NUCA'S ANNUAL FLY-IN NEEDS YOU!

NUCA lobbyists communicate regularly with lawmakers on Capitol Hill about the needs and interests of your industry. But who knows your business and the impacts of government legislation and regulation better than you? While the lawmakers and their staff are interested in our positions and materials, they really pay attention when you come to Washington and speak to them personally about how government policy affects you as a constituent and employer in their state. For that reason, we strongly encourage you to attend the 2007 Washington Summit/Spring Board & Committee Meetings, Wednesday, May 16 - Friday, May 18, 2007, at the Westin Arlington Gateway Hotel in Arlington, Virginia.

Along with Capitol Hill visits, NUCA will hold its Spring Meetings and an Awards Dinner that will honor the winners of the We Dig America Award, National Community Service Awards, William H. Feather Safety Awards, NUCA/PAC Club Awards and Chapter Awards of Excellence.

FIRST CHAPTER OF NUCA CONTRACTS RISK MANAGEMENT
MANUAL AVAILABLE TO MEMBERS

Charles W. Surasky


For several years, NUCA’s Contract Documents and Specifications Committee has envisioned the creation of a Contracts Risk Management Manual that will help utility contractors evaluate the risks associated with different contract provisions. It was announced at Utility Construction EXPO ’07 in February that Chapter 1—Differing Site Conditions is now complete and available for use by NUCA members only. The information contained in Chapter 1 was compiled and written by Construction Attorney Forum member Charles W. Surasky of Smith, Currie & Hancock LLP of Atlanta, Georgia. Surasky anticipates that Chapter 2 will cover indemnification provisions. As many as 10 chapters are contemplated.  Click here for Chapter 1—Differing Site Conditions.
