California's Comprehensive Water Package

Speaker: David Sandino, Chief Counsel for the California Department of Water Resources

Tunneling in Sacramento for Wastewater Transport

Speakers: Ian Ward-McNally, Construction Manager (Hatch Mott MacDonald) and Rigo Guizar, UNWI Project Manager, (Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District)

"Water is the lifeblood of everything we do in California. Without clean, reliable water, we cannot build, we cannot farm, we cannot grow and we cannot prosper. That is why I am so proud that the legislature, Democrats and Republicans came together and tackled one of the most complicated issues in our state's history. This comprehensive water package is an historic achievement. ~ Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger 11/4/09

TWO NEW PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT COURSES!!

Construction is dynamic, and changes are inevitable. The key to success is how efficiently and effectively the Construction Manager deals with changes.  This seminar will address means of avoiding unnecessary delays that can result from change, including ways a schedule can be a tremendous tool, or a misleading trap, in efficiently managing changes on a project.

Using real life changed condition examples, the instructor will teach you strategies you can implement to avert, and avoid creating, some of the stumbling blocks often associated with change.

1 Hour (1 CCM Renewal Point)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

This workshop will focus on what Owner’s Facilities/Construction Management personnel should look for in the Baseline CPM schedule from their contractors on the Owner’s construction projects. It will address how the schedule can be set up to sequester float and put the Owner in a liability position. It will also address how the schedule can be manipulated during updates to hide delays, shift the critical path to put the Owner in a liability position, or set the ground work for a delay/disruption claim.

• Understand the fundamentals of scheduling review and analysis of baseline CPM schedules

• Recognize how scheduling abuse and errors can derail a project and lead to disputes and claims

• Understand resource constraints and how they can help or derail your client’s position

• Discuss the use of update schedules to analyze delays, deal with changes and evaluate recovery plans
