; the federal government can not tell a city or county to upgrade their sidewalks...

I apologize for my ignorance of municipal rules/laws/finances/everything but why does your City 'observe that requirement'? Where does it say you need to R&R adjacent non-compliant anything? Did anyone in the city read the case and the DOT/DOJ 'memo' or did I read them both wrong? My...

I do have those, and did prior to 1/1/13, but those were only semi helpful. A CaldDAG would have been more; helpful except that took over a year to produce after the 2013 CBC became law.

Ptatohed, does your city have someone on staff who is a Certified Access Specialist (CASp)? I haven't ran into a RCE with it yet, so far all of the ones I have met have been Architects.

MUCH smaller scale but, I just started a 1.2 mile resurfacing project for a local city. During the initial field walk (after wining the design contract) the City Engineer decided he wanted all sidewalks, driveways, ramps and intersections to be ADA compliant. He said he reads the CBC as, if...

I work for a civil consulting company and we do a lot of work for the California State Universities. Over the past ten years some of these campuses have gotten hit with huge lawsuits and they have thrown TONS of money into removing and replacing their paths of travel. On one campus we have...

People with confidentiality agreements know why the exam increased by five questions.

For Seismic I have NOTHING but amazing things to say about EET for the same reasons as above. The web-based class was easy to learn from and Dr. Ibrahim is an amazing instructor who truly wants every student to learn and understand everything.

The tabbing I did in the MUTCD was the most beneficial for me. I skimmed through the whole manual a week before the test and tabbed anything I figured they could ask on (like charts for cone distance, or sign distances). I quickly found every answer they asked out of the MUTCD.

Sirius had a class action lawsuit a few years back and it happened I called them 10+ times during the time period in question for the lawsuit. The result was I got a check which bought me 7 years of service on my truck and still had $500+ left over. I didn't get Sirius subscription on my daily...

I picked up my new gun today, then got bored because the range was already closed:

I see idiots like this on Lake Havasu all the time. Lots of time it is guys in their mid-twenties who do construction or are fire fighters and they have no clue how to operate the boat; they just haul ass and almost kill people by cutting them off or crossing right behind other boats at speed...
